tiens and Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year.
There was a time last summer when
the mining outlook Of the Wood
River country, appeared somewhat
Encouraging to the faint.hearted, as
there appeared to be no increase in
production, or prospect Of the opening
of new, paying mines. 1t is always
darkest just before dawn, and SO it
proved with our home mining inter-
ests. Following in the wake of three
uneventful months came the news of
discovery after discovery, rich and
richer strikes. greater bodies of ore
aud a general inclination among min
ing men to take bold of their proper
ties with will, and to work them for
all that they contained. The result
is the output of Wood River this sea-
son, Notwithstanding the drawback
and hindrances which have been
thrown in the way Of progress, will ex.
coed that of last year. Everywhere
along the gulches trending toward the
river valley, prospects before almost
unheard of, or abandoned, have de.
veloped into large producing and pay.

Hon. J. S. Waters returned yester-

A Florida Dissipation.

We say good night to Aunt Katy
and drive on. The sky Is peculiar to
Florida on such night-a steel blue,
with thousands of tiny, iieecy clouds
like daisies, decking its bosom, and
under which the moon looks and
laughs like beautiful face through a
brides white veil. We pass through =
lane, on the right of which we see
glimpses of water through clumps of
young oak, and come presently to the
Jackson orange tree. All the Jack
sons are out on the porch OF the little
brown house-father, mother, and ba-
bies-and there hang the clustered or
anges from three to four thousand, on
that grand old tree. Old! Well, per-
haps twenty years have roughened its
bark; and after jackson is dead, and
his children's children, somebody will
pluck the golden fruit FROM those same
limbs, Tor it has seventy five years yet
in which to reach its prime. jackson
comes up, and with his hands full OF
silver goes back with baskets aud lad
der. and presently we are pairing and
eating the luscious fruit.
Perhaps de ladies would like some
sugar-cane, > Jackson says, pocketing
his money. "Ps got 1t wild ten jints,

The good citizens OF New York City,
and they comprise . vast majority of It's
Inhabitants are greatly annoyed at the
tone of the letters sent from that city 20
western papers. Twenty years ago the
practice among leading journals in
other cities was to employ somebody OF
intelligence and character in New York
to write weekly letter, supplementing
the scanty reports about many impor-
tant occurrences which were tele-
graphed in those days, and treating
current matters in an honest and sensi-
BILE way. The immense increase in the
use of the wires by the press within re.
cent years has greatly restricted the old
field Of the correspondent. and tho
business has for the most part falleu
into the hands Of unscrnpulous Bche-
mans, who deliberately, concoct the
most sensational stories about the state
Of society ia New York, and newspapers
at the west which should be above such
business, place this worse than worthless
stuff before their readers With their en-
dorsement. These letters, ahoat the
universal immortality Of men and the
Wholesale drunkenness among the wom-
en-. are swallowed without q gulp by
multitudes Of honest people. Indeed,
they seem to deceive editors who might
be presumed TO know better.

The belief that means OF prevent

has been discovered by DIR. Ferran, 4

such currency that It is proposed to
make the matter subject OF investiga.

Ferran has inoculated many person.,

era among inoculated persons. Ami
mails inoculated with the virus die from

In the case OF human beings the suffer

Or course, il is impossible to say how
long the security obtained from inocu-
lation may last. That can only be de
termined by experience; but it is pos
sible that at last a certain means of
staying the rayages OF cholera has been
found.
