time of writing stands at li0 above.
Of course the winter colony is small.

small lakes, called Mary and Ange-
line, near the hotel, are now covered
with solid ice a foot in thickness.
Tne skating is excellent as it is on
Dunner Lake. There ponds are, in
summer, provided wilh boats, aud
anglers find good sport in them.
There are in them some
very large
Silver LaSe trout, ine progeny

Within five miles of Summit and
Cisco are the South fork of the Yuba
and the North fork of the American
River. Duriug the p:ist season
I Eastern, native and McCloud River
trout nave ueen caugui, m were

ctem to take kindly to the water,
and are so prolific as to promise
snort for all time. Lake trout are
caught all winter through holes in
the ice, and where the ice is thin and . a six-sh.ioter, or a vigilance comtnit
bait is placed on the surface, the j tee would take up the trail and five
little fellows come up and butt their j a necktie party in his honor, but
noses, to the amusement of lookers-; there re risks in ail iii.es of buni
on. Old trout, however, are not so
easily
deceived. They are also, in
ihe proper season, very particular as
to' the make and color of the riits to
wnirn tuej rise.
. Silver-gray foxes are abundant
this winter, and their pelts brir;g
from S10 to S40 in the New York
market. Many of the mountaineers
are miners in summer and trappers
in winter, and during the winter of
1SS4 85 a Be.-ir Valley trapper secur
ed sixteen of those valuable animals.
Black and cinnamon bear are found
.n summer, but now they are hiber
nating, and the only species of the
cenus Crsus to be found abroad is
tne old grizzly. Deer are plenty on
ihe American river hills, and old
settlers take this as the sign of an
open winter. Still, it is but fair to
suppose that only the more hardy
bucks are to be seen at this elevation
during mid-winter. Quail and
grouse are abundant near the sum
mit until October and November,
but with the apnroacn or cold
weather they migrate toward the
vallev. Summit is a favori'.e sum
mer resort for the botanis'3 of the
California Academy cf Sciences, and
many of the rarest specimens in the
Academy's herbarium are ticketed
"Summit" cr "Cisco."
Cisco, fourteen miUs below the
summit, has an elevation of more
than oJlW feet. A i ew and large
hotel has been built during the past
season, ond the town is now prepar
ed to compete with Summit, Soda
Springs and Blue Canyou for the
patronage of summer tourists and
health seekers. The drives about
Cisco are one of the chief attractions
of the t.lace. following, as thev do
'.he wild river canyons of the Upper
Sierra. The snow-sheds hide the
scenery between the summit and
Blue Canyon, but a walk outride or
upon the top of the sheds opens
everchaneine views that are equal
to these of the famous valleys of
Tuolumne and Mariposa counties.
The canyon at the head of the South
Yuba is cow filled with ice and snow
and the streams burst fn m under
neath the glacier wilh all the fury
that travelers are wont toa.-crineto
the Rhone. Many of the largest
reservoirs belonging to the ditch
systtm of Placer and Nevada coun
ties are ia this immediate vicinity,
and the men in charge are kept
busy night and day attending to the
demands of hydraulic miners.
Almost all the large miners of Placer
and Nevada are availing themselves
of the full head of water, and some
of the owners have so far complied
I with the spirit of the Circuit Court
decisions as to build impounding
dams.
In many places the enow-sheds
are scorched aud blackened by fire,
and were it not for the complete fire

There was a day when the haugh

ruled this MossoDiing land, rolled

j motions, and l;.y d.;7.ing in the sun
without fear ot the encroachment ot
his fell enemies, soap, spelling-books
ancestors hi'd built his adobe house.
; &t,d
the onlv requirements of the
kitchen were a few strings of red
pepper, some onions, a couple bags-
! of beans, several dozen dogs, and a
cotton shirt A tnoughtlul Provi
dence placed within his reach oppor
tunities for stealing tobacco, and the
desires of his soul soared no further.
In the remote fastntsses of the Ter
ritory the complexion of the greaser
wus that of tarnished copper, but'in
the neighborhood of long establish
ed military posts the prevailing hue
whs much lighter. ILs only source
of wealth was the ca'tle trade, which
he conducted t n thy simple but sci
entific New Mexican principle of
finding a herd that wssn't too care
fully watched and taking his pick
from it. Sometimes, of cours, the
i owner ot thestock remonstrated with
i ness. Ouce he had acquired the
j nucleus of a herd all a greaser had
to do was to swap off a l3me heifer
for a loaded sbot-aun and lie ;o the
sand and watch the nucleus increase.
This method of catt'.e rairiug obvi
ated the disagreeable nec-err-ity oi
bricgiDz dollars and cents into the
transaction, and gave a tone to com
merce that is unknown iu the North.
Thus equipped with property, a
greaser's h!e was mapped out com
pletely, and having married the lady
of his choice he had not.iir.g with
which to kill time but await the in
evitable day ot hi return to du?-t
and bequeath his cotton shirt and
cattle to the little greaser?.
Philosophers say that c.imate and
diet have a powerful eJect upon
morals. If this be true, can you in
form me how morals will develop in
a climate where the rain falls every
day for six weeks, and the air is as
dry as powder the rest of the year,
and where the steady diet ol the
average citiz-rn is red pepper, onions
and blue beans? Without red pep
per the'greaser's life would Lea bur
den to him. The pods he uses are
tbout as long 83 y.ur hand and
hotter than a bluet furnace, and
one of them taken inwardly wiii
smelt all the Christianity out of a
white man in three miautes. The
onions are 33 large as soup-plates,
and have the happy knack ot giving
their consumer a breath like a buz
zaid. Of the blue bean-' I will siiii
plv say nothing. Now, when a man
hides away daily three larg", luxuri
ous meals of the.-e edihhs, and nev
er heais a eeriiion, I iisk you as a
f -ir-minded man if you expect him
to be ser.sitive on the delicate quer
tiors of etiquette and propriety ?

