Virtue.

4 very heartrending story comes from Nantes, twcnty-nine miles north
 west of Paris Victorine Voisin, a
 young girl of nineteen, was last May
 elected Rusiere, or the most virtuous girl in the place, and was engaged tO be married Dn the l4th of this month but, meanwhile, some miscreant spread reports injurious to her character, and even wrote an anonymous letter, con- taining these charges, to her lover. He sent his brother to speak to her about these statements, and the latter, after a long conversation, during winch the
 poor girl grew te ribly excited, showed
 her the letter. She read it, burst from
 him and plunged into the Seine. A pOstmOriem examination, conducted in the presence of the Municipal au-
 thorities, proved that there was not a shadow of foundation for the vile sean dals Exchange.
 This is an affecting story and natur- ally fills the reader with sorrow and
 wrath, but at the same time we can't
 understand what the good people of
 Nantes mean by electing young girl
 the most virtuous in the place." We
 never knew there were degrees in that
 sort of thing There are certainly va rlous meanings to the word virtuous, ''
 but in the sense evidently meant in the
 present instance, we can't see how one
 girl can be more virtuOus than another unless the "other" isn't virtuous at all. And fancy your feelings to live in a place and have some one elected over your sisters or daughters as being more virtuous than they If comparisons are usually odious they are doubly so in the case at hand. The thing re- minds us too much of Marryatl's story of the maid who plead in mitigation oi her lapse from virtue and its results that the baby was only little bit of a one From reading the Nantes nara ton we certainly get the impression that virtue is a rarity among girls in Nantes, and that even alter they have found and crowned a solitary specimen, the first breath of suspicion necessi- tates a postmortem examination to de teImine the matter "ROsiere cleo tions are thoroughly bad Let the bloom on the peach alone, and don't handle the delicately painted wings of the butterfly

JAMES MCCAIN informs us, says the Reese River Reyeille, that the sulphu- ret ore in the Patriot mine, at depth of 450 feet, has given away to chloride. This is something very unusual in ledges in this section, for chloride 10 come in at so great a depth, and is the first instance of the kind of which we have any knowledge. The ledges of this district. and those immediately ad- iacent. carry chloride ore al and near tho surface, which gives out and is re- placed by sulphuret at the depth where water Is encountered.

Irrigation of the Colorado Desert

The report of Lieutenant Wheeler's
 survey for the year ending June 30 l 1876, contains the results of the eXami-
 nation made to ascertain whether that l DC rtion of tbe Colorado Desert below the level of the sea can be irrigated from the river. The general fact that no canal for such irrigation can be made within the limits of our State,
 was published in 1875, and Lieutenant Wheeler was not authorized to make any surveys in Lower California. That such a canal is practicable Is implied
 by the flowing of the water into the Desert in time of flood, running a long distance in Mexican territory Our government should solicit leave of
 Mexico to make the surveys and 10 take the land needed for the canal if the re- port should be favorable. The sister Republic would lose nothing by the en- terprise. The amount of water passing Fort Yuma in March is 7600 cubic feet every second, enough to irrigate l,53O,- 900 acres or about 22,000 square miles, while the depressed area-we suppose thIs means the area below the level of the seals only 1900 square miles Alta.

WILD HOGS IN CALIFORNIA.

The tule lands of this county are every
where inhabited by droves of hogs that
have doubtless originally been propagated
for domestic stock, which have escaped in
to the Jungle and have become as wild as
the famous game infesting the Black Forest,
the hunting of which affords so much
amusement to the German nobility. They
live and thrive on the succulent roots to be
found in the tules, and appear moderately
fat whenever they are seen. They are ex-
ceedingly shy, however, and it is only by
accident that one catches glimpse of them
as they instinctively avoid the haunts of
men. They are trapped and caught occa-
sionally in an ingenious manner by the tule
farmers who build small but very strong
corra1s or pens on their stamping ground.
A heavy gate made to drop perpendicular
ly, is fitted SO as to close the coral when
down. This is raised and held by trap,
to which string leading to the ground is
attached Barley is then Scattered on the
ground inside the corral, and in continuous
lines for some distance in different direc'
tions. The corral having been built owe,
the trails of the hogs, they are not long
scenting the barley, and once inside the
corral they can scarcely fail to spring the
trap in eating the barley. A drove of :
dozen or more has before now been cap
tured in this manner. The young ones arc
easily domesticated, but the old ones are
slaughtere at once.

arranged his hair and put on an overcoar:
Crossing to the door Of Madame Gerdy's
room, he listened attentively for any
sound that might proceed from the sick
chamber.
All was silent, as if death already reign
ed there upon which he returned to his
study, and, double-locking the door, de-
scended the stairs on tip-toe, and, in few
moments after, was in the courtyard at
the back of the house.
Opening small, green door, half hid
den in ivy, with key which he took from
his pocket, he closed it softly behind him,
and was soon lost to sight in the darkness
of the night.
