d. w. Burnett is the owner OF a piece of
land on the American river, near Salmon
Falls, in El Dorado county. The river bed
there, for 90 or POO yards, had never been
mined Some Chinese made him an offer
to lease this land for mining purposes for
two years, Offering to pay him 500 for
the use thereof This WAS declined. The
Chinese were persistent, though, and af-
ter bartering for awhile Mr. Burnett told
them they could have the land for the
time stated for $3.50, one-half - be paid
in advance and the balance at the end of
the year
The offer was accepted, and Mr. Bur
nett was congratulating himself on his
bargain and considered the SO to have
come into his possession easily.
He was not long in changing his mind.
As soon as the lease was signed the Chi
nese began to work a force of IS or 20
men We're employed by them. 4 wing
dam was built and IA wheel and other APP
paratus put up there, the cost of which
was not over $500 or $500.
About three days after it was rumored
that the mine was producing 81 800 II day.
An investigation disclosed the fact that
the heather had sent away IS, 500 worth
of dust within week after they began
work Several thousand dollars worth
of dust was also disposed of in Chinatown
and handed over to one of the Chinese
merchants here.-Folsom Telegraph.

Father Healey of Bray, one of the very
few avowed Unionist priests in the dis
tressful country, mas been in great form
lately. Known for long while past as
one of the greatest Irish wits, he has fair
ly eXcelled himself during the last few
weeks. The other day an ardent politi-
clan asked his reverence: "What do you
think now, father Mr.. Tim Healy will
be in the first Irish parliament, lord chan
cellor, attorney general or what" "Shure,
he will be very old man." was the re-
ply. AT Corless restaurant the other day
Father iealey's attention was drawn by
the proud proprietor to the fact that Miss
Corless had gained some great distinction
at the Milan Conservative of Music. "And
what are you going to do with your daugh-
ter after all thisY" asked the priest. "Oh
| shall hope TO see her on the operate
stage soon, !" replied Mr.. Corless, who is
the owner Of the most extensive oyster
beds on the Irish coast. "You want to
turn her into an oyster Patti, them" said
Father Healcy, without a moments hest
tation. Paris Herald.

TrauspIantIng Native shrubs.

The beauty Of our native shrubs and their
use rs Towering ornaments for large lawns
becomes more appreciated in each succeed
ing year While the cultivation of our ma
tive wild flowers is becoming very popu-
lar until now it is quite the fashion for all
well shaded lawns to have its treasured
wild woods garden, some of our handsom-
est native shrubs are still neglected.
Many of the early towering varieties
may be safely transplanted, and those in
bloom now may be marked for transplant
ing later, after the flowers disappear. Those
who live in the country seldom realize
their opportunities for home adornment
with these shrubs growing wild only a
short distance from their barren, unculti
waited lawns.-Garden and Forest

Hypocrisy.

He died at night. Next day they came
To weep and praise him; sudden fame
These suddenly warm comrades gave.
They called him pure; they called him brave
One praised his heart, and one his brain;
All said, You'd seek his like in vain
Gentle and strong and good" none saw
In all his character a flaw.
AT noon he Weakened from his trance
Mended; was WE'LL They looked askance;
Took his hand coldly; loved him not,
Though they had wept him; quite forgot
His virtues; lent an easy ear
To slanderous tongues; prOfessed a fear
He was not what he seemed TO be;
Thanked God they were not such as he;
Gave to his hunger stones for bread,
And made him, living, wish him dead.

She stood beneath the mistlctoe
That hung above the door,
Quite conscious of the sprig above,
Revcred by maids of yOre.
A timid longing filed her heart;
Her pulses throbbed with heat;
He sprang TO where the fair girl stood.
May Just one-my sweetY"
He asked his love, who tossed her head,
Just do it-if-you dare!" she said.
He sat before the fireplace
Down at the club that night.
"She loves me not" he holly said,
therefore she did but right"
She sat alone within her room,
And with her finger tips
She held his picture to her heart,
Then pressed 1t TO her lips.
MY loved one!" sobbed she, "if you
cared
You surely would have-would have
dared"

The Old Confederate to His Wooden Leg.
Oh, wooden leg, thou theme of heartless fun
To thoughtless youth, and exc to witless age,
Serene thou'lt stand the shot from ev'ry gun,
Drained by self proved fool or self styled sagel
My faithful leg, with me thou'lt stump around;
All sneers at lameness, age, defeat, thOult
brave,
And when at last all my arms shall ground
ThOult bear me compny even in the grave.
And then some friends as true no doubt as
thou,
But in their showing of it, late, too late
May, weeping, say, as round my grave they
bow,
"Ile was a faithful old Confederate"
When once a Scotchman died, and men on high
y shaft did rear to pay for Sights they'd
shown
poor Burns In life" they heard a woman
sigh,
"Iie lacked for bread. In death they give a
stone!"
Drive not to pastures bare the warworn steed
And wait for death to show regard well
meant.
Some love in life would meet his sorest need
What care the dead for lofty monument

He that holds fast the golden mean,
And lives contentedly between

Nor plaques that haunt the rich mans door,

But stll believe that story false
