THE BONANZA MINES.
Hopeful News Concerning Them
From an Eastern Paper-The
Average Monthly Stock Sales.
IN. 7. Mining Record, August IL

n. Il Mining Record, August i. a
We learn from what is to be re-
garded as an entirely authentic
EoErce, that $4,000 shares in the Con
solidated Virginia and the California,
of the late w. S. O'Brien, which,
under his will, were to he sold,
were purchased by Mr.. Flood; or at
least his check for the amount Of
the purchase money was given. This
affords nearly exact measure of the
estimate which those best acquainted
with their actual condition place
upon these two great mining enter
prises. We may add, that we learn
from source which we have hither-
to found well informed. that the shaft
OF the Consolidated Virginia will
have been restored to its normal
lifting-force within the next fort
night, at the latest; and, that the
Consolidated Virginia and California
will Immediately return to their for
mer daily production of some 600
tons of ore, each.
Considering that there are $40, 600
shares, both in the Consolidated
Virginia and the California, the
monthly transactions at the San
Francisco Stock Exchange, in the
stock of neither company can be
said to be at all large. The small
est sales (39, 1883 were made in the
month Of February; the largest (65,-
s0S), in January; while the sales in
June amounted to 60,644 shares,
with an average per month of 56513
for the six months. The sales of the
California have been even smaller,
or at least geo, 455) in February, and
the largest (95.059) in May-with an
average of AZ, 541 shares per month.

why Women should Read.

Laying aside the thought of our own
rest and comfort, let US look a little
higher. For the childrea's sake zoe
must make the most Of ourselves. Many
an unselfish mother has said, 'Oh,
cannot lake all this time, there are so
many things to do for the children
She does not realize that she may do
more for them in the end by cultivat-
ing herself than if she spends ali her
time on clothes and cooking. A
generosity which makes the recipient
weak or selfish is not blessing but
curse. Have you not seen grown-up
sons who snubbed their mothers
opinions in the same breath with
which they called her to bring their
slippers? The meek little woman has
'trotted around to wait on them so
long that they have come to think that
is all she is good for. Their sisters
keep Ma in the background because
she hasn't bit of STYLE and is so
uncultivated,' forgetting that she has
always worn shabby clothes that they
might wear fine ones; that her hands
have become horny with hard work
that theirs might be kept soft and
white for the piano, and that she has
denied herself books and leisure that
they might have both. And there are
other children, too noble for such base
who feel keen though
secret sense of loss as they kiss the
dear withered cheek and think how
much more of woman mother might
have been If she had not shut herself
away from the culture and sweet COM
panionship of books.-Scribner for
April.

