A Mine Of Wealth.

A Nevada newspaper says that it is
but little over five years since the Big
Bonanza mine was discovered, and that,
in that time, not far from 500, 100000
of ore has been taken from it. The de-
velopment of the Big Bonanza was grad
ual. No great noise attended its dis
covery, and sonae time had elapsed after
that event before the mine was thought
to be very rich. A few old heads had
their private opinion on the subject,
looked wise, but held their peace, SO far
as the public was concerned. The first
miners struck small veins of ore, which
gradually led up to the vast treasures
that have since made the name Big
Bonanza world-famous, b synonym for
untold wealth, or rare good fortune of
any kind. II the Big Bonanza had had
very little in it, its opening would have
been heralded far and wide; an office
would have been opened in Pine street,
and particular friends would have been
taken in Tin double sense) on the
ground floor. Mines seem to be like
streams. Those that are deepest are
quietest It is the shallow ones alone
which make so much noise.

An EXDerlenceG Youth.

An Indiana boy of Is has just re-
turned from a two-years' tramp. Dime
novels had pictured to him great happi-
ness in such life, but he met the reali-
ty Immediately upon reaching New Or
leans, in the shape of fever. At Gal
weston he had an arm broken, and at
Houston two ribs damaged by being
pushed from Texas freight train. He
was wounded by pistol ball while
driving herd of cattle across the In

keep from starving he has sold papers,

CAMERON,S RECOLLECTIONS.
The Battle of Gettysburg Costly
BIunder.

The Battle of Gettysburg Meade's Costly
Blunder.
The New York Times prints the re-
port of a remarkable interview of one
OF its correspondents with ex-senator
Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania
Though he was silent in regard to cur
rent political topics, hecontributed liber-
ally to the making of history. His po-
litical life owed its beginning, he said.
to his opponents, who by crying him
down increased his resolution to succeed.
In l045 he went to the Senate for the
first time as Democrat, having beaten
the regular caucus nominee-two prece-
dents which ought to have been, but were
not, troublesome to him in after political
life. His conduct in the Sumner affair,
when he succeeded the latter as Chair
man OF the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons, was guided by the same obstinate
resistance to what he considered an un-
fair attempt to pull him down. When
he heard Secretary Schurz, then Sena-
tor, speaking against the removal of
Sumner, on the ground that Cameron,
the next man on the committee. was the
most unfit person in the Senate to sue
coed him, he resolved to be the success
sor OF Sumner, thoush he had previously
opposed the change. But perhaps the
most interesting part of the interview is
that which relates to the battle of Get
tysburg, which Cameron says ought to
have ended the war. He says he was on
the field of battle very soon after the
fight took place, and he could never
understand why Meade did not follow
up Lee and make Waterloo north OF
the Potomac, which WAS then flooded
IN such way that no crossing was pos
sible for many days, as his army was
flushed with victory, and heavily rein.
forced Immediately after the battle.
Cameron says he thought of telegraph.
ina Lincoln and urging a direct and de-
cisive blow upon the rebel armies; but,
on second thoughts, fearing that be
might have done Meade an injustice, he
decided not to telegraph, and thus lost
a great opportunity. He adds that Lin.
coin afterwards told him that, if he had
telegraphed, such an order would have
been issued. There were persons on
the field who not only thought of tele.
graphing, but did telegraph, and not tc
Lincoln alone, but to Stanton. These
kilograms, it afterwards appeared, were
received, but the President and Secre-
tary of War declined to interfere, prob
ably because they had had severe ex-
perience of the danger of sending per-
emptory orders to an officer in the field.
Among the persons who thus tele-
graphed Lincoln was Vice President
Hamlin. Indeed, every intelligent spec.
tator on the field saw, what has long
since been Individually established, that
Meade then had it completely in his
power to end the war in one attack on
the beaten, broken, discouraged enemy,
and to make himself the hero of the
Union armies. It was an expensive
blunder for Meade, and still more fol
the country. It might have made him
what Grant has since become; it would
have saved the country half the cost OF
the war in money and lives.

AN APOLOGY FOR FILTRATION

" All women are tickle !" you tell me.
Well-yes-if by tickle you mean
tribe less false than you men are;
ana greatly more true than they seem.
6ut women are cruel-so crueli
Ihey Halter and coax for while,
1ueh trean On the hearts that we give them,
And deal us blow with a smile!"
We are cruel-it may be: but cruel
=, IN million OF charming ways;
80 sorry at times to have hurt you,
So kind on the gloomiest days.
But you men-you calculate nicely
how near you may go, or how far,
ana never one moment you soften
Nor pity the hopes that you mar.
And when you at last are successful,
ana the flower floats down to your feet,
AIS colors are no more so perfect,
LIS perfume is no more so sweet.
You leave it to lie on the roadside
tF1rst trampling it down in the Dust.
ana 1ancy that such is your right here,
10 break and to outrage our trust.
You think us so weak TIL we sting you,
AND give you at least your deserts:
ana then you turn round in your anger
aud VOW that all women are dirts,
Believe me that, if you would let us
BE honest and true as we are
(Net striving to conquer us a ways>,
Ane world would be better by far.

