Jealousy is at once the meanest and most
unaccountable of vices. What belongs to

want and have not we shall never win by
unreason. If we are lovely, we shall be
loved and if we are unlovey, we shall not
be loved, no matter whether any one takes
our place or not Jealousy of the wealth,
the social importance, or the happiness Of
Others, is alike unaccountable and absurd.

carriage, it would only crowd the omni-
bus a little more, and by no means pro-
vide you with vehicle. What is there
in human nature that makes our poor
fare seem poorer because our neighbor is
eating roast duck and drinking champagne?
To envy the love bestowed upon another
is equally idle. Hearts keep their ac-
counts usually with very tolsrable fairness
We shall receive that Of which we are
worthy, no more-and what is our own,

Every one must have noticed the great
difference, as general thing, between the
conduct of the young betrothed man and
the Young betrothed woman. be, the pra-
yer and stronger of the two, is utterly con-
fused and bashful and seeks to make Sc
cret of the fact. She, on the contrary, tries
to parade it, is proud of it, assumes GER
tain air of proprietorship over him, and or
fers to her friends little delicate conhden-
ces as to how nice it is to be engaged, and
how dredfully jealous he is if she looks at
any one else.


The cause Of this is just one thing; the
man is in love; the girl is not


have studied human nature, l have
looked into the depths of hearts, have
made men and women the study OF my
life, and aver that the girl in love is rarer
than a black rose. She has for her lover
exactly the feeling that the young mother
has for her baby. She has an anxious de-
sire to see him for life. to make sure that
he is comfortble, that bis buttons are all
right, and that bis food is what it ought to
be. She understands that he is in love
with her, and reioices in the knowledge.
The idea of losing his love is madness 10
her, but of herself she does not understand
it,


A woman who is not selfish, and greedy
and mean, who does not smile on any one
who can give her fine clothes and grand
establishment, overfows with the mother
feeling al her life. She expendS 1t on her
dolls in childhood, or her poodle, or her
kitten, or canary afterwaTd, and, when the
time comes on her lover. Many man
would lose great deal of his eonceit and
vanity if he knew just how the girl whom
he supposed to be in love with him really
felt. She, also, would be surprised TO hear
that she was not in love at all, but only de-
lighted to have some one in love with her,
and in a measure awakened to the knoWl-
edge of that love which she will some day
give to her children. 1t is the best sort OF
love too, and mans wife really loves him
as his mother used to love him, she MAKES
him happy,


But think that it is time that some one
who knows the truth should .ell it. A
good WCman's love is something to be hap
py in--not the feeting gallantry that man
calls by that name, but pure and high al
feetion, and with sosmuch of the motherly
and protecting in it, that have often
heard little eighteen-year old woman say
of q six-footer of tTo hundred pounds
weight, and brigadier general to boot:


"Oh, isn't be darling, cunning little
thing? Just az sweet as sugar."

From the Denver Tribune.


On the first of last January party of
San Juan miners, having nothing particular
on their hands, concluded to pay visit to
the reported diamond fields" in North
eastern Arizona. Tney report "no find" of
diamonds, but succeeded in gathering up
about the usual quantity of the so-called
rubies, emeralds, quartz, etc.


Among their other interesting discoveries,
however, was the indubitsOle evidences of
prehistoric race, concerning which our DSI
Norte correspondent sends the following:


One morning, when prospecting on the
Dechelley river, the party were examininga
sandstone bluff about five hundred feet in
height, aud saw what appeared to be two
holes in the side of the hll, about three
hundred feet from the valley, in the sand
stone wall. They procured glasses which
were powerful, and saw that the were the
ruins of an old house. They were then sur
prised to see a perpendicular wall of stone
extending about eight feet out of an over
hanging wall or cliff. In the wall was door
facing the valley, aud at the end was an
aperture intended apparently for a window.
The door and The facings were of wood, and
the stones were laid very evenly, one on top
of the other. The building was abort two
hundred feet from the top of the cliff, aud
could not possibly be reached at the time
by human being. The walls of the bluff
are of a very peculiar for
nation of sandstone, while the
bed of the Dechelly river is of soft sand.
The river near its head is wide, but as it ap
proaches the San Juan nearly all the water
is absorbed in the sand. From close obser-
vation the party were convinced that long
time ago the river flowed fully five hundred
feet from its present level. During the in
tervening ages the water has gradually
washed a valley between the cliffs until it
has reached its present level. They coz
cluded that the house discovered on the bluff
was built when the river was almost level
with the building, since which time the earth
has gradually been washed away, until the
house cannot be reached from below or
above. At another time they discovered
similar house about sixty feet above the val
lev, and after considerable difficulty reach
ed it and found evidences ofits having been
inhabited long time ago. Several other
buildings of the same description were seen
with the glasses, but the party could not
reach them.

