A BRILLIANT AND BRIEF HISTORY.


The Atlantic and Mississippi Steamship Com
pany was organized in October, 1865 under A
charter obtained from the Legislature of Mis-
eouri, with the intention of running steamships
from ST. Louis and New Orleans to Europe az
other foreign ports. The ipcorporators were
James II. Lucas. Adolphus Meier, Fraucs Whit
taker and others, with a capital OF 50, 000, 900
This charter was procured Il ON the incorperators
by the following steamboat owners: John j. Roe,
Alex Ii. smith & Co., henry Amss & Co, John g.
81, lin, Barton and Daniel Able, E. F. Dix,
Thesaore Laveille, Garter & Conn, S illwel',
Powell \ Co., John N. Boinger, and
others. of st. Louis: and Henry A. Jones,
James W. and Thomas 6aff, J. II. Barker,
Thomas sherlock, and others OF Cincinnati, who
sold the following boats to the company, viz ::
Mississippi, Missouri, Ben Stickney, Niagara, Ida
Handy, Luna, Olive Branch, Julia, W. Il. Carter,
Hannibal. Mary L. Forsyth, Atlantic, Mollie
Able. w. Il. Arthur, Luminary. James White,
Edward Wslsh, City of III, mpaIs. J. @. Swan and
Continental. for the sum OF s., ass, 900. This
being $25S, 600 more than the au horized capital
stock, it forced the company to pay this amount
pro rata to the stot kholders notes of three six
and nine months, bearing five o. cent interest !;
besides firm owning in the Ida Handy and Luna
an interest valued at $40, 900 were paid in cash.
This put debt on the company OF sos. 900 TO
start WITH to say nothing of the money borrow ed
on the company's crseit to start the boats out
with, which was about $40 900 more. The COM
pany lost during the first ten months Of it's exist.

ONE OF THE ADVANTAG OF A
NEVADA CITY.-We have been eat
ing daily, since January, fresh tur-
nlps, green peas, asparagus. and all
the rest picked the previous day
fresh from the gardens of Califor-
mia. For a month we have been
eating fresh strawberries and Los
Angeles oranges, until we are half
weary of them. In addition, our
market has been daily supplied
with half dozen varieties Of sea
and river fish, and all sorts of game.
We have had no need of refrigera-
tor cars. Nature fixed all that. 1t
causes refrigerating air to always
compass the track of the Central
Pacific over the mountains, and veg
etables and fruit reaching here in
eighteen hours from San Francisco
are as fresh as though just gather
ed from the garden. Aud, take the
whole year around, no people in
the world, save in San Francisco,
have any better or fresher food than
do the jewellers under the shadow
of Mount Davidson. And, consid-
ering all things, food is as cheap as
1t Is fine in this market. A break
fast or dinner, including all the
substantials, together with straw
berries and cream, only costs seven
ty-five cents or dollar, while for
half dollar man can get as good
meal as he desires in these hard
times. And yet we are six thous-
and feet above the sea, On the side
of desert mountain, place where
we have to depend upon the out
side world for every thing, even to
the water we drink.-Virgiuia City

The pastor of q church in one of
our large cities said to me not long
ago: 81 have officiated at fortY
weddings since / came here, aud in
every case, save one, l felt that the
bride was running an awful risk.
Young men of bad habits and fast
tendencies never marry girls of
their own sort, but demand q wife
above suspicion. So pure, sweet
women, kept from the touch of evil
through the years OF their girlhood,
giving themselves, with all their
costly dover of womanhood, to
men who in impure: lives and base
associations, have learned to I'M
dervalue all that belongs to them.
and then find no time for repeut-
ance in the sad after years. There
is but one way out of this that can
see, and that is for you,-the young
women of the country,-to REQUIRE.
in association and marriage, purity
for purity, sobriety for sobriety,
and honor for honor. There is no
reason why thu young men of this
Christian land should not be lust as
virtuoHs as the young women. and
if the loss of society and love he
the price they are forced to nav for
vice, they will not pay it. I admit
with sadness that not all our young
women are capable of this high
standard for themselves or others.
but believe there are enough ear
nest, thoughtful girls in the Society
of our country to work wonders If
faithfully aroused. "-Harpers.

