YAKIMA MINES. A Walla Walla ex-
change has been shown private letter
to gentleman in that city from n friend
in the Swock mines, in which, among
other things, it speaks of mines having
been struck down on the Yakima river.
at the mouth of the Swock. They pros
pect well, and it is believed they will
prove to be good paying mines. At the
newly discovered camp there is no snow,
plenty of water, and the miners are en-
gagged in opening claims. In the Swock
mines theI nights are still cold, and
there is not much doing. Snow is from
two to three feet deep, and is settling
and melting little. The writer seems
to haye all faith in the mines ultimately
paying rich, both in placer and quartz
mining.

An Index 10 Marriage.

1t don't require an astrologer, a
medium or gypsy with direct pack
of cards. 1t is very simple-lies in q
nutshell, and can be expressed in a
few words They are these: The last
person you would naturally think
of.
fla girl expresses a fondness for
majestic men with large whiskers,
make up your mind that she will marry
very small man with none. If she
declares that mind" is all she looks
for, expect to SEQ her stand before the
altar with a pretty fellow who has just
sense enough to tie crayat bow. If
on the contrary, she declares she must
have handsome husband, look about
you for the plainest person in her cir
Gle of acquaintance, and declare that
is the man, for it will be.
Men are almost as bad. The gen.
tlemen who desires wife with a mind
and mission, marries a lisping baby
who screams at the sight Of mouse,
and hides her face when she hears a
sudden knock at the door. And the
gentleman who dreaded anything like
strongmindedness, exults in the fact
that his wife is exactly everything he
declared he detested.
IF a girl says of one. Marry him!
I'd rather die look upon the affair
as settled, and expect cards to the
wedding of those two people.
If a man remarks of a lady, Not
my style at allI'' await patiently the
appearance of his name in the matri-
monial column in connection with that
very lady's.
And if any two people declare them
selves friends and nothing more"
you may know what will come next.
There is no hypocrisy in all this,
and such matches are invariably the
happiest- People do not know them
selves, and make great mistakes about
their intentions. Love is terribly
perplexing when he first begins to up
set ones theories, and when his arrow
first pierces the heart there is such a
futtering there, that it is hard to guess
the cause. Besides man proposes and
God disposes, and it is the IL don't
know what with which people fall in
love, and not those peculiarities
which could be given in pa sport.

out his intentions. Having finished
his business he forgot all about the
little circumstance of bringing his wife
with him, and started home alone.
Arriving there, he put his horses out
and proceeded to do the chores. In
the meantime his wife had learned
that her husband had left town with

Either General Howard has been
the most abused and prosecuted man
in the nation, or else they have an un-
heard of way of packing Courts of In
quiry and Congressional committees
in Washington For years charges of
peculation and corruption have been
preferred against him, followed by in
vestigations ordered to discover the
facts. An acquittal is the result each
time, but the verdict does not silence
his accusers. Indeed, it seems to in
spire them to fresh attacks, and after
months of steady detraction another
inquiry is ordered. The last one has
just finished its work, and has honor
ably acquitted the accused. We do
not know what General Howard's en-

pose the charges viii continue as reck-
