why Men smoke.

No habit adopted by a whole race of
man, indeed by all races of men, but
must have a rdison d'etre. The dhu-
deem of the Irishman, the chibOuk of
the Asiatic, the calumet of the Indian,
the cigar of the white American, would
not exist simultaneously on every par.
of the globe, if in the use of tobacco
there did not slumber some spell of
great potency over men. The lazy nan
it seems to make lazier; the nervous
man, it makes more nervous; the brain
worker ii inspires, and on the artist it
bestows visions of beauty. All lectur-
ing against ii has proved vain. The
habit spreads with population over
Australia and Polynesia, and in a
couple of centuries from now smoking
will be as universal as eating. 1t be-
hoOves us, then, to see that something is
done to insure the rehabilitation of the
better qualities of tobacco. which seem
deteriOrating so fast. Manila is ceas-
ing to produce even a decent cheroOt,
tobacco culture dying out there like
wine culture i'm Madeira. One thing is
certain, that the substitution of the
cigarette for the cigar is exceedingly
dangerous.

The wttehery Of Manner.

Almost every man can cite scores of
cases, within his knowledge, where
pleasing manners have made the for
tunes of lawyers, doctors, divines, mer-
chants, and, in short, men in every
walk of life. Raleigh flung down his
laced coat in the mud for Elizabeth to
walk on, and got for his reward a proud
Queens favor. The politician who has
this advantage easily distances all rival
candidates, for every voter he speaks
with becomes his friend. The tones in
which he asks for pinch of snuff are
often more potent than the logic of a
Webster or Clay. Polished manners
have often made scoundrels successful,
while the best of men, by their hardness
and coldness, have done themselves in
caleulable injury; the she'll being so
rough that the world could not believe
there was precious kernel within
Civility is to man what beauty is to a
woman. Ii captivates people iRStdafer,
while the opposite quality exeites as
quick prejudice against him. lt Is
real ornament, worth more as a means
of winning favor than the finest jewels
ever worn. The gruffest man loves TO
be appreciated, and it is often the sweet
smile of a woman, which we think in
tended for US alone, that bewitehes our
heart, and lays Us at the feet Of her
whom we afterwards marry.

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Reautiful faces are those that wear
II matters but little il dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
beautiful eyes are those that show.
Like crystal psnes where hexrth-fires glow,
beautiful thoughts that burn below.
beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterances prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment, the long day through.
beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God wills it 80.
beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens OF homely care,
With patient grace and daily prayer.
beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness.
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess

Beautiful goal, with race well won,
Beautiful rest with work well done
beautiful graves. where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lie dec
Over worn-out hands, o beautiful sleep,

which was two centuries after the
Moors had left the country. The pres
ent fastidiousness dates from time
when letters, as well as morals, began
to degenerate; a period in literature
which is, oddly enough, as Mr.. Mat
thew Arnold may think, designated
''Culturismo" which would probably,
by its admirers, be translated, "cul-
ture;" a period during which it was
thought well to stimulate an over sem
sibility of emotion and an over-reiine-
ment of expression. This grew into
efi'eminacy and ended in absolute deca-
dence. These influences have, unfor-
tunately, never ceased to have sway in
Portugal. Among the prose writers of
the present day are many unmanly
sentimentalists, or rhetorieians; and
any true poetieal utterance in the land
of Camoens and Ferreira, of Miranda
and Bernardes, is rare, if not altogether
absent.-Ldtoache' TrdreIs in Portugal

Fable of DiscoRtentmeRt.-A canary
and a gold fish had their lot thrown to-
gether in the same room. One hot day
the master of the house heard the fish
complaining of his dumb condition, and
envying the sweet voice of his cOmpan-
ion overhead. "Oh, wish could sing
as sweetly as my friend up there :"
whilst the canary was eyeing the in
habitant of the globe. "How cool it
looks wish my lot was there ,''"So,
then, it shall be-" said the master, and
forthwith placed the fish in the air and
the bird in the water; whereupon they
saw their folly, and repented of their
discomfort. or which the moral is
sooner drawn than practised-let every
man he content in the state which
Providence mas placed him, and believe
that it is what is best fitted for him.

Little Pedro.-Pedro is little Italian
boy, who lives in Chicago. When
first knew him, he was roaming about
from house to house, playing ON the
fiddle, and singing.
Sometimes kind persons gave him
money, and then he always looked
happy. But many times he got nothing
for his music, and then he was very sad;
for he lived with a cruel MASTER, who
always beat him when he came home
at night without a good round sum.
e One day last spring, he had worked
very hard: but people were 50 busy
moving or cleaning house, that, when
night came. he had very little money.
lie felt very tired: so he went home
with what he had.
But his cruel master, without stop
ping to hear II word from the little fell
low, gave him IA whipping, and sent
him out again. He came to my gate,
long after had gone to bed. and
played and sang two or three songs /;
but lre did not sing very well, FOR he
was too tired and sleepy. $500

And a Little Child Shall Lead Them.
in old days there were angels. who
came and took men by the hand and
led them away from the City of De-
struction. We see no white winged
angels now. But yet men are led away
from threatening destruction. A hand
is put into theirs which leads them
forth gently towards calm and bright
land, so that they look no more back
ward and the hand may be little
child's.

johnny. ut don't make any matter !;

"What is worth doing at all is worth

little boy whose mother had taught him
this proverb. He was poor boy, and
hired as an errand-boy by a merchant.
He tOoks pains to do everything well.
This pleased the merchant. and he
gave him something better to do, ad-
vancing him, as he grew Older, from
errand-boy to under-elerk, then to
head-clerk. and finally admitted him

