VERY ROMANTIC ArrA1R.-A romantic af. fair in Cincinnatti;is noticed by the Gazette, running in this wise: Several years since young married couple mutually agreed, for va. rious reasons, to separate. To accomplish this end the friends of both parties experienced great deal of trouble, as it was apparent to all that the young couple loved each other tender y. A short time after the separation the young man quietly left the city, aud during the long years which have elapsed since that time no one but his family have heard from him. The young lady showed her devotion to her former husband by remaining single until few weeks since, when she was united in the bonds of wedlock to well-known gentleman doing business in this city. One day last week No. returned to Cincinnati, and quietly took

 lodging at a private house, where there were no other boarders save newly married couple The landlady of the house desiring to show some attention to her new boarder invited him into the parlor for the purpose of introducing him to her two guests who were there waiting dinner. She approached saying, Mir. -, allow me to introduce-" Here it ended. and scene ensued which it would be difficult to portray. On turning around, the lady gave shriek and fell to the floor. The landlady and husband No. 2 for a moment could not under. stand the situation in which they were placed but is sufficient to Say that the husband and wife who many years before had been separa. ted were again together. A few moments on- ly were required to explain the matter, and to convince husband No. ? that his fascinating young bride was grass widow. He threaten. ed to leave her, and she rather encouraged him in his threat He did so, and they who were ohce separated were again united, more devo- tedly than ever-and so ended what may truly be called romance in real life.

The numerous failures in quartz mining
in this State, says the Nevada Gazette, have
resulted es much from want of knowledge of


the character of mineral veins as from want
of capital Mineral veins throughout tie
world are alike in their general characters
tics: and to attain success in quartz mining
nothing is more requisite than a knowledge
in which the paying ore is found in the


veins, and perhaps there is no suheet con.
nected with the business in which there is
more ignorance among miners. All mineral
veins contain rich places, sometimes called
/" "chimneys,' but more commonly known


among American miners as ore chutes -


the Mexicans call them bonanzas -
These ore chutes usually commence at or


near the surface are Of greater or less width,
and run down to an indefinite depth. not


vertically, but inclining more or less with


the plane of the ledge. Sometimes they are
only few feet in width. but occasionally


they are found extendinga a distance of several


hundred feet along the ledge. The object Of
every quartz miner should be, first. to find


the ore chutes and then to ascertain their
extent and true direction. As there is fre-
ouentiv no perceptible difference between


the rich and poor rock in a vein, it often re-
quires much skill and labor, and many
practical tests, to ascertain the extent and
direction Of an ore chute but not until this
is done can any approximate estimate be


made Of the value Of mine. Many have
the impression that rich ore is more likelyt to
| be found at a considerable depth below the


surface and the fact that it is sometimes


found in deep shafts or inclines when the


rock is barren above, has tendency to con.


firm this impression with those who have not


studied the true character Of mineral veins.


In other cases, where rich ore commences at


the surface, the rock suddenly becomes


barren as the miner goes down, aud for this


reason some are of the impression that the


best rock is found near the surface. But if


the miner was really aware of the fact, that


the ore chutes commencing at the surface,


run down at an angle with the plane Of the


ledge, hewould have no difficulty in account


ing for the striking of rich rock in one case


and losing it in another When the width


and direction of chute is once found, there


is no difficulty in following it down as deep


as the mine can be proftably worked; per-


haps the best and most certain method of
finding the rich ore is by opening the crop


pings at short distances, or by running tun-


nels along the ledge near the surface, accord


ing to the nature of the ground.

in the State by collecting and furnishing to

capital and enterprise in their Development

Of the country at large. Members pay five
dollars initiation fee, and ten dollars per

that many the " solid men" of the city are
taking an active interest in the Bureau, one
prominent firm alone supplying five life
members 1t is an enterprise calculated to
do much good for the State, ard should be
warmly encouraged by all.

MEXICAN LoDE.-A fine specimen of the
wealth of this lode was brought into town on
Saturday last. 1t was ball of retorted gold,
weighing at least an ounce. obtained from a
piece of quartz about the size of man :
fist. Here is another illustration of the
enterprise of our citizens. 1t being in keep
ing with the general rule, We give it; the
exceptions are generally quoted as gold pro-
ducers in our columns:


Some five years since Mexican known as
Ambrosio discovered the lode in question,
at Old Diggings, about seven miles from this
place. The old man for small sum parted
with four-ffths Of the claim-eight hundred
feet-and since then he has lived near it,
making as good living as be wanted, by
digging at intervals, and crushing in 4 hand
mortar, rock from the lode. He had this
privilege from all, in consideration of his
living near or on the lode to keep off Jump
ers." From the best information within our
reach, we are induced to believe that the
whole work done on the lode in the five years
could be done by two men in day. And
this is quartz mining l-developing the re-
sources of the county, and encouraging the

tach or be Of avail. On the other hand, if those
conditions were subsequent, that is, If it were
declared that the pardon should be void II the
party ever spoke the truth, or If he did not
commit murder, or II he should eat or sleep,
the pardon would attach and be valid, ana the

the pardon. This great and sovereign power
OF mercy can never be used as cover for i'm
moral or illegal conduct


As pardon presupposes that an offence has
been committed, and ever acts upon the past,
the power to grant 1t never can be exerted as
an immunity or license for future misdoing. :

the repentant offender.
