The impression is gaining ground
that Alaska is not to prove so bad a
bargain as was supposed. In addi
tion to its furs and fisheries it seems
probable that its mineral resources
may be valuable. Gold and silver
quartz has been discovered on In
dian river, which runs through the
suburbs of Sitka, and gentlemen
who. have had some experience in
mining believe the country to b.
rich in the precious metals. Amber
has also been found there. Large
quantities of ivory have been found
in Alaska. A trader says that mill
ions of pounds of it can be picked
up on the shores of the great lakes
of the Aleutian peninsula.

AWordt to SfernEafhers.

1t never can be too strongly im>
pressed upon the mind that nothing
releases a parent from his duties to-
ward a child. No waywardness, no
disObedience, no rebellion, no pro-
figacy, can ever justify a father in
casting son or daughter adrift.
We hear of sons being cut off with
out shilling, or daughters being
forbidden their fathers house, and
without any exception such cases
are proof that of whatever sins their
children may have been guilty, the
father is even more guilty. No
person can commit against society
so great a crime as a father commits
who is thus false to the trust which
he himself impOsed-who thus
thrusts off from himself the soul
which he called into being.
A father should be governed by
no motive but his chiId's best inter
ests, and a child's best interests can
never be served by anything but
his fathers constant and loving care.
IF a child is so bad that his influence
is feared on the other children, sep
arate them. IF it is feared that
money bestowed On him will be for
his injury, provision may be made
against that. But when father in
a fit of anger disinherit5 or refuses to
see his child, he commits a crime
which the laws indeed do not rec
Ognize, but whose guilt it would
take many a legal crime to out
weigh. There should be absolutely
no limit to parental forgiveness and
forbearance. Seven times and sew
enty times seven should the father
receive the prOdigal son who seeks
his face and if he never seeks it, il
he goes on, stubborn and rebeIliOus,
not one atom of fatherly care and
interest should he relax; for the
child is his offspring, born of his
will, and no vice or violence can re
lease the man from his solemn OBJ
legation to guard and guide as far as
possible, the life he dared to give.

Asteroids.

Three new asteroids must be added to
the list, discovered within as many
months, one by a German astronomer
and two by American observers. There
are now one hundred and twenty frag-
mentary planets circling through the
planetary ether in the great gap be-
tween Mars and Jupiter. 1t is no use to
be out of patience at the advent of these
new brothers and sisters, for men OF
science calculate that at least thous-
and are floating round to be caught as
soon as we get telescopes of higher re-
fracting powers. By and by it will be
no more to sight an asteroid than it is
now to pick blackberry. We wish
we could imprison some of the starlets
and make them give a history of the
tremendous concussion which brought
ruin and desolation upon the fair planet
which once. perhaps, shone among the
stars, larger than our neighbor Mars,
and less than our magnificent brother
Jupiter.

AS little as one might suppose it, the
Mexicans under Corella and Trevino re-
spectively, did really get up very con-
siderable fight lately, near Monterey /;
Trevino having captured sixteen hun
dred Government troops, all the guns,
trains, and the army chest with sixty
thousand dollars in it. There were
seven hundred dead left On the field
But Trevino did not capture his antago-
mist, which, perhaps, was of little con-
sequence, because as a General he has
proven himself anything but success.
As this battle decides little or nothing,
it is only one more murderous affray,
such as Mexico has been amusing her,
self continually with for the last forty
uaara

Select Miscellany.
THE CHILD'S INQUIRY.

Carl snhurz sat down one evening late
To rest his weary head,
When his little son came into the room,
And, looking at him, said:
"who is this Horace Greeley, pa,
That people call 80 wiser
Is be some giant tall enough
To reach unto the sk kies1''
"oh. no, my child. about as large
As or Governor Brown
Twas not his stature made him great,
Or won him his reuown.
"But be It Was who nobly bailed
JEFF. Davis from his cell,
And now we want for President
The man who did SO WE'LL"
"But, then. paps, was not old JEFF.
A traitor TO the State7
You used to run him down and say
That hanging was his fate.
And wouldn't Horace Greeley, pa,
If he we're President,
BAH out and pardon every rogue
Who was to prison sent 2"
ooh, no, my child, JEFF. Davis was
An enemy In war;
But he who balls u common rogue
His neighbors all abhor."
"Then, ps, II 1 shoald steal horse,
I'D steal hundred more;
Would be great aud get bsiled out,
Like Davis did before p
''Oh, no, my child, the Gospel says
That you should always do
To every person as you would
That they should do to you"
"But, pa, did Horace Greeley think
That in some future day.
He'd want bail when he should try
His country to betray?"
The Senator could say no more,
So, turning quickly, said:
ats nine O'Clock, my little boy;
'Tis time you were in bed"

President Theirs is making cap
ital with the bourgeoise of Paris by
giving his receptions at the Elysee.
The movement is very popular with
the trades>people, as it promises a
revival of trade-even the sem
blance of a court requiring various
articles of attire, the demand for
which has hitherto been limited,
and these receptions argue others
more quietly making more sales.
People of the different parties are,
however, shy of being seen at the
Presidents, and one appears to be
waiting for the other. Many Amer
leans attend and enjoy them. Nine.

the title Of an article in the Inde-

Simplicity.

Krummachor illustrates simplicity
by the following beautiful fable /:
"The angel who takes care of the
flowers, and sprinkles dew upon
them in the still night, slumbered,
on spring day, in the shade of a
rosebush. When he awoke, be
said: Most beautiful of my chill
dren, I thank thee for the refresh
ing odor and cooling shade. Could
you now ask any favor, how will
ingly would l grant itP 'Adorn
me, then, with a new charm said
the spirit of the rosebush, in a be-
seechiDg tone. So the angel adorn-
ed the loveliest of flowers with sim-
pie moss. Sweetly it stood there in
its modest attire, the moss-rose, the
most beautiful of its kind. So the
costliest ornaments are often the
simplest. There is no gold, nor
jewel nor sparkling pearl, equal to
the Ornament of a meek and quiet
spirit, which is in the sight of God,
of great price,"