WHAT unconscious Tribute we pay to
the doctrine of the resurrection by the love
and honor in which we hold graves, century
after century. Surely in our hearts we be-
lieye that each such spot becomes for
ever unlike all other ground: by whatever
process the dear flesh c. ciumbles, returns to
dust, and is changed into the leaf, flower
and seed that perish, in our hearts Fe be-
lieve that the grave remains a grave, and
that at least this much is sure: that the
happy, soaring, growing spirit which has
gone on in the worlds will never forget
where the tiny spot is on this one in which
its human body was laid. m- tf1f

10 We did not see the s'nighi" proceedings
of the House of Representatives Thursday
until they appeared in yesterday mornings

knew nothing of Mr.. Heads rising to
"priylece question" until we saw it publish
ed Yesterday morning. Is is due TO Mr. Head
aud to ourselves for us to say, that while we
koew that he was bitterly opposed to the,
funding biH, We had not heard OF
his taking any prominent part
in subsequent legislation. However,
since his rising 10 ga question Of privil-
ege" we are Informed that he proposed to
bet, before the Funding bill passed, that it
would not pass even If It's defeat required
that the House should be reduced below
ouorum. We are further informed that
Thursday night, during tie discussion OF
the resolution in the House pledging the
members Of The General Assembly to re-
main in session until the important public
business should be disposed OF, Mr.. Elder
d said that be "WAs willing to remain here
and aid in the passage of such meas
ures as the public necessity required, and
that be would not sacriice the honor and
credit of bis State and the Interests Of his
people for the sake of a few pAltry dollars OF
per diem :" that Mr.. Head said "his patriot
ism was MOI as great as that Of the gentle
man from Gibson; that mis- love OF self was
much greater than his patriotism. He
came here under contract with his people
to serve them seventy-ive days at four DOL
lars per day, and that bis time would expire
tomorrow (Friday) night, and he would
then return home"


We ale further informed By gentlemen
of high character aud fully as worthy OF
credence as any one who signed Mr.. Heads
document, that prominent member of the
Legislature opposed to funding, said ne
would give thousand dollars to be Speaker
of the House for the remainder of the ses-
sion, and then neither the revenue
nor assessment bills would become the
law. We are further informed that
another ardent oppossr Of funding has
sworn in emphatic language that
he was ready or willing to withdraw
or do anything else to defeat the operation

WE like presence of mind. 1t isn't the
commonest of qualities. Particularly it is
difficult for many men to preserve it when
anything awkward happens to them in the
company of ladies. Imagine the situation

his beaver to two beautiful young women,

There has been great improvement
this year in the Thanksgiving Proclama-
tionS put out by the Governors. Those
which We have seen have been com
mendably brief. In Massachusetts, the
State in which Thanksgiving was dis
covered, the Proclamations used to be n
yard long, and when the parson read
the official copy in church, one end of it
hung down in the broad aisle before he
had finished. 1t told the people with
great minuteness what they were to be
thankful for-crops, health, peace. etc. +,
as if they didn't know without telling.
1t advised them to go to church, to say
their prayers, to eat Il good dinner, and
generally to mite piety and jollity and
it always ended, "God save the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts, an aspi-
ration which had great effect upon the
small boys of the congregation, partly
from its impressiveness and partly be-
cause they were in hurry to get ont of
church, and were glad when the reading
was over. The Governors nowadays do
not make such great display Of their
religion and it must be confessed that
III tho old times very queer names were
attached to the grateful and
pious Pub. Doc From being local,
Thanksgiving has become a national
holiday; still the Massachusetts, people
are of opinion that it cannot be celebra-
ted with proper spirit anywhere ont
side their ancient borders. But it has
grown jollier as it has grown more gen
eral There was once touch of ascetic-
ism in its observance, but now it has mo-
nopolized good deal of the merriment

Mix common salt and black manga
nese, about equal weights, and take
about pound Of the mixed powder for
each cubic yard in the house. Place it
in pan where you can arrange to upset
a vessel of acid into it by pulling
string outside the house. This will be
oil of vitriol, or boiled sulphuric acid
(specific gravity 1-S), a weight double
that of the manganese. Make all open
ings, except chimneys, air-tight, and
have no water or wet things within, or
polished metals, unless you want them
dimmed. Then pull the string that
pours the acid on the powder. The OBJ
iect is TO fill the house with chlorine
gas, which, being heavy even while
warm, will accumulate from the ground
upward, expelling the air by the Chin
neys. However tight the lower open
ings, you will probably smell little of
it as a warm sea-breeze. BY next morn

There Us no cause of alarm for the
future. The country Is prosperous and
growing IN prosperity year after year.
Our products command the markets of
the world and our natio nal wealth in
creases with every acre of Western land
that is settled and with every new mine
that is worked. Our crops were never
more abundant, and the demand for
them was never greater than at the
present time. What We want is clear
ing up of our financial difficulties,
complete purification of our business
atmosphere. An epidemic has prevailed
among us for the past few years, and
We have given it the name of Buchuism.
We have been living under its influence
in an unhealthy, unnatural condition,
and its evil effects are everywhere ap-
parent. 1t has built our business palaces
of magnificent exterior, but hollow and
rotten within, and cur princely dwell
ings filed with gliding, frescoing and
falsehood. 1t has foisted into nOtoriety
the charlatans and cheats of the fnan-
cial world-the men who would rob Wild
ows and orphans under the garb of
piety, or work the ruin OF thousands for
the mere love of rascality. Now that
the storm has come, the air will be purer
from its effects, the more so since it has
swept away the weeds of mushroom
growth that have so long choked the
legitimate business of the country.
When it has passed We shall have a
better condition of affairs everywhere, a
more healthful credit, a more legitimate
trade, more honesty, fairness and solid
ity in all our commercial relations. The
trial may be, and doubtless will be, Sc
we're, but it will bring its recompense in
greater confidence among men and more
sincerity in our lives and business trans
actions. .-NeU York Herald.
