a rally in the market which carried prices very gen.
orally to the highest figures of the day and the

A Novel i>Ockct-Picca.

Many years ago, the fine steamer Henry
Clay, which ran between New York and
Albany, when on her down-trip, and just
opposite the beautiful Village Of Yonkers,
was found to be on fire. The steamer was
Immediately headed for the shore; but not
withstanding its nearness to land, and the
heroic efforts made to rescue the passengers,
many lives were lost. Among the victims
was Stephen Allen, ESD, an aged man of
the purest character, formerly Mayor of
New York, beloved and esteemed by all
who knew him. In his pockct-book was
found a printed slip, OF which the following
is copy
Keep good company or none.
Never be idle.
lfyour hands cannot be usefuly employed, i,
cultivate your mind
Always speak the truth
Make few prou4i-es.

The World Without Sunday.

Think how the abstraction of the Sunday
would enSiaye the working classes, with
whom we are identified. Think of labor
thus going on in one mon0tonous and eter-
nal cycle, limbs forever on the rack, fingers
forever straning, the brow forever droop-
ing. and the loins forever aching, the rest
less mind forever schcming. Think of the
beauty it would eilace, the merry -hcarted-
ness it would extinguish, the giant strength
it would tame, Of the resources of nature it
would crush, the sickness it would bring
of the projects it would wreck, the groans
it would extort, the lives it would immediate,
and the cherries graves it would premature
ly dig. See them toiling and moiing and
iretting and grinding and hewing and wcay-
ing and spinning, sowing and gathering,
moving and rcaping, raising and building,
digging and planting, and striving and
struggling, in the garden and in the field,
in the granary and in the barn, in the fac
tory and in the mill, in the warehouse and

a SKULL, deeply impregnated with silver,
has been found in Il mine in Nevada, 500
feet below the surface. 1t is supposed to be
prehistoric, and to have lain their thousands
of years. A scientific writer in Boston
thinks that it proves this plannet to be
million years old The skull is coated over
with shell of grey mineral matter, largely
composed of silver, Sufficient quantity of
that mineral being present, to make the
crust assay at the rate OF $G5 ton. 1t is
of peculiar shape, though indisputably
human, being very short from base to sum-
nit, and exceedingly broad between the
ears, which description shows that it has
several points in common with the skulls Of
prehistoric men discovered in Europe. If
there is any truth in the story Of the an
tiquity of this FOSSIL it will speedily become
ano bject of worldwide interest.

ONE of the most valuable mineral pro-
ductions of Nevada is borax, which Is found
in the marshy lands about the sinks Of riv-
ers, most plentiful in Esmeralda County.
At Ragtown, near the sink of Carson River.
works are erected for the separation Of the
bonx from the crude material with which
it is mixed, the whole being hauled from
extensive deposits in the marshes about
twenty miles east of that place. There it
is to be found lying in detached masses over
thousands of acres. 1t is usually combined
with soda, magncSia, salt and other mine
rails Its separation Is effected by a series
Of settling watts, evaporation and chemical
processes Similar works are in operation
at Wadsworth, the raw material to supply
them being brought from Hot Springs, some
fifty miles east on the line Of the Central
Pacific Railroad

SO singuarly is man constructed, mental
ly, that any great calamity usually fails to
oyerpower him at first his mind instinct
lively seeks for comfort, and turns to the
consideration of the better side of affairs; it
is only after mature consideration of an al
most hopeless calamity that the mind grows
lespairing. Witness the scenes of the late
Chicago fre--the second great calamity be-
falling that most unfortunate city. Men,
who, five years ago, would have submitted
with comparative cheerfulness to their iney-
liable misfortune, now sink beneath the lash
Of unkind fate; for they know precisely the
length and breadth Of their tumble-they
have outlived the first rebound of hope from
despair, and despair obtains supremacy. As
commentary upon this singular trait of
humanity comes the anecdote Of man who
fell into vat Of boiling lard and got out
alive; lie says that it was not an unpleasant
sensation after the first moment, but he
thought what Il mighty quecr-shaped daugh-
nut he would make Yet that man must
carry deep, unSightly sears to the grave,
and wonders, now, that he could ever have
seen ludcrous side to the terrible calamity
which has ruined him for life.
