Faith Casts on God its Cares.


I WAS making call, and talking with
gentleman in his parlor, when the
door partly opened, and his son, OF five
summers, distressingly articulated,
" Father, I've lost my ball. l threw it
way over Miss FINDERS yard, and it
rolled into hole; and 1 can't see it;
and it's gone in the big mud; won't you
get it, for me?'' "Yes, my child; when
I am done here will 60 and find it.;
run out now and watt He at once
dried his tears, and frightened, and
turned away, and said not one more
word about the ball, while remained.
When he came to the door tremendous
load of care w&s crushing and grinding
his little heart; but when he left it, he
was free and light as feather, for he
had faith in his fathers power and
promise; and upon him he had rolled
his burden.
The life of children. is a life of faith.
1t is impressive to see, though they
know they are entirely dependent for
food, raiment and q home, what implicit
confidence they repose in their parents;
one which excludes all doubt, banishes
anxiety; and they live in simplicity
and quietness of spirit, careful for
nothing. This is faith in man. If it
were transferred from the earthly pa
rent to the heavenly, it would be faith
in God. If God is trusted as an earth
ly father, we become g like little chill
dren," free from unbelief; we do our
duty, and continually leave our life,
and health. and food. and attire. and

The Bank Of Nevada and Flood a.
y go O'Brien.

Gold is tossed about and trucked
about as lead and copper are In New
York. Mere boys with canvas bags IN
their hands 90 around carrying and
collecting the precious metal. Kegs OF
gold and bags of gold are thrown on
cart as if they were kegs of nails. In
the principal jewelry stores necklaces,
diamond-studded belts and sets valued
at all the way from $40 to 500, 900 are
exposed to view and are laid within
grabbing distance. The Bank of Ne
vada is the great gold bank of the city.
Its vaults are said to contain over
$40, 100000. Trays of gold stand on
the counter not Gagged in and wired in
as with is, but with as little guard
around the money as is thrown around
silks in dry-go0ds store. Yet moth
ing is stolen and nobody attempts it.
The bank is owned by Flood & O'Brien,
the great Bonanza men. Their income
is fabulous from the mines alone said
to be $3, 100000 a month. They began
life humble enough. They were traders
in small way, and the store is still
pointed out where they served their
customers for years. They made
friends with the miners. trusted them
for goods, loaned them little money,
and when the miners had good thing
they let Flood & o. Brien know it. They
were careful prudent, saving men, and
always had ready cash for small VEN
lures. The Bonanza possession was
the result of this thrift and forecast.
Flood is about fifty years of age. He is
slightly under size, sturdy and stocky
in build His face is expressive OF self
possession, resolution and common
sense. His family consists of wife, a
son and daughter. The daughter is a
young lady of prepossessing appear
ance, who puts on no airs. Mrs. Flood
is matronly lady, quiet and benevo-
lent, and enjoys the esteem of her
neighbors. She refuses to give large
parties, because she would have to ig-
more her friends and acquaintance Of
humber days. The family live cozily
in a comfortable house, which would
not be considered more than respecta-
BILE for well-to-do mechanic or mod
crate shop-keeperG Floods word is as
good as his bond anywhere O'Brien
is IN old man--full seventy. He is tall
with very gray hair, and slightly
stoops. Flood Lolds the fort in the
Presidents room, and is seen by few
persons. O'Brien can be found out
side, in the banking-room, sprightly
old man, apparently looking after
things. He is unmarried, but lives in
princely style in mansion built by
Senator Sharon. His relatives keep his

A recent Washington dispatch says:
The United States Commission which
was organized for the purpose Of inves-
tigatinR the subject of insect ravages in
the West, and Of devising remedy for
the evil, has finished its field-labors for
the year. Its members will soon as
semble in this city to complete their an
nual report 10 Congress. This report
will make volume of about 500 pages.
It will be ready for distribution in
February or March.
Among other interesting questions to
be treated of in the report, the migra-
tory habits of the locust viii be de-
scribed, showing that, like many spe-
cies Of birds, these insects journey at
certain fixed seasons southwark, and at
certain other seasons return to the place
of their origin. These migrations be-
ing foreseen, steps may be taken to
protect from their ravages the fields
which lie under their line of flight.
Many methods Of accomplishing this
are suggested, some of the most effect
i've of which are the direct fruit of the
researches and experiments made by
this. Commission, 1t is shown that the
destructive propensities of these pests
can, by timely precautions, be. practi-
cally neutralized The definite limits,
beyond which the locusts have not ven
tured, are carefully fixed. and the crops
which are most liable to destruction,
and the best methods Of procedure, with
regard to the protection of each, are
specifically given. The insects feed
ing habits are treated Of at great
length, and form an interesting feature
of the report. The examination of the
stomachs of more than ninety species
and $50 specimens were made with
special reference to this subject, and
the value hitherto placed on these aids
by entomologists is fully sustained by
the results now arrived at.
Among the discoveries made by the
Commission, those relating to the hab-
its of the silky mite and of the blister
beetles, will be of interest to entomolo-
gists. The former is an eight-legged
creature which preys on the locust
eggs. It is proved to be the mature
form of the little six-legged mite. which
is parasitic to the locust. Of the lar
val habits of the blister beetle nothing
has heretofore been known, notwith-
standing that the attention of scientific
men has been directed to the matter for
many years, both on account of its
value in commerce under the name of
the Spanish fly, and of the injury it
causes to potatoes and some other
plants. Many facts of interest with
regard to the origin and habits Of this
insect have been discovered and will be
made the subjectof a chapter in the re-
port. Asi
