The Eureka Sentinel remarks: To-
days foreign dispatches notify us of a
demand for silver in London and Of
consequent rise in quotations. Silver
bullion, it is reported. is firm at 53H
pence per ounce. Allowing for exchange.
this represents a value in Federal coin
of 81 1877 per ounce. The cost of ship
msnt and insurance between Eureka and
London is less that three cents per
ounce. Silver should be worth In this
camp at least 81 10, instead OF the 81
now paid.
The Virginia Enterprise remarks: It
appears that James G. Fair. Superin-
tendent Of the bonanza mines, instead OF

supposed. is in Washington city. News
arrived here that be has contracted to
furnish the Government all the silver
bullion produced by the Consolidated
Virginia and California mines for one
year. This, with the large amount of
small silver coins lately struck off at the
Carson Mint, looks as though . partial
return to specie payment were contem-
plated.

that character is series of speculations
on the physical consequences Of cutting
q ship canal through the Istbmus Of
Panama. The Herald says that one Of
the possible consequences Of the con-
temptation Of the undertaking is the pos
sible detection Of the Gulf stream which
it is thought would have the effect Of
rendering the British Islands and North
ern Coast Of Europe almost uninhabit-
able.

PuBLIc ScHooLs.-One or two OF the
mora obscure papers Published in this
State, seem to be enleavoring to get up
some kind Of 70 controversy concerning
the public schools. What the object is
to be attained or the grounds Of com
plant do not seem to be very clear.
This State IL blessed with an excellent
system Of common schools. supported
by very liberal endowments. both from
the State aud the several countries.
They moreover appear to efficiently con-
Quoted and supervised. This being the
condition Of things and as the disturbing
OF sectarian instruction In the schools is
by the constitution OF this State expressly
forbidden. Il would seem as il the fore
bodings Of the papers referred to were
entirely unwarranted by the present state
OF affairs. They seem to want to acquire
. little cheap notoriety by making much
ado about nothing. When the common
school system of the State is attacked
either insidiously or openly 1t will be
time enough to protect II, till then it is
no use to make fuss about nothing.

Romantic Revolut1onist.

A Wilmington On. Co. pa
iper tells a romance Of the revo-
LUTON, which romances, by the
way, abound this Centennial
year. 1t says that during the
occupancy of Wilmington by a
portion of Lord CORVALLIS ar
my, an English officer who had
been desperately smitten by the
charms of an American beauty,
wrote the name of the fair one
on pane of glass in the house
in which he was quartered. Sub
'sequently he married the young
lady, and the young couple, af-
ter spending some years abroad,
passed the remainder of their
lives in New York. By a sin
gular coincidence, their son,
nearly half century afterward,
being a visitor at the house i'll
question, recognized the name
on the glass as his mother's.-
And now comes another incl
dent of the legend. Recently
a son Of the visitor, and a grand
son Of the British officer, being
we'll informed Of the story,
came to Wilmington to search
for the historic pane of glass.
This gentleman's name is John
w. Borrow, Of New York City.
When he arrived he found that
the ancient house had been re-
modelled by its present owner.
Search being made, the identi-
cal pane of glass was found,
and Mr.. Barrow took it back
with him to New York.

Rat Fishing.

We have fished for rats with
a hook and yanked them from
the hole screeching and scream
ing in a lively manner. If you
have plenty of time and have
got plenty of rats about the
house, just take a hook, attach
a light wire five or six inches
long to it, then attach a stout
string to the wire, and batting
your hook with a small piece
of tough meat, sit down near a
rat-hole with your hook in the
hole under the floor, and see
how the goose flesh will break
out on you when you get a bite.
And when you feel that the rat
is hooked, the goose flesh will
give way to prickly heat as you
pull the yelling rodent out into
daylight and slap him against
something hard to remind him
that you are master of the sit
uation. Try it, and see if the
rat don't make it lively for you

The Origin Of Odd-Fel'
lows.

