In the heading thé vein shows about three fdet, with several inches of ochre a.l alonz. This’ ground is left to work during the winter when heavy rains set in and water gets too abundant in the lower depths, At the bottom of the shaft, 25 feet has been drifted to the east, and 60 feet to the north, ‘The vein here is over three feet thick and shows good average ore, there being plenty of sulphurets and ‘some free gold The upper stepes on this level display considerable ore. The fissure is from. five to six feet from wall to wall, and the ore véins proper from 6 inches to three feet. The formation:is slate.

It isin vain that her friends seck to dissuade her from this painfal practice. *‘No,” she says, ‘‘the sea has taken himfrom me, and the sea must bring him back to me.” : They began to fear at last that the woman would lose her reason, and adistant relative was appointed to bring her around to thoughts of resijsuation. ety *\Some, come, Henrietta,” said he, you must give a reason for this!” **A reason !” exclaimed the widow, between her sobs; ‘“‘it is very easy for you to demand areason, but— boo-hoo-hoo—:f they don’t tind his bedy I can never get married again !’" Mow Literature Lives.

There Lae thee hendoen More Sheep Wanted. The. United States need more sheep, says the Drovers’ Journal.— In all parts of this great country, to ; Secure health and comfort, its people must-have food and clothing. The sheep has. the best and most wholesome food and the most comfortable clothing yet tested by the masses of our people. Jn material districts—especi lly those where extremes of heat and co.d are frequent—woolen clothing and a freer and more common diet of good young mutton, would insure better health and better vigor than generally characterizes porkeaters and the wearers of cotton and fine linen, From the best data withim our reach, we ascertain that there are on the entire globe about 500,000,000 sheep.’ Or these the United bas ever been expended by private . States has but 35,000,000—Our manufactories consume annually more than 225,000,000 pounds of wool. If each of our sheep furnished five pounds of wool, thére would be 4 yearly deficit of 50,000,000 pounds. Here is a good,field for enterprising stockmen. We need double our present number of sheep. Let no one indulge a single iear of. over-pre duction-of either mutton or wool.— Could our stocks be tripled or quadrupled, they would not only add to the comfort and healthfulness of the people but their intelligence and sobriety, as well as to the productiveness of every field used as a sheep pasture, Prince Albert to His Daughter. (The Life of the Prince Consort.) Iam delighted to see by your letterof the 24th that you deliberate gravely upon your budget, and I will be most happy to look through it, if you send it to me; this is the only way to have a clear idea to one’s self of what one has, spends, and ought to spend. As this is a business of which I have had long and frequent experience, I will give you one rule for your guidance in it, viz.: to set apart a considerable balance pour Vimprevu. This. gentleman is. the costliest of guests in life, and we shall look very blank if we have nothing to put before him. Therefore keep a large margin upon which you can draw for all that cannot be calculaed beforehand, and reduce all the expenses capable of previousestimate, courageously, ‘so low as to obtain for yourself aconsiderable margin. Fate, accident, time, and the world care very little for a previons estimate, but ask for theirdue with rude impetuosity. Later retrenchments to ineet them do not answer, because the demands of ordinary life, have’ shaped themselves a good deal according to the estimates, and have thus acquired a legitimate power. The Sugar of the World. “Something like one-tenth of the sugar in the world, it is said, is produced im Mauritius. McCullough, in 1858, put down the, workl’s produce at 1,250,009 tons. In that year the island produced about 126,250 tons. In 1862-3 the crop produced: 165,0C9 tons, the largest quantity ever made in Mauritius in a single These figures are independent of the sugar made from beet or other sources besides the cane. Thecrop during the coupe just over is estimated at 125,C20 tons. Of this the larzer portion is exported, the island consuming annually about 7,500 tons. Beet-root sugar can be classed among the natural enemies of the cane; the very mention of its name in Mauritius acts like the wave of a red flag to a bull —a good year for ‘‘beet” meaning a bad year for sugar; a failure in the former crop will add several shillings to the price of a hundred weight of cane suyar, a‘ditference which means to the planter a good income for the year, or the reverse. t is encouraged by bounties by the French Government; hence its cheap production, and-its rivalry with sugar cane, —_——-— ~~ oe A Queer House. An eccentric Englishman has recently built a house in the Quarter Tivoli for the residence of himself, his wife, and eight children, which is the talk of all;;Paris. It is circular, and has neither door nor window externally. The approach to it is by means of a ladder, which is moved up and down by machinery similar to that of a drawbridge. There is only one floor, and that contains eighteen apartments, more or less small in dimensions, looking into the centre, which is lighted from above ” a glazed cupola, One stove for 1 these rooms is in the middle, and in summer its place is to be occupied by an exquisite parterre of flowers. A circular balcony, open to all the ee, surrounds this space. e motive for this oddity is of course only known to the author of it, but everybody can see that two points are gained by it—immanity from the re on doors and windows, and a ect preventative of at tem at burglary. v “ P en 4a Unforseen Contingency.

