VIRGINIA City, March 90 - The
Hale &c Norcross pump. after being run
slowly since Sunday evening, when the
new pump below the 1000 foot level
was connected with the rod, started up
at fast speed yesterday morning. As a
consequence the water in the Savage
and Hale Il Norcross mines was lowered
thirty feet during the twenty-four
hours ending at Z o'clock this morning.
At that time the waters had been low.
cred to about so feet below the 1000
foot level in the Savage, and rs feet
below the same level in Hale & Nor
cross. This is several feet lower than
the water has been since the flooding
OF the mines, and there Is every like
lihood that the 81 900 foot level will be
reached and drained by the end of next
week. The water is now where it will
be most troublesome, owing to the
proximity of the source OF supply. but
no extraordinary difficulties are ex-
pected, as the head is believed to be
well conquered. Donkey pumps are
kept in readiness for use. so that in
case an accident happens they can
without delay do effective wosk.
1t was rumored on the streets to-day
that the Sutro tunnel was on pay ore.

NEW YORK, March 23-The HeralPs
Washington special says the Speaker
and Committee on Rules have under
consideration the revocation of the
privilege of access now given to ex-
representatives. This is occasioned by
the discovery that many of these men,

right to go into the House for the pur-
pose of acting as lobbyists.

sentative Banning. and which he pro-
poses to make party measure.
NEW YoRK, March 2S.-The Tribune
says the leading New York bankers had
conference yesterday with three
members Of the committee on banking
and currency Of the House of Repre-
sentatives concerning resumption of
specie payments. General Ewing's in.
quiries aimed TO draw out the views Of
bankers who would express an opinion
whether resumption was practicable at
the date now fixed, if Congress would
put stop 10 the agitation about the
currsny. Ewing said, after the meet
ing, that the views expressed we're of
such a character as to strengthen his
opinions.

The Doctor in Spain

Much has been said for and against
Spanish practitioners. l take leave to
mention that they are in no way behind
those of France and England; Of late
years they have, as a body, made gigan-
tic strides in learning, and the newest
Partisan books are found on their shelves.
Of course, in the old fashioned country
villages the doctor is somewhat of
butcher; he is forever having recourse to
bleeding, an operation which he never
performs himself; he merely writes on a
paper-papeIito- number of ounces
of blood to be taken from the subject,
and the bleeder who performs the opera
ton is the barber in the nearest street.
Bleeding in this country is, if not an alb
solute necessity, at any rate very great
relief; and l, for one, look kindly upon
1t. In this country strong English rem
edies completely fail to have any good
effect. Mercury is downright poison;
rhubarb has no effect at ali for good;
magnesia and sal de guerra, quinine,
and decoctions of soothing herbs, with
abundance of fruit, (the fruta del tiempo.)
are the chief remedies. The doctor is
paid by the poor, two reals % pence per
visit; by the rich, 10 pence. e., the Sill
yer franc, or peseta. He writes the pre-
scription, and your servant takes it to the
6otica, or apothecary's shop, with tum-
bier or cup; and the mixture comes back.
without label or written receipt, the SER
want merely putting the tumbler down
by your bedside, with the words, 'sYou
are to take this in three doses, and the
apothecary sends his pest wishes that YOU
will soon be all rightp' In all the out-of-
the-way towns the families Of poor and
rich pay to the doctor an annual sum of
5 ducats, T. e., $3.50 per annum, for which
sum he attends the whole family, servants
included. He collects 'srents,'' as thew
are called, on Christmas Eve, and expects
present of fowl or TURKEY from each
house, in addition to his hardly earned
cash So frugal, so simple, so patriarchal
is life in Spain. And how Glow runs it's
tide! An ex-Minister Of the late Spanish
Republic, warm personal friend Of my
own, was, a few weeks since, dangerously
i'll; he, to save money, actually sent per
post to his brother, a physician in prac-
tice at Malaga, an account of his aiiment,
and waited four days for the receipt of
the prescription. It came at last. But
before it came my friend had had fit,
and his hostess prescribed @lemon.juice
and cofee" she said it was abiliouness."

"Years Ago."
BY GEORGE p. MORRIS.

Near the banks of. that lone river,
Where the water-lilies grow.
Breathed the fairest flower that ever
Bloomcd, and faded years ago.
How we met, and how we parted,
None on earth can ever know;
Nor how pure and gentle-hearted
Beamed the mourned one years ago.
Like the stream with lilies laden
VIII lifc's future current flow,
Till in heaven I meet the maiden
Fondly cherished, years ago.
Hearts that love like mine, forget not
They're the same in veal or woe;
And the star of memory set not
In the grave of years ago.
