The Virginia City Chronicle gives a report of an interview with a gentleman just returned from Deadwood, as fol­ lows •- " Tell us all about Deadwood, Mr. Williams ? " " Deadwood may be considered a pretty lively town; that is, lively for a town of 2,000 inhabitants. Of course, it's the oentral camp, where all the gam­ bling, fighting and business is done. Everything goes on a grand rush night and day. There is no regularity about anything. A man opens a place of busi­ ness and makes lots of money, then he gets the prospecting fever, starts for the gulches, and shuts up his shebang arallel !ineB Gf hximan progress When a place is closed up it means that I the Centennial Exhibition is tiie owner is out digging, has been taliedj ^e culmination and the flower. Con- sir." "Shure, I think it's a he ye're telling. Bring me that scales. Now bring me that cat." Tae cat turned the scales at exactly one pound. "There, didn't I tell ye she had eaten a pound of mate this mornin'?" "All right, my boy, there's yer pound of mate, but where the devil's the cat ?"--New York Mail. Tapper on America. Mr. F. Tupper is in Charles­ ton, S. C. The News of that city prints j a letter which he has written to a friend in England, in which he praises this country without limit, and says : " I note everywhere, as an unbiased traveler, a vast advance and improve­ ment, not alone materially, but also men­ tally, morally and socially; and of all A BRITISH PAGEANT. in a fight, or is off on a spree. We have no municipal government at all. Every man thinks he's Mayor of the town. Every once in a while the boys call a mass meeting, draw up resolutions, etc., and decide to incorporate the town, and have a Board of Aldermen ; but at the trasted with others I have seen, it is a Victoria Regia to a common water-lily. For mentals, there is not a better edu­ cated people on the face of the earth. Schools and teachers, churches and chapels, books and newspapers, are only almost too abundant; except among the end of the week nobody knows what has neweg^ emigrants from Europe, it is dif- rfjecome of the resolutions or e 1 er- find an ignorant person, and men. We start a new city government' - 6 ^ - * r every two weeks and bust one every , week--if there is any." " How about the theater? " " Yes, we've got a little theater there, not nearly as well fitted up aa your cock­ pit. The orchestra chairs are made of stakes driven into the ground, with a round piece of board about the size of your hand nailed on top. Admission $2.50; reserved seats $5. They run a ' sort of variety show, and sling in the jokes Mid stage business as broad as pos­ sible. The can-can was danced for some time until the boys got tired of it, and they said: ' Give us some singin', or we'll dean out the place. We want something elevatin',' and the manager had to import a female sentimental vo­ calist, at big expense, to appease the patrons. She sung • Sweet Spirit Hear my Prayer,' 'Consider the Lilies,' 'I Know That My Bedeemer Liveth,' and other high-toned music, and I thought that the boyB wonld go crazy with de­ light. But they got tired'of it in about a week. Fanny Garritson . was the singer. I believe she used to be here." " Many saloons there ?" " Saloons all over the place, and whis­ ky four bits a drink. They put two bar­ rels up on end, nail a board across for a bar, and deal it out. A miner who [wants to treat pours some gold dust on 1 the barrel-head and says, 'Set 'em up.' | "They never weigh the dust. Sometimes a man won't put down enough dust, but I they never say a word; and if he's a little tight and pours out ten or fifteen dollars' worth, they never mention it. They have three faro banks running all the I while. They don't use checks for the [boys; when they won a pile of checks I they threw 'em all over the place, and [some were too drunk to handle 'em. So [the checks got played out. Now a man Iputs a little gold dust in a dollar green- lback and it goes for two dollars. Ten Idolkurs' worth of dust in a ten dollar senback goes for $20, and so on. They lever weigh dust at all, but guess the lount." 1 Have you a daily paper ?" : Yes, sometimes it's daily, and then rhen the compositors get drunk it don't suae out for several days. If there seems to be no home where the children are not habitually sent to school. For morals, wliich include so­ cials, there is so vast a stride toward ab­ solute temperance that Americans may now be called a water-drinking people. I have not yet seen a single case of in­ toxication, and habits of dram-drinking seem to be quite on the decline. No case of cruelty to animals, or even over­ driving (perhaps the 2:40 trotting match­ es of racing men may be excepted), has met my glance. I have seen no street quarrel, no one handcuffed, nor heard one foul word or execration. Several cases of curious honesty have occurred to myself, wliile the general good nature and courtesy, and even self-forgetfulness, of the bulk of those one meets are traits abundantly noticeable. You may say, dear sir, that I take an optimist view of things, but I simply speak of what I see --that great cities cannot be without sin, nor human nature generally from folly, nor (as is hinted to me) political life puri­ fied Irom corruption, are manifest truths, lout art all events the good is on the sur­ face and not the evil, and no bne has a right to condemn what he cannot per­ ceive. , The Talmud. Tryon Edwards, m tScribner's Month­ ly, says: The Jews, Protestants and Ro­ manists all agree in receiving as canoni­ cal the Ixjoks of our Old Testament. But as' the Romanists would add to these the apocryphal books, so the Jews insist on adding their oral law. They say that when the written law was given to Moses, inscribed on two tables of stone, God also gave another and verbal law ex­ planatory of the first, which he was com­ manded not to commit to writing, but to deliver down by oral tradition. When Moses came down from the Mount, they tell us that he first repeated this oral law to Aaron and his sons, and then to the seventy, and finally to all the people, each of whom was obliged to repeat it in his hearing, to insure its correct remem­ brance. Just before his death, they say, he spent a month and six days in repeat­ ing it to them again; and then, they as- , f 1 1 , sert, he committed it in a special manner >me oat for several day« If a man , a, u whom it w». imparted ^g^wadingtog^ md^four ^ OI1 , iew city government they print mliii&noes; then there's a grand rush tor the paper.