The rapid growth of the live stock
business in Colorado may be under
stood from the following statement
made by J. NJ. Wilson, President OF
Colorado Cattle Growers, Association,
at their sixth annual meeting, recently
held at Denver. During the past
year large herds of cattle have been
driven into the country from Texas
and elsewhere-not less than two
hundred thousand having been driven
from Texas alone. The great country
lying to the east of US, which but two
years ago was grazed by nothing but
buffalo, is now occupied by thousands
of head of cattle. Beaver Creek, the,
South Platte, Republican and all their
tributaries, which were looked upon
as being out of the world and only fit
for Indians and wild animals, are now
occupied by herds of cattle. This
year the herds of Colorado and Kansas
will mlngle, and the Great American
Desert, which has interviewed betwixt
US and the states, will be bridged oyer
by the cattle men, and a continual
line of settlements will exist from here
to the Mississippi. The increase in
number and size of our herds has fore
ed us to occupy and Craze these lands.''

Napoleon. Estimate of Christ.

Napoleon, when at st. Helena,
asked Count Monthon, scan you
tell me who Jesus Christ WASP"
The question was declined, when
Napoleon proceeded: "Well, then,
l will tell you, Alexander Caesar,
Charlemange, and myself have
founded great empires; but upon
what did these creations of our
genius dependP Upon force. Je-
sus alone founded his empire on
love, and to this very day millions
would die for him.
think I understand something
Of human nature, and I tell you all
these were men, and / am a man.
Jesus Christ was more than man.
L have inspired multitudes with
such enthusiastic devotion that
they would have died for me; but
to do this it was necessary that 1
should be visibly present, with the
electric influence of my looks, of
my words, of my voice. When /
saw men, and spoke to them, /
lighted up the flame of self devo-
tlon in their hearts. Christ has
alone succeeded in so raising the
mind of man toward the Unseen,
that it becomes insensible to the
barriers of time and space. Across
a chasm of eighteen hundred years
Jesus Christ makes q demand
which is beyond all others difficult
to satisfy. He asks for that which
a philosopher may often ask In
vain at the hand of his friends. or
his father of his children, or
bride of her spouse, or a mau of
his brother. He asks for the hu-
man heart. He will have it entire
ly to himself. He demands it
Internationally, and forthwith His
demand is granted. Wonderful!
In defiance of time and space, the
soul of man, with all its powers
and faculties, becomes an annexa-
ton of the empire of Christ. All
who sincerely believe in him expe-
renee that remarkable supernatu-
raj love toward him. This phe.
nomenon is unaccountable. 1t Is
altogether beyond the scope of
mans created powers. Time, the
great destroyer, IS powerless to
extingulsh this sacred flame; time
can neither exhaust It's strength
nor put limit to its range. This
1t is, strikes me most. Ihave Oft
en- thought of 1t. This it is which
proves to me quite convincingIy
the divinity Of Jesus Christ"

The Cardiff (Wales) Times fur
nishes US with the following: "Why
does not some one write history
of remarkable gems? 1t it were
properly done it would contain in
cidents enough to make a most in
teresting narrative. Here is a small
contribution to the suggested work.
There is q diamond now for sale at
Brigham Young's capital, Salt Lake
City. 1t weighs s IL karats, and is
half an inch in diameter. For ma
ny hundred years it was in the fam
lily of an East Indian Prince. By
him it was presented to Queen
Christina of Spain, who gave it to
her daughter Isabella, on the occa-
sion of her marriage. The ex-
Queen of Spain was forced to part
with it. After che had abdicated, a
gentleman from St. Louis, United
States, bought the jewel at an auc.
ton in London. Subsequently it
was stolen from him at Saratoga
Springs. He got it back by giving
a reward of GI,000, and mo CUES
tons asked. AfterWard the pur-
chaser went to Salt Lake City.
where he sold the stone for mining
property, valued at $4,000. The
mine developed well, and the lucky
SPECTATOR made over 100000 by
his bargain. The diamond passed
into rude hands. The miner who
had bought it was cheated out of it
by some Chicago gamblers, who
sold it to diamond dealer. who in
turn sold it to the firm in Salt Lake
City. now possesses the stone"
