"LoDEs" AND LEADS. y" Lo,lcS" has be.
como q common word in California. Two
years ago it was never heard except from some
pcdantic aud impractical gcologist. The word
originated in the Cornwall tin mines; ii i.
synonymous with "vcin." Lodcs containing
metallic ores, only, are said to be "Olivc;
those including lapidcouS or rocky substances,
are called dead" lodes. The word lead, is O
corruption Of lode, aud was introduced in the
gold regions by GalcnA lead s'inCrs, and was
soon generally adopted. "Struck lead,
was used To express the idea that miner had
found 4 deposit Of gold; or if any one was
very successful in other business, by figure
Of speech il was said that he had struck q
lead" We think the word "vcin" preferable
to either oC the terms. Veins contain the
life principle Of the human body, as lOdes con.
tain the metallic motive power Of the world

AMERICAN GMT IN PARIs.-A late London
paper says:-Thc scarcity Of Americans pres
rnt at Lady Cowlcy's ball-which attracted,
Of course, various i'll naturcd remarks from
the French journNliSts-was entirely owing to
the order, cminating at the eleventh hour, TO,
all gentlemen to be in full court dress, knee
breechcs and court collar. The Americans
have always resisted this injunction, and in
this case preferred abstaining altogether from
making their appearance. One Yankee wit
answered the summons by declaring that,
Never having possessed but one of those un-
mentionablc garments, which his wife had
seized upon the very day of his marriage. and
had worn ever since, he had not dared to ask
her for the loan upon this OCCASION"
