GOLDEN DELUsIoN.-The Grass Val
lev Republican of Sunday gives the fol-
lowing: For several days past a quiet
but somewhat ardent individual has
been Offering the banks Of this place a
somewhat new and novel article in the
gold line, which bids fair to work a
revolution In the process of extracting
tho precious metal. He takes q piece
of granite, sandstone, periphery, or any
kind of rock, burns It thoroughly IN
the fire, submits It to q blower for a
short time, till he Is satisfied that the
foreign matter is all blown out, and
then goes to the bank and offers 1t for
sale. Sometimes white clay Is found,
which he prepares in the form Of ANAL
gamated gold, but which no IL can
discover to be gold but himself. Thus
far the obtuse bankers have failed to
detect q single scab Of the precious
metal and have declined purchasing,
but the Industrious miner, not discour.
aged. goes out and prepares another
lot, but with the same result. Should
he finally succeed in extracting gold
from the country rock Of our noun
tains, he will not only beat the Chi
nese, but confer a favor on thousands
who can scarcely find go~ld-bearing
quartz enough to supply their utmost
needs. The man Is evidently sound on
the gold question, II on nothing else.
Long may he wave!

notes do not resemble very closely the
sounds Of the human voice, but are
still far from being unmusical. From
accounts Of the Hartford dog he il In
no manner superior to Bonsy In musi'

useful and entertaining actions, and
considers him invaluable. His singing

Last night, about midnight, q crazy,
drunken man, entered the Jackson
House, with a Henry rifle in'his hand,
and approached Jackson In a threaten
ing manner. Jackson seized the gun
by the muzzle and q struggle took
Mace between the two for the posses
sion of the gun. Jackson forced him
out on the sidewalk, and started for as
slstance, there being no II passing
along the street ut the time. As soon
"a the man was released he fed down
Main street, and soon after several
shots were heard. We have since
ascertained that several shots were
fired into Mrs. Kelly's house about
that time. The man Bob was soon
after arrested and lodged in jail.
Yesterday we made an examination
of the leading mines OF Treasure Hill,
and found a change for the better IN
many Of them. In company with Prof..
Clayton we examined the mines OF the

Aetresses' Husbnnds.

Probably no other women have ever
suffered so much from the perfidy OF
man as those of that much abused pro-
fess,on-the theatrical. Rich perhaps
In fame, In money, In beauty, In tai
ent-poor, indeed, have they been In

sighted ones have deserved the happi-
ness they sought and never found:
The noblest Of actresses. mothers,
and wives, Adelaide Ristori, brought
to this country a handsome, good-for-
nothing husband, who, during her alb
sence at the theatre, so conducted him
self at the windows, for the captiva-
ton Of opposite boarding house wo,,
men, that an outraged husband had
him arrested for the most shameful
aud disgusting practices. Many q
time, late Mt night, after her wonder
full personation Of Marie Antoinette or
Elizabeth, l have seen her going home
with a servant as escort-her son and
daughter Mt some party-the Marquis
always away till all hours. She would
sit alone over her little supper. and
90. weary In body and soul to her bed,
while those her talents supported pur-
sued their own pleasure.
One of the best actresses America
over produced toiled year after year at

The WORLD TO STor IN ls73.-The
Secord Adyentists are at 1t again. AT
a convention held in Rochester they
have definitely settled the time for the
total destruction Of the world. 1t Is to
take place In 1873. DR.. Barbour, who
has prepared several charts from which
he has lectured extensively Of late,
from Boston to Rochester, on the COM
Ing of Christ In 1873. made q speech on
the signs Of the times, and edited arti-
clos In several English and American
magazines, quarterlles and newspapers
to show the enormous proportions OF
the Commune, Its rapid growth tho
past year and its present threatening
aspect. There were, he said, 5000 900
members in this country and millions
In Europe. Wendell Phillips was a
member, and said In his recent lecture
In Music Hall, Boston, that Europe
was resting on a volcano that threat
ened the destruction Of all her thrones.
And II the Church would not discern
the signs Of the times, the world did,
and men s hearts were failing them for
fear and for looking after the things
that are coming on the earth"

Mr.. Beecher was In an unusually
Initiative mood last night, and dis;
oourssd Familiarity in his lecture room
abont the various ideas Of death. He
did not think It an evidence of special
Christian grace to be willing to die. It
Il better to be willing to live and do
the duties Of life. When Paul said 1t
was better to depart, he was an old
man In prison. II an October pippin
saws 1t Is ready to drop, Is that any
reason a little green apple In June
should be ready? 1t Is the business Of
green apples to get ripe. All the rep

death are full of cheer and hope. For
Paul to die was to 90 to Christ. Dy-
ing Ia not growing short of breath and

We 90 where all the conditions lift US
I'D to a realm Of nobility. There
ali is concord. There Is no selflshness,
no hardness and crudeness and rude
ness or revenge ; all are working up
with one sweet impulse, with great
genial creative force Of Divine love.
These thoughts ring In my soul like
the bells Of a far-off city drawing me
thitherward. Dying Is the easiest
thing mon do. The suffering Ia In life {;
but as a rule men die as easily rs q
door turns upon Its hinges. Dying Is
going home, not to supineness, not to
Oriental luxury, but to supreme activ-.
ity, where every part Is developed and
cultured in the realm of love. Bless
God for the privilege OF dying! My
brother Charles, who was always In a
dying mood, once congratulated my
father upon the fact that he couldn't
live much longer. "Umph," said the
old man, "I don't thank amy of my
bows to talk to me In that way. |
I don't want to die. II l had my
choice and 1t was right to choose, l
would fight the battle all over"
"Father," continued Beecher, "was a
war horse, and after he was turned out
to pasture whenever he heard the
sound OF n trumpet he wanted the sad
die and bridle."

Mr.. II. w. BEEcnER concluded a

The country Is tired Of the perpetual
discussion upon what is called Ser
eral Grants nepotism." It Is mortify-
Ing to our national pride that the Pres
ident has permitted his immediate per-
sonal ''organs" to take any notice Of it
at all ; still more so that the Times
publishes detailed information about
every branch Of his family such as sug-
gests that Its authority must be the
President himself. The people expect
their President to appoint honest, ca
pable men to serve 1t. and to appoint
them solely for their ability to serve
the country, not to make places for de-
pendants. II he does this they are sat-
isfied, and will not closely inquire into
the family names, marriages and re-
mote degrees of kindred Of the men ap-
pointed. The fair question to discuss
Is whether the Presidents appoint
ments are thoroughly good In them
selves, not whose second or third
cousins they may be.-N. Y. Evening
