TIMELY TOPICS.
r Emigration nt tho rort of New York
for the first six months ot 1880 shows
a larger total by 19,000 than nt the same
period in 1872, which until now had
stood hs the highest figure of the past
twenty-five years. The total for the
past six months is 177,000, or more than
three times the number of those who
came during the same period of laEt
year.
The aggregato cost of the several
bridges that span the Mississippi river,
from St. Louis to St. Paul, has been
$20,573,000, ranging from $130,000 for
the bridge at Prairie du Chien to $11,
673,000 for that of St. Louis. The annual
tolls upon the merchandise crossing the
river upon these brideps is oflioially
stated to amount to $2,803,725, or nearly
ten and a quarter per cent, upon the
original cost.
A parliamentary document gives the
certified expenses of members returned
at the last English general election.
The costs, of course, vary according to
place and circumstances. The lowest
are about $2,500 in small boroughs.
But some, especially in counties, go
over $50,000. At the last general elec
tion, six years ago, tha total cost was
over $7,500,000, or an average of $11,600
for each one of the 650 members.
A New York paper remarks editori
ally that " it is a safe prediction that the
ocean steamship of the future, with its
improved compartment build, its per
fected code of signals, its electric lights,
its buffers, its apparatus tor deluging a
ure as soon as it shows itself, its im
proved lifeboats and rafts, ready for use
at a minute's warning, and its thoroughly-drilled
crew, will make our
children wonder at the steamshins to
which their rash parents were wont to
intrust their lives."
The facts, so far as they are obtain
able, go to show that New Yorkers pay
out more money for flowers than the
people of any other citv. On New
Year's day, 1814, the sales of the largest
shop then in New York only amounted
to $200, and the sales of all the shons
then in the city only amounted to about
$1,000. It is now said that the sales of
Mowers on that day in New York amount
to not less than $50,000. The sales
throughout tho year extend far into the
uiimuus. tviLuin a ramus oi twelve
miles from the center of the city it is
estimated that there are fully 500 floral
establishments, and that the capital in
vested in land, buildings and stock is
not less man sa.ooo.ooo or $10,000,000
Xiie greenhouses in which the flowers
sold are cultivated are on the upper part
of Manhattan Island, in Hudson county,

Why Life Is a Disappointment.
Life is a disappointment, chiefly
Because tnose wno are starting in it
overestimate their own strength and
underrate that of their competitors
Selx-sufliciency and ignorance are the
pioneers of defeated expectations. The
looker-on is not disappointed ; it is the
actor who is Overweening self-confi
dence refuses to see difliculties; and
thus the pioparation which might
overcome them is neglected. The defeat
is .crushing, because it was deemed
impossible. Presumption and arrogance
have burned tho bridges, and have left
no opportunity to gather the shattered
forces by retreat. There seems to be no
help for these blunders; each generation
must learn for itself. There is a point
where teaching ends and experience
begins. It is this which has set bounds
to human knowledge. No man can
take up tho work of another. Where
it has been loft there it must remain.
The father cannot give or bequeath the
child his experience, as he can his
property. Men may vaunt themselves
as they will, but there is limit to their
power; and that limit seems in some
cases to have been reached in one man .
Shakespeare and Bacon have had no
successors. No man has been able to
take up their work where they left it.
So far as men's efforts are concerned
their works are completed. As they
left them so they remain. No man has
yet appeared who can equal what they
have done, much less improve upon it.
As far as we know, they reached the
limit of man's power in the direction in
which they taught. The chiid must
mistake the road just as the parent
mistook it, and learn what is the
right road only when too old
and weary to walk in it.
And perhaps it is well that it
is so. Tho wisdom of age and the
form of youth cannot be joined in b auty.
Could the young know their true
strength, and foresee the;difficulties they
have to encounter, they would not fall
by tho way, but would iaint in the
beginning. Favorable circumstances
bear men on to fortune to a greater
extent than the successful are willing to
admit. In my own profession, those
who have achieved success in the early
part of their career have fallen heir to
the practice of a father or a preceptor.
The, inheritor of a practice is a whole
generation ahead of him who is the
founder of one.
"Punning" for Gold.
When gold has been discovered in any
region (and this usually happens
through some lucky accident), adven
turous men rush to the spot in crowds,
and at once look for more signs of it.
This search is called "prospecting,"
and it is done by parties of two or
three, who go along the creeks flowing
down from the hills, and test the gravel
in the banks until they find what they
seek. The prospector's outfit consists
of as much provision as he can carry on
his back or pack on a donkey, a couple
of blankets, guns and ammunition, a
few cookin-uttnslli, a shovel and a
pick, and a gold-pan. The last is the
most important of all these, excepting
food. It is made of sheet-iron, and is
sliiped much like un extra large milk
pan. The prospectors, who call each
other partner, or " pard " for short,
agreeing to divide all they find, trudge
along all. day beside their Mexican
donkey, keeping their eyes keenly upon
the lookout, and slowly climbing to
ward the head ot the ravine or gulch
down which the creek plunges. Finally
they come to a point where the gulch
widens out a little, or perhaps where a
rivulet flows down from a side-hill, and
a high bank of gravel has collected,
Jlieii they id their donkeys feed upon.
the short, crisp crass, or nibble the
white sage, while they climb a little
way up the bank and dig a pit a few
ieei aeep.
You may sea these "prospect-holes "
all over t he mountains, for many times
nothing has been found at the bottom
of them to justify further opprations
there; and a man who is unlucky
enough to dig many of these fruitless
pits gets the reputation of being a
' gopher," and finds himself laughed at
a good deal.
Their prospect-hole dug down to whore
tho gravel is firm, thpy scoop up a pan
ful of dirt and carry it down to the
margin of the stream. First having
picked out the large pieces of stone, one
of the prospectors then takes tlio pan in