The Pretty Baby.
"Isn't he a pretty baby, John ?
See, just look at hiin," and the moth
er holds up the tiny creature to pa
pa, who kisset and fondles him lov
ingly. "Yes, Kate, he is a pretty baby,
but Tom was a pretty baby, "too, yoa
remember."
"Yes. Tom was a pretty baby
everybody said eo," and she glanced
across the room at a sunny-faced
four-year old. "but Willie ia not like
Tom. Willie's hair is light, aud bis
eyes," looking wistfully into the ba
by's face, "are dark, and so deep,
that when I look in them I am al
most afraid, they have sach a far
away light they seem to see some
thing we cannot."
Ob, nonsense ! don't think that
He'll grow up to be a fine fellow.
But Kate, I wouldn't think so much
about him, he's a dear, good little
fellow, hut I wouldn't worship him ;
it isn't riiht
"As if I c u!d hflp it" the moth
er says, reproachfully pressing the
small form closer and looking into
the dark eyes yearningly.
A month passes away, and one
day they stand beside a small, white
casket, within which the pretty ba
by was sleeping. Ah, the mother's
eyes were sharp, and when friends
said, "What beautiful bright eyes be
has," she saw the far away look and
knew it as the light tha: was never
on land or sex
"On, Johu, John "she moaned, "I
knew he wasn't long for thin world.
I could see it in his eyes. Oa, my
pretty baby !"'
"Yes, dear, you were right," says
papa, and there is a quiver ia the
firm voice; "if i; had pleased G-d t"
have left him with us we would
hav cared for him the be-t we
could, but we mu-tgiv-i him up. fir
it is his will, and he knows what is
oest tor u."
"Yes, I know it," and she t-ops
and cut a tiny wi.p of hair from
the baby's head.
"On, John yoa said I worshiped
him. I did, oh, I did, and G.td fur
tive me, I can't b sorry f.r it now,
he was such a dear, pretty babe."
Years pass on. Other babies are
born. They are all prettv bnbies,
every one who sees them says that,
but none are like the baby with the
far-away look. As they grow up
they love to gather around mother's
chair, and she never tires telling of
the dark eyed baby who went to live
with G.id.
And, when with childish curiosity
they opened the Bible to look at the
pictures, and find between the
leaves a tiny wisp of hair tied with
a white satin ribbon, they touch it
reverently and whisper beneath their
breath, "f he pretty baby."
Years still pa-s on. The children
frrw to be sturdf men and women.
(and a- trie mother watches them she
soaictiines thinks, II he had lived
he would have been such a beautiful
man," and then she smiles and i3
glad that in Heaven there is no time,
-tnd no matter how the others may
chsnge he is still the pretty baby.
0.,e day they gathered around ber
bed, and Liok-d in each other's faces
mourn fully whispering :
"She is dying."
She strefhed her thin hand to
ward tiie table on which the old
Rii'le rests, and thev sav :
"The baby's hair."
Thev place it in her hand. She
kiesasit ter.derly, aud a r.rig'it liht
comes into the dim old eyes, and
and they sny :
"What does she see?"
She smiies and whispers. "The
pretty baby."
They place the wisp of hair on
her breast, and fold the wrinkled
handn upon it, and tenderly lay ber
hy th ide of the pretty baby.

A Quaker Printer's Proverbs.
Never send an article for publica
tion without giving the editor thy
name, for thy name oftentimes se
cures publication to wortblers arti
cles. Thou shou'd-t not rap at the door
of a printing office, for he that an
swereth the rap sneeretu in his sleeve
and loseth time.
Never do thou louf . about nor
I knock down type, or the boys will
love thee as they do the shade trees
when thou havest.
Thou shou'd.-t i. ever read the copy
oa the printer's ca.-es, or the sharp
and hooked '-or-tainer thereof, or he
may kneck thee down.
Never inquire ot the editor for
news, for behold it is his bu-iness to
give it to thee at the appointed time
without asking foj: it.
It is not right that thou shou'd-t
ask him who l the author of an ar
ticle, for it is his duty to keep such
things unto himself.
U hen thou dost enter his cflict,
take heed unto thyself that thou dost
nut lnolf nt wtoit i-nr.i-frtm thee cot.
or mat is noi meet in tne sigm oi
good breeding.
Neither examine thou the proof
sheet, for it is not ready to meet
thine eye, that thou mayst under
stand. TLou shou'dst cot delude thyself
with the thought that thou hast sav
ed a few cents when thou hast secur
ed a dead-head copy of his paper,
for w hil.-t the printer may smile and
say it's all mht, he'll never forget
your meanness.
Many suffering people drag them

Ilia Wife Saied Him
Lor g ar.d wearily bad bis anxious
wif waited, when at last the hus
band entered ar.d, with Lift fran.e
convulsed with anguh-b, threw Lim-
jseif in'o a ch:iir, and burying Lis
'face in Lis Lands, groaned:
! We are ruined : to-morrow's son
! will see the proud r.ame of Jer.kir.s
among the ht of hopeless bank
rupts." Then out spoke the noble wife:
" Say not so, my dear Peter ; all is
not lost We have gone without ice
for the last three months, and bere
is the money you gave me for the
ice-man," aDd she placed 150,000 on
the table.
The worn, weary face of the bus
band liuhted up with joy as he ex
claimed: "Maria, you are a daisy ; if .we
had gore without gas for the same
time, I would have retired from bus
