the Ia naol AUSTRALIAN Osra MrNEs.-Durinf
.ne year 1862 there were emnloaee
IN The Australian gold fields an avsr, ~
dgeo age number of 97,942 miners, the pro
uuce OF whose labor was 1.7Oe 4sC
ounces equal to sso,ooo,o 900. Tbis
es 'he average weekly earnings
~ eaon @ miner within fraction of SIS.
In 1868 the average number of miners
employed was 92,292, who produced
i'o'o'oo9 ounces, equal to s29, ,4O5, ,422.
During the year 1864 the averaoe
oo NUMBER OF miners employed was 49,.
oof' VINO obtained as the result of their
.aoors' l,557 ,SO7 ounces of gold Dur.
ing the first half of 1865, the number
OF mon engaged was S5,O22. Tbev
produced 756,435 ounces of gold
These results, it will be seen, are quite
uniform for the past three or four
years. The first six months of the
presentyear, more especially the latter
half of that period, was trying time
TOR the miners. The long continued
drought exercised most prejudiciaI
Influence. AT many of the newly
opened fields, especially, numbers of
men were idle from the want of water,
the working of machines was sus.
pended, and the yield of gold was very
sensibly effected. Under these cir.
cumstances a very serious deficiency
was expected in the amount of gold
produced during the period referred
to. That this has not been the case
speaks we'll for the wealth and per-
manency of the auriferous resources
of Australia.

An importaAt invention has been
MADE in San Francisco, intended to
facilliAte the lowering OF boats IN case
of shipwreck, or in stormy weather.
The boat is dropped intstaneously from
the davits, and launched with an I'M
petus that at once clears it from the
side of the vessel. 1t is fair estl.
mate that one half Of the lives lost
by the wrecking of ocean steamers, is
caused by the swamping OF the boats
as they are lowered This invention rs
an incalcufable benefit in such cases'
pnowNED.- Just before dark on
Sunday evoning, o woman started 10
eross the Columbia River on the ice,
from the foot Of Union street, and
after getting out a short distance
broke through and disappeared
Whether she broke through accident
allv. or went out ON the ice with tn
,ntantion to commit suicide is no
snown. as no clue has yet been Oh
tained as to who she was.

Didn't Know the Ropes.


Western officers are proverbial for
shocking bad uniforms; and is a majority
of cases it was rather difficult to distin.
guish them from privates Among this
class was Brigadier General named
James Morgan, who looked more like {
wagon master than an army officer. On;
certain occasion new recruit, just arriv
ed in camp, had lost few articles, ant
was inquiriug around among the ''vets'
in hope of finding them.
An old soldier, fond Of sport, told The
recruit the only thief in the brigade wa:
in Jim Morgan's tent, SO he Immediately
started for "Jim's" quarters and, poking
his head in, he asked
"Does Jim Morgan live here?"
"Yes,p was the reply; my name il
James Morgan #e 7aa
"Then want you to hand over those
books you stole from me"
II have none of your books, my man.
"It's an internal liel" Indignantly ex
claimed the recruit, the boys say you're
the only thief in camp; so turn out then
books or I'llagrind your carcass into ap
pie sass"
The General relished the joke much
but seeing the sinewy recruit peeling Of
his coat, he informed him of his relation
ship with the brigade, when the recrui
walked off remarking: sn -
"Well, blast me if I'd take you for
Brigadier. Excuse me, General, / dom

The Color Test Under the Civil
Rights Law.

r. s.
A half dozen highfalutin gentlemen Of
color went into frst-class restaurant on
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington City,
the other day, seated themselves at a ia
bile, spread their napkins, summoned mine
host, and gave gorgeous order for broils;
stews and fries. They were quietly in.
formed that they could not be served
that there was no provision fer ''colored
custom" 10 that house. "No! Look
ahea, now; reckon you hasn't read the
Civil Rights Bill" The orator was then
informed that he was in restaurant, no;
in Congress, and that the discussion OF
the Civil Rights Bill was not before that
house. He was also requested to leave,
which he did, five dark countenances fol.
lowing him. e
The New York World relating the fore.
going described scene, says this test
will be tried in all the cities, and negroes
with wallets well stuffed by Radicals vii
be sent to the first class hotels to see il
the Civil Rights Law does not entitle
them to places at the table, rooms on The
first floor, drinks at the bar, and "all the
rights and privileges of citizens of all
the States" SO

Swearing in a Cook.

