Owing to the fact that Monday was one
of the most stormy days of the season, the
attendance at the Christmas trees at the
churches was rather limited, but those who
had the courage to venture out report a
good time. At the College Chapel, the room
was nicely decorated, the tree being well
filed with nice presents, and many found it
was good for them to be there.

THE FIRST THROUGH TRAIN.
1t Came In Last Saturday, butt
Brought No Passengers.


Saturday afternoon there was q
grand rush of hacks, stages, and OK.
press wagons to meet the first regular
incoming passenger train, and Van
Ness & Co., who had chartered the
large transfer omnibus from Joseph
Morrill,, sent it to the depot loaded
with citizens who desired to see the
arrivals by the cars. Frank Stable,
who has secured as fine an outfit in
teams and wagons for the transfer OF
and baggage from the de-
pot As can be found in many large
cities, started them to meet the train,
and during the next half hour, the
rattle of stages and wagons called to
mind some older communities, where
train arrivals have been 4 daily
occurrence for years. Among so
many conveyances, the passengers
evidently got lost, As none came to
:own.

NOTES ABOUT 6ALENA.
4 BONANZA In the Dirigo-Other Claims
Near By-Eastern Visitors, Etc.

4 Bonanza in the Dirigo- Other Claims
Near By-Eastern visiters, Etc.
A gentleman who has just arrived
from the upper country states that the
people of Galena are excited over a
strike recently made in the Dirigo, a
claim owned by King & Gerard, in
Cherry Gulcb, about three miles from
Galena. The Adge, which, up to last
Wednesday, had been stripped for a
length of 30 feet, showed uniform
width of SO inches of solid high-grade
ore. J. S. Wallace, who visited it on
his way down, said that this was the
finest showing of galena ore that he
had seen in the upper country.
All the residents of Galena have
been up to see the new strike, and no
doubt is entertained that q genuine
bonanza has been discovered.
The Amador mine is looking splen.
didly, and ore is being extracted from
it daily. This will probably prove q
fine property.
The Josie claim, which is owned
by Messrs. Shaw and Florence, is a
very promising prospect.
The Occident-one of the best
mines on Senate hilL-never looked
better. About 60 days. work has been
done upon it this spring, and very
wide ledge of carbonate and galena
ore that assays .s high as 280 ounces
in silver to the ton exposed. This is
one of the highest grade mines up
there, and - soon Is local market
can be got for the ore, it will doubt.
less be quite productive.
Several mining men have arrived At
Galena recently, from New York and
other eastern cities, and the district il
evidently receiving considerable at
tention from monied men.

Amber.

some very interesting researches have
recently been made on the flora of the
amber-bearing formations of East Prussia
by MessrS. GOeppert and Menge. In
ancient times there must have been i'm this
part of Europe a group of c0nifers COM
prising specimens from almost all parts of
the world. Among the splendid speci-
mems of the California cOnifer2 We're the
redwood. the sugar pine, and the Douglas
spruce: and Ofthe examples ofthe Eastern
States were the bald cypress, red cedar,
thuya, and the PiRUS rigidd, from the
eastern coasts of Asia were the CHILEAN
incense cedar. the parasol fir the arbor
vita. the glvptOstrObus, and the thuyOp-
sis; and the Scotch fir, the spruce, and the
cypress Of Europe, and the caIlitrls OF
southern Africa. 1t appears that the de-
posts of amber for which the
Baltic Is noted are the product of
generations of these resin-bearing trees.
Ihe richest deposits are situate along 4
strip OF coast between Mcneil and Dant-
zlc. though the real home OF amber has
been supposed to lie in the bed of the
Baltic between BOrnhOlm and the main
land. Ii rests upon cretaceOus rocks. and
consists chiefly OF their debris. forming a
popular mixture known as blue earth.
which appears 10 exist throughout the
Province Of Samland at the depth of 50 to
100 feet. and to contain an almost in
eNhaustible supply of amber. Immense
quantities of amber are washed out to sea
from the coast or brought down by rivu-
let's and cast up again during the storms
or in certain winds. The actual yield by
ouarrving is 20O. 900 10 100000 pounds a
wear. or five times the quantity estimated
TO be cast up BY the waves on the strip of
coast above mentlOned.a

What Florida Girl Thinks About
Hugs ing.
JdcksORUille Letter.


We were very numerous party upon
the front steps and piazza of a residence
uptown the other evening, and some OF
the giddy things were having a pretty
jolly time of it. Amid chorus of pretty
laughs and screams from a f1utterino
brood upon the steps, a bass-vOiced
youngster drawled:
"LoOk at Miss Lena; she's having a
good time; Ned's got his arm around
her"
''Why, Jack, how dare YOU saw so,
It's no such thing" cried the half-merry.
half-indignant Lena.
If that is what you are doing" said an
elder and quite staid young lady. speak
ing from the piazza, ''yOu had better
come up here and sit, Miss Lena
''Ha, ha, hap screamed a dozen voices
''yOu want to get into her place; YOU
wouldn't mind little of that hupging

to put his arm around me-"
Not if you were engaged to him?"
"NO; not even if / were engaged

maiden OF 10, VINO sat III a rocker in the
very centre of the piazza, show is that /?
If you loved a man dearly and he loved
you, and you were engaged, wouldn't YOU
let him put his arm around you if he

Miss Eva spoke. Though her manner
was airy, her voice indicated that she was
speaking her genuine, downright senti-
ments:
"wen, I'll tell you,'' she said, sit l had
known the young man long time. and
he liked me very much, and l liked him.

How Diamonds are Cut


"There are three processes necessary to
be gone through with between the rough
stone and the diamond as you see it here, 3"
replied the Jeweler. First, a piece of
stone the required size must be cut off,
To do this we use circular saw made of
sheet-rOn and without teeth. 1t is worked
like a woOdworker's saw, and two men
stand at the treadle. one man holds the
stone to be cut tightly against the edge Of
the saw. while the other, using a small
leather dipped i'll oil, applies diamond dust
to the edge of the saw. The saw is made
of very ductile metal, and the parti-
Giles of diamond dust becoming firmly
set in it. soon wear through the
hardest stone. Now the piece Of
diamond passes to the cutting table. upon
which is strapped a wheel running paral-
lei to the top of the table. The stone is
fastened by cement to the end of a stick
six inches long. The lapidary takes the
stick IL his right hand and holds the stone
firmly against the wheel until one facet is
ground down. Diamond dust and water
are constantly applied to the wheel. The
table and upper facets Of the stone are cut
this way and the stone is then removed
from and readjusted to the stick before
the lapidary cuts the under sides, callets
and remaining facets. The stone is
manipulated the same i'm the third or
polishing process as in the cutting pro-
cess. The wheel. however, is composed
mainly Of tin, and tripoli and rotten stone
are used in the polishing process"
