No Gold Found.

Ills fortunate for the nuriierous repu,
totion of tho southern continent lnat
another land OF treasure has been uis ,
covered, for the gold mines Of Peru alS
even more exhausted than those o.
California The few foreigners who
hNyo recently sunk their capital in the
sands OF the Peruvian rivers have NOT
recovered much Of it, and the search
for gold Inns been virtually abandoned,
Even tho tombs OF the Ineas no longer
Weld the precious metal to the sacrl'
lirious invader. It has long been q
tradition in Peru that in a sepnlcnr,e
situated near the summit Of high
mountain, few miles from Arequipal,
gold to tho value Of about thirteen mil
lion dollars was buried. About q yea
ago some adventurous foreigners as
cended the mountain with 0 party ol
Indian guides and la5orers. They dug
at the place pointed out by the Indians
and found handsome vault OF burn
brick. In the vault lay the dried-lll
remains of I'M old Peruvian queen. VI
her wrists wero bracelets OF silver, bu
no no. gold could be discovered. Owing Il
tie rarity Of the atmosphere, the nd
yenturers were forced to return t
Areouipa without having completed
their explorations. CuriOusly enough
most Of the gold in Peru comes from
Europe in the shape Of subscriptions
TO loans and the proceeds Of gllano
and those who sigh for the wealth o
! Peru are really signing for heaps Of thai
substance.

The Prince Imperial.

The young Prince Napoleon Eugene
Louis Jean Joseph was born on the15th
of March, 1856, and is therefore son OF
the late Ex.Emperor Of the French now
drowning toward the completion Of his
seventeenth year. II was intended that
he should receive u military education,
and while still an infant wNs placed in
the muster roll OF the French Imperial
Guards as private. 1t was designed
as compliment to tho army that he
should at least nominally go through
NIL the grada,ions OF the service. Be-
sides receiving first-clAss military edu-
cation lie received lessons in two or
three handicrafts, the last Of which was
the setting up of types in the imperial
printing office Of Psris. The young
Prince always bore the reputation Of
being intelligent, good tempered and
very much attached to his friends and
chosen companions.
The late ex.Emperor was most pnr.
ticulnr and thoroughly practical reader
in his why, would not allow his spelling
G fcrreG with in the least, 4 cOmpoBitor,
who was employed in the connection Of
some of the Enperor's slips Of u work
he had in progress, communicated some
facts Of interest. He said the young
prince was capital compositor, that lie
had case Of the best mahogany cases,
Il small imposing surface Of slate, and
the prettiest little press in the world.

A Delicate Matter Practically treated.

A story is told by Dickens IN the mar.
rativo Of his residence in Switzerland,
given to the world by Mr. Forster, of II
Swiss bride who, having according to
local custom to buy u black dress for
her wedding, observed to her mother,
an old Indy OF eighty.two, " You know,
mother, l am sure towant mourning for
YOU soon, and the same gown will do. y
Similar want Of rovcrent delicHcy is Of
ten compatible with real affection in
the case Of persons deficient in crltiva-
ton.
Visitors, says the London Echo, meet
with instances Of this Obtusoness in the
poor, when there is no lack OF good
feeling. The Scotch peasantry, warm
hearted race enough, are great sinners
in this respect. A benevolent lady, who
had devoted herself to soothing the
woes of the sick and sorrowful, in u
small Scotch parish, being particularly
attracted by M Amiable young lady,
tho daughter Of cotter, who was suf-
foring from consumption, visited her
continually in her little garret.
The patient got weaker, and her kind
friend entertained little doubt TINT the
end was near, when, on calling ms usual
to see the sufferer, she was astonished
to find her down stairs in tho "keep-
ing.room." On questioning the mother
us to the Improvement she supposed
must have taken place to warrant this
change, the tender parent Immediately
replied, in her child's presence, Deed,
my Teddy, we were fain to move hor;
wo could M lac gotten the corpse doom
stars"

Grain Statistics.

The imports OF grain ut Buffalo last
year were larger than in any preceding
year, excepting 1871, For a long timU
there has becn n steady and marked dc.
cline in the receipt Of ilour, the imports
during last year having been 769,36S
barrels, against 1,24l 900 in 1871, and
l,453,0l8 barrels in the previous year,
the decrease having been noticeable for
several past years. But Buffalo is not
alone in this decline, since the receipts
at Western centres have been parallel
with those at Buffalo. Chicago, Toledo,
Detroit, Milwaukee, md Cleveland had
IN aggregate of receipts in 1909 OF over
100000 barrels one year afterwards
they lowered to 4,25O,6OO; in 1871 to
$4,000, 900, and in 1872 to 100000. AT
present, and this may explain this de.
cline, n larger amount OF wheat is raised
in the Western States than formerly
there was. Lumber received last year
amounted to 2l2, 0I6,O 900 MS opposed TO
2O0,6l6;0OO In the preceding year. The
grain receipts at Buffalo for 1879 were
1885,, 00bushels, and the total receipts
at the lake Chicago, Milwaukee,
Toledo, Detroit, Cleveland and Duluth
were---ilour being estimated as wheat
143, 100,6ss bushels. The measure.
ment Of the cereals which pass through
Buffalo shows nearly two.thirls Of the
whole receipts Of all tho great grain
centres OF tile Northwest.

Though the days are frightening,
and the sun is returning, aud the SUM
mer Joy afnr of is advancing, still the
cold Of winter is yet 10 come. The
great mother Of storms sings in the
north; SHOWS ore yet to DO piled and
drifted; bitter days aro got to como (;
the whole weight Of winteris due after
the days begin to lengthen; frosts will
grippe the ground, md not let go; but
under the storms, through the SHOWS,
beneath the cold, under All the winter,
is nevertheless the silent deliyerance
which is surely coming. You cannot
yet sec the effects no flower blossoms,
no bud Bwclls, no dew softly speaks to
you; yet along tho eArly anl late llori-
zon is n circle Of crescent light girding
the earth, and rs sure MS Gods decree
it is bringing summer whit, and every
day nearer. Therefore let those who
mourn in harsh troubles, and are over
wholmed in storms Of Adyprsity, know
TINT, though winter yet lowers, the great
causeof theirtroubles may have changed
long ago. Let those who are in sorrow
remember that, as the year goes on
storming and laundering, deliverOnce
may be coming, though they see 1t not.
Your days mNy wear more gold III the
morning, and more at night, though the
midday is full Of snow. Nor does relief

The New Year.

The Old Year is dead. He died wit h

the day before MS tho foal day OF his
life, and held his own to tholast mo-
ment. The requiem has ensuing over
his dead body, the mourners have
thrown into the dark grave tho sprig OF
green, in token that there Is life in
death, that there is n resurrection morn
and that Death itself shall live, and be-
fore the clods have fallen on the hollow
box, the wall of the infant New Year is
heard. The bells clNng ont tho knell OF
the Old with its memories Of NIL we
have done or suffered, performed or

the changeful chimes burst into II peal
