But on the whole the Spanish student and
the serenader was, at the period of my visit,
conspicuous 10y his absence. In Barcelona |
heard a great deal Of street music of peculiar
kind, but not elsewhere During my wander
ings at night about Cordova | occasionally,
but not often, saw the cloake,i cavalier before
the grated window Of his fair one If il was at
the first story, or under it if the forbidden
chamber were in the second. This scarcity
Of midnight trysts with a cruel wall between
might have been an accident of the season,
for if We are to believe the poet, it is not i'll
autumn that Il young mans fancy lightly
turns to thoughts Of love There is something
depressing about the first chill winds that
sweep down from lofty mountain chains upon
valleys Of the rose and plains of almost
eternal summer, and the Spanish lover,
though of somewhat fiery passion, is not
above their influence. None Of those that
saw paid the slightest attention to the ap-
preaching football Of the stranger, nor did
the wearer Of the white drapery. seen in Il
ghostly way i'll the inner recess of the window,
endeavor TO Withdraw from foreign observa-
ton.
In one instance the loving intercourse was
carried on under difficulties. The window
was far above the wall. but by mounting on a
small box and reaching up his arm to its full
height the cavalier was able TO touch the end
of the finger of his charmer. who reached her
white arm down rs far as possible. To the
ordinary observer this would seem g very
fatiguing and unsatisfactory style of love
making, but this midnight pair evidently did
not tire of ii, for having passed the spot be
fore midnight and made an extended tour,
returned 10y the same place and found the
lovers still fondly and painfully touching the
tips Of each others fingers.-Cor San Fran

The value of gold dust was not known TO
the earlier miners i'll California. Marshall
and those who were with him at the sawmill
race had never seen gold i'll its virgin state
before the discovery. The first gold sold at
COlOna, 1t Is said, only brought s. an ounce,
but it afterwarl rose 10 SIC, at which figure
il remained for some wears. Sellers and buy
ers did not for a long time recognize any diff
ference i'll the value Of different dust. What
are you paying for dust tO-day' was the
question often asked 10y the miners of the
dust buyers. Thus, III those times no more
difference was recognized i'll the quality Of
different gold dust than is to-day recognized
in the quality of different sand or sawdust
Buyers mixed their dust together when they
sent it 10 the mint, and paid an average price
for it all. This was very good thing for the
miner who had poor dust and very unfair to
those who had dust OF the hest quality.
Afterward it was found that the dust as it
was taken from the earth varied greatly in
value. Some Of 1t, according 10 mint re-
turns, was WORTH even low as ~ all ounce
and some was worth SO and more This is
on account Of II e fact that greater or less
amount of bas.v metals, silver, copper, etc,
is always found N alloy with gold in its nat
ural state. Gold dust always differs Us much
III appearance as it does III quality. Some Of
it is yellow and bright, and some is dull in
color-dark green and black The bright
yellow dust is not always the hest in quality,
as might ordinarily Ire supposed. Some of
the pureSt gold ever mined has been almost
black in color. There is also no uniformity
in the form of particles of gold dust Some
is fine and fiourlike, some Is coarse and
smoothly worn, and some is rough and
scraggly-San Francisco Post

for the party and had placed on board keg

sandwiches and other refreshments. As none

cided TO borrow or hire compass and chart

Ned OMahoney kindly loaned them tin
framed alarm clock, which he said would do
just as well Everything went along nicely
until they started back Soon after heading
for Baltimore the clock somehow didn't point
out the right way and the yacht struck an

knocked out. The keg of beer rolled over

There are many sad cases where the habit Of

horrible at times and can only be appreciated
