LEARN A TRADE.-I never look at
my old steel composing rule that / do
not bless myself that, while my strength
lasts, l am not at the mercy of the
world. II my pen is not wanted L can
go back to the type-case and be sure to
find work for learned the printers
trade acknowledgements work. Job
work, book work and press work. am
glad to have a good trade. 1t is rock
upon which the possessor can stand
firmly. There is health and vigor for
both body and mind in an honest trade.
1t is the strongest and surest part of the
self-m ale man. Go from the academy
to the printing Office or the artisans
bench, or if you please, to the farm
for, to be sure, true farming Is trade,
and grand one at that. Lay thus a
sure foundation, and after that branch
off into whatever profession you please.
You have heard, perhaps, OF the
clerk who had faithfully served Stephen
GiIard from boyhOod to manhood. On
the twenty-frst anniversary of his
birthday he went to his master and
told him his time was up, and he GER
tainly expected important promotion in
the merchants service. But Stephen
Girsrd said to him:
VERY well. Now go and learn a
trade"
"What trade, sir?"
"Good barrels and butts must be in
demand while you live. Gro and learn
the cooper's trade; and when you have
made perfect barrel bring it to me. :"
The young man went away and
learned the trade. and in time brought
to his old master a splendid barrel of
his own make.
Girard examined it and gave the
maker two thousand dollars for it, and
then said to him:
"Now, sir, want you in my count
ing-room but henceforth you will not
be dependent upon the whim of Ste
phen Girard. Let what will come, you
have a good trade always in reserve"
The young man saw the wisdom, and
understood.
Years ago, when the middle-aged men
of to-day were boys, Horace Greeley
wrote
sit is great source of consolation
to us that when the public shall be
tired of US as an editor, we can make a
satisfactory livelihood at setting type
or farming; so that while our strength
lasts, ten thousand blockheads, taking
offense at some article they do not un-
derstand, could not drive us into the
poor-house."
And so may a man become truly in
dependent.

/ ATE THE SUGAR MYsELF.-A little
girl hamed Caroline had a very lovely
little canary-bird. 1t sang from early
morning until evening, and was of a
beautiful golden yellow, with black
tuft upon its head. Caroline gave it
seeds and cooling herbs to eat some
times, also, lump of white sugar, and
fresh water daily to drink. But sud-
denly the little bird began to droop,
and one morning as Caroline brought it
some fresh water, it lay dead in the
cage.
Caroline loudly lamented the loss of
her darling pet, and cried for long
time. Her mother went and bought
another that was Just as sweet of song
and yet more beautiful of plumage than
the former, and put it in the same cage.
But the maiden wept still louder when
she saw this new songster. Her mother
wondered much at this and said "My
dear child, why are you so much
troubled, and wherefore do you con-
tinue to weep? Your tears cannot call
back your dead canary to life, and here
you have another that is Just as good
and as pretty as the first" Then the
child said: "Oh, dear mother. L have
done wrong to my canary and did not
treat it as L ought"
Dear Lima" returned the mother,
you tended it very carefully" "Oh,
no" said the little girl, ga short time
before it died 1 did not bring it piece
of sugar, which you gave me for it 1
ate the sweet white lump myself"
So spoke the little girl, much afflicted.
The mother did not laugh at her daugh-
ter's affection, for she recognised and
honored the holy voice of conscience in
the heart of her child.

TALKING To SANTA CLAUs.-"Children
make Christmas what it is, said Aunt
Prim. 81 remember my baby, nice
little Plum, cherished firm belief that
Santa Claus lived up the chimney; and
as Christmas drew near, and visions of
possible gifts filed her little heart, she
would go slow and timidly to the fire,
hesitate a moment, and then deliver
aloud 'Tea-set 2 up the chimney, run
ming away instantly as fast as she could,
with vague fear of pursuit from the
unknown diety. We used to hear her
call out these abrupt messages at all
hours of the day: Dolls Nos yark,
'Yittle tart wild horses were fired up
the chimney like minute-guns. Once,
when she had been fretful, her mother
endeavored to quiet her by the sug-
gestion that Santa Claus might hear
her. This seemed to have an effect
Miss Plum sat demurely on her little
stool for some some time; but finally
the idea of an unseen sentinel became
oppressive, and going to the crate she
called out, ''Santa Claus, you needn't
watch me any more ; my mamma can
take care of me-"

