sweetly, and was just wondering who
she was, when she came over and
whispered in his ear, "On I'll fix
you for this, old man! Then he

SlLVER.PAVED STREETS.

Our principal streets, says the Vir-
ginia City Nev.) Enterprise, is being
macadamized with refuse ore taken
from the minesin early days, and be-
ing coated with rich ore that has been
year after year sifted down upon them
from the ore wagons, are now ev-
erywhere more or less argentiferous.
Indeed, there is not the slightest
stretch Of imagination in saying that
we never take step in Tie town but
we are walking on silver-that our
streets are literally covered with sill
YER. While speaking Of this fact a
few days ago, a man bet his friend
the price of the assaying and the ci-
gars that he would take lump OF
mud off the wheel of bus then stand
ing in front OF them and would get
out Of it precious metals to over s.
per tor. An ounce or two Of mud
was taken from the wheel Of the We
hicle ard placed in the hands Of an
asssyer, who was not told where the
sample was obtained, and who no duobt
supposed that he was dealing with de-
composed ore or vein matter from ore
of our mines. The assay was made,
and the assayer's certificate showed
that the sample contained: Silver,
1854; gold, $2.32; total, $9.S6.-
After this we may put on airs, even
though our streets are villalnously
muddy occasionally, for the very mud
on our boots contain gold and silver.

FACTS AscERTAlNED BY 4 BALLOON
.sT.-The balloon ascent 0. NM Croce
Spinnelli and Sivel has yielded many
facts of interest. Among these the
following may be mentioned : The ele-
vatioa reached was $500 meters. 49,
They found that the temperature
steadily diminished, except when pass
ing through clouds, and finally reached
% degrees c. At f,500 meters crys-
tails of ice were floating between them
and glistening in the sunshine, The
lines in the solar spectrum, indicating
the presence of yapor Of water, disap-
peared when they reached the greatest
altitude, thus proving that this vapor
belongs to our atmosphere, and not to
the sun. At 5000 meters, sensations
Of discomfort were removed by the
respiration Of a mixture Of forty parts
Of oxygen and sixty of nitrogen. At
600 meters the oxygen was increased
IS per cent, and in each instance the
physical and mental weakness was re-
stored, and the sky, which previous to
the inhalation, was dark hue, again
became blue. NJ Croce spinnelli has
thus removed an old error, and has
demonstrated that the blacllness of
the armament observed at great
heights is due solely to the effects Of
fatigue on the LervoGs system.

IT is a mistake to imagine that only
the violent passions, such as ambition
and love, can triumph over the rest.
Idleness, languid as she is, often
masters them all; she, indeed, inau-
ences all our designs and actions, and
insensibly consumes and destroys both
passions and virtues.
