"hather the Democratic members have

ea chosen Chief Justice Wallace, giving
the Republicans the Senator for the resi-

matters of conjecture. The interest i'll

General among the people, our popula-

Rannblicans to give the Democrats the

Josr BoY.-One evening before the
late storm set in, and while the moon
was shining brightly, as gentleman was
returning to his home in a part of
Phoebe remote from the business center,
he was accosted by little boy, probably
not over eight years old, who inquired,
mister, are you going out this way?"
Receiving an affirmative answer, our lit

svmpathies being aroused in view of
lost child in the street at night, a gener-
ous hand was outstretched, and into it
was confidiRgly placed that of the boy
After walking but few steps the little
fellow spied the house toward which his
heart had yearned, and informing the
gentleman that he could find his way
home, withdrew his hand at once, and
stepped off as independently as if moth
ing bad happened. How like the rest Of
mankind was that youth! When in
trouble they will fondly grasp any
friends hand until the storm passes and
the trouble is over and then they seem
to forget all about the circumstance.

The ExpLANATIoN.-Fab accounts
have been published from time to time
Of the richness of the San Juan mines,
and those of an enthusiastic turn of
mind begin to think that the new trade
dollar originated at San Juan, and that
they have only to get to that promised
land, and extract the coin by the burro
load. The explanation is given by P. II.
Newbill to the editor of the San Francis
co Mining and Scientific Press, who says
that the majority of the men at San Juan
know nothing at all about mining, but
we're stock men, farmers, etc. They
talk" he says, "of rock yielding 1000,
$4,000, $4,000 and even SIS, 900 per ton,
which is, of course, all 'bosh, especially
in connection with the statement that
the leads run from 80 to so feet in width,
all mineral" Mr.. Newbill, like all others
who know anything OF the country, says
it will not do to 60 there in the Winter,
and that it is difficult to get into the
country before May, on account of the
heavy SHOWS.

an Office to perform, was made for some
useful purpose, if man will only apply
it. The snow was not sent merely to ac-
commodate sleighing parties and to
afford the sport of snow balling, but by a
little trouble may be the means of saw
ing much expense. The way to do the
thing is to gather up the snow, melt it
and convert it into water to be used for
hosting works. Remember that the
water will keep, but the snow will not
Those who would avail themselves of this
method Of economizing should be UP

will melt it all.

MILL CHARGEs.-It has been suggeste,
to US that the high charges made 70
