LEGITIMATE MINING.

Financial and Mining News.


Financial and Mining News.
To every well informed and observant
person who has given the subject due re-
Election it must appear that legitimate
mining in the United States offers better
inducements to persons seeking invest
ments than any other industry, not ex-
cepting agriculture or commerce. A loose
assertion has been made that for every
dollar taken out Of the ground two dollars
were expended. This is absolutely incor-
rect, as carefully compiled statistics show
most unmistakably hat for every dollar
expended in searching for gold, between
four and five dollars are realized. A great
proportion of the failures which occur ID
connection with this pursuit. are due 70
gross mismanagement. Mon h would
not for a moment entertain a thought OF
embarking in 0 mercantile venture WITH
out having an extended experience IN the
particular line of business, and also hav-
ing about them q corps OF equally well
posted assistants, will rush blindly into
mining and place complete reliance in
luck. Such parties regard their efforts a
mere gamble, and are successful as often
as the faro player. The other class OF
mine owners who, in developing their
properties, put every dollar where 1t will
do the most good, require their employees
to do . good days work for q good days
wages, save a dollar here or a dollar there
wherever they see an opportunity above or
below ground, are practical miners OF wide
experience, or else have under them in
every department trustworthy men. while
they themselves are sbrewd fipanciers.
These men are almost always successful.
A failure with them is the exception, while
with less shrewd investors it is the rule.
In fine, persons should be slow to embark
in mining enterprise until they feel as
sured thai their own knowledge, or that OF
some trusted agent, is Of q character to
warrant them to 60 ahead.

Overland stage Robbed.

BOISE CRY, July 23.-The overland stage
that left here last evening for Kelton, was
stopped this morning about I O'Clock by
road agents, about two miles this side of
Saul's Rest. The robber pulled a shotgun
on the driver. He was handed one OF
Wells, Fargo Il Co.'s treasure boxes, there
being two on board. The one he got was
the Wood River box, containing one pack
age OF $500 and some small amounts.
The passengers were not molested. Mr..
HALEY, Superintendent Of the stage com.
pany. and City Marshal Robbins have
started in pursuit.

Indicted for Forgery.

An old Nevada Indian agent has been
indicted for forgery, says the Bodie Press,
and he will be tried in Washington. No
one will doubt but that he is guilty of the
charges made against him, and a great deal
besides. An Indian agent is considered a
villain on general circumstances, and if
be is not crooked when appointed he soon
falls into the habit of cheating the reds
out Of half their just dues-or what the
Government sets aside for them. Blu.

convicted :?

Heavy Betting.

The Virginia Chronicle says that a gen.

games there q few days since. His bets
were 500 each, and in one deal he won
nine straight bets. His luck then turned
and he lost SO, 100, which he paid on the
spot in gold coin. Continuing the game,
he won back all he had lost and several
hundred dollars more. In view OF the
present depression in business. it was
hoped that he might have left q part OF
his wealth in that CITY,

The girls Of Tennessee are lovely, but

teous they may perhaps get married to fell
Freddie, Willie, or Harry, but who will
guarantee their felicity afterward? The
only solid ground for the hope Of bliss in
this world is a firm character and a good
education ; and we fear that no girl who
spells her name in such . silly manner
can possess those qualifications.

SHORTNEss OF LIFE.-Life IS very crit
ical. Any word may be our last. Any
farewell, even amid glee and merriment,
may be forever. If this truth were but
burned into our consciousness, and if it
ruled as a deep conviction and real power
in our lives, would it not give new mean
ing to our relationship? Would it not
make us far more tender than we some
times are? Would it not oftentimes put
rein upon our rash and impetuous speech?
Would we carry in our hearts the misera-
BILE suspicious and jealousies that now SO
often .embitter the fountains of our livesp
Would we be so impatient of the faults of
others? Would we allow the trivial mis-
understanding to build up wall between
us and those who ought to stand very close
to us? Would we keep alive petty quar-
rels year after year, which a manly word
any day would compose? Would we pass
old friends and neighbors on the street
without reco gnition, because of some real
or fancied slight, some wounding of pride.
or ancient grudge? Or would we be so chary
of our kind words, our commentator,
our sympathy, our comfort, when weary
hearts all about us are breaking for Just

ton as we have in our power to give2

Should a Baby be Fat?

