Colonel Robert Ingersoll was asked
few days ago to give his ideas on family
government, and replied: II havn't any.
l don't believe in family government. I
don't correct my children at all. warn
them of the consequences of evil habits,
but I tell them they could never do any
thing bad enough to cause me to hate or
disown them. keep pocket-book in
drawer, and they 60 and help them
selves to money whenever they want it.
They eat when they want to and what
they want to. They may sleep all day
II they choose and sit up all night if they
desire. don't attempt to coerce them
in any way. I never punish, never
scold. They buy their own clothes and
are masters of themselves. Iteach them
that everything we have we own in COM
mon; it is just as much theirs az mine.
Here's sample of the way handle my
children: One of them got valuable
illustrated book one day and marked it
and tore it. I came in and asked the
little girl who did it. She said i did
it, 1 took her and kissed and Rugged
her and gave her lots of good advice.
she never troubled me since. If my
children lie, I tell them. Bless your
soul, I've lied myself thousand times,
but never made anything by it, I tell
you lying don't pay. Don't claim be-
fore your children to be any better thar
you are. Be honest with your children
il you want them to be honest witt
you."

OPERATIONS ON MONKEY. - Poor
Joss, the well-known baboon in the
Alexandria Palace, who in very docile
manner, and without chloroform, bravely
submitted a week or two ago to the ex-
traction Of two teeth by Mr.. F. s. Mosely,
the well.known dentist of the Strand,
was on Saturday afternoon subjected to
further and more serious operation at
the hands of the same gentleman. The
poor creature had for long time suffered
from necrosis of the lower jaw, and
while the former operation had consider
ably relieved his sufferings, it was neces-
sary to extract two more teeth, together
with an old fang, and to break away a
large piece OF the diseased jaw. Chloro-
form was used and as this is the first in
stance in which it is known to have been
administered to monkey it will be in
teresting to state that the animal is a
rather large individual of his species,
probably from twelve to fifeen years OF
age, that the annsthetic was four min
utes and thirty seven seconds in produc-
ing perfect unconsciousness, and that
the revival took place in about ten min
utes from that time, during which the
operation had been successfully per-
formed. Poor Joss soon recovered his
usual condition, and, after cooling his
face against window pane for few
minutes, quietly rejoined his compan-
ions, apparently little the worse for the
mutilated jaw. and much relieved by the
treatment.-[ London Times.

REMARKABLE CONDUCT OF DoG.-A
Broughty Ferry lady, writing to her friends
from Dublin, gives account of a strange oe-
currence by which her husband was saved
from being run down in a ferryboat The
gentleman was just about to step into the
ferryboat to cross the river, when large
retriever rushed upon him, caught hold OF
his trousers with its teeth, and at the same
time kept up constant howl. 1t was only
after considerable difficulty that he could
get himself released, and by that time the
ferryboat had been showed off into the
river. The gentleman naturally felt much
annoyed at being prevented from crossing
but his feelings were changed when a min
ute later, he saw the ferryboat run down
by steamer which had approached with
out noticing the boat. The passengers were
thrown into the water. but fortunately,
the crew of the steamer were successful in
saving them ALL some being very much ex-
hausted however While thinking of the
singular means by which he had been
saved from the accident, the gentleman
could not hel p noticing the conduct of the
dog which followed closely at his heels.
He tried every means to get rid of it dur
ing the day, but in the afternoon the ani-
NAL was still following him, and he was
obliged to take it home with him. The dog
has now been installed as watchman of the
house, aud mas already shown great attach
ment to the gentleman and his family.

EDITOR CITIzEN:-I did not think that would ever again have occasion to speak of the would-be experts from California, who infest our districts for the reputed purpose of investing in our mines, but in reality their sole object, as it appears to us miners, is to prevent capital from entering the Terri tory, by reason of their false and un- founded reports; the query goes forth, what the devil do they mean? and as yet remains unanswered. In December last, we had few of those pirates in the Globe, they visited few mines and returned In a hurry to Florence and reported unfavorably of the whole dis trict, having seen but few of the mines, they yet have the hardihood to report on the whole without knowing. If you were to ask either of those experts what they know about the Hannibal, the Democrat, the Great Eastern and several others Gin my hum- ble opinlon) valuable mines, their an swer would be that they had not seen either of them, but that they can't amount to much. The people of Cali fornia must loose confidence in those land pirates as we have done long ago, when they learn that in he face of the false reports of the would-be experts our mines are, and have always been lgood The Hannibal mine, which is

 the first northeast extension of the Stonewall Jackson, has within the past thirty days been proven to be a good and valuable property, the main shaft at depth of seYenty-three feet shows a body of ore six feet in width, which will average over $20O per ton, some thlnk it will go more, but the owners say $2OO is good enough. MT. Flour ney, the principal owner, intends to erect reduction works at the mine, thereby saying the expense of shipping the ore. The mine has been incorpOr- lated under the name of the Hannibal Silver Mining Company, the company Is we'll satisfied with it's property and do not propose to offer any of the stock for sale for some time to come, or at least not until the ledge has been l prospected on the northeast end of the claim, the developments heretofore

 made being on the southwest end.

 The Democrat mine, which is the first northeast extension of the Little

 Mac Is about to be opened up by its . owners, Messrs Tourney & Akins

 Up to the present time there has been very little done towards developing

 the mine, still there has been about

 $15, 900 realized from the ore extracted P by the original owners. The cost ol

 extraction being less than 5000. MT 9 Tourney owns two-thirds of the mine and under his energetic management

 there is no doubt in my mind, bu

 that it will in the next thirty days

 be the equal, if not the superior of tho

The results are very satisfac tory thus far, and indicates a complete success of the pan process with those ores.
