on which it shall be located. This Is .
question of some importance to New
York. Brooklyn believes it is highly
important TO her interests. also, and
makes . proposition to secure the. site.
Brooklyn says the situation she offers is
healthy and thoroughly drained. 1t is

the place from New York, the great

A MYTHICAL MINE.


There are reports current in Bodie, says
the Stock Report, of the discovery of a mine
of marvellous richness on the borders of Death
Valley. For twenty-five years there has been
belief, amounting to a superstition, that
somewhere near Death Valley existed the
richest gold mine that ever entered into the
most magnificent castle building of pros
pector. Death Vallay is near one of the old
southern routes overland trials, and there are
hundreds of stories of big nuggets of gold
picked up in the vicinity by emigrants. and
golden bullets shot at white men by Indians.
In the early days of Nevada a man named
Breyfogle displayed in some of the camps of
Eastern and Southeastern Nevada, quantity
OF very coarse gold, which he claimed to
have taken from. an enormous ledge of al
most pure stuff somewhere down near Death
Valley. He professed to have been driven
out of the country by Indians. Breyfogle
was man who could lie like begger, if he
wanted to, and would make trips occasionally
out of camps in which he was living profess
edly in search of his wonderful ledge. Pros
pectors are credulous of stories about rich
mines, and many poor fellow started on a
search for the Breyfogle lead and left his
bones to be polished off by the coyotes and
ravens in Death Valley and the adjacent de-
serts, but to this day there are thousands of
on the Pacific coast who believe
in the Breyfogle lead and think it will one
day be found. Regularly every Autumn
there is report of the discovery of a tre-
mendous!Y rich gold mine near or in Death
Valley, and the miners and prospectors when
thew hear of it exclaim with one accord:
The Breyfogle lead is found at last ?"

A GOOD joke is told at the expense of one
of the female boarders at a popular summer
hotel at Watch Hill, chambermaid being
the perpetrator. 1t seems that some of the
beds in the house are much inferior to others,
and lady who occupied one of the good
ones desired to secure another of them for q
Philadelphia friend who was coming to the
house, 90 she requested the chambermaid to
see that q room containing such one was re-
served. The girl soon reported that none
could be procured, whereas the lady gave her
. dollar, with instructions to shift some one
else's good bed, replace it by . poorer one,
and give the good one. to her friend. The
girl promised to carry out this plot, and the
result was that the Philadelphia lady that
night slept on . good bed but the lady who
bribed the chambermaid WAS somewhat
to find In her own room. upon re-
firing for the night, the inferior bed subatitu-
ted for her own. fs.' ~ 5f'Aot ''tN'9 !

Nlhilist Justice I'm Russia.

Three Nihilists condemned to Siberian ex-
lie wished to marry, and fixed upon three
girls of their political persuasion, who agreed
to espouse and follow them to the place of
their banishment. Marriages of this kind are
tolerated by the laws of Russia, and the three
convicts were welded; but their sentence of
banishment was Immediately changed into
one of solitary confinement in the central
prison at st. Petersburg. Upon learning of
this. their wives sought and obtained audience
of Nabokow, the Minister of Justice, whom
they entreated to reverse the last decree, and
to send their husbands as at first determined,
to Siberia, whittier they could accompany
them. Nabokow replied that he could not
assume the responsibility of altering the
modified sentence, and referred the three
women to Mesenzew, the chief of the ''Third
Section" or secret police. To Mesenzew,
therefore, they applied; but he angrily re-
jected their petition. As soon as this decision
of Mesenzew was made known in Nihilist
circles, he was at once condemned to die as
the most inveterate and dangerous enemy of
''the cause. }" and three days later he perished
by the hand of an assassin.

A Mothers Love.

A mothers love! How lightly do we often
value and bow little d. We appreciate kind,
loving mother! What fountain of pure, un-
selfish love rises up from her generous, lov-
ing heart! Who will love US as mother
does? And who will suffer, work and toll for
US, depriving themselves of every comfort, in
order that we may be we'll cared for, and
spared all anxieties and cares of life? No
one but mother" We may have kind fa-
ther, gentle and loving brothers and sisters,
and, when we grow older and leave the pa
ternal roof, we may be fortunate in securing
kind husband or gentle wife, and may be
blessed with dutiful and happy children;
but no one will ever exercise toward us the
same kind, patient love and gentle forbear-
ance as a mother. How kind we should be
to her We should sharehe anxieties, tighten
the burden of her cares, and strive to make
her declining years happy. 1t is debt as
well as duty we owe to her, and it is hap
PLY in the power of all to pay it,

''HOW Long Have L 10 Live ?''

1t is not every one who asks himself this
question, because, strangely enough, it is the
belief OF most persons that their lives will be
exceptionally lengthy. Howeva, life insur-
ance companies are aware of the credulous
weakness of those whose lives they assure.
and have therefore compiled numerous tables
OF expectancy of life for their own guidance,
which are carefully referred to before
policy is granted. The following is one of
these well authenticated tables in use among
London assurance companies, showing the
average length of life at various ages. In the
first column we have the present ages of per-
sons of average health, and in the second
column we are enabled to peep, as it were,
behind the scenes Of an assurance office, and
gather from their table the number of years
they will give us to live. This table has been
the result of careful calculation, and seldom
proves misleading. Of course sudden and
premature death. as we'll as lives unusually
extended, occasionally occur, but this is
table of the average expectancy of life of an
ordinary man or woman:
