THE BABE IN THE Woops We have
- narrowing tale from Alpine. Last Sat-
urday veral ladies and gentlemen
assembled Silver Mountain Peak, rocky,
sky-kissing protuberance, and discount

When discovered he was pitiable look

ated, and sitting on the ragged edge"
Of precipitous declivity. just ready to

A CALlYoRN1A IKoN NINA fac
,sooths ago some old prospectors were
examining the foothills near Stoddard
Brothers mill, some seven miles due
East OF Wheatland. OH the border of
iuba county. wken they were struck BY
the peculiar character Of long, broken
ledge Of rock running up tho side and
over tho brow Of high hill. E1emin-
alton showed the rock to be very heavy.
and undoubtedly charged with mineral.
The ledge was uncovered and specimens
broken ost Of the rock and brought to
this city. Experts a: once pronounced
It to be the native iron ore OF q rich
quality. The attention o: several gen.
tlemcn Was called 70 the matter, and
they arranged for further examination
OF the hill, which showed the ledge as
spreading rapidly as it descended into
the bowels of the hill, and evidently at
It's base suallowing up nearly the whole
mountain.

The experiment of training young men
for sailors. now being made in NeS
York, is proving in every respect de-
cided success. The Commissioners of
Public Charities and Correction. who
originated the project. certainly deserve
great credit for having thus rescued
many young men from life in which
they were daily associated with vice.
Besides the moral good that has been
done, the cost of the whole equipment
Is not as much as would be .equired to
maintain the prisons which would other
wise be filed by those Who are in this
manner reformed or rescued from almost
certain ruin. The schoolship Mercury
arrived at Hart's Island recently after q
two weeks cruise down the Sound. All
the boys reported in good health and ex-
eellent spirits. The embyro mariners
are fast learning all the technicalities of
their profession. This great success has
very much encouraged those engaged in
promoting the good work of juvenile re-
formation, and it is proposed shortly to
enlarge the plan SO that q greater num-
Der of applicants may be received for
: similar training.

BATTLE IN THE CLouDs.-An Immense
battle picture is on exhibition in Sscra-
mento. which is the subject Of the fol
lowing notice in the Record Union: The
canvas is fifteen feet in hight and thirty
two in length. and contains almost a
countless number Of figures. giving an
accurate idea of the scene of the battle
and the location of the troops engaged at
q critical moment of the fight. In the
language of contemporary. lit is indeed
massive picture, including miles of
landscape; and whole brigades of troops
in action. At frsr view it presents most
animated and striking scene. The fore
ground is alive with a brilliant array of
mounted officers. surrounded by the
three arms of the service-cavalry, ar
tillery and infantry. OF to the right g
a mass of infantry, while in the distance,
as far as the eye can reach. soldiers in
action, nearly obscured by the smoke Of
their guns, may be seen. High in air
are the white cloudlets made BY explod-
ing shells 1t is easy to imagine from
this all the noise and confusion of q
great battle. and to feel that the artist
has reproduced fact"

Or the destinations of Belmont soci-
ETY., and the beauty of the place, tho
Courier discourses thus wise:
Without doubt, the greatest charm of
Belmont consists in the refinement of its
society, in the fine appearance, noble
generosity and manly bearing of its men.
and in the beauty, elegance and accom-
plishments of its women. We have an
abundance Of gentlemen here, whose ca
pacities qualify them to hold any posi-
ton in life, and with whom it is an honor
10 be able to say, II am acquainted with
them ;" and We have ladies also who
would grace q throne; queens of song.
We have queens, too, of beauty and in
telligence. Another prominent feature
charsct-rizing Belmont ought, perhaps,
to be mentioned. which is, that probably
no like city in the world appreciates
we'll filled purse better, and where there
are fewer Of them jus. nov, than in this
city of the mountains.

A BEAR in Court, created q sensation
in a New York Police Court last week.
A man, dressed in blue overslls. appeared
in front Of Police Headquarters with a
diminutive looking bear. While he was
putting the animal through the evolu-
tons Of standing on its head. shoulder
ing arms, firing off a pistol. ETC., Al Off
Ger who Was attached to the Office of tho
Superintendent, rushed ont and took tho
man in blue overalls into custody. He
brought him and the bear to the Wash
ington Place Police Court, followed by
an immense crowd of inchoate citizens,
ranging from eight to twenty years Of
who seemed to enjoy the fun hugely.
About $50 o'clock the party arrived at
the court, and the man and his bea. were
arraigned before the Judge. As If wish
ing To know what he was arrested for
the bear climbed up Oh the railing and
took long, scrutinizing and even plead
ing look at his Honor, who looked ut the
bear and asked the officer If il was
temperance bear and not addicted to
spirituous liquors, for if he could be as
sur+d OF that fact be would discharge it
from custody at once. The man in the
overalls who owned the besr could not
speak English. and lady present, who
was called. volunteered to interpret for
him in French. He said be had no idea
that he was violating the law in exhibiting
his bear. He also showed a license pr
cured from the French Government to
exhibit bears. Judge Wandell, after
short conference With his clerk, decided

FAITH IN TIE FAMILY.

One of the most intelligent women
[ have ever known, the Christian
mother Of large family of children,
used TO say that the education OF
children was eminently a work of
faith. She never heard the trampiDg
of her boys feet in the house, or
listened to their noisy shouting In
their play, or watched their uncon-
scious slumbers, without an inward,
earnest prayer to God for wisdom
to train them, aAd for the Spirit Of
the Highest to guide them. She
mingled prayer with counsel and
restraint, and the counsel was the
wiser. and the restraint was the
stronger, for this alliance of the
human and divine elements in her
instruction and discipline. And at
length, when her children had be-
come men and women, accustomed
to the hard strife Of the world her
name was the dearest one they could
speak and she who s'had fed their
own bodies from her own body's life,
and their souls from her spirit S
life," who had taught their feet 10
walk, their tongues to speak and
pray, and Illuminated their consci-
ences with the great lights Of right
.eousness and duty, held their reYer-
ence and love, increased thousand
fold by the remembrance OF an early
education that had its inspiration
In faith in God. Dr.. w. LORD.
