Gold in Newspapers.

A correspondent of the San Francisco Call writes of the discovery of small flakes of gold on the surface of the paper upon which it is printed He says: "I had observed. previous to last February, that the Call often contained golden nuggets, but from the sixth of that month to the end it was rare to have 8 number withoutits golden show. From the paper of the sixth I took fifty-six pieces of gold, the thickness of the Cdu. and varying in size from that of & small pin-head to nearly the size of three cent piece. I think have more than hundred pieces of gold taken from the paper that month. All left hole when removed, as the thin film of paper on the inside was rendered brittle by the hard pressure when the calender rolls gave as they fiattened out the golden deposits. In addition to the gold got platinum, silver, iron, tin and some lead" The explanation of the discoy- cry is, says the Cdu, that in the manu- facture of the paper pulp water is used that has been passed through Hume in which miners have washed dirt con- tainlng all kinds of precious metals The gold is what is known as '" float goid," and escapes the miners who still follow the primitive methods of wash ing. Some of the W ater used IS taken from artesian wells. The manufacturers say that they have often noticed sub stance that giistened in the water, but that they supposed it to be mica. as the wells were bored through mica de- posits.

A Small Couple.

Germany can jusiifiably boast of hav-
 ing produced the smallest married
 couple that ever stood before an altar in
 the persons of miniature Marquis and
 Marchioness, who have for some time
 past been exhibited on the Place du The
 ater, at Odessa The Marquis, & native
 of Kiel. is thirty years old, and weighs
 only nineteen pounds, while hls fairy
 like consort, young lady born in Neu-
 munster some twenty-two years ago,
 just turns the scale at thirteen pounds.
 At first glance this tiny pair. it is said.
 might be taken for a couple of scarcely
 weaned babies. dressed up for joke in
 the garb of adults, but on 8 closer ex-
 animation, the genuiness of their ma turity becomes unmistakably appar- ent. A certain pleasant flavor of TO- nance runs through the story of the circumstances that led to their union. Although they are both German-born
 wonders, leased by their parents to tray cling showmen at an early age, they never happened to meet at the fairs and Kermessen of their native land; but 8 year ago, the Marquis being on cxhibi- ton at Moscow. while Fraulein Lilii was starring at St. Petersburg. they be- came aware of one another's existence through reading the newspaper. notices of their respective characteristics, and entered into correspondence which soon led to a rendezvous. and usu- mately to the contraction of a matrimo- nial engagement Now they take their | professional rounds together, and are

It Hits g Big Crowd.

The following extract from a sermon delivered recently in a church in New Orleans will apply with equal force to the grand army of starers' who as. semble about some of our churches, much to the disgust of many: Last Sunday" said the minister, "I was at my window, and looking down the street saw row of straw hats in front of the church. They were all in single file. And I said to myself, Un- der these hats can there be nothing ? and an echo answered Nothing y Surely, I unused there must be some -thingIunder these. e.hats--heads, 1 suppose. Then Esop's fable of the fox admiring a mask and exclaiming, A beautiful head, but there is nothing in it, was re- membered, and I went away It is wrong for those who call and think themselves gentlemen to stand in front of the places of worship for the purpose of staring at the ladies coming out oi church. True, the ladies like to be ad- mired, but this ordeal through which they have to pass of being subjected to the glances of regiment of men in sin gle file is despicable."

A Natural Ice House.

In the Blue mountains. on the farm of Samuel Thompson, near Swartswood
 Pond, in Sussex county. New Jersey. is a crevice or canon several hundred yards in length and from ten to thirty feet deep. The bottom is covered with ice, and the caves and crevices are filled with it. In fact it is natural ice house, where many tons of ice can be taken out without apparently decreasing the SUD- ply. The greater part of it has been there for many years, the mass slowly melting in summer and increasing iu winter, until it has become several feet thick. During the past warm weather, whep the thermometer registered in the ninelles .t.ly mile from the gorge. al tre bottom of it it marked only thirty eight degrees. A few feet from one end of the gorge spring of sparkling water bubbles up. This water stands at thirty four degrees during winter and summer. Mir. Thompson says that the farmerz for mi 'cs around take ice from thin place. ~

Story of a Mermaid.

