THE English food riots, it is feared,
are the prelude to general European cry
for bread during the approaching Win
ter. The crops are short and industry
is p~aralyzed. The consequence is that
the poor suffer for want OF employment,
and with q rising market for oil articles
of consumption, there is likely to be
much distress and suffering. In times
Of ordinary business prosperity the
short crops in the west of Europe would
not occasion any pressing difficulties.
Supplies could be obtained from the
United States and Russia, where the
crops are an average. But the want Of
employment %aggravates the crop def
ciencies and increases the general suf-
fering. The effects will be more severe
ly felt in England and France, and this
first wall Of distress across the Atlantic
is calculated to awaken American SYM
patty for what may be q sorrowful VIM
ter in the Old World.

BARRIERS will have to look out for
their business, as the inroads machinery
is making are rpaid. The adaptation Of
machinery to the act of brushing hair
was chronicled some time since, but .

so far, that he has a machine in opera.
ton for cutting hair. A notice Of the
working of the machine declares that
the sensations produced by its revolu-
tons around the head are said to be
very agreeable. We should think, how
ever, that to q ervou person the APP
prehensions for the safety of the ears
and nose would be anything but agreea-
BILE, Notwithstanding the fact, announ-
ced by the inventor, that the operator,
by turning a screw, can adjust the cut
ting blade sc as to take off just the
quantity of hair desired"

THANKSGIVING.

In accordance with time-honored GUS
tom, and the proclamation of President
johnson, tomorrow will be observed
throughout the United States, and also
in Gold Hill, as a day of thanksgiving
and prayer. Let US give thanks to the
great Ruler Of the universe, that we are
still alive and are blessed with plenty
of food to eat and clothes to wear. Let
us give thanks that the horrors Of civil
war have passed away. Let US give
thanks that amid oil the sterile scenes
surrounding, we are yet enabled to en-
Joy life, and that the want and suffer
ings of poverty are so little known
among US. Let US give thanks for the
inestimable treasures Of health, pure
air and peaceful sleep. And for all
these aud much more, let US pray God
to give us truly thankfulhearts and con-
tented minds, that we may duly appre-
ciate the manifold blessings he has be-
slowed so lavishly upon us. Gathered
about the social table, on the morrow,
with home friends andthose with whom
we most would assimilate, sitting by
our side, while we partake of the good
things placed before US, We must not
forget tho poor and needy, and those
who imagine they have nothing to be
thankful for. Let US feast and be hap
Ply while we can, for we know not how
soon adversely and sorrow may come to
US, unbidden, unwelcome guests.

REDUCTION OF ARaENTIFERoUs GALENA
OREs.-The process for the reduction OF
the ores from the Calzada mine, New
Mexico, is smelling or liquifying By
heat, and this is effected by %intermixing
charcoal with the ore and making them
burn together in the furnace under q
strong blast. The blast is given by o
strong bellows, or what is better q Nc
Kenzie blower, and the furnace is built
tall and narrow, like the common blast
furnace. Though the greater part Of
tho ore can very we'll be smelted in the
reyerberatory furnace the cupola or blast
furnace is necessary for the reduction of
the rebellious or refractory ores as we'll
as the Stag from reverbatory. The ex-
penses Of dressing and smelling these
ores amount to about twelve dollars per
ton, and the total expenses of both
mining and smelling to about twenty
dollars. The wages of laborers are
much lower in New Mexico than in CAL
ifornia and Nevada, therefore thirty dol
lars would not be too much to estimate
the cost here. The ore Of the Calzada
mine Is J an Argentiferous galena Of a
blue black color, but sometimes green
ish, from the admixture Of green car
Donate of copper, and at othors grayish
from the performance of sulphuret in
silver.

NATIVE SpoRTs.-Yesterday afternoon,
while q light rain was falling, we stop
ped for o few moments to observe an
animated game of cards by Indians.
The players were seated upon the
ground Of q vacant lot, and there was a
blanket spread between them upon
which the stakes laid and the cards
were dealt. Other Indians, men, wo-
men, and children, were sitting or
standing, watching the game with in
terest. It was "poker," and, us for as
we could judge, it was "played up to
the handle" One of the players had
on a red flannel shirt, and the other q
gray. There were about $23 in silver
in front of Gray, and perhaps Sill in the
same coin in front Of Red. We saw
one-and the last-hand played. Gray
dealt; Red passed; Gray "%chipped;"
Red raised him So 80; Gray "saw" him
and went him S. better; this suited Red,
who "saw" it, and came back better
to the extent of his bank-about $40.
This seemed to be the very play for
Grayshirt, who. rolled his pile to the
center. Here was q dilemma for Red
shirt, who needed SIS for q "call." He
scratched his head as if to quicken
thought. A general talk ensued in
which the women of the party did not
take back seats. One little fat squaw,
who appeared to be the particular fancy
of Redshirt, talked with great vehe-
mence as she laid her hand first upon
his shirt, then his hat, and then his
pantaloons. He was well dressed, and
it was apparent that the brave little
squaw advised q " raise upon Gray
shirt, but his nerve was not equal to
tho occasion. The players talked for o
few minutes; there was . sharp examin-
alton of the shirt and hat by the squaws
Of the Grayshirt family; and finally
those articles were laid upon tho blank
ct, and q I" calIr was made upon Gray
shirt, who incontinently displayed o
g fulln hand. There vas o general
laugh, in which none was moro hearty
than Redshirt, as he walked off bare
headed aud bare backed.-Reese River

