| The lovely Clara revived shortly, and.
opening her eyes shut them again with a
great scream. She was in the den of the
African gorilla. There was more faint
ing, and more anguish on the part OF
Jack, who cursed his luck and his folly
together. 'It's Jack it's only Jack be
cried with real agony as he tore off his
mask. and the young lady, slowly re-
turned to her senses, once more opened
her eyes and beheld her lover, a real Af-
rican gorilla from his chin downward,
but possessing very resolute yet anx-
ious human head-very like Jack Gales,
with the scalp and grinning jaws of the
detunct monster hanging behind his ears.
This was an extraordinary situation :;
a nice young lady in strange garret,
confronted by an erratic young man in
semi gorilla costume his countenance
flushed with excitement and exercise his
eyes wild with anxiety and alarm, his
whole manner that of person who is in
state of utter quandary. The truth of
history compels me to record the fact
that Miss Clara Coriander threw up her
hands and laughed as she would die. Sine
was sensible girl, and liked good
joke. Old Coriander's plans were laid
bare to her clear vision in one moment :
she saw through the whole trick and
laughed in the face of the astonished Mr..
Gale


oh, Jack she said, as soon as she
could recover her breath, how could you
be such IA fool Where am l. How
shall | ever get home Oh, oh, OH
TO all Of which Jack could only reply by
nstallments. But, by secluding the
young lad on the stairway, he succeeded
in preparing for their return to the Co.
riander mansion. Through the half-de-
serted streets the young couple went i'll
different guise from that in which they
had before astonished those who saw them
flee. The gorilla delivered up the old
mans daughter and was glad to be told
that the menagerie, not quite ruined,
must needs be closed for a few months
for repairs.


Ihe show opened again III due season
with new attractions, under the manage
ment Of Coriander and Gale. But in all
the lines OF cages OF rare beasts, no Atri-
can gorilla was to be found. In lieu
thereof they showed Il handsomely stuffed
skin of the much lamented beast which
came TO an untimely end in Consequence
of Il cold caught by exposure at the great
mcnagerie fire. Coriander's heart reeni-
ed when Jack saved his daughter from
the burning building, and he found his
inventive genius invaluable in his show
business.

PROSPECTING FOR QUARTz.-Mr. Phelps, to whom
we referred last week as being engaged in pros
pecting the quartz in this vicinity, informs US
that there is little doubt of rich mineral deposits
in West Weaver mountain. Rock found by him
and tested by imperfect working assays yielded
at the rate of fifty dollars per ton in silver, be-
sides disclosing the presence o: bismuth and
plumbago in paying quantities. The formation
is what is called pseudo morpheus quartz, the
float rock containing platina and tellurium. 1t
is his opinion that u fair test will demonstrate
the existence of the precious metals, almost al
our very doors, beyond the imaginings of the
most sangune of our citizens. The formation
of company for the purpose of thoroughly
testing the question is seriously talked of and an
organization will be effected soon. There can
be no doubt that there is rich mineral belt
ranging through the county. The character Of


our placer mines establish this fact. What We
need is, practical energetic prospectors, familiar
with the primitive formations in which the
precious metals are found To all SUCH Trinity

Special DeIpatch 10 The Evening Telegraph,


WASHINGTON, Feb. Is.
General Grant OmeiaIIy Notified of HIS


Election.


The joint committee appointed to wait upon
General Grant and notify him OF his election as
President of the United States, discharged the
duty assigned to them this morning at ii o'5lock,
at the army headquarters.


Governor MOrtOn's Address.


Governor Morton, Chairman of the Commit
tee, addressed Grant, announcing that they had
been appointed as q committee on the part OF
Congress to present him with his commission as
President. He said the result of the election
had been extremely gratifying, and the people
firmly believed that he would bring to the dis
charge OF the duties of his high Office the same
energy, integrity, and patriotism that had char
acterized him in his former sphere OF useful
ness,


General Grants Response.