NANNY DOWNEY'S PIES.
One of Bret Harte,s Good Stories

Bret Harte' in Scribner for April
The pies and cakes made by the old
woman were, l think, remarkable
rather for their inducing the same
loyal and generous spirit than for their
intrinsic excellence, and it may be said
appealed more strongly to the nObler
aspirations of humanity than its vulgar
appetite. Howbeit everybody ate
Nanny Downey's pies, and thought
of his childhood. Take em, dear
boys the old lady would say: 'It.dOes
me good to see you eat 'em; reminds
me kinder of my poor Sammy: that Of
he'd lived, would hev been ez strong
and big ez you but was taken down
with lung fever at Sweetwater. L kin
see him yet; that's forty years ago,
dearI comm out o. the lot to the bake
house, and smilin' such a beautiful
smile, like yours, dear boy, as hand
ed him a mince or leming turnover.
Dear, dear, how 1 do run on! and those
days is past! but l seem to live in you
again! The wife of the hotel keeper,
actuated by low jealousy, had sug-
gested that she seemed to live off
them,' but as that person tried to de-
monstrate the truth of her statement
by reference to the cost of the raw
material used by the old lady, it was
considered by the camp as too practical
and economical for consideration, Be-
eides,' added Cy Perkins, 'ef old Man,
my wants to turn an honest penny in
her old age let her do it, How would
you like your old mother to make pies
on grub wages, eh" A suggestion
that so affected his hearer (whO had no
motber) that he bought three on the
spot. The quality Of these pies had
never been discussed but once. 1t is
related that young lawyer from San
Francisco, dining at the Palmetto re
staurant, pushed away one of Nanny
DOwney's pies with every expression
of disgust and dissatisfaction. AT this
juncture, Whisky Dick, considerably
affected by his favOrite stimulant, ap-
preached the strangers table, and
drawing up chair, sat uninvited
before him.
'Mebbee, young man. he began
gravely, you don't like Nanny
Downey's pies?"
The stranger replied curtly and in
some establishment, that he did not as
a rule eat pies.
Young man. continued Dick, with
drunken gravity, 'mebbee you're ac-
customed to Charlotte rusks and blue
mango; mebbee ye can't eat unless
your grub is got up by one o. them
French cooks? Yet we-us boys var
in this camp-calls that pie q good
com pie!
The stanger again disclaimed any
thing but general dislike of that kind
of pastry.
Young man, continued Dick, utter
ly unheeding the explanatiOn-'young
man, mebbee you onct had an Ole-a
very ole mother, who tottering down
the vale OF years, made pies. Mebbee,
aud it is like your black epicurean soul,
ye turned up your nose on the woman,
and went back on pies, and on her!
She that handled ye vile ye was q

back on her and shook her, and played
off on her, and gave her away-dead
away! And now, mebbee, young man

PERRY.S VICTORY.
About the Only SurVi-
vOr of the Battle OfLake Erie.

Shelby, Richland county, has the honor OF
being the home of q man who, as the re-
cords of the Pension Office show, is the only
man living who was with Commodore Perry
when the famous battle Of Lake Erie was
fought. At this quiet little village the old
hero, whose name is John Rice, now nearly
eighty y-seven years of age, is spending in peace
and prosperity the evening of an eveatful life.
A Herald correspondent furnishes the follow
ing sketch of the old soldiers life, gathered
from Mr.. Rices own lips:
John Rice was born August 22d, 1871, in
small town in the interior of Pennsylvania,
where he received the usual education of the
farmer boy Of that period. At time when
the western army was smarting under the
shame and disgrace of HuIls surrender at
Detroit, he enlisted at Lewistown, Pa, in
Captain Rodgers company of volunteers, and
shortly after took up line of march for Erie.
where the arrived April 22d, 1918. Com
modore Perry was there at the time with the
Lawrence and Niagara, getting ready to
beard the British lion, and Mr.. Rice accepted
an offer of S25 for three months cruise.
After the time had expired was transferred
with several of his companions to the schooner
Scorpion, Captain Christ, Chaplin, of Car
Isle, Pa. 1t was in this ship that he partici.
pated in the engagement. In several impor-
tant instances his story materially differs
from accepted authority on the subject.
When Perry left the i'll fated Lawrence in
his little boat he was rowed by only two men,
Jacob Tool and Aleck Netlea, who were the
only persons in the boat beides himself, the
Scorpion escroting them to the Niagara. Mr..
Rice was an eyewitness to the scene of the
shot that crashed through Perry's boat, and
saw him jerk off his coat and stuff it into the
hole to kee9 il from sinking. In that terri
Bile line piercing charge, which occurred
shortly after, on the front of the enemy's
ship, that gained the gained the day, the
Scorpion did noble work with her deck
sveeing broadsides, and Mr.. Rice stood up
manfully with the rest of the heroic crew.
Soon after the battle he was again transferred
to the land force and was in the battle of the
Thames. He AYERS that he saw Tecumseh
shot by Colonel johnson in the thickest of
the fight Colonel Johnson's horse having
been shot under him, Tecumseh rushed to-
ward him with uplifted tomahawk but was
Immediately stricken down by a bullet from
Johnson's tol.-Cleveland Herald.

