\ GOLDEN ISLAND IN VERMONT.

A GOLDEN ISLAND IN VERMONT.
-There is some stir in Winsor
county, Vermont, on the subject Of
gold mining, occasioned, as the Bur-
lington free Press explains, by the
following circumstances: F..
An island has been formed at one
point in the White river, by the
yearly wash of mud brought down
from the hilIsides for miles by the
rapid stream. It is about fifteen
acres, and has for years been cult
waited and used as pasture, with
rgood profit to its owners. It once
formed part of the property of the
late Merrick Gay. Last summer a
man named Saltry, an Englishman
by birth, as we are told, well inform
ed, we'll educated in mining and
metallurgy, and having had practi-
cal experience in the California gold
regions, got his eye on the island,
and having made what investigation
he desired, leased it of the present
owner for a small sum, $50 for the
first year, and 800 year thereaf-
ter, with some privileges and addi-
lions, as we are informed. Before
long it was noised abroad that Mr..
Saltry was finding gold in paying
proportions on the island, and he
was not long without plenty Of offers
for rights to dig, the owner of the
land himself paying $500 for one.
Mr.. Saltry does not intend to dig
himself, but to let out the whole ter
ritory in small tracts. and probably
as soon as spring comes the island
will be all worked over. The soil
is black sand, in which grains of
gold of more or less fneness can be
seen with the eye. A quantity of
gold washed out by Mr.. .Saltry and
sent to New York for assay gave
the value of the ore at 81, $3.50 to the
ton. !. "

How To LIVE ON $1,2O0A YEAR.
A correspondent Of the New York
Times tells how he does it, thus:
Il have for the past two years
kept house with a wife, three chill
dren and two servants, on an income
Of less than $1,000 per annum, and,
from present appearances, shall do it
again this year. Ny plan is this:
| spend what [ need to live we'll,
keeping monthly account with the
grocer, butcher, etc, j; I let the bills
accumulate for a period of say two
months, and at this time the treas
ury is empty and the bills consider
able. Then, and this is grand
idea, my wife collects the bills and
goes, with tears in her eyes, to her
father, pleads poverty and talks the
old man out Of check and the cri-
sis is met. The next time, to give
him a rest, one of the inevitable we'll
off brother-in-laws is called in requi-
sition. This, you see, only happens
twice year to each, and it don't
hurt them much, so we swing along.
The above is the only feasible plan
1 see, and is, l know, the most COM
mon way. No young man, in my
opinion, has a right to marry unless
his fatherin-law keeps bank &C.
count, and unless the marriage brings
him couple, at least, of moneyed
brothers-in-law."

A day or two since a gushing
young man Of Des Moines received
by an unknown messenger a present
a stuffed pigeon. 1t was a beau
tiful specimen Of taxidermy and
pleased the recipient immensely.
He supposed it was the gift Of
charming young lady to whom he
had been particularly attentive, and,
overjoyed at the thought, he imme-
.diately sat down and indited ten
der epistlc to her, thanking her for
the present and making many touch
ing illusions to the dove and what
lit symbolized. The pigeon was
placed on bracket in his place of
business, and was much admired.
In short time, however, it was no.
ticed that the outspreading wings of
the bird were beginning to droop;
then a villainous odor became appa-
rent, and then the emblem Of love
was kicked out Of doors-aIl because
some graceless wag had sent the
youth frozen pigeon instead Of
stuffed one, and as soon as it thaw-
ed It's antiquity became odorously
apparent. Taxidermy is at dis
count in that quarter. -Zoa0a State

On Monday Of this week we were
called on by gentleman residing near
Wesley chapel who inquired who our cor
respondent, Bristol, from Bristol, was. He
8 i'll that there had been no rowdyism at
Wesley chapel and that our correspondent
had been misinformed ia relation to it.
Since receiving this information we have
received private note from Bristol say
ing he had been informed by Mr----,
who resides near Wesley chapel, that
rowdyism had ceased since the rowdies
found out that there was law against it.
What the fact9 have been and are we do
not know. We hope and trust that all
our correspondents will be truthful and
reliable in all the items OF news they fur
nish for publication. We try to make it a
rule, in news we furnish, if there is doubt
Of it's truth, to delay its publication till
we Are satisfied Of its truth. The OBJ
servance Of Il like rule would be advisable
for correspondents
P.S. Since writing the above we have
received a communication from G. H.
Ward in relation to what was said by our
correspondent, Bristol, about rowdyism
at Wesley chapel. 1t would seem that
our correspondent must have been misin-
formed. Such things will sometimes
hagpen but " hope not often. 1t is but
justice to the people of Souoh Bristol and
the meetings at Wesley chapel that the
truth should be published.

WoMAN's RIGHTS IN DILEMMA. Mrs

were laid at 500, Of course Mrs. Stanton
faced tho music and Judgment was rendered
against her, paid it like a man! But she
did not. Her counsel pleaded that she was

was liable Mrs Stanton accepted the plea,
and for tho sake of 500 sneaked out OF
"Wonan's Rights" and let the principles OF
the cause go to the 'demnition bow-wows."
How much better If she had suffered for the

bear the obligations of q man. There is room
yet for the third sex.-State Journal. IS ~, (.
We differ from the State Journal in relation
to the propriety of Mrs. Stanton's pleading
that she was married woman and that hel

no part in making the laws we think Mrs
Stanton was justified in showing In Court
Of Justice the injustice the laws do to

DOu,a he too Sensitive,

Here is a short article we find float
ing around on the unknown sea of
journalism, that many men should
paste in their hats and ladies on their
bonnets-if room can be found on
the little duck of thing" These
people, liable to quick emotions, with
sense but not reason, showing their
nature in their countenance, and oft
en- marring repose and friendship by
unwarrantcd suspicion. and found in
all our cities. Let them read and
profit by this;
There are some people, yes, many
people, always looking out for sights,
They cannot carry on the daily lntor-
course of the family without some
oficnse is designed. They are as
touchy as hair triggers. If they meet
an acquaintance. in the street who
happens to be prcoccupied with busi-
ness, they attribute his abstraction in
some mode personal to themselves,
and take umbragc accordingly. They
lay on Others the fact of their irrita-
Lility. A fit of indigestion makes
them see impertincnce in every one
they come in contact with. Innocent
persons who never dreamed of giving
offensc are astonished to find some
unfortunate word or momentary taci-
turnity mistaken for an insult To
say the least, the habit is unfortunate.
1t is far wiser to take the more Chart
able view of our fellow beings, aud
not suppose u slight is intended unless
the neglect is open and direct. After
all, too, life takes its hues in a great
degree from the color Of our mind
If We are frank and generous, the
world treats us kindly. II, on the
contrary, we are suspicious, men learn
to be cold and cautious 70 us. Let a
person get the reputation of being
touchy, and everybody is under more
or less constraint, and in this way the
chances of an imaginary ofcnsc arc
vastly increased" "
