Gold BY the Chunk.

One Of the richest strikes known Il
the mining history Of California wal
made at the Neville, or Mammoth
mine, about three miles south Of THU
place, lately. A pocket Of quartz Of
almost unparalleled richness was found
less than one hundred feet from the
surface, in which was contained from
$4,000 to 100000 and being about
two tons in quantity. Much Of this
might justly DO termed huge chunks
Of gold, instead Of gold-bearing quartz,
Some Of the immense pieces Of almost
solid gold we're about as heavy as 4
man could easily lift from the ground
The largest piece was Of oval shape,
sixteen by twenty two inches, and six
OF seven inches thick. This gold is
almost black, and Of the same oharac,
ter as the former rich strikes found in
the mine, and which have heretofore
attracted the interest and attention OF
oil parts Of the United States. We
have no doubt that this is the richest
find Of gold Of this kind ever known in
the United States at one single time.

The Real Home.

The real home is in the country ;
and it is something more than dwell
ing; the field and trees around it are
part of it, and the views from it of
the landscape, and of distant noun
tains, perhaps, make it unlike any
other place in the world. The country
home with its fxity of surroundings,
has usually some measure of perman-
ence, and the social life formed there
is under the favorable conditions of
old family associations. Some have
the happy condition of living in the
home of their fathers, and are sur
rounded with objects of precious mem
Ory, daily mementoes Of parental af
fection and instruction.
The home which it makes is the
hest thing of farm life. There is a
necessity of permanence, and as there
is no sudden or great accumulation Of
wealth, or large increase, the family
is free from that discomfort which US
ually comes with sudden or great ac-
question: 1t is one of the compensa-
tions of their condition that the farm
er's family is in that fixity of sur
roundings" which favors their highest
culture. Country Gentleman.

The Gorilla.

The gorillas are the terror of Africa
In the gorilla country no lion will live.
They are man-haterS and kill them for
the love of it, leaving the body, never
eating it. When they spy negro
they come down from a tree. hit him
on the head with q club, which they
WELD with their hind claw, or carry
him up into tree, there to murder
him. Their strength is so great that
they will bend the barrel of a rifle.
Only one live one was ever brought to
England, and that soon died Several
have been shot, but they are tough
customers, and the natives dread them
more than any animal of the African
forests. The gorilla makes bed like
a hammock, and swings in the trees.
The gorilla is the sworn enemy of the
elephant, because each derives subSiSt-
ence from the same source. When he
sees an elephant pulling down and
wrenching off the branches of favor
ite tree, the gorilla steals among the
boughs, strikes the sensitive proboscis
of the elephant terrible blow with
his club, and drives off the clumsy and
startled giant, shrilly trumpeting his
pain and rage through the jungles of
the forest.

A FOrtY.FOur.TOn Statue.

Probably thu most colossal statue
yet ordered for the States has just
been finished in the plaster form by an
American sculptor at Florence, Mr..
Larkin G.. Mead. There are but two
in America that can ever be compared
with it, Greenough's IVA hington I"
and his group of "Civllization,"
which adorn the capitol in Washing
ton. Some idea of it may be obtained
by a short description. The subject is
the mississippi River" a large re-
cumbent statue not unlike the treat
ment to the "Nile" group in Rome.
The figure is represented leaning
against q cluster Of rocks whence
springs the source of the father OF
waters, while as a support to the other
arm is broken paddlewheel caught
in a snag, a not uncommon sight on
that mighty river. At the base are
represented in bas-relief the various
OBJ .ects characteristic of the stream
during its long course, stern-wheeler
and side-wheeler, sugar-cane and
crocodile and it's mineral wealth in the
representation of lead mine, while
negroes are seen loading and unloading
bales of cotton and tobacco and the
sugar cane crystals, too, are not for
gotten, while the giant right foot
rests on lelge of limestone, and in
the right hand stalks of that great prod
uct Of the Mississippi valley, Indian
corn, are held, one mature, the other
in the shock. A wreath composed of
tobacco and cotton crowns the head Of
the colossus, while a fishing net is
carelessly thrown across the base. The
plinth or pedestal is twelve feet in
length and the weight Of the marble
no less than forty-four tons. This is
to be presented to the city Of New
York by Mr.. Elliott F. Shepard, New
York lawyer, a son-in-law of W. IL.
Vanderbilt.-Roman NeaCS.
