One Of the most astonishing sights that
the eye Of mortal ever beheld was brought
into the Eagle Office yesterday (Friday)
morning by Sid Benton. 1t was two
pieces of gold bearing quartz--or really
quartz bearing gold-about 6x6 inches
and half an inch in thickness. The rock
was literally strcaked With gold and in
ffacturing it with hammer the metal
had actually to be twisted to separate the
parts. Fragments are still suspended
to the lrser pieces by wires Of gold SO
thick that they can only be separated BY
twisting or chiseling. Even the famous
Mother lode, and the rich specimen in
our possession from the New Comstock
which has been regarded as the best quartz
in the camp, will have to take seats fas in
the rear in comparison with the new find,
which astonishes all who gaze on it. 1t
Is literally specimen containing more
gold than quartz. Tie discovery was
made BY one G. T. Rounds, a tenderfoot,
on the afternoon Of Wednesday last, in
Trail creek, which is on the Beaver side
Of the divide, between Beaver and Prich.
ard creeks. The spec,mep was found in
the bed Of the creek and further prospect
ing higher up the creek revealed the
lode four foot ledge Of almost solid
mineral. The country rock is slate. On
the hanging wall is thin strata Of very
rich gold bearing quartz, backed by an
almost solid body Of gaiena resting on
the foot wall The locator is very reticent
about the exact spot of the discovery
until he has perfected his title on the
records, but from other parties VIC learn
that the ledge crosses Trail creek at no
great distance above the point where the
trail TO Osborne's leaves the creek and
commences the ascent Of the mountain.
The specimens were on exhibition all day
yesterday at Bentop's store and were
visited by great many men, who all ex-
pressed the opinion that it is the richest
quartz ever found in any camp,

4 Butter Idyl.

"Talk about creamery butter" said the grocer, "give me the old-fashioned' sweet home made -churned butter of the country, like this" md he laid a roll on the counter and proceeded to butter some crackers.
 "Eh2 what's thatP" inquired GUS. toner. Country butterP Let me taste ii"
 So more crackers were buttered, which he ate greedily.
 "How much of that butter have you gotP" he asked, wiping his chops with a smack of satisfaction.
 "Took the most of it home to my own family, Colonel M bought some and will be in after the rest. You see, it isn't easy to get June, clover-fed, cream butter at this time of year. You could not find pound in any other store in town," said the grocer, proudly.
 "Send me up the lot, said the GUS. toner; 'I don't want any creamery butterine after eating that. You can't fool me on genuine butter. was brought up on farm, was, and know good butter when I 500 iE
 And he paid for his goods and went out.
 "Where did you strike that butter?' asked man who was eating prunes and pickles near the stove.
 "Down at the factory where they make it" replied the grocer, calmly. And the beating of their own hearts was all the sound they heard.

Why the Milk was Bad.

The mystery which has hung round a milk condensing establishment in Orange county, N. T., has at last been cleared up Some months ago it became neces- sary to close tho factory and stop the manufacture of tho condensed article owing 10 the fact that notwithstanding all precautions tho milk was regularly returned by the dealers as worthless. In order to arrive at a solution of the diffi- culty the milk supplied by each farmer was placed in Q separate can and given to chemist for analysis. The latter has just concluded his investigation and reports that tho milk contained in sev. eral of the cans had been diluted with from five to six quarts of water, to which n mixture of borax and saltpetre had been added to conceal the adultera- ton. It is said that the evidence against the guilty parties is conclusive and that they will be prosecuted to the full ex. tent of the law.

The feds are green as they were then, and the big old rocks as gray, The land and sky are as fair to soc the sun has as mi ray; The drowsy kine rest on the hill, the sheep skip to and fro,

A Little Indiscreet.

A Deadwood correspondent says: An occurrence is now the talk of the town, and has given rise to a controversy and bickerings that many days will not heal. The editor of Deadwood daily took q brief vacation-for the benefit of his health, l presume-supplying the va cancy with Q sub recently from the east, who, although a good journalist, scarce ly understood the customs of the coun- try or the proprieties of the office, as evidenced by the appearance in the very first issue of the paper under the tenn. porary regime of a strong article against gamblers and gambling-one of the not least important 'industries'' of the city. It was neither vindictive nor personal article, nor one of particular local appli- cation but it was sufficient to raise the ire of the sporting fraternity, CT at least of a certain few, who prompt ly declared an intention of boycotting the office and of never forgiving the par ties responsible for the distasteful pub lication. On the following day a col umn communication appeared in @ rival sheet, over the signatures of prominent gamblers, anatEematizing the paper and proprietors that had given offense, and attempting to justify their "business' by comparing its character now with what it was in early days, when "the camp WAS infested with sharpers, and where all games were crooked ;" and de. claring that card playing was no worse than church-fair lotteries and kindred enterprises. This ortsighted illusion aroused the ill-will of numerous old-time sporting men, still residents of the city, and the clergy. The former are more indignant than the class first offended In fact, there Is breach in the ranks that will not speedily close, and rich de velopments are expected. A number o communications from the clergy have appeared, with more to follow. In short there is war all along the line, and al growing out of little indiscretion upor the part of generous brother of tho quill, who had kindly volunteered hi services for the occasion.

Domestic Recipes.

