Rich Gold Discovered in Australia.

The most important discovery ever
made in connection with gold mining in
this colony, with the exception Of the
original discovery of gold in 1851, oc-
Cured here on the 11th of September. It
is the finding in the shaft OF the Mag
dala Company, at Pleasant Greek, or az
it is now called, Stawall--of gold bear
ing quartz reef at the unprecedented
depth of 1851 feet, or about 700 feet
further into the interior of the earth
than gold has ever yet been obtained in
Victoria. The managers Of the com pany,
since they struck the reef, have gone on
sinking 30 as to ascertain the thickness OF
it in their claim, and they have passed
ten feet of IL without as yet having gone
through it. Some specimens of the
stone have been sent to the School of
Mines, at Balaret. These specimens,
weighing altogether 10t pounds, were
treated by two processes, the result being
at the rate Of 10 dwt. IL gr. per ton OF
stone by one process, and 14dwt. 10 gr.
by the other. Four other results which
were obtained, showed a much richer
quality ofstone, but as the stone testeo
In those cases was taken from higher
portion of the lode, and above the null
lock base, II Is thought probable that
the upper and'lower portions Of the lode
may be much richer than the center.
The directors have decided to break
of good sissd block of the stone and
send II to the Philadelphia exhibition,
with sectional drawing Of the shaft and
the different strata passed through.

Uncompensated Prescriptions Not Ap-
proved.

Hans Platter, as is we'll known to all
of our people, says the Virginia Enter
prise, is a man not easily excited. Hans
generally takes things cool. 1t is very
seldom that any single, small mishap dis
turbs his equanimity. "Dare is already
too much bodder in der vorlt; what for
should allow little ding to worry my
prains," is what Hans generally says
The other day, however, he was in another
humor. Hans keeps saloon and had
probably on this day been visited by an
unusual number of thirsty but impecun-
iOus persons; otherwise we are at loss
to account for his dissolute behavior. A
man entered Hans place of business, and
resting his elbows on Hans bar, said to
Hans as follows: "I am quite unwell
have been unwell for some time, aud
am under the doctors care. The doctor
tells me that must take stiff whisky
toddy about twice a day, but 1 have no
money; now couldn't you let me havc q
couple of toddies twice day? l wouldn't
ask IL but that the doctor has said I must
have it." Hans, who had been resting
his elbows on his counter opposite his
customer, began to swell up before he
heard him half through When he had
heard all, Hans seemed almost too full
for utterance. The case seemed to him
one to which it would be hard to do full
justice. He therefore two or three
times strolled up and down behind his
bar distance of six or eight feet, then
suddenly facing his customer thus ex-
ploded: Why don't your doctor told
you dat you must took mine watch 2
Why don't he told you dat you must took

Our Merchant Marine.

The carrying trade of the United
States has been for long time, to a great
extent, in the hands of foreigners, and
the reports of the past year are no ex-
ception to the rule. Foreign vessels have
for several years carried about three.
fourths of our foreign trade. Yet we
have regular tonnage. The total Amer
lean tonnage at the close of the fiscal
year was 4.853,732 tons. During the
year our tonnage increased 141 1878 tons,
this being the amount Of new vessels
built, less losses from wrecks, etc. The
vessels built during the year aggregated
297 ,639 tons, but the financial depression
was shown in ship-building as it has been
in everything else, for this is but little
over two-thirds the tonnage built the
preceding year. The American ner-
chant marine number altogether 1926
vessels, of which 1881 are registered for
the foreign trade, and 8, 1886. with 1,0lS,-
16l tonnage are steam vessels. More
than two-thirds of our tonnage is en-
ployed in the coasting, lake and inland
trade. 49,

YouNa LIONS NURsED BY A TERRIER.

Suicide OF a Rooster.