| While there is measure of truth in the
| assertion that fat babies are not nece5sarl
| ly healthy. the following much quoted ex-
tract from physicians letter to a Bos-
ton paper is likely to do mischief by its ex-
travagant condemnation of fat. Speaking
of fatty degeneration the physician says:
s'Most infants do become thus diseased
before they are three months old. This
stops the growth and leaves the poor de-
| ceived parents nothing but increase in
weight to boast Of; and when the poor
| little victim to his own greed and his pa
rents folly gets to the end of its tether he
melts away like butter in hot oven, and
then it is seen how poor lin fiesh) he has
been all the time. Few comprehend the
broad difference between flesh and fat
! The first is lean meat--muscle-the result
of growth; while fat don't care how
solid and firm it may be-is the product of
accumulation of unexcretial excess. This
is why no one bets a dollar on fat
horse or fat mare. They are soft and
cant stay It is every whit as true of fat
baby. The only wonder is that any infant
lives many days after it's birth. Fed be-
fore but three times day, he is after birth
subjected to ten or twelve meals in twenty
four hours. Before birth he grows at the
rate of ten pounds per year, after birth he
is permitted to fat at the rate of fifty
pounds per year until chronic dyspepsia or
some acute disease interferes. Feel of
kitten, calf. colt, or a young robin-they
are, and remain while growing, but little
more than skin and bones and fur or
feathers, because unable to get enough to
fatten them, and they never die-rarely
have any sort of disease. Children are
never fairly sout of the woods until they
reach the lean age and have pipe stem legs
and arms, with no rolls of fatty tissue
anywhere about them. Could they be
kept so from birth and not be permitted
to over indulge, so that their appetites
would always be reliable for plain food,
they would have no lnfantile diseases to
enrich our pockets"
Why should the kitten, the colt, or the
young robin be taken as model of infan-
tile health, rather than the puppy, the bear
cub, the pig, or the young pigeon -? 1t is
the nature of some animals to be lean and
healthy; of others to be fat and healthy;
and there is as marked difference in the
natural tendency of young children. In
fants of the same parentage and feed at
the same breast will differ in this respect
and hoth ha healthy Fat laid on at the
rate ''of so pounds year" isquite another
matter, and one not liable, we take it, to
be common cause of anxiety. Injudicious
feeding is more apt to show itself in lack
of fat, and lack of proper muscular tissue
as we'll. That sort of leanness is much
too common in young humanity

A Death Scene.

Step lightly, for just in the chamber
there life is fast ebbing away. The pale,
worn form, lying SO calmly on the bed, has
seen the ups and downs of nearly centu-
ry. Children, grandchildren, and even
their descendants, have been rocked to
sleep in those arms; and now they stand
around in solemn expectancy of the end,
for life's three score years and ten have
been far overreached, and the parting must
come. Scarcely whisper passes from one
to the other, for each is intently watching
the beloved breathing. about the only sign
that the spirit has not yet fled. Some eyes
are moist, but the faces of all bear that ex
preston of awaiting the inevitable with
the full conviction that the Judgment will
be "Well done, thou good and faithful
servant" Soon evening changes into
night and the hours move slowly on. Of
sudden the face of the dying woman as
sumes supremely happy look, the eyes
that had been sightless for many years
seem again lit up, and murmured well
come at the glad summons passes her lips.
And then in turn she calls on those about
her, and with some gentle word bids each
good by. The exertion proves too trying,
and her breathing grows fainter and fain-
ter. A feeble hand is thrown over the side
of the bed, the long, thin fingers move ner-
.vously, and in a failing voice the aged wo-
man calls for her daughter-in-law, who,
with the love of Ruth of old, has always
chung to her. She commands her to kneel
beside the couch, and after having both
hands placed upon the bowed head, pours
out a blessing, her last and most precious
gift. What thrill passes through every
heart as the words fall slowly from those
lips so soon to be hushed forever. The
hands drop to the bed again, and are once
more folded over her breast. The breath
ing becomes more labored, and the inter-
walls linger. Finally it is hushed entirely;
the watchers look omlnously at each other,
but deep sigh from the wasted figure
proves that life is still there. But the end
approaches fast, and without warning
the spirit leaves it's earthly home. What
is life? What is death One moment
here, the next in the great hereafter

