Pixies Peak Gold Mines.

Since the issue of our last, our city has
been, and is now, the scene of unusual
excitement, occasioned by the fatterng
reports of the newly discovered gold
mines of Pixies Peak. There can be no
doubt but that the accounts which have
reached us are Of the most encouraging
character, sufficiently so to justify COM
pany in outftting and leaving for the new
Eldorado, even if nothing more is heard
from the Pixies Peak regions. Men well
known to our citizens, and whose state
ments can be relied upon, have returned
to our city from the diggins, and brought
with them specimens of gold, the purity
of which cannot be questioned. They
represent that there are numbers there
who are realizing from So to 500 per day
from washing out the gold, and yet who
enjoy comparatively no facilities for OBJ
tainingit Most of the specimens brought
to our city were dug by hatchets and
such other like implements, showing very
conclusively that with the proper tools
for mining, ones labor would be quite
profitable. Suffice it to say that our citi-
zens regard the accounts as sufficiently
encouraging, and numbers of them con-
template starting for the diggings be-
tween now and the middle of September,
while there will be additional large COM
panies ready to embark as early as prac-
ticable in the spring.-Rdnsas City Metro

There is a rather widespread desire
manifested among our citizens, to get pos
session of piece Of the ocean telegraph
cable, for keepsake, and telegraph ope-
rators are much annoyed by requests to
get bits oft for their friends and others,
or to inform them where it can be got.
In order to supply the want here indicat-
ed, Messrs. Tiffany & Co., of this city,
have bought the hundred miles of cable
now remaining on board the Niagara,
which they intend to have cut up in small
sections for sale, to be mounted or other
wise, as purchasers may prefer. The bar
gain for the cable was closed on Satur-
day, at about four hundred dollars per
mile.
We understand that Messrs. Tiffany &
Co., also intend to prepare and present a
handsome specimen of the cable to every
State and collegiate library in the United
States, as we'll as all the libraries in Can
ada and the other British possessions.
The Atlantic Telegraph Company have
also decided to present specimen of the
cable, as a souvenir, to each and every tel
egraph company now in existence-Me,O

ModastY

There is a resiStless charm in a modest
demeanor, which is worth more than all
the arts by which designing women seem
to captivate the opposite sex. Meretri-
cioHs attractions may chance to please to-
day; but native excellence, with the
simple setting of modesty, will delight
tomorrow and next day, and so on, with
out interruption. Moreover, the pleasure
which we derive from spurious or shallow
charms is always followed by disgust,
when we come to see that we have been
imposed upon. 1t is not agreeable to our
amour propre to know and feel that we
have been cheated. The old paradox
about "beauty unadorned," has much
truth in it, and is very pointedly and
prettily rendered in the following epi-
gram -
As lamps burn silent with unconscious light,
So modest ease in beauty shines most bright,
Unaiming charms with force resistless fall
And she who means nomischief does it all P'
