The Seven Wise Mcll.

Most people have heard Of the Seven
Wise Men of Greece" but very few know
who they were or how they became to be
called so. The seven wise men of Greece
are supposed to have lived in the fifth
century before Christ. Their names are
Pittacus, Bias, Solon, Thales, Chilou,
Cleobulus and Periander. The reason of
their being called wise is given different
~ by various authors, but the most ap-
proved accounts state that az some Coans
were fishing, certain strangers from
Milctus bought whatever should be in the
nets without seeing it. When the nets
were brought in they were found to con-
tain gold tripod which Helen, as she
sailed from Troy, is supposed to have
thrown there. A dispute arose between
the fishermen and the strangers rs to
whom it belonged, and, as they could not
agree, they took it to the temple of Apooll
and consulted the priestess as to what
should be done with it. She said it must
be given to the wisest man in Greece, and
it was accordingly sent to one of tue
seven, who modestly disclaimed the title
and forwarded the jewel to another, and
so on, until it passed through the hands
OF all the men, distinguished afterward as
the "Sevcn Wise Men," and as each one
claimed that the other was wiser than he,
1t was finally sent to the temple of Apollo,
where it long remained to teach the les
son that the wisest are the most distrust-
full Of their wisdom.

Of perturbation in which they found her.
Their surprise was scarcely less than

of perturbation in which they found her
heir surprise was. scarcely less than
hers when they were informed thai
somebedy who could be no other than
the queen of the fairies, for she was all
in green and gold, and shining bright az
the sun, had come into the house, and
seeing nobody there, had fallen to be-
witching the wheel which, as sure as
fairies were fairies, would never 90 again.
Sand see" continued tile young en-
thusiast, pointing to the handkerchief
tied to the spoke, ''something which she
had left"
The father united the handkerchief
and the sight Of the sterling piece of
coin which it contained soon dispelled
from his mind all suspicion as to the ter
restrial attributes of the lady who had
been honoring his cottage with visit.
The women of the cottage, however,
were off very different opinion. With
them the lady could be no other than the
fairy queen, who must doubtless have
come to tell poor Isabel her fortune; the
spoiled thread was a sign that the first
days of their life would be marked with
disappointment and sorrow, and the
crown piece tied in handkerchief to
tue spoke Of the wheel betokened that
she would in the end arrive by honest in
dustry ID wealth and comfort. Harmless
delusion! 1t lasted but for day. Sun
day came, and the appearance of the
queen of the fairies, in the same dress at
church as the duchess of the manor,
convinced even Isabel that she had been
deceived.

What Il WOman's Glove Holds.

A woman's glove is to her what his
vest pocket is to man. But it is more
capacious, and in ninety nine instances
out of one hundred it is much better
regulated. A man will carry two dollars
worth Of small change, four matches,
half dozen tooth.picks, a short pencil
and pack Of business cards in his vest
pocket and yet never be able to fiId a
nickel or match or tooth.pick or a
pencil or a card, when he wants it. Not
so with woman. She has the least bit
of glove, and in that glove she carries
the tinicst little hand and wad of bills
and memoranda for her intended pur-
chases, and dress goods samples and car
tickets and maybe a diminutive powder
rag. We have no idea how she does it
how she manages to squeeze those
Thousand and one things into that wee
space. But she does it every time, and
the glove never looks the least bit dis.
composed or plethoric or rutfled. And
when the woman wants any article con-
ccaled about that glove she DOESN'T see IN
to have the least trouble in the world
getting at it. All that is required is a
simple turn of the wrist, the momentary
disappearance OF two fairy fingers and
the desired article is brought to light. It
is wonder that no savant can explain -

The Queen of the Fairies.

The late duchess of Gordon, says an
English paper, takin g an airing alone in
her carriage, in remote part Of the Scot
tish highlands, observed at some dis
tance from the road neat cottage sur
rou Eded by a garden. Her grace pulled
the check string, and asked the servants
to go round with the carriage to where
she desired them to stop, while she
crossed the moor to pay the cottage a
visit. The duchess happened to wear a
pclisse trimmed with god lace, and her
hat was ornamented with golden spang
les. A girl about twelve years old, the
only person IN the cottage, was spinning
at the wheel and singing merry strain.
AS soon as her eyes caught the figure of
the duchess approaching, the green dress,
the shining appearance of the hat, on
which the sun shonc, the singularity Of
such visitant in so lonely situation,
all so worked on the imagination of the
little girl that she verify believed the
queen of the fairies had come to reveal
to her some fearful mystery OF fate. In
great terror she escaped to back closet,
where, through small aperture, she
could see without being seen. The sup.
posed fairy queen entered, surveyed the
apartment with curious eye, and then
s.eing the wheel, bethought herself Of
trying to spin. She gave the wheel sew
eral turns, but could not make tolera-
ble thread, though she twisted up all the
carded wool she could find. As some
compensation for any injury her awk-
wardness might have occasioned, her
grace tied crown piece in a handker-
chief that lay upon the table, fixed it to
q spoke of the wheel, and departed.
The girl could. not summon courage to
venture from her hiding-place before her
father and sister came in, nor till some
time after could they extract from her
an explanation of the extraordinary state

The World d Tribunal.

