They comprise two hills, Of 220 acres,

shafts are made from the base, and it is
found that the further they penetrate
the better is the onyx. Arizona onyx is

They had q stunning sensation in
Stockton. CAL. last Sunday at the First
Presbyterian Church. Without the
least previous notice Rev. D. L. Munroe
arose in the pulpit and said God had
commanded him to make confession.
Ten years ago. he said, and before his
marriage, he had had improper relations
with women upon promises Of marriage
which he had never intended to fulfill
Since his marriage, he said, he had
been pure in action. but not in thought.
He then proceeded to tell of the fe.
male members Of his flock toward whom
he had had improper thoughts. The
list embraced married and single ladies',
and he mentioned their names publicly
before the congregation.
Once, while coming up on the steamer
from San Francisco, be had squeezed the
hand Of young lady member of his
flock, giving her name. And on another
occasion he had detained the same young
lady in his study and pulled her ear.
Most Of his improper thoughts came
when he was walking home from prayer
meeting with the sisters,
During this confession it is said that
many ladies' present were in such a

A Desirable Mime.

The Mount Morgan gold mine, near
Rockhampton, Queensland. continues to
be wonderful property. It is believed
to be paying larger profits than any other
investment in the range of commerce.
During the past year dividends to the
amount of 1888, 900 have been paid,
and the entire property is now valued at
the enormous sum of $72. 997, 900. Yet
this little hill was bought a few years
ago for SO, lis, and the original owner,
who held the property without dream
iug it was Of any value, is now very
poor man. From the base to the sum.
nit Of this so-called mountain is only
700 feet high. The ore is of remarkably
high grade, and there seems no prospect
that it will be exhausted for many years.

man suggested that l pinch him under
