The WASHOE CANARY,

Within a cabin, six by ten,
Jem Beggs ives dreaming of his power
When he should make pile and leave
The spot he'd worked for many an hour.
In dreams through Rag Town" camp he bore
The treasures Of millionaire;
And as he slung his cash on high
He smole smile and yanked O sigh,
Like a Washoe canary bird.
An hour passed on-Jem Boggs awoke;
That bright dream was his last;
He woke to hear his landlord shrek,
Your board! your board! you blk! you sneakl
He woke to fight midst dust and smoke,
And yell. and curse and poker-stroks;
And earrings falling fast.
He brought his double fist to bear
Upon the landlords larboard ear,
And Jem he raised yell:
Strike-till you close his larboard eye!
Strike-till you make the claret fy!
Jem smole smile and breathed sigh
For the Washoe canary bird.
They fought like tigers long and WE'LL
They strewed the floor with Jems bedclothes;
Jem Strengthened out, the landlord fell,
Bleeding at mouth and nose.
When his surrounding comrades saw
His smile, then rang their loud hurrah,
And the big flight was won.
They saw the landlords peppers close,
His hairless scalp, his battered nose
Well have no more conduct like those,
Said the Washoe canary bird.
Go to Nevada's distant land
Where Humboldt sinks beneath the sand
To where Star City's site now stands
You II find Jem's famous cabin.
Explore the deserts UP and down;
Gaze on her hills of purple brown.
Where numerous volcanoes frown,
You II hear as you approach the town,
sound break on the desert air,
And through the hills and canyons tear,
Like double barreled thunder:
Yaw-he, yaw-he. yaw-he-
Tis the Washoe ca Marie.

ONE of the pests which dog civilization
the more so the further it advances the
Scar of ridcue. Is there anybody living,
who has not been laughed into what be
sughtnot to have done Who has not sinned?
Who has not been renegade from dnty?
Who has not stihed his best feelings? Who
has not mortified his noblest desires, solely to
escape being laughed at? And not once
merely. but time after time, until that which
has so often been checked becomes stunned
and no longer dare hold up its head. And
then after having been laug ghed at ourselves
we, too, join the pack who go about laugh
ing down others.

GOLD NoTEsr-The following item of inter


est we clip from the Grass Valley Union.
We are glad to notice that gold notes are
being introduced into general circulation in
this State. They are just as valuable as
coin, because they will buy as much as the
coin can in any market, and the holder can
get coin for them at the bank. These gold
notes are not greenbacks, to be discounted,
but are at par with gold. A twenty dollar
gold note is as good for twenty-dolar gold
piece as one twenty-dollar gold piece is good
for another. These gold notes are, moreover :,
just as safe as is the government itself. The
government is acknowledged we'll founded,
and not liable to break up. In short, gold
notes are as good as the gold itself The
advantage is in convenience. Two or three
hundred dollars in gold coin is cumbersome
in the pocket. Gold notes, to any amount,
are not inconveniently heavy. We have
not, as yet, tried the weight of many of them
but we know that we are correct in the state
ment we have made There is every advan-
tage in the nse of gold notes.

PRoTEcTIN FROM THE SUN.-Our expert
eince gathered ia the hay and harvest field
has taught us that the protection of the back
of the head and neck from the suns rays is
imparatively necessary. A white pocket
handkerchief fastened to the back part of the
inside of the hat and allowed to hing and
cover the neck, will conduce much to the
wearer's comfort. The handkerchief loosely
hanging is stirred with every breeze, and
causes continual current Of air around the
back of the head, which will tend to relieve
or preqent many tiresome headache that
would otherwise interfere with the labors OF
the day or the nights rest.-HearM and

A DEFINITION OF LovE.-Many women
suppose that they love their husbands, when,
unfortunately, they have not the beginning
of an idea what love is. Let one explain it
to you, my dear lady. Loving to be ad-
mred by man, loving to be petted by him,
loving to be carressed by him, and loving to
be praised by him is not loving a man. All
these may be when a woman has no power
of loving at all-they may all be simply be-
cause she loves herself and loves to be fiat
tered, praised, caressed, coaxed; as cat
likes to be coaxed, and stroked, and fed with
cream, and have warm corner.
But all this is not loce 1t may exist, to
be sure, where there is love; it generally
does But it may also exist where there j.
no love. Love, my dear ladies', is selfsac-
riJice; it is a life out of self and in another
Its very essence is the preferring of the com
fort, the ease, the wishes of another to ones
own, for the love we bear them. Love is
giving and not receiving. Love is not a
sheet of blotting paper or Il sponge, sucking
in everything to itself; it is am out-springine
fountain, giving from itself. Loves motto
has been dropped in this world as a chance
gem of great price, by the loveiest, the fair
est, the purest, the strongest Of lovers that
ever trod this mortal earth, of whom it is re-
corded that He said :-"l 1t is more blessed
to give than to receive" Now, in love there
are ten receivers 70 one giver. There are
ten persons in this worl1 who like to be loved
and love, where there is one who knows how
to love.

