Let us exercise care il $, letting threads
which will impart strength TO the fabric
and beautify the pattern, by embracing
every present opportunity for the accom-

which come to-day are gone forever to-
morrow. We mus spin Our
beautiful threads early, while hope
is young anu faith is strong,
while the eye Is bright and the hand is
cunning and the future opens up it's
rOseatc vistas b=fore US. A young girl
stands IN the doorway OF life and resOlv-

'sIka Blade of Grass Keeps Its Ain
Drap o. Dew"
was the subject of an admirable essay
by Miss Ollie Price. the graceful treat
ment of which was foreshadowed by the
poetic theme chosen by the writer The
leading thought of the production was
the value of the common blessings of
life, which are bestowed by the Great
Giyer upon men in all conditions of hu-
mainly, and the idea that there can be
no monopoly of the best things of life
but that they cheer and help the loWly
IS well as the favored sons and dSugh-
tiers of fortune was most skillfully
and successfully elaborated in
language that proved q fit-
ting garb for the grand thoughts
which it conveyed. The inherent re-
sources for happiness which every man
and woman holds within his or her
heart were fiitingly compared to the re-
freshing drops of dew, which descend,
after the heat and turmoil Of the day,
to revive The tender blade and paint it
with q brighter verdure, and the
thought was advanced that there are
no seasons of afllietion when sources of
consolation and healing are not availa
BILE if we will only seek them out, and
put ourselves in accord with the help
full influences which surround us. The
essay was repIete with beautiful ideas,
and the distinct and pleasing manner of
its delivery left nothing to be desired on
the paIt of the audience

was the title OF the essay read by Miss
Fannie Randolph, and it abounded in
expression and thought characteristic of
that young lady, as all who know her,
doubtless took note, and she is not IN
deserving of the highest terms of praise
that it is possible for US here to utter.
The subject was we'll chosen, as il is
well known that Miss Randolph is
person of remarkable originality. The
production, too, was read in the most
becoming style, the ease of manner and
eloquence of expression which charac-
terlzed its delivery being almost fault
less, and Indicating high orie. of elo-
cutionary and dramatic talent
The following is brief outline of the
essay, which is worthy of reproduction
here in full had we space for it:
We live in a universe Astounding in
variety; the planetary systems differ
one from the other in shape, size and
function; clouds are never alike: pile
on pile they lie, with rosy topped noun
tain peaks, or skip like silvery sheep
across the blue meadows of the sky, or
lie like golden Islands in silvery sea-"
The earth is not less varied than the
heavens; here mountains rear their
lofty peaks in silent majesty: there a
dark canon intervenes; beyond is the
dusky valley; here again is the bound
les prairie, clad in lowered beauty, and
studded with placid lakes, with here and
there river or rill threading its way
industrIously To the sea. Take glance
at the stOrehouse of nature: there VIC
| find no organic products of the earth
alike; the variety is almost infinite, even
to the naked eye, and the mi
croscope makes it vastly more Aye,
behold the diversity: no two things
that can be conceived of are exactly
alike. and man is not an exception ;
what diversity of races there is; what
a variety of languages; their habits of
life, too, how varied.
What gloomy, monotonous world
this would be did not all this variety ex-
list, and the blessing of this difference
to mankind is incalculabIe. Not only
IS this seen in their writings, public ad-
dresses, ETC., but in other methods of ex
pressing the sentiments of the mind
The lesson to be gained from all this
variety we see in and about us, is orig1-
nality, and appeals to man and woman
"Be Thyself;" there is no originality,
no complete manhood or womanheod
without tue sentiment expressed in
these two words; the worlds heroes in
art, poetry, philosophy and reform have
been thus because of their originality
because they were themselves; one
should not shrink from expressing his
or her own thoughts, nor hide behind
the sentiments of another; let US reflect
that each one Of us is thought of God
and the duty of our lives is to work oui
that thought.

