Il CALIFORNIA MINING STORY.

Not many miles from Shasta City is the
gulch. of which the following mining sto
,y is told: 1t is pretty deep ravine,
with rocks showing all the way up the
sides. Gold in paying quantities had
been found along the stream, but it SEEM
ed to disappear Il few feet from the chan
mel. One day, while a gang of busy
men were toiling in tho stream, Il stranger
evidently green at mining, came along
and leaned Oh ragged elbows to watch,
with protruding eyes, the results of their
S. nugget. and anxiety overcame the
green horn. 'sS-a-a-y," 's he asked, t'where
Can go to diggin' to find it like that ~
The hardy miner stopped his work, and
giving the wink to all the boys, so that
the joke should not be lost, pointed up on
the barren rocks where no gold had ever
been found. eye see that rough lookin'
placer" Yes, yes,' said the new hand.
'Well, thar it is rich. Jes ye stake out
a claim, and go ter work, and when we
finish here we'll come up too.' Then the
new hand thanked the honest miner, and
boys all grinned appreciation of the
joke. That afternoon there was @ solita-
~ figure picking away on the slope, and
every time the miners looked up they
roared with laughter. But about the
next day the greenhorn struck q pocket,
and took ont something like $50, 600 in
few minutes. Then, innocent to the last,
he treated all round, and thanked the
miner who sent him up there, and took
his money and went down into the valley
and bought !, farm. Then the unhappy
miners arose, leaving their old claims |
and dotted that hillside for days. But |
theae were no more pockets anywhere. |
The whole thing reads just like the tra-
litional fairy story. But then 1 saw the |
gulch. Many more unbelievable things |
have happened in the mines.-ISan Fran

rYThe Governor of Iowa pardoned a
man who had been sentenced to the State
prison for ten years, on the conditions
that he should, during the remain der OF
of his term, abstain from the use of in-
toxicating liquors as d beverage; that he
should exert himself for the support of
his mother and sister; and that he should
not be convicted of crime during the
term of the sentence of any violation OF
criminal law. The criminal agreed to
the conditions of the pardon. and found
no inconvenience in complying with the
last two articles thereof, but the demon
of intemperance was too strongly the
master of his appetite for him to long
enjoy his freedom. After q short respite
from confinement he was found inebriat-
ed, whereupon the Governor remanded
him to the State prison. The validity of
the action of the Executive was ques-
toned, but a decision of the Supreme
Court confirmed his action in the prem
scs.

THE DEFICIENCY.

The last Legislature, in preparing the
late proposed amendments to the present
abominable State Constitution, made it
obligatory upon the Secretary of State to
cause these suggested patches to be pub
lished ninety days in one or more papers in
each parish in the State.
In accordance with, and in ob-dien: c
to this law, Mr.. Strong authorized forty
nine papers in the State to insert these
amendments. 10 defray the expenses
thus incurred, the last Legislature made
an appropriation of $1,000. The amount,
due by law to each of the forty-nine pa
pers for the public alton of these propos-
ed amendments for the specified length of
time, averages about $344. This amount
multiplied by forty-nine would make
$16,s56, leaving a deficiency in the above
named appropriation of some 11,s56.
In these proposed amendments, accord
ing to the measuremcnt of the N. O.
Democrat, the official organ of the State
there are forty-three squares, which, in-
serted fifteen times at one dollar for the
first insertion of each square, and fifty
cents for the remaining fourteen inser-
tians of the forty three squares, would
make exactly $341 dne each paper.
When the $4,000 already appropriated
by the Legislature is divided pro rata be-
tween the forry-nine papers, each paper
will receive, in what are termed ordinary
about S1O2. These warrants
to-day arc worth from Mirty:frc to forty
cents 0" the dollar. Consequently, for S344
worth of work, the poor printer Will re-
ceive only about $40 in actual cash.
Will the incoming Legislature look IN
to the matter, and see that the newspa-
per publisher is paid for the labor he las
performed ?-PdtriOt- Democrat.

tA wellknown financial writer, says
the NO. Democrat, has just published in
| the Financial Chronicle, of New York, /,
letter on the condition of financial af-
| fairs in England and Europe generally.
He reaches the following conclusion !:
That actual, real raoney only includes
| metallic money; that silver has been de-
monetized in Europe, and ranks now as Il
representative of money; that from 184S
to 1873 the real money of the world was
increased 4O per cent, or from IS ,OCU U,0OO,-
900 t. $7.0OO,00U,O 600, creating the unex-
| ampled period of growth of the worlds
productions and trade; that since 1873,
by the demonetization of silver and the
| contraction of the real money of the
| world, money is proportionately scarce.
| AS money has become dearer as it has
been decreased in volume, it follows that
the value of all commodities and proper
ty has decreased. Tho business of the
world has been contracted and crippled
just as it was stimulated by the increase
Of money between 1S4S and 1873. He
concludes that as the contraction of trade,
| Of production, of prices and of prosperity
is due to the contraction in the worlds
money, so the natural, direct remedy is
the restoration of the supply of money by
the remonetization of silver generally, in
Europe. These are the views of an able
man, who a year ago was one of the stron-
gest opponents of silver remonetizati on
in this country He has recognized the
logic of events. Germany and England
must also recognize this irresistible logic
and restore silver to its old place as a
part Of the worlds money. And as the
United States are producers of silver,
they should he the last nation on earth
to depreciate the value of the precious
metal.

