if this mining element should get the

will see this whole country overrun with
an eager and enterprising population,
which, spreading out in quest Of gold. OF

These mining discoveries, therefore

stand, the territory must fall into the
hands OF the United States and be re.

to do. For these mining discoveries
must be regarded by every Christian
man or woman as truly Providential at

Schamyl sat in bis box like statue

In the interval between the acts, Scham-
VI always lifted his eyes, looking around
him and returning the gaze Of the Curl
GUS assembly with the dignity Of king.
Curiously enough, when raising an
opera-glass to his eyes, the turban-cov-
cred man inspected the drop curtain on
the stage, evidently the subject Of great

forward, he intended to escape the con-