A man, said Emerson, passes for what
he is worth. Very idle is all curiosity
concerning other peoples estimate of us;
and all fear of ofrcmaining unknown is not
less 50. If a man know that he can do
anything, that he can do it better than
any one else, he has a pledge of the ac-
knowlcd gment Of that fact by all persons.
The world is full of judgment days, and
into every assembly that man enters, in
every action he attempts, he is gaug
and stamped. In every troop Of boys
that whoop and run in each yard and
square, new conner is as we'll and &C.
curatcly weighed in the course of a few
days, and stamped with bis right num-
Der, as if he had undergone formal
trial of bis strength, speed and temper.

Is THE KOSSUTH ON THE MAIN
LEDGE
G. II. GOddard's Reasons for Be.
lieving That 1t Is.

In the two preceding issues of the
TIMES lengthy extracts from G.. H.
Goddard's report upon the Kossuth
mine were published. In the first of
these issues that part of the report
referring particularly to the Kossuth
was published, and in the second
that referring to the mines adjoining
the Kossuth. These were of two
classes, one class comprising the east
or front ledge claims, and the other
those claims situated on tho main
Comstock, which were stated to be
(besides the Kossutb) the Emigrant,
Cherokee, Dayton, Daney, Mooney,
Whitman, Daney No. 2, Memnon,
Columbia, Somers and Quinn. In
this issue we give Mr.. Goddard's rea.
sons for believing that the claims
named are on the main lode. They
are as follows:
In the beginning of this report I
stated that our mine was situate on
the Comstock. The detail of facts
collected leave no other conclusion
to be arrived at but that the ledge
which we have followed from the
Silver Hill to the Quinn, has all the
leading characteristics of the main
Comstock ledge. 1st. Its general d.
rection and course. Cd. The great
width of its groupings, often over
1000 feet. Sd. The funnel-mouth
feature, which gives to some of its
outcroppings westerly and to some
an easterly dip. 4th. The running
together of these lodges and seams
at the lower levels. 9th. The regu-
lar easterly dip obtained where the
surface disturbances are passed.
9th. The well-defned clay walls, and
their great width. 7th. The charac-
ter of the ore, which often rich in
gold at the surface, shows more silver
as depth is attained. The crushed
appearance of that ore in many por.
tions of the ledge. The different
colors of its several seams, and the
numerous branches and stringers
thrown out from its several hanging
walls. The facility Of reduction of
it's ores. All these facts unite in
establishing its identity with the
northern portion of the Comstock,
and induce US to believe that as its
several seams and lodges come to-
gether in depth, we may discover as
rich bonanzas of ore as have been
found at Gold Hill or Virginia.

A cave occurred in the Sutro tun-
mel last Wednesday, at a point about
1000 feet east of shaft No. /. Five
mules and shift of men were in the
tunnel at the time, but they did not
suffer as communication was had
with the surface through shaft No. 2.
Two sets Of men were at once put to
work clearing away the fallen ground,
and by Thursday evening, thirty
hours after the csye, work was
resumed in the west end of the
tunnel. The cave only extended
about thirty feet along the length of
the tunnel. This is nothing to what
will occur if the hot water from the
mines is turned in before the sub-
drain Is completed.

The Thompson Matter Settled.

Some time ago, it will be remem.
bered, a judgment of the District
Court in the case Of Thompson
vs.. Thompson granted Mrs. Thomp-
son, the plaintiff, all the property of
the parties to the suit, which proper
ty consists of a large boarding-house
and smaller residence at Sutro,
some mining stock, and "a valuable
house and lot in this city. The hus-
band, not entirely satisfied at the re-
suit, was about to appeal the case,
when Mrs. Thompson Chat was)
agreed to relinquish all her right,
title and interest in the property stu
ated in this city if Thompson would
agree not to appeal. Thompson hay
ing signitied his assent to this propo-
sition, the matter has been settled,
