We clip the following from the Reese
River Reveille
LITTLE MIAMI LEDGE.-From present
hnpearances Yankee Blade will become a
bisce of some importance on account Of
the number Of good lodges found in the
vicinity. In one Of our late issues we gave
. description of the celebrated Maggie
ledge. We have nov to chronicle another,
equally as good; it is called the Little
Nsami ledge, upon which the MerTimac
company claim !, 800 feet and the Ontario
company claim 800 feet From the ap'
'peasanse IS us SyN. Vhey are nov s&SS@S
,out We should cslf this an a No. I ledge.
The similarity Of the rock taken from the
Little Miami, Maggie, and the Oregon
Company lodges would almost lead . per-
ssa to believe that there is . continuous
ledge from upper Austin to Yankee Blade
We learn from the superintendent, Mr.. j.
s. Currie, that the shaft was one hundred
feet deep before they struck the sulphuret
rock, although some Of the richest rock
We ever saw came from near the surface.
The vein at present is two feet vide, with
bard casing above and below. It is
rather singular that they have not found
water yet, although in the Paul Jones,
only fifteen feet distant, waAcr is found at
the depth Of fifteen feet. A few MAggies
and Little Miamies will make Austin look
to her laurels.
OLD HICKORY, ANADoR DISTRICT Since
Mr.. Robert Hanegan has taken the Super
intendency Of the Old Hickory, the claim
has been made to present much more
favorable appearance. Before proceeding
to sink upon it to a great depth. he has
stripped the outcrop for thorough exami,
nation over three hundred feet Through
out this course he finds the ledge FROM
seven to ten feet in thickness, and present
ing a most promising lode throughout. 1t
is the intention now to proceed with the
sinking Of the incline, when we have no
doubt that the Old Hickory will prove the
equal Of any claim in AVnador. A small
quantity Of rock from it was lately worked
at one Of the mills in this city, which gave
q result Of about two hundred and fifty
dollars per tun. The Old Hickory is in
Coral Canon, a short distance above the
Rough 4 Ready, and is very similar to it
The lodes OF Amador District, lie within
few degrees of n horizontal, are very
regular, and parallel TO each other, and
overlap like the shingles on the roof Of a
house.

A tax Of five per cent, on the gross
proceeds Of the mines wou!d Suspend mi.
ming operations in this StRte and Washoc.
It costs now about Sl4 an ounce to re.
claim gold in the best placer diggings; so
that company carrying on hydraulic,
tunnel, or river mining, at an outlay of
say 100000 per year, c.n only count
upon about Sl30, ,00C in gold dust as their
gross receipts at tho end of the year. To
tax this 5 per cent. would be equivalent
to tax Of % per cert. on the company'S
net earnings; and this is so palPably I'M
just as to require no argument to combat
it We have supposed that the compa
ny'S net profits en- an expenditure Of
500, 900 would be $50, 900, or 80 per
cent That is about the profit merchant
realizes. What would it look like if Gov
ernment should propose to levy a tax Of
% per cent on the profits Of all mer
chants? And yet we have presented the
case in much better light for the miner
than the facts warrant. Where there is
one mining company thai realize an an
nual profit Of 80 rer cent, there are TWEEN
ty who don't realize IL. Iet us adapt
the argument to the latter condition, and
see how we shall come out. A company
spends 100000 to get out Sllo,0 900 in
gold dust. 1t has $l5, 900 clear; but from
this it is compelled to pay the Govern.

S9,250, or nine and a quarter per cent.
profit on 100000; while the Govern
ment tax really amounts to nearly 40 per
cent Of the company's earnings. And so
the tax becomes moro and more burden.
some and unequal as the profits Of the
mine run down to the lower per cents. -
AT q net return Of ten per cent. profit,
which is fully as much as Is realized by
half the mining enterprises of this State,
the Government tax would just eat up all
the profit and drive the $780, 900 invest
ment out Of the mines into some other
business anything below 10 per cent
profit would bring the miner in debt to

"No, Hildred, I have never married.

She was kind and tender and womanly.

From that hour wonderful change
came over Hildred Hayne. Once more

The Age of Man.

