PRospRcroRs.-L,ast Sat

ARTISTIC PRosrKcroRs.-Last Sat
urday afternoon, four Of the pretty
ladies Of the Sangalli ballet troupe, Al
Virginia, being naturally impressed
with the opinion that most Of the stones
and rocks about there must contain
more or less gold and silver, took the
opportunity to 60 out prospecting
They climbed the steep mountain side
aud along the groupings Of the great
ComstocE. The rough rocks and sage
brush were terribly destructive to their
nice little shoes, but they were picking
up gold and silver ore. and what cared
they for expenses. They found lots of
promising indications, and somewhere
above the Ophir dump, gold appeared
in almost every piece Of stone they
found. One big lump Of rock seemed
especially rich. and on breaking it
with IN old pick they found, the bright
golden metal showed itself in exceed
lug abundance. The little dears were
greatly excited over their good luck
and fairly shouted for joy. They could
hardly believe their own eyes, so they
asked a gray shirted. sober sided old
miner, who was passing, if this was
really all gold. "Bless you. yes"
said he. looking rs serious and wise rs
an owl; "gold? yes, ladies, the finest
kind of gold" This was assurance
enough, so they eagerly gathered up
all the glittering stuff they could carry,
and loaded like pack mules with 1t they
went home to their residence. Divid-
ing their prize into n equal allotments
rs possible, they gieehIlly called In 4
gentleman friend to view the treasure.
Now, this man was a good Judge OF
ore, and being also a truthful man, he
was obliged to sadden their dear hearts
BY informing them that the glittering
metal was nothing but iron sulphurets,
and no gold at all-that their whole
pile wasn't worth two bits. Oh. what
u crusher upon their golden hopes.
They looked at their torn boots and
scratched hands, and could hardly help
shedding 4 few tears of diSappoint-
ment. They are wiser prospectors
HON than they used to be and believe
more firmly than e in the old adage
Of "all that glitters is not gold"
HERNAN-TmE DEvIL.-The Sacra-
menro Record of last Friday thus
speaks Of the great magician shortly
to appear at Piper's Opera House 4:
Hermann. the chief Of maglcians,
gave another exhibition at the Metro
politan last evening. We were there,
as also 4 sharper. The sharper watched
him closely. and at the conclusion of
every trick thought loudly 'the devil!."
The audience, a very fine house, con-
Cured that the tricks were cleverly
done. On the home stretch he per-
formed, by request, the coin trick.
our sharp critic watched him in this
most intently, and finally weakened
when he saw him pass along the dress
circle and pick up coin ut random
where the ring could not have been
heard a moment before"
