SEND Us ITEMs.--The storms have
commenced and active mining operations
will soon follow. Trinity county has of
late become quite favorite and intelli-
gence regarding its mining resources and
operations is anxiously sought after by
both miners and capitalists in other parts
of the Slate. This makes us particularly
desirous to present reasonable display
of local mining news during the present
season. We therefore trust that our
friends throughout the county will not be
backwards about sending us items regard
ing the doings of the miners in their sew
eral localities. Remember that many
things transpire which, if jotted down,
will be of interest to some at least, and if
you can't put them in good enough shape
for print, we can. just send them along.

rue WRONG MAN

Dick Wood candidate for Congress in
this district, while oanvassing in the
mountains the other day, was compelled
at one point to imbibo a good deal Of APP

that he was not one Of those high flyers
who think themselves made Of superior
stuff to the honest and hardy yoemanry
The consequence was that after giving
orders to be woke up at o'clock in the
morning that be might be able to meet a

Some seamps procured some lamp.black

Next morning promptly he was aroused,

did not take time to wash, but bolted his
breakfast and rode away at a brisk gait.
Arriving at his destination, he hunted up

Greatly astonished, Dick blurted ont,

No, sir but you had better not attempt

Seeing looking glass on the wall,
Dick stepped up and looked in. Starting
back with an oath that fairly made the
windows rattle, he exclaimed:
Well, If the cussed fools at Wythyille,
haven't walked up the wrong man, and
Wood is over there yeti
Jerking off his hat, he dropped into a
chair and began vigorously TO fan him

SUNRISE ON MOUNT wAsHINGroN

The sound Of doors opening and clos
ing softly, of mufiied footsteps along the
hall, awakens us. 1t is yet dark. A
bright star wrinkles through the curtain,
telling US the good news. Toilets are dis
patched with no great ceremony, aud
muH'led in overcoat aud shawl we hurry
down to fud a hundred other masked
figures on the spacious platform in the
faint twilight. We stumble over huge
chain, What is it? Every twenty feet
a chain cable comes through the p l2tform
from its anchorage in the rock beneath,
passing over the hotel similarly on the
other side-a windy suggestion.
Does it ever blow here? Look at the
little building which is the signal station.
The four little brass cups of the auemom-
ater are absolutely moti0nIess; not a
breath stirs--a rare case on Mount Wash
ington. Cast your eyes about, peer down
into the gioom-so different from the
gloom of the coming night. Dim, shad-
oway outlines Of mountain outlines dis.
cernable against the deeper shadows that
mark the profound gnlfs between. In
strange contrast with this indefinite dark
ness below, in the flaming light Of the
morning star, high up ia the eastern sky.
How weirdIy the dawn comes! How
persistently the darkness fingers!
A chill, gray light at last creeps down
the valley, there lay along the rivers long
white lines Of fog, resembling the glaciers
of Alpine valley; there ia the sheen Of
some mountain lake. a faint, cold blush

SILVER SPRING.

Seen at midday, is one of the grandest
sights that mortals can look upon, when,
with the sun casting its rays away down
into its depths, all the colors of the prism
are reflected back to the eye, 1t can,
said lady from Long Island, be com
pared to palace hung with diamonds!
To add to the beauty of the scene the
water, rushing out from its great depths
like an inverted cataract, rises several
rods distant in a general spray nom
which a miniature rainbow is formed.
The scene is magniicent--it is sublime!
You may sit by the spring for hours
almost enchanted and when the time for
departure arrives regret TO leave the
beautiful sight.
There may be seen hundreds Of the
Gnny tribes, among which are trout Of
the finest quality aud Of the largest size
and catfish, with their many attendants,
all in martial array, away down in their
crystal abodes.

A PRACTICAL TEST.

A Danbury man named Reuben recent.

man who has made five distinct attempts
in the last fortnight to secure dinner Of
green peas by the lst of July, and every
time has been retarded by Renben's hens.
The next morning after Reuben made bis
resolution he found his fifth attempt to
have miscarried Then be called on
Reuben. He said
What in thunder do you mean by let
ting your hens tear up my garden.
Reuben felt tempted to call him mud

tion, put down his rage, and meekly oh.

Then the mad neighbor, who had been
eyeing this answer with great deal Of
SUSPICION, broke in again;
Why don't you answer me you ras-
cal!
But Reuben maintained his equanimity
and went on with the test. -
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen

The mad neighbor stared harder than
ever.
Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty

You are mean skunk, said the mad
neighbor, backing off toward The fence,
Reubens face flushed at this charge
but still he only said:
Twenty-two,tw ,twenty-three, ,twenty-four

At this figure the neighbor got up OF
the fence in some haste; but suddenly re

Here the neighbor broke for the house
and entering it violently slammed th
door behind him; but Reuben did no
dare let up on the enumeration, and so b
stood out there alone in the yard, ant
kept on counting, while his burnin
cheeks aud flashing eyes eloquen;ly al
/ firmed his Judgment. When he got u
into the eighties his wife came to the doc
ia some alarm.
Why, Reuben, man what are yon dc

But he didn't let up. She came out t
