Mining Hems. Sentinel : A very rich strike was meade in the Bonnie Bee mine this . week, 200 feet in on the: main tunnel which is being driven on a twelve foot vein. A chute of ore was strack that goes over $500 per ton and with each subsequent round of holes the ore is getting better, showing fine gold in large quantities. Machine drills are being used and great progress is being made in deyeloping the mine. As soon as spring opens a ten stamp mill will be put on the property. . Development work is in progress at the May Wlower gravel mine near Forest Hill. Six men are employed. Messrs. Browne, Rea and Hoffman commenced to wash gravel at the Paragon pit at Bath, last Friday. ‘The leasers of the Dardanelles mine . commenced to hydraulic last Monday. At the Eelipse quartz mine the mill is being rebuilt and a new hoist is be‘ing installed. L.1. Ogden, au experi_{enced millwright, has charge of the work. P. Espinaux, manager of the Ralston Divide Gold Mining Oo., has returned to the mine and put a force of men to work on the Blacksmith claim where very good prospects were developed last fall. This claim may be worked by drift or hydraulic process as further prospecting will advise. Pia reer <n A Man In the House. There is a young criminal lawyer in Memphis, Tenn., who on the occasion of his becoming of age began the celebration of his birthday in a way that caused his household a great deal of . consternation. On the eve of the fete, shortly after midnight, the young man’s family were suddenly startled from their slumbers by a loud voice in the house calling: “There’s a man.in the house! There’s a man in-the house!’ The valiant pater familias rushed from his room, bearing in his hands a heavy billet of firewood, to learn the cause of fhe disturbance and to capture the intruder. His son was standing in the hall, shouting at the top of his voice. “Where’s the man?’ exclaimed the old gentleman. “Here, sir; here!” phoniliy replied the young man. “This is he. At last I’m twenty-one!’—Memphis Scimitar. Piper Legends. The Wends, who, we believe, are the ancestors of the modern Prussians, are the center of many legends. The Pied Piper of Hamelin was a Wend; 80 also was the piper of the Harz mountains, who appeared so many days a year and played unearthly tunes and whosoever heard at once fell into a frenzy, from which there was no escaping. All these pied and weird pipers assembled once @ year at the Brocken, where there was a general carnival, the arch fiend leading the concert on a violin, witches rolling around and fiddling on the skulls of horses and the pipers adding the concert of their unholy instruments.—Chambers’ Journal. y ’ Yerrific Thunder, The largest rainfall on earth has been recorded at Chera Punji, on the bay of Bengal, but the most. violent thunderstorms ever observed are probably those of French Guiana. At Cape Orange, some forty miles south of Cayenne, a French naval offieer saw the rills of the coast hills turned into waterfalls by a cloudburstlike storm, while the crashing thunder peals were incessant and often almost deafening, so much so, indeed, that some of the sailors began to mutter long forgotten prayers, probably thinking the day of judgment near at hand. No Cause For Care. A Welsh editor had misspelled the name of 2 famous poet of Wales. “Why do you spell Liywarch Hen’s name Liwyarch?” asked a cent of the editor. “Why? Does he object?” asked the editor. “Opject!”. echoed: the other. he has been dead 1,200 years.” “Oh, then, I don’t care a toss,” said the editor. “Why, Studied Indifference. “Why did.we arrive late and leave before the opera was over?” asked the youngest daughter. “It was-very enjoyable.” “Of course it was,” answered Mrs. Cumrox; “but, my dear, we had to show people that we didn't care whether we got our money’s worth or not.”—Exchange. 4 Satisfactorily Explained. “John, when you came. home last night you talked and acted very queer ly. You were lifting your feet endeavoring to step over imaginary obstacles.” “Oh, yes, my dear. All the evening I felt as if I were walking on clouds.

For the past two weeks the local Chinese colony has been the scene of great merriment—from a Mongolian standpoint. Tomorrew afternoon the New Year festivities will be closed at the Joss house with the usual amount of ear-rending noise. The “show” will open promptly at 2 o’clock, and “New Ohinatown” will be lively for a few hours. The contests for honor and distinction that lie hidden in the “bemb-catching tournament” will be better this year than ever. The salary) of the Joss Keeper has been raised, and, as a_matter of course, the strife for fame will be more eagerly cought ‘by the wily heathen. Among the contestants there will be men from Red Dog, Bloody Run and Grizzly Canyon. Others will alse come from Marysville, Chico and Red Bluff. The crowd of spectators will likely be large, and if the weather is fine the “fun” will be well worth going to see. The new Chinese band has been _. practicing for several months, and. this in itself will prove to be a great inducement to take in the “big time.” The Gun Club. At an enthusiastic meeting of the Nevada City Gun Club held last night W. G. Richards was elected president, E. W. Schmidt Treasurer and A. B. Wolf Secretary. It was decided to hold a shoot next Sunday at-Glenwood, weather permitting. Manager Skewes of the Nevada County Traction Company has kindly offered to put the grounds in shape for the shooters. A motion was passed whereby any mémber who absents “himself from three successive sheots or meetings stands suspended from the club. =: The dues were fixed at 25 cents per moath, payable in advance.

In Portugal a boy of fourteen is considered marriageable, and a “woman” of twelve. In Greece the “man” must have seen at least fourteen summers and the “woman” twelve. In France the man must be eighteen and the woman sixteen. In Belgium the same ages. In Spain the intended husband must have passed his fourteenth year and the woman her twelfth. In Austria a man anda woman are supposed to be capable of conducting a home of their own from the age of fourteen. In Turkey any youth and maiden who can walk properly and can understand the necessary religious service are allowed to be united for lite. L Deafness Cannot Be Cured. By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an abet condition of the mucous linof the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a Pamibiing sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever ; nine case out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo,O.