Every man carries about fourteen pounds of firearms hitched to his belt, |nd they never pass any words. The fel- )W that gets his gun out first is the best tian, and they lug oft' the other fellow's lody. Our graveyard is a big institution, Ind a growing one.

The Whitehall Review publishes the arrangements for the opening of* Parlia­ ment on Thursday, the 8th of February. The Queen will leave Buckingham palace shortly after 1 o'clock in the royal state carriage, drawn by eight cream-colored horses which are used only for these oc­ casions. With the exception of one car­ riage (that one immediately preceding the royal equipage), which will be drawn by six black horses, all the other car­ riages will be drawn by the bays. The sovereign will be accompanied by Prin­ cess Beatrice. Her Majesty, who, until the death of the Prince Consort, used to pass through the grand entrance of the House of Lords, will alight from the state carriage at the Peer's entrance, where the Queen will be received by the Deputy Lord Great Chamberlain (Lord Aveland), and the great officers of state. As in previous years there have invaria­ bly been many complaints by Peers and Peeresses of the extreme crowding around the door by which those person­ ages enter the House of Lords, both on their arrival and departure, it has been deemed advisable to augment the num­ ber of police stationed in front of the upper house. In all there will be upward of 3,000 constables between Buckingham palace and the House of Lords. ^ Those who have experienced the difficulties and discomforts of getting away from the House of Lords after the royal ceremony will doubtless remember why, on the next 8th of February, some arrangement could not be made which would render the task of getting away from the Peers' Chamber an easier one than has hitherto been. Under existing circumstances, a practical suggestion on this point may not be considered out of place. Just be­ yond Victoria tower there is a large open space, altogether unused at present, and likely to be so for some time to come. This vacant area might easily be made available as an immense waiting-place for carriages on the day of the opening of Parliament, with results which would be eminently satisfactory to all who have assisted at the ceremony.

This work, consisting of six books, is the famous Mishna of the Jews, which, with its Gemara, or commenttiries, constitutes their celebrated Talmud, in which is comprehended all their learning and much of their religion aa a people. The whole work is held by them in far higher esteem than the Bible, so much so, that they say the Bible is water but the Taftnud is wine; and they even de­ clare that lie who studies the Bible when he might read the Talmud does but waste his time; and that to sin against the latter is far worse than to sin against the former. So implicit is their confidence in this oral law that it is almost useless to reason with a Jew out of the Old Tes- A Fortune (jatned. Hie Boston Traveller says : "At the breaking out of the war in 1861 a citizen of Mobile, Ala., by the name of Nichols, espoused the Union cause, while all his family and relatives went over to the Confederates. He left the South, and, taking what he could, he started for the North to seek his fortune. For some time he has been filling the position of station- master at the Linooln depot on the Fitcli- burg railroad. A few days sinoe he sent in his resignation, as an uncle, recently deceased in Alabama, has left him heir to a fortune of over $1,000,000." Wl»y Advertise? People sometimes ask why does Dr. R V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., spend RO much money iu advertising bin family medicines, which are so well known and siu'paes all other remedies iu popularity and sale. It is woll known that A. T. Stewart considered it good policy, and un­ doubtedly it paid him, to spend many hundred thousand dollars in advertising his goods, yet nobody questioned the excellence of his mer­ chandise. The £rand secret of success lies in offering onlv goods which possess merit to sus­ tain themselves and then through liberal and persistent advertising making the people thor­ oughly acquainted with their good qualities. Men do not succeed in amassing great fortunes, establishing thriving ami permanent business, and founding substantial institutions like Drl Pierce's .Grand Invalid's Hotel at Bttff»ki,nvhich* cost* over two hundred thousand dollars, unless their business be legitimate, their goods merito­ rious, and their services which they render the people genuine and valuable. Dr. Pierce does not attempt to humbug you by telling you that his Golden Medical Discovery will cure all dis­ eases. He tsavs, "if your lungs aiv half wasted by .consumption, niv Discovery will not cure you, yet as a rentedv for severe coughs, and all curable bronchial, throat and lung affections, I believe it to be unsurpassed as a remedy." The jxiople have confidence in his mediciuesbecause he does not over-recommend them, and when tried they give satisfaction. His Medical Ad­ viser, a book of over nine hundred pages, illus­ trated bv two hundred and eighty-two engrav­ ings and bound in cloth and gilt, is offered to the peojrie at so moderate a price ($"1.5(1, post­ paid ), that it is no wonder that almost one hun­ dred thousand have already been sold.
