Adventures Of Two California
Boys.

PHILADELPHIA, March 24.--The
Times prints a long story of the
adventures of two boys who arrived
at West Philadelphia depot yester-
day from California. Their singular
appearance as they trotted across
Chestnut street towards a cheap res
taurant attracted attention. one is
about 16 years old, and wore a visor
less cap, a blue shirt many sizes too
large and q pair of army breeches,
which under the hosting power of a
single suspender sat bras. The other,
about IA years old, had on a sort of
overall or ulster, that in its original
condition was all army blanket.
While eating their pork and beans.
they related their adventures between
bites. "There was ten of us started
from the bay, but except me and
Jimmy, the rest OF US Was Spilled out
on the way from Reno to Chicago.
His name is Jim Shaw; mine is Bob
Elliot. We started for New York.
Business is kind o. played out in
Frisco. Everybody was going East.
and on Kearney and Montgomery
and California streets it was like
Sunday all the time. Jim and me
used to have blackening at a saloon
with BARRIERS chairs in it. Business
fell off 50 we could hardly buy black
ening. Then we thought it time to
shake California. Ten of us started.
There was not eve dollars in the
crowd. It was a picnic agoing up to
Sacramento. We did the boat for
that and travelled on our gall.
They didn't get mashed on us in Sac
ramentO, and after we had sashayed
around for an hour the chief of police
gave US five hours to get out of town.
We took the first freight train east.
Me and Jimmy got on the bumpers,
and some of the fellows lung on the
brake beams under the cars. When
they got into Reno they looked like
a Custer massacre, the sand and
gravel had cut up their faces so.
Four of them had enough, and they
went up to Virginia City; four more
dropped out at Winnemucca and
started back. A young Teller that
was travelling emf rant east gave
us a point. The emigrants are hauled
by the freight trains, and they change
conductors about every hundred
miles, at the end of the freight divi-
sions. To beat them all you have
got to do is to get ahead of the train
or at a water station beyond the
beginning Of the division.
Then the snap is to hop on the train,
borrow a conductors check from an
emigrant, stick it in your hat and
ride to the end of the division. II
you cannot borrow one steal it, and
repeat as often as you strike a new
conductor, and you will yet there, eh,
jimmy" II should SMILE" replied
Jimmy, as he kicked back his chair
aud arose from the table; ''that's the
way we did it the plum way
through to Chicago" as the pair
walked toward the door. "Then we
watered cattle for drovers on the
train to Pittsburg, and the cattle
men fixed it for us to Philadelphia
and we will strike New York in a
day or two and then we will take in
Wall street and hunt up our friend
Jim Keene. Ia, ia, so long, young
fellow"

ported last week in the new air shaft
holds out in good shape, both as to
size and grade.
THE ALICE PROPERTIES.
At the Alice about twenty tons per
| day are hoisted from the recent strike
in the 100 south. The ore is free
milling and averages so ounces. The
700 Wine has reached q depth Of GO
feet and shows a continuous ore body
assaying As ounces.
THE MAGMA CHARrA
Owing to the breaking of a spur
wheel no ore was hoisted yesterday.
but it was expected temporary repairs
could be made SO as to resume opera
tons by this morning. The slopes
of the 200, 800 and 400 foot levels are
looking remarkably well and produc-
ing 60 tons per day, upon which the
6O-stamp mill is running. Both
mills are running with their accus-
TONED regularity, and judging by the
large amount of ore in the ore houses
and in sight, any cessation of the
average output attained since the
beginning of the year may be regard
ed as neither in the ear or distant
future wen a remote possibility.
THE SHONBAR.
A force of men are now running
the 250-foot east drift, which is now
in ten feet from the shaft and show
ing good ore. It is expected this drift
will tap the rich ore shoots developed
above in the 1s5, at a point 20 or 30
feet further east. The slopes of the
1856 east are producing their regular
output of high grade.
THE VULCAN.
Much speculation is rife regarding
the future operations of this mine.
Judgements amounting to nearly
$4,000 were entered up against the
Company last week and it was u
mored that the judgement creditors
had formed a combination for the
purpose of working the mine.
These rumors failed to materialize in
to anything tangible under the
Investigation instituted by our re-
porter, but it is safe to say that the
property has been greatly enhacned
in value by recent developments in
the Shonbar, which joins on the east,
and that the existence OF lodges
which can be reached with compare
lively slight expense is now a known
fact, and that the value of these
lodges will no doubt prove sufficient
inducement to parties interested to
work the mine on its merits.

Sport Among the Wrostlers.

