the Topography and Hydrology' of the Mis-
sissippi Valley accompanied by table exhib-
iting the Mississippi and its numerous tributa-
ries The author was unable to ascertain the
exact distance to which this stream was nav-
gable but he has satisfied himself that the
aggregate exceeds twenty thousand miles,
From this fact some idea may be formed of the
vast influence which this stream and its tribu-
taries are to exert upon the commerce and
industry of the North American continent
1t will be seen, from the recapitulation which
we subjoin, that the total length of the "Great

Followlng the Lord-An itenerant
preacher recently travelled among the
northwestern counties of this state. He
was mounted on an animal whose ap-
pearance indicated very bad keeping-the
mere frame work of what had once been
a horse. Riding up to the door of coun-
try inn, he inquired of the landlord the
distance to the next town. The host
coming out was SO forcibly struck with
the appearance of the animal upon which
the querist sat that he walked around him
twice before giving the required informa-
ton: He then inquired:
"Who might you be, if it is fair ques-
tom"
Il am the follower Of the Lord" he
replied.
"Follerin' the Lord, eh!" demanded the
hosl. "Well, I'll tell you what it is old

EXTENSIVE RoBBERY.-From the Alta OF
Saturday last, we have the following
A miner who had just arrived in the city
with l35 ounces Of gold dust in buckskin
bag in his pocket, besides several $40 pieces,
stopped in Saloon On the corner of Battery
and Pacific streets, kept by one Pete Miller.
whilst there he drank several glasses of claret
and then laid down to sleep in the inside room,
and when he awoke discovered that the money
and dust were gone. A friend came with him
to the Office After making his statement a
policeman was despatched to arrest a boy
belonging to the establishment, on whom there
there rests strong suspicion. The owner of
the house was sick in bed and the boy was the
only person in the house who waited on this
man, and received the money for the liquor.
Rules for Young Men Keep good COM
pany or none. Never be idle. If your
hands cannot be usefully employed, attend
to the cultivation of your mind. Always
speak the truth. Make few promises.
Live up to your engagements. Keep your
own secrets if you have any. When you
speak to person look him in the face
Good company and good conversation are
the very sinews of virtue. Good character
is above all things else. Your character
cannot be essentially injured but by your
own acts. If any one speaks evil Of you,
let your life be go that none will believe
him. Use no kind of intoxicating liquors
nor tobacco. Forever live, misfortune ex
cepted, within your income. When you
retire to bed think over what you have
been doing during the day. Small and
steady gains give competency with tran.
guilty of mind. Never play at any game
of chance. Avoid temptation through
fear you may not withstand it. Earn mon
ey before you spend it. Never run in
debt unless you see way clear to get out
again. Never borrow if you can avoid it.
Battle every day. Do not marry until you
are able to support wife. Never speak
evil of any one. Be just before you are
generous. Keep yourself innocent if you
would be happy. Save when you are
young to spend when you are old. Read
over the above maxims at least once
week.