The mermaid which served to help Barnum on to fame and fortune as snowman, about forty years ago, caused a great deal of talk at the time. Barnum now tells the story, according to the cor respondent of the Indianapolis Journal: Moses Kimball came from Boston with what he declared was genuine mer- maid. The lower part was the tai of shark or some large fish, but the upper part was not of woman's form by any manner of means. It was hideous head and shoulders-apparently of some sort of ape. Pretty soon letter was written from Mobile to the Herald with the announcement that man had landed there from the Sandwich islands, bring ing 8 genuine mermaid. It had not been seen and would not e exhibited, for 1t was on it's way to the London geological gardens. This was copiel all over the country. In another week letter from Charleston announced that the wonder had arrived there on it's way to New York, whence it would sail to London.
 A more detailed account of the wonder ful creature was given. This served to swell the curiosity. From Baltimore
 came still other letters; and then sent my man to Philadelphia, carrying the mermaid in close box. He put up at the best hotel, and cultivated the land lord. To him, just as he was paying his
 bill and leaving, he confided the secret that he was the Englishman who had
 caught the mermaid. "Now, see here,
 said the landlord, you must let me see It." After much persuasion the mermaid hunter yielded. Then he said: See here, you must let me show it to one or two reporters" Alter much importun- ity the weak Britisher yielded, and a l limited exhibition was permitted. The Philadelphia papers blazed with il next morning. The next day it was
 brought to New York, and the same pedofmance was gone through with al l the Astor house. The papers were full of it and the city was all agog. Thou.

Life's History.

Like flowing streams our years go by, Like filmy smoke our days; Between the solemn earth and sky We run our thoughtless ways. We dream of joy, we toll for gold, We laugh, love, strive and hate; Our faces heath the quiet mold Are heavenward turned-too late.
 Be merciful, oh God! Ere evil we can know from good, Or right from wrong undo, By mothers milk, by fathers blood, The evil taints us through. The sins, the passion of their past, Our earliest steps control, And ill our weakness bind us fast, Body and brain and soul.
 Be merciful, oh God! Thus fettered, forth we go to meet foe on every hand A foe close yelled in soft deceit, Smiling and smooth and bland; A foe that steals our inmost hcsrts With warm and kind embrace, Till suddenly tho masking parts, Aud shows the foul fierce face.
 Be merciful, oh God! So easy to the downward way! So ready to our feet! So thickly strewn with blossoms gay, And promises most sweet! For evil meets us everywhere. In daily deed and thought, In church and mart, in praise and prayer The good must still be sought
 Be merciiul, oh God! Beside all waters do we SOW, And little reap but pain; Our weary souls "an hungered " go Among the blghted grain, Our hungry souls go parched with thirst Beside the failing springs; And all the radiant hopes we nursed Depart on lessening wings.
 Be merciful, oh God! Yet slowly, slowly, day by day, We something learn from loss; From some sweet snares we turn away, We half way lift some cross. Illusions one by one outworn Drop from before our eyes; And hands by thorns recurrent torn We lift up to the skies.
 Be mercitul, oh God So, daily, natures weeds grow less, The plants of grace grow strong; We wiring some sweets from bitterness, We cry, "Oh Lord, how long" We lift our eyes up to the hills, We clasp the holy rod; Thy peace, like heavenly dew, distills- We know that Thou art good
 And merciful, oh God!

As Che whom His Mother oemrer,ott.

