STILL 1IAPfY,-For the past two
weeks a Detrcit druggist has put up a
prescription Of some kind or other
about toar times a day for certain
small boy, besides filing orders for a
large variety Of patent medicines and
porous pIasters. The sales We're all
cash, but the druggists curiosity was
at length aroused, and he said to the
lad
Got sickness in the famiIy?'
KINDER, WAS the reply.
Your father p
'Ics--atl but Inc. Ma is using the
plaster for lame side and taking the
tonic fol a rash which broke ont on
her elbows. Pa takes tho troches for
tickling in the tn. oat, and uses the
arnica on his shin. Louisa uses that
catarrh snuff and the cough medicine.
Bill wants the brandy for u spraned
,nkle, and the squills are for the baby
That's all but grandma, and this pre-
scri ription is to relieve the pain in her
chest and make her sleep.
Rather unfortunate family re-
marked the druggist.
We'll, kinder; but pa says its
cheaper than going to the seashore,
and so we plaster mp aud swallow
down, and feel purity happy after all.

She certainly was not pretty and it

She seemed to regard the handsome

Grace evidently troubled herself

Sntro's Tunnel.

A newspaper reporter recently had the following interview with MT. Sutro.
 Reporter-Will you allow the mines to use your tunnelS
 MT. Sutro-lt is likely that we will let them pump into the tunnel as soon as we shall be prepared to receive their hot water. This will require very considerable preparation, as we must cut out, in hard rock, drain three feet square and four miles in length. In this drain we will put a box made of three-inch redwood plank, covered over tightly, and cold water will be permitted to flow over the top, so as to carry of what little radiating heat will escape through the plank. It will take us five or six months to do all this, and in that time our lateral drifts will be in as far as Ophir on the north and Gold Hill on the south.
 The reporter then inquired about the bulkhead which Mir Sutro some months ago threatened to erect in tue tunnel to force all the water back into the mines unless the mining companies would make satisfactory terms with the tun- nel company.
 MT. Sutro-The bulkhead is just com pleted. It is huge structure, perfect ly water-tight. and will stand the pres sure of a column of water 5000 feet in night. It is so constructed that the greater the pressure the tighter it will get. But I do not suppose that we will ever make any use of it. At the same time, it is a good thing to have door to your house, in case of emergency.

Orsngemen's Day.

At Montreal the day was compara. lively quiet At Quebec the most in- tense excitement prevailed with refer. ence 10 affairs in Montreal. The streets opposite each of the newspa- per offices were thronged with hun. dreds of men, awaiting news from the menaced city with most feverish anxi ety.
 At Philadelphia the Orangemen had street parade and one of the finest they ever made.
 The Orangemen of New York and Brooklyn, with their wives and chil. dren, commemorated Armagh and the Boyne, and William of glorious mem. Ory, by an excursion to a neighboring grove. The steamboat and barges, and women and children were elaborately arrayed in orange The men pro claimed their principles by neckties and handkerchiefs of orange and blue, and the band played Croppies, Lie Down" "Boyne Water" and other party tunes.
 The anniversary of the battle of the Boyne passed of quietly in Ireland.
 The Orangemen did not parade in Montreal on the 18th. A large mill tary force was present, consisting of five infantry regiments, enc corps of artillery, and troop of cavalry under Col. Fletcher and Gen. Smythe. The troops looked well, and the officer in expressed his fullest confi- dence in the men doing their duty Toy. ally and well.
 The procession was forbidden by the mayor on the grounds that it was illegal, and by his order the Grand Master and other prominent orange men were arrested. There were two or three slight disturbances but no one wss killed.

The New Placers.

YUMA, July 1S.-The new placers
 lie from 10 10 miles back from
 the Colorado river on the Arizona side, and are found at the base of high mountain, and even back into the gulches and ravines. They are worked by dry washing. Ira E. West, who has a ranch in the Chimioueqes valley opposite the landing for the mines, writes to Captain Polhemus, an inti- mate friend, concerning them, and says his hands have deserted him for the diggings. An intelligent Mexican, formerly mate on the river boats came to Yuma from the scene of the dis coYeries to buy provisions, etc. He gives good account of them and re- turns accompanied by others. An American leit-Aere 2 sho.t time ago with dry washing machine, saying he had something good in prospect His destination proved to be these placers, Gold has been discovered be- fore in the vicinity. The new placer digging5 are twenty miles above Au- brey, to which point steamers run regularly, leaving Yuma every Satur- day morning. The nature of the cOun- try will admit of water being taken from the river and brought by ditch direct to the mines, giving an abun- dant supply at little cost.

The doctors don't know it; they can't tell; they say I'm well enough, when I'm bad enough and so there's no help. I'm going some of these days right after my great-grandfather, dying of noth- ing in particular, but everything in general. That's what finishes all our folks.
