Till traces OF beauty could not be found.
He would have think that, since Adams fan.
Nothing worth while had been done at ALL
Kindness and love and the golden rule
Were his faYorite themes OF rIdicule.
Whenever a technical flaw he could see
He would laugh aloud in feRdiSh gee.
Twas rumored he didn't use lux at all,
But dipped his pen in a we'll OF gain.
And all the best motives OF women and men
He probed with the point of that dreadful pen.
His caustie style gained a brief renown;
Some say that he lived in this very town.
There still is doubt OF his dweIliug-plaee,
For few ever saw this ogres face.

Men pocketed their pride il California in
those days. l met in the mines lawyers and
physicians Of coed standing at home who
were acting as baT-keepers. walters. hostlers
and teamsters. An ex-Judge Of oyer and
Terminer was driving an oX-team from Co
Iona to Sacramento. One man, who had
been a State Senator and Secretary Of State
ia one of our Western common wealths, was
doing profitable business at manufactur-
ing cradles" while an Ex-Governor Of one
of our Southwestern States played tile fiddle
in a gambling saloon. These things were
hardly remarked. Every one went to the
Slope with the determination to make
money; and if the mines did not afford it
the next inquiry was what pursuit or bust
ness would accomplish the desired end.
Thousands who had not the necessary
stamina for the vicissitudes Of a miners
Iife nor yet the means of going into any of
the various channels Of trade, were for a
time compelled to serve in capacities far
beneath their deserts until time and means
should justify them in choosing for them
selves

One Suit for Six.

The doctor also relates this incident Of a
Sunday in COloma, Cal, in 40:
A group Of half dozen Indians especially
attracted my attention. They were strutting
about in al the glory Of newly acquired
babilaments. but with this distinctiOn-that
one suit of clothes was sufficient to dress the
whole crowd. The largest and best-lOoking
Indian had appropriated the hats aud boots,
and without other apparel walked about a.
proudly as any city clerk. Another was lost
in an immense pair of pantaloons. A third
spOrted nothing but white shirt with
ruffied bosom. A fourth Haunted a blue,
swallow-tailed coat, bespangled with i'm
mense brass buttons. fifth was decked
with a hashy vest; while the sixth had moth
ing but red bandana, which was carefully
wrapped around his neck. Thus what would
scarcely serve one white man just as effect
ually accommodated six Indians.

wonder. of Modern Dentistry.

According to tire Kolnische VolksZeitung,
a Moscow dentist appears to have solved the
problem of supplying the human mouth
with false teeth which will grow into the
gums as firmly as natural ones. DR.. ZDa-
mensky has performed several successful
operations en- dogs, as well as on human
beings. The teeth are made of gltta- percha,
porcelain or metal, as the case may be. At
the root of the false tooth holes are made.
Holes are also made. upward into the jaw.
The tooth is then placed in the cavity. In
a short time a soft, graduated growth finds
its way from the patients jaw into the holes
in the tooth; this growth gradually hardens
and holds the tooth in position. 1t is stated
that it does not matter whether the cavity
in which the tooth is to be placed is one
from which natural tooth has been re-

GRASS PINKs.

The scent that 10 me is the sweetest
OF all the sweet scents tha5 know.
Distilled from the dantieSt flowers
That ever the lazy winds blow,
In wood and in lane and IN garden,
Ia meadow or marsh or moraSs,
Is that OF the pinkS remember
The plnks that grew down in the grass.
Far dearer to me than the fragrance
That floats in the tTesSeS OF May,
From poisoning thiekets Of elder
or windrows of early cut hay,
Or breath OF the Indian Islands
That tr optical ocean winds pass,
Is the scent that no other can rival,
OF the oId-fashioned pinkS In the grass

In garden where lilies were tall;
Where roses erept over the pailiags
And eIsmbered upon the low wall

That bud me to years that are ended.
Is dream OF the old-fash Oned pinCs.
