Bat little could be done in a single season in prospecting the numerous segregated guartz veins of this region, some of whloh unooabt- edly contain gold.

Tne Bear Lodge gold field .situated in the extreme northwestern portion of the hills, is wholly in Wyoming and entirely Separated from the Harney Peak region. It does not exceed fifty square miles in area; the gold deposits are small compared with those on Rapid Creek, and are remarkable for the absence of quartz in the navel, the gold being derived from the disin­ tegration of feldspar porphyry carrying irregu­ lar masses of iron and manganese ore. ^DANGERS OF THE DEE&„ Stotfjr of a Caataway--Terrible Picture of Sngertqifcaw* Wii laMuo. .. The Kory of the Sufferings of Antonio Maximo, the only survivor of the crew of the bark Toronto, recently wrecked in the West Indies, is almost too terrible for belief. Maximo was picked up by the brig Centaur and brought to New York. "He states that the To­ ronto was a bark which sailed from Glas­ gow, Scotland, about four months ago, with a cargo of coal. There were four­ teen men on board. The name of the first mate was Smith. This is the only name Maximo could remember. From Glas­ gow they sailed to Madeira, the voyage taking a month and a -half. From Ma­ deira they proceeded to Navassa, an isl­ and in the West Indies, where they took on board a cargo. Soon after leaving Navassa, / a severe storm arose, and they buoyed to anchor. At about 11 o'clock at night the foremast broke off quite close to the deck. They cut away the mast, and, an hour after, the mid-mast gave way, leav­ ing only the mizzen-mast. The Captain below sleeping, at the time, and one of the men, discovering land close by, called out to the first mate (Smith), " Look ! There's the land!" What land this was, Maximo did not know. The Captain was then called and ordered a boat to be lowered. There were three boats, but one was sufficient to carry all the crew. The sea was running high at the time, and the storm raged furiously. One of the boats was put out and the Captain and crew all got into it. It was, however, immediately filled with water, and seven of the men were washed into the sea, and the violence of the waves soon carried the boat out of the sight of them. There were then seven men in the boat, but no provisions, Maximo could give no intelligent account of how they fared in the boat ° but, as far as could be ascertained, %hey drifted' for days without food and without water. Water was obtained by spreading a sail during rains and heavy dews at night. The boat, which is on the CeBtsravghows •where it has been scratched bj the men, as one of the sailors on board suggested, for the purpose of eating the dirt that dung to th© sides. The sufferings of the men must have been intense. Maximo describes the men as walking about look­ ing out at the sea and sky. Some, driven to desperation by the sufferings they en­ dured, jumped into the sea. Some lay on their backs, with their longing faces turned to Heaven; and so died. One by one they threw themselves in­ to the sea, or were thrown by their, companions, until all had been lost but himself. From this ib&b's i&c- count, it is clear that the men lost the* reason. He ate seaweed to sust^£1 He caught a sea bird occasionally and sometimes a fish, but he*e his reason seems to have wandored. He says he was twenty-live days in the boat, but cannot tell how he measured the time. When found by the Centaur, the boat was drifting helplessly along, with Maxi­ mo reclining against the side, his head leaning over his bosom. He could notf speak nor move.

There is on the monument a group in bas relief, the conspicuous figure of which is Washington, and it is his head, and not that of Andre, which has three times been wantonly destroyed--the last time I saw it, the mark round the neck showing the decapitation was plainly visible. Of course no one but a wreton too contemptible for even ordin­ ary anger could have perpetrated such a piece of vandalism. Every possible effort was made by the authorities of the Abbey, on the three occasions alluded to, to discover the offender, but he kept his secret too well.

Three estates, aggregating $20,000,- 000, are now in litigation, through al­ leged testamentary defects. We refer to tne Taylor, Warn and Singer estates. The prospect is that, through the ex­ pense and losses incident to legal pro­ ceedings, a very large per cent, of the property will be frittered away. Clearly there is something wrong. Either the law is defective or its interpretation un­ just. The difficulty in disposing of property by testament is so great as to make it almost impossible to divert the ^ A !A.^- - A \ • AJT COUIUL*, provided tne amount is vast. The attempt to do so inures to the benefit of lawyers mainly. % In view of this difficulty, a corre­ spondent of the Chicago Journal sug­ gests that the testator append, as a safe­ guard against litigation, a clause some­ thing as follows : I have now, by thie my last will and testa­ ment, bequeathed all my property, real and persona), in precisely the manner in which I desire to have it distributed among my heirs ; and I further declare that any heir or legatee hersiu named, who shall commence legal pro­ ceedings against my estate for the purpose 4>f destroying the force and effect of this my last will and testament, or to harass the other heirs therein named, shall be instantly and forever deprived of hie or her right to any share in the distribution of my estate, say other provision or devise mentioned in this my will to the con­ trary notwithstanding; and the *" s© forfaited by such heir shall be divided equally between the ether heirs to my estate herein named, by my executors. This might operate as a wholesome restraint in one class of cases ; but often the contestant has been ignored in the distribution of the property, or " cut off with a shilling," as the phrase is, »nd the risk of the proceeding in case jof failure would be out of all proportion to the gain in case of success. At most the remedy would be partial. Health Maxims. Nature is very much like a shiftless child, who, the more he is helped, the more he looks for it. The more medi­ cine a man tstca the more he will have to take, whether it be anodyne, tonic, or alterative. Tho thinnest veil or silk handkerchief thrown over the face while riding or walking against a cold wind is a remark ably comfortable protection. iNever sit or stand with the wind blow­ ing on you for a single moment, for it speedily produces a chill, to be followed with a fever, and then a bad cold. A hearty meal, token while excessively fatigued, has often destroyed life. A sour look, an impatient gesture, or a cross word at the breakfast table is enough to make the best food indigesti­ ble and spoil the day. A good laugh is anti-dyspeptic. To spend two or three moments on rising and retiring in rapid friction of the whole surface of the body with the hand is a more rational treatment of the skin, and a more health-promoting op­ eration for most persons, than a daily cold-water bath. If you can't get good wages, work for your board rather than do nothing, or go in debt, or live on the earnings or charity of another. _ Acidity always arises either from hav­ ing eaten too much food, or of a quality which the stomach could not dissolve. The remedy is, eat less and less each meal until there is no acidity, then you know for yourself how much your stom­ ach can manage ; to eat the same amount and as regularly take something to cor-1 rect the acidity is certain to cause dys- I pepsia or some other more serious --' of disease.--Dr. W.
