such a state of affairs should exist. The
clergymen themselves are at fault Aband-
oning the truths of the Bible TO fraternize
with the infdel Abelitionists of New Eng
land, they have lost the faith. and have led
their people after false gods. Love and
charity with them have tnrned to gall and

moraiized people, they are casting about for
a remedy, and foolishly think that IN order
to save their religious faith from utter ruin,
st Is necessary that the negro should vote, or
the Roman Catholics will become the stroag-

How TO PRESERVE A BoUoUET.-A florist
Of many years experience sends the follow
ing recipe for preserving bouquets to the
American Artisan . When you receive a
bouquet, sprinkle 1t light with fresh water !:
then put intoea vessel containing some soap
suds, N.hiehf noarish the roots and keep
the flowers as good as new. Take the
bouquet out Of the suds every morning, and
lay It sideways IN fresh water, the stock ens
terIng first into the water; keep-it there a
minute Of fwo, then take It out, and sprinkle
the flowers lightly by the hand with pure
water. Replace the bouquet in the soap.
suds and the flowers viii bloom as fresh as
when gathered. The soapsuds need to be
changed every third day. By observing
these rules, 4 bouquet may be kept bright
and beautiful for at least one month, and
viii last longer in very passabIe state; but
sne attention 70 the fair but frail cratures, as
directed above, must be strictly observed, or
the last rose Of summer will not be left
blooming alone, but will perish. y

Be YoUk 0ES RIeHT HAND MAN.-Peo-
pie who have been bolstered up and leyered
all their lives are seldom good for anything
In a crisis. When misfortune comes, they
look around for something to cling to or lean

go at once.
Once down, they are as helpless as cap

cannot find their feet again without such as

Such silkea fellows no more resemble self

THE SECTION ALONG THE INTER-
NATIONAL BOUNDARY LINE.


lists along the 49th parallel, from west Of the
scene OF the Suilkameen mining excitement
to the intersection of the International Bound
ary Line and the Selkirk Range. Since 1858,
considerable evidences of the existence OF
mineral wealth in this district have been
collected but the mineral combinations are
such as to defy the simple processes Of ordi-
nary miners, and hence the lack OF popular
appreciation.
Going north from the Dalles, the indications
Of mineral deposits commence after cross
ing the dividing ridge between the Yakima
River and the Weenatche. Here, in 1860, is
where gold prospects were obtained and
worked, until the prevailing excitement in re-
gard to the Nez Perces country carried off the
few miners who had until then thought they
were doing very WELL On Lake Chelan some
quartz has been found Of encouraging rich
ness, and as the prospector goes north the
mineral indications become more marked.
From thence east, there are many and various
kinds of mines, which must ultimately prove
of incalculable value.
On the Simikameen, are many extensive
lodes of argentiferous galena; on Lake Okin-
akane, copper mines of great richness and
extent are discovered, and in accordance with
the very liberal mining laws of the Colonies,
important interests are already vested. The

of commercial value, there are, gold, silver,
lead, antapony, arsenic, magnetic iron, black
jack (black mica schisD and graphic-tellurium.
the center of these mineral deposits, which
lie on both sides of the rim which divides
the waters of the Columbia and the southern
affluents of Frazer River.
The rocks are of the metamorphic forma-
ton, and carry the usual traces of minerals
due to the vicinage of extensive lodes of the
metals which we have mentioned.
This district may be slow in development,
but its future is certain to be prosperous.
1t is one more of the promising fields of labor
which are dependent on the Columbia for
supplies, and which will have this city for
: its starting point. It has, in its surround.
ings, pastoral advantages equal to any in the
7 Columbia Basin, and fine agricultural bodies
of land at convenient intervals.
The copper of that country will un.
=. doubtedly prove its most valuable feature, IL
