Joy AT PAHRASAGAT.-We stated yes
terday, that news had been received
here by Mr.. James 0strom, agent of the
P~ahranagat Silver Mining Company, of
a rich strike on its Illinois ledge 200
feet below the surface. A piece of the
ore obtained at that depth was brought
in by the messenger, and Mr.. Ostrom
procured an assay Of it at the Office Of
the Keystone mill, the certificate Of
which was shown to US, which gave the
6ne yield Of S4s3 80 of silver per ton.
The Illinois is twenty-five feet thick on
the surface, and it has been traced SUI
pericially upwards Of two miles. Its
width where It has been cut in the tun-
mel has not yet been ascertained, al
though four feet Of good mineral have
been developed. The company holds q
location of 1000 feet on the ledge. We
learn that the joy was general at Pah-
ranagat the workmen Of the company
were granted q holiday and ample means
for enjoying it: and there was a good
time throughout the district.-Taesday's

A GIRL IysESsrBLE FOB SEVEN WEEKS.

A GIRL lSsENsiBLE FOR SEVEN WEEKS.
The Rochester IN. ~ Express, says:
At Dansville, a little girl named Rob-
iuson, aged about ten years, was seized
after dinner with q sort OF fit, her mus
Giles becoming as stiff as board. Her
jaws we're firmly locked, the abdominal
muscles hard, the toes drawn to the
bottom of the feet, the fingers tightly
clenched and drawn into the palms Of
the hands, and the entire form so rigid
that she could be raised on end by the
head or feet like a stick. At the same
time her forearms were revolving round
each other with a rapidity that no well
person could initiate. This motion con-
tinued for about half a day. Her res
piration and the circulation Of the blood
continued normal. In this strange con-
dition she continued for about seven
weeks without taking a particle Of nour-
ishment, although every effort vas
made to introduce food in liquid form
through an opening made by extracting
a tooth or by injections. The only med
ical agent that could soften the mus
cles was chloroform, and the effects Of
the application lasted only four or five
minutes. Once she opened her eyes
and replied TO a question from her ia

father, am very sick rand going to die.'
A liniment composed Of ch~loroform,
ammonia, camphor and %turpentine, was
finally resorted to and the entire skin
made red with the friction, the use of

make signs for food. About seven days
after she opened her eyes she recovered
the full use Of her faculties, and she 10

THAD. STEvEys.-Mr. Drake, one Of
the editors of the Upion Springs Times,
who is now travelling in the Northern
States, had an interview recently with
Thaddeus Stevens ut his home. he
says:
II visited Lancaster, and in the fore.

An audience. Let me first give you a
portrait of the mau and his household.
Radicals have a good deal TO say about
the close relationship some Of the former
slaves bear to their masters and their
masters friends. They tell Southern peo-
pie that numbers among their servile
class are too yellow to be white, and too
white 10 be black. They must stop
this. 1t is horribly unkind to their
great leader and master. In the city Of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the cody
North, nigh unto the pure city Of Phil
adelphis, Thaddeus Stevens has for
years lived in open adultery with a
mulatto woman, whom he seduced from
her husband, a full-blooded negro. This
mulatto manages his households, both
in Lancaster and at Washington, re-
ceiyes or rejects his visitors It will;
speaks of Mr.. Stevens and herself as

as If she enjoyed the rights of a lawful
wife,

TIE C~oloradians were furious to "go
after" the Indians, but could not get
horses, and were a little afraid "Uncle
Sam" would not pay the bills. Horse
flesh aud g~reenbacks are scarce out
there, and the twelve mounted compa-
mics Of volunteers called for BY Governor
Hunt, at the only half cordial suggestion
of General Sherman, are not likely to
be more than half supplied. But though
there is inability and hesitation iu this
direction, the citizens Of Central City,
the chief mining town, offer their money
freely 10 favor Of the favorite Western
style of carrying on an Indian val. The
following paragraph is from the Central
CITY REGISTER Of June eth:
"Five thousand dollars were offered
in half an hour yesterday by some OF
our business men as bounty for scalps,
10 be paid out at the rate Of twenty
dollars for each scalp. To avoid fraud,
It is proposed that the scalps shall be
fresh, aud shall ench have the ears on
Ten thousand moro could readily be
raised in two hours for the same pur-
pose. If this policy were adopted, the
war would be ended in six months,
never again be in~augurated."

uously styled it last winter, when they
were avowedly passing q law to tax

He "ealls again." to beg the mining
officers to aeeede to bis Infamous tax
bill terms. We are told BY Senator o.
q. Grey, that His Iuselligency, some
tine since, informed his clique that the
"mine," were 'sperfec,ly willing to pay
the taxi" No such thing. There is
plenty Of revenue to carry on the Gov
ernment and pay the interest on the
public debt, without taking a dollar Of
mine tsx. A representation to the con-
trary ouce induced certain capitalists
TO believe that a large mine tax was
demanded by eIigencies. We reckon
they have been undeceived.

THE TELEGRAPH LINE TO CrBA.-The

construct the cable, but to lay it down,
and guarantee its successful operation
for fifteen days. The cable has been
fully tested and its insulation pro-
nounced remarkably good, while its con
s~truction is considered an Improvement

w tasted Time.

Alone in the dark and silent night,
When the heavy thought of vanished year,
When evil deeds come back to sight,
Aud good deeds rise with welcome cheer;
Alone with the sceptres of the past,
That come with the old years dying chime,
There gooms the shadow dark and vast
The shadow of Wasted Time.
The chances Of happiness cast away,
The opportunities never sought,
The good resolves that every day
Have died in the impotence OF thought.
The slow advance and the backward step,
| In the rugged path we have striven to climb;
How they turrow the brow and pale the lip,
When we talk of the Wasted Time.
What are we now? What had we been
Had we boarded time as the miscr's gold,
Striving our need to win. lcold
Through the summers heat and the winter
Shrinking from nought that the world could do;
Fearing nought but the touch Of crime:
Laboring, struggling all seasons through,
And knowing no Wasted Time?
Who shall recall the vanished years?
Who shall hold back this cbbing tide
That leaves US remorse, and shame. and tears,
And washed away all things beside?
Who shall give US the strength, that e'en now,
To leave forever this holiday rhyme,
To shake off this sloth from the heart and brow,
And battle with Wasted Time?
The years that pass come not again,
The things that die no life renew;
But e'en from the rust of this cankering chain
A golden truth is glimmering hrough;
That to him who learns from errors past,
And turns away with strength sublime,
And make each year undo the last,
There is no Wasted Time.
