A GOOD DAY'S WORK.

work."
"Von, of course," returned the gentle
hearted wife.
"We shall se-. Let the history of your

"No," said Mrs. Harlow, "you shall

Mr. Harlow began.

"Yes.'
"1 cunMdered it desjierato would have
sold out my interest at thirty cents on the
dollar when I left home this morning.
Now the whole claim is secure. I had to
scheme a little. It was sharp practice. -Hut
the thing is done. I don't believe
that another creditor of Wnrfield's will
get a third of his claim."
"The next operation," continued Mr.
Harlow "I ccnsidcred about as good-

Now there's my day's work, Jenny, nnd it
is one to be proud of. I take some credit
to myself for being upon the whole a pret
ty bright sort of a man, and bound to go
through. Let us have your story now."
Tho fate of Mrs. Harlow flushed slightly-
lior husband waited for a few moments,
and then said :
"Let us hear of the yards of stitchinir
nnd the piles of good things made " ,

I Mrs. Harlow still hesitated. Hut after
ja little more urging, hlie began her story
I of a good day's work. or voice was a lit-
tie sub luod, and there was an evident
j shrinking from the subject about which
sho felt constrained to speak.
"1 resolved last night," said she, "after

I Mrs. Harlow looked up witli a timid,
I bashful air at her husband. Shu .lid not

i parllv awav.
' "Yes, Jenny dear, go on."
1 Tho husband's buoyancy of tono was

A letter has been received from Mr. II.
C. Urosvetior to Mr. W. Wriizhtson, Secre
tary, Ac., dated Hacienda de. santil Rita,
lunod, giving a very encouraging ac
count of the prospects of the mining com
pany in which he is concerned, and also
of the others that have been formed for
the same purpose. The yield of the So
nora mines he estimated at 2,000 a ton,
and lie anticipates an equally abundant
return frjtn the S nta liita. The follow
ing extracts from this letter will interest
many of our readers :

The

papers
li'oni t
it' the btii, iu the sh ipo of a letter
e Secrelarv of the (.'oionoiiv 'I'l.,.
letter says that intelligible signals ceased
to be received from Newfoundland at one
o'clock on the morning of the Jd, Irom
some unknown cause, Tim directors and
a corps of scientific and practical electri
cians were at Valentin investigujng thn
matter, with a view, if possible, to reme
dy tho diliiculty.
The quotation of the sliares immediate
ly became quite nominal, the only pi-ice
named being irom .C'lHuto X5U0, withou
any operations.
The London T, saws that a simile
dilhciiiiy was understood to have occurre
temporarily a short time back, nnd the
hope is that the accident is merely one of
those to which tho cable must bo liable,
until (he necessary measures shall havo
been ( ompleted for the protect! in of tho
portion near tho shore. Some disagree
ments between the electricians and Ho.ird
of liirecturs have latterly existed, and
these, it may bo presumed) tend to einbur
rass the general rrocoedings. Mr. White
house, who signs himself "Kloctrician-in-chief,
and one of the four original projec
tors of the Atlantic Telegraph," writes to
the TW,v that ho behoves the injury tu
the cable to ho in the home end, which
ho had foreseen, and had on one occasion
repaired. Ho apprehends that there is
little c.iuso iv jinxicdv, and thinks there
is nothing in the ob-truotions ealoulated
lo dampen the mo t sanguine hopes of ul
timate success. Mr. Whitehouso com
plains of the summary manner in which
he has been banished from tho service of
the Company.
Charles T.' P.right, the Kugiiioer of tho
Atlantic Telegraph Company, received tho
honor of knighthood on the 4th of the
month, hum the Lord Lieutenant of Ire
land. A banquet took place at Kilhirnov oil
the Tib instant, in honor of tho hiving of
the Cable. Tho Lord Liutenaiitof ireland

A 1'itAoii u. Jokk. (iuiz.iug, says Ihe
Mobile Tribune, has souietiineu awkward
results. Lvery good thing has some at
tendant evil, and so of this. There are
dangers accompanying it, that they who
aspi;e to enjoy (ho unspeakable pleasure
of enjoying the frightening, deceiving, or
disappointing of their fellow creatures, in
stead more of old fashioned and humblo
;okes, must m ike up their minds to do bo
at some risk. A ca-e of this sort, which oo
eunvd of late on the l'acilie coast, is thus
related by a 'alil'oi Ilia paper:
"Two of the h'ogue river Indian Chief's a
father and son, were sent down from Fort
Vancouver, W. T to San Fransisco, by
the steamer ''olumbia. On their passage'
down, the Indians were informed by some
of the foolish passengers that they Were
going lo bo hung. Tho savages resolved
to sell their lives dearly ; so, in the dead of
night on the llth of June, while tho pas
sengers were all asleep, these 1 ndians steal
thily arose, and. stealing froiissoine of tho
slumbering guards revolvers and knives,
suddenly commenced an indiscriminate
shooting ami cutting auioiin the people
around tin m. The passengers, startled
from sleep bytho sound of pistol shots and
the shrieking of thewouuded became pnn
ic struck. Tho lights were put out ami Ml
indescribable scene followed. One nasseis-
i ger was shot in the brea.-t. three others
i were out, one woman being badly injured.
(The nllieors ofthe boat" finally armed
j themselves, and after a desperate struggle,
succeeded in woundinn nnd overnowerini'
savajie. They were both wounded one
of them very severely''
Imu.ws as a Matti:h ok fact. A mat
who had been out 'os,t, and been ehasod
by an Indian, writes :
"Much as has been been by poets and by
romantic young ladies about the pictur
esque aspect and the noble form of an tin-
gained, untamable warrior ol tho prairie,
and far be it from me to gainsay them.