BY THE LATE F. NORMAN GUSSIsoS- As one his mother comiortcth In sadness and unrest, As one who lays his weary head Upon his mothers breast, And findeth there a tenderness, The truest and the best, So God, our God, we look to Thee. When earthly cark and care, And all the petty ills of lie
 Seem more than we can bear, Laying our hand upon Thy breas; We find our comfort there As one his mother comiorteth i When darkness ills the skies, And shadows overbrood the way Before his doubing eyes, Looks forth, and gees a better land In which his future lies; So God, onr God, we look to Thee When storms of life assail, And mercy hides her heavenly lace Behind shrouding veil. Through all the storms and da.knesss We see Thy love prevail - As one his mother comfoTteth, Oh, tender words of grace, In which hidden soul oi love The weary heart may trace, And find a sweetness in the words For all our fallen race. So God, our Godi we turn to Thee In darkness and unrest, And find the One who comforteth Upon His loving breast Above our earthly comfoIter., The truest and ibe best

After Fifty Years.

The Erie (Pa. DlSpGtch tells this very large story: In the year 1920, when the great Napoleon was languishing in St. Helena and George ". mounted the British throne, little Jennie Miller, aged four, poked kernel of coffee into her right ear. The king and emperor have passed away, but that little kernel, preserved in the clear head of Miss Miller for over half century, is as fresh, fragrant and useful to-day as it was when she first showed it into her anricular appendage.
 It was brought to light yesterday morning as Miss Miller was sitting at breakfast with the family ofher brotf err in-law. Mir. J John Ralph, of West Eighth street. The lady complained of an un- easy sensation in her ear and requested her niece, Mir. Ralph's daughter, to see if any foreign substance had got in. A brown speck was observed and picked at with a needle It came away and the kernel fell into the old lady's lap. Then Miss Millerss memory carried her back half a hundred years and she re- membered the morning when she alarmed her mother and father by thrusting it into her ear.

years past he has been so severely af-
flicted with rheumatism as not only to be
unable to do physical labor, but the NAL
ady had even resulted in partial shriv-
cling and distortion of some of his limbs.
He was also attacked by cancer on his
tongue. As the combined diseases be-
came more aggressive, the genial Char
ley Parkhurst became, not morose, but
less and less communicative, till of late
he has conversed with no one except on
the ordinary topics of the day. .r
Last Sunday, in little cabin on the
Moss Ranch, about six miles from Wat
sonvllle, Charley Parkhurst, the famous
coachman, the fearless fighter, the indus
trious farmer, and expert woodman, died
of the cancer on his tongue. He knew
that death was approaching, but he did
not relax the reticence of his later years
other than to express a few wishes as to
certain things to be done at his death.
Then, when the hands of the kind friends
who had ministered to his dying wants
came to lay out the dead body Of the ad-
venturous Argonaut, discovery was
made that was literally astounding.
Charley Parkhurst was woman.
The discoveries of the successful con-
cealment for protracted periods of the
female sex under the disguise of the mas
culine are not infrequent, but the case of
Charley Parkhurst may fairly claim to
rank as by all odds the most astonishing
of all Of them. That a young woman
should assume mans attire and, friend
less and alone, defy the dangers of the
voyage of 1849, to the then almost myth
ical California-dangers over which
hardy pioneers still grow boastful-has
in it sufficient of the wonderful. That
she should achieve distinction in an oc-
cupation above all professions calling for
the best physical qualities of nerve, cour-
age, coolness and endurance, and that
she should add to them the almost ro-
mantic personal bravery that enables
one to fight ones way through the am
bush Of an enemy, seems almost fab
ulous, and that for thirty years she.
should be in constant and intimate asso-
citation with men and women, and that
her true sex should never have been even
suspected, and that she should finally 20
knowingly down to her death, without
disclosing by word or deed who she was
or why she had assumed mans dress and
responsibilities, are things that reader
might be justified in doubling, if the
proof of their exact truth was not 30
abundant and conclusive. On the great
register of Santa Cruz County for the
year 1867 appears this entry: Park
hurst, Charles Durkee, 55, New Hamp-
shire, farmer, Soquel," where he then
lived. 1t is said by several who knew
her intimately that she came from Prov
idence, R. I.
