A Great Piece Of Engineering.

The Virginia City (Nevada) Entsrpriss
boasts that that city has the best and parest
mountain water in the world, which has
been introduced in spite Of great natural
obstacles, it being necessary TO cross the
Washoe Valley. The supply is derived
from Dall's creek, up in the Sierras, near
Lake Tahoe, brought in an eighteen-inch
fiume four miles long to spur on the op-
posite side Of the Washoe Valley, at point
which is 2,l00 feet above the track of the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad. Thence
it flows easterly along the crest aud crosses
the valley at the Lake View tOii-gate. IL
! ia in conducting the water across the valley
that the great triumph Of the water CON-
pany has been achieved. At the spur above
| mentioned the water ia received into an iron
pipe and conducted along the crest tn.
pipe then makes the decent into the valley,
crosses it, asceuds the opposite side, and

feet above the railroad at Lake View, wiserr

the inverted s,phon is 900 feet less thai,

this way is equal to tive million gallons pc,

| such a stream of water across 80 deep
valley is declared to have no parallel in
| the history Of hydraulic engineering. The
pressure ON the pipe is enormous, and has
been estimated at that of column of
water l, 730 feet in height. The pipe has
an orifice twelve inches in diameter. A,

each length Of pipe was heated to the tent
perature Of $50 degrees, and submerged in

has the effect Of preventing it from corro-

THE coMsTocK LODE.
Clarence Kings Scientific Observations
OF the Great Silver Ledge.

In the Scientific Department of the Gal
azs We lind the following: " The Comstock
lode is of tertiary age, and il the product
of s0lyataric <volcanic) action, the traces
of which are still observable in hot springs
wiasch raise the temperature of some parts
OF the mine to l02 deg Fahr., aud above
that in the immediate neighbhorhood of
the springs. Mr.. King says that the whole
vein is i'll state of gentle chemical action.
Vast bodies of clay are found in it, and this
has the property Of swelling, upon exposure
to the air, with such fore as to crush the
stoatest tlmbers. Advantage has been
taken of this to till up some of the evacu-
atcd chambers.
Rooms were cut in the clay, the root and
sides Of which quickly tiaked off, and fell
down as fast as the miners could wheel the
material away. Large quantities were
eskelsvur, aud yet the room in the clay did
not alter materially in size. THIS continued
for weeks, aud yet when the work was
finished a short time sutficed to fill the
evacuated room completely with solid clay.
These clay seams, aud indeed the distribu-
tiun of the ore bodies and all the phenome-
ma of the mine. were for long time an
absolute puzzle.
But ON the whole this mine offers the
finest opportunities for the study Of metal
ifereuus vein III the world.
Its dimensions are vast and the work OF
expiration is commensurate with them.

value Of $33 per ton, was taken out. 10

How Vanderbilt Became Rich.

N. Y Tribune
Commodore Vanderbilt seemed to be in
an unusually communicative mood, and he
made the following suggestions to the re-
porter: "When you have lived, sir, to car
ry as many gray hairs as do you will have
learned that there is little sympathy with or
appreciation of your efforts, it matters little
what may be the circumstances. Ifyou are
successful in accumulating fortune you
will be called speculator and monopo-
list, while, if You should fail to amass rich
es, it will all be about the same, as You win
be talked about in that case as one who
does not amount to much any how. have
never speculated ON the market, and regard
it as nothing less than a gambling opera
ton. When was 80 years old I had been
working for several years for my employer
at 81, 900 a year, and when I left him had
not more than $40, 900, all told"
"After long and very successful life,
Commodore, what in your opinion is the
true secret of success in making money ?"
sssave what you have and live within
your income. Avoid all speculation. No
matter what was making, always made
it rule to save something, and this course,
if persisted in, is sure to succeed. The
money will pile up in time. While was
working for the gentleman referred to
moment ago, persuaded him to let me
use the profits should realize in the busi-
ness in future extending it. This did
until it had grown SO large that in his eyes
the amount was too large to risk, and he
refused to let me 60 ahead any longer,
although he had such confidence in me as
to offer me partnership, which I declined.
Since then have been operating for my
self. did not accept the partnership be-
cause knew his other partners and could
not agree, ard never could quarrel when
I was one of the interested persons. did
not object to insisting upon the rights OF
my employer as long as was not directly
interested, but, to enter into partnership
where knew | should have to maintain
my own rights by repeated qnarreling, was
more than would agree to do.

THE WEDDING FEE.


ONE morning. fifty years ago,
When apple trees wer white with snow
vi fragrant blossoms and the air
was spell-bound with the perfume rare.
Upon farm-aoree, large and lean.
And lazy with its double load,
san-browned youth and maid were seen
jogging along the winding road.
Blue were the arches of the skies:
But hluer were that maiden's eyes.
The dew drops on the grass were bright:
But brighter was the loving ii.ht
That sparkled meath the long -frinsed lid,
where those bright eyes of blue we're hid.
Adown the shoulders brown and hare
holied the soft waves OF golden hair.
Where. almost stranpled with the spray
The sun, a willing sufferer. lay.
1t was the fairest sight, ween,
That the young man had ever seen;
And with his features all aglow.
The happy fellow told her SO:
And she without the least surprise,
Looked on him with those heavenly eyes,
Saw underneath that shade OF tan
The handsome features Of man;
And witha JOY but rarely known
She drew that dear face to her own,
And by her bridal bonnet hid
cannot tell you what she did.
So, on they rode until, among
The newborn leaves with dew drops hung,
The parsonage. arrayef in whit,

And glsncing down his eye surveyed
The pillow case before him laid,
Whose contents reaching to its hem,
Might purchase endless joy for them.
The maid II answers, = Let us wait,
To borrow trouble where's the need p
Then, a the parsons squeaking gate,
Halted the more than willing steed.
Down from the horse the bridegroom sprung:
The latchless gate behind him swung:
