A Offering Mystery.

"WLat becomes Of tAc precious Gletaisf"
asks an Eastern journal and thea proeeeds
to consider the question and sucaseis in
throwing much doubt upon it, or rather
leaving it in Just as much doubt as before.
The question, what becomes Of all the
pinsf" has been often asked. perhaps, and
has been answered with about the same
illumination. Ferd. Ever, many years ago
in this city, was hugely amused at a ques
ton asked in the Sacramento Union, namely,

might have been answered in two words

satisfactorily the question as to what be-
comes of the precious metals. That a vast
amount has been extracted from the earth,
according to an English writer who, of
course, must depend TO a great degree upon
guess work, not less thar S5,0o0,000.o00
since the days Of Noah, in gold and silver.
there can be no doubt. OF this amount he
thinks that So, 200.00o.000 nave been pro-
dueed since the discovery Of America. The
Christian world is credited with having had
1900, 100000. most of which has been dis
posed Of by s~hipWreeks, gliding, fire and
various other ways, rs edectually, we might
suggest, as many Of cur citizens ave dis
posed of theirs by investing in stocks. He
thinks this loss roceeds at the rate Of SIG
100000 annually, while the production he
puts at $~i0,o00,O00. which is undoubtedly
too low. One-half of the balance, S350,000,
900, he thinks is held in the form of plate
and ornaments. OF the balance in the anti

he thinks that over a thousand billions have
been hidden in Asiatic lands in different
ages of the world, md he continues that is
well known That a thousand millions were
thus hidden in India and China in the six
years succeeding 1871; that is during the
time when Wholesale murder and slaughter

metals have q fate there, as they ave else

commodities, they serve their purpose and
disappear. What became of all the gold with

Long Dresses.

Our landlaiy's daughter is a young lady
of somepreiensions togentility. She wears
her bonnet well back upon her head, which
is known to all 20 be a mark of high breed

great ladies do in Europe. To be sure their
dresses are thus made to sweep the tapes
tried floors Of chateaux and palaces, and
these odious aristocrats of the other side do
not go dragging through the mud in silks
and satins. but, forsooth. must ride in
coaches when they are in full dress.
1t is true, that considering the various

The Last Words of the ., ing.

The last words OF tho dying are eagerly
sought after, and unclaimed in memory's
bosom. by loved ones. The hero standing
upon the feld-of battle, amid the booming
Of cannon and tho rattle Of musketry, is
stricken down, and, dying. he uttered some
sentiment, which tells the living he fought
brnvely and died loving his country. His
words thus uttered are chanted in his
praise. pass Immediately into history,
and are preserved to be handed down from
generation to generation
The mother bending over the couch of
her dying child, eagerly listens for its last
words. As the hearts pulsations grow
feeble, the rospirations become more labor
ious, she silently listens. Now the pale
lips are parted, and she draws nearer. until
her ear comes in contact with the cold
breath, when she catches the last faint
murmur Of the dying one. oh, how she
treasures in her pure heart that last Good
bye that last token of going to heav emp
The husband. through weary days and
nights, has been Watching at tho beside of
his darling wife, until. now, the dread mo-
ment approaches when she shall be waited
beyond the river of death. Under no pro-
tense will he now leave her, and why ? All,
he is waiting and listening for the last
whisper. As she speaks, her words echo
and re-echo through the chamber Of his
soul, and remain there throughout the mys-
tic future.
As a young lady reads over the list of
the slain in battle. and her eyes rest upon
the name of her lover. almost her first
thought is. "Did he leave me a dying
message ?"
The sweet sister Of a shipwrecked broth
err impatiently awaits the arrival of some
rescued from the wreck, to learn If her
brother, as he was swept beneath the dark
waves. sent her a dying word.
Yes, dying words are those most sought
after and cherished by the human heart.
Amid all the cares and disappointmcnts
that may surround us in life, we mover can
forget the Inst faint whisperings of the
dying.

Descartes, the famous mathematician and
philosopher, La Tontaine, celebrated for his
witty fables, and Button, the naturalist,
were all singularly deficient in the powers
of conversation. Mormontel, the novelist,
was so dull in society that his friend said OF
him, after the interview, l must go and read
his tales, in recompence to myself for the
weariness Of hearing him. As to Corneille,
the greatest dramatist Of France, he was
completely lost in society-so absent and
embarrassed that he wrote of himself n
witty couplet, importing that he was never
intelligible but through the mouth of an
other. Wit on paper seems to be something
widedly different from that play of words
in conversation which. while it sparklcs
dies for Charles II, the wittiest of mon-
nrchs, was so harmed with the humor Of
''Hudibras' that he caused himself to be
introduced in the character of q private
gentleman to Butler, its author. The witty
King found the author a very dull COM
panion, and was Of opinion, with many
others, that so stupid a fellow could never
have written SO clever q book. Addison,
whose classic elegance has long since been
considered the model of style, was shy and
absent in society, preserving even before a
single stranger formal and dignifed silence.
In conversation Dante vas t~aciturn and
satirical. Gray and Alieri seldom talked Or
smiled. Rousseau was remarkably tame in
conversation, without q word Of fancy or
eloquence in his speech. Milton was IN
social and sarcastic when much pressed by
strangers.

