THE WHITE PINE SILVER MINES.

The rush to White Pine, on the Pacific
slope, seems undated. The Austin Re
oeitte, of late date, says that on that day
it noticed casually the following persons
and things moving in that direction =
Three Orleans, each hauling two wagons
loaded with lumber one mule team haul
ing mill machinery; q Concord wagon,
containing one man, two women and a
child; two men on horseback, carrying
rifles, and followed by wicked looking
bull dog ; three wagons, one containing
two men and a lot of household furniture,
another man and woman and cat and
the last the driver and packages of pro-
visions four mule teams, each hauling
two large wagons filled with barrels of IL
quor; little old man under blue blank
ct coat, mounted on tall mule a Con-
men, their goods and chattels seven
mule and OK teams, hauling lumber,
shingles and merchandise a cart drawn
by single yoke of antique oxen, contain
ing cooking stove, several pieces of "side
meat" and very long and heavy rifle
the sole attendant of which was the driver,
a tall, weather beaten, iron looking man
of apparently sixty years of age queer
looking vehicle, or German state carriage,
in which were many trunks and boxes, and
three persons "a man driving, an elderly
woman of consequence holding a cat on
her lap, and small Indian girl nine
wagons, drawn by oxen, horses and mules,
and filled with traps > thirteen men of all
nations on foot, packing their blankets and
bottles, and followed by fifteen Unlocking
hybrid dogs three wagons containing the
remnants of a California brewery sub
stantial covered wagon, in which were
three ladies of remarkably free ways and
speech, and one man driving; one of the
ladies, who was pretty, saw us looking at
her and said something to US that we could
not repeat five great strapping boys from
the 'ould sod,' afoot, with blankets, each
carrying bit of stick, and roaring with
fun. as they passed Mexicans mounted
and one driving one mule, packed
wagon with saloon and fixtures eleven
teams of twelve mules each, and hauling
two tirst-class wagons filled up with casks,
barrels, boxes and baskets, leaving strong
suspicion of spirits two men on horses
with grave bearing, and looking like
evangelical persons; five colored citizens
on'white and gray horses, dressed in fancy
blanket suits, smoking cigars and talking
louder than white folks; more wagons
six teams one wagon. And so the living
flood set in the direction of White Pine
until night closed the scene.

Trees Of California.

Carleton, one of our most reliable as we'll
as descriptive newspaper writer's thus
speaks in the Journal of the trees of Cali
fornia:
| 1t is five miles to the grove of big trees,
though there are trees all around us which
would be called big in the East. We
climb hill-our horses all the way plung-
ing their hoofs into graduated granite
hardly enough decomposed to be classed
as soil. A few minutes ride down the
southwestern slope of the hill, and we are
among the monarchs of the forest. They
do not seem to be at first sight very much
larger than the surrounding pines, and it
IS only by measurement and comparison
that we can comprehend their magnitude.
The great elm on Boston Common is be-
tween six and seven feet in diameter, but
here are six hundred trees, the smallest of
which is twelve feet in diameter, and the
largest thirty three The measurements
which give these diameters are taken one
yard from the ground. Ten feet up they
have diminished about one third, but above
that hold their dimensions to great height.
One which fell many years ago, from which
the bark has crumbled, is now thirty-three
feet in diameter, and you can walk two
hundred and fifty feet along that portion
the trunk which has not yet decayed. One
board from this trunk would be sufficient
to board up side of a meeting house !
We might hew from this single trunk the
hull of q ship of greater tonnage than the
Santa Maria in which Columbus crossed
the ocean one larger even than the May
1aooer of the Pilgrims Sit down and look
at the monster called the "Grizzly Great"
1t is ninety feet up to the first limb, which
is six feet in diameter! A limb one hun
dred and thirty feet from the ground has
been broken off thirty feet from the body
of the tree, and the fallen portion lies be-
fore us on the gound, eleven feet in circum-
ference, or nearly four feet in diameter =
There are thirteen in our party, and we all
ride into the burned cavity of one tree still
standing, and sit there upon our horses,
with room for six or eight more! We ride
through the hollow trunk of another fallen
tree thirty feet, as if it were q section of the
Thames Tunnel, or of tubular railway
bridge!

EEFEcTs OF MooNLIGHT.-There is pop
ular impression that the moon exerts n
marked influence on vegetation, and the
weather-seers are largely guided by the
changes of that luminary. Mr.. Coffin, in
his recent book, Our Neao Way Round tile
World, thus writes of its effects on man
within the tropics. He is in India 1.-THE
moon is at the full pouring its rays from
the zenith straight down upon us, with II
power which is almost as unbearable as that
of the sun at midday. There is no heat in
its rays, but they have great effect on the
brain. The blood rushes to the head, and
there is sense of fullness and pressure
which, although not attended by acute
pain, is exceedingly unpleasant. We find
it necessary to keep our umbrellas spread
at midnight as well as at midday. 1t is
dangerous to sleep in the moonlight in the
tropics. In this country we can see new
beauty in those words of the Psalmist, ex-
pressive of Gods care for those who love
him: The sun shall not smite thee by day
nor the moon by night"

