A friend in San Francisco furnishes
us the main result of the Star cleo
ton, which took place in San Fran
cisco on the 9th ult. No note OF the
affair was made i'm the Bay mining
papers. Perhaps they wanted the
proceeding to pass unnOticed, as men
generally do when their actions are not
above reproach. The old Board was
reelected, and 1t is presumed the old
officers also. Rnmor here has it that
l.. NJ. Foulke was appointed Superin-
tendent, but this is mere conjecture.

fine Cold specimens.

Fred. Iotchett showed us a few
days ago two beautiful specimens of
gold quartz, taken from his mine in
Granite District, Just aeross the range
from Bnrgett's. They were literally
lousy with gold, and aton OF such ore
would be sufficient to make Il man
rich. Mr.. Gotehelt has for several
Neirs worked this claim off and on.
He has "A small two-stamp mill in Tel
egraph Canon. When he gets mt a
little ore he brushes it himself, and
thus manages To make both ends meet.
His prospects just now are OF the
most encouraging nature, and we
hope he will 500 reap tho reward of
his faith and perseverance,.

Southern Forests.

A Southern States paper gives some
facts which show that those who pirate
continually about the imminent exhaus-
ton of forests leave O most important
forest country out of account. The
States of Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and
West Virginia contain. in the order
named IS to 66 per cent. of forest land,
whereas Maine and Michigan, which
now produce one-haf of the lumber
used, contain only At and 10 per cent.
of forest land. North Carolina, Louisi-
ana and Mississippi have an even great
er extent of forest land still untouched
than the States just named. Neither is
the world generally aware of the good
quality O; the timber in the South. All
the trouble is that, owing to the absence
of snow, the wood is not won so cheaply
as in the North. But, with railways
penetrating The country in all direc-
tions, this state of affairs will soon be
altered, and it is useless not to recognize
the facts.

How Animals Help Each Other.

Darwin in his Descent of Man" has
many kind things to say about animals.
Social animals, he tells us, perform
many little services for each other.
Horses nibble and COWS lick each other.
Monkeys pick from each other thorns
and burrs and parasites. Wolves and
seme other beasts of prey hunt in
packs, and aid each other in attacking
their victims. Pelicans fish in concert.
The Hamadryas balloons turn over
stones to find insects, etc. and, when
! they come to large one, as many as
can stand round turn it over together
and share the booty. Social animals
mutually defend each other. Brehm
encountered In Abyssinia a troop of
balloons which were crossing a valley;
they were attacked by the dogs, but the
old males Immediately hurried down
from the rocks, and, with mouths wide
ly opened, roared so fearfully that the
dogs precipitately retreated. They were
again encouraged to the attack; but by
this time all the balloons had re-as-
cended the heights, excepting a young
one about six months old, which, loudly
calling for aid, climbed on block of
rock and was surrounded. One of the
largest males, true hero, came down
again from the mountain, slowly went
to the young one, coaxed him, and tri-
umphantly led him away, the dogs be-
ing too much astonished to make an
| attack. On another occasion an eagle
seized a young monkey, which, by cling
ing to a branch, was not ct once carried
off. It cried loudly for assistance; up
or which the other members of the
troop, with much uproar, rushed to the
rescue, surrounded the eagle, and
pulled out so many feathers that he no
longer thought CT his prey, but only
how to escape.

Durability Of Brick,

1t is noticeable feature of the New
York architecture of the day that for
the preferred material the builders of
that city are returning to the brick of
which their Dutch ancestors made their
homes. Iron rusts and scales, and stone
scales and wears away in that severe
climate; brick alone withstands the
gnawing tooth of time, and some of the
Oldest houses in the city are still the
best. At last there seems to be some
hope of national architecture in Amer
lea, Judging from the new buildings
which are going up, the first step to-
ward which is taken in building houses
for use and wear, instead Of for show.
These brick houses, finished on the ex-
terror with stone and terra Gotta, and in
the interior in natural woods, have a
genuineness that makes one feel quite
as much at home as under a tree. It is
luxury for Americans to build house
for the way they are to live in it, and
not what the carpenters and neighbors
think of it. Brick is, of course, partic-
ularly adapted to some climates, and if
a severe one it is almost necessary to
use it. In mild climates the builder
can please his fancy with stone or wood
or iron; but if he have the good of pos
terity in view, and would like to erect a
home and monument simultaneously. he
can keep his work before the eyes of
men longest in the shape of brick. Au-
gustus imposed fraud upon subsequent
humanity when he made that famous
declaration of finding Rome a city of
brick and leaving it a city of marble.
He did nothing of the sort, and there
was no necessity of putting on airs
about it if he had. The Roman brick,
of which many edifces, and some of the
finest even in the time of the Emperors,
were built, was irregular in size, though
usually quite thin, and of remarkable
density. 1t was rather more like our
terra-cotta, both in color and quality.
The square brick of Ninevah, about the
size of those with which we of the pres
ent day lay hearths. bears witness to the
power of man to make with fire and clay
substance which shall outwear stone.

