Practical Suggestions to Claim OwHers-The Proper Way
 to Secure a Patent.

The following from the San Fran cisco Mining and Scientific Press i Of interest to the owners of mininy claims:
 ''The first of January will soon b, here, negligent miners are again re minded that they must do the worl required by the United States on ol before that date, or they will be ha ble to lose their claims. Plenty ot time and warning has been given and claim owners will have no one to blame but themselves if they for felt their rights by not attending tc their property in time.
 If certain claims are of any value, they will not be abandoned by the locators, and it will probably happen that some of the jumpers will get fooled in some cases, supposing that work is not done because 1t has been neglected until late. As a general thing. however, none but claims of some value will be liable to be jump ed, and many of these have no doubt been spotted" by this time by par ties on the lookout for just such chances. A good many miners will, of course, put off doing the necessary work until the last minute, intending to commence on the first day cf Jan uary. Those who are left out in the cold by procrastination can blame only themselves.
 'The best way, no doubt, for bona fde locators to do, is to patent their claims at once. This will save an nual expenditure and give a good title at the same time. A patent is a very good thing to hold in case of a sale. The English purchaser of min ing property will not look at any thing which is not covered by a Uni ted States patent, and it is an incen- tive to any purchaser to know that he is sure of a good title.
 "In this connection it IS proper to suggest to locators the propriety of having the original location proper ly surveyed by competent surveyor so as to have a perfect record to pro ceed upon when making application for patert. The careless way in which measurements are usually made in original locations makes it difficult to get the official surveys for patents in accordance with the legal regulations. A lawyer in this city told us not long since that in more than half the cases where pat ents were wanted 1t was impossible to get the surveys to correspond with the original record of location. In many cases the ground was formerly relocated to save trouble. It is al ways best to have a preliminary sur vey made before taking steps toward for patent.

The new penal code of New York contains a number of original fea- lures. It provides that intoxication cannot be pleaded in defence of crime; that he who hribes state off cers must go to the state prison for ten years and pay fine of $2,000; that jurors taking bribes must go to prison; that bribing witnesses is a felony; that parents abandoning chil- dren under six years of age must be imprisoned for seven years; that a person whose husband or wife has been absent i've successive years, and not known to be living, may re- marry.-Call.

does who has had a large brick

 little lonely to day-having met but
 few Republicans on the street, who
 were obliged to come out and do
 their marketing-we still hope for the future. The grand old .Republi-

 said last week. It sounds hollow
 now and meaningless, somehow, be-
 cause our voice is a little hoarse, and
 we are showed under so deep that it is difficult for us to enunciate. Now,
 about those bets. If inc parties to whom we owe bets-and we owe most everybody-will just agree to take the stakes, and not go into details not stop to ask us the state of our mind, and talk about how 1t was done-we don't care. We don't wish to have this thing explained at all. We are not of an inquiring turn of mind. Just plain facts are good enough for us without any harrow ing details. In the meantime we are going to work to earn some more mo ney, to bet on the next election. Judge Folger and others, come over and sec us when you have time, and we will talk this matter over. MT. B. Butler, we wish we had your long evity. With a robust constitution, we ind that most any man can wear out cruel fate, and get there at last. We do not feel so angry as we do grieved and surprised.

We have met the enemy, and we are his'n. We have made our re- marks, and we are now ready to lis ten to the gentleman from New York. We could have dug out, perhaps, and
 explained about New York; but when almost every State in the Union rose up and made certain statements yes terday, we found that the job of ex- plaining this matter thoroughly would be wearisome, and require a great deal of time We do not blame the Democracy for this. We are a little surprised, however, and griev- ed. It will interfere with our ward robe this winter. With an overcoat on Wyoming, a plug-hat on Iowa, pair of pantaloons on Pennsylva- nia, and boots on the general result, it looks now as though we would plo
 bably go through the winter wrapped in bed-quilt and profound medita
 ton. We intended to publish an ex- tra this morning, but the news was of such character that we thought we would get along without it. The
 cause of this great Democratic fresh ct in New York yesterday-but why go into details Eve all have an idea why 1t was so. The number of votes would seem to indicate that there was tendency toward Democracy throughout the country. Now, in Pennsylvania, if you will look over the returns carefu !ly--but why should we take up your valvable time offering ali explanation of DO litical matter of the past? Under the circumstances some would gc and yield to the soothing influences of the maddening bowl, but we dc not advise that. It would only fnr- nish temporary relief, and the recoil would be unpleasant. We resume our duties with feeling of extreme lassitude, and with that sense of sur
 prise and astonishment that a mar

