The cause of the rapid decline in the
price OF Ophir is explained in a dis
patch from Virginia City to the SENTI
MEL. The drift has passed out of the
ore and into porphyry. a distance Of
ten feet. The porphyry is adjudged
"a horse" by the experts, because OF
the absence Of the usual clay selvage
between the ore and porphyry. As to
that this scribe does not pretend to
say.

Pete Hanson. of Pine Station, in
formed us yesterday that the coal
burners Of that locality were again
starting in to burn coal, and that there
would be a large amount Of charcoal
made in a few weeks. We infer from
this that the coal- burners have faith
that the furnaces here will be kept
running during the winter months.

that Rover is a goner this time.

NEVADA.


VIRGINIA, New, Nov. -.
A Eumber of experts visited the
strike in the Opbir last night. They
found that the DRIFT has passed
through the ore body about ten feet
and was in porphyry, which was
merely a horse" as there was M
clay wall between it and the ore. The
ex perts considered the prospects good,
but not sufficient to warrant the ex-
element of the past few days.

HOaxing the King Of Burmah.

The Indian correspondent of the Lon
don Standard says an amusing hoax has
been played off upon the monarch of the
Golden Foot. 1t was announced to his
Majesty that an ambassador from the Sui
tan of Turkey had arrived at Rangoon,
and was awaiting the arrival of ship
that was laden with gifts of great value.
Naturally fattered by this compliment
from such a mighty potentate, the King
deputed an officer of rank to proceed to
Rangoon and conduct the ambassador to
his august but impatient presence. In
due time the envoy presented his creden-
tias in the shape of f1owery epistle from
the Sultan Of Roum, and was received
with much ceremony. Valuable presents
in return for those supposed to be on their
way were showered upon the ambassador
and his very limited suit, consisting of an
interpreter and cook. The ship from
Roum must have been detained by con-
trary winds, for the ambassador, having
further t. 90, was obliged to take leave
of hi, Majesty before his imperial masters
ffcrings made their appearance. So he
returned to Rangoon, but there the im-
posters fell out over the divisions OF the
spoils, which amounted to something like
$4,000. The cook, disguised with the
share allotted to himsef-nOt more than
eSO-gave information to the police, and
declared that the plot had been planned
by himself, the supposed interpreter zone
Hassan, broker), and the Burmese Of
fetal who contrived to be deputed to re-
ceive the ambassador. That exalted per-
sonage was himself liberated Arab or
Abyssinian slave who had come to Ran
COON as faquir on board native ship
from Nagore, and was simply tool in the
hands of the clever rogues, his accom-
plices. The Burmese officer naturally
pleaded not guilty, and seems to have
satisfied the King of his innocence, though
public opinion points to him as the
originator of the fraud.

The Hour Glass.

Sparkling, dancing down,
Merrily drop the sand,
While the golden hours so gaily pass,
Amid rose and lily, and soft green grass;
Wherefore so eager TO turn the glass,
Oh! dimpled baby hands?
Glttering, flashing downward,
In the glow of the April sun,
All! sweet white fingers, and sky blue eyes,
And cheeks as rosy as western skies;
yTis apity in Youths first Paradise
That the sands so swiftly run.
Stealing forever downward,
Gray tinging their virgin gold,
Pulses still culver, and hearts still beat,
But the road grows hard for the tired feet;
Surely the sky had more warmth and heat
And the sands showed brighter of old
Dropping dreariy downward,
The evening is well nigh DER,
The brightest and best the river have rossed
The bolt is shot and the venture lost
The bark on the last long wave is tossed,
The glass needs to turn no more.

Balky Horses.

Several of your correspondents are dis
cussing this question with various re-
suits. Several plans have been proposed,
some of them practicable, but often
involving too much trouble and labor.
Some claim that baking is the result of
improper education, but no one who will
carefully investigate the trouble can fail
to believe that the disposition of the ami
NAL has much to do with it. If horse
balks once and is whipped for it, the
chances are that he will balk again, and
if this remedy is repeatedly tried, the
bad habit is confirmed. In nine cases
out of ten. the entire absence of anything
like whip or cross language, and the
presence Of anything which will give the
animal new idea or take his attention
from the trouble. will usually cause him
to start promptly. In some cases, SIM
ply raising one fore-foot up until the
