MINING LAW AMENDMENT.

As it will be of much interest to min
ers to know the features OF the new
amendment to section 1924, of the
United States revised statutes, which
has passed the House (but up to the 25th
instant had not reached the Senate and
may not be even considered by that
body, we print below the full text OF
the amendment:
The miners of each mining district
may make regulations not in conflict
| with the laws of the United States or
| with the laws of the State or Territory
in which the district is situated, gov
| erning the location, name OF record
| ing, amount of work necessary to hold
possession of a mining claim, subject
| to the following requirements: The To-
| cation must be distinctly marked upon
the ground SO that its boundaries can
be readily traced; all records of mining
| claims hereafter made shall contain the
name or names of the l~ocators, the date
of the loo stion, and such a description
of the clam or claims located by refer
ence to some natural object or perma-
nent monument as will identify the
claim. On each claim located after the
10th day of May, 1872, and until an
application for patent therefor and final
proofs and payment for the claim have
been made, as required by the terms
of this chapter, not less than 500
worth of labor shall be performed or
Improvements made during each year.
On all claims located prior to the 10th
of May, 1872, $40 worth of labor shall
be performed or improvements made
by the 10Th of June, 1874, and each
year thereafter for each 100 feet in
length along the vein, until an appli-
cation for patent therefor and final

been made, as required by the terms
al application for a patent has been
filed in the manner prescribed by
this chapter, and an adverse claim as
serted against the same, and suit COM
menced thereon, the annual expendi-
ture for labor or improvements herein
before prescribed shall not be required
until the right and title to such claim
shall have been finally deter
mined by a court Of competent juris-
diction; but where such claims are
held in common such expenditure
may be made upon any one claim; and
upon a failure to comply with these
conditions the claim OIL mine upon
which such failure occurred shall be
opened to relocation in the same man

never been made; provided, that the
original locators, their heirs, assigns
or legal representatives have not re-
sumed work upon the claim after fail

the failure OF any one of several 20
owners to contribute his proportion of
the expenditures required hereby, the

Other Worlds than Ours.
Detroit Free Press.

There were seven men and three
women in Jefferson avenue car yes
terday, when the seventh man stood
up and said;
"The sun is only eighteen miles
from the earth, and l can prove it! "
He pulled off his overcoat, flung it
down and confined:
''Is there man here who dares to
say that the moon isn't bag of saw
dust?"
He pushed up his sleeves, danced
up and down, and exclaimed:
81 can mash the man who says
that this world is roundr'
What \ shame that several intelli-
gent citizens should sit there and
know better and yet not say word!
Indeed, when the stranger reached
out tor passengers nose and asked
him if the stars were not nickels
glued to the heavens, the passenger
cheerfully replied that such was his
belief. The driver, who had never
given thought to astronomy, took
the stranger by the neck and ran him
out of the car, saying, as he drove
on:
81 don't care about the sun or the
moon s'long as git my pay every
Saturday night"

A FADED GLOVE.

Ny little granddaughter, who fain would know
why, folded close in scented satin hne,
keep relic faded long ago.
This pearl gray, dainty, withered glove OF mine
Listen; I'll tell you: It is fifty years
Since the fair day laid my treasure here.
But yester day to me the time appears
Ages ago to you, know, my dear
Upon this PALM now withered as my cheek,
Love laid his first kiss, doubling and afraid;
oh, swift and strong across me while speak
Comes memory OF Loves might, my little maid !!
yet was so unconsious, Twas a night
Some festal night; my sisters were above,
Not ready quite but !, cloaked all in white,
Waited below, and, fastening my glove,
Looked up with smiling speech to him who stood
Observing me, so still and SO intent;
I wondered somewhat at his quiet mood,
Till it flashed on me what the silence meant.
What sudden fire of dawn my sky o'erspread!
What low melodious thunder broke my calml
Could be dreaming that the glorious head
u Was bending low above my girlish palm!
His majesty of men proclaimed him king;
His lowly gesture said, I" am your slave" !"
Beneath my feet the firm earth seemed to swing,
Unstable as storm driven wind and wave.
All beautiful and terrible and sweet
The matchless momenti Was it life or death,
Or day or night? For my heart ceased TO beat,
And heaven and earth changed in single breath.
And like harp some hand Of power doth smite
To sudden harmony, my soul awoke,
And answering rose to match his spirits height,
while not q word the mystic silence broke
Twas but an instand. Down the echoing stair
Swept voices. laughter, watts of melody
Ny sisters three, in draperies light as air.
But like a dream the whole world seemed to me,
As. steadying my whirling thoughts, strove
To grasp truth so wondrous, SO divine.
! shut this hand, this little tinted glove,
To keep its secret mine and only mine.
And like an empty show, the brilliant hours
Passed by with beauty, pleasure thronged,
Phantasmagoria Of light and flowers;
But only one delight to me belonged,
One thought, one wish one hope. one fear,
One dizzy rapture, one star in the sky
The solemn sky that bent to bring God near;
would have been content that night to die.
Only touch upon this little glove,
And 10 the lofty marvel which it wrought!
You wonder; for as yet you know not love,
oh, sweet my child, my lily, my unsougst!
The glove is faded, but immortal Joy
Lives in the kiss; its memory can not fade;
When Deaths clasp this pale hand shall destroy,
The sacred glove shall in my grave be laid.

Fun with the Babies.

An Augusta correspondent of an
Oneida county paper tells the follow
ing as a game peculiar to that local
ity i: "Quite a baby show OF first
borns of both sexes, born within a
few days of each other, and aged
about three months, came off in this
part OF the town few days ago, on
the occasion of social party of
married parents, whose names are
withheld on account of the extreme
delicacy of the scarcely initiated
mothers. While the gentlemen were
out the ladies got up a little scene for
general merriment. They placed
the wee ones as near together and in
a circle as possible, their bodies hor,
izontal, with the tiny feet elevated
and in a close cluster, then covered
the faces and clothing effectually
from sight. The cluster of wonder
fully alike baby extremities at once
began to kick and gyrate and mix up
in a beautifully grotesque manner,
which brought forth screams and
peals OF feminine laughter. The
fathers came in and were invited to
