The New York World is up to all sorts

dressed up charming young lady in
modest gsrb-one clean but indicative
of poverty-and instructed her to hang
basket upon her arm and take stroll
through the wealthy residence quarters
of New York city, giving the preference
to Fifth avenue and the aristocratic side
streets. The young lady, on starting
out, entertained her imagination with
visions of what she would do with the
superabundance of food she wonld re-
ceive as the result of her mission. She
soon found that she need give herself no
concern about the worthy people upon
whom she intended to bestow the dole
of the rich. Her mission was an exact
repetition of the first chapter of the
Dives and Lazarus story in the New
Testament. She got nothing. When
she came to the elegant mansion of DR..
Ohauncey M. Depuy, after many rebuffs,
she said to herself, "Here at last l will
get something for my basket" But she
struck the same discouraging refrain:
mot anything-ws are not giving any
thing today" Knowing DR.. Depew's
love for good dinner, she thought surely
that was case OF good man gone
wrong.
There is good deal of realism in this
presentation of the hard aspects of pow

lous fashion, would ruin himself without
benefting the poor.
There are many persons, themselves
OF most benevolent temperament,
who maintain that indiscriminate aims

and to society. We would by nc means
wish to discourage spontaneous and off

question of the fact that the charity which

REVIVAL OF GOLD MINING.

The depreciation of silver has had the
effect of turning the attention of pros
pectors to the development OF gold mines
all over the coast. A very promising
discovery of gold lodges has just been
made in Arizona, and many of the old
districts that were turning out the yell
low metal years ago, have been carefully
re-prospected with excellent results.
The mines at Keystone, through which
the Nevada Southern railroad passes,
have been very extensively developed,
and are now yielding very satisfactory
returns. The ledges in these districts
are all gold-bearing. There are other
districts which will be made accessible
to the outside world by this railroad
that are very promising in gold veins.
In the old mining territory of California
there is great activity in prospecting,
and shafts are being sunk in large
numbers all along the line of what is
known as the mother lode, that has
been traced from Mariposs to Siski
you. In Amador, Ell Dorado and Ne
vada counties the yield has been
enormous from the mines sunk on the
mother lode. Over one hundred
millions of dollars in gold have been
taken out of an extent of territory in
Amador county that covers but a COM
parativeiy small space. From the Ken
nedy mine near Jackson to the Keystone
mine at Amador, and the intervening
Sutter creek mines, all this vast amount
of gold has been taken out. The de-
mand for the yellow metal now will un-
doubtedly result in unfolding this rich
lode in many places where it has not
heretofore been prospected. Under the
Caminetti act hydraulic mining will
again be resumed as soon as the United
States engineers have perfected their
plans for impounding the debris. The
reopening of this valuable mining in
dustry will add to the annual gold out
put of California at least $4,000, 900.
1t is an ill wind that blows nobody good,
is an old and true saying, and the energy
that is now manifested in prospecting
the known gold measures of this state
will result in great mining revival in
the old placer counties that fourished
in 1849.

is productive of the real alleviation OF
the ills of the more unfortunate portion
of mankind is systemstized charity.
Capricious and impulsive good nature
never accomplishes any real good, and
is not crystalized in any progress to-
wards we'll being to even the recipients.
A generous person, for instance, meets
a man on the street whose legs have
been sawed off, and who is squatting
down on hard, cold and possibly wet
pavement. The natural impulse in any
good d-hearted individual is to ram ones
hand down ones pocket and part with q
greater or less amount OF coin, out OF
sympathy. What is the result? The
poor cripple is tempted to expose him
self until pneumonia carries him off or
until he is wracked by intolerable
rheumatic pains. Real charity would
suggest that the poor wretch shonld not
be encouraged to thus expose himself to
certain pain and calamity.
The World has perhaps done smart
piece of journalistic work in starting q
clever girl reporter off on her rounds OF
Fifth avenue and Madison Square, and
yet there is no lesson in it; or, if there
is, i5 is illustrative of the good sense of
not filling up handsome street with a
crowd OF heggars. There is time and
q place for everything. Systematized
benevolence is needed to conquer the
misery of the world.

