white Gold. Seekers in China.

Siberia has always been regarded as
rich in auriferous deposits, and travellers
tales have been heard describing the rich
results of washing the mud of the rivers,
while the soil was mingled with golden
scales. Strange, these stories did not
seem to attract the hordes of needy ad-
venturers who flock wherever gold is,
or is supposed to be, in existence; but
recently, for some months past, busy
community of diggers has been at work
in place so inaccessible that until last
winter, the Chinese were unaware that
a tribe of foreign devils were gathering
up wealth ON the borders of their own
empire. The mining camp is composed
of detachments from Australia and Cali
fornia, and n sprinkling of diamond
seekers from South Africa; and these men
have formed a government of their own
over republic they have coolly appro-
priated from the Chinese empire, having
the Russian administration on the other
side of the river. The results of the
work are good, upward of 9, 600 pounds
weight of gold having been purchased
last year by Russian agents, who have
paid excellent prices, ranging up to
sixty-fve shillings for the troy ounce.
This new "nation" founded on the
banks of the Amoor river, is likely,
if the stories told about it are true, to
become a power in the world; for
as its only trouble is likely to be with
China the bold diggers have taken the
initiative and defed the stem thousand"
which the ira e and disappointed man
darins threatened them with. This in-
cident is another painful leaf in the his
tory of China. The brother of the sun
and moon, the son of heaven, to be de-
fed by gang of outer barbarians clad
in flannel shirts, corduroys, and knee
boots, aud speaking an unknown but
emphatic language, and to see the golden
treasures of his land taken away from
under his very nose, is humiliation too
great to be submitted to yet what can
be done2 The "ten thousandn had bet

A Decorated Goblet.

An interesting homemade method of
natural decoration consists simply in
taking a glass or goblet and placing
in the interior a little common salt
water. In a day or so, slight mist
will be seen upon the glass-hourly this
will grow until in very short time the
glass will present a beautiful appear
ance, it being enlarged to twice its
thicknesSand be covered with beautiful
salt. crystals, packed upon one another
exactly like some peculiar fungus or ami
NAL growth. 1t is necessary to place a
dish beneath the glass, as the crystals
will run over, if the term can be used
The glass can be made additionally
beautiful by placing in the salt and
water some common red ink. This will
be absorbed, as it were, and the white
surface covered with a rich red coat,
which, in turn, can be covered by blue
or any color by the introduction of inks
or tints. No more simple method OF
producing inexpensive and beautiful or
naments can be imagined, and by using
different shapes of vases and shades, an
endless variety Of beautiful forms can be
produced, pleasing alike to young and

Noses and Ears.

With the astrologers a large nose was
always a sign of much character of some
kind, but that was determined by other
characteristic marks. A Roman nose
was sign of courageous temper and a
disposition to face and overcome diff.
culties, while more strongly aquiline
n ose was an indication of rapacity; the
idea being evidently borrowed from the
similarity of this description of beak to
that of the eagle, the most rapacious OF
birds. The snub nose showed little
character but much temper, while the
Greek nose, even, straight and regular,
was a sign of the temperament of the
owner. Large nostrils indicated good
lungs, health and long life, while swell
ing nostrils showed warlike spirit and
fire. A very sharp nose was considered
an indication of busybody, while o
bluntness at the end of this member was
an outward sign of the possessor's men
tai lack of acuteness Large ears were
always bad, the similarity between their
owner and the donkey being supposed
to extend further than the ears, while
small ears were always good The lobe
of the ear passing insensibly into the
check was a sure sign of a thief and liar,
while an exceedingly sharp division be,
tween the two indicated honesty and
candor. Thick ears meant thick brains,
while thin, delicate ears declared theil
possessor to be man of refined intelli

ONE ATA TIME.


One step at a time and that well placed,
Wereach the grandest height;
One stroke at a time, earth's hidden stores
win slowly come TO light;
One seed at time, and the forest grows;
One drop at a time, and the river flows
Into the~boundless sea.
One word at a time, and the greatest book
Is written and is read;
One stone at time and palace rears
Aloft its stately head;
One blow at time, and the trees cleft
through
And city will stand where the forest grew
A few short years before.
Ono foe at time, and he subdued,
And the conflict will be won;
One grain at a time, and the sand of life
Will slowly all be run;
One minute, another, the hours fly;
One day at time, and our lives speed by
Into eternity
One grain of knowledge, and that well
stored,
Another and more on them,
And as time rolls ON your mind will shine
With many garnered gem
OF thought and wisdom. And time will tell,
Zone thing at a time, and that done WE'LL"
Is wisdom's proven rule.

The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1886-01-27

A traveller entered town in south
western Kentucky on ''court day, when
the streets were full of people from the
country and the stores wero crowded
with customers. There was quite bri.
gade of horse traders on hand and from
the well-to do farmer, with his prancng
roam, down to the dilapidated darkey,
with his rickety old mule, that looked
like a relic from Noah's ark, all had their
say and their trade, and imagined that
they had the best of it. That is one OF
the mysteries of the business. One hun.
dred men can make fifty trades, and
every man Of them make money by it. 1t
reminds me OF a group OF boys once
knew who boosted that they could meet
together every Sunday and make two or
three dollars apiece trading Jackets"

to dine with him at the White House.

quainted lie forgot, however, to invite
Judge Taft, who consequently was not
present so those invited to meet him
did not have the pleasure of seeing
him.
On another occasion, when Congress
was investigating the Washington real
estate pool, General Grant sent one of
his sons to the Capitol to invite infor-
mally a dozen Republican Senators to dine
at the White House for a conference.
The young Grant mistook that stanch
Democrat, Senator Eli Salisbury, for
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, and so in
vited the Delawarian. His presence
acted like an extinguisher on all politi-
cal talk, and he, after having wondered
all through the dinner why he was in

cigars were introduced. Ben: Pwiey

out with great clearness, and in diagno-

According to the New York CONNER
cial Enquirer, company of fruit grow
ers has been formed in California, with
q capital OF $3.50, 900, to carry on the
business of shipping fruit to the eastern

daily from Sacramento, made up of cars
for the principal points of distribution
in the Eastern and Middle States, and
by putting them through on passenger
train time to supply at the metropolis in

the vast quantity of fruit that now goes
to waste in California for lack of some
such system for utilization.

Creeping through nodding lids Of snow,

And mothers voice the winds that float
Your bark to Sunderland.

Fleeting visions people the strands

Sleepy sands that creep into eyes
Ever so open, ever so wise,
Waited from Sunderland.

impossible to warn her, threw off her
dress, jumped into bed, took the dying
woman into her arms, and chafed the

of others; there is no order more highly
valued in Spain. Never before has il

the minds of plain people. ga visitor

had not been in Boston for several years.
During this period his host had built a
spick an span new house on the site of
his old one. After going over the gayly
decorated establishment, surveying the
sumptuous drawing rooms and the es-
thetic attics, the guest came down to the
lower floor, where the rooms, instead of
having large plate glass windows like
those above, had exceedingly small
panes, in imitation of the fashions of a
century or more ago. The innocent
rural visitor naturally supposed that here
was veritable vestige of the past.
