NOT DEAD, But SLEEPING.-The Orc
Vile Register says: The business men and
| landowners of Butte are only asleep-they
are not dead. After time, when other
| parts Of the Sacramento valley are alive
with the hum and hustle of progress and
development, rich, lazy, sleepy old Butte
will wake up and find herself as far in the
rear of Suffer- Colusa, Tehama and other
valley counties, as a pillow horse spawned
in one leg and wind-galled in the other
would be in a race with Maud S. Our
people lack nerve, grit and push. They
have fallen into Rip Van Wrinkle sleep,
from which they will awaken some day to
see Butte as far behind other sections OF
| the State as a crooked stick is behind a
Stockton gang pillow. With every advan-
| tage and attraction for settlers, we are a set
| of lazy do-nothings. The old delusion of
mining hangs ever us, and, like a thick
| fog, prevents us from seeing the grand
| agricultural and horticultural future ahead
of us. The toot of Gabriels trumpet would
sound like a pop-gun in the ears Of our
landowners and business men, and we
doubt if an earthquake would fairly awaken
them.

PATIENCE WITH LOVE.

They are such tiny feet:
They have gone such a little way to meet
The years which are required to break
Their steps to eyenness and make
Them go
More sure and slow.
They are such little hands,
Be kind. Things are so new and life but stands
A step beyond the doorway. All around
New day has found
Such tempting things to shine upon, and so
The hands are tempted hard, you know.
They are such new, young lives;
Surely their newness shrives
Them well of many sins. They see 80 much,
That, being immortal, they would touch,
That II they reach
We must not chide, but teach.
They arc such fond, clear eyes,
That widen to surprise
At every turn; they are so often held
To suns or showers-showers soon dispelled
By looking in our face
Love asks for so much grace.
They are such fair. frail gifts;
Uncertain as the riffs
OF light that lie along the sky
They may not be here by and by,
Give them not love, but more-above
And harder-patience with the love.

The depreciation in railroad bonds is
felt in various ways. One of my &C
quaintance, for instance, invested @
large part of his money in Ohio Central
first mortgages at SO. This was con-
sidered low for six per cent. bonds,
and as the issue was only three million
the annual interest amounted to only
$l80,000. The road. however, default
ed on its interest and the bonds are now
down to 20. There, too, are the West
Shore bonds. which have not defaulted.
They have been up as high as 80, but
are now selling at So. Cheap enough
for five per cent. bonds, and il really
good why should they be SO low? Rail
road bonds, however, like all other
forms of credit, are easily affected by
report, and even by gossip, and this is
often the best explanation of such q de-
cline. Railway bonds have also made
. sensation in bank circles since the
resignation of both the President and
Treasurer of the Bank of the Republic
is occasioned by the present decline.
These officers were induced to lend
half-million on this kind of security.
and as the directors did not approve the
loan . resignation followed. H. w.
