Castac Placer Mine.

One of the hands from the Castac
Mine came to the city yesterday. He
reports the wagon road completed to
the head of the ditch and the grade
staked out over one mile, which puts
the ditch high up on the side of the
caflon, in good ground for ditching.
The men are all in good health and
spirits. This speaks well for the en-
terprse, when we consider that all the
men are working for stock in the COM

to be fair prospect that this mining
enterprise will be grand success and

Three Novel Foundlings.

On Sunday evening last somebody
--well-disposed, we trust-left box,
containing three kittens, on the door
step of our friend, DIR. f. M. Shaw.
Attached to the box was O scrap of
paper, upon which the following
verses were inscribed in a very neat
lady's hand:
Three little kittens nestle here,
Far, far away from mother dear;
Torn from our home by ruthless hand,
Kind sir, blame not our little bard.
We've had no voice in stocking earth,
Nothing to say about our birth;
Why we're on earth, you know the cause
Obedience to Natures laws.
Then let no cruel guillotine,
Before our pleading eyes be seen;
No worthless canine craunch our bones,
While you make merry DER our means.
No hungry John, with almond eye,
Transform us into feline pie.
Tie not a stone our necks around,
And toss us in the ditch to drown.
Give us some milk, we humbly pray;
Watch DER us, day by day;
Give us warm and cozy nest
Your stove-pipe hat wonld suit us best.
When we grow up twill be our Joy,
Gophers and rodents to destroy;
Well tap their heads with gentle paw
Invite them mildly to our NAV.
By way of response, the Doctor says
in a note to- the editor, GAS two of
my valuable gopher kittens died with
in week, and as am a little short of
cats just now, having only one John
Thomas cat, and four others, the
anonymous madrigal, with its cater
wauling accompaniment, came oppor-
tunely to hand. Thanks

until the opening of this mornings

last night, on the occasion of Vivian's
farewell benefit. We have already
said our say in regard to Vivian's tall
ents, and those of Madame Muse and
Madame Reiffarth, and it is unneces-
sary to add anything in their praise.
Last night the programme of the pre-
vious entertainment was changed
almost entirely, a few features only
being retained by special request. The
songs and sketches were rendered with
their usual happy results, and at the
conclusion of the entertainment Mr..
Vivian took occasion to express his
entire satisfaction with his visit to Los
Angeles. May the company come and
gladden. us again with the coming of

The DFFERENcE.-As to the article of the Ar.
gus of Saturday last, under the above caption
we respectfully submit:
1st. That the chief actor in the scene OF
Several years ago took no exceptions, to onl
knowledge, to the report in question, but, on
the contrary, accepted the same in the humorous
spirit in which it was written
3D. That there was nothing in the report re-
fiecting upon the character of anyone, and in
the scale of decorum, the production was mod
el of perfection, compared with the loathsome
effuson of the Argus.
Sd. The author Of the report had nothing to
do with the "insulting note,' and never knew
of it until the Argus mentioned it,
4th. We didn't publish the report at all-it
was done by another man.
Finally, the Argus put up a puppet in the
character of the Insulting note author then
fails away at it, Ia Don Quixotte fighting wind
mills. Probably the Argus, under the impor-
tunities of "The Woman in Black" soured by
the vibrations of envy and disappointment, con-
jured up the obnoxious article in fit of despair,
and the least could be done to obtain relief.
If this is not 50, then it might be well for that
delectable sheet, and its selfish crew, to reniem-
Der that some folks never take offtnse for not
being invited where they are not expected. while
others do, and this.
The last get mad and show their temper;
TIE former don't, but let it pass.
