that it ought to be depleted. The settling of
prices down to gold basis, after resumption
in 1879, diminished the demand for money
for time and the national bankers of New
York took the ground that there was a re-
dundancy of money in the country, and the
remedy for the evil was to be sought for in
stopping the coinage of silver and the with
drawal of the greenbacks- with the under.
standing, of course that national bank notes
would take their place. They did not sue
ceed in persuading Congress to adopt their
theory, and now events prove that it was
mistake. The business of the country has
increased enormously in the last eighteen
months, and is increasing at this moment at
greater rate than ever. There is an i'm
mense amount of money in the land-$520,-
100000 gold and silver; $3.50, 100000 legal
tenders and 1854, ,000,0 600 national bank notes:
total 81 PA, 100000. But that this amount
is not too large for the demands of healthful
business, seems pretty clearly demonstrated
by the constant additions made to it by the
national banks themselves.-&. Louis Re-

GOLD MINING IN CAL1FoRN1A.-Part of
the town of Sonora, Tuolumne county, CAL,
is built on a hill. Several gold bearing
quartz veins run through this hill These
for thirty years past have been worked at
various times, afterwards abandoned and
then taken up and worked again. Some.
times they yielded richly, and again not at
all. They were of the character known as
"pocket veins" As many as ten years have
elapsed when not pick has been struck on
"Sonors HILL" Years ago the writer took
up, and for season worked portion of the
hill-wthout success. Within the last two
years, out of this same portion $500, 900 have
been taken. of which 100000 was "sll in
bunch" This fact gave an idea of the un-
certain character of gold mining as it exists
to-day in California. This find has made no
noise outside of its own locality. Had it
happened in a new Territory it would have
been published from one end Of the country
to the other. Such deposits still exist through
out the entire gold bearing region of Califor-
MIA. But no one need rush thiiher in the
hope of finding them. 1t is simply hunting
the proverbial needle in the haystack. Men
may spend their lives 10 such search, and per-
haps when they have worked through barren
quartz to within foot of the "pocket,'
death or Encouragement may overtake them,
and after lapse Of time the next adventurer
may reap the reward which should have been
theirs. There is a great amount of gold un
der the soil in California, but it is very diff:
6cult to say just where it is.-NeaO York

STORM SIGNALS OF MARRIED L1FE.-A
marriage has other uses than those of perpet.
uatng the race. In this great city there are
thousands of refined, high.strung apprecia.
tive but lone, desolate souls, for whom it
would be an earthly paradise to rest ever so
little in the shade of a really peaceful house
hold. But such peace must be genuine. 1t
must not be any patched up afair-any
show or respect of affection between husband
and wife before the guests face and a snarl
behind his back. It's just this lack of har
mony between husband and wife that makes
80 many households as dreary as tomb to
visit It's bad sign when the wife's friends
are hustled out of the husbands presence into
another room. It's bad sign when the hus.
bands visitors are not the wifes visitors, and
vics vsrsa It's bad sign if matters which
interest the wife do not interest the husband,
and vice versa. It's bad sign when the
lord of the manor looks down from his lofty
elevation and speaks with sneer, more or
less subdued, of the "frovolities of fashion,"
and deems it beneath him to assist the wife
in choosing dress pattern. Married part
nership must mean partnership in every
thing, or there's social desert for one party
or the other to travel over pretty often. En-
ma is talking of married life as she has seen
it in the houses of great and little men ; in
the houses of Judges and Generals, of law
years and politicians, among whom also
hoth great and little men are to be found.

TAKING THINGS FOR GRANTED-Half the
failures in life result from the habit 80 many
people have of taking things for granted.
The business man assumes that his credits are
good he takes it for granted that his wife
knows what style of living his income will
warrant, until the logic of addition, subtrac-
ton and multiplication proves too much for
him, and down comes his business in ruin.
The young professional man takes it for grant
ed that veneerng, instead Of solid acquire
ments, will enable him to succeed, because
there are 80 many notorious examples of
mems rising and maintaining themselves in
public life through pure audacity; native wit,
and an utter lack of conscience. He will
find too late that it won't do to Ian and risk
a career by the exceptions rather than the
rule. The farmer keeps no account-crops |
l. &c Ca 70 khoo loo not nc
markets, or his neighbor's success-takes it
for granted that the laws of nature and of
trade will accommodate themselves to his ne.
cessities-sink deeper into debt, and wonders
why farming doesn't pay. And so on to the
end; men everywhere want success without
paying its price in thorough preparation, hon.
est hard work, intelligent calculation and fore
sight, and patient attention to details. They
take for granted things which it is their busi-
ness to know, and trust that to fortune which
common sense and experience should teach |
them is controlled by law Golden Rule.
PRECoCrrY SIGN OF INFERIoRITY.-M.
Delaunay in communication to the French
Societe de Biologie has advanced the opinion
that precocity is sign of biological Inferior
ity. In support of his position, be adduces
the fact that the lower species dsvelope more
rapidly, and are at the same time more pre-
cocious than those higher in the scale. Man
is the longest of all in arriving at maturity
and the inferior races of men are more preco.
cious than the superior, as is seen in the chill
dren of the Esquimaux, negroes, Cochin Chi
nese, Arabs, japanese, etc., who are, up to
certain age, more vigorous and more intellect
ual than small Europeans. Precociousness
