FROM MONO AND ESMERALDA COUN-
TIES.


Judge McClinton, formerly Of the Warm
Spring, returned from Mono and Esmeralda
counties yesterday, and his report respecting
the futurlty of that section of the great min
eral country are, to put it in mild way, fab
ulous. He says that Aurora is prosperous,
and that the loug looked for good times are
near at hand. D. O. Mills and other capital
lists have determined to resume work, in dead
earnest on the once famous Real del Monte
and other mines lying contiguous Aurora
will yet see its best days. Respecting Bodie,
he says, every day brings to light new devol-
opments of surprising richness. Every hill
within the mineral belt seems to be mass of
gold bearing quartz. Recent uncoverings in
the Bechtel Blackhawk, Syndicate and Red
Cloud mines, together with the immense body
of rich ore in the Standard mine. insure the
mining prosperity of Bodie for years to come.
The Judge says that this will suffice for the
present; he does not want to tell all he knows
for fear of iniuring his reputation for veracity.
Our informant went to San Francisco last
night, where he will very likely astound the
natives with his narratives respecting the
great wealth lying buried in Mono and Es-
meralda counties. The Judge is well posted
in mining matters, and much reliance can be
placed in his judgement.

A SERENADE,-Willi lillian Lynch, who has for

AN INCIPIENT CONFEDERATION.

While the Ormsby House is undergoing its
extensive repairs and the sidewalk is numbered
up with all sorts of rubbish, the new host
considerably permits the coal oil lamp which
is placed in the lantern in front of the house
to burn all night to prevent near sighted or
intoxicated pedestrians from breaking their
necks. At eight o'clock on Thursday evening
the lamp was hung as usual, when a young
street arab climed up the lamp post to light
a cigarette; the young gamin lost his balance
and down he came, lamp and all. Seeing
the mischief he had accomplished, he seam
pered off to some place unknown. In the
the rubbish on the sidewalk became
gnited from the burning coal oil. The fire
was happily discovered in the nick of time by
an attache of Wells, Fargo & Co., who nip
ped the same in the bud before it had an OPP
to make much Roadway, otherwise

The Mother and her Family.

Philosophy is rarely found. The most

who was apparently the poorest aud the
most iorlorn OF the human species so true

and none act upon invariably, viz that all
happiness does not depend on outward cir
cumstances. The wise woman to whom !
have alluded, walks to Boston, distance of
twenty or thirty miles, to sell a bag of brown
thread and stockings, and then patiently
walks back again with her little gains. Her
dress, though tidy, is a grotesque collection
Of shreds and patches, coarse in the ex-
treme. "Why don't you come down in
wagon " said |, when observed she was
weary with her long journey. 1--WE hav'nt
got any horse" she replied /" the neighbor-

you ?" "IIe is good mamie does all he

voice that said this had troubled tone, and
the face that looked up was very sad " Your
father will be angry" said an aunt who was
sitting in the room with book in her hand.
The boy raised himself from the sofa, where
he had been lying in tears for half an hour,
and with touch of indignation in his voice,
answered. " He'll be sorry, not angry. Father
never gets angry" For few moments the
aunt looked at the boy half curiously, and

was in her hand. The boy laid himself

The Rest OF God.


People want rest. o how we long for
it Now the Lord gives his people rest, lie
make us TO lie down IN green pastures aud
leadeth us beside still waters, There was
a friend of mine in England who told me
that she went out to ride one day, and met
with shepherd with a large flock of sheep
in front of him. Instead of being like the
good shepherd, he was not leading them,
but driving them-and if they stopped to
eat the grass by the way-side dog started
out TO scare them on, and she got so in
terested, as she thought he was very cruel,
that she Just watched them for a long time (;
but by-and.by he opened the gate, and they
passed into beautiful park, and she saw IA
beautiful stream running through that park,
and after he had got them into that enclo-
sure they went down TO that stream and
drank, and then laid down by the side OF
that river and then she understood why he
didn't want them to eat by the roadside
there was danger there, lie wanted them
TO lie down in green pastures and beside the
still waters. Now that is not a good illus
traton, for this good shepherd never drives
us. lie will not force us into heaven. But
you will find that the sheep who are willing
to follow him-the men and women who
have no will of their own, but have only
Gods will-how they prosper rl-Moody.

Influence OF a Young Woman.

You are sister and can mould a brother
mind to virtue and to usefulness. You are
daughter, and for your sake your father
may put forth efforts of unbounded might,
You may hereafter bear the honored name
of wife, or the more sacred one of mother,
Your influence may then determine the char
acter of your husband and fix the destiny OF
your children. 1t may make your son an
Augustine, an Oberlin, Wesley, or it may
leave him to curse his race with pestiterous
teachings, like Socinus, or Murray; with
wars OF ambition, like Napoeon or with a
baneful legacy of infdelty and vice, like
Hume or Carlyle. Say not that because you
are woman your influence must be limited
but remember that your sex places you at
the headwaters of the great riverof humanity
where pebble may change the direction OF
the streaInlet.-Dr. Wise.

APRIL MEMORIES.

The lilac leaves put forth anew
The spring-time's early pledges,
The young grass wears its greenest hue
Beneath the caves broad ledges.
The birds flock back TO Northern bowers
And All the air with singing
The harblngers Of early flowers
On sunny hill-sides springing.
Afar upon the breezy hills
The soft, blue mist Ia sleeping;
And 10 the unfettered, glancing rills
Tomelody are leaping.
The bland pure air Of spring, replete
with many sound Of gladness.
Brings back yearnlng deep and sweet,
But most akin to sadness.
The old-time memories come again
Like incense round me wreathiag-
The dropping Of the early rain.
The odorous zephyrs breathlngj
The consciousness Of solitude
Which strangely seems to cheer me.
On which no other might ntrude,
Though all the world were near me.

Which time las only mellowed.