A matter of selection: Charles Lever tells of an Irishman who, while 8 wheel of stage-coach was passing over him, cried out: "What's this for?" We know of an Arkansaw man who was equally self-possessed
 While standing in saloon, where a party of conylvlalists had gathered, a pistol belonging to one of the party was accidentally discharged. The Arkansaw man fell, shot through the body.

The most trifing actions that eff feet a mans credit are to be regard ed. The sound of your hammer at five in the morning or nine at night, heard by a creditor makes him easy six months longer; but, if he hears your voice at tavern or sees you at a billiard table when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next day.-Franklin.

Every seat in the lower part Of the
house was occupied at the theater
Saturday night. Many stood about
the walls, and at least one hundred
and fifty people, of both sexes, occu-
pied the second tier or family circle,
and the number of people in attend
ance was not far from eight hundred,
of which, perhaps, half paid the usual
admittance fee, the remainder being
members of the Mozart Musical Club
and invited guests. The music of
Audran's sparkling opera was, in the
main, rendered very neatly, aud many
portions won hearty applause in
deed, several concerted parts were
given so admirably that they
had to be repeated. Miss
Camp was a spirited Olivette, Mrs.
Mansford a handsome and tuneful
Countess, and Mr.. Maya very amusing
Coquillicot. The other characters
were conducted chiefly through the
assistance of the invisible though
plainly heard prompter. They all
sung very cleaverly, however, and the
choruses were equally we'll given, An
efficient orchestra Of twelve instru-
ments, led by Mr.. Winkler, contrib
uted to the success of the entertain
ment. The Mozarts are quite elated
at their effort, and the audience gen
orally expressed themselves much de-
lighted, at the interesting and brilliant
entertainment afforded.

The Botanical garden has curious
history, 1t has grown up with very
little help from the law. When the
Wilkes exploring expedition returned
to the United States about forty years
ago it brought back from the South
Pacific certain rare specimens of fora
of those regions and Congress appro-
priated $1,000 to have them properly
cared for, and as a report of the expe-
dition was to be published under the
direction of the Committee on Library
the care Of the botanic specimens was
placed under its supervision. OF
course the thing grew, till new the
Botanic garden is an institution"
which costs about $l5,000a year and
upon which, first and last, nearly
100000 Of public money has been ex
pended. The garden appears to be
useful only as "a thing of beauty" and
in that respect mainly for the purpose
of furnishing free flowers to official
society. l1.

"Our Little Ones BaIIetin."
IF we ever had a shadow of a
doubt in regard to the success Of Our
Little Ones, that shadow has passed
away. Some experienced publishers
assured us the public would neither
appreciate nor pay for a thoroughly
artistic magazine for little people. The
Nursery has been brilliant success
from its beginning, fifteen years ago,
and this has been the only publication
Of Just this kind in the United States,
or in fact, in the world. The price Of
"0ur Little Ones" is the same, and,
therefore, it is simply a question of
appreciation. Our greatly increased
and increasing subscription list, the
very generous notices of the press, and
the enthusiastic testimony contained
in thousands of letters, assure us that
the public do appreciate just such a
publication as Our Little Ones and
THE Nursery" The forgoingis what
the publishers, Russell 4 Co., Boston,
Mass say of their highly interesting
publication, which is everyway worthy
Of public patronage. A bound volume
of Our Little Ones" is one Of the
most bAutiful books Of the year, and
has had a rapid sale, as it deserved.
The magazine is the very thing for
children, full Of illustrations, both
II !
culated to mould the taste Of children
in the direction of drawing and art.
Many elderly people are also fond Of
reading the sketches, at the same time
admiring the engravings. The firm OF
Russell & Co. supply numerous other
publications Of an inviting character,
but the Little Ones Bulletin is one
of the best and most charming that
reaches US.
