Golden Era wakes indignant over ne%spa-
per article which declares the married life
of literary people to be unhappy, and in
disproof refers to Shakespeare, Milton, Cer-
vantes, Samuel Johnson, Chaucer, Dryden,
Cowper, Scott, Shelley, Professor Wilson,
Lockhaft, Jerrold, Macaulay, Tom Moore,
Benjamin Franklin, Prescott, Longfellow,
Morris and others. We agree with the Era's
argument, but consider some of its illustra-
tions rather unfortunate. There is no proof
that Shakspeares marriage was happy one,
while that profound scholar and astate critic
DeQuincey pretty conclusiveiy decides that it
was not. The great dfaniatist was mere boy
when he marriedAnnIfathaway, who was con-
siderably his senior, and he might not have
pefpetrated matrimony with her at all if he
had not, as DeQuincey delicately argues,
cropped it's sweets by prelbation, and been
constrained by circumstances and sense of
honor to make the only reparatioh possible.
All he left her in his will was his second best
bedstead, though perhaps he would have
beqneathed her the frst best if that had not
been an heirloom Millions con5ngal expe-
rience was notoriously unhappy, at least at
its commencement. His first wife left him,
for some cause unknown, few weeks after
taking his name, and his violent rage there
at, which led to the production of several
well known treatises on divorce, may be
considered the only spot on his character.
Within year the illustriohs couple were
reunited, but there is no evidence to estab-
lish their subsequent Felicity, except the fact
that Milton took second wife not long after
the death of his first He was man of very
severe notions concerning women. Old Sam
johnson, the Grsa Major Of English litera-
ture, married widow of about forty when
he was only twenty-seven He said it was a
marriage of love, and we are bound to be-
lieve him. Dryden was welded to lady Of
rank, who brought him fortune. Such
unions are seldom blissful, and this one was
hardly an exception to the rule, for the poet
and his noble spouse are said to have had an
uncomfortable .ime of it. Cowper was never
married at all, though his platonic love for
the excellent widow Unwin, who gave him
home until her death, was the chief conso-
latlon of his melancholy existence. Scott
was mated to- woman of ordinary mind
who could not appreciate him, but they lived
pleasantly together if there was no remark
able felicity in their union. Poor Shelley
was unhappy in his first marriage, which he
annulled without legal process; but his SUBJ
sequent union with the intellectual Mary
Wolstoncroft was every way fortunate.-
Macaulay was another literary bachelor. He
was never married except to the muses.. The
remainder of the instances cited above are,
so far as we can remember quite pertinent.

The RICHEST QUARTZ IN THE WoRLD.-This
is what may be said of the wonderful quartz
vein lately struck near Jacksonville, South
ern Oregon, if the reports concerning it
prove to be true. At present there seems to
be no sufficient reason for doubling them
The telegraphic rumor to which we alluded
last week is confirmed by a regular CORES
pondent of the Alta, writing on the spot
He declares that the Emigrant Company
cleaned up after ten hours grinding with a
common arastra, 400 ounces of gold, worth
about 7,84ol This was merely from out
groupings. tThe same day two of the cora
pany commenced taking quartz from the
ledge. They worked about six hours, then
weighed the quartz taken out, and from
safe estimate, it was found that, in that short
space of time, they had taken out the enor-
nous sum of $4,000. These figures may
seem astounding, but they express nothing
more than solid fact"
The 4Aa's correspondent then gravely re-
marks:
''It is now ascertained that there is twelve
leet Vi the leuSe Ol pure unDurneu quartz,
twenty inches wide and six feet deep, that is
permeated with threads of gold, and will pay
above ten dollars per pound. So far, its
richness increases with depth. The last
quartz they took out yesterday, at the depth
of six feet, pays one dollar to the ounce
Tomorrow they could easily take out $780,
900 worth of quartz"
This may all be true, for in the economy
of nature gold is worth no more than any
other metal and there is perhaps no reason
in the nature of things why it should not be
found yet in solid masses, like copper on
Lake Superior. But such extraordinary
statements as the above require the most
ample confirmation, before they can be i'm
plicitly credited. In what an age of won
ders we do live, to be sure
