STREET DEPARTMENT.

In making up the estimate OF expendi~
lures at the beginning of the fiscal year,
comparatively small appropriation was
made for the Department of Streets. The
amount appropriated has been expended
on repairs at the most needed points, in
the jud9 ment of the Committee. But
while the Committee has been able to keep
most of the streets in fair condition with
the means at their command, the system
of simply repairing" will not suffice, on
some of the most used thoroughfares at
least, much longer. They will soon need
to be almost absolutely re-Macadamized,
and it will be wise economy to have it
done as soon as the finances will permit.

Tfie Distressing Consequences of n
Misrepresentation.
The father of a Eureka family, upon
going home to dinner recently, was en-
countered by his second boy, who would
have climbed upon paternal's knee, the
envied kiss to share. The gushing child
was repressed and unceremoniously put
aside, while the paternal's nose went into
the air at such an angle as only the odors
of an unmentionable animal could be sup
posed to stimulate it to. Mother re1non-
strated, and wanted to know what was the
matter with her darling child. She was not
satisfied that her pet was disastrously out
Of order until it appeared at dinner 10 the
seat nearest dear mama, Immediately
her nostrils expanded, also, and without
the ordinary feminine waste OF words, she
snatched the pet, and despite its howls,
relegated it to the kitchen during the
meal. The child, on being stripped for its
little bed, underwent a thorough overhaul
ing. The poor urchin was found with a
piece of limburger cheese in his pocket,
which he had snatched from the China
man, who had come upon the odorous
Wand in the cellar, and taking it for some
thing dead had carried it forth into the
back yard to bury it. Had the source Of
the odor not been thus happily discovered
it is among the possibilities that the China
man might have taken mothers darling
for dead and buried it, too.

practice Of ~polygamy and bigamy as prac-

nized as a portion of their Church creed
Second-If not sufficient, will you, if
| elected to Congress, do everything in your
power, by voice and vote, to secure such
legislation az will fully and etfectually
suppress such evil, in SO far as it can be
suppressed by National legislation?

The Trench Mine.

We learn from John McGrath, who is
here at present in the interest of the
Trench Mining Company, that steps are
being taken to resume work on the old
Trench mine, and others belonging to the
company on White Pine Mountain, near
Hamilton. Some seven or eight tons OF
ore from these mines will be brought over
to the Geddes x Bertrand reduction
works to determine whether they can be
reduced by the teaching process in use
there. If so, teaching watts will be put up
at the old Monte Cristo mill, and work
be started directly. That the ores can be
30 reduced is confidently expected. We
are told by Mr.. McGrath that in addition
to the high grade on band in the mines
there is a very large quantity OF low grade
ore, ranging from $50 to $40 per ton,
already mined and ready to be reduced.
The resumption Of work on White Pine
Mountain is important, and is another in
dication that that district may yet regain
its lost prestige.