I'O i SNOW DROP.
BY MISS u. II. c..

| ia MISS H.. IL. Z.
Pale offspring of the waning year,
Thou lool>est up with tender eye,
| 10 yon darkly threatening sky,
How canst thou meet the tempest near
Unmindful of the sleet and rain,
And needles of the driving snow
| Or icy winds that harshly blow,
Thou purest 'bOve the barren plain.
The oak uplifts it's leahess boughs.
The clouds are dark with winters rage,
And shrieking storms a warfare wage,
Around the hiliock's furrowcd brow.
There is no flower in yondcr vale,
| 10 cheer the gaze of passer-by,
No tender bloom to breathe it's sigh
| Upon the moaning, wintry gale.
Thy sweet companions are all gone
When autumn winds blow harsh and
bleak,
Then tinted flow 'rcts fair and meek,
In frosty dews grew pale and wan.
Like our loved ones, the fair and frail,
That give their charms to lingering
death.
So at the winters blighting breath,
The flowers died in forest dale.
There is no sound of warble clear,
From tuneful birds. III yonder wood
There's naught to cheer thy solitude,
Mid scenes so wild and coldly drear.
But midst the wreck of winters blight,
Thy snowy blossoms as sweet. as fair,
AS lnring dreams traced in the air
BY fairy Hope, mid mis'ry's night.
What wonder then, we hold thee dear,
Lone blossom Of he Q arden walks
Thy swaying bells ring on their stalks
welcome to the coming year.
The coming year! God grant it hold
In its unfathomed, dark abyss
Fruition of more perfect bliss
Than e'en our wishes dare unfold.
God grant alike to friend and foe,
That it may bring the branch of peace,
10 sorrows tears. a long surcease,
And turn to joy, da k sullen woe.
That it may herald in the day,
The promise of that fairer time
When earth shall basl< in golden cline,
And Righteousness extend her sway.
When plaques shall be no longer felt
And hatred's boast but idle breath,
When ''victory shall conquer death,'
And earth be free again from guilt.

no CURE H.llIS OR OTHER aIE.IT.

From an excellent lady resident of this
Parish we have received the following
very valuable recipe for curing hams
and other meat, which VIC publish for the
benefit of those who have been so provi-
dent as to remove their meat houses from
| the far west to their own domain. We
advise all our far,ner friends to cut it out
and file it away for future reference:
"Flrst sec that the hams are cut smooth
at the fleshy parJ-leaving the cross-bone
in. To each ham take one half of II tea
spoonful of powdered saltpetre, and,
| when cold, rub well OH the tleshy parts
and in the crevices with the hand. Next
take SILT and brown sugar, four parts of
the first and one or the latter; mix and
rub we'll over the hams or other meat
you may wish to save. Lay meat in q mo-
lasses barrel, with three hams in the bot
tom and half jowls around; and toungue
in the middle. Sprinkle the salt and su-
gar between each layer until the barrel is
full. Put q weight Oh top to press the
meat down; make u hole in the bottom
Of the barrel to let the brine drip ont,
but also put tub under the barrel to
catch this brine. Let it stand three days
after which, put this brine on the fire
and let it come almost to q boil, but not
quite; push away the fire from the pot
and drop in a cup of cold water, which
will cause the blood and other impurities
to rise to the top. Skim off the top, and
repeat in the same way. Boil this the
third time, adding salt aid water suffi-
cient to make enough brine to cover all
your meat. This brine should be strong |
enough to float all egg. When perfectly |
cold, put your meat in it with weight |
sufficient to keep it under. Let it re- |
main from four to six weeks. Then wash |
the salt off with brine and wipe the meat |
dry: rub it over with molasscs and black |
one quart of mo!as-
ses to one fourth of a pound Of pepper
Hang up and smoke, the hams hook
downward. Smoke for six weeks, after
which, take it down on Il dry day and
cover the hams with cloth and white
wash them, provided they are ready be-
tore March. If, however, they are not
smoked sufficiently before March, dip each
ham in boiling water and wipe perfectly
dry before canvasssing.
P. S. Red pepper can be used instead |
of black" =. J. B.
