Gold by the Chunk.

One OF the richest strikes known to the
mining history of California was made at
the Neville. or Mammoth mine, about three
miles south of this 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 3d.
600 to 100000 and being about two tons III
quantity Much of this might justly be
termed huge chunks of gold, instead of gold
bearing quart. Some of the immense pieces
OF almost solid gold were about as heavy as a
man could easily lift from the ground. The
largest piece was of oval shape, sixteen by
twenty two inches, and six or seven inches
thick. This gold is almost black, and OF the
same character as the former rich strikes
found in the mine, and which have hereto
fore attracted the interest and attention Of
nll parts Of tho 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.

4. =. Currency Paper.

The paper on which United States cur
rency is printed is manufactured AT Dalton,
Mass. Eighteen or twenty treasury girls,
who earn IS day, count tine sheets, examin-
ing each one closely and rejecting all imfer-
feet ones An automatic register at the end
OF the machine registers every sheet as It Is
cut off and laid down. The register man
takes them away IN even hundreds. and they
are Immediately counted in the drying room
In all the various processes of finishing every
sheet is counted and they are again counted
on their receipt at the treasury department
in Washington. The great protection of the
government against counterfeiting lies in the
rsaper here made The distinctive feature is
the introduction Of silk threads into the body
cf the paper while it is in the process of
manufacture. They are introduced while
the paper is in the pulp, and are carried
along with IL to the end of the machine,
where il is delivered a. actual paper This
has been more fatal than anything else 10 the
professional counterfeaters.

A DRIVE.
IAN the Year Round. |

All the Year Round
Through the thick air the tall majestic trees
Loomed like gaunt ghosts; the leafess
hedges showed
A faint dim line; there was no breath of
breeze,
No heck Of sunshine on the long straight
road;
While with steady, muffled, rhythmic
beat,
Fell the dull echo of the horses feet.
And all the while through the long leagues,
know
One whom love seemed sitting at my side,
l thought heard his voice in accents low,
thought he watched my lips as | replied;
Nor feared nor marveled as he swept along.
His hand clasped mine !. Love Tapped us, calm
and strong,
Till with a start and clash of wheels we
stopped;
The red light glimmered from the open
door;
Over my Paradise the dark veil dropped,
And all the world was as it was before,
Ere through the hush Of the November
weather,
We two had that sweet mystic drive together.

1t is related of Thaddens Stevens that
shortly after his removal to Lancaster
in 1912 he heard of t.e sad prostration
pf nm old friend in York, a lawyer, who,
pressed by hard necessity, had diverted
to his own use $500 due to a certain
widow client, hoping soon to regain his
financial footing and repay her. But
"unmerciful disaster, followed fast and
followed faster" until the poor fellows
! mental distress was actually killing
him. Mr.. Stevens hunted up the
client, paid her from his own
pocket the $500, obtained her re-
ceipt, and went to see his friend.
''Halloa! old fellow, he exclaimed, on
entering his Office, "you must wake up.
Don't be down-hearted. Say, don't you
suppose you've really gone and paid
that woman and then forgot all about
it?' A despairing shake of the bowed
head was the only reply. well, be-
lieve you did, and Pm going to look
through your papers and see if can't
find the receipt" Then he proceeded
to ransack some pigeon-holes, and a
moment later exclaimed: We'll, if you're
not the biggest fool ever heard of!
Look here, old man. What is this 2"
So saying he showed the receipt to his
astonished friend, who thereupon recov-
cred his spirits, and, happily, his BUSH
ness fortunes also. Afterward he repaid
Mr.. Stevens, and the latter never was
able to find out how his generosity had
been detected.

UNDER lNSANITY'S SHADOW.
a Giant Intellect Going Mad---lnci'
dents In Dean Swift's Later Life.

st Louis Republican,
Swift seems to have anticipated the
end from the beginning. In other
words, when the giddiness and deaf
ness became chronic, he was convinced
that the mental decay and destruction
were the inevitable consequences. The
shadow of this most awful of calami-
ties was always over him, deepening
and darkening rs years rolled on. Re-
memberinS this we eau understand,
and ought to forgive, much that would
otherwise be ineyplicab!e and unpar-
donable. The fierce wrath which,
when fully roUsed, neither feared
God nor regarded man the foul sat
ire of tho Yahoos, Struldbrugs, and
Houyhnhums. the worse than foul
satire of the Legion Club, place of
the Damned" and the Ladies' Dress
ing Room"-what are these but the
desperation OF mighty genius
facing an memorable doom, the wild
and conscienceless struggles OF giant
going mad
His writings in the grip of remorse-
, less fate are pitiful to behold. Surely
there never was such a tragedy as his.
Il am he says, worn ont with years
and sickness and rage against all public
proceedings" When | die my flesh
and bones are to be carried to Holy
head, for | will not lie in country of
slaves" 1T is time for mo to have
/ demo with the world, and not die here
in a rage, like n poisoned rat in hole"
Il am surrounded by slaves, knaves
and fools, III "A country which Is no bet
ter than dirty dog hole. a prison, but
good enough to die in" He literally
cursed the day and the hour he was
born; lie begged and PRAYED for death
as men have begged and prayed for
life; and his parting salutation to the
few friends he permitted to visit him
was always: We'll, God bless YOU,
goodnight to you, but l hope shall
never see YOU again.
Now and then after the splendid in
1 tcllect, (which has stirred the laughter
and the rage of millions and left memo
rails that will perish only with the
English language" had fallen into ruin,
there were CLEANS of its original bright
ness. raking n walk one day with his
physician he noticed a new building he
| had not seen before, and asked what it
was. That. Mr.. Dean, il the magazine
/ for arms and powder for the security of
the city OF Dublin "Oh, OH said
Swift, pulling ont his pocket-book, let
me take an item of this, it is worth re-
marking. My tablets, as Hamlet says,
my tablets; memory, put down that,
which led to the following epigram, sup
posed to be the last verse lie ever
wrote:
Behold proof of sense,
Here Irish wit is seer,
When nothng's loft that's worth defense
We build a magazine"

LABOR AND PAIN.
REV. Samuel W. Dufliold. !

Labor is living, and pain is living;
And labor and pain 80 hand in hand,
And peer il the windows across the land;
And So wherever love is giving
labor for pain, or pain for labor,
Each to the other is nearly ncighbor.
Yea, these are the millstones of the heart
Upper ana neither, but never apart;
And the grist Of the grinded grain goes
down
In flaky showers from the kernals brown.
And labor is living, and pain is living;
And love goes onward, striving and giving;
And the wheels go round. and the sheaves
arc bound,
And the grist of the mill is grimly ground;
But tierefrom cometh, when all is said,
The hope of the heart and the worlds white
bread

Although nearly every one knows 81
Godcy's Lady's Book, it Is not generally
known that il is the oldest monlhly publi-
cation in America. Established in 1880, it
