l'S are rev anu Tar between, ana so they seen
indeed to be. Editors ali over the world ar,
announcing every now and then that angel
have visited their sanctums--of, course the,
were only ordinary mortal females robed il
Calico and all that sort of paraphernalia mi
nifed and etherealzed into the celestial b,
inflated imaglnations. But granting, as W.
are willing to do at this moment. that such
we see on the streets and at church thus al,
rayeo are angelic, and still their visits to GU,
sanctum are few and far between. Once Of
twice one of these bewitching creatures ha'
ventured to step over the Threshold charity
and remain few minutes; again a sweet lit
tie kid opened the door and stood moment
like the tableau of Eva ia the play, filling the
office with CONSERVATION at the splpndor o.
the apparitiOn, then gave celestial te-bs and
vanished into thin air. With these exceptions
angels have not deigned to visit us either in
person or by terrestrial presentations.
" Are ye forever to your skies departed?
= will We visit this dim world no more
whose bright wings a solemn splend0r darted
Through Eden's fresh and hoWery shades OF yore?
We read in Milton that
Angels contented with their fame in heaven.
Seek not the praise of men f."
and, that they spend their hours in Joy and
hymning;' = SO that We are inclined to doubt
the presence of the genuine article even in as
enchanted an earthly paradise as a printing
office but If any Of their counterfeit simii-
tudes OF Bannock wish to make us happy with
their presence, they will always be welcome,
and we shall be delighted to see thea. withal.
OYHEE AGAN.-Judge E. 7. Beatty, who
has just returned from the Oyhee mines, has
shown us specimens from the Morning Star
and Orc Elmo lodges. The Morning Star,
from which specimens have hitherto been
shown US by other parties, we have from the
first been convinced is about the best rock
that has ever been brought to this place from
any lode. The specimens brought in By Mr..
Beatty, which he assures US are not better
than an average of the whole lode, though not
SO rich as smaller specimens submitted 10 our
inspection from the same claim, are still more
as to its richness they are large
and represent the ledge fairly in its entirety.
An assay Of this rock, made for Judge B.,
showed yield of $1,000 in silver and $500
n gold. The silver permeates the entire rock |
md il not in spots and particles as is the case
II many Lodges, specimens from which assay
veil but do not work up to the prospect. The
)ro Elmo is Of different character the rock
$ Light; shows the presence Of a considerable
amount of gold and silver, but has not been
lSsayed that we know Of A town on Jordan

III the available building ground there is in

overed with snow, no building has been be-

killing winds in that region, and the Judge
