Wood Instead of Water.

SleV eianQ herald --rs- pa -9E F.. n
Various attempts have been made
from time to time to obtain supplies of
pure water by means of artesian wells on
the arid plains of the west. In some
cases success has followed experiments,
while in others no water fit for use has
been found. Such q we'll is now nm
der the drill at White Plains, Nevada,
on what is called the forty-mile desert,
in the neighborhood of the sink of the
Humboldt. The only supply of wat
err obtainable is from the Truckee
River, thirty-five miles distant whence
it is hauled in tank-cars for en-
gine and household purposes. The
we'll now drilling has reached a depth
of 2,100 feet, and no water has been
found other than a stream of salt water
at the depth Of 3S feet and hot water at
the depth of 6S5 feet. A strange find
was that of a stratum of wood at the
the depth of 1,615 feet, which was nine
feet in thickness. 1t is doubtful if such
a quantity of wood has ever before
been found at such o depth. How it
came there under great masses of vari.
GUS kinds of stone. and gravel, may be
explained by biologists. Assome parts
of the superintendent mass showed in
disputabl evidences Of volcanic action,
the presence of the wood may be ac-
counted for as the result of some great
conyulsion CT nature.

"Well, we'll. you look cheerful after
such close call, growled Jones as he
removed his hat.
what close call?"
"Why, lightning struck the barn in
the alley not hundred feet away
"Oh, dearw said one of the women,
"but knew it all the time. One of my
arms has been numb ever since"
And it affected my foot" said anotb-
er,
"And it set my heart to palpitating."
"And nay elbow has felt queer ever
since"
Every one in the room remembered to
have been shocked, and every enc was
thankful over the narrow escape.
BY and by boy, who had been think
ing deeply, gushed out:
"Why, there is no barn In the alley4
Amidst the deepest silence everybody
remembered this fact,and the boy clinch-

"And how could there be, wheh there
is no alleyp"

THE GIRLS.

| We're often told in woful lay
OF poor downtrodden mothers;
The fathers, too, have had their day,
And ditto all the brothers,
But somehow in the calendar
A few important features
Have been omitted. Well, in short,
Where are the girls? dear creatures,
The giddy, daisy girls,
The fiirty, lazy girls,
With all their giggles, beaux anC
curls,
We rather like the girls.
We hear of the maternal drudge,
With daughters at croQuet,
OF shallow-pated misses
While sultBE hours away;
How they revel in elopements,
And they dawdle out their days,
Oh. bless u.s. how refreshing
Now would be word of praise
Fer the silly, flighty girls.
Will some good mother rise and tell.
In righteous indignation,
That every daughter is nOt-well,
The bane of all creation;
Tell how a dear one gently slips
Behind your easy chair.
And rest comes when soft finger tips
Smooth back your silvery hair.
On, the dear, house wifely girls.
Now, father. brother, pause awhile;
What if the flying feet,
The dainty fingers, sunny smile,
The voice so low and sweet,
Were gone forever from the home,
And mute the lips you kiss,
How desOlate the old hearthstOne!
Alb, then, perhaps, you'd miss
The fair, angelic girls.
They seem to be fixture here,
And now they frankly say,
Though rudely welcomed, never fear,
They're here and here to stay.
They'll whisk the cobwebs from your
brain.
And laugh when you are blue.
In hours of sunshine, days of pain,
Well try to worry through
With merry, teasing girls,
And stately, freezing girls,
They're sometimes sweet, and some
timeS-well,
They're chaDgeable, these girls.

WILLIAM MCKENDRY GwIN, whose
death is announced, was one of the most
remarkable characters of his day. His
life was filled with adventure and 70
nance, and for years he filled positions
of great prominence and influence. He
was man of great ability, of strongly
marked individuality and remarkable
popularity, and in the early days of CAL
ifornia was one of the foremost among
the leaders upon the Pacific coast. He
was Democrat always, was one of the
first Senators from California when it
was admitted to the Union. and when
the war broke out he cast his lot with
the Confederacy, and afterwards. joining
the unfortunate Maximilian in Mexico.
was by him elevated to a dukedom.
Since the collapse of the empire he has
occupied but small place, comparative
ly, in public affairs, but died at the ad-
vanced age of eighty, admired by those
who knew him.

