Better stay in Old virginia.
Bedford [Ya.l Sentinel.

beutOrd WAL oenunel,
We are indebted to Mr.. Joshua W.
Thomas for permission to make the
following extracts from a letter writ
ten by Mr. j. W. Oyler, who recently
went from here to California. Speak
ing of the best hotel in the place
Bodie City--he says:
THE waiting or sitting room is the
bar room, so you may know how en-
joy it. The table stands from $40
clock in the morning to 10 at night,
and one can eat as often and when he
likes at eight dollars per week. Fare
very good. This does not include
sleeping room, as almost every one has
a cabin. OF all the roughs you ever
saw we have them here. Oaths of the
blacklist kind, and low flung CONVEX
sation, seem to make up all you hear.
Nearly every house is a liquor or
gambling house Yesterday Sunday
we went to see the city. After dinner
went up to the mines, situated some
three or four hundred feet above town.
They know no Sunday. Work goes
on all the time Laborers' wages all
the way from three dollars to six dol.
lars per day, average about four dols
lars. So you may see whatit costs one
mine to employ 200 to 300 hands. The
mines have large buildings over them,
with rooms and apartments. They
have two engines in them, one for
raising ore and one for pumping out
the water. The shaft of one mine is
1900 feet deep. The engineer-the
nearest approach to a gentleman |
have seen here-showed US the engine
for raising ore. how it worked, ETC.,
and invited us to call again. The
pump is huge affair-the pump rod
is made Of pieces of timber twelve
inches square, fastened together to
reach the valve at the bottom of the
shaft, aud raises to the surface a COL
umn of water nine inches in diane
ter, which is continually running"
After describing the process of
raising, stamping and washing ores, he
says:
The town is situated in a canyon,
or hollow, as we Virginians call it, and
could be made a very pretty place
were it inhabited by civilized people.
Ny first impressions are that | do not
like it, but am told it is so with all
newcomers. The inhabitants number
about 2OOO Five years ago it was
estimated that 10000 people were
here, but many have left on account
OF so many mines stopping. Of
twenty five or thirty but FIVE are now
at work. Everything sells high here;
steak at thirty cents per pound, sweet
milk at one dollar per gallon; a COM
mon little woed pipe, worth in Lib
erty twenty. five cents, costs 81 so;
cheapest cigars ten cents, but so mean
few will use them, fifteen, twenty and
twenty-five cent ones mostly being
used; cheapest tobacco one dollar per
pouRd. washing twelve and a half
cents for each piece
Now, what advantage can g man
obtain by going to such a country as
thatY Say he gets four dollars per
day, he pays eight dollars per week
for board, his lodging costs something
and after other necessary expenses are
paid, will he have any more than he
would have here on a smaller salary,
to say nothing of the difference in q
social point Of view, which a man
rarely appreciates until he has had
experienced Read, ponder and be
wise, and stay in old Virginia.

Toronto lCanada) Globe.
A Toronto lawyer recently made
one of a party who were hunting in
the Muskoka district. The members
of the party had arranged that they
should each take turns at the cooking
The gentleman in question did moi
take kindly to this work, and when the
remainder Of the party returned from
the chase he was invariably asleep, moi
having prepared meal.
His companions became somewhat
disturbed at his laziness, and declared
that he should go out aud bring in
some game. This he proceeded very
gladly to do.
In few minutes, however, he was
seen at the top of his speed rushing
frantically toward tho camp with an
immense bear in hot pursuit. He
dashed into the shanty, the heavy
doors of which were at once barred
against the would be intruder, the
frightened hunter exclaiming, between
gasps in trying to catch his breath:
"Boys-herc's your fresh meat,-all
alive!'
After some dozen shots had been
fred from the roof of the shanty,
where the gallant hunters had man
aged to crawl through one Of the
numerous smoke holes, the bear was
killed and the men descended and
soon were enjoying hearty dinner Of
bear steaks.
1t appears that when the bear was
first seen by the hunter he had his back
turned toward that gentleman, who,
taking aim rather nerVously, managed,
if not to seriously wound the brute, to
to at least irritate him, and the "cross
examination" that followed was GER
tainly on the side Of the bear.

A ROMANTIC MARRIAGE,
In Which a Mute Plays an I'm.
pOrtant Part.
Chattanooga Times, 3.

Squire Giffe was called in yesterday
Afternoon to oficiate at G marriage
which has a decided touch of romance
about it. The contracting parties
were Mr.. VIM Sales, an operative at
the Alabama Great Southern shops
and Miss Lima Huddlestone. a charm
ing maiden of II, the daughter of
estimable parents. The young man
was injured in a railroad accident
several months ago and entirely Lost
the power ofspeech. Previous to that
time he had paid marked attention Ia
the young girl, but without the
approval OF her mother. 1t was de-
clded to overcome all objection BY a
secret marriage, and it was arranged
TOR Sunday afternoon. A fne oppor
tunity, however, presented itself YES
terday, and was seized. The young
lady appeared at the home of the
green and was closely followed by the
magistrate, who quickly made them
one. The groom, although unable to
speak, hears perfectly we'll and made
his responses by mods.
