DISCOVERY OF MINES.
The rit Lest ami most viilunblo mint's
have in almost nil instance hecti (Un
covered by accident; often by ignorant
)eiBon ho knew not their reul vnliio,
and pfimt litnca by tbilih-en. To an
Indian luinler is owed tho knowledge
of tho chief American mines, nnd to a
fhciihcrd tho silver mines of l'eru.
This latter, lending bis flocks to feed
on tho sloiies of the Andes, lighted a
fire to cook bin meal, when s pebble,
heated by tho flame, nllracted his at
tention by shining lilto silver. JIc
fuiind the stone munsivo nnd woility,.
and finally cniried it to tho mint al
Limn, where it was tested, and proved
to be pood oro. As tho Spanish laws,
with a view to enconruo mino dis
covery, make it tho property of tho
finder, this lucky shepherd became a
millionaire.
The Sacramento pold fields were
discovered by a Mormon laborer, w ho
worked in a saw mill. Ajxain, in North
Carolina, in IT'.t!!, a child picked up a
yellow stone, of w hich it father, n
rudo settler, thought nothing; but
becauso it weighed fifteen pounds,
used it ns a door-fastener for his cabin,
for ho was so poor that ho bad no
latch. Ho showed this stone to one
of his few visitors, nnd opined it to be
a melnl of some sort, after which ver
dict tho owner used to exhibit it as n
curious rock specimen. Three years
nflerwnnl, on jjoinjr to tho market at
Lafayette, he took the thing to a golil
smiUi, and nsked fifteen shillings for
it, which was very willingly paid.
It was in reality a nugget worth lT'i.
Thus it tool; four years to find out
that tho yellow stones in tho streams
of California, were gold.
It is fair to stale, however, that
scieneo has occasionally predicted
w hero the precious metals have after
ward been found. Sir Itodei ick .Mur-chit-on,
for instance, afier a viit to
tho nurifcrous tracts of tho I'ral
mountains, wns struck by their grout
similarity to some rock specimens'
from Lust Australia; nnd in his ad
dress to tho (icogniphical Society in
114, prophesied that gold would be
found in the latter region. Led by
his observations, one Smith, engaged
in tho iron wotks at Itcrritna, searched
for Rold, and found. Ho came to the
Governor of tho colony with a nugget
in his hand. "See whut I have found,"
said he; "give inr five hundred pounds,
nnd I will show you the place : w hich
t lo Governor declined lo do. Agnin,
Mnegregor, a Scotch shepherd, used
to sell grains and nuggets of gold to
the goldsmiths of Sydney, but would
never reveal w hence ho got tlicm.
It is not u-nnl, however, lor discov
erers of tho precious metals to bo pru
dent; they consider themKclves ' luck"
in this particular line, nnd will leave
or sell n good "find" in hopes of find
ing a heller. This is what tho Span
iards call "tho miner's frenzy." Thus,
tho richest vein of silver in Chili, was
discovered by G'odoy, a hunter in the
j Andes, raligued by tho chase, he
seated himself, on one occasion, under
tho (heller of a great rock, nnd was
struck by the color and brightness of
a projecting part. Ho chipped the
'slono with n knife, nnd finding that
lio could cut it (to use Ins ow n expres
sion) like) cheese, bo took a specimen
of il to Copinpo. It was found to be
chloride of silver. Ho agreed to share
the profits of his discovery with n rich
man, who engaged to work the mine ;
they came at once to ints-.es of silver;
but (iodoy sold his interest in the
matter lor two thousand eight hun
dred pourds, nnd started to find more
mines; nnd having wandered about
tho Andes for somo years, died, hav
ing met with no moro "luck," nnd
n iihoiil a penny.
Two brothore,nnmod Molakos.discov
ered nl Copinpo, in n crevice opened
vv somo eat thoiiuke, nn enormous
y somo c
Jock of sil
silver ore, the culling, trans.
port, nnd fusion of which wasoensy,
that these ignorant men cfl'eeled it
w ilhotit assistance ; nnd less than two
years realized ono hundred nnd forty
thousand pounds. They squandered,
however, this enormous sum in gam-
I bling and dissipation ; nnd w hen their
j mino tierame suddenly exhausted,
thry had not even the wretched pit
jtnnco left on which they had begun.

