rIIninr Items aud Reflections.

MR.. EDITOR There appears to be n little ncredn>
lity in the outer world, about the richness of the
mines in this vicinity. Many visit us and 90 away
without any satisfactory proof that this is indeed, the
Ophir of antiquity There is kind of apathy in
Strangers to pitch in aud prospects and thus many
leave Us unsatisiied who, did they only follow the
example of the old nhabitants of the place, would
not only do Justice to Orovle but also enrich them
selves In proof of this, there is not single mining
operation upon the immense la between Oroyille and
Lynchburgh Pike Hill, Carpenters Flat, or Robin
.spn Hill. winch has heen properly cogdacted, which
has not only paid wages after the style of 40 or 80,
but has, of our own knowledge, enabled many to
turn to the home of their childhood, husbands to
heir wives, fathers to their children, and lovers TO
the arms of the dear ones at home. But few facts
will serve better to satisfy the ncreduous; The
CLAIM owned by Messrs. Boulod, Clauchet Co, oi

knowledge, produced during the last week. the neat

Minne-ha.h ha.

This name, signifying Laughing Wa
ter, is given by the Dacotah Indians to a
beautiful water fall between Fort Smelling
and st. Anthony's Falls, in Minnesota
Territory. 1t is favorite custom with
the citizens Of st. Paul, the fourishing
capital of Minnesota, and of strangers
visiting that locality, to drive to Fort
Smelling, and from thence to ST. Antho-
ny's Falls, taking Mime ha-ha in Their
way, and to return home by shorter and
more direct route
Fort Smelling is situated upon blu E
at the point where the Minnesota river
empties into the Mississippi, about seven
miles distant from ST. Paul. Having
crossed the Mississippi in a ferry boat and
wound around the base of the bluff, you
ascend to the plateau on which stands
the fort. Here you see stretching out be-
fore you an extensive prairie, with some
rolling ground lying op the right hand
toward the upper Mississippi. In the
course of pleasant drive across the prai
ia, the excursionist comes suddenly up
on a stream, about three rods wide, which
glides quietly, but rather swiftly along
the banks of which are skirted by few
bushes and small trees.
The stranger would proceed on hi:
route and cross the stream without sus
pecting the proximity of the falls of Min
ne ha-ha, but those acquainted with the
locality seek a point below the crossing
| tie up their teams to one Of the small
trees, and after walk of few rods init
the sparse timber, find themselves upor
the banks of deep ravine, into which
the miniature river enters by downright
plunge of fifty feet, apd then runs ava.
in quiet manner, as if stunned by th'
fall from the prairies above Chamber
ing down the bank by the aid of project
ing roots and shrubs, you approach tn
fall of the Laughing Water, which whi
tens into foam as they descend, and driv
up cloud Of spray from the pool below
The water is poured over shelf of roc
in semi-circle form, as regularly shape
as if fashioned by a Yankee mechanic
and under this shelf visiters pass behin
the fall around to the opposite side, dr..
shod. A neater water fall than this coul
not be Whitfield out with a jack knife, an
this is the Mime ha ha-Laughing Wa
ter--after which Mr.. LongfelIow ha
named the interesting squaw described i
his story of Hiawatha.

From Peterson's Magazine.
The Schoolmistress.
BY MARIE s. LADD.

She bends her head at her weary task,
With patient trust she smiles.
And her toll seems light as ray of hope
Her saddened heart beguiles.
She lifts her hair from her broad, fair brow,
When the Summer sun shines warm,
Then gently chides her restless group,
And her words fall like charm.
And they mistily pore their eyes on books,
And look their lessons through;
But they silently dream of the flowers they saw
That morn in the sparkling dew
She moves from her seat and the scholars smile,
As she noisless treads the floor
A child leans forward to touch her dress,
While another looks out the door,
And longs to be with the birds and flowers,
And beautiful things and bright,
But smile from the gentle face hard by
Changes his musings quite.
Her task is done and she stands alone
In the shade of the school house door;
The little, restless, pattering feet
Have pressed its threshold Ger.
And her heart is out with the beautiful things
Her soul looks through to God,
And she gives no thought to to-morrow's task
Nor slghs at the chastening rod.

A Bachelors Defence.

An unmarried editor wards off the
thrusts made by his more fortunate breth-
rem in the following style:
Bachelors are styled by married men
who have put their foot into it, as only
half-perfected beings, cheerless vaga
bonds, but half a pair Of shears, and many
other cute titles are given them while or
the other hand they extol their own state
as one of such perfect bliss, that a change
from earth to heaven would be somewhat
of doubtful good. If they are SO hap
py, why don't they enjoy their happiness
and hold their tongues about it? What
do half of the men get married for p
Simply that they may have somebody tc
darn their stockings, sew buttons on theil
shirts, and trot the babies that they
may have somebody, as married mar
once said, g to pull of their boots wher
they ARE little balmy." These fellows
are always talking of the loneliness O.
bachelors. Loneliness, indeed Whe
is petted to death by the ladies with mar
riageable daughters ?-invited to tea and
to evening parties, and told to drop in JUS
when it is convenient The bachelor
Who lives in clover all his days, and
when ne dies has flowers strewn on his
grave by all the girls who couldn't entraE
him? The bachelor. Who strews flow
ers on the married mans grave His
widow Not bit of it; she pulls dowr
the tombstone that six weeks grief has
Sc, up in her heart, and goes and gets
married again, she does. Who goes te
bed early because time hangs heavy on
his hands? The married man. Who
gets scolding for picking out the softes
side of the bed, and for waking up the
baby when he turns out in the morning
The married man. Who has wood tc
split, house hunting and marketing to do
the young ones to wash, the lazy servan
GIRLS to look after? The married man
Who gets divorced ? The married man
Who is taken up for whipping bis wife
The married man. Finally, who has go
the Scripture on lis side y The bachelor
st. Paul knew what he was talking
about He that narries does well; bu
he that marries not, does better
