4 SvccEs FuL Tr!oE.-A young and skillful
disciple Of Robert Houden was some time ago
travelling in the northern provinces of France,
giving exhibitions in natural magic, in COM
pany with young wag now director of a
printing establishments in Paris
In their wanderings they arrived at the
tow: Of r., not renowned for the natural
brilliancy of its inhabitants Here the re-
ceipts OF the magician were absolutely moth
ing, and despair reigned in the hearts of our
two Adventures What was to he done?
by my faith" said the assistant magician,
''it will never do to say that we did not mike
expenses lave it! Let me write poster
for one more entertainment, and if the attrac
tion don't anpwer, call me no assistant for Il
high priest Of diablerie."
"At the urgent request Of the large and in
telligent audience of our former entertain
ments, we have consented to perform the as
founding feat of making the cathedral bell
ring any hour indicated by any Of the audi
ence"
There, how will that do ?"
But how are you to fulfil the incredible
promise p
"Oh never mind. Am not worthy pupil
Of a skiliful master? Leave that to me-"
Night came, and with it a crowd Of the
curious. All went off well, and now came
the feature Of the evening. Any one was
asked TO name a number.
"Fourw came from the crowd
In fear and trembling he mighty magician
eXteaded his hand towards theScathedral-
when one, two, three, -four doomed slowly
from the cupola. The cold perspiration was
starting to the exhibitors brow, and the au.
dence shouted with delight and surprise.
Encore encore p resounded from all part.
of the room Again what was to be done
Buta voice from behind the curtain said
"Go ahead, old boy--it's all right"
With sigh of relief, the exhibitor repeat
ed the miracle again and again, and the spec
tators departed filled with enthusiasm,
"What in tke name of wonder have yor
been doing?' exclaimed the puzzled prncpa
to his laughing assistant, as soon as the door
were closed
"Why, gave the bell-ringer five francs tC
stay in the belfry and ring as many times IA,
placed the candle in the window, and
think it succeeded pretty well NEST ce pas !?
replied the other, shGking the well filled casl
box.
The next day, as they were starting in tn,
cars one of the old city councillors came t,
them and begged that they would explain
the miracle.
1T Is magnetism my friend" said the ma
gican, with grand flourish of his hand. an,
the magistrate departed, much edited an,
perfectly satisfied.

Fitting through the garden,
AS vision bright,
Cheering up the old house
Like a CLEAN oflisht;
Nipping off the rose buds,
And verbenas gay,
In and out of mischief,
AL the livelong day.
Pecping in the stable,
At the horses heels,
Trotting after wagons,
For their rolling wheels;
Stealing papa's pencils,
When les out ofsight.
Scribbing books and papers,
"Baby likes to ite."
Standing in the duck pond,
Sailing there her shoe;
Calling "dear mama, tome see,

GRANGE on MoN1Ez Miss Rowena Gran
ice, well known in the theatrical profession
of California, contributes to the Auburn Sig
nal brief and finely written eulogy upon
the late Lola Montcz Miss Grauice speaks
knowingly of Lola's acts of charity. She
says;
That she possessed noble generous heart,
filed with Kindness and eympathy, all must
admit. Her purse was ever open to the call
for charity Her carriage was often stopped,
that she might descend to relieve the uulor-
tunate cripple. and he mendicaut was never
turned from her door without having cause
to bless the little white hand and pleasant
face of their generous benefactress Her
deeds of charity were not heralded 70 the
world through the press in flaming charac-
ters for the purpose of making her popular,
or securing the patronage Of the public dur
ing certain theatrical engagements; and al
though she may not have contributed largely
and publicly to orphan asylums and charila-
Die institutions she found aud relieved mul V
a poor little orphan by the way side, and
sent them home with glaG hearts "God
bless Lola Montez, and may his blessing go
with her !" once heard an old Irish woman
exclaim Several poor families whom my
self nave visited, have spoken of the unso-
licted relief which they have received from
her. And ladies, who at other times looked
upon this noble woman as person not wor-
thy of their rotice when they were about to
take up co lection for the Improvement of
their church, would present the subscription
list with the fall confidence of receiving a
large donation.
The Fair Rowena' thus concludes her last
tribute to the memory of the brilliant Lola:
Dear lady readers, speak only of her good
qualities; for had she, like many of you, been
surrounded by kindly induences-her young
mind trained TO moral worth-her ambition
checked by the gentle and loving voice of q
mother had brothers and sisters, and kind
friends gathered around the freside of heI
early hone and watched her into woman
hood with her lofty and towering talent, she
might have been The brightest ornament oi
the present age

