The Future or Leadville.

A Leadville letter says: Leadville will
continue to be a prosperous mining camp,
settling down to q town of a few thousand
inhabitants. but will in my opinion and
from what l can gather, never be the city
that some have predicted. Nothing will
grow here. There is no soil. and there is
ice formed every night in the year. 1t
rains every day from the middle Of June
until the last of September all the time, /
learn, in the afternoon, but the mornings
are frosty and icy. There IL absolutely
nothing to sustain it but the mines, and
when these become located and all the pay
ing leads are found, and the day of pros
pecting is over, then will Leadville settle
down into a prosperous and thrifty town,
but never a live, booming city. 1t is too
high up for a health resort. and those look
ing for health would do we'll TO stop two
or three thousand feet below. There is not
a foot OF ground within four miles Of Lead
vile, in the direction Of where ore has
been found, that is no now taken up; and
an attorney informed me, using his ex-
preston, "that all Of the mining region
within four miles OF Leadville was
shingled over four inches Deep" meaning
conflicting claims.

The law prohibiting opium smoking in
Nevada, under a penalty Of 81 900 fine or
two years Imprisonment, went into effect
on the LIST Of the present month. Sheriff
Kyle is determined tn carry out its provis-

day engaged in filling blanks, informing
the owners Of certain property in China
town, that If this drug was used or sold on
their premises, warning them that the

doubt if half a dozen persons have been
aware that so many places existed in
Eureka where opium could be obtained.

The Inhabitants Of the Coast.
A Eureka correspondent of the San
Francisco Hebrew Observer" in speak
ing Of the fire and its consequences, among
other things, says Amidst all this misery
and misfortune. one feels o peculiar pride
in being numbered among the inhabitants
Of the Pacific Coast. and being counted as
one Of a people whose generous impulses
has not a parallel on earth. The cry Of
our unfortunate people had barely been
heard, when thousands of dollars in money
and whole train loads of provisions and
bedding were Immediately sent for our re-
lief. The humble denizens of the little
mining camps, scattered through u sage
clad mountains, wed in their generous
contributions with their more opulent fel-
low-citizens inhabiting the imperial cities
by the sea. II the mountains and valleys
Of the coast shower their varied wealth
upon our people, they are ever ready to
shower their bounties with lavish hands
upon the needy and distressed of all ma
ton, creeds aud tongues.

Exporting Grain SC India,

An American missionary, stationed
Tor several years in India, mas written
letter, suggesting tina. profitable market

grain OF any kind. The natives subsst
chiefly upon rice. Only the rich men of
the country and Europeans are consumers
OF wheat One reason for nee icing the
principal load is is cheapnesS compared
win wheat or corn. I to five wears ago
only little whea. was grown, and that
VAS for home consumption. Rice was so
plentiful and cheap ;ha; grain could not
enter into competition with i, This is
seen from the fac; tha, when il was found

was favorable 10 wheat col.ivauon, i, was
grown for expor, 10 England The pro-
duc,ion Of wheat ioT tins purpose ncTeas-
ed very rapidly Until the drough; of Two
Yeas ago, followed 10y the famine. Then
the expectation stopped, Il beng required
10 take the place OF rice. the staple food
Of the natives. Until the drought, India
was becoming formidable rival 10 the

Shooting Stars.

Biologists and explorers have long
since confirmed the teachings of astro-
nomical observers in regard to the seces-
sions Of matter which our globe is con-
s1antly acquiring from deposits of mete-
oric dust encountered in its transit
around the sun. The secretary of the
British Astronomical Society in recent
paper, INDUCES in some curious specula-
ton on the subject, based on the follow.
ing data
From calculations based on the aver
age Number of shooting stars observed
per hour vt single stations, Prof. New
ton, Of Yale College, United States,
has estimated that in q single year the
earth encounters as many as 400, 000,0
of meteors, from the largest aerolite down
to the smallest body which could be
seen in good telescope as shooting
star, if by chance it passed athwart the
telescope field of view Without lay
ing stress on the numbers, we may
say that, roughly, about a million
meteors are gathered up by the earth
every day, more than 10000 per hour,
and ION the average, it will be under
stood some ten or twelve per second.
AS almost all these bodies enter the
earth's atmosphere with vclocities com
pared with which that Of % rife bullet is
al rest, it follows that, however minute
the majority Of these meteoric visitants
may be, the very least Of them striking
man or animal IN any vital spot would
cause death. But fortunately we are
protected from ali risks Of this sort by a
very efficient shield the soft and yield
ing air, the resistance Of which turns all
save the largest meteors into vapor be
fore they have penetrated even its outer
most layers.
From long and intricate series OF
calculations it is then shown that in a
million and half years hence, every
square yard Of the earth's surface will
have :. pound Of matter more than at
present, III consequence Of the meteoric
downfall. This patent groping after
facts illustrates the habits Of devoted
scientists; and the results achieved are
not designed TO alarm real estate owners.

The Dog and Child.

Mr.. Elihu Burritt gives in bis book,
callcd'"A Walk from London 10 Lands
End and Back" the touching illustration
of the affection of a dog in Truro: Il
was sitting at the breakfast table OF friend.
who is druggist. when he was called into
the shop by a neighbor, who had come
for medical aid, in e very remarkable and
affecting case.
"He described ii briefly and simply,
but it would fill a volume OF beautiful
meaning,
His family dog had incidentally made
the acquaintance OF neighbor's child on
the other side OF the street.
While lying on the door stone he had
noticed this little thing, sometimes at the
chamber window, and sometimes on the
pavement, in a little carriage.
During one OF his walks on that side
Of the street. he met the baty, and looked
over the rim OF the carriage, as a loving
dog can look. straigh: into pair of baby
eyes. and said. Good morning! as well
as he could.
Little by little, day by day and week
by week, this companionship went on,
growing with growth and strengthening
with he strength of the little one The
dog, doubtless because his master had 10
young child OF bis own, came al last to
transfer frequently his watch and ward to
the doo.-stone on the other side Of the
str CT, and to follow as a guard OF honor
to the baby's carriage on its daily airings.
with what delight he gave himself up
to all the pelting and little rompiogs, and
rough and tumblings, Oft these baby hands.
Zone day, as the dog lay in watch by
the door-sione, the child. peeping Oh. OF
the window above, los. il balance, and
fell on the stone pavemen. below Il.
was taken up quite dead The red drops
Of the young life had despatched the feet
and face OF the dog as he sprang 10 the
rescue His heart died out within him
in one long, whining moan cf grief.
From ,ha, moment he refused 10 eat.
He refused 70 be comforted by his mas
ter's voice and by his masters home.
Day by day and night by night he Law up

told in a few simple words. He had
come to my friend, the druggist, for a
prescription for his dog-some!hing TO
bring back his appetite.
