Mt Last.

The logged determination and perse-
veranee with which the development Of the
Hoosac mine has been pushed has at last
been rewarded with success, and a body of
ore has been struck in two levels OF q
quality calculated to gladden. the hearts Of
stockholders. 1t is said to be free milling
ore, containing horn silver, and 1t Is pre-
dieted the assays Will run into the thous-
ands. This is cheering news, not only to
the stockholders, but to the entire camp,
for a rich strike in the Hoosac could not
fail to benefit the town.

Death i'm the shaft.

James G. Fay was dashed to pieces in
the Ophir shaft (Comstockl on Thursday.
He fell a distance Of $50 feet. He was on
an ascending cage when the accident oc-
cured. 1t is not known how he lost
his footing. He had just returned from
the East. and it was his first shift in two
months. 1t seems that he had forebodings
of death, and told some Of the miners that
he thought he was doing wrong in going
TO work. His remains were frightfully
mangled. The first that reached the I'M
dertakers' rooms WAS the trunk. N leg
and arm. Men searched the mine for
hours before the other fragments could be
collected together. Deceased was a native
Of st. Stephens. New Brunswick. and aged
about 80 years. He had no relatives on
this coast.

special interest to note concerning our

matter easily corrected, and hereafter the
conduct of each individual scholar will be
closely watched. Below will be found the

Haverly's Ministries will not appear in
Eureka on the 10th, as announced. The
temptation to play in Reno during Fair

viii remain in Reno during the time they
originally intended to spend here, and
must then proceed East in order to meet
their other engagements. Arrangements.
We understand, are being made for the APP

A QUEER BIRD.


My window was open, aud a bird few in,
Twas the funniest bird, lad the strongest
song
That e'er bird sang twas a song of sin
And sorrow, twas a song so long
That l fretted and wearied. and I said:
Oh. bird what means this plaintg
It angry grew. and I was AFRAID
To hear its strange and weird complaint.
1t said to me in angry song.
Yet tried to hide its bitter grief,
How strange 1t is that among
My feather l dnd no relief
1 closed the window, and this queer gray bird
Then changed its song from weird to gay;
The strangest song man ever heard.
From gay to grave. from grave to gay,
The music of his song SO filed the room
That 1 opened the window, and the ambient
air
With the song was filled with gloom.
Around aud about my window came
Birds of various plumage, but all of song;
Birds beautiful, and birds SO lame
That the god Of birds would wish them
strong.
One said What song is this?
'Tis old, but. fellow-birds, it's mine
To give tie chorus; how strange it il
You cannot help me in the rhyme.
One grand blue bird, with talons strong,
Having full care Of the parents nest,
Demurred. and said: For my dear young
The song is wrong-you know the rest.
The song then changed, and with plaintive lay
Tn gray bird ceased, the window fell,
And All the birds then WINGED their way

A Neat Speech.

''Brevity is the soul Of wit" but few
men appear to realize the fact. Among
the few, however, Hon. Thomas Wren can
be elassed as one. His speech at the open
ing Of the new theatre is a model of brevity
and sound logic. 1t contained a great deal
of home truths condensed in a few words,
and has been universally commended.

expected the old Hoosac will soon resume
its former position OF one Of the best pay

lie was nice young man, with fine
little cane, polished boots and stand-up
collar, and he wore buttonhole bou-
quet, composed of rose and two or
three violets. Buttonhole bouquets are
all right. They don't cost anything to
speak of, and the wearer is generally
certain to be taken for the son of mill
ionare, or the head clerk in wholesale
tea store. The nice young man sat
down beside a motherly old lady in a
street car. She had market basket
on her lap, nickle between her fingers,
and did not even scowl, when a boy

Keep the Children at Home Nights.

Bring up IL child in the way he should
go, and when he is old he cannot re-
prOach you for the manner of his bring
ing up. When night comes all good
animals go to their rcpOse; none but
sly and ferOcious beasts are now skulk-
ing round. No bird of good character
is abroad. The plants draw their
leaves closer together and sleep. The
miasmas and gases that we've raretied
and lifted by the suns heat now con-
dense and sink with the mists and dews
of evening. The night air is consider
ed unhealthy. ''Our family are never
troubled with bilious" said a lady,
'.and | believe it is because we never
sit out doors at night" A child is
hardly out of his mothers lap before he
is treated as an adult. Into his stOm-
ach is allowed to go all the food, and
drink, too, we may add, that the adult
stomach often rebels against, by be-
coming dyspeptic and feeble, and he is
suffered to contract the habit of being
up late, being supposed to be tough
enough to endure the exercise and ex-
citement of a day heightened out by
adding to it part of the night. The
night is never too long at any time of
the year for the sleep of healthy child,
nor the day too short to afford him ali
the play and exercise he needs.
Our streets during the warm months
swarm ut night with children of all
ages. They may be found roaming
about until ten and even much later.
Some children are permitted to be out
night after night for weeks and months
| together. Such children cannot grow
rs fast as children who get their sleep
at the proper time. The effects of late
hours may be seen to their .jaded and
old looks. They become cross, tidgety,
nervous: They do not sleep the sweet
sleep of childhood. They either drop
into leaden slumbers, from which they
must be reused lest they be late to
school, or else, like waves after storm,
that beat the shore long time before
they become calm, they toss and wake
again and again from fitful and unre-
freshing slumbers. Much of the dull
ness and much of the excitability and
restlessness at school is due to this
