Amongst English judges and harris

it would have been impossible to find a

Mineral Tests.

As matter of fact there are no combi-
nations of iron and lead in chemical
sense. Iron and lead are found in proxim-
ity in Eureka, New, and elsewhere. The
best test for black tellurium is by the
blow pipe on a piece Of coal but so few
prospecters are familiar with the use of
the blow pipe that l will not take your
space in describing the manipulation. The
other compound of tellurium known in the
books as sylvanite is readily distinguished
on sight by its bright polished steel lustre
1t is familiar to your miners as the prod
uct of the Star of Fellows ledge, at Ham
burg Flat on the Middle Yuba and else
where in Sierra county. After a long ex-
posure to pure nitric acid in glass tube
this mineral will show its gold. The acid
may be renewed once OF twice The ore
most apt to be mistaken for black telluri-
um is slphuret of zinc-generally known
as zinc blend. This can be readily tested
as follows: Dissolve in muriatic acid,
when, if the odor Of rotten sggs is evolved
it will probably be zinc blend. There is
another ore called mispickle, an arsenical
pyrite, which has been mistaken for tellur-
ic ore. In burning this substance on char
coal it emits the Odor of rotten onions or
garlic Nearly all combinations of ore can
be recognized by the sense of taste or smell
when subjected to the action of heat either
on charcoal or in an acid bath. 1t is greatly
to be regretted that the hardy prospector
is not familiar with the simple tests re-
quired to discriminate minerals This
would save much trouble

Thought of the poor and needy, who feed on

Ofthe rich who feed on the daintles, nor gave
the poor a sigh.
OF the sweaters who toll Tor the ounce, whlle the
idlers scoop the pound;
And wondered if the curse Of Adam would eer

But thought again of the children, curtailed in

And if this was law Of nature or only effected

That Wealth would cease to be blessed and Time

Then John Smiths descendants will double,

And no modern Yankee invention from the

And those who feed on the dainties will have

He was Oh his way to a village in the
interior to get married. The day and the
hour had been set, and here he was fifty
miles away and no show to get there un-
less he hired locomotive. Acting upon
the advice of the depot policeman, the
young man had an interview with one OF
the chief officials of the road, who offered
the use of locomotive for $40.
That's a heap of money" replied the
young man as his enthusiasm began to OOZe
away.
"Yes," said the Indifferent official
'I'll telegraph to her father and see what
he says"
"very well; and let me know within an
hour"
In about an hour the young man re-
turned with a message in his hand and he
laid it before the official without a word.
1t read:
Susan changed her mind yesterday and
was married to Frank"
Then you won't want the locomotive, Of
course ?"
"Of course not. 1t was lucky thought
of telegraphing, for Pm just $40 ahead"
"And you don't feel bad over being left?"
well, I'd been engaged to Susan for
thirteen years, and when l opened that

FOR GENTLEMEN.
Fashion. Change Made for the Ap.
preaching Spring Season.
New York Fashion Review

New York Fashion Review.
At present there is little, if any change
in the swallow tail' coat; about the same
lengths prevail as last season. and the
lapels are neat and narrow. Knee breeches
have been effectually disposed of for dress
purposes, and so decidedly have they been
sat down ON" by society that they will
never again, in our time, raise their head.
Walking suits have undergone very lit
tie change during the season, but there is a
disposition to slightly shorten them in the
waist and skirt The one button cutaway
is increasing in favor for young mems
wear, but is slightly modified in its gene
raj apl earance to suit their requirements
The vest is cut high, with a collar, and
tracing the form. When the coat and vest
are made from black and blue diagonal, or
corkscrew wOrsteds, the pantaloons are
made from fancy cassimeres of hair line, or
small plaid or check patterns, but If made
from any of the fashionable shades of gray,
olive, ETC., the entire suit is alike.
Dress shirts, etc. are undergoing
change from plain linen bosoms to en-
broidered fronts, and it is not improbable
in few years we may see lace ruffies In
bosOms and cuffs; if so, certain modifica-
tiOns of the dress suit will be demanded,
by which the wearer will be the gamer by
general effectiveness and elegance of ap-
parel. The embroidered front is of the
finest needlework, not snowy vines, but
fine, inobtrusive embroidery.
The newest collars are called the Eng
lish collars, and are very high, with deep,
rundown points.
The necktie for dress is the narrow fold
ed white muslin tie With the stiff bow and
straight ends. Black silk ties are often
worn by gentlemen of quiet tastes, but
white satin is never used by gentleren of
refinement.
Black and colored silk stockings, either
plain or slightly embroidered in cOlOrs, are
worn with pumps for dress occasions. For
ordinary wear, what are called "digitated
socks" THAT is, the toes are separated like
glove fingers) are the newest styles in fine
English Merino.
The tendency is again for broad toed
shoes.
Fine French linen handkerchiefs for
dresss do not have quite as wide hens as
formerly and are finely hemstitched, with
the monogram or initial embroidered in
white For general use handkerchiefs
with cOlOred borders are used.
Gloves for dress are to be found in
variety of delicate and light shades, but
for general use are in dark, rich shades OF
reddish browns, and decorated with wide
stitching on the back, either in the same
color or in black