Up to this time his body has not been recoverid, ‘Every morning the young and disconsolate widow of the drowned man comes and seats herself by the beach, questioning the unreplying Ocean with eyes red with weeping. It isin vain that her friends seck to dissuade her from this painfal practice. *‘No,” she says, ‘‘the sea has taken himfrom me, and the sea must bring him back to me.” : They began to fear at last that the woman would lose her reason, and adistant relative was appointed to bring her around to thoughts of resijsuation. ety *\Some, come, Henrietta,” said he, you must give a reason for this!” **A reason !” exclaimed the widow, between her sobs; ‘“‘it is very easy for you to demand areason, but— boo-hoo-hoo—:f they don’t tind his bedy I can never get married again !’" Mow Literature Lives.

There Lae thee hendoen More Sheep Wanted. The. United States need more sheep, says the Drovers’ Journal.— In all parts of this great country, to ; Secure health and comfort, its people must-have food and clothing. The sheep has. the best and most wholesome food and the most comfortable clothing yet tested by the masses of our people. Jn material districts—especi lly those where extremes of heat and co.d are frequent—woolen clothing and a freer and more common diet of good young mutton, would insure better health and better vigor than generally characterizes porkeaters and the wearers of cotton and fine linen, From the best data withim our reach, we ascertain that there are on the entire globe about 500,000,000 sheep.’ Or these the United bas ever been expended by private . States has but 35,000,000—Our manufactories consume annually more than 225,000,000 pounds of wool. If each of our sheep furnished five pounds of wool, thére would be 4 yearly deficit of 50,000,000 pounds. Here is a good,field for enterprising stockmen. We need double our present number of sheep. Let no one indulge a single iear of. over-pre duction-of either mutton or wool.— Could our stocks be tripled or quadrupled, they would not only add to the comfort and healthfulness of the people but their intelligence and sobriety, as well as to the productiveness of every field used as a sheep pasture, Prince Albert to His Daughter. (The Life of the Prince Consort.) Iam delighted to see by your letterof the 24th that you deliberate gravely upon your budget, and I will be most happy to look through it, if you send it to me; this is the only way to have a clear idea to one’s self of what one has, spends, and ought to spend. As this is a business of which I have had long and frequent experience, I will give you one rule for your guidance in it, viz.: to set apart a considerable balance pour Vimprevu. This. gentleman is. the costliest of guests in life, and we shall look very blank if we have nothing to put before him. Therefore keep a large margin upon which you can draw for all that cannot be calculaed beforehand, and reduce all the expenses capable of previousestimate, courageously, ‘so low as to obtain for yourself aconsiderable margin. Fate, accident, time, and the world care very little for a previons estimate, but ask for theirdue with rude impetuosity. Later retrenchments to ineet them do not answer, because the demands of ordinary life, have’ shaped themselves a good deal according to the estimates, and have thus acquired a legitimate power. The Sugar of the World. “Something like one-tenth of the sugar in the world, it is said, is produced im Mauritius. McCullough, in 1858, put down the, workl’s produce at 1,250,009 tons. In that year the island produced about 126,250 tons. In 1862-3 the crop produced: 165,0C9 tons, the largest quantity ever made in Mauritius in a single These figures are independent of the sugar made from beet or other sources besides the cane. Thecrop during the coupe just over is estimated at 125,C20 tons. Of this the larzer portion is exported, the island consuming annually about 7,500 tons. Beet-root sugar can be classed among the natural enemies of the cane; the very mention of its name in Mauritius acts like the wave of a red flag to a bull

An eccentric Englishman has recently built a house in the Quarter Tivoli for the residence of himself, his wife, and eight children, which is the talk of all;;Paris. It is circular, and has neither door nor window externally. The approach to it is by means of a ladder, which is moved up and down by machinery similar to that of a drawbridge. There is only one floor, and that contains eighteen apartments, more or less small in dimensions, looking into the centre, which is lighted from above ” a glazed cupola, One stove for 1 these rooms is in the middle, and in summer its place is to be occupied by an exquisite parterre of flowers. A circular balcony, open to all the ee, surrounds this space. e motive for this oddity is of course only known to the author of it, but everybody can see that two points are gained by it—immanity from the re on doors and windows, and a ect preventative of at tem at burglary. v “ P en 4a Unforseen Contingency.
