Relation Of Lodes and Placers.

1t happens sometimes that placers are
found where there are no lodes, and vice
versa. And regarding this matter a re-
cent mining authority says we hear it
now frequently with reference to the new
deposits of the Yukon. In this case it
is almost q matter of surmise. because
there has not been yet any general ex-
ploration of lodes there, attention hav-
ing been concentrated naturally upon the
easily worked placers. and prospecting in
the hills being difficult for various rea-
sons. There may be workable veins of
gold quartz above the placers and there
may not. There are vague reports as to
the existence of some, but it does not
follow necessarily either in the Yukon or
elsewhere, that where there are placers
there are workable lodes.
A placer deposit of gold or tin is nat
ural concentrator of mineral that existed
in solid rock. The erosion of wind and
water acting through immeasurab BILE time
has worn down the earth's surface in
many places to a marvellous extent. In
this kind of disintegration stable min

United States Attitude Causes a
Sensation in Madrid.
OVER CONFIDENCE IN WEYLER
The General Impression at Madrid is That
the Spanish Government VIII Try to
Drag Negotiations Along, Unless 1t
Rejects Uncle Sans Good Offices.

The attitude of the United States
has caused a great sensation at Mad
rid, because opinion has been lured ON
by the optimistic communications OF
the Spanish minister at Washington
upon the character and duration of
the correct attitude of the unlted
States government, and that, too, de-
spite several warnings from Mr.. Oh
ney and Mr.. Cleveland's message.
The official bulletins of Captain Gen
eral Weyler have also received too
much confidence, when the United
States every month was receiving
from its consuls and special ENJOYS
totally different news.
The general impression at San Sc
bastian and Madrid is that the Span
ish government will try to drag nego-
tiations along, unless it rejects purely
and simply the good offices of the
United States, ON the ground of pub
lie opinion and on the further ground
that the opposition would not permit
it to tolerate foreign Intervention, even
though amicable.
The government organs roundly de-
ny that Minister Woodford has men
toned am ultimatum, but the public
mind is not altogether relieved there
by. The policy of the government in
denying and suppressing news and di-
rectly denying the truth of almost
everything in any way unpalatable
must always tend to increase public
uneasineSs.
The use of the word ultimatum is
exaggerated. General Woodford
doubtless expressed himself energetl-
cally, but between this and Skiing a
period of six weeks to end a wide
spread insulrection under pain of tax
ing up the cause of the insurgents
against a friendly power, there is a
very wide distinction, and more es-
pecially so in the present political sit
uation, when a change of government
more or less radical cannot be distant.

New Oriaans.-Eminent physicians
believe that the work of the Board of

been few less than 100 cases and
fifteen deaths. The death rate is IL
the neighborhood OF 10 per cent. 1t
was in 1878 IS per cent, so that up to
the present time the disease is about
as virulent as it was in the last great
epidemic that visited New Orleans.
Mobile-Up to and including Friday
there have been forty-one cases, six
deaths, nineteen discharged and six
teen under treatment. With one or
two exceptions, the sick are doing

ress of the fever toward an epidemic
visitation. Much active work of
sanitary nature is being done by the
city authorities, and new methods of
quarantine and disinfection are about

OF the board.
At Edwards, Miss, the situation is
still growing worse. There have been
1873 cases reported up to Friday, with
only four deaths; A are convalescent,
and 50 under treatment.
AT Biloxi the spreal of the fever IS
not so rapid, though there are new
eases reported daily. There have been
fifty-eight cases to date.
The situation in other infected towns
along the coast remains unchanged,
with a small number of cases develop

LIES SCARS.

They say the world is round, and yet
| often think it square.
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there,
But one great truth in life I've found,
While jOurneying to the west
The only folks who really wound
Are those we love the best.
The man you thoroughly desDise
Can rouse your wrath. tbs true:
Annoyance in your heart will rise
At things mere strangers do;
But those are only passing ills.
This rule all lives will prove
The ranking wound which aches and
thrills
Is dealt by hands we love.
The choicest garb. the sweetest grace
Are oft to strangers shown;
The careless mien, the frOWning face
Are given to our own.
We f1atter those we scarcely know;
We please the fleeing guest:
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those who love us best.
Love does not grow on every tree,
Nor true hearts yearly bloom.
Alas for those who only see
This truth across a tomb.
But soon or late, the facts grow plain
To all through sorrows test
The only folks who give us pain
Are those we love the best.
