Taking np one of theae he suddenly raoogained the hand-writing,and with a greatheart- throb he tore it open. It was a valen­ tine, a sunflower ol goodly proportions, with this motto; M»e constant flower follows it* love, the ran; My constant hawt turueth to ttee attono. Phil was thunderstruck and puzzled. He put his head in his hands and thought it all over aapain, than ever before. As a result of theae reflec­ tions he determined to go to the ball by himself, in the character of a spactator. If Maynard was one of Mrs. Keilt's par­ ty he would observe them. At least £va was no flirt; that he knew. Conld it be that he was unjust to her, that he might be mistaken ? Blissful thought! if that could by any possibility be true. He went early to the ball, and, from a quiet lurking place, watched the arriv­ als. At last they came, Mr. Kent with his wife, Eva escorted by an old-bache­ lor cousin who was considered an almost fatal bore bv meet peop'e. In the crowd he could only see the top of Eva's small head, but she was not accompanied by the odious Maynard, that was sure. Her© was the odious Maynard arriving all by himself, with a serene air and a lily on his coat Egerton could have wept in the sense of relief, Still lie waited; he had gone through too many phases of suffering to regain his equilib­ rium lightly. He passed a quiet hour in his corner before summoning courage to approach Eva. At last lie advanced, skillfully concealing his trepidation-- at least he thought so--under a wivV of indifference. She was surrounded by admirers, and had never looked more lovely to poor Phil's eyes. He saw that her dress was of some dusky rich sub- stance, and that the arrangement of her hair was unlike other people's hair, which gave her, he thought, a distin­ guished and peculiar graoe. In reality, her gown was olive-green velvet, rich white lace at the neck and sleeves the only relief to its somber color. Her red- gold hair was dressed high, and on the top of her head a veritable sunflower ap­ parently repaaed on its edge in full­ blown magnificence like a star, or rather a sun How the thing was fastened on­ ly she and her hairdresser knew, but there it was among the bright rings and curls that shone the brighter from con­ trast with its dingy yellow and brown. Miss Wttmaith was small and dainty in figure, she had large bine eyea and a charming complexion, her ohildish lilies and roses were as well set off by her grave dress as her curls and daintiness by the cumbrous head ornament, she wa« a fairy, a dryad, a beautiful masquer- ading child. It was highly probable that sunflowers in the hair would be de rigueer the rest of the season. Egerton made his bow and received a sweet, confiding, half-pathetic smile. " Good evening," she said softly, "I am glad you got back. I thought, per­ haps, you would. Is not everybody looking very niee to-night ? Yes, my sister is here, do you not see her in the second set f I have been 'fanning, I am a little tired." To judge from her manner nothing had happened. Egerton gasped and ac­ cepted the situation. " I found I could oome back," he said hypocritically; "and of course I did my best, though I am rather l%te in finding my way to you." It struck him that he was on dangerous ground here, and he hastened off it " How beautifully you look, dearest," the poor fellow rapturously, «•! never so perfectly." Eva's month quivered, and the long lashes fell over ber eyes to conceal their laughter. "I am pleaaed that you like my dress, for it m a fancy of my own." " I am sure no one el Be could design anything m effective," answered the en­ amored Phil " But remember you did not think it would be pretty when I spoke of wear­ ing olive-green And a sunflower." " That was--some time ago. And I was a fool to suppose that I knew anything about a woman's dresa. Darling Eva, did yon send me a va'- entine ?" " Yes, Phil," said Eva, " I did." Out of this turmoil tfc jre emerged peace for Egeiton. He need no longer yearn for the miues or the pole. He thought of himself as a vandal uf the dwii'nt dy«i wh**n h«i I »»rl»,» boun­ tiful creature wearing her sunflower with the serene, unconscious graoe of a child Princess. What waa he then to dictate in such ineffable matters ? Did he know anything beyond cropped hair and a stovepipe hat ?

