FOR THE MINES.
GarbOr and Avon Off with Provisions etc., for the May Group in the Swiss,
 helms.

Yesterday a very attractive mining outfit on our streets was much ad :
 mired and discussed. It belonged 10
 Wm. Garber and Thos. Avon, and consisted of two large Studebaker
 wagons loaded with provisions an d some mining necessaries prepar- atory to starting tor the Elines in the Swisshelm mountains belonging to the above named parties. Messrs. Garber and Avoa are the parties who recently purchased a group of mines h the Swissheim mountains, and judging from their pleased expressions evidently have a bonanza. They could not be induced 10 state any thing in regard 10 its richness or ex- tent, merely stating thst i've are sat- ished." They have six men constant ly employed and are considering the erection of mill at the mines, which is surrounded by plenty of wood and water. They came to this city expect ing to meet brother of the former gentleman from Baltimore, but let ter received states he will not arrive until the first Of next month At which time they will again visit us. They were accompanied by several miners and two extra saddle horses followed the wagons. These gentlemen are prepared for vigorous and thorough work on their properties this summer, and as the proprietors are practical miners we look for startling results of tbeir labor. in q very short time.

PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY. interesting Description of Sights at Washington as
 Told by the Arizona
 Delegate.
WAsHiNoToN, D. C., May 24.

The great general assembly, the iooth in the history of the Presby- terian church, is now in session. Members are here from Tennessee. In diana, Arkansas, Iowa, California, and many other states, including few rom New York and Penusylvania.
 A very pleasant feature of the as- sembly Is the courteous regard paid to 1t by the daily press of the city. I counted fifteen desks for reporters. in- ciuding the different church papers and some secular papers not published in Washington. A Washington paper says; "rhe assembly is representa- tive of the learning, the eloquence and the vigor of the great Presby terian church."
 The number of delegates is nearly six hundred. They are distributed through the hotels and homes of the city.
 The x. I. Ave. church contains a relic oi President Lincoln, the very pew in which he used to cit when he worshipped. IL has been brought to the church and set up again as sac red relic exhibited in honor of the as- sembly.
 While talking of relics reminds me that went with twelve hundred ex- cursionists to Mi. Vernon to see the historic homs of George Washington. IL is beautiful spot; graceful lawns sloping toward the river, and the old mansion with it's stately porch. We saw not only his tomb, but clothes which he once wore, his sword, 8 chair from Laiayette's old home, and the very room in which Washington died. SuCh things quicken our real iza,ion of Washington, not only as an ideal hero bu; real flesh and blood man. Respectfully,

The Latter Presented an Argument That

 'You teach" said Emperor Trajan to q famous rabbi, that your God is everywhere, and boast that he resides among your nation. I should like to sec hirl.''
 Gods presence is indeed every where. the rabbi replied; but he can not be seen, for no mortal eye can look upon his splcndor."
 The emperor. with the obstiracy of power, persisted in his demand.
 well" answered the rabbi, suppose that we begin by endeavoring to gaze at one of his ambassadors"
 Ira jan asscnted. and the rabbi, lead ing him into the open air (for it was the noon of the dayl, bade him raise his eyes to the sun, then shining down upon the world in all its meridian glory. The emperor made the attempt, but rclinquished it.
 Fl cannot" he said, "the light dazzles me"
 If, then," rejoincd the triumphant rabbi, thou art unable to endure the light of one of his creatures, how canst thou expect to behold the unclouded glory of the Creator?'' - Pittsburgh Chronicle

A HANDFUL OF CHAFF.

THE easiest way for a man to pack a trunk is to get his wife to do it.
 IF some of our heads were not so big our hearts would hold more love.
 THERE are still some men on earth who keep the devil on the keen jump every minute.

 THERE is something wrong with the mans head who falls down on the same banana skin twice.
