ATweIve Pound Nugget.

There are two things, at least, that
rough men ordinarily respect, and
those are woman who is woman, and
a baby. In the early days of mining in
California, a true woman ruled as q
queen in miners camp, and if she was
the mother of an infant, she reigned as
an empress. A good story is told by the
California Eye, which is worth repeat
ing:
Nestled close by the saloon at Grand
Forks, in the very heart of the peaks of
the Sierras, was the home of Henry Mil
Ter, brother of Joaquin Miller. He
had very sensible woman for wife,
who bore him beautiful son.
When the child was three weeks old,
Mr.. Miller, in waggish way, told the
'tboys" he had "struck it rich" and had
at that very time a nugget at his house
that weighed twelve pounds. If any OF
them doubted his word, they could call
at the house any time and be convinced.
In few minutes delegation of min
ers filed out of the saloon and made a
straight line for Miller's home.
They were very courteously received
by Mrs. Miller who listened to the sto-
ry of their errand. and with twinkle
in her eyes, concluded to keep up the
joke. The speaker of the party began:
They tell us, Mrs. Miller, that your
husband has struck it rich"
Indeed, he has," replied Mrs. Mil
Ter.
"Has he pre-empted his claim?"
81 think he certainly has,"
"What price does he ask for his
miner"
"[ really don't think he would take a
cool million for it,"
SIS the specimen very finer"
Indeed, it is more precious than dia-
monds to me-"
"Let us see it will your"
Certainly" said Mrs. Miller, as she
advanced to the cradle and lifted out a
handsome, underground boy, and ex
hibited it to the astonished gaze of the
good-hearted but puzzled miners. They
took the joke very good-naturedly, and
laughed heartily, left the house without
a very ceremonious leave-taking. Mac
kay, the millionaire, was one of the
duped miners.

THE FIRST WOMAN
A Warm WelcDme in the Far
West

June 30 was day of Notification at
Carbonate, Col, being the advent of the
first wagon, the first woman, and the
first board from the mill. It
would have been interesting to the read
er to witness the electrifying effect on
the men in camp when word was
passed along the line that woman was
coming. Long before she was within a
mile of the camp knots of men were

ing, looking in the direction from
whence the wagon was to come. AS she
hove in sight, each one gathered around
his camp, as when an alarm had been
sounded in prairie-dog town. When
within a few yards OF the outside habi-
tatiOn the woman alighted and accom-
panied by her husband proceeded to
the county clerks quarters. But the
crowd which had gathered around the
Office for mail receded respectfully each
side of the entrance. AS she passed in,
Colonel Ferguson sernely doomed up,
and, sailing out among the boys, agita-

down the respective owners "digging

the colonel approached her, ard, fol-

CRIMEAN BATTLEFIELDS.
sebastopoI, Inkerman and Balaclava.
From an old Officers Letter in the British
Army and Navy Gazette.

Army and Navy Gazette.
Sebastopol is in ruins; but here and
there houses of better description are
cropping up. There is new admiralty
and large new church, the latter on
the top of the ridge near the old ruined
church of SIS. Peter and Paul. 1t is built
of Inkerman stone, and, with the new
church of Vladimar and the great men,
orial edifce to the memory of those who
fell in the siege, situated on the north
side of the harbor, form three very con-
spicuous white objects, seen from the
deck of the ship as one approac hes.
SeuastopoI. There is good fish market
at day-breab each day. and the city has
three good hotels. The newest, or
Grand qotel, is very comfortable. There
are plenty of horses for riding and car
riages for hire, so one disposed to re-
visit the fields of his earlier
battles can easily do so, and without
either much trouble or expense.
The trenches are easily dscerned by
those who haye any knowledge of them.
Bits of sole leather, heels of boots, but
tons, the tin inside of pouches are about
in all directions, and innumerable prices
of broken bottles. The monuments,
from long exposure to the weather, are
in many cases illegible. The sites OF
camps are now great meadows with fair
crops. The windmill has its roof decay
ed and gone. Our roads are our great
est and grandest monuments, There
they are, unused and useless, as the
Tartars never travel on macadamlzed
roads if they can go on grass. The bat
tie field of Inkerman is now forest OF
stunted trees. Not even the road up to
the redoubt is passable for a carriage.
The two gun battery cannot be seen I'M
til you are in it. The plains at Bala-
clava are now under cultivation, and are
covered with enormous fields of corn,
vineyards and orchards.
The town has some pleasant new
houses, recently built and good hotel.
It is recreation ground for those who
like to get away from the dust and dirt
of Sebastopol There has been a good
deal of property recovered from the
wrecks in the harbor-money, wine,
beer, etc.-and hopes are entertained
that some of the G600h0 in gold known
to be in the captains cabin of prince
may yet be recovered. | visited Alma
cattle and sheep avoid the deadly slopes.
The few tombs covering the remains OF
compatriots are ruinous and neglected.
The monument over the officers of the
23d is falling to pieces. This is to be
lamented as it is a beautiful memorial
of white marble and conspicuous for
many miles as you approach the battery
where 30 many fell to rise no more.

MARY.
From the PHILADELPHIA Times.

Can forget the happy night,
In that December weather,
When she and l, with footsteps light.
Walked home from church togetherf
My heart was rent 'twixt Joy and fear
And she was coy and chary,
For that which maidens love to hear
I'd whisper in her tiny ear,
While walking home with Mary.
All, that was in the long ago,
But somehow it seems nearer,
And those dear days We used to know
Seems always somehow, dearer,
When Mary fingers by my side,
As coy and sweetly chary
AS when, in that December tide,
/ wooed and won my little bride,
While walking home with Mary.
God bless the, Mary, for the peace
That cometh with this seeming,
And grant ne'er shall know surcease
From this delightful dreaming,
For in mine age YOU are to me,
Though all the world may vary,
The same sweet girl you used to be;
And to land my faith can see,
Pm walking home it'll Mary.
