the Inland Empire Of Jan. Sc:
We are not disposed to find fault with
While Pine, although We should be glad
# the times would LEI upa lIr,le. Money
IS so scarce that it is almost impossi bic
To find the color in II days hunt. We
can see no reason for this, n The bullion
shipments are larger than ever before,
and almost every day new smelling
works are starting up, and vast quanti-
ties of base metal bullion are being ship
ped Nearly every man in the district
has employment and yet nobody seems
TO have money. Thus far the season
has been most agreeable, there hardly
having been day this Winter on which
a man might not have worked ont of
doors without discomfort. Whoever
has hold of the strings of the purse, We
hope he will let them 60.

GEOLOGY AND THEoLoGY.-The A1dlaache tells the following story of Rev Dr. Taylor, the noted New Haven theologian: "Pro- found in metaphysics, but not versed in sci eDce, he was an obstinate defender of the general interpretation of the six days of ere ation in the book of Genesis, as against the idea of six long periods of time, which Prof. Sillman advocated. One day Prof. Silliman took pr. Taylor into the geological cabinet, and confronted him with several tribolites in rocks of the lower strata, and said: "Now, pr. Taylor, how did these once living animals get into this position, except as the rock gradually formed about them in one of those long, early periods7" Nonsense, nonsense, " answered Dr. Taylor; "do you think that God, wheI he made the rocks, couldn't have stirred in the things just as easy as cook stirs raisins in pudding or cakel' Prof Silliman was so disgnsted that, perfection of courtesy though he was, he put on his hat, without reply, walked straight out of the building, and did not say word tc Dr. Fay Tor for three weeks.

DEATH TO BUGs.-A correspondent sends the following recipe, which he has success fully used for years. It is certainly worth trying:
 Bugs on squash and cucumber vines how to destroy them-dissolve tablespoon ful of saltpetre in pailful of water, put one pint of this around each hill, shaping the earth so it will not spread much, and the thing Is done. Use more saltpetre if you can afford it-it is good for vegetable but death to ami nal life. The bugs burrow in the earth at night, and fail to rise in the morning It is also good to kill the grub in peach trees, only use twice as much, say quart or two to each tree. There was not yellow or bstered leaf on twelve or fifteen trees to which it was applied last season No danger of killing any vegetable with it. A concentrated solution applied to young beans made them grow won derfully.

Lynx Creek Mines.

The San Francisco Scieatifc Press, lately gave us favorable mention, thus:
 About nine miles eastwardly from Pres cott Arizona, is Lynx creek. This runs down a ravine, some twelve miles long, II north easterly direction, then turns to the east to disappear, after while, in the sand. At the head of the ravine, in granite formation, IS a network of veins. The principal ones run S. W. and N. E., dipping about 40 to 45' east erly. They are rich in free gold and sulphu- rets. While assays run at times very high, S60 is given as a fair average for free gold, and the sulphurets are said to run very much higher. Among the prominent mines here may be mentioned the Accidental, the Box Elder, Uncle Billy Pointers, etc. Uncle Billy is working an arastra for himself, and taking out $40 to the ton, without touching the sulphurets. Shelton, with his mule arastra, is getting out S275 to the ton The Acciden- tai has been thoroughly explored. Two shafts, about l50 feet apart, have been sunk, one GO and the other 73 feet A tunnel, l50 feet long, taps the ledge l50 feet deep. The vein has thickness of pay ore of 394 feet. There are, as is generally the case here, good walls on either side. There is an abundance of ore, sufficient to run 20-stamp mill which is to be erected, and MT. c. T. $. Curtis has just arrived here to arrange concerning this, and has given us the above items. There is an abundance of wood and water in the place A road about eighteen miles long, runs down the creek and then to Prescott, which can also be reached by a trail over the hills, which reduces the distance to some nine miles. Mir Curtis speaks most favorably o various districts, as the silver mines of Fur key creek, etc, etc. Notwithstanding it' location, with it's rich veins, low prices O labor, etc, Arizona still offers many induce ments to the miner. According to this gen tleman, the Indians are not so much feared there as outsiders think. If the people wer' given arms and the authority to use them there would be but little trouble from tht red skins.

AN APPENDAGE.--A well-known citizen of Dubuque, Iowa, has an appendage, something like tail, projecting from his back, just be- low the waist, and hifphysicians tell him it cannot be amputated without danger to his life. It commenced growing three years since, from protuberance which has existed since his birth. He is about forty years of age.

Cling to Those who Cling to You

There afc many friends of summer, Who are kind while flowers bloom; But when winter chills the blossoms They depart with the perfume. On the broad highway of action,
 Friends of worth are far and few So wheh one has proved bis friendship, Cling to him who clmgs to you. Do not harshly judge your neighbor, Do not deem his life untrue, fine makes DO great pretensions-
 Deeds are great though words are lew. Those who stand amid the tempest, Firm as when the skies are blue, Will be friends while life endureth, Cling to those who cling to you When you see a worthy brother
 Buffeting the stormy main, Lend helping hand iraternal,
 Till he reach the shore again. Don't desert the old and tried friend,
 When misfortunes come in view, For he needs friendships comforts;
 Cling to those who cling to you.

AWemau Rebellion In nInlue.

A singular and unfortunate scene oo-
Cured at the State House in Augusta,
Maine, on Wednesday. Mrs. Thurston,
ofPortland had caused notice of sale
of the State of Maine, its rights, appur-
tepances, 60, to be posted upon the
doors of the State House. and o little
before ten o'clock she assembled the
Speakers rostrum and proceeded to sell
the State to satisfy her unliqnidated
claim. Several bids were made by the
Senators and Representatives at fabul-
Gus sums, but finally the lady struck 1t
of to herself, and took her seat in the
Speakers chair. AS far as this went, all
was well; but the time for the opening
of the session had now arrived, and Mrs.
T. was politely requested to come down
from her position, but she declined to do
SO, saying that she had bought in the
State and must stay and keep her posi-
ton. Upon the Clerk ordering the mes
sengers to remove her al ct drmis, a scene
of great confusion ensued. She utterly
refused to be elected by force. The
members began to beg Mrs I. to go out
quietly, but she was deaf to their en-
treaties; she resisted tiercely, but was
finally persuaded to retire, and was last
seen in the State Library, looking up
legal authorities to sustain her claim.
The Argus says the affair was universal
" regretted by all as a very unfortunate
circumstance. because the subject of it
was q woman, and one who is deemed to
be demented upon one subject, al.
though perfectly sane upon all other
questions.

A Puzzle.

Here is question for young arthme-
ticians, aud others who like to unite an
. arithmetical knot now and then to try
: their wits upon: Two Arabs sat down
to dinner, and were aocosted by q
stranger, who requested TO join their
party, saying that he could get no pro.
visions to buy in that part of the coun-
try; if they would admit him to eat only
an equal share with themselves he woRld
, willingly pay them the whole. The
frugal meal consisted of eight small
loaves of bread, FIVE of which belonged
to one Of the Arabs and three to the
other. The stranger having eaten q
third part of the eight loaves, arose and
laid before them eight pieces of money,
ssying, "My friends, there 10 what
promised you; divide among you ac-
oordiDg to your rights" A little dis
pute srose respecting division of the
money, but reference being made to the
cadi he sdjudged seven pieces to the
owner Of the five loaves and only one
piece to him who owned the three loaves.
Yet the cadi decided Justly.
