A brilliant Engtneering Feat.

The Placer Herald Of July 18th contains a
detailed account OF the construction Of the
work. = the Auburn Gravel Mining Company,
three miles northeast OF Auburn, and the great
SUCCESS In hydraulic engineering achieved by
T. schussler, who has brought many Of the
most important and difficult hydraulic enter
prIses on tho Pacific Coast TO a successful
completion. Amongst these the Spring VAL
ley Water Works and tho Virginia City and
Gold Hill Water Works figure us the foremost,
the latter, especially, being an extremely din
cult undertaking,rc requiring seven miles OF pipe
to bear between ] 100 and 500 feet pressure.
After its successful completion, It was acknowl.
edged by the best American aud European eu-
cheering Journals to be one OF the boldest

pronounced impractlcablc by several engi-

What Camc Of Trying to Save Three
Cent Postage Stamp.

During tho latter days of tho sessions
of Congress IN old gentleman visited
Washington to arrange some matters in
( relation TO q patent. One day, while
visiting the Capitol ,shc made the acauaint.
3 nncc of one Of the employees, who showed
him much attention and devoted several
hours to conducting him through that
stupendous ediGcc and directing his attcn-
ton to all its various beauties and attrac-
lions. Tho old gentleman was complete.
ly captivated by tho young man and
formed for, him the highest attachment
Congress adjourned and the younp man
returned to his homo in Ohio; but the
old gentleman remained in tho city few
days and then visited Baltimore. While
there Inc was taken Ill and Immediately
hastened back to Washington. Growing
worse, he resolved to make his will, and,
having mono but very distant and I'M
known relatives, he determined to be-
stow his wealth upon tho young mun for
whom Inc had formed 80 great an attach
mont. Desiring his presence and having
his address, Inc wrote few lines giving
: information of his health and requesting
u visit from him without delay, rs Inc
had gratifying surprise in store for
him.
Tho letter was incloscd and stamped
with q postage stamp, tho only ono hc
had, which was slightly torn In scparat-
ing 1t from tho pockct-boOk, to which it
unfortunately adhered. An acquaintance
md daily visitor was employed to mail
tho lotter, who called tho attention of tho
old gentleman to tho rigid adherence of
tho Postal Department to its own rules
In relation to mulilatcd stamps; but he
would not listen to tho suggestion, saying
tho stamp was genuine and had not been
tsed, and was as good as ever, and lie
would not waste It's value. Tho stamp
was accordingly used, and the letter duly
'mnilcd.
Now comes tho sequel. The letter
was detained here for postage, solely on
account Of the triiling mutilation referred
to, and the party to whom Il was addressed
was, in about four days, notified of tho dc.
tention, which notice was received six
days from the dato Of mailing tho letter
with tho torn stump. Tho following div
tho young man left his home, and, deem.
Ing the withheld letter Of no consequence,
without even carrying the postoflicc no.
tico or paying any attention to It. Ten
days subsequently he arrived Mt Washing
ton, and then REQUIRED to his memory the
detained letter, and ho wrote home
for the postofifco notification. On lis
arrival liz procured the letter, md In
much excitement Of mind FASTENED to the
hotel of tho old gentleman. Alas when
lie arrived he learned that his intended
ltcnefactor had been dead four days, and |
that tho old gentleman, not hearing from
Dr receiving tho wished-for visit, had first
Tclt hurt, then slightcd, and finally indig-
iant, and In TINT iramo of mind Ind made
Will IN favor Of poor old lady In bis
native state who Ind once done him an
lct OF Kindness. This was told him by
he lawyer who prepared tho will, and
gho was tho party That mailed the letter.

LOST Her CoNFIDENCE.-To the best of our
recollection, it was an Arkansas woman whose
husband was charged with criminal conduct, but
she didn't seem to mind it, and firmly declared
her husbands innocence. When the day of trial
arrived she sat in Court beside him, and moved
the jury to tears by arranging a ~ffty-cent bouquet
in the button-hole of his coat. The case was at
last opened, and the witnesses for the prosecution
called. There were thirty or forty of them; but
before half a dozen had testified, a mighty change
came over the face of the wife, and. getting right
up and addressing her remarks TO the bench, she
said:
sSce here, Judge; I'm satisfied, if you are.
Don't mind me-, Judge, get even. Just hold on
to him till called for, and if emmy woman wants
him. he's her'n, and no questions asked" Then,
turning to her husband, aud snatching the floral
tokens from his button-hole, she bitterly exclaim-
ed:
"Remember, from this time forward, my homes
4 den of ragin' lions, and you amt no Daniel"

ARADIcAL CHANGE.-Marriage quite frequently
makes a radical change in the contracting parties.
A counting young man finds one of his greatest
pleasures in accompanying his girl to church of a
Sunday evening, or if denied that enjoyment, he
gladly accepts the position of waiter on the out
side of the tabernacal until the services closes.
The wether does not affect him. He will wait as
patiently in the driving sleet as in the simmer
ing moonlight, and be as obllyious to the keen
cold of Winter as to the balmy air of Summer.
He may be drenched through to the skin or chilled
to the bone, but he notices neither. After mar
riage she thinks herself fortunate of a Sunday
evening if she can secure the company of a neigh
Dor going the same way, and reach home SO as TO
awake the devoted lover to inquire if he is going
to bed, or if he is going to sleep on that lounge
all night.

