received from California in 1878
relative to their mineral wealth. -

states that, with the proper machinery
silver mineral rock could be made la

There is more gypsum than can be
utilized in the United States for half

IL HE DEAD?


!
Bret Harte was lecturing in Penn
sylysnia a short time ago. At one
Iof his appointments he felt very
much depressed. 1t is pecu!iarity
of humorists, we are told, to be nm
accountably melancholy and gloomy
st times. Harte was in this mood
now. One of the committee went in
back of the scenes TO see him, and
the depressed humorist welcomed
him as a gleam of unusual good sun
shine. They shook hands-Harte
earnestly, and the committeeman de-
corously.
"Mr. Harte." he said, gravely, ayou
will find this an unusually healthy
CITY,"
"Alir said the pleased humorist.
aYes. The death rate is only one
day."
At this jnncture Harte took the
committee man by the arm and hur-
riedly asked:
as he deady'
"Deadr' calculated the committee
man. 'Who deadg"
"Why the man for to-day was
the grave reply.
The committee man stared with all
his might into the immovable face ol
the lecturer.
isn't there a clerk here, or Regis
trar, or Coroner, or something like
that, of whom you could find out
whether a man for this day had
died?'.
"Why, yes, / suppose SO" slowly
replied the committee man.
"Would you be sogood, then, as to
find out, and before | commence the
lecture, if possible, whether that man
is dead? If he is dead, then l am
all right, for am to leave the city
early tomorrow morning; but if he
isn't dead l can not help but feel un-
easy about myself, and / am not well
tonight"
The kind-hearted committee m IN
Immediately hurried away to get the
information.
When in his room at the -hetef
that night servant told him gen.
tleman wished nim to step down
stairs IN the hall, as he wanted to see
him. Mr.. Harte went down, and
there met the committee man.

you," he said, 'but | could not get
