movements were so uncertain; and for
other and less good reasons, so were
Elizabeth's.
The expedition had been so far sue
cessful, and already firm foundation
was laid for the fame and fortune Joe's
soul craved. As the second year drew
to close Elizabcth's letters ceased al
together, and Mary (she was Mrs. Mar.

Joe, knowing his lady love OF old,
was not so overcome as he might have
been by this report He determined
to see how matters were for himself.
He was intrusted with letters to the
Government, aud though his modesty
had kept the fact so far from being
generally known, he was made man.
Upon reaching Montreal, he found
his way without delay to the stately
home Of Elizabeth's uncle.

the Matching of ducks is concerned.
AS many as 500 sitting hens are used
on some farms for this purpose They
are set, in small houses with the nests,
around the sides in tiers, each nest
having his own lattice daor. Each
day, in the morning, the bens are
taken from the nests au1 fed and
watered on the floor of the house.
They are taken down in limited num-
bers-sections, as it were-at time,
aud after they have had food, drink
and little exercise, they are put back

plucked for market, are pumped

IL is worthy of note that the COM
parative lowness of standard of the
gold is, under the existing conditions.
in favor of the view that the placer
gold is derived from the erosion
of auriferous quartz lodes formerly
existing at higher level, and has not
been formed in stu by being deposited
from solution. For, according to
those who support the former view,
placer gold becomes of higher standard
than reef gold after it has found its
way into the drifts, the base metals
being gradually removed by the solvent
action of running water, in WHICH gold
is not readily soluble. Since, howev-
err, the Klondike gold has been frozen
up during large part of the time
since it was deposited in the gravel, it
is obvious that it cannot have altered
i'll composition so much as the gold in
river sands further south, and might
be expected to resemble tee gold in
the parent lodes, which is not usually
more than 800 fine. The low standard
of the gold is not so readily accounted
for by the accretion theory of formation
of placer gold. Some auriferous veins
have already been discovered both in
the creek valleys and on the mountains
round them, although no direct evil
dence has yet been adduced to connect
these lodes with the sources of the
placer gold. Moreover, many nuggets
have been found adhering to quartz,
so that the weight of evidence appears
to be in favor of the view that the gold
In these placers, Mt any rate, has been

"Bess, I'm going away to win fame

Can you trust me, Joe? You don't

But the hour was Joe's; he held on
masterfully, saying Mt the same time:
"Oh, yes, let me take it for granted?"
And he slipped an emerald ring on
her finger which she knew was about
his only heirloom. There was be-
witchment perhaps in the green CLEAN

charm; be that as it may, she did let
him take her hand-for granted-and
something else besides. All, picture

Some Late improvements.

notwithstanding the cry of dull
times; tie saw and hammer can be
heard in our little city-sounds
which are The true barometer OF
prosperity. True, there are 10 large
or imposing buildings being erected
at present, but many small houses
are being built, additions and re-
pairs to private residences.
Prominent among these improve
nents is that just made by our enter
prising citizen, Col. II. NJ. Field, in
the shape of a comlnodious sitting
room added to his residence on the
North side of town. The addition is
built Of brick, from his own kilns-
he holds the pa!ni for having the
best brick plant OH the lower Rio
Grande. The general construction is
plain, in keeping with his other
buildings, more with q view OF
comfort than ornament. All win
dows are box frames. extending TO
the floor, door frames to match, with
neat panel doors and transoms. The
halls are plastered, hard finish, and
wainscotihg in natural wood, with
hard oil finish. The chimney is
adorned with handsome marbleiz-
ed mantel from a noted Louisville
house
The colonel sits quite cozy in his
new quarters, the wallis of which
are adorned with pictures of his
numerous relatives, the most prom
inent amongst whom are his uncles,
Chief Justice and Cyrus w. Field !:
Here the colonel receives lis friends
and entertains them most cordially.
HIS hospitality is proverbial. X.
