A MIME or SwExTNEss. .-- Generally
when we hear Of rich strikes it is in
the gold or silver line, but this time it
turns out TO be honey, pure and sweet.
A few days since, 90 the workmen on
the tunnel at Cajor Pass were hauling
over some rocks they came across de-
posit Of honey, and taking pole and
running il into the mountain were sur
prissd to find no bottom. They got q
long pole, soma twenty feet in length,
and were unable TO touch bottom with
that. Upon Withdrawing the pole the
honey began to run out, and soon tubs,
buckets, and two barrels were filed,
and still it flowed. Some parties came
in town and loaded up with barrels and
propose to make q business of it. They
put in O charge of powder and blew ofI
q portion of the rock, which disclosed
tons upon tons Of honey. Our infor-
mant states that after exploring it from
below 10 whore the bees were found to
enter, Il was found 10 be about one
fourth Of q mile, and il 10 his opinion
that the whole cavity is filled with hon.
ey. BE estimates over 100 toms in sight
and believes that 600 tons would moi

deposit ID upequalled by any ever found.
According 10 the above estimate il
would take every barrel end hogshead
in Gan BernRrdino to hold it.--Son

mournfulness when child isrthe actor
in the usually hopeless endeayor.. just
before the close of the last session Of
the public schools in ST., Louis, an in
cident took place which, as an illustra-,
ton, is more than touching. AT one
of the schools numbers of the pupils
were in the habit of bringing O lunch
con with them, which at noon they ate
together. Among those that did NOT
go home for dinner, 9the teacher in A
particular room noticed little girl who,
always sat looking wistfully at hsr play
mates when they went out with their
luncheon, but who never Brought any
herself. The child was always plainly
but neatly clad, and one OF the. closest
students in school hours. This odd
action of the child lasted for some time,
when one day the teacher noticed that
the little tAing had apparently brought
her dinner with her. " aga,g ~