The Weakness of His Strength.
Merchant Traveller.

Thursday evening, an hour after supper,
| Mr.. Topnoody stood with his feet wide
apart in front of. the fire and his hands be-
hind him, looking at his wife sitting near
lamp sewing.
MY DEAR" he said, 'did you know l had
swore off drinking and haven't tasted a
drop since the first day of the new year ~
II didn't know it exactly, TOpnOOdy, but
or two, as usual"
That's it, my dear. l have sworn off. y
When are you going out of the Demo
cratic party?"
Not yet, my dear. There is an element
of morality in that party which can man
age to harmonize with"
"A 'beggarly clement 1 should say, if
you are part of it."
"You shouldn't speak so, my dear, of
your husband"
"On the knowledge growing out of that
fact, Topnoody, base my conclusions"
"They are all base, my dear"
"Joke, if you will, Topnoody, but I'll
bet rolling pin you will not keep that
resolution"
"Why not, my dear?"
Because the man that can't keep the
palings nailed on the fence can't keep a
resolution"
That's got nothing to do with it."
Certainly not, but you will see how
near right am in the course of a week" !"
"Why, my dear, can do it easily. The
glorious spirit of the New year, with all
its gracious promise, its better impulses,
its nobler resolves, makes me strong
enough to do anything anything, my
dear"
Anything, Topnoody?"
"Quite sure, my dear"
"Well, see if you are strong enough to
put some coal on that fire, and when
you've got that done, see if your remain
ing strength is equal to the strain of carry
ing those ashes out There's too many in
that ash pan to stay there all night"
Topnoody found strength.

I'll help you rub him down."
He was assisted to his feet and went to
work with considerable heart. By-and-by
he went to the house and had his eye
bound up, and when supper was ready he
insisted that the traveller should eat with
him. Not cent would he take when the
latter was ready to go, but, extending his
hand, said:
Stranger, I've licked seven different
men who have stopped here within the
past six months, and it kinder does me
good to get knocked under the benches.

All was quiet as the grave. We stood
quite still. In moment Ben broke out in
one of his widest laughs.
Well" he said, "how now? Will
you 90 home now and have another night
mare?"
But hardly had the words escaped his
lips when a shrek broke on the air, and a

'Ben," said l, I'VE are wanted at the
cross roads," and then, understanding each
other, without more words we made our
way to window, through which light
shone. A muslin curtain draped the panes,
but through it we saw an awful sight.
An old man lay on the floor, and over
him bent ruffian, clutching his throat
and holding pistol to his ear, while an
other man grasped the shrieking girl by
the arm-a girl in floating nightdress-
with such long golden hair as belonged to
the girl of my vision. Not moment was
to be wasted. Ben flung his weight against
the slender lattice and crushed it in, and
we had grappled the ruffians before they
knew whence the attack came or how
many foes were upon them.
do not intend to describe the struggle;
indeed, could not, ifI would. But we
were strong men, and inspired by the cries
of the helpless old man and the terrif ed
girl, we soon had one of the villains bound
and the other lying PROSTATE on the floor.
Then Ben started for assistance, and
before morning both were in Jail. Ben ad-
mitted, as we shook each other by the
hand, that 1--WE were wanted at the cross
roads,"
The old man was not miser, but he
had saved some few thousand dollars for
his old age, and living more plainly than
he need have done, had given rise to the
rumOr, and SO brought the burglars to the
cross roads in the hope of booty.
The girl, beautiful creature Of II, was
his grand daughter, and as no story is ac-
ceptable to the lady readers without a
flavor of romance, will tell them that she
became in after years, not my wife, but
the wife of my darling brother Ben.
