BoNNER,sM AT THE SoUrH.-The South
ern papers have an attractive advertisement
in the Bonner style, reading, "Ten thousand
negroes--ten thousand negroes--ten thous-
and negroes-s saved yearly, saved yearly,

Jacob, of patriarchal memory, the spiritual
illusion vanishes, and we ind that it is only
terrestrial disease from which jacobs corr

negroes average thousand dollars apiece
in the market, ten million dollars is no

all means if we had an interest in planta-

VINO SHOULD GO TO Pixies PEAK.-The
Leavenworth Ledger of the LIT ut. says
"We often hear young men, who never
did any hard work in their lives, talk about
going to Pixies Peak. We ask such what
kind of work they think gold digging is?-
Let them turn out here and get themselves
into practice by digging wells, cellars, coal,
quarrying rocks, maulng rails and rolling
saw-logs, and eat dry bread and wash it
down with water, and sleep on the ground
in fair weather and foul, and then form an
opinion about work of digging gold. Dig
ging gold is no chiid's play and it is only
the strong, able bodied, hard-working men
that will suit for the business. The men
who succeeded at the mines in California,
were strong Of arm, stout of heart, and on
ly such men can succeed at the gold mines.
A bull has just as much business in china
shop as glove-handed clerk or fair-fa ced
mechanic has at Pixies Peak.

results of the wounds. A month since,
Mrs. Gouldy, who was enceinte at the time

All the ther members of the family, except
the servant who died at the City Hospital,
have quite recovered.-N Y. Tribune.
