When the Viceroy of Egypt was in
London, at the time of the great exposi-
tion, Gibson's beautiful statue of Venus
was on exhibition. The Viceroy stop
ped in front Of the statue one day and
continued for some time to contemplate
its beauties and to study the features.
Upon one of his aids remarking to him
that the afternoon was passing away and
that much remained to be seen, the vi
ceroy said: "No, do not disturb ME. I
wish to be able to recognize her, for I
am going to dine with her this evening"
1t was then revealed that the Egyptian
ruler confounded Gibson's Venus with
the wife of Milner Gibson, member OF
of the Cabinet, at whose house he was
engaged to dine that evening. The nude
statue he took for life-like representa-.
tion of the charms of his hostess.

Young man, you feel superiority to
the whole human race as you stand at
the altar with your fair young bride.
You would not change places with the
President. Yet few short years, few
whisking of broom handles, an untimely
stoppage or two of waited flat-irons, and
your weary body will rest under the
swaying willow, while some young gal
liant will bring your late afflicted part
ner out to the cemetery on calm Sabbath
evenings and whisper love in her ear, as
together they strew peanut shells over
your grave. "Oh why should the spirit
of mortal be proud?"

expert, that there is now standing in
the Consolidated Virginia mine, above
the 1,550-foot level, $43, 900, 900 worth
of ore, or about $27, ,O0O, 900 in divi-
dends. This is saying nothing about
what is below, and, as we have
seen, they already have winze down
fifty feet below the 1,55O-foot level in
ore of the richest description.
The great center of interest in the
vast ore body running through the three
mines is at present in little drift in
the Ophir ground, just at the edge of
the north line of the California. In
this, Last Saturday afternoon, was
struck ore far surpassing in richness
anything yet seen in this enormously
rich body OF ore. Specimens are here
found that are almost pure silver, that
are quite malleable, and that may be
whitfield with a knife, almost the same
as lead.
TWELVE-HUNDRED-DOL ORE.
It is estimated that the ore in this
little 10-foot drift (as yet in Ophir
ground) will average 81, 200 per ton. A
specimen taken out at this point as
sayed over $8, 200. It is such ore as is
nowhere else to be seen on the Com
stock lode, and is far ahead of the
famous California cross cut mem
toned above, situated fourteen feet
within the Consolidated Virginia
ground. IF that is rich enough to make
one poor man sick, this should nauseate
half q dozen paupers. Mr.. Deide-
sheimer and other experts estimate that
there are in the California ground 600
feet in lengthy at least one hundred
million dollars worth of ore.
In order to give your readers some
idea of the quantity of ore already de-
veloped in the Oph1r, may here say
that the best estimates show that there
are now on the 1900 and /, 1,465-foot
level not less than 15O, 600 tons of ore
opened up and in sight. At present
the Ophir Company are extracting ore
at the rate of 240 tons per day, keeping
four mills in operation, but they could
very easily increase the amount If it
were necessary.
There can be no doubt that the body
of ore now just being opened in
the three mines under consideration
is undoubtedly the largest and richest
the world ever saw

Virginia {Nev.) Correspondence of the San Fran

At last the great 'sbulge," the true
heart of the world-famous Comstock
silver lode, would seem to have
been reached. As far as explored, it
lies in the Consolidated Virginia. Cali
three of these mines have been devel-
oped marvelously rich bodies-wonder-
full masses of sulphuret and chloride
ores. We have said bodies" but
there is in reality but one body-one
immense bonanza, chimney, or whatever
else we may choose to call it-one huge
mass of ore extending all the way from
the Consolidated Virginia through the
California into the Ophir, and no one
knows how much farther; nor does any
one know much of its height or width,
and nothing at all of it's depth. AS to
itslength we know something definite
namely, that it extends 400 feet through
the Consolidated Virginia, and un-
doubtedlv traverses the entire length

been discovered in the Ophir mine,
which adioins the California on the
north. How far it extends into theE
Ophir ground, time and the honest
miner alone can determine. It is con-
ceded. however. that the ore body can
not be less than 200 feet in length.
For several months the Consolidated
Virginia Company have been at work
in the crest of this subterranean silver
mountain, and the Ophir Company have
been gouging into itfor shorter period
of time, while the California folks have

Desperate Wrestling Contest.

One of the longest and most de-
termined wrestling matches on record
was contested at Frankford, n. j., on
the 18th of December, between James
Bailey, and Thomas Coleman. The men
wrestled in Devonshire style, best two
in three fair back falls-two hips and
one shoulder, or two shoulders and one
hip to touch the ground together to
constitute fair back fall-for $3.50
side, and the championship of New
Jersey. In the first round, Coleman
grasped Bailey by the back and neck.
A desperate struggle ensued, and, amid
the widest excitement, Coleman jerked
his opponent on to his hip, and threw
him. Bailey fell on his face, and
the referee decided no fall. In the
second round the athletes began to
kick each others legs violently. Bat
ley twisted himself underneath
Coleman and brought him on to his
hip. A furious struggle followed.
Bailey held on. and, after desperate
effort, both fell on their faces. In the
third round, Bailey hiplocked Coleman,
and threw him heavily, amid shouts of
enthusiasm. The fourth round was q
desperate one. Coleman got q hiplock
on Bailey, dragged him on his shoulder,
and threw him over his head on the floor.
In the fifth round the men kicked each
others legs in o violent manner. A
desperate contest followed, and Bailey
threw Coleman on his face. The sixth
round was a desperate one, and both
fell on their faces. In the seventh
round, Coleman threw Bailey on his
head, and he fell on his side. On went
the wrestling, the men straining
every nerve. In the eleventh
round, Coleman threw Bailey fair
on his back, and won the first
fall after an exciting struggle that
lasted tifty-two minutes. After resting,
the contestants continued the struggle,
kicking each others legs in brutal
manner. In the seventeenth round,
Bailey hurled Coleman over his head
and won the second fall. The men had
now beea wrestling one hour and
twenty-four minutes, and each had
| gained a fall. The men continued to
kick each other, and struggled earnest
ly to. gain the deciding fall. In the
twenty-second round, the way in which
the contestants kicked each others legs
was brutal in the extreme, and con-
tinued until Bailey got Coleman off his
| guard, and. by dexterous movement,
! twisted underneath Coleman and threw
him clean over his head, and won the
match, amid most intense excitement
and cheering. The contest lasted two
hours and eighteen minutes. Both
contestants legs were badly injured.

the Christmas day. The keen. frosty
air had blown brilliant roses into Mrs.
Renwicke's cheeks, and her husband
complimented her beauty and the youth

after dinner and sat down beside him,
telling him OF the many pleasures she

morrow.

holding his wife's hand, and gently
caressing it.

Mr.. Renwicke started, and his wife
felt his clasp tighten on her fingers.
He looked away from her for some mo-
ments, gazing sadly into the bright
coal fire. She didn't speak, and, after
| few minutes, he spoke again, very
softly:
"Do you know, pet, I have had a
strange fancy lately?. IF Amy had had
child, I could swear that Rose was
her daughter"
Mrs. Renwicke impulsively clasped
both her hands about her husbands
arms, and looking entreatingly in his
face, exclaimed:
!" Forgive me, my own dear husband.

you sooner. Oh, do say you are not
angry with me-"
Mr.. Renwicke's face was deathly
white, and his wife almost feared to look
at him; but her gaze still rested on
him earnestly, longingly; and she saw
his face soften, and tears slowly drop
from his stern eyes. Presently he
turned and took her in his arms.