Dress.--lt my be set down as a general
rule that the prettiest girls are those who
dress the planest; pretty girls do not require
the extra adornment of dress. Whenever
therefore, we see one of the gaudly arrayed
creatures of fashion, our minds are at once
made up she is not unnaturally beautiful.
Every rule has its exception. So this one !;
but, in its application, it vii! be found to be

FIDDIING Down BRIDi E.-Professor
Lowering of Cambridge, Mass. read an in
teresing paper before the American Science
Association, upon the subject of sympathetic
vibrations. The Tribune gives the follow
ing synopsis of his remarks:
1t was presumed that the members were
more or less familiar with Mildes experiment
with tuning fork and vibrating thread
This optical method of Milde is very much
improved by using a large bar of iron and
pcrpetuating the motion by means of mag
netic excitement, the vibration being thus
maintained for any length of time. A cord
20 or 80 feet in length is thus thrown into
vibration. When the first suspension bridge
was built in England fiddler offered to I'D
die it away. Striking one note after another
he eventually hit its vibration note, or fun
damental tone, and threw it into such extra
ordinary vibrations that the bridge builders
had TO beg him to desist. Only recently a
bridge went down under the tread of infantry
in France, who had not broken step, and
800 were drowned. An experiment is often
referred TO of tumber or small glass
vessel being broken by the frequent repeti-
ton of same particular note by the human
voice 1t is said, and may be true, that
certain German tavern-kcepcrs increase their
feat. In the Tamud there is a curious
question raised as to what would be the
damages if domestic vessel were broken
by noise made by animal, such as bark
ing dog.

A ROMANTIC STORY. Y.--The Castrovitfe
Argus relates a story circnmstantially, of a
mining discovery made in the mountains back
of Monterey, which reads like romance
though vouched for as veritable history
Fifty years ago Mexican was recommended
by the Indians to repair to certain hot
spring, located as above, whose waters We're
eflicacous in the cure of rheumatism, with
which his wife, Maria Romero, was afflicted
Having had experience as miner, he found
a silver ledge, specimens from the rock from
which assayed as high as $4,000. He then
started for Lower California to induce some
of his countrymen TO engage with him in
working the vein. While on the journey he
died. His widow gathered her children
about her, and worked tho mine crudely for
some time in secret, realizing handsome
gains, when she went also to Lower Cali
fornia and died. Years rolled away and
the circumstances were all forgotten. A
Mexican lad, who was engaged as game
packer to party of hunters, stumbled across
the ledge and worked it for some time, using
his skill as practical ieweer in manufacture
ing from the silver belt buckles, rosetles, etc
He finally consented to lead "A party Of
Americans to The spot, but before he could
acc mplish his purpose he also died. Dr.
Alderman set to work to discover the sur
vivng Romero children, who were scattered
and in the meantime had grown to be men,
He was successful, and gaining a clue to the
lost mine, started out, accompanied by his
brother and few others, and found it. He
returned to Monterey few days ago, with
specimens of the ore which was estimated to
assay as high as 81 300 to the tn. The
vein is considered exceedingly rich, and the
ore found to be easily reducble The Doc
tor considers his fortune made, as the mine
is only between thirty and forty miles from
Monterey, in an accessible locality.

The Wheat Crop.

It Is now pretty well known what the wheat
crop in East Tennessee will be. Where the
z-ound Is rich enough to produce it. the crop
will be more than an average one. Already we
hear of some fields having been harvested
where the yield is large. We have noticed
many fields that will produce more than an av-
erage crop. We have before Us a specimen
grown by Mr.. G. Shell, of McMinn county,
which is not excelled anywhere. The heads
are large and we'll filed. Mr.. Shell Is a good
farmer and always succeeds in raising good
crsps. We trust farmers will find ready mar
they will.
we were shown yesterday a fine sample of
wheat by Mr.. Josephus Walker, grown on his
farm few miles from this city, consisting Of
two varieties, which are nearly ready for har-
vesting. He has about seventy acres sown.
