by noon aqhave become suddenly richer.
a{n-the afternoon chunks on Utmost pure
gold wefe1aken out, and tho decompoeed
sstuff th6g filled the inters:ices between
the rocks was SO rich in gold that Pike
began to wash it out with a pan. From
three pansfull washed Monday after.
noon he obtained gold estimated to be
worth between a 600 and 5000. That
evening he came into town, and giving MS
hint Of what he had got, invited US to
20 out and see it. On Tuesday afternoon.
4in-oompaay with Sheriff Nice ormick. we
visited the mine. We found Bell with q
pan of gold in his hands worth from one
thousand to fifteen hundred dollars, which
he a1sm ed us all came from one pan of
dirt. "But." said he, if you don't be-
lieve it, Twill wash another pan and show
you" We told him to wash. The pan
was sent down in the shaft and soon re-
turned filed withHa mass of muddy, rocky
stuff that sparkled all over with pieces Of
gold. This was washed out and found to
contain fully as much of the precious
metal, if not more, than the one he had
Just finished panning when We arrived.
1t was really the greatest sight we ever
saw, and Mccormick, who had mined in
California in its palmiest days, SAYS it
knocked the spots off anything he ever
saw except on one particular occasion.
Bell having convinced us of the richness
of his mine, took us to his house to show
US the proceeds of his previous days
panning, that we might be convinced of
what he had told us. The sight was one
more easily imagined than realized. As
we looked upon the pans of gold before
US we thought of Aladdin and his magic
lamp, and wondered whether the story had
not been suggested by some such reality
as was before us. On Wednesday evening
Mr.. Bell tit is "Mr." now, since he has
lots Of gold-it was Pike beforc,) was in
town again, and he informed us what we
saw was nothing; that he ha taken out
SIC, 600 in three pans that day; that he
had taken out, all told, up to that time,
between $50, 600 and $35, 600, and that he
had an offer and was abont to-sell for
$20, 900. When asked his notion for SELL
ing, he said he would get away with about
$50 900, and that was money enough for
him. To he sure it is good stake, and
when VIC consider that it was made in
three days, it must he confessed that the
chances for making sudden fortune in
California are not all gone.-PLacer (Cal.)

The Russian Peasants.

THE Russian Commune, or MIR, is the
most prominent among Russian instltu-
tions. 1t constitutes a sort of democratic
government. The ASSEMBLY" which is
composed of the heads of families, makes
all the laws, directs all during the har-
vest, manages the labor, Furnishes those
who do not pay their taxes, etc. 1t elects
the Elder "a sort of Mayor, the Collector,
the watchmen of the night, the Burgher of
the village. At certain periods the Gen.
trail Administration reviews all the male
peasants of the Commune, from the latest
born 10 the centenarian, and each Com
mune pays to the Government an annual
sum proportionate to this enumeration.
All families are collectively and individ-
ually responsible for the payment of this
sum. II is important, therefore, that every
one should work, as idleness does not pre-
vent the payment of individual taxes, and
they must be borne by others. The sys-
tenn of corporal punishment still remains
in use against those who do not pay their
dues.
The Commune distributes land between
its members IS it judges proper, accord
ing tc the resources of the applicants, or,
rather, their ability to work; beside
which, every family owns house and
garden, which is its hereditary property,
and is never disturbed by the other period.
ical redistributions. Many peasants 60 TO
work in cities, and remain there q large
portion of the year, and some permanent
ly; but this does not prevent their title to
their rural MONIES, or exempt them from
the tax. The women and children remain
In the villages. When work fails, or old
age or sickness arrives, the Russian peas
ant retires to his country: home, and the
law preserves his cabin, his agricultural
tools, his horse and household furniture
when he becomes helpless and insolvent.
There is q wonderful aptitude in these
peasants to support heat ana cold. You
see coechmen quietly seated ON their
boxes, at the doors of theatcrs or grand
establishments, in the most excessive cold
you see tile same men as placidly sup
porting the excessive heat Of vapor- baths.
In most of the villages there is . public
bath Of this description, but instances are
common where peasants take their vapor-
bath in the bake. house where the family
bread is baked. The operation is always
pushed to the most extreme limit that man
can endure; and often in winter the
peasant leaves this exccssives heat, and
rolls In snow. Capable of resisting all
temperatures, Infatuated to live ON little,
workers, and disciplined, the Russian
peasants possess all the qualities to make
good soldiers-7rnnssoted from a Erench
