AN AURIFEROUs STEER.
Virginia New Chronicle


r. Noce has in his possession at Dele
paine's store on North c street the jaw
OF a young steer which he slaughtered
last week, and which has been feeding
near the Truckee river. The teeth arr
literally sheathed in gold, in some places
the coating of solid gold being at least
one-eighth of an inch in thickness. Al
first the material coating the teeth wa.
pronounced to be mica by experts, who
applied the acid test and are now satisfied
that the coating is pure gold. The place
where the cattle are herded is situated in
the low range of hills skirting the banks
OF the river between Truckee and Wads.
worth. There are numerous springs in
the depressed portion of the hills and ra.
vines. and active search is now being
made for the one from which this partic.
lar steer drank, as it is confidently antic.
pated that the water contains some pecu.
liar chemical properties which have the
effect of dissolving gold and holding it
in solution.
Unfortunately for science, Mr.. Noce
failed to discover the gold coating ON the
teeth and jaws until several days after
the steer was killed. Had he discovered
the marvellous coating on the Jaws and
teeth in time, he would have carefully
preserved the intestines and stomach,
SAd had them carefully analysed in search
OF nuggest or chispas. A careful assay of
the stomach would certainly have shown
more than trace of the precious metal.
Mr. Noce thinks differently, however
and gives the following reason: He saws
that cattle while drinking keep their
teeth tightly closed and suck the water
between them, which accounts satisfac.
torily for the coating being SO much
thicker on the outer portion of the teeth
than on the inner, which is now especi.
ally noticeable on the lower Jaw. In.
credulous readers of the Chronicle can
satisfy themselves of the correctness of |
the above statement by calling at Dele
paine's store.

The New Church.

HoPKINsvILLE, Jan. u, 1888.
We, the members of the Main ST.,
Baptist church have bought lot 4S
X 60 feet, for the sum of $3.50, fifty
cash, and the balance in one, two and
three years. We feel that DR.. Ben
Wood, from whom we bought the lot
is a man who wants to help the poor
and says he is willing to help us.
We ask our friends to help us, there
fore we thank our white friends fer
their advice. Some of the members
of the Virginia St., church have con-
sented to help us, among whom is
brother Wyatt Watt who has contrib
nted generously in the sum Of $500.
On Jan. 23d the Virginia St., Baptist
church held its regular church meet
ing, at which the following resolu-
tion were adopted:
ResolUed, That the members of the
second Baptist church to whom we
give letters to join any other regular
missionary Baptist church of the
same faith and order, should not be
recognized by the Virginia ST.,
church.
This was given encouragement by
its pastor Rev. Il. Williams. We are
in for no fight but are trying to build
house of God where we can wor-
ship under our own vine and fig tree
We have our convictions on the fol-
lowino nasea Oe from Joma,. HIVbo.

Tisherman's Luck.

In Scotland they have a curious
way of fishing that takes the medal
for the ease and repose with which II
is conducted. The fisherman we
will say is after pike. Selecting a
big goose from his barnyard, or hall
a dozen geese, as the case may be, he
ties baited line about five feet long
TO their feet, and on reaching the
water turns them in. The birds, OF
course, swim out and the fisherman
ligts his pipe and sits down. In a
few minutes fish sees the bait and
seizes 1t, giving the goose good pull,
The bird starts for the shore at full tilt,
frightened half to death, dragging
the fish upon the bank, where it is
unlocked. The line being re-baited,
the feathered fisherman is again sent
out TO try its luck. A flock of geese
can make quite good haul in the
course of the day, the human fisher.

and bait the hooks, the pulling in

TO wish a man "merry" or

disappointment regret and sorrow
seems to me equivalent to wishing

golden fruitage that bangles from
the boughs of seraph-guarded apple
trees in Paradise, beyond the reach
ofhuman hands, or hopes, or prayers,
and merriment is possible only where
sanity is not. Children, drunken
men and fools have a monopoly OH

ment, with her skirts gracefully held
up out of the mud by one hand, and
that of man stolidly striding along
with his trousers, from the knees
downward, spattered and splashtd
with mud, and his stockings-could
they be seen-in even worse plight,
1t is no wonder that our young men
are feeble, thin-legged and narrow
chested. The wonder is that the
fatal trousers have not ling sil ce
extirpated the race.
Aside from considerations of health,
man is handicapped in the race Of
life by his trousers. How many
things does a man drop and lose IN
the course of year in consequence
of the fact that he has no lap in
which to hold them. A woman, by
spreading out her skirts, can give
herselfa lap capacity of fully two
bushels, but man cannot hold a
single grain of corn in his lap. The
trousers, although they may be pro-
vided with three or four pockets,
have very little carrying capacity,
since there is very little room between
the inner surface of tie trousers and
the outer surface of the wearer;
whereas u woman's pocket is of
almost unlimited capacity, and in
some cases-as Custom House
searchers can testify-has been
known to contain articles sufficient
in quantity to fill large-sized Sara
toga trunk. Were man to wear skirts
he could carry weeks change of
clothing and toilet articles in his
pocket and make trip to Washing
ton or Chicago with absolutely
nothing in his hands; whereas in
consequence Of wearing trousers he
cannot leave home for a single night
without loading himself down with a
bag.
Women have hitherto monopolized
skirts from purely selfish motives,
but they cannot forever deprive men
of them. If we are TO be healthy, and
in condition to fight the battle of
life untrammeled, we must cast
trousers 10 the winds and put on
skirts.