But few men die of age Almost all
die of disappointment, passional, men
tal or bodily toll, or accident. The
passions kill men sometimes even sud-
denly. The common expression, chok-
ed with passion, has little exaggeration
in it; for even though not suddenly
fatal, strong passions shorten life.
Strong bodied men, often die young
weak men live longer than the strong,
for the strong use their strength, and the
weak have none to use The latter take
care of themselves ;sthe former do not.
AS it is with the body, so it is with the
mind end temper. The strong are apt
to break, or like the candle, run; the
weak burn out. The inferior animals
which live temperate lives, have gen.
orally their prescribed term of years.
The horse lives twenty-five years, the
OK fifteen or twenty the lion about
twenty; the hog ten or twelve; the
guinea pig six or seven. The numbers
of all bear proportion to the time the
animal takes to grow to it's full size.
But man, of all animals, is the one that
seldom comes ap to the average. He
ought to live hundred years, accord.
ing to this physiological law, for FIVE
times twenty are one hundaed ; but in
stead of that he scarcely reaches, on an
average, four times its growing period.
The reason is obvious-man is not only
the most irregular and the most intem-
perate, but the most laborous and hari-
worked of all animals. He is always the
most irritable of all animals; and there
is reason to believe, though we cannot
tell what an animal secretly feels, that,
more than any other animal, man
cherishes wrath to keep it warm and
consumes himself with the fire of his
own reflection. -

gulf, twenty miles wide by twenty-four

is nothing, except in the sacred feet which
once trod it's shores. 1t stretches for
twenty miles and more along a beach of
a semicireular form, with its horns tur-

extends crowded with blocks of stores
and houses, and teeming with moving
crowds while shop-keepers, artisans, wo-
men and children seem equally numerous

dozen or fifteen miles might be added
to the length of the city in this direction,
since there is nothing but an unbroken
succession of towns and villages for this
distance, which are as populous and well
built as the city itself

with houses and stores as compactly as
they can be built, and crowded with
moving and stationary masses as thick as
in our Washington street or New York
Broadway, at least for considerable dis
tances. The population is estimated gen
orally at three millions, which Mr.. Har
ris, our minister, thinks is no exaggera
tion. For my part, judging from what

By FRANCES A. SHAW,


Paraphrosed from the Ger'aan
These words give courage to the breast.
The winds may blow, the tempest lower,
We will defy their utmost power,
And cry, amid their wild alright.
"Whateyer happens will be right"
Whatever comes is for the best -
This keeps us calm mid life's unrest
Though far away the shore may lie,
And waves rise round US mountain-high,
Our destiny is in His hand,
Who rules the sky, the sea. the land.
Whatever comes IS we'll What power
Have words like these in sorrows hourt
They keep the heart forever warm,
They charm away the power to harm,
Despair can never be our guest,
When we can say, "All's for the best"
Whatever comes is for the best,
Then let us bow to Fate's behest.
Through health or sickness, veal or woe,
Heavens wisdom marks our lot below,
Thank God for this sweet ark of rest

Christ Jesus All in All.

A very old German author discourses
thus tenderly of Christ:
"My soul is like hungry and thirs-
ty child, and [ need his love and conso-
lations for my refreshment; [ am wan
dering and lost sheep, and l need him
as good and faithful shepherd; my
soul is like frightened dove, pursued
by hawk, aud l need his wounds for
refuge; | am feeble vine, and I need
his cross to lay hold of and wind myself
about it [ am sinner, and I need his
righteousness; [ am naked and bare
and need his holiness and innocence for
covering; [ am in trouble and alarm,
and I need his teaching; simple and
foolish, and | need the guidance of his
Holy Spirit.
In no situation, and at no time, can I
do without him. Do pray he must
prompt and intercede for me. Am I
arraigned by Satan at the Divine tri-
bunal? he must be my advocate. Am 1
in affliction? he must be my helper.
Am [ prosecuted by the world? he
must defend me. When l am forsaken,
he must be my support; when dying,
my life; when moldering in the grave
my resurrection. Well, then I will
rather part with all the world and all
that it contains, than with thee, my Sa-
vior; and God be thanked, | know that
thou too art not willing to do without me.
Thou art rich, and [ am poor; thou
hast righteousness, and | sin thou hast
oil and wine, and | wounds; thou hast
cordials and refreshments, and | hunger
and thirst. Use me, then my Savior,
for whatever purpose, and in whatever
way, thou mayest require. Here is my
poor heart, an empty vessel fill it with
thy grace. Here is my sinful and trou-
bled soul; quicken and refresh it with
thy love. Take my heart for thine
abode; my mouth to spread the glory
of thy name my love, and all my pow
ers, for the advancement of thy honor
and the service of thy believing people.
And never suffer the steadfastness and
confidence of my faith to abate, that SO
at all times [ may be enabled from the
heart to say, "Jesus needs me, and I
him, and SO we suit each other"

RUSSIAN ToLERATIoN.-The follow
ing statement proves that Emperor Alex
ander IL is sincerely and faithfully car
rying his liberal policy into religion:
"Two Baptist Clergymen of Germany,
on mission into Poland, were thrown
into prison by the district court in Cour-
land. As soon as the question came be-
fore the Directing Senate, the decision
was reversed. But the Czar, not content
with this, has issued an imperial ukase,
which sets forth the principals Of relig-
ious liberation. Read these words as
they came from the throne of st. Peters
burg. The emperor says, the use Of
force is all the more to be deprecated in
doctrine of religion, which may later
find acknowledgment.
