CorToN GIN AND SAW MILL BURNT.
We learn from reliable source that
the cotton gin and saw mill of the
Johnson brothers, situated on the
East fork Of Brushy Creek in this
County, were burnt after sunrise on
Sunday morning last. The cause Of
the fire Is unknown. but it is generally
supposed to be the work of M incendl.
ary, else the fire WOULD have taken
place soon III the night. The loss to
the Messrs. johnson is estimated at
50. 600; $500 for the buildings and
81 500 for the machinery.

Some men are never contented until
they go to extremes. If that Ken

and been satisfied with calling the
Judge liar eighty times, he might
have been an able bodied, cheerful
man to-day. But instead OF practic.
ing moderation, he called him liar
eighty-one times, aud now the sur.
geons are trying to replace his nose,
which was knocked clean through his
head.

The Bliss of Marriage.

Says the New York Hebrew Lea
der: "Time whirls us along the
down-hill path of lite with the veloci-
ty OF a locomotive; but we have one
comfort---we can make love on the
road. What the negro preacher said
of Satan may be said of love.
"Where he finds weaker place dere
he creaps in There is a warm cor
ner in even the oldest heart; and
somebody, if that somebody can on
ly be found, was made expressly to
fill it. Thousands of both sexes live
and die unmarried simply for want
of proper introduction to one an
other. What an absurdity! There
is not woman nor man of any
age who might not find a suitable
partner by using the proper means.
The fact is that affection is smother
ed, choked down, subdued and par
alyzed by the world. society at
taches ball and chain to the natur-
al feelings OF the heart. The far girl
with her bosom running over with
the purset love for a worthy object
must take as much pains to conceal
the fact as if it were a deadly sin,
and heaven had not implanted with
in our bosoms the tender spark and
babe US ito love and be loved Is
this natural? No, it is artificial.
Why should innumerable marriages
be prevented by chilling rules and
penalties? Nature is modest, but
she is not starched-up prude!
Look at the birds. There are no
old bachelors and old maids among
them. The hearts that tlutter under
their feather jackets follow the in
stinct of love, and they take to bill
ing and cooling without the slightest
idea that courtship should be for
NAL affair. Why should there be
forlorn bachelors and disappointed
old maids, and lonely widows and
widowers among the unteathered
any more than the Gathered bipeds?
Oceans of happiness are lost to both
sexes every year simply because
parties who wish to be married are
not permitted by etiquette to make
the fact known. These unfortuuates
might very properly say to the hap
py married folks, as the frogs said
to the boys who were pelting
them with stones, This may be fun
to you, but tits death to us.

How TO GROW FAT.-If any one
wishes to grow fieshy, a pint of milk
taken before retiring at night will
soon cover the scrawniest comes.
Altogether nowadays we see great
many fleshy females, there are many
lean and lank ones who sigh for the
fashionable measure of plumpness,
and who would be vastly improved
in health and appearance could their
figures be rounded with good solid
flesh. Nothing is more coveted by
thin woman than full figure, and
nothing will so rouse the ire and
provoke the scandal of one of those
"clipper builds" as the conscious
ness of plumpness in rival. In
cases of fever and summer compaint,
milk is now given with excellent re-
sults. The idea that milk is ''tever-
ish'' has exploded, and is now the
"physician's" great reliance; brings
through typhoid patients. or those
in too low state to be nourished by
sold food. 1t is mistake to scrimp
the milk pitcher. Take more milk
and buy less meat. Look to your
milkman; have large sized, we'll
filled milk pitchers on the table each
meal, and you will also have sound
flesh and light doctors bills.

McKINNEYvILLE, August Is, "a.
We made trip to the SODA
Springs, on the old Georgetown
trail, about ten miles from our
growing town. Mounting our gal
liant steeds-one of assinine shape
we assembled through beautiful
groves of large sugar pine, tamsrack
and frs, passing three small lakes,
surrounded by high mountains,
covered with snow. Getting to the
Summit, through John McKinney's
pass, we stopped to admire the
grand and glorious scenery. All
around us for miles and miles, bar
rem, granite mountains, rising in
terraces, and where rock has split,
huge trees had grown up. To the
left, eternal snow on the unaccount-
able peaks. Down below our feet,
more than a thousand feet, we see
the Rubicon river, branch Of the
American river, with grand cas-
cades, winding its way through
green oasis. Down, down, down
we go, to the right, to the left,
through manzanita bushes, till we,
after more than miles travel, find
ourselves at the river. Now through
a beautiful grove a mile long, then
over large granite boulders, we at
last reach our destination.
In small valley, covered with
flowers, large log house has been
built, where accommodation for
few travellers can be found. In
front OF the log house, about one
hundred yards distant, are the
Springs. The water is chalybian
or iron, containing magnesia, sui
phur, salt and carbonic acid. The
iron oxide has coated the inside of
the spring blood red, and the whole
distance to the river it looks like
stream of blood running from
slaughter house. Drink, drink,
drink! You cannot get enough,
after you are first accustomed to it's
peculiar taste. and it improves your
appetite. 1t would astonish you
Silverites to see the quantity of grub
consumed at a meal, and three
square meals day. 1 believe it
would make Judge Pease blush
seeing the way they bolt the hash.
A family from Georgetown has
dairy here, and plenty of fresh
milk, cream and sweet butter, help
the digestion. Now, don't smack
your lips; your chalk and water
will have to satisfy you, till you can
come to this Mock Paradise (Ranch-
er's name, Mock; and he does not
feed you on mock turtle, but on
good and we'll cooked food. One
daughter of the two rusticating here
used to be Paganini on the fiddle,
but this year she has forgotten her
instrument, and only plays casino.
Modoc, the Silver City padagogue,
seemed quite taken with this rustic
beauty, but he went away single,
anyhow.
Higher up the glen there are other
springs, and deer and bear make
their visits to slack their thirst and
improve their digestive organs. on
the river there is a boat for the use
OF visitors, and they enjoy ride
nightly.
will now only add that we re-
turned here in good health, after
three days sojourn, and wish you
and your readers the same.

MErEoRIC DIsPLAy.-Esriy yesterday morn
ing says. the Eureka Sentinel, of the l2th the
heavens presented an exhibition Of great
brilliancy. and for the space Of about half an
hour the spectacle bordered on the sublime.
Myriads Of shooting stars and flaming mete-
ors necessarily dsrted athwart the dark blue
vault of heaven, falling at times like snow
flakes, producing phosphorescent lines along
their course intermingled with showers of
small meteors that darted forth at intervals.
The course pursued was from the southea st
to the northwest. some of the luminous bodies
remaining in view for several seconds, emit
ting stresmsaof light which sent forth vivid
scfntillstions presenting various bright col
ors. The exhibition continued for about two
hours, the stars seeming to be in continual
motion, falling like locusts. The phenomen-
on Is attributed 70 the present disturbed state
e. OF the atmosphere. aud the late comet will un-
doubtedly be held responsible for this. as it
mas been for other strange atmospheric occur
rences since its discovery. Various theories
are advanced ~ 70 the cause Of these neteoric
displays As explained by Professor Olmsted.
the meteors probably emanate from nebul-
.9Ns body which revolves around the sun in an
siiipHcsl orbit, the aphelion of which meets
the orbit Of the earth at the time of the an
nual exhibitlqIs. and that through each the
myriads Of spall cosmical bodies are irregu-
isriy dispersed." The year 1883 Is memora-
PIE Tor the most magnificent display on record.