"See here, Dixie, before you enter the
service of the United States, you must be

"Yes,mas do dat" he replied, whom
the corporal continued:
"WeIl, then, take hold Of the Bible, y
holding out little envelope upon which
was delineated the Goddess of Liberty
standing upon Suffolk pig, wearing the
emblem of our country. The negro
grasped the envelope cautiously with his
thumb and foreGnger, when the corporal
proceeded to administer the oath by say
ling:
You do solemnly swear that you will
support the Constitution of the United
States, and see that there are no grounds
floating upon the coffee at all times. ;,
"Yes, massa, / do dat" he replied i
alters settles him in de coffee pot
Here he let go the envelope to gestic-
ulate by downward thrust of his fore
finger the direction that would be given
to the coffee grounds for the future.
"Now mind how you do it" shouted
the corporal. "But hold on to the Bi-
| blel'
."Lardy, massa, I forgot" said the ne
gro, as he darted forward and grasped the
envelope with frmcr clutch, when the
corporal continued: -
"And you do solemnly swear that you
will support the Constitution of all the
loyal States, and not spit upon the plates
when cleaning them with your sleeve"
Here frown lowered upon the brow of
the negro, his eyes expanded to their lar
gest dimensions, while his eye protruded
with rounded form, as he exclaimed
"Lordy, Nasal neber do dat. wash
es him nice. Old missus mighty 'tickler
bout dat"
"Never mind old missus,' shouted the
corporal, as he resumed, "and you do
solemnly swear that you will put milk in

too little.
"Yes, I do dat; rs good cook"

In THE WRoNG PLAcE.-An old Meth
odist,very great at responses, which were
not always appropriate, but always well
meant went one day to hear a popular
preacher. The preacher, usually lucid
was rather perplexed, and felt it himself
lie labored through the first part, and
then said:
aBBTTSthren, l have reached the conclu.
sion of my first point"
"Thank Godl" CALCULATED the old man
who sat before him, profoundly interest.
ed, in voice that was heard in every par
of the old church.
The last part of the sermon was harder
to preach than the first.

The Devil and the Lawyers.
deHil came up to earth one dav.

The deYil came up to earth one day,
And into a court house he wepded his way,
Just as an attorney, with a very grave face.
Was proceeding to "argue the points in the
case"
Now. a lawyer his majesty had never seen,
For to his dominions n one had bsen
And he felt very anxious the reason to know
Why none had been sent to the regions be-
low.
Twas the fault of his agents, his majesty
thought,
That none of these lawyers had ever been
caught,
And, for his own pleasure, he felt desire
To come to the earth and the reason inquire.
Well, the lawyer who rose, with visage SO
grave,
Made out his opponent consummate knave
And the Devil was really greatly amused
To hear the lawyer so roundly abused.
But soon as the speaker had come to close,
The counsel opposing then fercely arose,
And he heaped such abuse on the head of the
first,
That made him villain, of all men the worst
Thus they quarreled, contended and argued SC
long,
It was hard to determine which of them was
wrong, i
And, concluding he'd heard quite enough Of
the "fuss,"
Old Nick turned away and solilloquised thus
IF all they have said of each other be true
The Devil has surely been robbed of his due
Bat Pm satisfied now it's all very well,

And Pm free to confess they have puzzled The
Devil

If had them, they'd swindle me out of my
throne,
