and insurance companies of this city, as
well % those having their headquarters
elsewhere. have been hit very heavily, the
a-eregs.s loss sustained Dy them being be
tween $4,000 and $1,000. Every com
. p.ay in this city hos suffered either through
ii.ect policies or reinsurance, and as IN
almost every instance the property de
sroved YVES owned by one ottwo or three
individuals suspicious that something was
sroug az last became aroused. Nothing
MAS done, however, until after the burning
OF barn belonging TO Mr. Goe;zendiner
on the 5th OF November last. This struc
ture vas insured Tor 200 IN the Peabody
Of this city. while its contents, consisting
of hay, grain and tsrm machinery, was
covered oy al additional policy IN the
PhVlix, OF Hartford, Conn.
This ire vas the las. straw, and the m
surauce companies put the matter IN the
hands OF Detective Burnett Tor iuyesuga

STRUCK "PAY DIRT
g.. the very start. On last Monday Detec'
i've Burnett ARRESTED negro named
James Willis charging him with being the
,nceudiary. He Nas arraigned before Jus
tee David Howell, when be plead not guilty.
. TIE evidence AGAINST him was overwhelm'
ing. however, aud be Was committed TO
iail vithoa, bail for hearing before the
grand jury.
l. Is alleged ,aat Just after the fire the
owner OF the barn, Goe;zen6iner, was pre-
Daring to sign al affidavit to the effect that
there was iorty tons OF hay in the barn
half OF which was his and malt his sou s
out on the insurance agent warning hin
that It h. signed the paper he would get
into trouble he threw down the pen anc
left returning shortly atterwasd and saying
he had no hay in the barn at all. Hl'
snn. when asked as to the quantity o.
hay stored in the barn, refused TO answer
saving he would retain an attorney, who
you'd manage the case.
On the day following the arrest OF Willis

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
A Word About Bread.

A physicians daughter thus writes:
I'm the household column l read of so
many woes in bread making that it is a
wonder why no one has yet suggested
substituting other food for bread. Some
of the best physicians now avoid sup
pers' and have 8 P. NJ. dinners purposely
to avoid bread and cake There is no
excuse for bread at breakfast and dinner,
while for supper stewed potatoes, with
poache1 eggs or cold meat, could form
the principal part of the meal, adding
soft. custard,' with fruit and delicate
cake !; bread is unnecessary. The chill
dren Of our family have for breakfast
hominy or oatmeal, with potatoes, fruit,
delicate meats, with milk, and perhaps
cracker. For dinner, meat or chicken,
asparagus, potatoes and other healthy
vegetables and fruits, with rice or other
simple dessert; while at supper, stewed
potatoes, milk, eggs or cold chicken,
cottage cheese, blanc mango, with oc-
casionally little simple cake. ."-O6-

Gold in Different Forms.

Peculiarities in the form of gold taken
from mining districts often give a name
to the locality Chunk Canyon, Slug
Gulch and Specimen ravine are examples.
A canyon in FL Dorado county is called
String Canyon. This is said to be on ac-
count of the very singular form of gold
dust found in that region. Much of it
resembles pieces of wire, one and two
inches in length, and some of it as fine as
thread.
Observations of the form of their dust
often led miners to make very valuable
discoveries. All gold, as is we'll known,
originally came from quartz. In its nat
ural state in the quartz it is very irregu-
lar in form. Every rich ravine and can
yon had a gold-bearing quartz vein,
whore wearing away by the elements had
loosened the precious metal, to be
washed down by the water among the
gravel and sand. When gold has been
washed far from its source the attrition
causes it to become fine and smooth. As
the miner approaches the feeding quartz
vein the gold becomes cOarser and more
scraggy till suddenly the pay gives out
entirely. Then it is certain that rich
quartz ledge is in the vicinity, and in
this manner veins have been struck that
have yielded many thousands of dollars
in few weeks
Gold dust buying in the mining towns
.Was Il very profitable business in the early
bays of California What as called
black sand, composed principally Of iron,
was always mingled to a greater or less
degree with the dust when it was
brought to the buyer. This had to be
bown out, and often the finest particles
of gold were blown out with it. Thus in
on Office where large quantity of dust
was bought much of the fine gold would
be scattered around the room. The dust
ings of a buyers counter and sweepings
of his floor were often worth hundreds of
dollars a month. Sometimes the buyers
were suspected of cheating in a more il
legitimate manner by slyly appropriating
some Of the gold while they were shaking
it around and examining it in the blow
pans San Francisco Post.

His prayer was granted. High as heay en-

Armies of toiled out slaves rise at his feet,
World-circling traffic roared through mart

eidis priests are gods, his spice-balmed kings

Set death at naught in rock-ribbed char

Seek Pharaoh's race to-day and we shall find
Rust and the moth, silence and dusty sleep

Greek.
His prayer was granted. All the earth bes

Plastic and vocal to his sense; each peak,
Each grove, each stream, quick with Pro-
methean flame,
Peopled tho world with imaged grace and
light
The Tyre was his, and his the breathing
might
OF the immortal marble, his the play
OF diamond-pointed Thought and golden
tongue.
Go seek the sunshine race, we find to-day
A broken column and Lutte unstrug
"oh, World-God. give me powerp the Ro

His prayer was granted. The vast world
was chained
captive to the chariot of his pride,
The blood of myriad provinces was drained
To feed that fierce, Unsuitable red heart,
Invulnerably bulwarked every part
With serried legions and with close.meshed
code.