General Grant, in reply, said;-In accepting
the high office conferred upon him by his
countrymen, he desired to assure them that he
would call around him men who could carry
out the principles which the country desired to
be successful, which were economy, retreDcb-
ment, and the faithful collection of the revenue;
and If those persons did not perform their
duties, be would not hesitate to supply their
places with those who would perform their
duties successfully. He would remove his own
appontees as soon as those Of his predecessor.
He had not announced his Cabinet up to the
present time, but had intended to do 60 after
his official notification; bat after careful
consideration he had come 10 the conclusion
not to make public the names Of those he should
invite, not even to the parties selected, until he
should transmit their names to the Senate, be-
there may not be a man in the country, iinamed
for the position In the Cabinet but who would
be assaled by great pressure brought to bear
by the friends Of various parties. If not
satisfied with his first appointment, he would
not hesitate to make second one.
Representative PrHyn's Pledge.


Mr.. Pruyn said that, although differing from
General Grant and the party he represented, he
would give his administration cordial and
hearty support.

The Hancock Jeffersonian, OF
9Th inst, gives the following good
piece of advice to boys, which we
commend to our young readers:


While on our way to our office
last Tuesday evening, our attention
was attracted by trio ofboys, who
had stationed themselves at Patter-
sons corner, and were amusing
themselves by pelting passers-by
with snow balls. The boys-who,
for this time, at least, shall be name
less-very kindly refrained from
throwing at US, and for this mark
of kindness on their part, we pro-
pose to give them few kind words
Of advice, which we hope they will
take in the same spirit in which it is
given. We feel an interest in boys.
We were boy once-an orphan
boy-but not friendless one-for
we have always endeavored since we
were compelled to "paddle our own
canoe" to so conduct ourselves as
to have the good will and respect of
all with whom we come in contact.
Never lose an opportunity to make a
friend, if you can do SO with honor
to yourselves. Never indulge in
any sport that will infringe upon the
rights or give pain to others. New
er lose an opportunity of gaining
information. This you can do by
associating with those who are well
informed. A better method is that
of reading useful books. No boy is
so poor but what he can obtain
books-and good books are the
best friends boy can have. While
it is very essential that you should
have plenty of outdoor air and
exercise, you will yet have much,
which will go to loss unless you are
very careful. Improve every mo-
ment of such time. Study diligently
at school and at home, as every new

With smiling eyes and amber hair,
With voiceless lips. yet with breath of prayer

And cross laid down in the dust;
Theres.a smile where never shade comes nov
A nd tears no more from those dear eyes flow,

very rare. We never remember seeing one

The flower Of flowers, for outdoor culture,
we think, is the dahlia; showy, hardy as the
potato, subject to no insects, and constant
bloomer from lst of July till killing frosts. 1t
is South American plant, introduced into Eu-
rope by the Spaniards in 1889, and derives its
name from The Swedish botanist Dahl. In its
culture, il requires much the same treatment
as the potato. Now is the time to ''sprout
them" Put them into a box of earth, moss,
or any substance that retains moisture we'll,
and keep them in any warm place where pota-
toes would sprout, watering frequently. When
the new growth is an inch or two high, with a
sharp, thin knife cut out carefully as large
piece of the root, with one new shoot attached
to it, as possible without injuring the others.
Put each shoot with its root into small box
Of pasteboard or birch bark; fill with good
soil; water we'll every day, and keep them in
a warm sunny place. When all frosts are over
and the ground is Warm-not before the 1st of
June in this climate-set them out where they
are to stand, the roots two or three inches be-
low the surface. As their stocks are very ten
der, they must be cons family well staked. At
first any light sticks will do; but by the time
they are in flower, as they will be three or four
feet high, with heavy, bushy tops, they must
be well tied to strong stakes, as firmly set as
bean poles To see fine dahlia all shattered
by wind and storm is painful sight-only ex-
cecded by that other sad and unnecessary
thing-a line of clothes tattered by the wind,