gently shaking the pan, allows the water
to flow over the edge and run away.
carrying with it the lightest portions of
the soil. This is done repeatedly, but
as less and less of tho heavier dirt is
left behind, greater care must be used.
It requires much dexterity and practice
to keep tho bottom of tho pan always
lower than the edge and at the same
time dip up and pour out the water
without throwing away more earth
than you wish to. Tender manage
ment for eight or ten minutes, however,
gets rid oi everytning except a spoon
ful of black sand, and among this (if
you nave oeen successiui; gleam Tcllow
particles ot gold, wnicn have settled to
the bottom, and have been left behind
in the incessant agitation and washing
away of the earth, because they were
hrtvicr than anything else in the pan
This operation is called "washing" or
panning-out:" but it is not omto done
yet, for tho "colors" or particles of gold
must be separated from the black grains,
wmcu are mainly oi iron or lead, and by
passing a magnet back and forth through
them, these will be dragged out, stick
ing to it. The gold is then weighed and
the value estimated. Nowadays, if a
prospector finds he can count on three
cents on every panful of dirt, lie knows
he can make money by the help of
machinery: but if he is tj do his work
wnony oy nana lie must collect at least
ten cents from each pan, and in the early
days this would have been thought very
moderate pay. There used to be mines
in Colorado known as "pound-diggings,"
because it was said that a pound weight
of gold a day could be saved by every
man who worked there.
After testing here and there, our pros
pectors decide upon the best part cf the
gravel-bank (which they would call a
" bar "), and take possession of a small
tract or "claim," the amount of which
is regulated by law, and this ' claim "
they mark by driving stakes down and
writing their names and the boundaries
upon thorn. St. Nicholas.
A Humorist Catches a Shark.
Burdette, the Burlington Eawkeye
humorist, tells how he caught a shark
off Nantucket !
Ic is fun. A delightful sail of nine
miles brought us to the fishing grounds.
We anchored off Great Point and de

company. This was one of the pleasant
est numbers in the programme and
would have been encored had there
been anything left. Then we caught
sharks.
There is a great iron hook, with two
feet of chain fastened to it, and the rest
is a line strong enough to pull a cotton
wood stump. You load the hook with
bluefish, then let it sink to the bottom,
and wait in tranquility and patience for
a bite. The shark takes hold of a bait
in a mean, sneaking, grudging way, as
though he didn t care much about it
and believed vou were a liar anvhow
and only took it because he thought he
was stealing it. He lias to roll o?er he

Mississippi catfish hasn't lost himself

If you ever lived on a farm and led a re

go into the woods on both sides of the
road and climb trees, you know about
what it is to haul in a shark. You yell