A VIaILANTE RELIC GoNE.-The
solitary pine tree which used to be q
standing terror TO the roughs of
Helena, Montana, and where
many of them in early days expiated
their deeds of blood, is a terror no
more. 1t has been felled to the
ground by the axe of some sensible
man and carried away, probably, As
firewood. 1t stood in Dry Gulch, IN
plain sight of the city OF Helena,
aud was a constant reminder of its
bloody history. From ITS solid
branches has swung in death many
a deep-dyed villain whose faintest
crime WAS murder and whose very
breath Was concentrating to the at
mosphere in which he lived. Aud
then, again, perhaps, its stong limbs
have borne the innocent fruit of
excited mobs, for in those days
man was judged IN great measure
hy the company III whicn ne was
found. Trial Tor crime preceded
in many instances, the capture of
the prisoner. and the guarantee of
executive elemency, as in the case of
Daniels, was powerless 10 save those
whom the community deemed gull
ty. II was thus poor iianiels, cen
victed of murder and pardoned by
the Governor, was launched into the
arms of death while the ink on his
pardon was yet moist. But the old
tree is gone now, with the necessity
which furnished its limbs, and it
is Well that the unsightly relic is OBJ
liberated. Let the sad memories go
with il, and il there be fire strong
enough to consume both, civiliza'
ton will have lost nothing but q
scrap of uncouth and unpleasant
history.

TEE NEW ErSA MrNR.-This is
the name now given an old location
of 1860, which was relocated last
January under the mineral law Act
Of Congress, by Mr.. j.. s. Hardwick
Of Virginia. The mine is nine miles
almost due south Of Dayton, in the
Sullivan District, and very close to
the boundary line of Ormsby, but
still in our county. Active work ON
the lead had progressed since its re-
location in January, up to the time Of
the Bank failure, but was then tenn
porarily suspended by the owner on
account Of the money pressure.
Work is now to be recommended by
a competent working force, and the
developments pushed ahead with all
possible speed. Thus far, well tim
bered tunnel has been driven into the
hill for distance of 800 feet, and
has tapped the lead at vertical dis
lance from the surface of $50 feet.
The VEN at this depth is fully six
feet wide, its walls very smooth and
perfect and the ore Of a quality that
will mill, it is thought, from $35 to
$45 per ton. The character of the
ore is largely silver, although the
gold showing is very perceptible in
the rock so far mined. 1t is now in
tended to drift north and south on
the vein, prospect as thoroughly as
desirable, and then put a shaft down
to further explore the mine. With
the present prospects of the lead no
attempt will he made to get out rock
for milling until the mine is thor
oughly opened. Much of the ore
above the tunnel level is thought to
be of grade profitable for reduction,
and will in time he stopped down.
The superior location of the lead, and
the comparative ease with which the
vein can be mined, renders the prop
erty valuable, even though no high
grade ore should be found. DIR. Haz-
lett, and others who know the prop
erty well, think that it will prove to
be one of the best mines in the
county. Prominent capitalists are
about interesting themselves in the
location, and no doubt the mine will
be Systematically worked. Mr..
Eardwick passed through Silver City
yesterday to make arrangements to
put ON the new working force.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES

WINNEMucoA, New, Sept. Is.
Natchez, the Piute chief, who
has been hunting ducks in the Big
Meadows since the cry of war was
raised by miners and others in the
Eastern part of the State, arrived
in town to-day. When asked if he
knew anything about the reported
Indian outbreak near Cherry
Greek, he said that he had been
told all about it by the Shoshones.
He said there was no danger of
war, as the Indians didn't want to
fight. The Shoshones had told
him that the Indians were not on
the war path, and that all reports
to the contrary were false. May
be" said the chief, who is one of
the shrewdest of his race, "some
white men wanted to sell hay and
barley, and they heap like to have
some soldiers come and buy from
them their rations, and make be-
lieve the Indians make war to kill
white people, but its all damn
sham"
SAN FRANCISCO, September IS.
There is very active demand for
money, which the banks are unable
to supply. The National Gold Bank
and Trust Company had $3.50, 900 in
coin transferred to-day through the
office of the U. S. Treasury, and con-
siderable amounts are reported to
to have arrived or are close at hand
from New York. The first men,
toned bank is now doing a very sat
isfactory business, and the officers
'apprehend no diminution of patron
age on account of the recent tempo
rary suspension. Arrangements will
soon be in progress for increasing
its capital stock, and on January LIST
it is intended to have a capital of
two millions.
The business of the California
Stock Board was very lively to-day,
showing q marked improvement
both in the volume of transactions
and the prices reached. The in
creased business of this Board will
probably have the effect to hasten
the opening of the other Boards,
which are expected to resume bust
ness in about two weeks. Sales on
the street were very spirited to-day,
and the vicinity of the Board room
was thronged. similarly to before
the panic.

men Of Tellurium, q rare metal in
this or any other country, the prop
critics OF which are used especially
for the hardening of the finest point
ed surgical instruments. 1t Is of 4
silver white color. Its chemical prop
critics closely resemble sulphur and

state, is said 10 be worth $1,000 per
pound, and Prof. Stewart feels GER
tain that in the ledge from which
this specimen was taken--near Walk
er River, Lyon county,-it will be
found in quantities of great value.
The vein referred to is about eight

ore, found in Europe, is scarcely ever
found in larger veins than one aud
half inches in width. Another fine
specimen noticed was what is known
to minerologists as Uratinite or

said that "pi,ch blend" possesses
