About Advertising.

A statement is going the rounds that
the lowest priced column of the New
York Herald nets $39, 723 per year, the
highest $148, 900. J. 7. Bolles, of Ge-
neya, once had occasion to advertise in
that paper while he was in the city, and
entering the business Office, he took his
place in line with some twenty others.
They approached the desk of the adver-
tising department, where the clerk
counted the words in the notice, stated
the price and received the cash in ad-
vance in all instances. Each one did
not require more than two minutes.
He noticed one man approach just in
advance of Bolles's turn. The clerk
counted the words and sung out, "Four
seventy-fve, please. !" What isn't
that pretty steep ?'' inquired the man,
in really country sort of way. The
clerk didn't stop to daily two hours
with this customer, inform him how
everything had advanced, and to take
the advertisement at lower rate would
be to rob James Gordon Benefits chill
dren of bread. He did not deliver to
him long lecture on how much it
costs to run an Office, men to pay, paper
makers to deal with, wear and tear of
type and machinery, a string that al
most every country publisher has learned
by heart. He spoke politely, but with
a business air." Step right along, sir;
l have no time to talk with you.

THE ALAMO.

The Alamo-the old stone cathedral
of San Antonio is the Thermopyla of
the New World. Its story only differs
from that told of Leonidas and his de-
voted band in the fact that Of the 165
defenders of the Alamo, against 1000
Mexicans, there was no survivor to
6 tell it in Lacedamon that we died
here in obedience to her laws The
Alamo was besieged through eleven
days and nights. At length, when
assaulted before day dawn oil every side
and when it's garrison was exhausted
by constant dangers and tolls, the Mexi-
cans scaled the stone-wall enclosing the
church. The commander of the strong
hold had consulted his men. They had
resolved never to surrender. Bowie's
body was found pinned to his bed OF
sickness by bayonets. Around the spot
at which David Crockett served 13-
FOUNDER, Mexicans were heaped up as
if to constitute fortress for the irwin
chile Tennesseean. Travis's negro body
servant, Ben, was still living nine years
ago. His life was spared that he might
designate the bodies of the fallen chief
tains. Mrs. Dickinson, whose husband
was Connecticut tradesman and lieu
tenant of a.E6lunteer company of San
Antonio, occupied a small apartment
in the basement of the church. Dick
inson fell sword in handsat the door
way to this apartment. Almonte in
terposed and made the infuriated
drunken Mexicans spare Mrs. Dickin-
son and her child, and this now vener-
able woman and the children of this
daughter still live in Austin, Texas.
But we only proposed to say that the
is now occupied as grocery
store. 1t is in the business center of San
Antonio, and its owner would sell the
and, destroying the old church
by time with memories
illustrative of the valor of Americans,
erect new buildings on the site. There
are million and quarter dollars in the
treasury of Texas, and the State only
owes a debt of four millions, fastened
on it by the carpet-bag oligarchy, and
its failure to buy and preserve the
Alamo would be a foul wrong to Ameri-
can fame and deeds and history. If
Texas be so false toher own pride of local
history and patriotism that this proudest
to valor must perish,
even the American Union should inter-
pose that the Alamo may tell posterity
forever how brave men have fought and
died for local freedom-the strongest
passion, as shown in New England
anniversaries, that underlies and adorns
American character.

HOW IT FEELS.

James Humphrey, Canadian, nearly
froze to death in a recent storm when
driving homeward from Wallacetown
to AldborOugh. He has since given this
description of his experience to cor
respondent of the st. Thomas Times,
which we publish for the information
of those of our readers who may want
to commit suicide and yet have not the
nerve to do it because ordinary meth
ods are either painful, or hash up the
remains badly
"When he felt no longer able to hold
the reins with any grip he determined
to seek shelter in the first house until
well warmed. His tongue became stiff,
then his arms, sharp chills ran down
his back, and finally it seemed as
though the whole body was being con-
gealed, causing an almost total eessa-
tion of the hearts action. This condi-
ton of extreme suffering and despond-
ency speedily gave place to feeling of
grateful warmth, suffusing the system
and causing an exhilarating glow. By
this time he had reached a house, but
he drove on, thinking that nothing was
to be feared. The sleigh, instead of
crawling along, at snail's pace, ap-
peared to glide through the air with
great swiftness, and the horses fairly
flew like pigeons. A sense of exulta-
tion filed the farmers breast as he
urged the horses to a still greater
speed, and the woods on each side were
passing so quickly that they became in
distinguishable black lines. Then the
sleigh bells sounded fainter and fainter,
until the chimes disappeared in the dis
tance. The farmer fell gradually into
a delicious slumber, which came near
being the sleep that knows no waking,
and he knew no more until brought to
life under vigorous treatment. 4"

