LEOPARD.


Since the date of last report We have
turned the course OF the main drift in
the 500 level SO it will cut the ledge
about thirty feet south of where L. was
cut with the cross-cut. The face is now
showing quartz and water, indicating
that We are very near the ledge. The
raise from the 800 is up 90 fee. and is
being pushed ahead as fast as possible.
The air Is close and until the conuec-
tion is made is with the 700 level pro-
sress will be slow. The Slopes between
the GO and 700 levels are doing better
than We expected. The vein gets
smaller as it goes toward the Coz level.
Ore is good. The mill is running wall.

A CLEANLINESS THAT MAY BE SINFULNEss. With all due respect fer St. Paul in pro- nouncing cleanliness next to godliness, believe extreme cleanliness, which requires the lfe- service of any human being, to be not merely next to sinfulness, but actully it. WhatI do en- dorse, is a sense of general wholsomeness in and about house, clean cookery, clean dish cloths. clean table-cloth and bright china and silver as essentials. That there are mud tracks on the floor, fly spccks on the window panes, dust on the top of the picture frames, finger marks on the doors, or carpet that has not had & thorough sweeping for a month-such things are of minor importance and ought to disturb ne woman who desire to use her time for better work. It is plain that heusekeeper must put limit somewhere to her labors, or else give herself up to hopeless drudgery

 What health and absolute comfort demand should be carefully attended; but beyond that, the work becomes, in large part improbable drudgery It makes nobody better or happier often the reverse-while the best that can be said of it is, that it gratifies in a way the small vanity of the woman who does it. She likes to see things look clean. So do all of usl And she is spurred on by some secret i'm pulse te clean and polish, and sweep and brush. and scrub and SCOUT, as if by such work eternal life were to be won. The force of hab- Ii finally becomes such that she can't lie down for nap, and get wink of sleep, if she knows that the mantel-piece has not been dus- ted. or that there is bit of thread or scrap of paper lying on the carpet. Idoubt if any wo- man So hanpered with a care for small things can rise to large and just conception of life, and understand in its true sense that life is more than meat, and body more than raiment. believe in giving some fsod to the mind ev- cry day of ones life, though the kitchen floor has not been scrubbed for fortnight, or the pzrlor windows rubbed fer month. .-Cont1i- bEE6On fH Rural Neto Yorker.

True society begins in the home.
When two young people love each other
and marry, they restore the picture or
the apostolic church. They are of one
heart and one soul. Neither do they
say that anything they possess is their
own, but they have all things in COM
mon. Their mutual trust in each other,
their entire confidence in each other,
draws out all that is best in both. Love,
is the angel who rolls away the stone
from the grave in which We bury our
better nature, and it comes forth. Love
makes all things new; makes new
heaven and new earth makes all
cares light, all pain easy. 1t is the one
enchantment of human life which
realizes Fortunio's purse and Aladdin's
palace and turns the Arabian Nights
into mere prose in comparison.


Think how this old story of love Is
repeated forever In ell the novels and
romances and poems, and how we never
tire OF reading about it; and how il
there is 10 be wedding in church all
mankind go, just TO have one look at
two persons who are supposed, at least,
70 be in love, and are supremely happy.
But this is not perfect society. II is too
narrow, too exclusive. 1t shows the
power Of devotion, trust, self-surrender.
that there is In the human heart: and
il is also prophecy of something larger
that is TO come. But it is at least
home, and before real society can come,
true homes must come. As in sheltered
nook in the midst Of the great sea of
ice which rolls down from the summit
Of Mount Blanc is found little green
spot full Of tender flowers, so, In the
shelter OF home in the warm atmos-
phere Of household love, spring up the
pure affections of parent and child
father, mother, son, daughter; of broth
ers and sisters Whatever makes this
insecure, and divorce frequent, makes a
marriage not n union for life, but an ex-
pertinent which may be tried as often as
we choose, and abandoned when We
like. And this cuts up by the roots all
the dear affections Of home; leaves
children orphaned, destroys fatherly
and motherly love, and is virtual dis
solution of society.


/ know the great difficulties Of this
question, and how much wisdom Is re-
duired 10 solve them. But whatever
weakens the permanence OF marriage
tends 10 dissolve society for permanent
homes are 10 the social state what the
little cells are 10 the body. They are
the commencement Of organic life, the
centres from which all organization pro-
ceeds.

