NOTES AND QUERIES.

the wreck of the late residence of The
American Man. It will look better in the
useful condition of stove-wood than in the
unseemly attitude and proportions of ruin.
That structure has not been in very high
state of architectural solvency for many
months past. Indeed, we cannot call tC
mind its occupancy by any of the more useful
ayocations since it was temporarily the abode
of the arts and sciences under the Madeira
regime. When it was the home of the
American Man it had no fixed character
being alternately a chair infirmary and a
hospital for disembodied spirits Speaking
of the arts, Mr. c. B. Mcclellan is painting a
most accurate and excellent likeness of
Charley Sweeney, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward
Sweeney's little bOy--dead some months since
This first rate artist deserves a very much
more liberal support than he is receiving, these
days. -. The position of assistant assayer at
the L. S. Mint in this city has been filled by
the appointment of Mr., Augustus Hebber-
ling to that position He is thoroughly
acquainted with the science of assaylng, has
served long and efficiently as an attache of
the Mint and is thoroughly well deserving of
this promotion. We have never mentioned
the great press which is erecting in the coin
ing room We have been thinking we would
describe it. But not now. We hesitate to
make this column too wildly exciting. They
are pretty much done with the hard labor of
setting up this powerful machine. When it
is ready for work it will be employed crunch
ing out trade dollars and twenty dollar pieces.
When it is busy with these latter coins it
will be profitable to obtain permit from Mr..
Dague to hold your hat under the dropping
place for an hour or two. Mr.. Charles
W. Friend has returned from brief visit to
San Francisco Having disposed of his
business here, he will 60 to the Black Hills
And this is the damage our dull times are
making taking away some of our very best
and most industrious citizens. We are sorry |
to lose Mr.. Friend for many reasons. What |
shall we do for weather without him? As |
to the consideration of the weather, it is but |
just to say that the Pogonip asserted itself on |
yon Sierra yesterday. 1t glowered and gloomed |
and made a dismal, threatening West. But |
We strain the eye of anticipation through
these present clouds of dependency and see,
growing up out of the mists and vapors and
depressing black clouds the bright abundent
verdure of healthful and vigorous prosperity
the prosperity of comfort and good cheer.
We are not rash enough to foretell recur-
renee of flush times; I'VE have all been too
much carried off our feet by the fever of false
hopes and cxtravagant fancies already, but we
see solvency in the substantial blessings of soil
md crops and favoring weather;we see that the
heavens and the surface of the earth and the
growing things which keep man from want
re promised; and there is no reason for de-
hing to be assured against the sad decay of
90 many communities of the mountains
7here the cessation of the gold product has +
cen followed by a complete and irevocable 5
itality. Our dependence is upon the Com a
took mainly, of course. That means of sus- n
entation is not yet exhausted, nor will it be, o
S we believe, for many years to come. We o
re merely reminding ourselves that we are F
leasureably self-sustaining and not at all on q
he verge of starvation scarce as the dollars Ia
re, and faint as the hope is in some mems HI
carts. Abiding to bad luck, Col. James IL