THE family of a gentleman in Cam
bridge, Massachusetts,, was presided
over by an old lady, as house keeper.
until her recent death. She had filed
the'same position in his fathers family,
and no doubt considered the lad, whom
she controlled as child, chilli still t"
the last. On opening her will it was
found that he was thu inheritOr of
$40, 900. Probably he wishes that he
had not made wry faces at her cold
coffee, and that he had not secretly
desired so many times that she would
abdicate. 1t Is remarkable feature OF
some minds that they can keep such u
secret as this old lady kept fIrs) many
years, and leave it to be divulged only
by death. And it may caution us not
to think we know everything about
anybody.

stores used by said army Preceded, hO1oeUer,
that the affidavit of the claimant, supported
by the competent testimony of any reputable
citizen, shall be sufficient proof to establish
the fact of the use and occupation of such
property by said Army.
1t was said that this bill would enable
somebody to get pay for every bushel of po-
tatoes eaten, OF said to have been eaten, by
Sherman's army in its march to the sea, and
for every tree cut, fence rail burned, or acre
of ground disturbed by Grants army in Vir-
ginia The amount of claims payable under
this bill alone, by favoring Secretary of
War, would probably approach the amount
of the present National debt. But Mr.. Fl. G.
Riddle made his campaign openly on this de-
mand, and was elected again by S,412 major
ity, his opponent getting only 3,545 votes.
votes. This measure, though Mr.. Riddle is
in Congress now, is not vigorously pushed at
present. Does not every one know why To
press it now would only subject it to defeat,
and would lessen the chances of Northern
Democrats for re- election. No Secretary of
War that President Hayes is likely to appoint
would serve Mr. Riddles purpose. But the
Il, 900 people who voted for him expect that
he will make good his pledges to press his de-
mand, whenever a favoring Secretary of War
can be obtained.
This is but sample of a class of measures
which are now carefully kept under matches.
Far more dangerous than any that are offered
and pushed at present, these will come to the
front also whenever there is chance of their
success. The Solid South only asks for about
500, 900, 900 now; let the Democratic party
have control of the Government, and its Rid
dies will soon teach the country what they
want-GN Y Tribune.

Miss NELLIE DAeGErT has opened barber
shop in Boston, and the excitement is intense
in consequence. She is pretty and neat, and
it is a vell-known fact that women can shave
far better than men can, if they set them
selves about it. The young man of the local
ity have their hair cut several times a week,
and are thinking seriously of the needs of
their eye'teeth and gums. The old men are
having their faces and chins nearly shaved
of, and are using hair-restoratives with a
prodigality really frightful. Ralph Waldo
Emerson occupies the chair nearly half the
time, to the intense displeasure of Joseph
Cook, who finds it necessary to be shaved
every morning.

That is a curious letter the members of the
Kemper County Grand Jury have sent TO the
Governor of Mississippi. They say they were
compelled by the obligations of their oaths to
find indictments for several persons engaged
in the Chisholm massacre, but they hope the
Governor will pardon all of them, even be-
fore the indictments are tried, because such
pardon will accomplish more for the promo
tion of peace and good order in our county
than relentless prosecution of these cases.
This is good specimen of the Kemper idea
Of justice. The evidence against the mur
derers was SO strong that the jury was forced
against its will to find the indictments, and
yet the same jury turns about, before the in
dictments can be tried, and asks to have the
indicted persons pardoned as an incentive to
peace and good order!" If the Governor
comedies in this view, Kemper county will be
more than ever the best place in the country
to move away from.

AUSTIN, New, boasts several Chi

TO take smoke of opium, for the
effects of which they have visions,
from which they interpret whether
certain sick persons will die or get well,
or whether certain individuals will
win or lose in gambling games in
which they propose to engage. They
have small ivory figure TO assist them
in the interpretations which represents
a certain god, who never sleeps, eats
nor drinks, and never dies. II the
seer's representations are verified, he
is smart fellow; II not, the blame is