In China large quantities Of oysters
are dried instead Of being eaten In the
fresh state. For that purpose they are
taken from the shells, simply plunged
into boiling water and then removed at
once. after which process they are ex-
posed 10 the rays of the sun until every
particle Of moisture has evaporated.
10 that state they will keep for length
OF time, and are said to preserve all the
delicacy Of their flavor. The finest
and fattest bivalves. bred and fed on
the leaves and cuttings Of tho bamboo,
are selected for preparation by this
method, those taken from the natural
beds being inferior IN quality, and not
sufficiently plump TO stand the opera

During an exhibition of some wild
beasts recently at the theatre Of a small
town in Thuringia, Germany, q leopard
dashed wildly about his cage, when sud
denly two Of the bars gave way and the
animal sprang with a tremendous bound
among the spectators in the pit. The
terrified people rushed pellmell to the
door, but the beast attacked the hinder
most of them furiously with teeth and
claws, and in four minutes had killed a
woman and child and fearfully lacerated
four other persons about the face and
neck. Before he could do any further
harm, however, his keepers killed him
with spears.

FADING AwAY.-All the political
theories in regard to the currency OF the
country are fading away, leaving the
Democratic platform of Delaware gold
and silver, the only substantial and en-
during one for this or any other coun-
try. Gold and silver are the only legal
tenders known to the Constitution. But
nevertheless, paper securely based there
on has always been found to facilitate
trade, and hence its adoption by all the
States as q circulating medium; IL
should, however, always be kept at par
with cein and be convertible into coin
at the option of the holder. This is the
natural position and just as the country
becomes able to do so it falls into the
use of the precious metals again as dur
ing the periods anterior TO the late "un-
pleasantness."

Mr.. Morton, In his address to the
agTiculturists of Adams county, stated
the amount of revenue raised by tax
alton for state purposes with great
cleverness but he omitted to state
that with the revenue thus derived
the state had erected a penitentiary
costing upwards of$360. 600, and worth
that sum; an insane asylum costing
S900,0 and upwards; school for
the blind at Nebraska City costing
Sis, 600; school for the deaf and
dumb at Omaha worth $4,000, and
have laid the foundation of a reform
school at Kearney, beside caring for
the insane, the deaf, dumb and blind
and paying the current expenses of
the state government. A spirit of
fairness would seem to require that
In just criticism of state management
there should be an account taken ofthe

fits to the people of the state from the
disbursements made to the moneys
raised by taxation.-Lincoln Journal.

If our Canadian neighbors were moved
Just now to confess to us they would have
to admit that they have not only omitted to
do those things which they ought to have
done, but they are doing those things
which they ought not to do. They have
failed to keep their treaty obligations in
Fortune Bay to the tune of one hundred
and three thousand dollars, and now they
are caught catching fish in our waters on
the lakes, where the treaty forbids them to
20, and our authorities have seized their
seines.


1t is all very ridiculous. Why should q
treaty with a nation across the Atlantic inn
pede the industry of people on this CONT
nent? Why should the fisherman on one
side Of river or lake, because he is called
a Canadian, be debarred from catching fish
on the other side, which is called Ameri-
can? Why should fishing vessel, manned
for the most part by New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island men, because 1t
carries an American flag, excite the hostility
of New Brunswick and Prince Edward
Island2 Common sense would make all
the waters of the whole continent free to all
the people of the continent. Mir. Evarts

Our despatch of yesterday, detailing
points in the life of Captain Dixon, who was
murdered at Yazoo City on Tuesday last.
shows that the murdered man must have
been terribly obnoxious to the democrats.
He was Southerner and had been Con-
federate soldier; he had organized a rifle
company and superintended considerable
bull-dozing, all of which might have en-
deared him to his neighbors, as it probably
did at the time But there came day
when he was convinced that he had been
mistaken in his views and then, instead
of quietly Withdrawing from public life, as
is the usual manner OF the intelligent
Southerner when he happens to rise above
the pref udices of his set, Captain Dixon went
publicly to work to retrieve his errors. In
any civilized country such man is regarded
as exceptionally brave and honest, but Mis-
sissippi does not understand that sort Of
thing. To never change an opinion is
manifestly her idea of political consistency,
and she has stuck to it faithfully since her
organization as State. A Northern or
Western man cannot by any mental process
comprehend the feeling of Mississippians
toward such man as Dixon. If Barksdale
had not killed him some other rufian would
undoubtedly have done SO. and no native
would have expressed any regret at the act.
Even Senator Lamar could not do this
much when approached yesterday. Evil
IDENTIFY when Mississippan has blundered
politically and is manly enough to want to
turn over new leaf his proper plan is to
emigrate, for Mississippi wants no such hon
esty she does not recognize it when she
sees it.