Deouincey's Dinner,

l remember his coming to Gloucester
Place one stormy night. He remained
hour after hour in vain expectation that
the waters would assuage and the hurry
hurley cease. There was nothing for it but
that our visitor should remain all night
The professor ordered room to be pre-
pared for him, and they found each other
such good company that this accidental
detention was prolonged without further
difficulty for the greater part Of year.
During this visit some of his eccentricities
did not escape observation. For example,
he rarely appeared at the family meals, pre-:
ferring to dine in his own room, at his own
hour, not unfrequently turning night into
day. His tastes were very simple, though
little troublesome, at least to the servant
who prepared his repast. Coffee, boiled
rice and milk and piece of mutton from
the loin, were the materials that invariably
formed his dish. The cook, who had an
audience Of him daily, received her instruc-
tions in silent awe, quito overpowercd by
his manner; for had he been addressing a
Duchess he could scarcely have spoken
with more Difference. He would couch his
request in such terms as these:
"Owing to dyspepsia affecting my sys-
tenn, and the possibility OF any additional
arrangement of the stomach taking place
consequences intellectually distressing
would arise-so much so, indeed, as to in
crease nervous irritation and prevent me
from attending to matters of overwhelming
Importance If you do not remember to
cut the mutton in a diagonal, rather than a
longitudinal FORM" The cook-a Scotchwo-
man-had great reverence for Mr.. DeQuin-
cey as a man of genius; but after one of
these interviews her patience was pretty
well exhausted, and she would say: well,
| never heard the like o. that in a my days.
The bodies has an awful SIGHT of word. If
it had been my ain master that was want
ing his dinner he would ha ordered hale
tablefu' wi little mair than q waffo' his

A Romantic Love Story.

The Count dc st. Croix, belonging to one
of the noblest families in France, became
engaged, after q long courtship' to lady
his equal in position and fortune, and ia
nous for her beauty. Shortly after the hap
Ply day was appointedwhich was to render
two loving hearts one, the Count was ordered
Immediately to the seige of Sebastopol; so
he girded on his sabre and at the head of
his regiment marched to the battle field.
During the Counts absence it happened
that his beautiful affianced had the small
poX; after lowering between life and death,
she recovered but found her beauty HOPELESS
ly lost. The disease had assumed in her case
the most virulent character, and left her not
only disiigured, but scanned and SCARED to
such an extent that she became hide
Gus to herself, and resolved to pass the re-
mainder other days in the strictest seclu.
sion.
A year passed away, when one day the
Count, Immediately upon his return to
France, accompanied by his valet, presented
himself at the residence of his betrothed,
and solicited an interview. This was re-
fused. He, however, with the persistence
Of lover, pressed his suit, and finally the
lady made her appearance, closely muffled
in veil. At the sound of her voice the
Count rushed forward to embrace her, but
stepping aside she tremblingly told him
the story other sorrow, and burst into tears
A heavenly smile broke over the Counts
handsome features, as raising his hand
above, he EXCHANGED at is Gods work! l
am Blind" 1t was even so. When gal
lantly leading his regiment to attack, a can
non ball passed so closely to his eyes that,
while it left their expression unchanged,
and his countenance unmarked, it robbed
him forever of sight. 1t is almost unne
cessary to add that their marriage was
shortly after solemnized.
1t is said that, at this day, may often be
seen at the Emperor's receptions an officer
leaning upon the arm of lady closely
yelled, and they seem to be attracted to the
spot by their love of music.

A correspondent writes as follows
"The Caspian Sea, for two days in flames,
presented to our eyes a complete sea of fire.
This sea conceals in its depths numerous
fountains of naphtha, which often betray
themselves by casting forth flames. This
time the naphtha burst to the surface of
the sea in immense quantities, forming for
miles burning sea. A quantity of fish
has been thus DESTROYED

LOOKING BACK.

Have you forgotten the breezy downs
Where the lights aud shadows playf
Aud the purple haze of the distant hills
Lying westward far away
How the tinklng chime of tho shcop-bclls came
Der the slopes ofthe thymy turf
And the wind in the forest trees below
Made sound like ocean surf?
Have you forgotten the winding road
All bathed in the dreamy light,
That shines ON an autumn afternoon,
When the days are calm and bright?
When the florid richness of summers glow
Had Faded from earth and sky
And the year grew old with gracious SMILE
Life saint prepared to die?
Have you forgotten the vinc-wrcathcd porch
or the little cottage door?
And the palniy days of your happy youth
The days that return no more?
When the rustling leaves of the garden flowers
Were hushed by the moonbeam's spell:
And you fingered to whisper those parting word,
That have rememb cred well
Have yuu forgotten? l still believe
You think of that pleasant past;
Ana your heart turns back to the quiet scenes
Unchanged since you saw them last
God grant that the close of vour restless life
Grow calm ere its wanderings cease :;
And the better feelings of earlier years
Return like the voice of peace.

WHAT is TO BE DONE IN HEAvEN.-The
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher ridicules the
popular idea that the inmates of heaven do
nothing but stand round great white
throne, with harps in their hands and sing
psalms. Mr.. Beecher, it seems to us, has
the right of the matter. There is no scrip
tural ground for limiting the activities and
employmcnts of immortal beings TO mo-
notonous physical exercise and it is a
wonder that the absurdity of doing so had
not been perceived long ago. 1t is much
more sensible to suppose that people in the
other life enjoy social and intellectual de.
lights, and have varying occupations, ac-
cording to their respective capacities SINH
lar to those which are enjoyed by the good
on earth, only more perfect in quality and
degree. Death takes from us nothing but
the body of flesh and blood, leaving the
constitution and requirements of our soul
without radical change. Whatever, above
mere corPoreal pleasures rightfully render
us happy here will likewise render us hap
Ply there; and as no man, however pious,
would like to spend his whole life on earth
in singing, it is not likely he will be COM
PEELED to do it hereafter.-N. Y. SIN.
