STICKEEN.

The San Francisco Bulletin speaks
very unfavOral,ly about the new lnining
fields in British Columbia. It calls it
"anOtl'cr British Columbia wildcat
excitement" aud says: "There have
lien periodical gold mining excite
ments i'll the Stickccn river regiOn-
the scene Of the present Onc-fOr the
last twelve years. but they have been
Invariably short lived, for the simple
reason there was nothing to sustain
them. Current reports from Stickecn
river are no more encouraging than
those circulated about every previous
mining excitement in that quarter.
The men whose names are mentioned
in connection Herewith, are men whose
names have been similarly assOciat ted
with nearly every other wildcat cx-
citcmcnt that has taken place in Brit
iSh Columbia during the last decade;
their statements must consequently he
taken with considerable allowance.
Were the truth known, there is prcba.
bly, as little cause as ever for the hub
hub just started about the wealth of
these Cassiar- Stickeen mincs.-
The Olympia Echo, of tile ODD ult.,
says: "a gentleman just down from

CARDS that section Us a great blk, and
lie believes the whole Stickeen excite

STARTING TOMATO pLANTs.-As
some persons may be in the same
plight this spring that was last as
regards knowing how they are to start
few early tomato plants, and have
them stalky and first class plants in
every respect, will give the details of
how managed to start a few hundred
to my entire satisfaction. l took a
small box, 12x2O inches, 6 inches deem
and filed it with good garden soil, and
put it OH the kitchen stove drum, and
let it stay there till the dirt was thor
oughly warmed through; then took a
stick and made marks an inch apart.
A. inches deep i'll the dirt, cross-ways
OF the b~X; then scattered tomato
seeds quite thick along the rows and
covered them about i of All inch deep;
then took 4 newspaper and wet it and
covered the box to prevent the dirt
from getting dry Oh top. The box was
set on = bench near the stove after the
seeds were Gown, and the following
day set on the stove drum again for
the purpose Of keeping mp the heat in
the soil, being careful not to let it get
tOO hot. In forty eight hours from the
time the seeds were sown, they had
sprutctl, and many had broken the
ground, a few were ] inch l,igh-C0r.

THE IDEAL LOVERS.

A Nashville paper is publishing 9
thrilling romance, which is ascribed
to ono j. Bateman Smith, whose dc
scriptions of the lovers deserve more
extended publicity, and are therefore
quoted as follows:
He was young, he was fair, and he
parted his hair like the average beau
in the middle; he was proud, he was
bold, but the truth must be told, he
played like fiend on the fiddle. But,
aside from this vice, he was every.
thing nice, and his heart was SO low
ing and tender, that he always turned
pale when lie trotl on the tail Of the
cat lying down by the fender. He
clcrked in a store, and the way that
he tore off calico, jeans, and brown
shccting, would have ticklcd a calf
and made the brute laugh in the face
Of a quarterly meeting. He cnt quite
a dash with a darling mustach, which
lie learned to adore and to cherish ;
for ono girl had SAID, while she drOOp-
cd her proud head, that 'twould kill
her to see the thing perish. On Sun
day he'd search the straight road to
the church, unheeding the voice
of the scorncr; and demurely he
sat, like a young tabby cat, with the
saints in the far amen corner. He
sang like a bird, and his sweet voice
was heard fairly Juggling away at long
meter; and VIC speak but the truth
when we say that this youth
could out~sing a hungry mosquito.
She was young, she was fair, and
she scrambled her hair like the aver
age belle Of the city; she was proud,
but not bold, yet the truth must be
told that the way she chewcd wax was
a pity. But, aside from this vice, she
was everything nice, and the world
much applauded her hustle; and the
Fayetteville boys, being charmed Ivy
tho noise, walked miles just to hear
the thing rustic. She cut quite a
swell, did this wax chewing belle, and
the men flOcketl in armies to see her;
but she gave them the shirk, for she
loved the young clerk who sang like a
hungry mosquito. So she hemmed
and hawed, and she sighed and she
'chawed," till her heart and her jaws
were both broken; then she walked
by his store, while he stood at the
door awaiting a token. She raised up
eyes with pretty surprise, aud tried
> enact tho proud scorner; but, to
lefl the plain truth, she grinnd at the
youth who loved the devout amen
corner.

A VERY charming daughter Of one
of the "solid men" of Boston, being
at ball few evenings since, was So
icited by combination Of mustache,
starch and broadcloth fer the honor Of
her hand in dance, to which solicita-
ton she returned an affirmative an
swer. In subsequent conversation
the combination inquired her fathers
business. "He is . wood sawyer she
replied. The fellow sloped, feeling that
he had let himself down o foot or two
by the association. The lady's father
was wealthy dealer in mahogany,
which occasionally has to be sawed.

The cattle trade Of Texas, Colorado
and Kansas is q source of enormous
wealth; is pouring millions of dollars
yearly in the Golfers of Kansas City,
Chicago, St. Louis; altogether last
year only IA, 900 head were taken to
tho latter city, Chicago getting the
bulk of the trade. st. Louis will con-
troll, if possible, this immense industry,
and thereby add millions Of dollars
annually to its sales Of groceries, dry
goods, and other manufactured arti-
cles. It is estimated that nOtwith-
standing the large losses caused by
the severity Of the last winter, Texns
alone will send forward to market this
year not less than 10000 head Of
cattle.

TIE WAY TO AVOID CALUMNY.-
..If any one speaks i'll of thee" said
Epictetus, "consider whether he hath
truth on his side; and if so, reform
thyself, that his censures may not at
feet thee" When Anaximander was
told that the very boys laughed at his
singing, "Ay,n said he, "then l must
learn to sing better.7 Plato being
told that he had many enemies who
spoke i'll Of him, said: ut is no mat
ter; Twill live SO that none shall be-
lieve them" Hearing, at another
time, that an intimate friend had
spoken detractively Of him, he said:
II am snre he would not do it if he
had not some reason for it."-
This is the surest, as well as the no
blest way of drawing the sting out of
a reproacl, and the true method of
a man for that great and
only reliefagainst the pains of calumny
"a good conscience.