One of the discoverers of the "Terrible," out of which so much money has been made, sold his half for $500, and the remaining half was sold a few days later far a trifle more. The great "Hercules" was sold by the discoverers for a "mere song." The history of mining is filled with such instances, where these invaluable pion­ eers of the world's wealth have pointed the way to great riches for others, but have got scarcely anything for them­ selves. Silver mining can be traced aa for back into antiquity as written history. In the time of Abraham, Moses and Sol­ omon silver was used, and the same may be said of the Egyptians, the Greeks and the Romans. There were silver coins 895 B. C. The Romans employed 25,000 men ii» a single mine ; the Car- thagenians, 40,000 men in the mines of Spain. Hannibal took from one mine £500,000 a year; Cato as much from mines, and HelvetiuB twice as much. Herodotus says : " The nations subdued by the Persians, except the Indiea and Antiocli, paid a yearly tribute of £3,000.- 000 iu silver." Pliny says that in his time silver mines in Spain were penetrated a mile and a half. According to Prescott," the histo­ rian, Prince Ataliulpa. made prisioner, had gathered to pay for his liberty the value of 18,500,000 gold, and 51,610 marks, or about 25,805 pounds of silver. From 1784 to 1827 the great silver mines of Pasco, in South America, smelted 4.%7,710 pounds troy silver. The silver mines of Bolivia and Peru yielded horn their discovery by tba-Spanumia in 1643 a quantity of silver equal in value £506.- 220,000. The Grand Potosi, of Bolivia, was discovered in 1545. Since then it has produced £240,000,000 in silver. Humboldt's " Essai Politique " statea that the mines of Mexico of only a few central spots, yielded between the quest and 1805, *2,037,802,000. oon- saw ^ou dressed The great mining regions of the United States have produoed of the precious metals since the first discoveries in Call- the precious fomia, a little over thirty years ago, the enormous sum of not less than $2,000,- 000,000, of whioh a large proportion is silver. The mines of Colorado produce chiefly silver. The vast wealth of the great de­ posits in that State are just beginning to be appreciated. In 1876 her mines pro­ duoed about $5,000,000. Ia 1880 they produced $28,000,000, about $4,000,000 more than any other State or Territory. Scientists, experts and practical miners assert with emphasis that Colorado ia te be the great bullion center of the world. Certaiu it is that her wonderful mineral resources are drawing immense and rapidly covering her valleys H mountains with a net work of railroad*. Is not this the "Golden Age" of the world, with the most magnificent oppor­ tunities to those who have enter^m# cr capital? HUMANE beings are now so'carefully cared for in London that little seems left for philanthropists to do. So they have established a "Zoological Necropolis Company," which, being interpreted, means providing burial for pet animals-- dogs, cats, and birds.

"But title example of Washington may be profitably studied by the modern leg- lator and politician as by the student and the child. Purely unselfish, devoid of that ambition and love of sell-aggran- dizsment and power so common at the present day, he was in all respects a model of public as well as private virtue. Hia life was full of self-sacrifice and de­ votion to hia country's good. He en­ dured the perila etwwr and shared tha Mcaefngs of peace, with one impulse of patriotism. His joys and sorrows rose and sank with the pulse of the infant re­ public. When the smoke of battle had oleared aw«r and the chains of British oppression had melted in the hot cruci­ ble of revolution, Washington marched modestly at the head of a grateful peo­ ple to the proudest thone mat man ever sat upon. Having emancipated a hem­ isphere by his military valor and stead- fastnesss, and having conducted the ex­ ecutive department of the nation for eight years with consummate skill and statesmanlike wisdom,, he retires from public life. He relinquishes the crown whioh his own virtues had Jeweled with glory, and leaving an almost divine bene­ diction upon the people and the nation that he loved, humbly seeks the re­ tirement of domestic life.

He had inherited his employer's fortune, and he had determined to share it with the woman who had taken compassioh on him years before, and had laid tbe foundation of his prosperity.

"When I went from Canon to Bodie, CoL, on horseback," said Major Max, "the road was not very good, th© toll­ houses on either side were numerous, and when I had trailed a few miles I knew my money would soon give out, as each tollman assessed me from $1 to $6. I resolved to retrench. The next tollman, who came out on a pair of stilts, yelled out: ' Foot or horseback ?' 'Foot,' says I, although I knew my hor.se was still under me, for I could Bee his ears stick up above the mud once in a while. Well, in that way I escaped payment for a long time, tetying the toll­ men, whether they asked m@ or not, that I was traveling afoot. Everything went smoothly until at' a toll-house where a big, burly rascal came out on stilts and carrying a shot-gun. Just as I bad as­ sured him I was afoot, the mnsteng I rode stretched his whole head out of the mud for a breath of air. I never felt so mortified in my life, bnt I could not blame the horse, for it hadn't taken a breath for forty miles. The man leveled his gun at me and remarked : ' Yer a nice party to try and beat an honest toll- keeper out of $10. How d'ye expect we're goin' to keep this road in order if we don't get paid for it ?' " • DOCTOR who won't advise * "»«" to leave off his flannels the first warm day is no friend to the profession.
