Troy DISTRICT. From Davies,
who made his regular monthly visit
to this place during last week, we
learn that the recent developments
on the Blue Eagle and Troy lodges
are of. the most encouraging charac-
ter. The company, after years of
tdiligent search and expenditure of
nearly $5OO,OOO, had become about
respondent, and were considering
the question of abandoning the
whole enterprise, when in the pros
, ecution of some new work, vast
deposit Of high grade ore was dis
covered in the lower workings.
These disclosures have had the effect
to restore confidence to the COM
pany, and an additional capital OF
100000 was at once subscribed with
which to carry on operations. The
fine twenty-stamp mill and Stede-
feldt furnace will probably be start
ed this Fall, but not until the ac-
: emulation of 5000 tons of ore shall
have been raised from the mines of
quality that will assure profit.
This has been one of the most solid
and energetic mining associations
which England has furnished to the
Pacific slope. 1t is formed of
wealthy men of Lancashire, who
have been most liberal in arming
the local management with the
sinews of wary. p News

ANOTHER WONDER IN HEAVEN.
A letter from jamestown, Russell
county, Kentucky, gives an account
of truly marvellous phenomenon
observed in that vicinity a few days
since by the two Messrs. Pierce.
The sky was cioudless. The sun
was in the western horizon. Just
under the sun was discovered some
thing that looked like man. I'M
mediately reporting what they had
seen, others went forth to make
observations, but instead of seeing
the man that the Pierce brothers
had reported, they plainly observed
Z" two women emerging from the
sky, one from the left and the other
from the right of the sun. They
gradually came together just under
the centre of the sun until they
were in the embrace of each other,
at which moment large eagle came
forth and sailed around the women
for about fifteen minutes, and at
length rested on their heads and
remained there for some time. The
same evening a Mr.. Davis, who
lives two miles from the Pierces,
saw the same sights at the same time
of day" However extraordinary
all this may appear, the truth of it
is affirmed by many reliable gen.
tlemen.

How A DETROIT JUDGE DIsPosEs
OF OLD DRUNKs.-" Margaret Gra-
ham, why is this thus?" asked His
Honor, as an aged woman stood at
the bar.
81 couldn't help it, sir,' she sad
ly said, folding her hands and drop
ping her eyes.
Il see gray hairs, wrinkles of age
and signs that you are slowly drift
ing into the grave" he continued.
"and yet you get drunk and hurrah
for General Jackson, and rouse the
neighbors from their BEDS"
Z" Please, ,sir,i was a small drunk"
she explained.
"And yet you have been here be-
fore, and / have let mercy over
power Justice. / am ashamed, Mar
garet, to think that, in this nine
teenth century of civilization, a
woman forty-fou years old, should
be brought in here charged with
drunkenness"
"I'll do better, sir.'
81 hope so, Margaret; 1 hopeyou
will dash the cup from you, and take
a solemn VOW never to drink any
thing stronger than river water after
this"
81 will, sir.'
"And, though the bloom of youth
may not return to your faded cheek,
you will feel young again in spirit,

further remark and I am over-I

BURSTING BRAINS.-A fearful and
unaceountable disease has just broke
out in lower California, commonly
called the bursting sickness, and is
spreading rapidly. General conster-
nation follows in its pathway. The
doctors are dumbfounded, and there
is no determining where or when
the disease will stop. The symp-
toms are sudden nausea, followed
Immediately by severe pain along
the spine, proceeding from its lower
extremity to the head, and described
as feeling as though blunt knife
was scraping upward. There is
theB-when the pain reaches the
back of the head-a sharp poignant
distress there which makes the pa
tent delirious, although it never
produces Inconsistencies or loss of
the right use of the senses. The
eyes are bloodshot and wild, with
pupils greatly contracted. The sem
sitiveness to light is intense, so much
so, that even in paroxysms OF excru-
tiating agony the patient will rise
and seek dark place. This state
lasts commonly not more than thirty
to forty minutes. during which the
patient feels as though his head is
splitting; and when this condition
has lasted for about half an hour the
Uranium actually bursts open at the
surface, as is sometimes the case with
. infants, whose heads split thus after
death from water on the brain. The
sound produced by this rending as
sunder of the bones of the skull can
plainly be heard full ten feet from
the patient. 1t is said that in some
instances the distraction is extremely
sudden and accompanied with a
noise still louder. This occurs, too,
at a moment when. the sufferer is in
full consciousness, and it is terrible
to witness.