PRINCIPLES)
LEA It FIELD, PA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1870.
Some poor Irinhmon, workers in a
noiMtorintf mine, wvvo bo fortunuti
nr to hit upon it. They wore so tin
lettered an not to bo uWo to write
their own names, but they were excel
lent Aillowfl. They built a chnpcl, to
thank (!od for his favors; then they
erected linndsnmo villus, nnd placed
their workmen in exceptional po?i
tions; nnd they went by turns every
week to San Francisco to spend their
ingots of gold. They retain their
simplicity, though with nn income as
largo ns that of many princes in
Kuropc, but refused to furnish nny
statement of their receipts.
The success of fjould nnd Curry in
their 'evnda silver mines is even
moro nKluunding ; they were so poor
that they were at firnt obliged lo' bar
ter two-thirds of their claim to a
grocor iir the nccosKurioH of life, not
withstanding which they have realized
enormous sums for their own portion.
Including' tho product of lH,r)7. the
(i oti.d nnd Curry Company hare four
teen millions of dollars out of their!
mino j
Tho history of tho Monte Catini
mine in Tuscany, is very curious, i
M. Porto, its original owner, was half
ruined by it, nnd sold it in 1K.J7. 1
Immediately afterward, a block of
maHHive ore was found that paid all ,
expenses, and left four thousand
pounds net profit. Then for fifteen
years tho mine produced forty thou
sand pounds a Your, and still conlin
ues to j ield largely. M. I'ortc. who
had witncficd this heart-rending
spectacle of the immediate success of
others, w here ho had labored in vain
for years, soon died in grief. Jlis

THE LAST WHITE ROSE.
In tho lowest dungeon under the
Iialliiini Tower, a prisoner tossed fo
vorisbly on his low pallet. Grief nnd
sickness liad laid I heir wasting hands
upon him, yet they could not quite
quench tho tiro of a nohlo eye, nor
disguise I ho symmetry of n princely
form. For eleven ' "years Edward
Courtney, "Tho Last White Itoso," us
he was called, hero had languished.
Suddenly the prisoner raised his
head. Tho noiso of chains nnd bolis
clanked heavily through tho vault,
nnd In a moment the jailor stood bc
foro him. Willi a surly sort of a
growl ho placed iho crust, which was
to form tho captive's meal, beside
hjrn.
"liood F.rwin, I am ill at caso to
day," said Courtney ; "could not thy
charity procure me a morsel of meat 1"
"Nay, master," said tho man ; "such
comforts, bcliko, como not within
prison faro at lenst, not here."
' Wouldst thou dress it for mo, were
! lo procure it?" nskod tho sufferer.
"Thou procure it!" A brutal laugh,
which ended in a low chuckle, was
his only nnswer.
A moment more, nnd tho gigantic
form was withdrawn, and Courtney
with a sigh, fell back upon his rude
couch, l'resently a gleam or light
shono through it chink in tho wall, a
soil purring followed, nnd a cut rub
bed the hand of the prisoner.
"Ah my faithful friend," said Ihe
curl, "thou, at least, wouldst sympa
thise, nrd ihou inightest."
His soliloquy was interrupted by
Iho booming of cannon nnd tho ring
ing of distant bells. A moment moro
and tho door of tho cell was flung
open, and ho wus desired to come
forth.
.Surrounded by tho noblest peers of
her realm, among w hem Northumber
land und Norfolk wero distinguished
as occupying tho place of honor on
her right band, and billowed by ladies
and knights blazing in jewels, Altry
Tudor entered tho capital of her
renlni. Her palo, thin face claimed
all tho benuly it ever knew, and her
tall, dignified form was habited inn
robe of dark velvet, bound nt the
throat nnd waist with pearls. A
barb, lis it was termed, studded with
pearls, shaded her face, and from it,
fastened by a brooch of gems, flowed
a heavy veil of twisted silk und gold.
Her melancholy eyc wandered
over tho thousands crowtling to do
her homage, and a sad smilo parted
her lips, occasionally, ns sho spoko a
I few words to the curl, on her right.
I On her left rodo Kli.ahelh in nil the
' pride of youthful beauty; her golden
j hair, escaping the band which fasten -ed
it, tlowod over her queenly neck,

