Circumstances prevented General Cass
once upon time from attending Harbor and
River Convention at Chicago, and circum-
stances" it is presumed, prevented President
BUchanln from makingIthe slightest allusion in
his pon Ierous message to an internal commerce,
the magnitude of which is shown in the fact
that single Lake port winters three hundred
sail employed in its transaction. The Lakes

Gold Mine. of British Columbia.

The London Times sent out correspondent
to the Gold Mines of Frazer River, and his let
tiers give favorable account of the richness Of
the mines and the operations of the miners, and
contradict the discOuraging reports by way Of
California He represents that certain claims
are as rich as those of California, and that all
who persevere are certain to do well in the long
run. The writer visited the cliams generally,
and found the miners averaging from $500 to
much larger sums per day. The gangs at work
are numerous, and rich return for labor is be-

that the Emperor Napoleon has conferred the Or

LITTLE ELLIE's CHRIsTMAs;G GIFT,
BY EMEL1NE $. SMITH.

Twas near that time of festive thoughts,
And visions wildly bright,
When little hearts begin to throb
With fever of delight,
And little children cannot rest
For gladness, day or night
The busy, busy Christmas time
When swiftly fly the hours,
As fair hands tiuiter o'er bright tasks,
Like bees DER summer flowers
Weaving some pretty gift of love
To grace Loves rosy bowers.
The happy, happy Christmas timel
When Care is lulled to sleep;
When even sad and suffering hearts
Forget awhile to weep;
And lighter ones, with laugh and song,
joyous revel keep.
The holy, holy Christmas time
When purest thoughts have birth;
When Peace aud loving kindness smile,
Fair guests, at every hearth;
And angels seem, as long ago,
Again to walk the earth.
Twas near the merry Christmas time
In many home, ween,
Were gay and gladsome children then,
But where might one be seen
So blest as Ellie, darling child,
Her households fairy queeni"
Joy set a crown upon her brow,
And gemmed her sparkling eyes;
Joy tuned her voice to match the songs
Of larks in morning skies;
Joy made her smiles like CLEANS of light
Direct from Paradise.
She sat upon her fathers knee;
The evening fire burned bright
And summer warmth glOwed round his heart
On that bleak winter night,
As he listened to his darling child's
Soft prattle of delight.
"0h I'm so happy, dear papa,
l scarce know what to do;
I've bought sweet gift for mamma,
A doll for sister Loo;
A splendid toy for brother Charles,
And one for Willie, too"
"And what for met" the father said,
Affecting gravest tone;
"Of all my little Ellie's friends,
Am the only one
That is to have no Christmas gift
Alas what have done 2'
A moment on his face she fixed
wondering, wistful gaze;
Then suddenly, as clouds obscure
The sun on April days,
Ger all those radiant features fell
look of sad amaze.
Down fell a food of sorrow soon;
Down fell the tears like rain,
And the voice that rose moment since
In such gladsOme strain,
Was tremulous and broken now
By childish sObs Of pain.
"Oh! dearest, kindest, best papa,
A wicked child am
Inever even thought of you;
Now Christmas morn is nigh,
And there S no time, no time, alasl
Another gift to buy"
With that, adown the pretty cheeks
The tears more swiftly run,
But the smiling father kisses off
These treasures, one by one,
And-"He are precious pearls" he said;
"More precious never shone.
Eyes, darling daughter, words of truth
And tears of love to me,
Are deaTer far than trinket fine
Or costly gem could be;
And the sweetest of all fairy gifts
I've had tonight from thee"
1 said that angels walked the earth
Oh surely then they smiled
Upon that little fireside group,
The father and his child;
Till both their loving spirits were
By hsppiest dreams beguiied.
l said that angels walked the earth;
But not alone they stray
About our homes at Christmas tide,
For still, by night and day,
Wherever little children dwell,
They're lowering alway.

From Salt Lake.

We were shown letter last evening, re-
ceived by man in this city, from his son,
who is in Salt Lake, and of course is Nor
mon. 1t Is dated Salt Lake City, February
9th, the day the mail left, and from it we
extract the following items, which, although
not particularly new, are interesting as cor
roborative of other statements.
"We get along quite well, having plenty
to eat, but very little to wear, clothing being
very scarce, as no goods have been brought
in here this year, and you cannot buy yard
of goods of any kind, which is possibly done
to force us into manufacturing. X Il
We have 1000 mounted troops, well armed
who are in the mountain ranges, watching
the enemy; and our intention is to enjoy
freedom at any cost. AS last resort, if we
are overpowered, we shall burn evrything
and cross the mountains, where we shall be
unmoested; but we never intend to be con-
quered." Sacramento Bee.

Placer County Mining


The Placer Courier of the 18th inst gives
the following mining items.
The Jenny Lind Tunnel took out last week
we understand, 100 ounces. The Gore
claim yielded last week 24O ounces. The
Golden Gate Tunnel at Bath took out Is
pounds. The Davis Claim, at the same place,
we hear are striking it very rich, we did not
hear the amount. The Washington claim
at Yorkville, continues to do we'll, having
taken out last week something over seven
thousand dollars.
STRUCK Ir.-The Virginia claim situated
on Owl Creek, near this place, after working
for the last four years, has at last been re-.
warded with an excellent prospect. They
got to the pay dirt on last Friday, and it
prospects $3.50 to the pan. The adjoining
claim the Republic, struck like prospect on
the same day. The Virginia Tunnel has been
run IN at cost of $2l 900.
A RICH CLA1M.-The North Star Union
claim situated at Iowa Hill, we were told
yesterday, has yielded, for the last eight
months, twenty-five thousand dollars per
MONTH The hands employed in this claim
are 10, and has been paying the above amount
since they got through" the rock. p
