HISTORY REPEATED.

Frederic Chopin, the pianist, died at
Paris on October Il, 1S40.
Mozart fell in love with Constance
Weber, a young lady whose chief char
acteristic seems to have been her irdis,
cretion. In one of his letters to her he
objects to her permitting a gentleman
of her acquaintance to pull off her shoe.
He soemnIy remarks: NO young lady
Of proper scnsibilities would have per
mittcd such thing"
The friends OF the national cCnstitu-
ton 1889, took for themselves the title
Of federalsts, and called their opponents
anti-fcderalists. The anti-federalists
insisted that as the new constitution
aimed at more than a federal league, it
contemplated a consolidation Of the
government into half monarchial cen
trail power.
Machines for making raila are Of com
paratiyelv recent invention. Ezekiel
Reed, Of Bridgowatcr, Mass, invented

Bryan's Eulosy on Colleague.

In "The First Battle Mrs. Mary Baird
Bryan, gives brief biography of her
distinguished husband from which the
NelrS excerpts the following:
"At II he became member Of the
Cumberland Presby terrain church. Later
he joined the First Presbyterian church
of Lincoln, to which he still belongs. 1t
may not be amiss at this point to quot @
from an eulogy which Mr.. Bryan de-
livered upon colleague in the fifty,
third congress. This extract will serve
double purpose, in that it gives his
views upon mortality, and, at the same
time presents passage which ] think
may without improperly be called fin
ished bit of English:
81 shall not believe that even now his
light is extinguished. II the Father de
signs to touch with divine power the
cold and puseless heart of the buried
acorn, aud make it burst forth from ite
walls, will he leave neg lected in the world
the soul Of man, who was made in the
image of his Creator? II he stoops tC
give to the rosobush, whose withered
blossoms float upon the breeze, the
sweet assurance of another springtjm
will he withhold the words OF hope from
the sons OF mon when the frosts Of winter
como? If matter. mute and inanimate,
though changed by the forces of nature
into multitude OF forms, can never die
will the imperial spirit Of men suffer an.
Inhalation after it has paid n brief visit
like royal guest, to this tenement OF
clay
Rather lot ns believe that he who, in
His apparent prodigslity, wastes not the
raindrop, the blade Of grass, the even.
ipe's sighing zephyr. but makes them all
to carry out His eternal plans, has given
immortality to the mortal, and gathered
to himself the generous spirit of our
friend.
"Instead of mourning, let us look up
and address him in the words OF the
poet
The day has come, not gone;
The sun has risen, not set;
Thy lie is now beyond
The reach OF death or charge,
Not ended-but begun,
0, noble soul! 0, gentle heart Hail
and farewell ~

placed before them There have been a
great many mistakes made by foreign
ers in this state OF late-not so much in
taking hold OF poor properties and los
ing money, but in refusing to buy good
nines at the prices asked-mines which
have turned out worth much more than
tho prices placed on them,
Most OF tho big paying properties in
this state today are old mines which
we're abandoned for many years. The
California miners have learned that
with the reduced cost OF working these
mines IN which old ore bodies are known
to exist, but are covered with water, are
the safest investment and are putting
money into them. The Englishman can
not SO easily be led into putting money
into what has been failure and has not
yet learned that the cause of the failNres
has been in most cases higher wages,
heavier freights, greater cost for sup
plies and smaller percentage Of gold
saved in the days gone by. Some of the
leading mines of the s!ate-the Utica,
Kennedy, Gwln, Dead Horse, and many
Of the big mines in Nevada county
have all been abandoned for time, not
from want Of ore but because Of cost OF
working - Mining and Scientific Press.