DEATH IN THE DIsHCLoTH.

A lady saws in the Raral World, when
some of you are sure to be down with
typhoid fever; when neighbors are neg
lecting their own work to nurse you;
when doctors are hunting in cellers and
old drains for the cause, let me whis-
per in your ear-look to your dishcloth.
If they be black and stiff and smell like
a ",boneyard," it is enough--throw
them in the fire, and henceforth and
forever wash your dishes with cloths
that are white, cloths that you see
through, and see if ever you have that
disease again. There are sometimes
other causes, but ! have smelled whole
houseful of typhoid fever in one "dish-
rag" I had some neighbors once
clever, good sort of folks; one fall four
of them were sick at one time with ty-
phoid fever. The doctor ordered the
vinegar barrels whitewashed, and threw
about forty cents worth of carbolic acid
in the swillpail and departed. I went
into the kitchen to make gruel-I need
ed dishcloth and looked about and
found several, and such "rags"! I
burned them all, and called the daugh-
ter OF the house to get me dishcloth.
She looked round on the tables "Why'
said she, "there was about dozen here
this morning." and she looked in the
woodbox and on the mantlepiece, and
felt..in the dark corner Of the cupboard.
"Well," said, "I saw some old rot
ten rags lying round and l burned
them, for there is death in such dish
cloths as these, and you must never use
such again." .etf
I"..took turns at nursing that fami-
ly four weeks, and believe those dirty
dishcloths were the cause of all that
hard work. Therefore, say to every
housekeeper, keep your dishcloths
clean. You may wear your dresses
without ironing, your sun-bonnet with
out elastic but you must keep your
dishcloths. clean. You may only sweep
the floor "when the sign gets right"
the window don't need washing, you
can look out of the door; the spider
web on the front porch don't hurt any
thing-but, as you love your lives, wash
out your dishcloth. Let the foxtail get
ripe in the garden (the seed is foot
deep anyway, let the holes in the heels
of your husband footrags go undarned,
let the sage go ungathered, let the child
ren's shoes go two Sundays without
backing, let two hens set four weeks
on one wooden egg-but do wash out
your dishcloths. Eat without table
cloth; wash your face and let them
dry, do without q curtain for your
windows, and cake for your tea--but
for heavens saks, keep your dishcloths
clean.

BAKED BEANs.-Many people do not
understand how to make nice baked
beans. One of the most serious troub-
les is, they don't give them time enough
to bake. Bake them slowly all day
Saturday, and if convenient let them
stay in over night, baking full twenty
four hours, and our word for. it, your
beans will come out in the morning
smoking. with favor that will make
your mouth water to taste them, and
your breakfast will be tho best you ever
had. We sometime see persons who
only have q moderate liking for baked
beans, who invariably bake them three
or four hours, and that is why they do
not like them any better. A day and q
night is none too much time to bake
these esculents, having parboiled them
only few moments, until the skins
will crack when the air comes to them.

Why IRVING REMAINED A BATcHELoR.--
A correspondent of tho Je,cish Messen-
ger gives new explanation of the rea-
son why the late Washington Irving
always remained batchelor. Speaking
of Miss Rebecca Gratz, a Jewess, of
Philadelphia, distinguished for her zeal
in works of charity, who has just died
at the ripe age of lightweight, he says:
" Twenty years ago heard the story,
a story that has long been current in
Philadelphia in Jewess circles, among
her friendsand acquaintances, and which
has again been revived here since her
death. 1t runs thus: Many years ago,
when Miss Gratz was young girl,
Washington Irving, then already risen
in literary reputation, came to Philadel-
phia and became visitor at the house
of her family. 1t is said in youth she
was. very beautiful and very good; and as
her. acquaintance with irving increased,
the beauty of both her character and
features, together with the fact that she
was living representatives of that ma
ton whose whole history is romance, so
wrought upon his heart chat he became
deeply enamoured with her. 1t is need
less to say that had his attachment
been never so strong, with her strength
in her faith, it would have been wasted.
AS it was, il was wasted. Irving left the
city, but did not forget the lady of his
love-" The writer adds that Irving sub
sequently mentioned to Sir Walter Scott
his intimate acquaintance with the beau
tiful Rebecca of Philadelphia. Scott,
it appears, was writing, or about to
write, Ivanhoe," and upon the
strength of Irving's description of the
lovely Jewess, SO firm to her faith,
named his heroine Rebecca.
