Gems Of Worth from the Pen of Think

Love is like a hunter, who cares not
tor the game when once caught, which
he may have pursued with the most
intense and brcathless cagcrncss.
love is stronger i'll pursuit; friend
ship in possession.
The moral and apprchcnsivc nature
OF girls is more rapidly developed
than tho mind of boys, MS satellites
move quicker than planets, or as flow
ers bloom sooner i'll valleys than on
mountains.
The fircsido is school of infinite
Importance it is important because
it is universal, and because the edu-
cation it bestows, being woven in the
woof of childhood, gives form and
color to The whole texture of life.
Were it given to the organic eye to
SEQ into the mind of others, we should
judge man nue., moro surely from
what he dreams than from what he
thinks ; there is will in the thought,
there is none in the dream.
When We sec two Young lovers
kneeling at the altar, the hearts wish
is that they may resemble the married
in heaven, who, according to Sweden.
burg's vision, always melt into one
angel.
1t is the most momentous question
a woman is ever called on to decide.
whether tho faults of the man she
love will drag her down, or whether
she is competent to be his earthly re-
dccmer.
Only our cradle songs, only those
old cradle songs, sounding back on the
memory, sootho the sorrowful soul to
slumber when it has wept itself hot
and fcverish.

BY tho latest advices from Madrid
1T appears that tho Regent Serrano
and majority of his Cabinet have
become convinced that tho wisest and
and best thing to do is to accent th;a
offer, but are rather afraid to venture
on concluding the bargain before the
Spanish people undeceived and in.
structed as the real state of affairs in
Cuba. But q great point has been
gained by the government oonsentina
to negotiate for the independence Of +
the island. The first and most form;.
dable barrier is broken down. There
seems to DO little doubt now that tho
Independence of Cuba, through tho
prudent and earnest interposition Of
the United States, will be conceded
let us hope this may be accomplished
soon and before that beautiful and
fruitful island becomes devastated
10 prolong the war, under the present
state of things and the prospect of
settlement, would be shedding blood
nsse,lossly and rccklessly.-N. Y. Her.

In railroad car the seats were all

by pleasant looking Irishman and
at one of the stations couple of
evidently well bred and intelligent
young ladies came to procure seats,
but seeing no vacant ones were about
going into back car, when Patrick
rose hastily and offered them his seat
with evident pleasure. "But you
will have no seat for YOURSELF" res
ponded ono of the young ladies with
smile, hesitating, with true polite
ness, as to accepting it. "Never ye

and Weighing One Hundred and Six
Pounds.
From tho San Francisco Herald, 22I ult. I
A nugget of gold was received yes.
tcrday morning by A. #. Parrish e.
Co., weighing LOG pounds, being al.
most, if not quite, the largest ever
taken out in this State, and within a
few. pounds of any ever found in
modern gold digging. 1t is valued
for about $4,000. In the same find
367 65-l00 ounces we're secured in
smaller quantities, from 20 to rs
ounces each, and also one cake of fine
gold retortcd, weighing about l,lsob
ounces, all of which arc now in pos.
session of Mr.. Parrish. This extra
ordinary pile, $50, 1900, was obtained
in ono day by two meu from the M,u-
umcntal Quartz Mine in Sierra Duttes.
Sierra comfy, owned by W. \. Far
rish and others. William Parrish
writes that in two days hc would send
as much more. The vein varies from
one to three feet, and is lillod with de.
composed quartz. The gold is OBJ
tanned by sluicirg, using quicksilver
to catch the fine particles. The trail
lngs only 60 through nrastra. The
Sierra Buttcs and the Independence
mine are located on the same noun.
tain, 1t is only two months since
Nlessrs. Parrish commenced work on
this mine, and they have got in fow
feet. a weck ago they sent down
$4,000 as the result Of two mems la
Dor for eight or nine weeks.
From the San Francisco Times.
The gold nugget taken last week
out Of the Monumental Quartz Com
pany's claim, in Sierra County. and
weighing l06 pounds, is not, as stated
by the Bu|lrtin, either "almost the
largest ever taken out in the State"
or "withn few pounds of the larg
est ever found in modern gold min.
irg." y brief account of the laro-
est Nuggets whose discovery is regard
cd will show that while the Monumen.
tai one is an extremely satisfactory
"hnd," it cannot take rank among the
iirst class nuggets. in l73O piece
of gold weighing sixty pounds, troy,
was found near la Paz, in Peru. In
1910 nugget weighing thirty-scvcn
pounds, troy, wos found in Caba,rus
County, North Carolina. A mass
weighing ninety seven pounds, troy,
was discovered in Ilatouch, a district
of the Southern Urul, in 1912. The
Blanch Barl;ly nugget, found in Aus
tralia, weighed ll6 lbs. 3 dwts., troy.
Another mass weighing III pounds,
troy, was found in 1851 in the same
country, and also nugget of los
pounds. The "Welcome Nugget"
found in Ballarat, 1853, weighed
2,o2o ounces, or l6S pounds, troy
Another nugget, weighing = pounds
was found i'll Australia few mouths
ago. The largest nugget ever found
in California, 30 far as we arc aware.
was 60 pounds weight, and several
have been averaging from twenty or
thirty up to hundred pounds. These
large masses have been almost inva-
rlably found in dcposits'of similar
character to that in which the Monu.
mental claim is situated, and we shall
not bo surprised to hear that there are
more large Jumps where the hundred.

TIE BHIrIsm PREss ON CorroN.-
The British press continues to be very
much exercised about the supply of
cotton. Every day or two there arc
leading articles and any amount of
correspondence on tho subject, and
there is hardly any conceivable plan
Tor Increasing the production of the
raw material that is not discussed =
The insufficient supply is termed n
calamity, and is said to be owing to
an increase of tho consuming power
at time when tho raw material is
decreasing. a writer in the London
Times takes very sensible view of
the matter when he argues that tho
true way to increase tho production OF
cotton IS for the manufacturers and
capitalists Of England to cooperate
with the grower. That is, We suppose,
to employ their capital in connection
with tho labor of tho planters in or
der to stimulate a growth. This wri-
ter remarks, too, that it would be folly
for the American planters to grow
five millions of bales ut double the
expense Of land and labor when the
same profit can be realized from half
that amount. But where are the En-
gllsh manufacturers and capitalists to
use their money in cooperation with
the growers? India and other coun
tries have been tried, and vast
amount of capital has been sunk in
tho experiment. There is, however,
one place in tho world where raising
cotton is not an uncertain experiment
and where planting never fails to be
successful and profitable. In our
Southern States there is a vast area
of cotton lands yet uncultivatcd. II
there were capital and labor enough,
ten millions Of bales or more could
be raised. This is the country, then
for the British to invest in if they
would get an ample supply of cotton
and handsome roturn for their capi.

The morning and evening Radca

sqnarely upon this question, receiving he
hearty snrn'rt of the City Radical pa

The revulsion Of the populr scnn-
m"nt on this question, which has been
made thoroughly manifest in the recent

itself 80 plainly in Pennsylvania and

modify their extreme views. TO save
their party from defeat IN the approach
ing elections, they are willing to 90
back on their negro friends. and even
desert prominent Official, whose cleo
ton they advocated on the ground that

only way for getting air in the Shaft
