TWENTY YEARS AFTER.

A gentleman of this city recently
visited several of the northern counties
OF California. Among other places to
which he went was his old mining camp,
which he had not seen for twenty years.
He found but few dilapidated shanties
where he had left quite spruce-looking
little town. In the shade of a few OF the
cabins he saw seated sleepy looking
gray-bearda that seemed to tell of the
days of as" but not face that he
knew. In vain he asked about Bill
Stakes, Jim Fisher, with his one eye;
Poker Jack, Stubb and Twist; the gray
boards only shook their heads. He went
on to where his diggings had been. The
ground was all torn up and washed
away. bitches had Disappeared old
landmarks ln the shape of huge powders
had been blasted to atoms, and even the
bills-shorn of their trees-seemed not
the same.
Feeling az though in the presence of the
bones of dear and long-remembered
friend, our Virginian seated himself in
the shade of "A tree and ran over in his
mind the many ups and downs he had
seen in the twenty years that had elapsed
since he left the spot
After sitting for some time in this
musipg and melancholy mood, he saw
that he was not alone in the old diggings
A man was seated under tree on the
opposite side OF the canyon, apparently
engaged in studying the scene before
him.
Crossing over to this man, our friend
began to compare notes with him. The
stranger said he was from Arizona, but
formerly "mined in those parts"
II mined right here twenty years
ago" said our Vireinian.
"lhs hlazes you did? Why, was
here then myself I just came here to-
day to take u look u, the old diggin's S
after bein' away twenty years.
81 See you have but one eye. Can it
be possible that yon are jim Fisher, my
old pard?"
We'll amt anybody but dim Fish
or if | know myself! II you was my
pard in these diggin's, you must be
Hurdy Bili?"
THE same! But I've got over the
weakness that gave me the name, and
now the name, too, is gone"
Both men, at the same instant, pro
duced bottles. and drank the old toast
Here's luck" in the old diggingt
twenty years after packing out OF them

THE PRECIOUS METALS OF THE
LAND OF INDIAN.

On the eastern coast OF the Gulf of
Akaba runs the ancient land of Midian,
and for long years past that country has
been supposed to TEEN with mineral
wealth. The Khediva whose viceregal
rule extends to indian, had long a de-
sire to put rumor to the test, and asked
Captain Burton to make visit of in.
specton. The party, which included n
secretary and an able mining engineer,
M, George Marie left Suez on the 2lst
of March last, and proceeded by the way
Of Moilah TO Eynounah, on the eastern
side of the gulf. These wadies are
curious. The coast is divided from the
