Senator Hearst. of California, is the best
miner in America. He began in the noun
tains as day laborer Today he is the rich
est man in the United States. There is not a
mining state or territory in which he does not
own and work mines. Jim Witchlatch sold
his mine near Unionville, Mon, for s., 500,
900, and lost all that money in Wall street.
He went back to LeadviIle and in six months
made $4,000, He lost every cent of this by
the failure of Grant & Ward in 1888. He now
has fortune of $50 600 Ten years ago Joe
Stanley was prospecting il Gilpin county
Colo. His wife took in washing while he dug
his way through 700 feet of barren rock. He
had no money and couldn't hire help. A,
the end of the 700 feet he struck pay ore, and
named it the California mine. A party OF
Englishmen on tour through the state gave
him 81 ,00000 cash fer it, and have received
$S000,0 900 in dividends since Joe is now on.

Last Thursday two young ladies of Sac
ramento, who have been camping in the
neighborhood Of Bolinas, went on a buckle
berry picnic, and We're somewhat surprised
to encounter large brown bear engaged in
the same line of business. One of the Young
ladies, who is an expert shot, happened to
have rifle, and though not wishing TO rouse
any hard feeling, did not propose to have
her fun in5erfered with by man or beast
Therefore, as Bruln seemed disposed to assert
monopoly OF the entire huckleberry crop
of the district, she quietly but resolutely
took the offensive, and sent bullet through
its brain. This is the first bear, we believe,
that has ever been killed by a woman in Ma
rion county. The carcass was brought to
san Rafael by the Bolinas stage. Ii was a
big, ugly brute, and lcok at it was suffi-
cient to arouse admiration for the grit OF the
two quiet looking ladies that put it to sleep.

The Scottish Thistle.

With regard to the circumstances under
which the thistle was adopted as its emblem
by the Scottish nation, correspondent of
London Notes and Queries relates the follow
ing tradition: Queen Scotia had led her
troops in well fought field, and, when tho
day was won, retired TO the rear to rest from
her tolls She threw herself upon the ground,
where, as i'll luck would have it an envious
thistle had elected to grow at the very spot
selected for her repose Whether the fair
Amazon fought in the national costume
know not, but the spines Of the offending
herb were sufficiently powerful to penetrate
the skin i'll a very painful manner. pro
verbal philosopher mot Mr.. Tupper, think
has declared that ''he that sitteth on nettles
riseth up quickly" and the same remark
holds good of tfistles. Queen Scotia sprana
up and tore the thistle up by the roots. She
was about 10 cast it from her with military
but unladylike expression, when it STRUCK
her that the prickly plant would hencefortt
be ever associated in her mind with the glo
rious victory which she had just gained Hel
intention was changed. She placed tn,
thistle in her casque, and it became tn,
badge OF her dynasty.

What could they all be employed to dol
Nobody but member of the Chinese court