The San Francisco Bulletin gays that
Thomas Roach, keeper of chicken-ranch
on the old San Jose road, purchased,
several months ago, lot of fine cropple-
crowns, which he kept aloof from his less
aristocratic fowls in small yard. The
chief of this family was q large black
bird of an exceedingly naughty disposi-
tiOn. He was monarch of all he sur
veyed till about a week since, when Roach
procured white bird of the same breed
and turned it into the yard of cropple-
crowns. The two male birds Immediately
joined in battle, which, after gallant
display of courage by both contestants,
resulted in the defeat of the black crop
pie. The unsuccessful bird took his de-
feat sorely to heart. In fact, life was
no longer worth possessing, since honor
had departed. The bird was seen try
ing to kill itself with its own spurs. Not
succeeding, it tried to Jam its head under
a gate, but again failed. 1t flew upon
a barrel halffilled with rainwater, and
after carefully surveying the situation,
plunged into the cssk. Roach ran out
and found the bird with its wings close
ly folded to its side, its beak open, and
apparently endeavoring to repress the
natural struggles at selfpreseryation. 1t
was speedily rescued from its dangerous
situation, but refused to take any further
interest in life; and after a few days of
mental torture and physical suffering, it
entered that eternal rest which was the
one remaining desire of its heart.

The Cure for Gossip.

What is is the cure for gossip? Simply
culture. There is great deal of gossip
that has no malignity in it. Good ma
tured people talk about their neighbors
because, and only because they have
nothing else to talk about. As we write,
there comes to us the picture of family
of young ladies. We have seen them at
home; we have met them in galleries of
art; we have caught glimpses of them
going from bookstore or library, with
a fresh volume in their hands. When
we meet them they are full of what they
have seen and read. They are brimming
with questions. One topic of converse
tion is dropped only to give place to
another in which they are interested.
We have left them after a delightful
hour, stimulated and refreshed, and dur
ing the whole hour not a neighbor's gar
ment was soiled by so much as touch.
They had something to talk about. They
knew something and wanted to know
more. They could listen as well as they
could talk. To speak freely of neigh
boris doings and belongings would have
seemed an impertinence to them, and, Of
course, an improperly. They had no
temptation to gossip, because the doings
of their neighbors formed subject very
much less interesting than those which
grow out of their knowledge and their
culture. And this tells the whole story.
The confirmed gossip lie always either
malicious or ignorant. The one variety
needs change of heart, and the other y
change of pasture. Gossip is always a
personal confession either of malice or
imbecility, and the young should not
only shun it, but by the most thorough
culture relieve themselves from all
temptation to indulge in it. 1t is low,
frivolous and too often a dirty business.
There are country neighborhoods in
which it RACES like pest. Churches are
split in pieces by it. Neighbors are made
enemies for life by it. In many persons
IL degenerates into a chronic disease
which is practically incurable. Let the
young cure 1t while they may.-Hygord

Peculisrities of Henry Clay.

= In his day 1t was the habit of the
polite world of the capital, dressed in
their gayest, to repair to the Senate
chamber to listen to him whenever he
spoke. He was everybody'spet. No man
has ever had such adulation since. No
man has ever got habitually such splen-
did and brilliant audiences as he. Those
were days of good debate, when the
press had not gained 90 much prestige
before oratory had given way, in Con-
gress to the reporters. There were no
holes in the sky then. and you could not
prick an orator, like bubble, with a
witty sarcasm. Clay never disappointed
he would not have dared. But he
dared things that no other man then or
now would dare. At the end of a bril-
liant passage he would pause deliberately,
and walk six steps across the aisle to
Robert j. Walkers snuff box, and taking
q pinch gracefully between his finger and
thumb, return TO his desk and put it
with such ineffable distinction to his
nostrils that the whole audience was
ready TO burst into applause. With any
other man this would have been ridic-
ulous. Clay made It sublime. 1t was
the great king going TO bed in the pres
ence ofhis admiring courtiers. FiN

The Spiritualists are likely to have a
martyr. Laymarie, editor of Paris
newspaper devoted to the faith, was sent
ehced to imprisonment for year for
swindling the public with spirit photo
graphs. Two companions in the fraud,
convicted simultaneously, have been
pardoned; but they were the photo
grapher and the medium, while Lay
marie's greater offense was that of using
his journal to indorse the pictures as

The Courier-Jownars Lebanon, KY,
special reports the killing at that place
lately of two men-one a citizen of
Louisville, the other of Lebanon. The
dispatch says Thomas III. Chandler, Town
Marshall of Lebanon, summoned num-
ber of men to assist in arresting George
F. Northcraft, whose conduct at the time
was very disorderly. When approached
by Chandler and the citizens he resisted
arrest and called on some roughs to assist
him in evading the others. A general
row ensued and number of shots were
fred by both parties. Chandler, the
Marshal, killed Northcraft, and some of
Northcraft's friends Immediately killed
Chandler. A general excitement fol.
lowed the killing, but no other rows oc-
Cured.
