EMPLOYMENT FOR THE DEsTITUTE.-There is
at this time, says the Alta, large demand for
workmen in the agricultural portions of the
country The rapid growth of the rich grasses,
clover and luxuriant wild oats, which wave in
endless miles of verdure over the plains and
hill-sides, calls for mowers. A number of
farmers are in town, offering $50 month to
good scythesmen, and there is, consequently,
no need of a mans suffering from want, if he
has his health and strength To the select few
who have been holding up lamp posts on Mont
gomery street for the last year, and are evil
IDENTIFY in need of exercise here is offered a fine
chance, where the beauties of Nature can be
enjoyed, good country fare ensured health re-
established, and trifle laid up for a rainy
day. There is no excuse for indigence, with
such offers as these held out to strong arms
and willing hearts

GRAND LODGE, F. A. M.-The NJ. w. Grand

BOILING QuARTz.-Not long since, we pub
lished, from the Scientific american, state
ment to the effect that boiling quartz in mer-
curry added greatly to the profitable results OF
quartz mining and, in fact, that it increased
the yield to snch an extent that, in localities
where it would not otherwise pay, the addi-
ton of the boiling process not only made it
profitable, but in many instances realized
splendid results.
We are informed by gentleman from
Angels, that the quartz men in that vicinity
nave tried the experiment, to limited extent,
upon their ores, and are so highly gratified
with the results, that extensive improvements
are projected with a view to constitute the
ooiifng process as much fixture in quartz
mining, as the mill itself Some are so SAN
game OF the brilliant results to flow from the
adoption of the Improvement, that revolu-
'ioh IN quartz mining is predicted for the ft,-
'ure--Soaora Democrat.

AND DEATHs-0n our fourth page will be found
this law, passed at the recent session of the
Legislature. Edwin r. Campbell, formerly
editor of the Sierra Citizen, has been appointed
State Registrar. We rather like the officer,
but the office is sinecure and ought never to
have been saddled on the ax-ridden people
it is only an additional tax, to give some
office-seeker, too lazy to work, living. The
idea of paying political hummer per cent
age on the marriages, births, divorces and
deaths in this State, is contrary to our notions
of progress.

our sunny fountains roll down their golden

their loveliest apparelngs and decked them

Mr. EAaor:-The May Days-when child

who does not love to visit these delightful
gatherings and look upon theirinnocent amuse-
ments? Here, we put care away and leave

farmer, alike drive from their minds all bust
ness affairs, and at the May-day fete, devote
the hour to the awakening Of thc recollections
of earlier years. And many are the ones who,
as they gaze upon those little faces flush with
health and happiness, and while memory
travels back over the desert of the past, in
