charge of the equipment Of the new mint in
San Francisco, made two visits of examina.
ton to the Consolidated Virginia and Cali.
fornia mines, the largest and richest Of the
mines in the great Comstcck lode, and the re-
suit Of his examination is printed in the report
Of DR.. Linderman, director of the mint. The
Virginia mine is ITO feet long, and the Cali
fornia 600 feet, and the explored width on the
1850 level is $50 feet on the average.
There are four levels. one at depth of 1900
feet, another at 14O0 feet, another at $500 feet,
and another still at 1850 feet, the greatest
depth yielding the richest ore. Gold and
silver are both found in metallic state in the
ore and also in combination. Prof. Rogers
says: "On an inspection of the official sur.
vsys exhibiting the galleries and cross-cuts il
would seem fair to conclude that, with proper
allowances, the ore.body equals an amount
which, taken at the actual assays, would give
as the estimate yield Of the two mines $780,.
600, OOO."- Erchdnqe

A HOmely Mans Wit.

Abdul Aziz, says Lord Staleybridge. is not
impervious to the shafts of wit. Once in his
younger days, as he was hunting in the val.
Icy, he met one morning as the day dawned
an uncommonly ugly man, at the sight Of
whom his horse started. Being nearly dis
mounted, deeming it bad omen, he called
out in rage to have his head struck off. The
poor peaaant, whom they had seized and were
on the point Of executing, prayed that he
might be informed of his crime.
"Your crime" said the Sultan, sis your
unlucky countenance, which is the first OBJ
ject saw this morning, and which had near
ly caused me to fall from my horse"
"Alas r said the man, "by this reckoning
what term must I apply to your Majesty q
countenance, which is the first object my
eyes met this morning, and which is to cause
my death ?"
The Sultan smiled at the wit of the reply,
ordered the man to be released, and gave him
a present instead of taking off his head.

When President Grant first began to make
extraordinary and, as it seemed, scandalous
selections for places in the civil service, his
friends maintained that we must not reproach
him, that he was supplemented man, who
was necessarily in this matter in the hands of
the Senators and Representatives; but he
speedily dissipated this theory by appointing
Simmons of Boston, in defiance of the Repre-
sentative of the district and Mcdonald of st.
Louis, in defiance of the whole State delega-
ton. In short he has administered the gov
eminent neither on the old American ''spoils''
system nor on the new ''civil service reform"

is enormous.