The BIGGEST SwindIe Yet.

This is essentially an age of brass, and
Impudence is its hero. Everything is pre-
tense. From Madam's painted cheek to
Monsieur's false check, life through all its
stages is, for the votaries of the world, a
constant effort to deceive. These efforts
are artistically based upon the existence of
something which has actual value and is
worth counterfeiting.
If gold mine is discovered, q dozen
others are Immediately invented; copy
rights of valuable inventions are initiated
with an imperceptible change of one letter
in the label; good cloth is replaced with
good Hooking shoddy, aud even butter is
made from the mud Of the Thames. Shall
We wonder that Impudence has gone 80 far
as to assume the religious role and get up a
stupendous swindle with false Christ
ianityf
We have seen, reprinted from Gen. D. II.
Hills Southern Home, spirited article
headed "The Gospel of Gush," in which
this subject is forcibly handled. By the
! word "Gush " the talented writer seems to
mean something like Standardization. The
Gospel of Christ is replaced by a sensa-
tional doctrine in which all vices for the
time being are conferred in one particular evil
real or imaginary, and all virtues realized
in one grand paroxysm of sympathy or in
dignation. Yet in thus setting aside the
elaborate system of Christian moral law
with its thousand we'll defined manifestations
of virtue and vice, the cunning innovators
have the audacity, while clarifying some
cheap philanthropy, and deifying some vile
passion, to claim to teach the actual Chris
tian faith, and to be the genuine Christian
Church.
Gen. Hill says this very palpable fraud
first took an aggravated form in the Adolf,
ton movement. 1t then soon became @
creed, or rather the vivifying principle Of
many creeds. Philanthropy for the poor
slave was the grand virtue which guaran.

The Sisters of Mercy.

We give place with pleasure to the fol-
lowing tribute from Father T. n. Burke to
that splendid Order, the Sisters of Mercy.
1t was delivered in the course of the annual
sermon in aid of the funds of the Mercy
Hospital in Cork, which, on a recent occa-
sion, was delivered by him. 1t was a mag
niicent effort in behalf of Christian mercy,
showing it's controlling Influence over the
actions of our Saviour Himself and it's
absolute necessity in the Church az the
perpetuation of His life and spirit. Speak
ing of the glorious Order which has made
works of mercy it's special vocation, he
sage:
When the patient is brought to the doors of
that hospital, the woman who receives him has
her veil of conservation on her head. She has
the signs of her state upon her, but, conse-
Grated nun as che is, che receives with equal
kindness, enriches with equal tenderness and
respects with equal geptleness the feelings of
| o-religionist and fellow-Catholic. No question
| that might agitate him is asked. He iE as
much at liberty there as if he was in the
sanctuary of his own home. No nsrrowness
| here-no matter how strong his religious'con
| victions may be, no narrowness of view inter-
| feres with her treatment of her patient. The
Protestant patient dies in that hospital with
| Iu0 6bSeuuduC0 WHICH his own CO0BCl0nC6 QlC-
tates to him to seek, or he RECEIVERS and goes
| forth from the hospital with only an additional
conviction in his heart, and that is that in o
question of mercy the Catholic Church knows
not Catholic nor Protestant, Jew nor Gentle
but is all to all.
1t is by such works and in such Orders
that men see what Catholicity is. They
are scandalized by the evil doings of many
so-called Catholics, and the sight of rea
Christian virtue at work in the persons o
true Catholics is necessary to counterbal
ance the bad effects thus wrought. TIL,
great majority of men will judge by tina
great rule of common sense laid down b.
Incarnate Wisdom BY their fruits you shall
know them.
Most of us, unfortunately, are not in
condition to convert people to the truth b,
the ediication derived from our conduct
The best thing we can, then, do is to give O
our means to support those establishment
where men will see the principles of tru
CathOlicity bearing their proper fruit @
mercy and holiness
Let us aid the Sisters of Mercy, the Sis
tiers of Charity, and all other active Order
in their manifold works of piety and yea
Then we can point to them, if any en-
Quirer after trQth should interrogate ur
and say There is Christianity as Catholic
understand it.

are sorry to hear that the financial condition
of this institution is such as to render an ap-
peal to the charity of the public absolutely
necessary. The Sisters in charge have time
and again asked for work for the inmates, but
this has never been given in sufficient quanti-
ties to make the House selfsupportiDg. Not
being able to secure work they are compelled
to ask for charity and, as affording to all an
opportunity of contributing according to their
means, Concert has been organized by some
charitable ladies, whose names appear in the
card on our hfth page. The Concert will be
under the direction of Professor Watts, and
will take place at st. Patrick's Hall on Mon.

won the great victory of establishing a Re-

added, 1T is not to enjoy things after the
