The widder's Mite.

The Widow Van Colt lately conducted
q revival in the Hedding Methodist
Church ut Poughkeepsie. Owing to the
heat or some other cause, the copgrega.
ton was not large nor the conversions
numerous. At the end Of twelve days
the Widow closed the campaign. and o
collection was taken up for her benefit.
The yield was $50. which was sent to
her by the Rev. Mr.. Lewis. the pastor.
Tho money was returned to him at once,
with the following note: III that was
intended N compensation for twelve
days. severe toll. with Christian love, l
return 1t with my compliments. pre-.
fer toiling without money or price
rather than bear 30 gross al insult TO
my tolls" The pastor wrote back to
the Widow, reminding her that she had
come to Poughkeepsie On her W sug.
gestion. and that 40 promise Of remune-
ration had boen made by the church.
Az to the amount OF the collection. he
said: at is about the same that I re-
ceived for the same length OF time, with
this difference: Ont OF my salary i must
support a large family. while your ex.
penses in a beautiful home are paid by
the church. Tho size OF your congrega.
ton must, to INT OF your intelligence,
prove that your popularity has waned,
and your influence for good in Pough.
keepsie has almost gone" The letters
were read in a public meeting, at which
both Mrs. Van Colt and Mr.. Lewis were
present. Mrs. Van Colt approached
Mr.. Lewis and said: "Dear brother. ]
forgive YOU" To which Mr.. Lewis
calmly but firmly replied: "Sister Van
Colt, you have tried to separate the
members OF my church and create
trouble here" and then left her.

GxoRas e. soRHAM.

Ho is a very talented. wide.swake
man, Is tho aforesaid. and he Is stirring
up the animals in the great political
arena of California after a very lively
style, locking horns willingly with any
who wish to face him. Pixley. OF the
.Aryona.a. took a notion to gore him q
little. but got badly gored In return. as
well an tioored. Gorham has been eI-
ceedipgly well treated by the Republican
party and allowed some very good loaves
and fishes for some years past. and he
has no honorable right to turn away
from the party nov and 60 over to tho
enemy. He certainly should be the last
man to work against the Republican
party. The only redeemins feature in
his detection from the party 10 his oppo.
sition to tho big railroad, and the APP
parent disposition Of its managers to
rule everything politically for their own
benefit in this section. He declares and
most loudly protests that he Is Re-
publican. but Republicans sec no
cause US yet to believe it. He has
taken up the war.club in favor Of the
Honorable Bilks and the Copperhsads, in
opposition to the Republican party. The
trouble with Gorham is that he Is deter.
mined to rule or ruin the Republican
party. In doing that he will be about
as successful a. Tom Fitch. Gorham.
like Fitch. is a capital talker. but he
cannot make people believe all he tells
them, for they have no great amount Of
faith in his political sincerity or consis-
tcncy. The Republican party has a
lively fight to make at the coming cleo.
ton. but feels fully up to tho require
ments even without the recrssnt Cor
ham. Good bye George G.

found his way to the mining region

disheartened that he began to wish him.

among the vines and olives, aud started
TO leave the mines. Becoming feverish,
thinking Of his trials and tribulations,
he stopped at q spring to moisten his
parched throat. Cattle had been that
way q short time before. and with their
feet stirred up the limpid water until 1t
became thick with mud. The italian
scooped ont the basin and waited until
the sand should settle to the bottom.
that he might slske his thirst and battle
his brow. By and by the water became
clear as crystal. and he stopped to drink.
An astonishing sight met his eyes. The
bottom OF the spring was strewn with
bright yellow particles that glittered In
their watery bed. With all his ignor-
ance OF mining. he knew he had found
gold. He rushed excitedly to q camp
where lived some Of his oountrymen.
and told the story Of his discovery. but
they were incredufous. saying that some
miner had stopped at the spring to drink
and lost what was found from his purse.
One OF them. however. volunteered TO
help prospect the claim, although he
had nc confidence in developing Q per-
manent or profitable one. The first day
panned out 500. Since then they