A horse fed on good hay will keep in
good condition when worked only
enough to give sufficient exercise. If fed
cut straw only he should have from six
to eight quarts of oats per diem with
his straw, and if he has much work to
do tho grain ration should bo increased
to ten. twelve or more quarts daily; In
some livery stables when straw is fed, a
mixture of oats, bran and corn meal is
fed, which keeps the animals looking
and doing belter than when fed only oats
and straw. It would bo near enough
for all practical purposes to call tho
straw worth half ai much as good hay,
and the other half must be supplied in
the shape of grain. Country Gentleman.
The Economy or SollliiR,
Soiling saves feed rnd labor. One
acre of bats wilLfced twenty-five cows
for a week. An acre of good clover
and orchard grass has fed the same
number four days. An acre of half
grown corn, planted in rows three feet
apart, will feed them for ten days, and
when full-grown will last for twenty
days. Twenty-five cows will use up
one acre of good pasture in one day.
But in soiling all the ground can ba
made to produce two crops, ad some
of it three, and although the pasture
will keep on growing, yet it will not
grow so fast as crops-on plowed ground,
and the surface soon becomes soiled and
spoiled by the droppings. On the other
hand, when cows are soiled, all me
manure is saved, and can be gathered
and put out on the fields as it may be
wanted. There is economy in feeding
and in saving manure ; and in practice
the two savings are equivalent to doub
ling the stock which any number o
ncres can carry. It is a practice adapted
especially for dairy larming on nigu
priced lan is, and where mere is a
market for all kinds of produce. There
are no panaceas or specifics which will
suit every case, and those persons who
make hobbies ot mings wmcu are use
ful or practicable in suitable cases, and
insist they are applicable everywhere,
will be apt to disappoint themselves and
those who listen to them. The wise
course is to find out what suits each
particular case and then persevere with
it until it is made successful

Whale Killing With Bombs.
The dangerous adventures of whaling
ships have been from time Immemorial
a source of excitement to the juvenile
literary mind, from the fact that the
slaughter and capture of the "monarch
ot tue ueep" has, until within a few
years, been attended with dangers nnd
hardships which were only braved by
ine uaraiest ana most courageous ot the
followers of the sea; but the inventive
genius of man has of late years discov
ered a system for the capture of the
whale which is attended with as little
danger as nn ordinary yachting cruiEO
or fishing excursion. A small steamer
known as the Daisy Whiteiaw, built
for the purpose of killing whales in
the waters contiguous to our harbor,
has for some time heen suncesslullv
engaged in the capture of these mam-
moui inuaonants of tho sea, and in
several voyages has nevir failed to kill
from one to three of tho?e gigantic ani
mals. Instead of the time-honored and
not always effective harpoon, a weapon
known as the bomb-rocket is used.
which is fired from a mortar and ex
plodes within the body of the whale,
killing it almost iustantly. The large
finback whale recently on exhibition
at the loot of Second street was killed
by the gun of this steamer. Tne whales
abound in large numbers at this season
of the year between tha Heads and the
farallone islands. Tho varieties indig
enous to these watci s are the finback,
hunchback, California gray and sulphur
bottom. The latter is the largest of
the whaie species, nnd one 150 feet long
was chased by the Whiteiaw for several
hours on her last trip, but owing to tho
fact that it was looking for feed and very
erratic in its movements the gun could
not be brought to bear on him.
Under ordinary circumstances an eld
whaler can determine the course of a
whale when it disappears under water,
and can tell within a few feet where it
will come up to " blow," but when the
whale is looking for feed its course under
the water cannot be calculated within
any degree of ceitainty. San Francisco

Bucked Over a Precipice.
George Clement, of Oakland, a school
teacher, narrowly escaped death while
hunting in Hall's valley, about fourteen

fine buck, nnd fired. The animal fell to
the ground and lav as if dead. Mr.
Clement hastened up to the body nnd
was engagea m an inspection ot it- hne
proportions when the animal suddenlv
sprang up and rushed on him. Mr.
Ciement was taken u.. unfits, but in
stead of retreating he grasped the antlers
or tue miuriated animal, and tor a few
moments held him at arm's length like
a vise. They stood facing each other
several moments, when the hunter be
gan to yield gradually to his more for
midable antagonist. The buck finally
seemed to be infused with new life, and
with a desperate ettort hurled the hun
ter over a cliff. They both rolled down
togethe'. to the bottom ot the precipice,
about eighty feet. The buck was killed
hefore he reached the bottom, and Mr.
Clement had his collar-bone broken and
sustained severe bruises. When Mr.
Clement was able to arise, he crawled up

Montlord. His answer is one of the
most charming things ever written:
The present life is sleeping and waking:
it is "good-night " on going to bed, and

wonder what the day will bring forth;
it is rain on the window as one sits by

see the flowers and hear tho birds sing;
it is to have news from east, west, north
and south ; it is to read old books and
n w books: it is to see pictures and
hear musio; It is to nave Dun-iays, n is
to nratr with a familv morning and ever
inz: it is to bit in the twilight aud medi-
tate: it is to havj breakfast ana dinner
