This claim is located near Empire mills,
about two miles west of Auburn, and was dis

the above amount The claim has been sold
within the present week to Grass Valley COM

The Petersburg Gazette discussing

TINT the first thing that should be done is
Tor lie Legislature, when it meets TO
adopt the FLICK amendment and submit
it to the people at special election in the
Spring The Gazette suggests further
that ut the time Of submitting the
amendment the question whether con-
ventlon shall be called he also submitted.

is to end, the sooner all the Fgal steps LOT
It arc taken the better. II will be better

in April or May, and Of course it would
be ratified. But no reimbursement by
Convention is possible under seven months
from the time the Legislature proposes
it. Then the difference In the ex-
pense is Z very important consideration.
The ratification Of the Amendment would
cost almost nothing what the Convention
would cost, in direct expenses and in the
new legislation rendered necessary BY 1t,
can hardly be estimated. FiNy or seven
tyifye thousand dollars would pay the
expenses of the Convention. How much
1t would cost to get up new system Of
legislation to correspond with revised
Constitution, can hardly be fOrcsccn.
When the amendment Is ratified, there
will be no need Of holding conventions.

We do not expect the Democratic
managers to pay much attention to our
views on this question. We arc aware it

they have the reins, they have also the
responsibility. We suggest these consider

New trees we're therefore planted, and their

attention that has produced astonishing
results, when the natural disadvantages

are planted in loan that has been prev

THE PLOw, LOOM AND ANVIL.

The camp has had its day Of song;
The sword, the bsyonst, the plume,

The trainings Of the workshop yield
More heroes true than war has known.

why Do We Oil Our whetstsnes?

We oil our whetstones for several reas
ons. The first is that almost all stones,
unless oiled. become glazed or FURNISHED
on the surface. so that they NO longer
abrade the metal. The second reason is
that most stones, after being oiled, give a
finer edge than they do in dry or mere
ly wet state The pores of the stone be-
come in measure filed up, and while the
action is rendered continuous. It's eharac-

HAPPY THOUGHTS.

dAf Il Il f1OOU I1 ..
If Manhood's waves have borne our bark
For distant from the shore,
Whose pleasant scenes were dear to us
When life its blossoms bore
IT'S sweet when we come back again,
To find each spot we knew,
Decked in the self-same joyous grab
Our youth around it threw.
IfTime hath laid its hand upon
The things about our home,
And DER them all the mournful shade
Of deep, sad change hath come
IT'S sweet to know that in our breasts
The self-same heart beats on,
And that while change rules all without,
Within we're chilled by none.
Yet swester than all this it is
To meet, when we are men,
The friend We parted when in youth,
The self-same now as then
To feel that he brings back, through mists
By time and absence cast,
The light of that same kindness
That warmed the bilssful pas.
The roses that With ganish bloom,
In pleasures garden spring,
Have each in its painted leaves,
Some insect that will sting
And SO It's doubly sweet for us,
Amid life's heartiess joys,
To catch The blush and fragrance back,
OF flowers we culled when boys.