PoULTRy.-A writer in the Stanisaus In
dex, discussing poultry" says:
"Nothiug about ranch is more profitable
than poultry; it matters not whether You sell
the eggs and young fowls or consume both at
home, it pays; and it would be better if a
little more care was bestowed on this source
OF profit. A good hen house should be pro-
vided IL possible, with roosting and laying

they are bought by weight and not by tale

Last year We had an old pet hen among
the denizens of the poultry yard, under tie
nom de pl,tme of Step mother-she would
adopt and take care of any young brood Of
chickens, if any accident deprived them Of
their maternal parent, or they were deserted
too soon by their natural guardian. One
day we found a stick, about six inches long
the size of your little finger, had perforated
through and through her crop. We thought

DIED.-A Frcnchman named John Bop,ist
IIite, died suddenly at the County Hospital
in Nevada, on Sunday morning. He had
been in the Hospital but a few days, and the
nature of his disease was not certainly known
until after his death, when post mortem ex-
animation was made, and it was ascertained
that his heart and liver were diseased. Both
those organs had enlarged to nearly double
the ordinary size.

"OUT OF THE DEPTus There died, in this
city, last week. a poor woman Very posi-
ble for fpoor women" die every day in the

one died When her troubled spirit winged
its way TO a better land, no one was near to
listen to the parting word, and the hearse
that bore the body to Lone Mountain was not
followed 10y a single mourner. An honest
lrshnan, in whose house she had lived and
died, told us the little story of her life. We
were passing as the hearse rolled from the
door, and wondering at tie lack of attend
ance, inquired the cause and learned the
story. Her parents live in San Francisco
are well tordo people, and church-goer Two
years ago she eloped with a man who was not
her husband, and who perured himself in
neglecting to make her a lawful wife, Six
months after, he left her, alone and destitute
Heart broken, she roamed the streets ell day
and all night, though the mist was falling,

home and craved forgiveness for the past

do not know you" said the father, and the
mother looked coldly into the face of the
pcntent sufferer and offered no word of com
fort. She silently rose and went forth into
the world again Heaven hath indeed de
serted'me let me now die" six months ago
she rented the house in which she died.
Some man. who was frequently seen there,
paid the rent; but he, too, left her the week
before SIZE died. Her heart was broken and
fhe attempted to drown in dissipation the
memories of the past. With bloated face, and
eyes duh and leaden, the spirit left her, and
it her last thoughts were not a curse upon
the parents whose hearts had been closed
against her when a single word would have
saved, it was because there was still left
enough of the angel there to pity and forgive.

TERRIBLE SPECTACLE IN SouTu AMEmCA-A
HoRpID PYRAMID OF SERPENrs. A traveller in
South America writes:
In the savannahs of Izacubo, in Guiana,

the inhabitants, no traveller has ever men
toned it, We were ten men on horseback,
two of whom took the lead in order to sound
the passage, while | preferred to skirt the
great forest One of the BLACKS who formed
the van guard returned at full gallop, and
called TO me, Here, sir, come and see the
serpents in pile He pointed out to me
something elevated in the middle of the sa-
yannah or swamp, which looked like a bun
die OF arms.
One of my company then said, "This is
certainly one of the assemblages of serpents
which heap themselves on one another after
u violent tempest | have heard OF these, but
have never seen any; let us proceed eau
tiously and not go too near" We were with.
in twenty PAGES oft the terror of our horses
prevented our nearer approach, to which
none of us were inclined. On e sudden the
pyramid mass became agitated horrible his
sings issued from it. Thousands of serpents
rolled spirally on each other, shot forth 'out
Of their circle their hideous heads, and pre-
sented their enormous darts and fiery eyes to

but when saw this formidable phalanX re-

PROVED TO HER HUSBAND THAT HE WAS

late hour the other night, after participating
| in political meeting, in a very unsteady
condition of mind and body. The next
morning his wife told him he must have
been drinking to excess the night before; bat
the husband stoutly denied having touched a
drop The woman then informed him of sev
eral absurd things he had done, each aud all
of which he explained on reasonable grounds
She then said to him, "When | went to let
you in, you threw your arms about my neck,

gentleman. "Oh, yes there is" said the
