WITH THE WIND.
Mexican Miners Separated the Gold from

Mexican Miners Separated tn" Gold from
the Sand.
Riding near the little placer mining
settlement Dolores, in New Mexico,
said a returned tourist, according to
the New York Sun, saw two Mexi-
cans dry washing for gold, and their
proceeding struck me as novel and in
teresting. They were at work in dry
gulch, without sign of water in
sight, and had brought the auriferous
sand in baskets to the mouth Of the
ravine, where the wind blew strongly
down the valley. Their washing ap-
paratus consisted of heavy army
blanket, in the center Of which they
placed about peck of the sand; then,
each Mexican taking hold Of the
blanket by the corners, they tossed the
sand high aloft again and again.
The wind blew away the fine sand,
while the heavier particles with the
gold fell straight back into the blanket.
When at last they paused there re-
mained in the blanket a double hand
full Of gravel and heavy sand, in which
glittcrcd few yellow specks of gold.
AS we rode on my Mexican driver told
me that the two men were probably
making three or four dollars day
during the time they worked, but
that as soon as they had made their
"clcan up they would go into Santa
Fe or Cerrillos, sell their gold dust
and squander the last nickel they had
in whisky and monte before they would
go back to the gulch to work.

Joe jefferson is q careful actor, but
once in Chicago he overdid one portion
of his performance. He was playing
Rip Van Wrinkle, and went to the thea

days fishing on the lake. AS the cur

Rip still deep in the twenty years nap.
Five, ten, twenty minutes passed and
he did not waken. The audience began
to get impatient and the prompter un-
easy. The great actor doubtless knew
what he was about, but this was carry
ing the realistic business too far. The
fact was that all this time jefferson
was really sleeping the sleep of the
just, or rather of the fisherman who
had sat eight hours in the sun. Final
ly the gallery became uproarious, and
one of the ''gods" wanted to know if
there was going to be nineteen years
more of this snooze business" At this
point jefferson began to snore. This
decided the prompter, who opened a
small trap beneath the stage and began
to prod Rip from below. The tagged
comedian fumbled in his pocket for an
imaginary railway ticket and muttered
drowsily: "Going right through, due

audience was transfxed with amaze

up with loud shrek, evidently in

Fate of an Importation Into Great Britain
of an American DeIicacy.
An American woman who is married
to an English squire of high degree
tells the following funny story of the
fate of half dozen canvasback ducks
which she had sent to England as a
latter was an excellent housellccper
and had professed herself to be anx-
ious to taste the renowned trans-At-
lantic dainty which she had heard so
extravagantly praised. Carefully
packed in ice, the game arrived in good
condition, and Lady M, the recipi-
ent, invited couple of friends to par
take of the much-vaunted delicacy.
"Fancy my feeling" said the pretty
American, describing the affair after
ward, when a pair of ducks were
brought on the table done to death
and stuffed with onions, sage and pota-
toes, while my father-in-law, carefully
carving up the entire bird, legs, wings
and all, distributed the portions to a
party Of six! could have shed tears,
and the climax was reached when,
after enduring disappointed and disap-
proving looks on the part of the guests,
my belle mere remarked: Il must say,
Margaret, that l rather prefer our
English duckling to your canvasbacks.
1 could not tell her that it was the
atrocious cooking and stupid carving
that had destroyed the chief of all
game birds. However, the ducks were
there and they had to be disposed of,
and the next day had the pleasure of
eating q pair of my canvasbacks en-
salmi, while the others were actually
ended up in pie! 1t is needless to re-
late the modification suffered or the
vows made never again to introduce
American dainties to British palntes.'

THE PLAYHOUSE.

