A RICH mine has just been opened in Mani
tOba after a curious history. 1t had long been
known to the Indians, who believed that the
Great Spirit would kill anyone who revealed its

married a squaw, who In time told him the
golden secret.

| Society of Arts Conversations at the fisheries
exhibition, was contained in very pretty and

| GENERAL GRANT. being unable to accent the
invitation to attend the reunion of the soldiers
who fought on each side at the battle of Wilson's
creek, sent letter. in which he said: 81 hope
you will find tho occasion a very enjoyable one,
and that the soldiers who were arrayed against
| each other twenty-five years ago will be no less
| friends than if they had been engaged in the
same cause, and the only rivalry that may exist
between them hereafter will be to see who can
prove the best citizen of our common and great
| country"
| THE Fargo who married tn widow of Fargo,
| the expressman, is described 'as newspaper
man of limited MEANS" who once was rtch-that
was before he became a newspaper man, it is
not necessary to say. The widow in marrying
the newspaper man made a more aristocratio
| connection one would think than when she mar
ried'a $15-per-week expressman. Yet her re-
latives complain that the widow married below
her station. She should have sought some
broken-down English peer, an Italian count or
German baron in order to please her aristo-
cratic friends.
Mr.. GLADSTONE is reported to have said of the
gospel temperance mission" in England
"Fr0m the first have watched the temperance
| question with great interest; but am bound to
say that no phase of it has ever yielded me so
much satisfaction as this has done. To witness
the large number OF ministers OF all denomina-
tons, and, of course, the still larger number of
members of perhaps all the churches, wearing
the ribbon of blue, is an exceedingly gratifying
circumstance, and speaks well for the future.
Indeed, firmly believe, as far as this matter is
| concerned, that much brighter days Will soon,
in Gods good providence, dawn upon u.s."
! ''SoME not unnatural SURPRISE" says the Lon
don World, "has been expressed at the announce
ment that the Queen has conferred the honor of
| knghthood on the worthy halter who has thrice
served the Office of mayor of Windsor. hear
that Mr.. Devereux really owes his promotion to
i the fact that he was on very intimate terms with
the late john Brown, who in the habit of
comforting substantial favors on his obsequlous
friends among the Windsor tradesmen. AT the
weddings of the Dukes of COnnaught and AL
bany some of the best places the nave of St.
Georges chapel were occupied by these gentry,
and one or two OF them were even invited to the
| dejeuner at the Castle, thanks to the interven-
ton of their powerful friend"
| WHILE the Bishop of Peterborough has been
bravely fighting with death, his friends have
been recalling some of the brightest efforts of
his biting wit. One of his most effective sar-
casms was at the expense of prominent peer.
The Bishop was in a railway carriage Immersed
in newspaper when the temporal peer came
along, using language OF the most offensive char
| acter to a railroad porter who had mslaid some
of the lordly luggage When he entered the
carriage the peer saw the Bishop and saw also
that the Bishop must have overheard him. Pro-
fuse in his apologies the temporal lord explain
ed that he was rlghteously angry at piece of
culpable carelessness, and that in such cases he
was in the habit Of calling a spade spade. ST
| am surprised and delighted to hear that" the
Bishop quietly replied, because from my ex-
perlenee certainly was afraid that you called
it "a - shovel" The peer looked foolish
| and enterd another carriage.
