Isn't IL Funnyg

A man who has about forty seven hairs
growing on his face is always possessed
to wear q full beard, and goes about with
a countenace ike thinly -settled huckle-
berry pasture; while the man that can
beat Aaron of old clean out of sight with
full beard, shayes close twice week,
and the rest of the time his face looks
like sheet of No. emery paper. They
are each reaching for the imposs ible,
and miss il by hair.

General average.

There has been a considerable addition, not
only to the aggregate population, bat to the
rate Of growth, though the lower average in
the previous decade was unquestionably due
partly to the war and partly to the defective
enumeration in the Southern States. The lat
ter cause also gives the South better showing
in the comparative exhibit than that section

A COPPER CENTER.

Quite an impetus has of late been
given to the copper business, and
there is every reason to hope that in
a short time Dayton will be not only
a point OF interest to owners and
traders In lead silver ores and base
bullion, but also to any connected
with the copper interests OF the
United States. Copper mines are
daily being discovered. One of the
old mines in Mason Valley is now
supplying ore to furnace in sue
cessiul operation, and number of
others will soon be ready to ship.
Dayton has many advantages over
any other available point as tn ia
cilities for working the ores, on ac-
count of cheap fuel and water
power. The ores can be brought
in on the C.. s. G. r. r. at small
cost, as they will be in the nature
of back freight. and when these
items are taken into consideration,
it will be seen that the copper can
be worked here to better advantage
than elsewhere.

sidering themselves held doan strict

fore them; the minority iii report :
ing in effect the same facts, qualify
their report by the opinion that
no wrong was intended. Neither
report recommends any further &C.

THE CALIFORNIAN FOR APRIL.

The Californian for April is at
hand. 1t contains mauy interesting
and we'll written articles, and is in
many respects the best number of
this periodical that has yet appeared.
The leading articles are those by
George Davidson, John s. Hittell,
and Josiah Royce. Davidson ably
advocates endowments for scientific
research, Hittell shows that pessi.
mists have existed in all ages, and
that the world-in their opinion
has always been on the verge of ru-
in Royce ably analyses George Ell
lot as religious teacher, showing
the various phrases of her religious
beliefs and speculations.
1t also contains several excellent
stories, sketches and poems.

ing most valuable auxiliary of the
literature of the Coast.
