IL Is when the moon Is in certain position. By standing on these rocks and looking out into the ocean, you will see whales, seals and porpoises, which dart into the water and come out far beyond. Often the first notice you have of the whales approach, is by noticing the water which they spout up in the air. The prettiest of all of the scaly tribe, that l have seen in the water, Is the fying-fi which is white, and quite small. They suddenly appear from under the water, and then fly for several yards, and then dart under the water again. There are great many strange things to be seen there for those not accustomed 10 seeing the many wonders of the Ocean.

 Sunny Days usually come just after rainy ones, just as in life, bright. happy times come after sad and gloomy seasons. There is beautiful poem that says something like this:
 ''Be still sad heart and cease repining Behind the clouds the sun still shines. Thy fate is the common fate of all.
 Into each life some rain must fall.
 Some days must be dark and gloomy"

My Visit to the K. K. Mine in Nevada.

In company with my mother and few friends We stepped upon the cage, and were lowered into the shaft. The many levels re- minded me of the stories of ancient castles and their subterranean passages Upon ar irving at the eighth level we found many miners at work extracting ore. They were working by candle-light. The ore was hoisted to the surface in cars. While we were there they set of great many blasts, which frightened us very much. We also found specimens of lime, which were formed by the water dropping from the top of the tunnel, and were very pretty when brought to the light. It was very dark when we were coming up, and on arriving at the top we could hardly see.

Arizona and its Resources.
MOUNTAIN RANGES.


 The principal mountain ranges are the San Francisco, Blil Williams. Moggollon, Sierrr Blanca, Sierra Prietta, Pinal, Apache, Cor dileras, de Gila, Natanes ii ii Sias:.;;,;.l, Chiri- cahua, Dragoon, Santa Rita, Graham, Aztec, Hlalpai, Antelope, Cerbat and Hacquahilla The principal peaks are the San Francisco, which is about l4,0)O feet above the level of the sea- the Sierra Blanca, about I2,O00; Bill Williams. about 1l,O00, and Mount Union, about 10000. The highest noun tains are in Northern Arizona. The peaks above alluded to are within plain view of Prescott. The mountains and their foot hills are covered with dense forests of pine, oak, cedar, juniper and other trees
 RIVERS.
 The principal rivers are the Colorado. which is navigable for several hundred miles; the Gila, Salt, Verde, Bonita, Prieta. San Pedro, Beaver, Santa Cruz, White. Sipicue, Bill Williams and Little Colorado. Of these, the Giia and Salt Rivers, with their tributaries, drain that part of the Ter ritory lying south of the San Francisco and Mogoll0n Mountains and east of the Pres colt and Ehrenberg road. The Little Colo rado drains that part of the Territory lying north of the San Franci,co and Nogollon Mountains, and the Colorado drains the western side of the Territory.
 THE MINERAL WEALTH
 Of Arizona is unprecedented. Volumes could be filled with authentic accounts of the rich and extensive ore deposits. Silver. especially, is generally distributed, and is found m numerous places in the form of native silver, which yields an immense per centage of the metal. Rich placer mines are also successfully being worked, and are attracting many old Californians. who pre- dict a renewal of the great movement of lS4S, when tine true wealth of the region is understood. Copper and lead are also found Tn vast deposits, which are already being utilized, and will ultimately become of great value. Coal veins are stated to have been discovered in several localities. It can safely be asserted that in no other part of the mineral bearing territory of the Uni ted States IS there likely to be greater oe- velopment especially of valuable silver mines, for some time to come
 The shipments of ore and bullion to San Francisco are already important and rapidly Increasing in amount .

DELAYS ARE DANGEROUs.-If this axiom
is true respecting the ordinary affairs of life,
still more obviously is it so as regards the OK

cally recognize this plain truth when health
is in the balance. OF the many premonito-

the most prophetic of peril. Arrest it at the

Charles Tienan, a gentleman gambler,
roc dealing the cards not a stones throw
som the Southern Hotel, st. Louis, when
.ho cry of fire ran through the streets. He
jronped the cards and elbowed his way
thrdnch the crowd in front of the hotel.
The shrieks of affrighted women rang in
his ears; lie sprang to the rescue and
taking helpless woman in his arms carried
bor ont TO the street. Then he went back
and rescued another woman from death.
He was terribly scalded, but there were
voices still pleading for help, and he went
hack into the fiery furnace only to meet
his own death. All that was left of the
heroic gambler was laid out in a handsome
coffin, and the reporters state that many
ladies and gentlemen called at the gam
bling.house on Wednesday to look upon
his face and grieve over his untimely fate.
"Whatever of offenses," says the Republican,
Imay have stained his soul were wiped
out by the encircling flames, and from
that baptism of fire the spirit of Charles
Tienan rose pure and undefiled, while his
name will live for years in the memory of
those who read of his heroism as that of as
true a hero as history knows" The out
cast who preys upon his fellow-men for
years and then perishes on an errand to
save is popular type of character in the
West. 1t is John Oakhurst or Jack
Hamlin with more of the saving grace.
Heroism is heroism the world over, in
sinner or saint, gambler or deacon. But il
is easier for a gambler to sacrifice his life
under the pressure of excitement than it is
for an ordinary sinner. His habits of life
make him reckless in taking enormou,
risks. To place his own life at stake anC
to play with fire for another life-it i
herOism under the guise of game o
chance.-N Y. Tribune

They have come to feel the importance of
better understanding between classes and

secession, and war having disappeared,
they find at last that their peace and pros

terests are and must be, in the nature oi

feeling against the colored race was now

A new departure in Matchmaking is an
nounced at Auburndale, Mass. With the
ordinary watch a chief item of expense is
in adjustment. This is now performed by
hanging the watch in various positions, as
certaining thus whether the balance wheel
is heavier at one point than at another,
and tightening the wheel wherever it is
too heavy. There is further adjustment
needed to compensate for differences of
temperature.) The new watch contains
fewer works than the ordinary one, and
these are set around the center and driven
by handspring beneath them. By means
OF toothed rim around the watch, inside,
all the works are made to perform COM
plete rotation around the center of the
watch-aside from their own proper
motions-completing the performance
once every two hours. Any irregularity
from difference Of weight of parts of the
machinery is thus wholly compensated,
no matter what may be the position in
which the watch is carried, since in any
and all positions the centre of gravity for
the machinery, for any two hours as a
whole, will be uniform. A factory has been
started to make the new watches, and it is
expected that they will be cheaper than the
old ones. At all events the invention can
be properly designated as a revolution in
Matchmaking.