Envoy Willis to the secretary OF state are
now known, and that it conveys the in

government to the deposed queen unless
compelled to do 30 by superior force of

YESTERDAY the people of San Bernar

YESTERDAY the people of San Bernar-
dino, Riverside and Redlands were
treated to fall of snow. This ia an un-
usual but not an unprecedented thing.
In Los Angeles, in residence of nearly
twenty years, the writer has seen snow
fan in this city once, but it melted on
contact with the ground. In that year
itrested in snow form for an hour or 80
on the bills back of East Los Angeles.
The children of this city had never seen
snow except on the distant Sierras up to
that time, and the sensation was to
them delightful and novel one. What
was snow in San Bernardino, Riverside
and Redlands was rain in this city, a
brisk shower commencing at noon and
continuing for several hours. A tele-
gram to the HERALD from its San Ber-
nardino agent said that yesterday there
had been hard frost in that section of
the citrus belt. Further information as
to this last fact will be awaited with
great interest. Snow would do no harm
to anything, but a severe froet might
diminish the orange and lemon yield.

eaten. He was killed by indignant
high chiefs who supposed him at first

Captain Cook acted out the deception,
and abused the power he had obtained
over the natives. When the chiefs
realized that he was fraud, they in
duced him to land on the rocky beach
OF Kealakakua bay and killed him. 1t
is tradition that they tore his heart
out and threw it on the road leading
from Keaiakakua bay to Kona, where it
was picked up and eaten by little girl.
Long after the girl had reached woman

OUR GRACIOUS GOOD MASTERS.

Once before in the history of this
country an organized money power un-
dertook for it's own ends to control the
finances of this great government. At
that time fortunately the presidential
chair was occupied by a General jack
con and the scheme failed. The hero of
the Hermitage had long and desperate
day, and at times the contest seemed of
doubtful issue, but fortune at last
turned upon the eide OF the government
and the arrogant institution presided
over by Nicholas Biddle was constrained
to submit to the removal of the public
moneys from it's vaults. But the ma
tional bank of the time of Jackson was
but an infant in comparison with the
many headed concern of our time. The
national banks OF today not only hold
sway in the large cities, but they are
thoroughly entrenched in every village
throughout this broad land.
So firmly and go deeply are they
rooted in the affairs of the couutry that
it may require a stronger man th ten
ersl Jackson to cope with the This
system is one of the inheritance our

be greater disaster. 1t was war

congress, and it has the appearance now
OF being thoroughly ingrafted upon our
institutions. In the action of congress
upon the repeal bill lately passed we
have an exhibition of Its power. With
out the cooperation of the national
banks that measure, 80 unjustly partial
to our foreign creditors, would have
dropped out of sight in an hour. BY
their influence alone, and without a
word of encouragement from the people,
the bill was able to command large ma
jorities in the two houses of congress.
At their dictation the most positive in
functions of party platforms were
trampled under foot.
BY their command and because it was
supposed to be for their interest, one of
the money metals, recognized, in terms,
by our constitution, and by common
consent of mankind accepted as me-
dunn of exchange for thousands of
years, is stricken from our mintage
laws, and this, too. in the face of most
stringent money market, stringency
created by the banks themselves and
for their own selfish ends. People who
do not see in all this good ground for
apprehension of danger to our institu-
tions, are stolid beyond the power Of
words to express.
The press dispatches inform US that
Congressman Springer, chairman of the
committee on banking and currency, is
preparing a bill (Which means that a
bill has been prepared by the banks for
Congressman Springer) authorizing the
banks to deposit, as basis OF their cir
culation, the bonds of states, counties
and municipal corporationa. When
such bill becomes law this nation
may consider the banks as firmly seated
in the saddle, armed with whip and
SPUR, to ride the American people for an
indefinite number OF years.