An Old PROPRIETOR In u Streak Of
Luck.
1t is not often that we feast our eyes on
native silver from the mines OF this dis
trict, but yesterday Mike Lyons came in
from the Dugout mine on Prospect Noun
tain with two beautiful specimens contain
ing wire silver that he had taken from near
the surface. He says that there is more
of the same kind to be found, and has
promised to bring in a nice specimen in a
few days to place in our cabinet. The his
tory of the Dugout mino is such that had
it been situated anywhere in Colorado the
newspapers Of that State would be tenn
ing with glowing counts of it. Mike
Lyons worked at the Richmond furnaces a
few years ago, but was stricken with lead
collie and compelled to go to San Fran
cisco for a change Of climate. AS soon as
he recovered his health he obtained en-
ployment at the @. P. R. r. freight. depot,
but, pining for his old haunts, returned to
Eureka, and unable to find employment
commenced prospecting. While SO en-
ployed he discovered some good looking
float rock at the western base Of Prospect
Mountain, near where it joins the Spring
Valley Range. He traced out the ledge,
and, with Paddy O'Keefe as his partner,
commenced running an open cut up the
side of the hill. Their painstaking was
we'll rewarded. They have since shipped
to the furnaces enough ore to keep them
comfortable for several years, and now
have one of tho very best mines On Pros

A Picture.

There is on exhibition at the Parker
House a picture containing the photo
graphs Of all the members Of the late Me-
rada legislature. These gentlemen we
know to be all honorable men, hence we
are at liberty to speak of their photo
graphs without exciting any suspicion that
we have not for them all the regard that
they are entitled to. Were we not lure
that the originals in the picture are what
they are. we might have suspected that
they had been ranged along on so many
lines there ia no grouping) in order to
save space and get as many rogues' faces
on the placard as possible. We think this
is the most striking accomplishment Of the
artist. Having conceded this much to
him, however, in this running critique,
he has all the credit due him for his pho
Biography. No one will blame any mem
Der Of the recent Legislature to deny that
he was among that crowd. If he should
disclaim his " picture he would only ex-
cite sympathy--which calls to mind
a little story Of two men who met
in Sacramento. One Of them had
Just come in from Idaho and
found his former partner occupying
., seat in the Legislature. The former,
who had been q horse thief, said to the
latter: For Christ,s sake, Jim, don't blow
on mo-" GAN right" answered the latter,
well say nothing about it, If you'll agree
when you write back to the boys in Idaho
not to tell them that you ran across me
here in the Legislature Of California"
They shook hands and then both continued
,,ncog. A similar %obscurity would doubt
less be greatly to the advantage Of at least
a majority OF the Lawmakers whose faces

SAN FRANCISCO, March 17-9 O'clock
The Albion Trustees have all resigned,
except Heydenfeldt. The new Board con-
sists of Fish, H~eydenfeldt, Ralston, Wag-
ner, Scott and Hart. 1t is agreed that
LOGAN takes the place Of Jacobs. An ami

out. If 30, I leave for home tomorrow,
otherwise will stay until a just and equi-
table arrangement is made. The parties
are willing to meet Hansen, Tore, and
my views. Will send you particulars when
consummated. r. SADLER
In the afternoon a dispatch was received
from F. w. Clute by William Pardy, man
ager Of the White Pine Bank, saying that
an adjustment of Albion affairs had been
effected.
Other dispatches were received later in
the day to the same effect, and stating that
Messrs. Tore and Hansen would start for
home this afternoon.
T. J. Read received a dispatch from the
new Board of Directors, q majority OF
whom appear to be Directors Of the Eu-
reka Consolidated also, requesting him to
take charge of the property.
ALI this means, if it means anything at
all, and it certainly does, that 1.-THE first

from the letters of liens and attachments.

perienced superintendency of Mr.. Read,
we are confident that the Albion mine will
become a paying property and make good
its indebtedness.
