Prospecting.

The indefatigable prospector for the
alluring mineral that lies hidden beneath
our rocky mountains, is the true pioneer
in the fullest sense of the term. With
his patient little burro, sack OF flour, q
side of bacon and his mining tools, the
fearless prospector leaves behind him all
of the comforts OF civilization, his wife
and baby, and following the guiding star
Of Hope, trudges over rugged mountains
and crag. locked canyons, stopping here
and there to break and eagerly scan a
promising bit of float or wash pan OF
dirt where he fancies he has caught a
glimpse of color. Days follow days and
still he wanders onward, further and
further into the depths Of the wild, un
broken mazes Of natures rugged handi
work. As the sun sinks behind the snow.
capped ranges which rear their lofty
heads far above him on every side, he
turns his weary animal loose to crop
fresh punches Of the tender grass, and
lighting his little campfire cooks
his frugal meal, his busy brain weaving
wonderous projects of future comfort
and plenty for the loved ones who are
anxiously awaiting his return, andl worn
out at last, he rolls himself in his blan-
kets and beneath the star spangled can.
opy Of blue sinks into dreamless slum.
Der, only to awaken and renew his toll
some search for gold.
II Dame Fortune smiles upon his eff
forts and he returns to his loved ones
with the fruits of his ar1uous toll, hun.
dreds of eager seekers after the golden
spoil will follow in his footprints, and
another town is added to the long list
of mushroom camps, which form the ad.
vance guard of civilization. But un-
happily how many of these hardy treas.
ure seekers spend days, months and years
in vain search for short road to
affiuence, only to lie down their quartz.
worn pick and spade beside some promis-
ing ledge that failed to pan out in paying
quantities, and, like the way.worn pros.
pector's life, pinched out just as its
promise was fairest; and when the SHOWS
of winter had melted away under the
genial Influence Of another summers sun,
a rusty pick and spade, little heap Of
gold'sprinkled quartz and CHASTITY
skeleton, bleached and feshless, are all
that is left of the loving husband and
father who left his home and family in
the vain search for gold. So it il
through every mans life, whether the
search be for gold, for love, for glory Oh
for fame, some prospectors, with scarcely
an effort, are sbowered with favors by
the tickle Goddess, while others may
toll early and late, endure heartbreakinl
deprivations, and endure the ridicule O.
mankind, only to find, when "life's fit
full dream is o'er." that harvest o
chaf and house built upon the sand il
their only reward.-Ex.

Prince Rudolph's Awful Discovery.

A former member of the Austrian
Court throws a CHASTITY light upon the
suicides, or murder and suicide of Aus.
tria's Crown Prince and his mistress,

SOLDIERS ON BICYCLES.

A Washington dispatch says: Lieu
tenant William H. Bowen, Of the army,
who inspected the Connecticut National
Guard during the recent encampment,
has sent to the War Department very
complimentary report, giving the result
Of his observations.
The novelty Of the encampment was a
special bicycle service by corps of the
First Regiment and this feature is spec.
tally commended. "The men were
armed" says Lieutenant Bowen, with
Colts repeating carbines and revolvers.
A man mounted on bicycle can go
many places where it would be imposs.
Bile to take horse, and can beat the
flag. in sending messages in nearly ev.
cry case. As q fighting force it may not
be favored. but as messengers, patrols
and advance guards, in my opinion, it
would be advisable. / would recon.
mend to the serious consideration of the
War Department the advisability Of ex.
perimenting with the bicycle. The
principal duties of military cyclst are
those of carrying dispatches, skirmish.
ing and accommodating. As applied to
the Signal Service, wheels, in my opin.
ion, would almost double its usefulness. u