Two small tart apples are toothsome addition to the stuflng of 0 roast duck or goose.
 Apple fritters make nice entree to be served with roast duck.
 One of the wisest precautions to take when you are baking is to have the oven perfectly clean, and yet it is one that is often neglected, and many an otherwise faultless dish has been spoiled by the sitting of ashes from the upper grate in the oven.
 Nice rolls are mnde of two teacups of sweet milk, two eggs, three and @ half scant cups of flour, sifted, of course, a good pinch of salt. Bake in very hot gem pans, in a quick Oven.
 This is @ good dish: fry one pound of veal in hot lard, having first cut it in strips about two inches wide, and three or four long when nearly done, add a little butter and half pint of oysters chopped or cut in small pieces; season with pepper and salt serve hot with or without toast.
 If a goose that is to be roasted is al. lowed to lie in deep pan with cold water over it, in which tablespoonful of soda is dissolved, all the oil eau be scraped out of the skin, and the coarse flavor which is greatly objected to may be entirely removed. The goose must first be perfectly cleaned by rinsing with clear cold water.
 Gut cold meat as for hash; fill deep dish with boiled macaroni, pour over any gravy you may have, on the top of that place the meat, cover it with tomatoes, over which sprinkle breadcrumbs, with little butter; bake until nicely Drowned,

TIE LEPER GIRL.
The Experience of n HonoiuIu Maiden Bnn-
 iahed from Her Lover.

A Honolulu letter to the Chicago Ne,rs says: "Among the last to come on shore was O half-white girl, whose history I promised in the first paper. She was the child of a native woman, whose father was a chief of Kaula, by whaling barque. When tho whaling skipper, becoming rich, retired from business and settled in the islands nt Hilo, he brought his native wife to the home he had made, and set to work to mako Q Christian of her; you may readily fancy that his methods were crude, like his orthodoxy, and he in- dulged in rum and spiritual lessons in unequal proportions, punctuating his teachings in one md his indulgence in the other with wife-beatings to such an extent that the ,simple-minded woman thought it we'll to die. This she did, and Q jury, who were considering the re- sponsible share that tho captain had in her demise, found themselves deprived of any painful duty by the suicide of the captain by the sailor-like method of a rope. The girl lived for time under the charge of Presbyterian missionary, and became teacher in the school. She was, aud is yet, beautiful creature, and young English engineer, engaged at one of the big sugar plantations, fell in love with her. He was a fine young fel- low, and the match was approved by all who had the interests of the two at heart, when one day there appeared on the face of the girl a blazing red spot, which spread from the cheek to the ear, and then developed into tubercules over the neck-and they said she was leper. This happened in June. The girl de- clared she was not, but the memorable law forced her away to Honolulu. Mean while she declared she was not afflicted, and insisted on having her lover believe she was temporarily in Honolulu visiting and making some purchases, and so on, preparatory to the wedding set for Oc- tober. But there came time when she could no longer deceive herself and no one would underceive him. One day he came to Honolulu on business. It was the day appointed for the sailing of the lepers, and her case rapidly advancing, she, with the rest, was being led to the steamer when her lover saw her. One wild scream from her, and he had T nk sY,a rff Ag- rescue her. In Q few minutes he is dragged away by the police, and she, in fainting condition, is carried to the vessel. Ail night this girl lay upon hei breast sobbing, and now. looking as wild as night, she springs ashore and casts e look around. Then she sees the priest standing there, and falling at his feet, clasps his knees and cries for help.
 "You are good" she says. "I love him so. He is in prison. I shan't sec him again. Let him come to me. He will come. We love each other. Ihave given him everything, but he does mol love me less because nm @ leper."
 But the priest strove only to raise her. Then she called out "Oh, God if thi: be indeed Thy priest, show me that Thou art kind and move hIs heart"
 I turned nway, but saw the olc priests cheeks were wet with tears, ant that ha held in his arms the faintine form of one whose greatest grief was no alone in her leprosy.

A CURIos1rY.-When the late Pro- lessor Sophocles was a proctor in Hol- worthy Hall, Harvard, one night tipsy student, rolling up to bed, fell against his door and upon being interviewed was anything but respectful in his language. Next morning, awaking with remorseful stomach and an aching head, the offender felt it to be the part of discretion to go to the proctor and apologize. He had not proceeded far in his halting explana- tion, however, before the other inter- rupted him with the words: "Not your self, sir? You were drunk, sir drunk But you were so drunk as to be curi- osity, and therefore I shall not report VOL"

McswEENEY.
He is Accorded an Ovation
i'm New York.
Seven Thousand People Listen to
His Speech-Mrs. Parnell Also
Addresses the Audience-The
Irish FlOcking to Cleye-
lands Standard.

New YORK, Oct. 17.-Daniel McSweeney' s
reception tonight was magnificent ovation.
Seven thousand people were in the Academy
of Music, and as many more outside unable
to gain admission. All of the prominent
Irish Americans OF this city and Brooklyn
were there. The entire audience was com
posed OF Irish-Americans, and large num-
ber of the best class OF workingmen. The
enthusiasm was intense. McSweeney was
escorted from the hotel to the Academy by a
Cleveland Club composed of three hundred
men named The Sullivan Club" They car
ried q banner presented by Mrs. Thomas A.
Hendricks. The banner was elegantly made
OF green silk, with Cleveland and Hendricks
embroidered In gold thread. Beneath was an
Irish harp. Below that was the motto Justice
to Ireland" There was an intensely dramatic
scene, when the :banner was shown to the
audience as the gift of Mrs. Hendricks. The
entire audience stood cheering for over five
minutes amid the greatest enthusiasm.
MeSweeneys speech was loudly applauded.
He referred to California as his home.
Mrs. Parnell made strong and effective
address and was accorded a perfect ovation
by tho audience.
Catholic Church spoke, dcnounc-
ing the Republican statement to
the effect that Cleveland was an enemy
that Blaine was the real enemy of the Irish
Catholics ON his record as Know Nothing.
Such an enthusiastic Irish meeting was
never before held here. The Irishmen
duped BY Blaine are aocking, TO Grover
coming over also. II looks now as though
Blaine would get few Irish votes in this city
and Brooklyn.