The Boys RoOm.-We wish, especi-
tally to urge upon mothers the prOpri-
ETY. of giving up to the boys, as soon
as they reach the age of twelve or four
teen, one room mot a bedchamber), for
whose reasonably good order they
shall be responsible, and which they
shall consider wholly their own. The
floor should be uncarpeted, of oiled
wood the furniture of the same mate
rial. Let it he papered, curtained, dec
Grated according TO the boysOwn fancy;
if the taste is bad. they will be inter-
ested after awhile in correcting it.
There should be plain bookcases, a
big solid table in the center, by all
means an open fire, and room after that
for JOe's printing-press, or Charley's
box of tools, or Sans cabinet of min
erals for chess and checker boards,
or any other game which is deemed
proper. To this room the boys should
be allowed to invite their friends, and
learn how to be hospitable hosts even
to the extent of an innocent little feast
now and then. Father. mother. and
sisters should refrain from entering it
except as guests; and our word for it,
they will be doubly hOnored and well
coined when they do come.

AN ENGLISH VISITOR.

On Tuesday last we had the pleasure
of a visit from Mr.. John Wilde, one Of
the directors of the Eberhardt & Aurora
Company, from London, a highly edu-
Gated mining expert and a very pleasant
gentleman. He has been here about a
month, and has devoted his entire time
to examining the mines and looking after
all other matters pertaining to the inter
ests of the company, SO that when he re-
turns to England. he can in~telligently ex-
plain to his constituency all details con
nected with their valuable property in
White Pine. He stated that he was very
agreeably disappointed in the appearance
of the mines, both as regards quantity
and quality, and had supposed, previous
to his visit here, that the ore was in
pockets, and was not prepared to see
such vast chambers of ore as were pre-
sented to his view. He also stated that
he found everything about the mines,
mill and all other departments, conducted
with great energyand economy. He was
profuse in his praise of Superintendent
Frank Drake, for the able manner in
which the affairs of the company have
been conducted during his administra-
ton. and could see no room for improve
ment in any Of the workings. Capt.
Drake requested hiscompany to send out
the best man they had, for the purpose
of examining their property, that he
might report intelligently to the stock
holders. WI. Wilde was the gentleman
selected for this purpose. and we think
his report will greatly astonish our Eng
lish friends, for their property here is
much better than their most sanguine
expectations had ever hoped for. Since
this company purchased the Eberhardt
q Aurora property, the mines have
yielded about three millions of dollars.
but through bad luck, and a portion of
the time through the worst management
that could well be imagined, the stock
holders have received but little of these
immense earnings. Since April last the
mill of this company has turned out
about 800, 600 per month in bullion, and
the company are now enabled to declare
monthly dividends. Mr.. Wilde thinks the
company will close down the mill about
the first of January next, and not at
tempt to haul ore during the severe
Winter months. All the available force
that can be put to work will be placed in
the mines, aud vigorous development
will be made in the different workings.
Mr.. Wilde leaves here the first of the COM
ing week for a short visit to California,
and from thence to London. We wish
him q pleasant journey back to his home,
and would be pleased to have more of
England's mining men come among US,
for in no other way can they be con-
WINGED of the great mineral wealth of this
section.

confessed that she hadlived with La Page
in Canada as his wife; that La Page as
saulted and ravished and left for dead her

fastened upon him, he will be taken to
Vermont and tried for the murder Of Miss

Run OvER.-By letter from Jas. It.
Mathewson, at Eureka, we learn that the
train leaving that place on Wednesday
evening for Palisade, and when about
four miles out. the train ran over q man
lying on the track aud cut him in two.
The train was Immediately slowed, and
parties went to the assistance of the man,
when they discovered that he was dead
and his body quite cold and stiff. 1t is
thought by some that the man had been
killed and his body laid on the track
~purposely.
JOCKEY CLUB.-On the goth instant
some thirty of the principal business
men of Cherry Greek met and organized

EDWARD WILLIAMS, the man of whom
we made mention last week as acting
strangely and in an insane manner, was
taken to the hospital. and after a little
medical attention. was pronounced all

grateful wretch if he ever forgets the
kind treatment he received at the hands
of Deputy Sheriff Morton, for he watch
ed and cared for him like O brother.
PACIFIC MINE.-This property is To-
Gated at Cherry Greek, and is owned by
J. II. Roberts, Joseph Potts. E. Butler
and John G. Scott. They have run a
tunnel 400 feet on the ledge, at the end
of which the depth from the surface is
200 feet. The ore body is large and very
rich. All the indications point to its be-
coming a valuable property. The com
pany have just had some of their ore
worked at the Geneva Company's mill,
which yielded 1925 per ton.
GENEVA CONSOLIDATED. This company
have added six more stamps to their
present crushing capacity, and will keep
the mill constantly running during the

luck, for we. in common with many
others here. received by last Wednesdays
stage a brace each of ducks, which were
very fine. For the whole outfit who re-
ceived birds, we return to these gentle
men our thanks; and, On their return,
should they have more than they know
what to do with. they can duplicate their
first presents. HI
For THE EAsT.-Charles Marvis, for a
long time one of the amalgamators at the
Eberhardt & Aurora Company's mill,
leaves this morning for the Eastern
States. His friends and fellow-workmen
regret to lose him, but as he intends to
better his condition with a better-half,.
they say may good luck attend him.