to her noblo form, contrasting with

THE FICKLED WATCH.
Tho other day wo mot Wiggins, nnd
ho had a silver eased watch hunting
caso al that. Wo havo known Wig
gins five nnd-twonty years and never
know hiin to carry a watch before
Wo nskod him whero ho got it. Ho
gavo us a rod nnd a leer, nnd said
that ho would tell us.
"Last fall," ho commenced, "I kill
od Iho old brimllo cow, and put the
best pnrt of her into thn beef barrel.
I didn't want to mako it very salt, so
I set il out in tho shed, whero the
frost might touch it nnd keep it ; nnd
you'd believe it mndo good eating."
"One day my wife says to me says
sho "Wiggins pears lo me our hoof is
going mighty fast." 1 went nnd look
ed, nnd, sure enough, It wus going
going rat her faster'n I thought than
it ought to. "1'vo noticed il lower
ing unaccountably this long time, said
my wife. Somebody is slcaling it.
Why don't yc set a trap ?"
lint my neighbors were nil good
hearted kind of folks though ono or
two of tlicm might be just a lectio in
clined to poke round where they did
not belong nnd I did not want lo hurt
them. I concluded howsotnever, that
il would be best to put tho barrel,
with what little beef was left down
in tho celler, and I did it.
"Well, when tho beef was all used
up, nnd I went to clear nut tho barrel,
I found this watch in tho pickle. Il
looked to mo liko Tom Sherman's
w atch. Tom had worked fornio con
siderable, and I havo scon bim have
the watch, or one vcrv niticli liko it.
When I saw Tom I snowed bim the
watch, and he sitid right off, it w as
his.
"How did ye loso il ?" said I.
"1 carried il in my pocket without a
chain, nnd must havo dropped it out
w hen I was stooping," said bo.
"Well," said I, "then yo must hnvc
been stooping over my beef barrel,
for I found it in tho pickle !"
"With that Tom looked kind of
sheepish; nnd 1 guess ho saw the
twinkle in my eye."
"Let mo look ut that watch again,"
Enid ho.
Ho looked nt it a little whilo and
then bo banded it bark to mo.
"tin tho whole, Mr. Wiggins," saiil
he, "I guess that ain't ny watch,
arter all. It must belong to somebody
else." And with that ho walked off.
"I carried tho watch lo our jeweler,
nnd he found that the cases had shut
so tight that tho works hadn't been
pickled a bit; nnd for a dollar bo
cl"ancd it up in good shape ; and set
it a running." It's a first-rate time
keeper, and I reckon that whoever
look my beef paid all 'twas worth."
A Truthful Way of Putting It.
Thero is hardly nny ono who has
not had melancholy oeension to know
that the home education of children is
a duly all hut universally shirked in
this country. Wo delegate this, as
wo delegate everything else, and Irust
that boarding-schools, (lay-schools nnd
Sunday-schools will repair tho mis
chief occasioned by our negligence.
At a meeting this week of the Boston
Sunday School Society, the Kev. Mr
Truflon complained that "children aro
no longer brought up they nro tum
bled up ; it is dono by machinery.
Once tho mother used to teach the
children around tho hearth slono.
Now they nro sent to Sunday School,
and sing,"
"1 want tn 1m an angid,

"I nm nfrnid," said Her. Mr. Traf
Ion, dolorously, "that family govern

Wo havo plenty of Little Men und
Lilllo Women in America, but no

should be nn enlightened nnd con
scientious Despotism, nnd wo have
made it a Democracy ; wo nro so fond
of our children that we mostly let
them havo their own w ay in diet, nnd
diversion, and drots ; in the disposi
tion of Iheir lime; in their demounor
toward their ciders nnd superiors; in
their morals nnd in their manners,
which nre only morals in notion ; un
til Ihe whole land swarms with nn in
solent, teasing, worrying, tormenting
progeny, to tho increase of old bacho
lois and Iho distress of adult every
body. Tho weakness which engen
ders this indulgence does not deserve
to bo called love. It is simply a weak
and silly partiality for one's own, en
couraged by indolence and confirmed
by hurrying pursuits outside of home
Tho impulsive would find a remedy
for this in flogging; but every good
observer knows that thero is a belter
and a wiser way.

Loxo Faces What a sad mistake
it is to supposo that a man should he
gloomy becauso he is devout; us if
niiery were acceptable lo God on its
own account, and happiness an offence
against his dignity. A modern writer
says of a certain class :
"Thero is a secret unbelief among
somo men thai God is displeased with
men's happiness, and so the)- slink
about creation, ashamed nnd afraid
to enjoy anything!"

Hood says : "They think tbeyr'e pious

A good man is almost nlways a

choly, but ho who has God's smilo of

Johnson said ho "never knew a villain
in his life that was not, on tho whole,
an unhappy dog."
