We trust our readers will not be carried
away by tho stories that come to them, through
tho telegraph and by correspondents, Of the
discoveries of mines of silver and gold in our
Western Territories. In our younger days we
read of the valleys of diamonds and noun.
tains of precious stones, and the strange gifts
of supernatural beings, who, by wave of the
wand, could transform the hovel into q daz-
zling palace. We do not mean to depreciate
at all the wealth of the Territories which
skirt the base of the Rocky Mountains. When
we are told of discoveries that offer millions
and millions to the nesdy adventurer who de.
fes the perils offorest and stream and the noun
tain path to seek the treasure we are scep-
teal It is very certain that no gold is ever
found in the world without digging for it
The mines of the West are to be worked as WI
work our wheat fields. The gain will not be
greater to the miner than to the farmer. The
effect of these stores-like those of the great
diamond mine discoveries some years ago,
which were sold to credulous English inves-
tors-is to inspire sentiment of speculation,
to induce easy minded people to put their
wealth into the hands of companies, and to
repeat on larger scale the iniquities of the
Emma Mine and the thousands Of other
schemes in gold, silver and oil that have long
eince been abandoned.
We have sometimes thought that it would
be wise for the government to adopt gen.
eral policy in respect to its mines. These
deposits should be regarded not as the prey
of the first Spectator who pre-empts them. but
ms the treasure of the nation, given to it by
God for benefcent purpose 1t the govern
ment, for instance, had every mine carefully
examined and its value determined officially,
so that oil the world might know just what il
was, there would be no opportunities for
swindling, either ct home or abroad. We
shall be glad TO hear that the "Great
Bonanza in Nevada is worth 81, 500, DOC, 900.
We do not believe il, and our advice to those
of our readers who believe that by investing
in its shares they will certainly attain great
fortune is to save their money and add to
their wealth, not by investments in the narra-
tives of newspaper correspondents, but by
honest industry and thrift.

PRESIDENT MAcMAHoN's MINISTRY contin-
ues to gain some advantages over the opposi-
tonists in the Assembly on the question of
the provisions and principles of the consti.
tutional bill. The end is not yet, however.
The question of organizing the government
without proclaiming the Republic will come
up for debate in the legislative body to-day.
This will be likely to test the strength and
cohesion of the different parties in decisive

IL Am Sick Again.

II the President had any just cause for soy
ing in 1873, in his inaugural address, that he
had been abused and slandered worse than any
other man known in our political history,
what ought he not now to say? The censure
he had then received ought not to have been
very painful to him, particularly when his
wounds had been salved by his triumphant
reelection and by on act of Congress doubling
his salary. Many persons imagine that General
Grant is the luckiest man in our history, and
that it was hardly in good taste to complain
of his woes when his great competitor for the
Presidency had only few months before been
driven into his grave by assaults to which
those upon Grant were trifes. The treat
ment Mr.. Greeley received from some
of the members of the party he had
helped to create and from some of the
ungrateful representatives of the race he had
helped to free was simply infamous and will
not soon be forgotten by the nation. No par
tisanship could excuse these cruelties. II
General Grant had said, "Mr. Greeley is the
worst abused man in our political history, and
I am the man who has been most richly re-

truth.
But now the President really has good cause
for complaint. He has not been well treated
in the last two years. The people have with
drawn from him much of the implicit conf
dence they formerly reposed in his common
sense, and have, by immense majorities, re-
corded their condemnation of his acts They
have broken, though they have not yet de-
stroyed, the ring with which the Senate sur
rounded him, and have placed the House in
control of the opposition. They have, without
respect to party, expressed their indignation at
his course In Louisiana. They have censured
him for his third term designs, and as the Cab
met event back on him" in the New Orleans
affair, so the Vice President has rebuked him
for his disregard of popular opinion Finally,
to form the climax, Andrew johnson has been
elected to the Senate. Of all his misfortunes
this is probably the one which the President
feels most keenly, and when he heard of the
action of the Tennessee Legislature he might
have said, with Hamlet, "Would. had met
my dearest foe in heaven ere ever had seen
this day." But what he is reported to have
said is equally expressive, though not SO
Shakespearian. II am sick again! the
President is said to have exclaimed, and we
must say that he is not likely to feel much
better when Mr.. Johnson begins to administer
the medicine.

postponed the Farewell Address; and if
Grant had the same excuse for remaining in
Office his fellow citizens would respect it.
But there is this remarkable difference and
contrast-that whereas Washington was per-
suaded by the unanimous wish OF his country
men to remain in Office against his own in
clination, Grant could retire with their equally
unanimous approval. He is, therefore, at full
liberty to follow the spirit and not the strict
letter of Washingtons example Hamilton
asked Washington to ''obey the voice of your
country when he first contemplated retire
ment but Grant would ''obey the voice of
his country" by speedy resignation. Wash.

A Remarkable Clock.

A strange clock belonged to Hindoo
prince. In front Of the clocks disk was
a gong swung upon poles, and near 1t was
pile of artificial human limbs. The
pile was made up Of the same number Of
parts necessary to constitute twelve per-
feet bodies, but all lay heaped together
in apparent confusion. When the hands
of the clock indicate the hour of one, out
from the pile crawled just the number OF
parts needed to form the frame OF one
man. par. coming to part with quick
click, and, when completed, the figure
sprang up, seized mallet, and, walking
up to the gong, struck one blow. This
done he returned to the pile. and fell te
pieces again. When two o'clock came
two men arose and did likewise; and a
the hour Of noon and midnight the entire
heap sprang up. and, marching to tn
gong, struck, one after the other. M
blow, making twelve in all; then. return
inc. fell to pieces as before.

The Invisible Children.

1t is not when your children are with
YOU; it is not when you sec and hear
them that they are most to you; 1t IS
when the sad assemblage is gone; it IS
when the daisies have resumed their
growing again in the place where the
little form was laid +; it is when you have
carried your dead out and said farewell,
and come home again and day and night
are full Of sweet memories; it IS when
summer and winter are full Of touches
and suggestions of them, it is when you
cannot look up towards heaven without
thinking Of them, or look down towards
yourself and not think of them 1t l.
when they have gone out Of your arms
and are living to you only by the power
of Imagination, that they are the mostt
you. The invisible children are the real
est children-the children that touch oul
hearts as no hands of flesh ever coult
touch them.