INLAND

Whatever the navigable resources Of
Nevada might have been a few thousand
years ago, when according to the theory
of some, the Great American basin con-
tanned broad blue seas, and the now
sterile alkali plains were covered with
navigable waters, we cannot at present
boast of much in that line. The four
streams We claim as the rivers of Neva-
da, viz the Walker, Carson, Truckee,
and Humboldt, are limited in their nav
igable availability to fleets of irewood,
and navies of saw-logs. Even their
broad sinks, although bodies Of water
numerous miles in extent, are not situa-
ted where they could be brought into
practical use for shipping purposes.
The Colorado, touching our extreme
southeastern border, is our only re-
source in that line, and the day is not
far distant when that portion OF our
State will be supplied with all requisite
articles in the way of mining and mill.
ing machinery, goods, merchandise, pro-
visions, etc., by mean Of steamers as
cending the Colorado. Already some
of the monied men of San Francisco are
projecting q line of steamers, by means
of which, goods can be transported up
the Colorado, to supply not only the
southern portion of Nevada, but Utah,
the river being considered navigable as
far as Callville, some six hundred miles
from its mouth, by this means supply
ing Utah at half the rates of freight
which must be charged by tho railroad.
The river is n~avigable during the entire
year, and the estimated cost Of the
boats and other expenses of starting the
line is $4,000. Thus, through the
mediumship of a short railroad between
Salt Lake City and Callville, brother
Brigham, and his sanity people a re-
ceive all requisite outside supplies and
necessities, with the utmost facility, in

The attempted importation some time
ago, of coolies from Cuba, at New Or
leans, was a failure. This failure re-
suited, it is said, from other reasons
than any connected with the %interposi-
ton of the Government. Tho time
chosen was not opportune for negro
labor, which has the preference, is offer
ing in Louisiana to al extent beyondth
amount Of capital at command for its
employment. Aside from this, the
Asiatics, after being escorted from the
ship to the plantation, saw fit to avail
themselves of their liberty. The New
Orleans Republican says, " no persuasion

WET SEASON PREDIcrED.-Iti is said
by some old Californians, says the Alta,
who have relatives in Mexico, that when
a rainy season their rainy season comes
in our Summer) there is unusually wet
it is always followed by avery wet Win
ter in California, and o very dry Sum-
mer there is succeeded by n dry Winter
here. We should like to have some
facts to support this theory, which, il it
could be established, would be of i'm
mense Importance to this State. Last
Summer was unusually wet in Western
Mexico, and if the rule be correct we
shall, have q wet Winter.

SOMETHING FOR UNMARRIED MEN TO
READ.-The Cleveland Leader, in an
elaborate article headed "What kind of
a man is attractive to a woman?" thus
sensibly answers the question:
"The answer can be given in q few
words: God has so made the sexes that
women, like children, cling to men; lean
upon them for protection, care and love;
look up to them as though they were
superior in mind and body. They make
them the suns of their system, and they
and their children revolve around them.
Men are gods if they but knew it, and
women burning incense at their shrines.
Women, therefore, who have good minds
aud pure hearts, want men to lean upon.
Think of their reverencing q drunkard,
a liar, q fool, or o libertine. If a man
would have q woman to do him homage,
be must be manly in every sense; q truo
gentleman, not after the Chesterfield
school, bnt polite because his heart is
full of kindness to all n who treats
her with respect, even Difference, be-
cause she is woman /; who never conde-
scends to say silly things to herr who
brings her up to his level if his mind is
above hers; who is never over anxious
to please, but always anxious to do
right; who has no time to be frivolous
with her; always digni6ed in speech and
act; who never spends too much upon
her; never yields to temptation, even If
she puts it in her way; who is ambitious
to make his mark in the world whether
she encourages him or not; who is
never familiar with her to the extent of
being an adopted brother or cousin ;
who is not over careful about dress ;
always pleasant and c%onsiderate, but
always keeping his place of the man,
the head, and losing it. Such
department with noble principles, a
good mind, energy and industry, will
win any woman in the land who is worth
the winning,