WOMEN HATERS AND BEATERs,-

WOMEN HATERS AND BEATERs.-
The Phoebe Record, speaking of
doings in San Francisco, says:
We read terrible tale of an un-
fortunate woman who was about to
drown herself and her babe, being
driven to desperation by her hus-
bands cruelty. A brute that would
under almost any circumstances
raise his hand against woman,
ought to be soundly scourged; but
the man that abuses and ill-treats
the woman that he has sworn to
protect and defend, ought to be pun
ished so severe as to be warning to
all such brutes as we'll as himself.
The lash, we'll laid on, should be his
fate"
Holland had better discharge
that man; he knows too much, or
too little, else he would let the wife
whipping question alone. = ED.
TIMEs.]
This is so, says the Nevada Yrib-
u,ae, and yet we know of men who
are in the constant habit of beating
and i'll treating their wives, and yet
have the audacity to mix in decent
society and call themselves men.
This kind are easily to be distin-
guished, and for the benefit of un-
married ladies we will endeavor to
draw picture: The woman-beater
is generally pale, white-livered
looking creature; man on whose
cheeks blush never appears; man
who in business will grind the last
cent from poor customer, and, If
he dare, abuse him in the bargain.
He is generally puffy, slobby-look-
ing individual; between the eyes is
the spot to look to distinguish such
a one from a gentleman. His in
stincts are british as well as his
acts, and though he may flourish for
while, his filthy appetite will drag
him down to habitual drunkenness
and the brute's level.

Accents COMPARED. Humboldt, in his as
cent TO Chimborazo, was compelled to stop at
a height of 10000 feet, on account Of suffoca-
ton. More recently the Sehlagintweit ascend
ed the Himslsyas and slept all night at a height
of 10 200 feet and still later ascended the peak
lbi Gsmin, to the height of 22,200 feet Mr..
Glaisher, the English astronomer, claims to
have assembled to height of $4,000 feet with
out any discomfort. and that he experienced
no serious suffocation till he reached height
of 80 900 feet. These are the results, no doubt,
of the different effects of diminished atmos-
pheric pressure on different constitutions.

4 PERFECT HOME.

The most perfect home ever saw was
a little house into the sweet incense of
whose fire went not costly things. A
thousand dollars served as years living
Of father, mother and three children
But the mother was the creator Of q
home; her relations with her children
were he most beautiful have ever seen;
even the dull and common place man was
lifted up and enabled to do good work for
souls by the atmosphere which this wo-
man created; every inmate Of her house
involuntarily looked into her.face for the
keynote of the day, and it always rang
clear. From the rosebud or clover leaf
which, in spite of her hard housework
ahe always found to put by our plates al
breakfast, down to the story she had or
hand to read in the evening, there was nc
intermission of her influence. She had
always been and always will be my idea
of a mother, wife and home-maker. Il
to her quick brain, loving heart and ex
quisite face had been added the appli
ance of wealth and the enlargement O
wider culture, hers would have been alb
solutely the idea home. As it was, 4
was the best have ever seen.-Hsle,

Girls Standing fn Stores.

A prominent Philadelphia physician
writes as follows of the practice of COM
pelling shop girls to stand behind the
counter during all hours of services:
The custom is selfish, cruel and use
less. Selfish on the part of the proprie-
tor requiring the women to stand ali tho
time, whether serving customers or not
and this merely that they may appear
to be always on the alert to wait on
those who call. To stand from seven
or eight in the morning to six, eight or
ten at night-as it is the custom at Ger
tain stores--with short time at mid
day for dinner, would weary any man.
But to exact such services from girls
and women! Their physical powers
are, it is well known, much weaker
than those Of men at any rate, and by
their anatomical and physiological pc.
culiarities, they are entirely unfit for
bearing this especially severe toll,
namely standing all day long. My pro.
fcssional brethen, who practice largely
among women, are constantly witnes.