Reform and Its Practical Results.
Reform begins to bear fruit in the
postoffice at Nyack. The good citizens
of that place, whether Republicans or
Democrats, are lifting up their voices in
complaint because the postoffice, under
its new Democratic management, is dill
atory and inefficient, and serves the peo+
pie much less satisfactorily than under
the management of the Republican
who was removed. Thus the question
comes home, to those Democrats of Ny+
ack who really oare something for prac>
tical efficiency in the administration,
whether it is we'll to remove experienced
and capable Republicans, who have per-
formed their duties greatly to the salts
faction of the people, and to appoint in
their stead Democrats who are conspic+
uously incompetent or neglectful, and
who do not perform their duty satisfac-
torily. There seems to be no doubt about
the tendency of public opinion in Ny
ack. But the same question presents it,
self in thousands of other towns.
All over the country, the President
has been removing Republicans from
places in the public service. 1t would
be within the mark to say that not one
ir ten thousand of the persons renewed
has been found insufficient or dishonest,
or has been removed because of public
dissatisfaction with his performance of
official dnties. These officials were all
experienced and trained, and had under
them experienced subordinaCes, and
knew just what the public convenience
required, and had studied for years to
serve the public satisfactorily, so that if
possible they might retain their places.
In their stead have been appointed an
army of men who have absolutely no
experience whatever. either in the Off
ces which they are called upon to fill, or
in any other branch of public service.
These men have come in because they

party which, by the voice of nine'tenths
of its members, demands that the pub
lie offices shall be given to representa-
tives and workers of the party in power.
1t is in the nature of things inevitable
that such men will seek to serve the
party, to which they owe their office,and
not the people,. In any case, however
excellent their motives may be, they in
evitably fail to give satisfaction because
they lack experience and training. They
do not know what the public needs, and
have never studied the requirement. Of
the public service. With the best inten-
tions conceivable, they must continually
come short in great majority of cases.
and compare unfavorably as to efficiency
in the performance of duty with the Of
fcials whom they have displaced. The
question comes to the good citizens in
every town where such changes have
been made, whether they like the Demo-
cratic idea, "to the victors belong the
spoils," and will uphold it.

A Mining Camp I'm '4s.

The mines put all men for once upon level
Clothes, money, manners, family connections,
Letters Of introduction, never before counted for
% lttls. The whole community was given sub
DtAntial1y an even start In the race. Gold was
% abundant, and it, sources seemed for q time
% inexhaustibls that the aggranjizing power
Of wealth was momentarily annihflated.
Social and financial inequalities between man
and man were together swept out OF sight
Each stranger was welcomed and told to take a
pan and pick, and go to work for himself The
richest miner In the camp was seldom able to
hire servant; those who had been glad to
eerve Others were digging in their own claims.
The veriest greenhorn was as likely to uncover
visest of ex-professors Of geology; and, on
the other hand. the best claim on the
river might suddenly "give out" and
never again yield q dollar. The poorest
man In the camp could have q handful OF gold
dust for the asking from more successful
him "hunt for better luck" No one was ever
allowed To suner, the treasure vaults Of the ST.
ezra were too near and seemingly too exhaust
less. ITO q little camp of 1880 an old
miner writes me-"a lad of Is came one day,
Iootsore, weary. hungry and penniless. There
In the ravine, and the Lad sat on the bank
Watching them awhile In silence, his face tell
ing the sad story Of his fortunes. At last one
stalwart miner spoke to his fellows saying:
Boys, Ill work for an hour for that chap II you
will. AT the end of the hour 800 worth OF
gold dust was laid In the youths handkerchief
Inc miners made out q list OF tools and neces-
saries You CO., they said, and buy these and
come back. Well have good claim staked
out for you. Then you've got to paddle for
yourself Thus genuine and unconventional