One of the hardest contested wrest-
ling matches which has ever taken
place in this city occurred at the Mil
waukee Beer Hall last night, between
Edwin Mathews of Centerville, and
Alfred Johns of Butte, for $50 a side.
The wrestle was catch-as-catch-can,
or Cornish style, and the struggle
lasted two hours and a quarter, dur
ing which time Johns turned Math-
ews forty-six times and threw him
twice. Mathews turned rJohns
thirty-eight times and threw him
once. Johns was declared winner of
the match and money. At the close
of the contest Mathews challenged
Johns to fight with hard gloves for
$50. Johns replied, II will consider
and let you know tomorrow"

EASTER DAY.
The SYMBOLISM of Easter Eggs
Or19in Of the Custom
How to Color Them.

Easter day occurs to-day, it being
the first Sunday after the full moon
following the vernal equinox.
March 25th is nearly the earliest day
in the month upon which Easter can
occur. In the cycles of time, about
200 years from now the festival will
occur on March 22d, which is the
very earliest date upon which it can
fall. Symbolizing the close of lent,
am the laying aside of the sack-cloth
and ashes for the pleasures of social
enjoyment, and the forty days OF
fasting and prayer, for tae luxuries
of the table and thanksgivings for
the abundant gifts of a bountiful
creator, the day has always been vel
coined as one Of the joyous land
marks in the passage of time.
The association of eggs with the eel
ebration of Easter is not of modern
origin. The exchanged eggs between
friends as a token of love or friend
ship dates back almost to the flood,
for it is a symbol of the ark as we'll
as OF the resurrection. The custom is
almost universal, and is not confined
to any nationality or religious creed.
The Jews placed eggs upon their
passover tables, the Druids used them
in their ceremonies, and the Persians
gave them as New Years gifts. A
Russian would greet you this morn
ing with "Christ has risen !" and Of
fer you an Easter-egg. In the far
East a Mohammedjan would do the
same, and in every civilized land the
egg is connected in some manner
with the celebration of Easter. In
America, Easter cards, embelished
with photographic eggs, or deliberately
ornamented confectioners' eggs of
enormous size are presented as tokens
of friendship. Among the children,
fancy colored eggs are a source of
great enjoyment, and the delight of
the proverbial small boy is to peek
eggs" with other boys, in which
operation the egg with the
thinest shell will become a total
wreck, for the insuring of which re-
suit the little rascals will not hesitate
to ring in a deceptively colored por-
celain egg.
Agnes Carr, in the american Ag-
sicultWist for March, gives a receipt
for dyeing Easter eggs, as follows:
ITO dye eggs, put onion skins in the
water in which they are boiled, and
it will make them a rich yellow; or,
if left longer in the solution, a rich
brown. Logwood or violet ink gives
a royal purple; Cochineal, pink and
crimson; and many pieces of chintz
OF bright ribbons that fade easily, if
sewed tightly round the eggs, will
color them nicely in figures, stripes or
dots. Another way is to dip the egg
into hot water, and then write a name
or motto on the shell with tallow. II
is then boiled in the solution of dye
wood, when the inscription will APP
pear in the white upon a colored
ground. Those who are skillfui with
pencil and paint-brush can present
their friends with really exquisite
souvenirs by ornamenting eggs with
flowers or butterflies, or appropriate
texts of scripture. For these painted
eggs, it is better to puncture a tiny
hole with a pin in each side, and
blow out the inside, leaving a clear
shell, than to boil them; and the
apertures can be concealed by stars of
silver or gilt paper

The Armagh Assassins-Oiher
Matters.

LONDON, March 24.-The Times
points out that the jury which yes
terday, at Belfast, rendered a verdict
of guilty upon Nugent and twelve
other members Of the Armagh Assas-
sination Society, who are charged
with conspiracy and murder, accept
ed as authentic the diary kept by
the plotters, in which they recorded
that a man had sworn, at the,request
Of the Land League, to kill a land
lord namea Brooke.
The Times says the evidence on
the part of the government adduced
at the trial certainly lends force that
the governments alleged representa-
tives at Washington will regard as
hostile the speeches and writings of
Irish Americans.

A Shut Down and Start Up,

TRENTON, March ga few weeks
ago the puddlers in Cooper, Hewett
& Co.'s rolling mill, had submitted
to them the alternative reduction Of
wages from 81 a ton to $3.50, or a
temporary shut down of the mill.
The latter alternative was accepted.
One thousand men were thrown out.
Early this week the rail department
again opened, and this gave employ
ment to between two and three hum
dred. Yesterday Superintendent
Stokes called the puddlcrs together
and after a free interchange of views
they agree to accept a compromise
and resume work at $50 a ton. Fur
naces will be lighted up Monday, and
the whole mill will be again in opera
ton. Monday next a reduction Of
ten per cent. will be made in the
wages of rolling employees at the
Trenton works. One hundred and
fifty men are employed.
