My lirst exploit was to exam ine the South llomestake Mine to see the character of rock it carried It was gold, but hard to lind. Dr. Lane said, When you find rock standing on edge, go down." I think we worked in nil the granite Mkes in Lone Mountain, but hit no such rock as that of the South llomestake. Poor teiiderlVet -rail came but no gold mine found, (jot to tay longer can't go back and get our goodie girl yet. Win ter whs coining and camping wasn't to our ta .te.

Put win n cold, bleak December winds commenced hinging through the pinions gentle knocks came lo the dugout door. Who's there i" Let us in ; we are frozen out."

OUR XEW YüKK LETTER- The Western Union Telegraph Company expect to have two new cables .'completed within ten days which w ill connect Xew York City with Cano Xova Scotia from which place the cables are laid across the Anllintie.Theil steamer "Faraday" which has been used in the Qwork, laid the shore end of one cable last week and is at work on the other now. thee cables will give the Wes tern Union Company direct cible .connect ion between Xew York City and (iivat Prit.iin, and will mike its service absolutely free from in-t-'; ruptlon incident to w inter storms on laud in this country. Hereto fore outgoi.ig cable dispatches have been sent by land to Xova Scotia, under the Atlantic. The new me thod to be inaugurated will lie an improvemenst on this, though it seems strange that messages can be sent under the sea with more safety byl md. Twenty-live or Jit) years ago the man who would propose to lay a telegraph wies a long the bottom of the sea in pref erence to stringing it on laial would be considered crazy. Tne question of r.inning the Fifth Avenue stages on Sundays, or of not raaaiiig lien is civ ttmg a g id deal of c oinm otion on the pirt of the part of the owner.

While till this is going on the people along the line ofrjFifth avenue have to w ilk to ch'iivh while their lest fa vored brethern of the east and wesf sides' may ride. A few days ago th? Poar.l of Al dermen passed mi ordinance pro hibiting organ grinding, or the playing of imy music il imstni ni 'r.ts inthest:ee:s o' t is city, excepting in parades. He., under penalty of tine or imprisonment. The intontionwas to stop the alleged annoyance caused by the everlasing grinding of the hand-orgait and and the tooting of the "little Ger man band"! but events have proven that our plcnian populace do ' not consider it much of n nuisance after all. In fact they rather like the music, and are coming to the res cup of the musicians by demanding an amendment to the law, 'which w ill allow them to follow their old time occupation wiih some ic ;rie tion. For this purpose a mass meeting will be held to-night in I Urook's Assembly Kooins,when, no doubt, there will be much music in the air. Th;; number of people who gain a livehood by this means must be very lage, as they can be seen on almost evcy Jilock with a crowd of childorn waltzing about them, which crowd varies in size according as the mn-de is furnished by a regularly uniformed (iernian "mud-gutter" ban 1, or by an or dinary Italinn hand-organ.

His friends fear it wlj pull him dowa j On Friday of last week Shot-ill ' Now lin ha I aa impassioned war of words at Nogal, in which the MieritT (h'lioniinated the cit-divine a " 1 n lyings, of a b." Sligh straight w ay came to White Oaks and had Xow lin arn-stod. Mor. -day the case came up for trial. A jury was cilled and much evidence relevant and irrelevant given. most directed to proving tlx; bad flavor attaching to Sligh's general char acter. Much expert testimony wa' taken lo establi-h what a mai meant when fie called his fellow ;( s. of a b. A majority of the ex perts hold that men so stigmatiz ing, rarely, if ever, liad, or intend ed reference to the maternal sourr ? of his adversary's being, tfiat the' meaning intended to he comtfeif by the inelegant and u unlly olfon sive remark, was "you're a mean cuss," and the "Squire instructed t'ne jury to si) consider the words. Sligh kicked he knew that this proposition eoul.l'be established, while the other being literally ah surd could not bo substantiated. The case held through Monday, and it was not until Tuesday noon that the evidence was announced as all in. In the afternoon came a forensic light to the finish be tween the ex-preacher and the gen lleni ui lawyer, Hewitt. And a s ire ero.ign liglit it was. Mi'ii lirst got up on one end and made a noise with his oilier. Then Hew itt wont to the bat. Again Sligli came up smiling but a liiile grog gy. The jury then took the dirty ease and after studying it several hours reported that they vert uih able to determine whether Xowlin or Sligh was guilty, so the ju.y was discharged and Sligh with drew his case, ar also two or throe.' eorelative ones, paid the costs and hie 1 himself to the soliuidc of Xo gal. Thus ended a ease which set communities by the ears, took men from their families and busi ness to serve as witwssos or jurors S.ich eases and th parties 'wh( bring them should be kicked out of court. They are in every sense demoralizing, and in no sense hirb sorve any meritorious cause or principle. If k.v.N. W. Lank roturnoii home on Tuesday morning.