Bald Mountain.

Extravagant reports have been pub
lished recently Of the rending asllnder of
Bald mountain, in North Carolina, the
scene of the earthquake hoax of few
years ago. A correspondent of the
Charleston NeaOs, who has visited the
place, writes: "The objectof our quest
was found to be crack about 100 yards
in length, about four feet in width and
of unknown depth. The crevice runs
nearly due east and west, is parallel with
and but short distance from the brow
of the precipice, which marks the south
ern boundary of the mountain. That it
is of recent origin was plain to be seen.
Careful investigation leads me to the
conclusion that the crevice merely marks
the separation of a very large section Of
the cliff from the body of the mountain,
and that the break will result sooner Or
later in landslide, differing only in
point Of extent from Others like it and Of
frequent occurrence in this locality.
There has been no appearance Of smoke
nor smell of sulphur"

TIE DRUNKARD's GRAVE.
BY ROB MORRIS.

TThe author CT the following touching recitation
assures the editor of the AdvocGe, Masonic jour-
NAL, that the facts embodied therein are strictly
truesl
stood beside the grave,
The last and dreamless bed
One whom knew in other days
Lay there amidst the dead;
His head toward the setting sun,
For OH his life and pilgrimage were done.
1Twas evenings pensive hour
The rich and painted West
Had called earth's laborers-weary ones
To home delights and rest;
Bird songs and voices of the day
Had melted all in evenings hush away.
Then came upon my soul
rush of memories
4 seemed to see beside that grave
My friend of other days;
His beaming eyes-hs generous hand
The largest, brightest, readiest Of our band.
Il seemed to hear once moro
His voice so full and free
My hand-my heart-nay purse-rny life,
give from me to thee!
The scalding tears my grief confessed
While night and darkness settled DER the West
For oh, thought me then
OF all his sad decline;
BE fell from honor's topmost height,
The victim of one sin
Yes, he the generous and the brave,
Lay there dishonored in drunkard's grave!
Long years hard he strove
Against the siren cup;
Wife, children, Brotherhood combined
To bear him kindly up,
And cheer him midst that mighty woe
With which the unhappy drunkard has to do.
We pied by this and this;
We urged his plighted word;
We told him what shameful tale
His story would afford;
We gathered round him all our band
And warned and threatened with stern com
mand.
lin vain; too strong his chain
Our cable-tow too weak!
That cursed thirst had burned his soul,
He would no warming take;
He broke the heart that leaned on his,
And brought himself at last, at last, to this.
His went down at noon;
His life expired in spring
His work undone his column broke
A ruined, loathsome thing
Expelled from Masonry, his grave
No emblens Of the ancient Art can have.
L turned away i'm tears;
The night had settled round;
heard, in cypress branches nigh,
The owls complaining sound,
Then homeward fed amidst the gloom,
And left my Brother in the drunkard's tomb

ENGLISH Prime Ministers have rarely
been very rich men, and some have been
quite the reverse. Pitt never married,
and declared that he couldn't afford it,
and Canning and Disraeli were bolstered
up by wealthy wives. The late Lord
Derby and Sir Robert Peel are about
the only instances of very wealthy Prime
Ministers, though Lord Melbourne was
very well off. Lord Palmerston only
become SO late in life through rise in
mineral property. His wife, too, sue
ceeded to her brother Lord Melbourne's
estate.

The most venerable couple IN Texas,
perhaps in the country, are Mr.. and
Mrs. Robinson, of Mountain City. He
is reputed to be 103, and she 1O2 years
old. and they were married in Kentucky
eighty-two years ago. Mr.. Robinson
says he never swore but one oath, has
never borrowed but so cents, and never
gave note. He and his wife are like
children in their devotion to each other,
and after any separation shed tears on
meeting. Recently they were presented
with comfortable house by generous
neighbor.

Ohio Canals Doomed.

The Ohio canals are doomed. No
north and south artificial water lines can
long survive in competition with the
railroads. The great movements OF
heavy freights are from west to east.
It is this fact that accounts for the pros
perity of the Erie canal. Some sections
Of our Ohio canals, where there Is coal
transportation to do, will doubtless sur.
vive, but the system as whole must
sooner or later be abandoned. A strug-
gle for it's continuance is fight against
fate. Cleveland Herald.