TortIo-AIiIIcnniaI Notes,

In the matter of mining machinery, the exhibition was a complete failure, with the exception of an ingenious mining hoist and gravel washing machine, no display ot any machinery pertaining to mining was made,
 The managers appear to have devoted too much of their money in premiums for horse racing, &o., and thereby incurred the dis pleasure of many who do not believe in horseracins as the main attraction of a mineral and industrial exhibition. We saw some or the races while there and they were evidently cut and dried in some instances, and III the others horses won or lost accord ing to tho amount invested on them in pools by innocent outsiders. So many con- plaints wern finally made that the manage, ment declared all future premiums for races of.
 The display of coal made by the Atlantic & Pacific railroad and others was the great attraction of the nam building and was we'll worthy of the attention bestowed upon it.

Mining Matters.

Ed. Burke of Stockton is working on the .Oaster at the mill.
 John o'Brien has quit mining for time and gone to work in the Keystone mill. where he has charge of the roaster.
 Jack Ryan has fogce of men at work on tho Dean mine at Wallapai Mountain and i' opening up an immense body of pay ore.
 Wm. FreebOrn will expend some of his spare time and muscle on his Stockton 'laims instead of going back to Cedar dis .rict.
 W.J. Belden and Robert D'Yhr ara work, ing on the Potsdam and have good streak pf ore in sigh
 Canty and Jackman have been working on the Southern Belle at Cerbat.

 Rees NJ. Jones IS at work on the extension of the Champion mine. owned by him. He has fine body of lead ore in sight.
 John Barry has two men at work on his claims at WsIIspai Mountain.

 itors were bled by the management VI
 mention that they had to pay royalty O
 20 to 30 per cent on every article sold il
 the exhibition building. Hence many per sons who would. have spent good deal ot money in fitting handsome stalls for the display of their wares refused to have any thing to do with the exhibition.
 Brown and Manzanares of Las Vegas and Socorra make fine exhibit of wool, not only from New Mexico but from all the wool producing districts in the world. The exhibit reflects great credit on them.
 The display of gold and silver filigree iewelry made by Santa Fe and Albuquerqhe lady visitors, and helped wonderfully in filling up the building.
 F, W. Smith of the New Mexico Novelty Wori5s has neat showcase filled Ni ith seals, dies, stamps, etc. all specimens of his own handiwork.
 The Fisher brewing company of Santa F6 makes good exhibit;
 At present advices the exhibition to all intents and purposes, is over. The Indians, who were the greatest attraction to eastern visitors, have become tired and disgusted l md are leaving for thelr homes. Frank l Cushing and his band of Zunis left last | Eeek and have been followed by old San | Juan and his. band of Mescalero Apaches.
 The management are endeavoring. how. 'ver, to prolong it, and will probably run it fifteen days longer and divide the gate re- elpts with the Atchisson & Topeka railroad Il consideration of a reduction in fares rom Kansas City and other points.

to plans suggested, but no recommendation
as to means or schemes by which postal
telegraphy may be accomplished. The OBJ
jectiens raised are not, as we view them,
all well taken. That which expresses SO
grave fear of the danger of public pat.
ronage and misuse of lines by the dominant
party has been, we think, answered al
ready. The application of civil service
system that shall make the lines independ-
emit of political parties would protect them
from misuse. Nevertheless, we are free to
admit that even that system might be at
the mercy of partisan majority in Con-
gress But this objection cannot apply to
the plan to permit company chartered by
the Government to construct lines over
which the Postal Department may transmit
messages at a uniform charge. The General
admits that such plan would greatly les
sen rates, but raises the rather meager OBJ.
lection that the Government employees
would still have to deliver and receive the
kilograms, and this would be new policy
be hesitates to recommend. We fail to see
how the delivery and receipt of messages
to be sent over contract lines can in any
way be more dangerous than the receipt
and delivery of messages by private cor
porations as now, which, if they chose to
be dishonest, have all the means at com.
mand, without the responsibility that at
taches to the Government employee.
