The OId-EasIiOned Girl.

She fourished thirty or forty years
ago. She was little girl until she
was fifteen. She used to help her
mother wash the dishes and keep the
kitchen tidy, and.she had an ambi-
ton TO make pies so nicely that papa
could not tell the difference between
them and mammals and yet she could
fry griddlecakes at ten years OF age,
and darn her own stockings before
she was twelve, to say nothing OF
knitting them herself.
She never said Il can't" and IL
don't want to-" to her mother when
asked to leave her play and run up
stairs or down on an errand, because
she had not been brought up in that
way. Obedience was a cardinal viz
tue in the old fashioned little girl.
She rose in The morning when she
was called, and went out into the
garden and saw the dew on the grass,
and if she lived in the country she
fed the chickens and hunted up the
eggs for breakfast.
She did not think she knew rs
much as mother, and that her judg-
ment was as good as her grand
mothers.
And if there be an old-tashioned
lutte girl in the world to-day, may
heaven bless her and keep her, and
raise up others like her.

Innocent Games.
From the Ne,v York Times.
The motives of the man who de-
vised modification of the pattern OF
playing cards by substituting colonies
and Goddesses of Liberty for kings
and Queens, and supplying the place
of the spades, diamonds, clubs and
hearts with stars and other novel fig
ures, may have been pure, but his
conduct was not wholly above suspi-
cion. He may have intended to as
sist mendacious boys to play cards
and yet, with seeming truth, to
allege that they were playing some
new and thoroughly evangelical
game, but at least one conspicuous
case has been the result of his lnven'
ton, and it is difficult to acquit him
of large share of the blame.
The Rev. Mr.. Thompson is a much
respected clergyman of Clinton, Ill:
For many years he has been a local
leader Of the extreme low church
party, and, in private life, without

could with difficulty be distinguished
from a Presbyterian.
Mr.. Thompson was particularly
earnest in his opposition to card
playing. He held that it was
scarcely distinguished from gamb-
ling, and that it was nearly as OBJ

himself back into the chair he began
looking around at the mysterious

what effect the signature would

Marked Improvenent I'm the Late
Eima.
The late discovery in the San Jose mine
is proving to be one Of the most valuable
ever disclosed in this district. The ~lessees,
Mr.. v. H. Taylor and his partner, have
been driving operations the past week with
splendid success. The ore body during
this time has been penetrated q farther
distance Of II feet, and the bonanza found
to be widening both to the right and to the
left. The dimensions Of the body are yet
undetermined, though enough is known to
establish the fact beyond peradventure that
the San Jose is . mine Of great value, and
still greater promise. Assays made recently
ran from $195 to $2S7 per ton. Choice
pieces Of ore also are frequently encounter
cd so impregnated with free gold as to rem
der the precious particles visible to the
naked BYE. These specimens would no
doubt assay away up into the thousands,
but the tests thus far made have been con-
fined to average samples. There is from
80 to 40 tons Of rich on the dump. Only
two men, the ~lessees, are engaged on the
mine. They leased the mine for one year,
and have yet about six months to run.
The boys are feeling especially jubilant %
they are in . fair way to make q handsome
raise. The shipment Of ore will be COM
menced in about 10 days il the weather is
fair.

A strike showing Flakes OF Horn
silver.

DlnvGEs
Another important development has
been made in the Geddes & Bertrand. A
few days since the workmen cut into a
body Of ore at the bottom Of the SOO-foot
level. 1t is said to carry the richest ore
ever found in this remarkably rich mine.
The gangue is in the nature Of iron pro-
fusely stratiied with seams. Running
through all Of these seams are flakes or
ribbons Of pure horn silver. The discov-
cry is something out Of the line Of the
finds hitherto made in this section. Horn
silver has never been characteristic of the
ores Of this district. Also scattered
through this horn silver ore are huge
round chunks Of black metal, estimated to
be worth thousands to the ton. How
much there may be of this rich mass is not
yet known, but the indications would seem
to warrant the belief that it exists in large
quantities. Unusual importance attaches
to the development on account of its depth
and marvellous richness. The Geddes h
Bertrand during it's earlier history proved
to be one Of the richest and most produc-
tive mines ever found in the Eastern por-
ton Of the State. That the good old days
OF it's prosperity seem about to return ia
more than assured.