A more startled set of officials and con-
tractors than those who read the HEnALD's
revelations yesterday upon the dumping
nuisance it would be impossible to i'm
agine. The awakening had its humorous
features, too, particularly when lot of
pilots of scow tugs crowded about chart
of the harbor, and looked in vain for the
buoy outside Of which they are supposed
to have dragged the scows these many
years. The Dock Department and the
Union Dredging Company acknowledged
everything, which was their only possi-
BILE course, and the former proposes to
do its own dredging and dumping here
after. What the guilty street cleaning
officials will say or do remains to
be seen, they having yesterday discreetly
made themselves invisible. Meanwhile
the great steamship companies are delighted
at the HERALD's detection Of the rogues, as
we'll they may be if they hope long to
sail their ships into this port, for our only
ship channel cannot long resist en-
croachments such as have been made
upon it. Other ports in the United
States, once rivals of that of New York,
have been ruined by sewage alone; for
what can we hope if the severest measures
are not taken with persons wilfully filling up
our bay? We are glad to see that our evening
contemporaries are alive to the Importance
of the subject and that of the HERALD's ex-
posures, and we hope that the press, peo-
pie, Pilot Commissioners and steamship
owners will give tho Legislature no peace
until we have more stringent laws tor the
men to enforce them, and far severer penal
ties for their violation.

cat all events" said Jules Simon, speak
ing in spirit of hostility to Gambetta, 81
will force him to accept office" Opponents
of public men do not generally address
their efforts in that direction. How the
American people would open their eyes if
they saw Mr.. Tilden bent upon refusing
the Presidency, aud his resolute foe, Mr..
Kelly, determined to drive him into it !-or
how would the simple people and yet more
the simple politicians be at their wits ends
if they beheld two such men as Conkling
and Blaine determined each to deprive the
other, not Of q chance to get into that high
Office, but OF every chance to keep out
of it. Yet when Simon declares he will
drive Gambetta into office-into the first
place in ministry which would practically
constitute him the political executive-he is
sincere in his opposition and Gambetta is
equally honest in that abnegation which
led to such resolve. Gambettas tactics
in regard to Office have been somewhat re-
markable. 1t is not certain that his abb
stention did not originate in pique. There
was moment when the extravagant repub-
licans howled him down rs q reactionary
and an enemy. Only little later they
howled him up as the god of their idolatry
and would have made him the head and
front of the Republic. At that time all the
other phases Of opinion raised cry
against him as though his accession to the
Ministry would be the same as the first
plunge of the nation over the abyss. He
would not imperil the Republic by putting
at its head q man at whom the nation
seemed to take alright he would not 60
forward to serve those extremists who would
be the first to rend him if he did his
duty. And he has abstained to such pur-
pose that the world which howlcd against
him rs an untamed radical has desired to
see him in the Ministry as the only man
strong enough to be conservative in that po-
sition, and his enemies try to drive him
in hopeless of any other effort to ruin him.
This is queer chapter in contemporary pol
itics.

! In his letter announcing himself as cam
didate for the Governorship this fall Cen
eral Butler remarked very truly that his
candidacy last year had at least served the
people in this, that it had forced the repub-
licans to nominate good man and to adopt
some needed reforms. He was undoubtedly
of decided use to the people OF Massa-
chusetts, and as it is not yet the
fashion there to shoot independent
candidates, as they do down in Mississippi.
we think it on the whole good thing for
keep running. He has already had one
good effect. Governor Talbot having as
positively refused denomination as Gen
eral Grant the republicans have persuaded
Henry l.. Pierce to consent to be q candidate
before the Convention.


Mr.. Pierce is one OF the ablest and strong
est men in the republican party of Massa-
chusetts He served several terms in
Congress with very great credit, and was
there one of those moderate republicans
who had wisdom and courage to oppose
the mischievous Force bill and the
general Southern policy which pre-



vailed under the last administration and
which President Hayes flung over
board. Mr.. Pierce is honest, clear
headed, friend of the Presidents policy
in fact, so much friend of that policy that
he would have carried it out more faithfully
than Mr.. Hayes has done--and he would
make Governor whom the people of Mas
sachusetts would like very much better
than some of the party managers. If his
pnrty are wise they will nominate him. and
if they do they Will insure lively canvass,
for General Butler does not like Mr.. Pierce.


Can any one tell us what would have
become Of the republican party in Massa-
chusetts if it had not been tor it's dread Of
General Butler? Certainly neither Mr..
Talbot nor Mr.. Pierce would ever have
been it's favorite. When we look at Massa-
chusetts politics we see the usefulness, at
least. of the doctrine of future punishment.
Without bogy the republican party there
would go on nominating and electing fifth
rate machine politicians to the end Of time.