A little girl in playhouse played,
Beneath the old apples spreading shade;
The claybanks that furnished her playhouse Q
walls
Faded away into palace halls.
Her broken china and bits OF glass
Were silver plate; the soft green grass,
A Brussels carpet-and whoe'er tread
A softer carpet than nature spread!
Her doll was prin,ess, herself was queen.
A fairor one was scarce ere seen:
With her soft blue eyes and sunny hair,
Her rosebud lips and brow SO fair.
Her household care adds queenly grace
To her childish form; across her face
A trouble fits for dollish Ills
The mothers heart with pity fills.
o, fair young playerl We oft have thought
Our play more serious, the ends we sought
To be more noble and yet, trow.
Our work seems childish to the angels now.

Russia, who has seven rows of pure

NAPoLeoN's GRAND REVIEWS.
The Last Was at the Beginning Of the
Hundred Days. Campaign,

AhC LoBt NvaS ~ tue IptRhnuihS VI ShO
Hundred Days Campaign.
It was customary with Napoleon to
review his troops frequently even in
time of peace, and always before a
great battle. These events sometimes
assumed the name of "grand reviews"
and were held in the public squares Of
Paris. The last Of these, says the Chi
cago Herald, was on the Goth of March,
1916, in the Place du Carrousel, on the
anniversary of the birth of the king of
Rome. and included all the troops then
in Paris. 1t was the beginning of the
famous ''hundred days" of Napoleon.
The emperor having passed through
every rank, the regiments formed them
selves into square battalions, and were
addressed in these words: Soldiers, l
returned to France with only twelve
hundred men, because I relied upon
the love of the people and the remem-
brance of me cherished by the veteran
troops. / have not been deceived in
my expectations; thank you soldiers.
The glory of all that is achieved is en-
tirely due to the people and yourselves.
My only merit consists in having justly
appreciated you. We are on the point
of marching to drive from our territory
the auxiliarics of foreign princes; the
nation will no doubt second our en-
deavors and follow our impulse. The
French people and myself rely upon
you. We will not mcddlc with the af-
fairs of other nations, but woe be to
those who interfere with us. If they
have six hundred thousand men we
can oppose them with two million"
During the whole of the address,
which was somewhat extended, the en-
thusiasm of the soldiers was every
where apparent, and at it's conclusion
their expressions of appreciation were
reiterated for several minutes. just as
the review terminated, lady, very
elegantly dressed, made her way
toward the emperor, bearing u sealed
package in her hands which she pre-.
sented to him, requesting that ii
might not be opened until his return
to the palace. 1t was afterward under
stood to contain bank bills to a con.
siderable amount, the tribute of an un
known patriot in support of her coun
try and the cause of the emperor.

could speak French and German, and

John Sherman appears just
now before the public in a most
nnenviable role. The insinua-
tions and unjust reflections con-
tanned In his book is a fitting
climax to his long life of perfidy.
Honored as but few men have
been honored by his fellows, he
has wantonly betrayed the inter
ests of his countrymen. Elevat-
ed to the highest legislative
position within the gift of tho
people by reason of the franchise
of freemen, he has enslaved the
masses and compelled them to
do homage to foreign autocrats
and the money monarchs of the
old world. Crowned with great
influence, authority and power
by the sovereign people, he has
spurned the people and withered
the willing hands that placed the
coronal upon his head. Retained
in Office for many years by vir.
tue of the ballot. he has spat
upon the elective franchise and
established a money despotism
more dangerous to American
principals, American perpetuity
and American supremacy than
the combined armies and navies
of all Europe. Lacking but a
few votes of securing the nomin-
alton for president of the United
States in 1880. under the able
and jealous management of Jas
A. Garfield, he now wanders out
to the cemetery and goes down
into the tomb like the vandal
that he is to desecrate the grand
memory of the martyred presi-
dent. 1t is certainly no calamity
to the American people thatJohn
Sherman has passed his allotted
three score and ten, which prob
ably accounts for the imbecility
displayed in his book. The final
passing of this man from the
scenes OF his cold blooded perfdy
will bring many a sigh of relief
from thousands Of once happy
bosoms his .chicanery has made
sad.
