Camp FIopd District.

Msrcur June 10. THE appearance
at Capt. DsLamer's Golden Cato mine
Of . lrage corps of experts indicates
that the second stage in the nsgotia
tions for the purchase of this and othor
properties by foreiga syndicate has
been reached. Some weeks ago the
Mining Review published statement
from New York, setting forth that,
Capt. DeLamsr had gone to England
for the purpose of meeting by appoint
msnt the representatives of a ~ Indicate
that had been formed for the purp &c
of purchasing a large portion of the
Camp Floyd district, and the reasons
BILE inference is that the experts now
on tho ground were sent by the syndi-

tically the Same association of capital
that has acquired coutrol af tho Ana
conda mine, and Mr.. Hamilton Smith
ID expected to arrive soon for the
purpose of making an examination In
dependent of that now being sondust-

cover the Golden Gate and East Col

that the owners of the Jons' Tonar2~

interest in tho East Golden Gate are
said to have fixed valuation of be-
tween 30 and so cents per share on
their stock, tho total capitalization
being GOO, 900 shares.
Whatever the ultimate result of tho
negotiations, it will be weeks before
conclusions are reached. There are
10, 200 feet of workings, all in ore and
- samples are being taken every fif-
teen feet, this alone will consume much
time. The tests are made under tho
direction of . metallurgical expert
sent from England for this purpose.
The successful termination of these
negotiations would exert q beneficial
influence on the Camp Floyd district
by attracting wide attention to its
mines.

Long Game of Dominoe..

Two men in a Boston club have been
for the last six years playing a contin-
uous game of dominoes. They have no
regular time for playing, and go to the
club with no particular intention of re-
Stunning the game, but when both hap
pen to be there with spare time on their
hands they commence at the point
where they left off. The stake for
which they play is small, but one of the
two is already far ahead of the other.
He is, in fact, $1,000 ahead, and, as no
limit has been set for the game, this sum
is still subject to the hazards Of sport,
and the loser has not lost hope of re-
coupling himself. Most Of the playing.
is done. in the late afternoon and the
diversion is continued as 4 relief from
the uncertainty of falling into the club
and finding nothing engrossing to do.
With the dominoes at hand and the
81 500 depending upon its outcome, this
casual game is regarded as fulfilling its
work very successfully. = Chicago

THE STRANGER WE TOOK NOT IN.

She dwelt among us for year;
Scarce thought we gave her, but tear
Dropped down from many a wistful eye
The day that she lay down to die.
Alone, neglected, friendless, drear,
She turned to God for help and cheer.
Then sank amid the city'S din
The stranger whom we took not in.
Until she died we never knew
How grand the work she lived to do,
And died in doing; nor how faint
She was who uttered no complaint.
She did her duty, sought no praise,
Through weary nights and painful days,
Each day she grew more pale and thin
The stranger whom we took not in.
But when she died we knew her worth,
And how her life had sweetened earth;
We learned how she for love had longed,
We guessed how greatly we had wronged
The heart that hungered for our care,
And sighed our weary load to share;
But hardly kindness could she win
The stranger whom we took not in.
So wrapt were we in our own ways.
Our busy round of pleasant days,
We let her struggle all alone.
Uncheered by tender look or tone.
We did not mean thus cold to be,
But, all, we never thought you see.
May God forgive our cruel sin
The stranger whom we took not in.

peared to be about as necessary as 4
shipment of antidotes for frost-bite to
the Hottentots.
Sleeping over the matter gave me no
fresh light upon it, nor was 1 the wiser
for my pains for many a day there
after; but at last chance, the much ex-
planning, furnished the clew.
/ had tarried at the house on the
knoll unusually late that afternoon,
and the sun was setting as began my
v ak homeward. 1t had been a clear,
pleasant day, with a good deal of
warmth in the sunshine, although
autumn was now far advanced; but as
the evening came on the air grew chilly
end the brisk off-shore breeze took on
touch OF the approaching winter.
With turned-up coat-collar and hands
buried in my pockets, I stepped out
hriskly on the tramp homeward, rather
'econci1ed at the moment to the slen-
derness of a practice which guaranteed
me an undisturbed evening. With book
and pipe and an easy-chair, and a
bright fire, several hours could be
passed very delightfully."-, with the stiff
breeze whistling through the tree-tops
and signaling warnings to good folk
within doors to keep snugly under COW

there came fierce gust which almost
sent me staggering back. My hat. torn

mirably as an Office. soon had my den
fitted up in a way to excite considerable
local admiration. a few books, couple
of anatomical charts and some Walls of
drugs were disposed to the best adj
vantage to impress patients with the
mysteries of the healing art.
In its beginning my practice in Rod
neytown was much like an early spring
in New England promise than
realization. A daily visit to Lamar was
the basing-point of my routine. AS
rule, it was very brief, though occasion
ally he let me understand that my post
was no siDecure. Now and then he sent
me on trips to Trent. a thriving hive
Of manufactures about 80 miles from
the village. On the first of these jour
neys one of my duties was to mail y
letter to New York banking house;
on the next was informed that large
sum was on deposit to my credit with
the principal bank of the place. Thus,
while my patron kept some control over
the purse-strings, / was the acting pay
master. From first to. last there could
be no charge of niggardliness made
against him; he looked over my ac-
counts now and then, but never ques-
toned their accuracy.
AS he finished his superficial auditing
on one of these occasions, he looked
up and asked, rather abruptly:
1.-THE old fisherman who lives yon-
der-what do you know of him?'
Not much,'' said /, except that his
name is johnson, that he has been in
the navy, and that he has the best of
regulations for honesty
mo more?''
''Well, he and his two brothers who
live with him are an unsociable lot,
who keep much to themselves. There's
no woman with them; they're their
own housekeepers."
81 may buy of their fish. Bid the
eldest to come here tonight. You
need not be present" said he. With his
usual ceremonious bow at parting, he
turned on his heel and stalked upstairs
to his sanctum.
The order was surprising, in view OF
his desire to avoid his neighbors; but,
though it puzzled me, I sought out
johnson and delivered the message.
That night in my coy Office tried in
vain to discover a reason for the inter-
view then going On in the honse on the
knoll. The old fish explanation was
fshy indeed, old Martha, the cook, be-
ing quite able, in spite of her deafness,
to bargain for any supplies for her de-
partment. 1t was improbable that La
mar had any notion of setting Johnson
tc spy upon my doings. for he had
used me as q means OF communicating
with the man, a course he would not
have adopted had he entertained any
suspicious of my faithfulness. It might
be that he desired to arrange for the use
of sloop owned by the brothers, with
an eye 20 the possibility of opening
way of retreat by sea in case his pres
ent stronghold became untenable.
Yes, that seemed to be the most reason
able explanation, although, so far as 1
knew, Lamar was not IN the slightest
danger Of discovery by his enemies.
Such a precaution at that time APP
