Yosemite Travel.

The indications are that very largo num-
Der of visitors to the Valley this season will
60 from Stockton nv the way of the Coppero-
pole Railroad to Milton. and from thence to
the Big Trees, or to the Valley via Chinese
and Garrote. 1t is by far an easier route to
Yosemite than any other. the railroad run
ming nearer to it and there being less horse
back riding required than by the Mariposa Or
Coulterville routes. Besides it is cheaper
than the Others The Union says the cost to
and from Yo-Semite starting from San Fran
cisco is SAC hv the Central Pacific or Modesto
route, and S3S by the Jopperopols Railroad
via Garrote and Ea-din's Mill. This sea-
son will demonstrate the superiority of the
route through this county and will turn the
bulk of travel this way more surely than the
efforts of interested newspapers.
There may be expected large travel
throug;i Sonora, as il is on direct line be-
tween the two Interesting points. We can
say to tourists, that Sonora has good hotel &C.
commodations, equal to any in the State to
be found in the mountains and mining re-
gions, and the scenery through our county is
varied and interesting. BY visiting the Big
Trees first and then to Yosemite by way of
Sonora, cen be made the most satisfactory
tour, as our mountains and fields way into the
Summer, are green and fresh, presenting a
striking contrast to the dry and parched
plains, over which travel must be made TO
reach any of the other routes to the far famed
valley.

clerk who had waited on her accOmpa-

department she went to look for mourn

the clerk, who passed her over to his
successor with The request, "sho@ this
lady pocket Aanai;erchicis--two-ten."
AS she had still other articles to buy,
she was escorted from counter to com
ter, department to department, and eve
rywhere these cabalistic words, "two-
ten, were repeated by one clerk to an
other.
Struck by the peculiarity of this re-
frarn, she asked the proprietor as she

two-ten mean? L noticed that each
clerk said it to the other i'll your shop

The Devil of fSilence.

In almost every community there is
JUS such character GB the one de-
sui ed below; .n ..... ..f
Small was no ordinary william. He
was Il genius. Your ordinary hypocnto
talks cant. Small talks nothing. He
was tn coolest, the stendiest the most
rrominent boy ever born in Lewisburg.
He made no pretentions. He uttered
no professions. He went right on aud
lived life above reproach. Your yul-
gar lypocrite makes long prayers in
?rayer-mecting.-Small did nothing of
the sort. He sat still i'll prayer-meeting
and listened to the elders as modest
Young man should.--Your common
place bypocrtes boasts-Small never
alluded to himself, and thus n consumate
egotst gets credit for modesty. 1t is
but an indifferent trick for hypoc1ite
to make temperance speeches, DR.. Small
did not even belong to temperance so
ciety. But he never could be pc q I'D
to drink even so much as n cup Of tea.
There was something sublime in the qui-
ct voice with which he would say "Cold
water, if You please" to lady tempting
him with smoking coffee on a cold MORN
ing. There was no exultation, no sense
of merit in the act, Everything was
done in n modest and matter-of-courso
was beautiful to behold And his faco
was neutral tint. Neither face nor
voice expressed anything Only u keen
reauer Of character might have asked
whether all there was in that eye could
live contented with this cool, austere,
self-contained life; whether there would
not be somewhere volcanic eruption
But If there was any sea of molten lava
beneath, the world did not discover it.