The origin of the Order of
| 0dd-FaloWssi is of ancient date;
it was established by. the Roman
soldiers in camp after the Order
of the Israelites, during the
reign of Nero, the Roman EN-
peror, who commenced his reign
A. ID. 55, at which time they
were called Fellow Citizens
The name Of Odd-Fellows was
given to this order of men CA.
ID. 76) by Titus Caesar, Emper-
or Of Rome, from their know
ing each other by night as well
as by day, and for their fidelity
to him and their country. He
not only gave them the name
Odd-Fellows, but, at the same
time, as a pledge of friendship,
presented them with a dispen-
sation, engraved the Auch of
Titus Cesar, the Ark Of Cove
nant, the Golden Candlesticks,
the Golden Table, (weighing
one great talent,) the Sun for
n. g., the..Moon and Stars for
V. G., a Lamp for Secretary,
the Lion for Guardian, the
Dove for Warden, and the En-
blems. of Mortality for the G.
NJ. II is very probable that the
first Odd-Fellows made their
appearance in North Wales a.
bout the time an invasion was
made by one of Titus Caesars
generals (Agricola) on North
Wales. and shortly afterward on
the Island Of Mono, now called
Anglesea. The first account
we have of the Order spread
ing into other countries is the
fifth century, when it was es-
tablished in the Spanish Domin-
ions, under the Roman dispen-
sation; and in the sixth centu-
ry by King Henry in Portugal;
and in the twelfth century it
was established in France, and
afterward in England by John
D'Neyille, attended by the five
knights from France, who formed
a Loyal Grand Lodge in Lon
don, which order remained I'M
til the reign Of George III,
when part of them began to
form themselves into a Union,
and q portion of them remain
unto this day; on this account
the lodges which remain, and
are very numerous throughout
the world, call themselves Loyal
Ancient Independent Odd-Fel- |
lows, being a portion of the O.
riginal body.

An interesting case has been
decided in Pittsfeld, Mass. A
Hebrew was brought before the
court for Sabbath breaking. He
brew Bible in hand, he showed
that his Sunday was Saturday, and
that he kept it strictly. The de-
cision was at least curious. The
judge told him that the statute
of Massachusetts, permitted him to
transact his regular business on
Sunday, but did not authorize him
to go fishing on that day. If he
had been a professional fisherman
the opinion would have been diff
terent. He was doomed to pay a
fine which made the fish cost him
considerably more than the mar
ket price.

Romance of the War.

Sixteen years ago wealthy In.
dianapolis gentleman had q daugh
ter who was the pet of the house.
hold and a society belle. A young
man, a son Of another prominent
citizen, wooed the daughter, and,
failing to find favor in the eyes of
her father, projected and carried
to a successful issue an eloppment.
The young couple were married
and located in Texas. At the
eutbreak Of the war the young
husband enlisted in Confederate
regiment, and the wife, disguised
in male attire, enlisted in the same
regiment, and followed her hus-
band to the field. During one of
the engagements in which the
regiment participated the wife was
wounded by minnie ball, and
the husband still ignorant of her
disguise, helped to carry her from
the field. In dressing the wound
the sex of the dashing trooper was
discovered and she was discharged
from the regiment and went
North. The husband was killed
in a succeeding engagement. Her
relatives never forgave the marri-
age, and refused to recognize the
wife when she returned. The ia.
ther still lives in Indiana, and is
counted one of the wealthiest cit.
zens, while the woman, now poor
and broken in health, lives in a
miserable little house in an un-
frequented alley of indianapolis.

MEMORIES OF THE HEART

Hf ftE
We may shred the moss-veil from the rose
The blossom from the spray;
The bloom that pearls the luscious grape
A touch may brush away.
The vine may loosen from the tree
Which once it clung to fast;
But the heart will keep its memories
Till life itself be past.
The gold must die from sunset skies,
The purple from far hills;
The foam-fowers fade from opal waves:
Drouth hush the babbling rills
The earth grows cold and passionless
Meath winters bitter blast;
But the heart will keep its memories
Till life itself be past.
AmN n = ~
The flush will fade from cheek and brow;
@The sweet smile wane and die;
The freshness leave the coral lip;
Tears dim the brightest eye.
Youth, beauty, hope and happiness,
And love, may die at last;
But the heart will keep its memories
Till life itself be past