LIFE IN OTHER WoRLDs.-Twe inter-
esting problems which have long perplexed
the scientific world appear to have been at
last defnitively solved by the eminent ge-
ologist, DR.. Hahn. These questions are,
| first, whether or not celestial bodies. other
than the earth, belonging to our solar sys-
tenn, are inhabited by animate beings, and
secondly, whether the meteoric stones
from time to time cast upon the surface of
this globe emanate from incandescent
comets or from volcanic planets. That
they at no time formed part Of the earth
itself has been conclusively demonstrated.
DR.. Hahn has recently completed series
of Investigations upon some of the huge
meteoric stones that fell from the skies in
Hungary during the summer of 1866. Thin
lamin@ of these mysterious bodies, subjec-
ted to examination under powerful mi
cr0scope, have been found to contain coral
line and spongeous formations, and to re-
veal unmistakable traces of the lower
forms of vegetation. All the organisms,
animal and vegetable. discovered by Dr.
Hahn in the delicate stone shavings he has
thus dealt with indicate the condition of
their parent world to be one of what is
technically called ''primary formation. ,"
But the presence of water in that world
is proved by the fact that the tiny petrifed
creatures revealed by the magic of the
lens, one and all, belonged to the so-called
subaqueous classes of animals. They could
not, therefore, have possibly existed in
comets, at least if the assumption be cor
rect that these are in a state of active
combustion. telegraph.

Her hands are cold. her face is white,
No more her pulses come and go;
Her eyes are shut to life and light;
Fold the white vesture, snow on snow,
And lay her where the viOlets blow.
But not beneath craven stone,
To plead for tears with alien eyes;
A slender cross of wood alone
Shall say that here a maiden lies,
In peace beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees. of hugest limb
Shall wheel their crcling shadows round,
To make the scorching sunlight dim
That drinks the dampness from the ground,
AMI drop their dead leaves on her mound.
When DER their boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the robins call.
And ripening in the autumn sun,
The acorns and the chestnuts fall,
Doubt not that she will heed them ALL
For her the morning choir shall sing
Its mathis from the branches hlgh,
And every minstrel voice of spring,
That trills beneath the April sky,
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
When turning round their dial-track,
Eastward the frightening shadows pass;
Her little mourners, clad in black.
The crickets, sliding through the grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
At last the rootlets of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies,
So may the soul that warmed them riSe
If any, born of kindlier blood,
Should ask ''What maiden lies below?"
Say only this: "a tender bud,
That tried to blossom in the snow,
Lies withered where the violets blows
"Shut In
''Shut in, shut in. from the ceaseless din
OF the restless world, and its want and sin,
And all the weariSome round of life.
Shut in with tears, that are spent in vain
With the dull companionship of pain;
Shut in with the changeless days and hours,
And the bitter knowledge of failing powers.
Shut in with dreams of the days gone by,
With buried joys that were born to die,
Shut in with the hopes that have lost their zest,
And leave but a longing after rest.
Shut in with the trio of angels sweet,
Patience and Gr6ce, all pain to meet
With Faith, that car suffer, and stand, and wait
And lean on the promises, strong and great.
Shut in with Christ! oh wonderful thought
Shut in with the peace, His sufferings brought,
Shut in with the loUe, that wields the rod,
Oh company best! Shut in with God!''