The Lady, the Dog and the Drummer.

After securing check for baggage,
the lady and her dog entered the ladies'
coach, where the former took a seat,
while the latter crouched down at her
feet. Soon after she had assumed a
peaceful attitute the train hand entered
the coach, and, noticing the dog, started
to drive it out. The old lady objected,
but the train hand would not yield, al
though he saw the dogs mistress in
tears. A commercial tourist, who had
been silent witness to the entire con-
Tersation, stepped up and asked the
train hand to let the dog remain until
he could return. The train hand com
piled, and the tourist left the coach in a
hurry. He returned, bearing a cheap
valise in his hand, which he opened.
After cutting large hole in the side,
he placed the dog in the valise, and,
pulling his head through the hole,
closed the valise. With a smile he de-
posted the valise on the seat by the
old lady, and quietly laughed when the
train hand came back to kick the dog
out.-Atld4ltG Constitution.

One Arm and One Leg.

One ofthe most remarkable men in
Camden is one-legged and one-armed
colored man named James Weeks. He
is strong, healthy man CT about forty
years of age, and evidently enjoys Life
as much as his more fortunate and phys
ically supplied brethren. The strange
part of the thing is that, although both
his left leg and his left arm are gone
entirely-they having been taken out at
the sockets-he is able to drive a cart.
loading the vehicle as quickly and as
well as they who have all their limbs,
with sand or brick, and doing fully as
much work as any cart driver in the
city. When asked how he came to lose
his limbs, he showed his worries. as a
broad grin spread over his rather gen
erous mouth, and said: ode war took

at Port Hudson. 1 laid dere for hour

He draws pension of $18 mon
from the Government, and says he has
no trouble making a living and a little
extra by driving a cart. Twice each
year since the close of the war, Jim
goes to Philadelphia to see Prof.
Gross, who exhibits him to the stu
dents at the Jefferson Medical College
as ''Old Ironsides" That world-re-
nowned surgeon says that it is one of
the most remarkable cases that has ever
come to his knowledge, and he does not
believe that there is one man In mill
ion who could have gone through what
he has and still live. One-third of his
body was taken from him and the whole
course Of the circulation of the blood
changed. ''Jim" gets around with ease
on his crutch and the remaining leg, it
mattering very little whether he uses it
under his right arm or leaning against
his left side, where the arm-socket only

Gentlemen are Rare,

Thackeray, in his original and
piquant way, very truly says: "Gen-
tleman is rarer thing than some of us
think for. Which of US can point out
many such in this circle men whose
aims are generous, whose truth is con-
slant and elevated, who can look the
world honestly and truly in the face

and small? All know a hundred whose
coats are well made, and score who
have excellent manners, but of gentle
men, how many? Let US each take a

AMERICAN FABLES.
Which Esop Helped to Write.


A Peasant who was driving cart
along a country road had the misfor-
tune to get STALLED" in mud-hole. In
tins emergency he slammed down his
hat, cracked his heels together and
loudly calling for Hercules to aid him.
Old Here. leisurely appeared from the
nearest corn-feld, and when he saw
what the row was he bit off a piece of
piHg and observed:
Put your shoulder to the wheel and
boost her out. The gods help those
who help themselves"
I'll see you in Texas frst!" replied
the Peasant, and he sat down to wait
for the mud to dry up. While waiting
for this event he made 81 on dog
trade, put up three lightning rods, sold
washing machine for Sc and got his
board for nothing. At the end of four
days his old mule walked off with the
cart without any boosting, and the
Peasant figured that he was about six
teen dollars ahead Of that community.
Moral: Don't break your back for
Hercules or any other old moss-back.
THE DOG IN THE MANGER.
A Dog lay in a manger and when the
OK came to eat his supper, the canine
snarled and snapped and tried to rush
him out
Are you going to eat that hay %
asked the Ok.
''No."
And you won't you let me eat it?"
NO"
Bet my last dollar I do!' exclaimed
the Ok, and he gave the Dog horn
which sent him up among the rafters.
Moral: If your neighbors don't like
the way you pound your old piano let
'em git.
THE BOY AND THE WOLF.
A Shepherd Boy, who tended flock
of sheep near q village, cried "wolf!
one day, and all the old moss-backs
rushed out with pitchforks and pokers.
to find that the dreaded beast was all
in the boys eye. For three or four sue
cessive times the lad played this trick
on the villagers, and they finally came
to the conclusion that he was liar who
deserved to be made an Indian agent.
One day the Wolf really came, but
when the boy mounted the fence and
gave the alarm the villagers refused to
move off their nail-kegs at the corner
store, saying to each other:
civilian Henry can't work that
string On us again"
As no one responded to the call the
call the Wolf set out to devour the
flock, but before he had secured taste
of mutton the Boy laid him out with a
bullet from his little toy pistol.
Moral: If you feel like lying don't LET
whole village discourage you. It of
