WOOD DRIVE.

a wood drive, belonging to Cameron,
Chase& brennan, was started, some days ago.
on the East Fork of the Carson river, away
up IN the mountains OF Alpine county, Cali
torn1a. a portion OF the drive, consisting OF
10000 cords, Is damned at point on the
Carson about three miles above the Twelve
Mile House. 1t was found necessary to form
jam at this point IN consequence of the high
water In the river, but the Carson is falling
fast, and IN few days, when the stream gets
within It's banks, the jam will be cut, and the
drive started down. -ibove this is another
section of the drive, consisting of 10000
cords, which Is slowly descending the Carson.
Our Water Front reporter, whose aquatic eX-
perlence Is only equaIIed by his prophetic
gifts IN the matter OF wood drives, assures US
that the 10000 division OF the drive will, d.
", be at the Mexican Dam IN about one week
from this time. He has not enlightened us
as TO the time OF the arrival OF the other por-
ton OF the drive, and probably does not want
to hazard his reputation as vatlclnator

THE AMATEURS.

The Carson Amateurs appeared to good
audience last night The performance passed
off quite smoothly, especially for an amateur
effort. The "Boston Dip" bright little
comedy first given here few months ago,
was even better played than on its first pres
entation, some of the rough edges having
been hewn down by thorough rehearsals. The
musical portion of the entertainment, by Miss
Beers and Mr.. Laughton was really excellent,
fine enough to have passed the ordeal of the
most exacting criticism. The entertainment
closed with the "Rough Diamond, the prin-
cipal characters, as well as the minor ones,
being very cleverly played. 1t is a matter of
surprise, however, that the Amateurs did not
select fresher farce, for the "Rough
Diamond" is a stone that has been pretty
thoroughly worked by theatrical lapidaries.
But this is not an occasion for fault finding.
We have not individualized either as to
the cast of the Boston Dip" or the conclud-
ing farce, partly for want of time, but chiefly
because we suppose the ladies and gentlemen
who kindly and very successfully assisted
charitable object are not anxious to have their
names paraded in loaded burgeois. The
Amateurs did well last nigdt, and they
may be certain of good houses whenever they
wish to entertain the people of Carson.

I Worked and Earned It.

A few weeks ago judge III an Eastern
town was called out Of his bed one morn
ing by several vigorous raps upon his
door. Hastily dressing himself, he found
upon the steps an uncouth, roughly-clad
boy with an Ak over his shoulder, who,
tnrusting his hand into his pantaloons
pocket, drew out small roll, and hand
ing 1t to Jud &c H., said: =
Where's seventy-fve dollars, which
want you to put in the savings bank, "
and turned and started away. ~.
The judge, slightly Disconnected at the
curious proceedings, scarcely knew what
to say; at length, recovering his wits, he
cried after the boy, stop! come back
here. How did you come by this
money!"

I've got a job chopping wood, which I be-

Wise College Boys.

Young men, when entering college,
often think themselves wise. They
know what studies are needless, and
what will be helpful. A large part of
the prescribed course they would gladly
omit as dull and Improbable. Twenty
years later they look back with remorse
on their youthful folly. DR.. James w.
Alexander, one of the most acco plished
scholars Of our country, thus refers in a
letter to his fancied wisdom:
''Like most brainless and self-conceited
boys, undertook to determine that
such studies were Of no Importance, and
made this an excuse for neglecting them,
although the wise in every age have
united in declaring their utility. I was
foolish enough to suffer almost Gil my
precious knowledge Of classical litera
ture to leak out, and consequ ]
found myself a much greater dolt when ]

" She Hath Done What She Could"

Men and woman standing in their
place, doing their work. trusting in God s
love and help, grow deeper, soar higher
spread more widely as the years PASS.
They do not, perhaps pass for saints. for
they do no extraordinary things. They
do not retire into converts to pass days
in prayer. But everyone comes to honor
and love them more and more; men come
to lean on their strength, take coun-
sci of their experience: they spread light
and peace around them, day by day, and
so cause the Kingdom Of God to come
more and more, simply by doing what
they can. Whenever we do what we can
we Immediately can DO more. Like
those who are ascending a mountain,
each step, so Insignificant in itself, carries
them on and up, till new scenes opens
before them. They have only to keep
walking on, taking one step at a time,
and presently they find themselves rising
above the region of forests, begin to get
glimpses of blue lakes lying below them,
Of the great snow-cove1ed fields which
soar upward, pure and cold, into the gilt
tering air; they see the distant ocean,
spotted with white sails, the forest roll
ing its sea of verdure far away up to the
pale horizon, So, as we keep doing what
we can, steadily, constantly, life opens
before us, Heaven opens above us, the
world comes around us, rich, varied.
beautiful, and we find ourselves on great
eminences of thought and love, hardly
knowing how we came there, for we have
been only doing what we could all the
time-no more, no less.--J lanes freeman

A Boys Struggle With q Deer.

John Kenniff, the fourteen year son
OF keeper in Prospect park, Brooklyn,
scaled the fence around an inclosure in
which deer were kept. The grove of
deer was grouped near the keepers house,
and as the lad approached tsey picked
up their ears, and the largest of the herd,
a fat buck, stepped out and star ed FOL
Kenniff, watching the boy intently. The
boy picked up the thick end of piece of
rope and threw it at the deer, startling
him little. Then the boy turned, think
ing no more of the animal, and went
along picking up some chestnuts. While
he was thus engaged, the deer came soft
ly up behind him and goared him with
his antlers in the right leg, knocking him
down. Then the animal backed off and
started at him again, but young Kenniff
caught him by the antlers with both hands
and held him back. The deer struggled
to get free, but the boy maintained bis
grasp, although he was kept off his feet.
being pushed along by the animal
threw out his.handl and steadied himself, 80
as to get on his feet. Then he started on
a run backward toward tho keepers
lodge, still keeping the deer's antler's
in his hands. He ran along crying for
help. The animal pushed him fast.
When they reacheda little hillock, at
the foot of which was the house, the boy
fell and began to roll over and over; but
he kept his hold on the antlers, fearing
the minute he let go tho deer would run
the sharp prongs through him. The boy
rolled up against the house and there
managed to get on his feet again. With
one hand holding the deer and the other
against the house, he made his way along
until he came to the door, He tried to
lift the latch but could not, and there was
no one inside to answer his calls. Then
he let 60 his hold, made dash for the
enclosure where the hens are kept, and
tried to get over the fence; but the deer
ran upon him and knocked him down.
| Then the animal struck him twice in the
face with his antlers, cutting CASH near
his right eye and tearing open the flesh
of the cheek. The lad cried piteously
for help. A boy passing along Flatbush
avenue saw the deer bucking him, and
informed the driver of passing horse
Car. The driver and two passengers
scaled the fence and ran at full speed to
the boys assistance. At the sight of
them the deer ran away. The boy was
taken to the city hospital, where his
| wounds were dressed. @n w.. --..-r,

THE CLOUD.

The cloud lay low in the heavens.
Such q little cloud it seemed;
JUstlightly touching the seas broad breast,
Where the rose.light fingered across the west,
Soft and gray as. in innocent rest,
While the gold arthWart it cleaned.
It looked such harmless cloudlet,
Seen over the sleeping wave.
Yet the keen-eyed mariner shook MS neaa'
As slowly it crept over the dusky req:
'See the rocket.lines are CLEAR" he said,
And his lips set stern and grave.
And or ever the eve was midnight
The cloud was lowering black, sE

Dimming the flash Of the furious spray,

Winds bowling on their track.
