The Pew From the Pulpit.
by Rev. Burdette. ]


The sleeper. He will be there. Per-
adventure he leaneth his chin upon a
cane, so that, when the moment of deep
and profound slumber cometh upon him,
his chin slippeth off and with the bang of
his head upon the pew in front of him
he is awaked. Or, the slumberer may
sit bolt upright and nod in time to his
deep and regular breathing. Only when
you cast your eyes upon him, the watch
full wife of his bosom stabs him with her
elbow, and he glareth upon the congre-
cation as one who should say: 'fHe that
sayeth l slept the same is liar and g.
villain and horse-thief." Or, if he be
so that he leaneth his head back until
the lid thereof falleth down between his
shoulders, and he playeth phantistic
tunes with his nose, insomuch that the
boys in the gallery make merry over the
same, then it is hazardous to awaken
this slumberer right suddenly, because
he dreameth of divers things and sayeth
to the tithing man, who shaketh him up,
Hey hill ha! yes, yes, all right! I'm
up" And thus is the congregation
much scandalized. But if he foldeth his
handkerchief over the back of the pew
in front, and boweth his head devoUtly
upon the same, even in that moment
when the text is pronounced, then will
slumber sweetly on until the time of the
benediction; and he will awaken re-
freshed and smiling, and he will extol
the sermon and magnify the preacher.
He is the old-timer from Sleepy-HolloW.

Nickel Mines in Nevada.

IFrom the Sacramento Record Union.J
AS the discovery of nickel on this coast
has opened new field of mining indus
try, and one which has every indication
of becoming equal to the Comstock in
richness, the Record concluded to gather
the facts. In this discovery, as in hun
dreds of other great finds, these mines
have been lying for years within plain
sight of stage road, where people con-
stantly travel, without even notice.
Many samples of the ore have been sent
to different assayers for copper, but none
ever took the trouble to analyze the rock
until it was sent to this city. In 1881
samples of this ore we're sent to Charles
Bell for copper assay. Upon examina-
ton 1t was found TO contain large per
cent. of nickel. More of the ore being
secured, it was analysed, proving the
first result. Upon this showing, VIII
liam 81. Bell was sent to discover the
locations, and succeeded in finding the
richest and most valuable nickel prop
erty ever discovered. The discovery
being kept as secret as possible, little
was known of its extent until recently.
The property is located in the
northern portion of Churchill,
County, Nevada. The property has
been well prospected, and the largest
bodies of this mineral exposed that have
ever been known. The nickel ores of
Pennsylvania average but two per cent.
They are reduced on the ground to ff-
teen per cent, and sent to Camden, n
J., where they are again reduced and
the metal extracted. The nickel found
in Oregon has also been opened, but to
what extent cannot be ascertained.
Thirty tons of the Nevada nickel were
sent to London, which graded 294 per
cent. These mines are the only ones
yet discovered that carry uniformly the
three distinct characters, viz: Arseniu-
ret, which is a grayish metallic red;
arseniate, beautiful apple green; and
arsenite, having a dark metallic lustre.

shown by the sign of tea-kettles of gold

are the patents of the highest grade of

as commissioners of Office. Umbrellas,
too, play leading part as emblems of
rank, and the triple umbrella is the
badge of royalty itself.

years younger than herself, to be sure
but the case was not parallel. Nobody
on earth would have imagined for a
moment that the doctor was in love with
me.
There is nothing to do at Capri but
make excursions on donkeys. Ny re-
turn to health was to be celebrated by
a donkey excursion, and the arrange
ments for IL finally brought out from
the doctor that after the day was over
he would betake himself to Naples. Up
to this time Miss Sutherland's imper-
durability had been almost equal to
that of her lover. This announcement
brought a feverish color to her cheeks.
and from the magnificent repose of her
usual manner she took to exhibiting
what in an elderly woman would have
been described as "fidgets."
The objective point of our excursion
was the villa of Iiberius that is in the
best repair. There is great choice of
them, each one more like mass of di-
lapidated brick cellars than the last. We
started on a sunny morning, on two of
the most obstinate and refractory DON
keys that Capri produces. The doctor
preferred to walk. which he did by my
side. Each donkey was conducted by a
peasant woman with immense earrings
and no shoes. Now to these creatures
had been given the directions by an
obliging landlady to take us through
the most beautiful portion OF the island
to the villa. The donkey woman of
Capri is an understandable mixture of
man, woman and beast. They are as
strong as men, as loquacious as women,
as stupid and obstinate as their own
donkeys. In this instance, however,
they did as they were bid.
