M IS IMP "OOPHER3." BT E. A. MAlHfcWS. Near all great mines of gold or sil ver, there are nnmbers of "pookets" or places in the metal-bearing strata, where the ore seems to collect in great purity and in suoh a manner as to be easily handled. Especially a uong the gold mines these deposits are foand, and in all sorts of unexpected plaoes. There are hundreds of men among tbe mining bills, who make their living by "gophering." They burrow in the hillsides for the rich ore, like the sly little creatures for whom they are named. There seems to be a peculiar fascina tion about pocket-mining, and those who once get interested in it are not willing to work again in tbo regular mines. Especially is this the case when the "Gopher" has been so lucky as to come across a fall "pocket," where in a few hours, he has worked out a small fortune. On these rough hill sides, there have been many such pruali drifts of pnre ore, and the Gophers by the aid of their sturdy bur rows, have carried it only a few feet down to the running walr, and there "rocked-ont" comfortable fortnnes with the old-fashioned "gold-rocker." One old miner told us of a young man who was prospecting and found by accident a rich pocket. He went quietly to the task, a :d in a very few days had the whole "lead" safe loaded on the backs of twenty-five animals. He baaled it to market, and after paying all expenses, found himself the owner of more than ten thoujand dol lars. This young man had the good sense to be satisfied, and went hone with his money. But most of the Go phers are so fascinated by tbe apparent "luck" of the thing, that they go on trying to find another rioh pocket, and then another; too often only to be sadly disappointed. Many laces abound in small drifts, and yet no large mines are near. 8 tch localities are usually ov- r-run by orowds who have heard of the "finds" and rash to the spot in such wild haste hat there is often real suffering among hem from lack of food and lodging. One of the richest specimens of sil ver ore ever found in our westeri mountains, was valued at 13,629 ounoes in silver, and thirty ounces in gold, per ton. It was picked np in the shape of a "chunk" weighing about seven pounds, and far from any large de posit." Such finds are not nnnsaal.althongh of course, the size is wonderful. Many small fortunes are quietly accumulated by the Gophers, and many more might have the same good lack, were it not for the mad taste to get rich thai reems to sweep over tbs camp, like t cruel epidemic, leaving no man un touched. Among regular miners the Gophers are objects of more or lees good na tured toleranoe, being regarded as mere "camp followers" in tbe great army ot fortune hunters. Sometimes there is a ohanoe-find that makes the "Gopher" happy, and he thinks that luck has smiled on him at last. He spends this money, and many days and weeks in seeking for another and richer "pocket." Perhaps he flu ds it most likely, however, he does sot, and the poor "Gopher" has to try it over again. "As hopeful as a Gopher" is a mfn ing saying, and only those who have ever lived in a mining country oan realize its meaning. GLEANINGS AT HOME ABKOAD.

If he fail to distinguish his ducks he may easily fill his game bag with some ot the most uneatable of winged creatures. Dnck are divided, not so ranch by the naturalist as by tbe sportsman. ,-. unto two distinct kinds tbe diving ducks, or those that seek their food at the bottom of the water; ai d the non divers, or those which only dip their heads beneath the water for food, but not their bodies; or, if they dive, dive but a little way do an. The divers seem to find tome very questionable food in the muddy depths, for the flesh of nearly all of them is fishy in taste, tough, oily, and unfit for food. Among the divers are the pochard, the golden eye, the di Cerent kind of scoters, together with tbe smew, scaup, and merganser above mentioned. These ducks are all, as a rule, fre quenters of the sea, and all except the pochard nearly uneatable; while the sorfaoe feeding ducks who are. If I mistake not, eaters ot vegetable matter only haunt tbe sea occasionally, and love best the river, the reedy pool, and the marsh.

Prom this latter point of view it may be remarked that they probably owa their agreeaide flavor, not so muoh to any intrinsic culinary virtue ot their own, as to the faot that they feed on the wholesome weeds that grow in fresh water; while the non-cookable fowl feed on the bbhy, briny slime of the sea bottom, in proof of which it may he observed that tbe diving yo hard is only good to eat when he resorts to fresh wa er, and then he is very good; while the non diving widgeon loses of fitness for the spit or oven when he goes to sea, as he is far too fond of doing. There is no easier bird to approach in his inland haunts and none earner to kill flying, and none better to cook mu eat than the common wild duck. Tbe Exact Ti.

He was probably not fax wrojg. Women have an inborn love o f influ encinK others, as they have aa inborn love often of pretty children, of ret dogs, and of good-natured hnabands. Ihly delight in reclaiming the sup posed irreclaimable, m pa.nUng the nck sheen white, m transformtng .the doubtful sinner into the undoubted saint Men, as a race, have by no means tbe same nor-hip for influence, They are much more content to leave tbings as they find them thar, are wo oenf The average woman's intense love of influence shows itself in a thou sand ways. She delixhta in indnencing even a thing without life snch, for in Stance, " Bho cos- to .t-y in a hotel, occupies an apartment that is lost to all the proprieties, that W hard as to chimney piece, cold as to walls, offensive in carpets, immodest ia oleographs, aa utter rascal of a room. WT-at does she do? "Why, she milu ences that room with photographs, leads it to better things with rugs and ctairbacks, breaks down its harshness of aspect with 1 owers, makes it posi tively attractive with books and nick nacks. A man oould Lave furnished it wuh his favorite pipe and beoa amply satisfied. Nearly all good women pos sess this passion for influence, and so do many bad ones, but men as a gen eral rule are inclined to be unconscious of. or to ignore, the faot. They feel it, but they do not know it. A bad man who marries a good woncan is very much more likely to bi come good than to make his wife bad, for the influence exercised by women is far more subtle thau the intlnence exercised by men, in aiihtiotv lias its etrenata. for even the weakest people are apt to ob ieot to beini influenced. It strikes . -- ----- li.irv.iliutinir. as sliahtly lowering, and v.nen they know what is happening 'hey struggle they kift fblv .caintt the pricks. Women f 1 1 L Til IT. I 1 U U1U.. ..'M...- 1-,, e.n inatinntivelv to be aware of this. and hence their subtlety. What like best, ther are. of course, always striving after, and certainly if we" look around we cannot remain unaware of the passion for influence possessed by nearly all wo men. Sometimes this passion bnnss its enrte and punishment with it. Nothiog can be more pa nful than to see an exhibition of det-ire without any power to back it np. Tbe weak v. o man who strives weakly to impress her Lerponality upon one stronger thai erself provides unconsciously the material of a tragedy at which it is dreary to assist as a spectator. Buch a tragedy is as common in life as the clonds are common in the sky, or the tearfnl dewdrop on the morning flowers. And the weik woman will never be convinced of her weakness. She gets perhaps to like a personality that, btrauge to Bay objects strongly or thinks she objects strongly to most of the character d?tnils which make np that personality, and, de Jibtrately nDaware of her weakness she begins to tinker. She falls in love with the paper on the walls, and forth with tries to cover it with little pictures poorly painted by ber own fair hands. She strnesles to impress herself upon that which has impressed her, and, not contented wi h lieing influenced, in 8its npon trying to influence. She will not noderstand that the person who inflnonees yon is by no means the most likely person for yon to ia lluence. This sort of woman is greatly to be pitied. fShe is the turning fiquirrel in the Page of life, and hopes all the time that she is recovering the F rnnDd instead of (ntdely gyrating in a ilxed circle. Then there ia the wo man who is influential because she is so nnstlfconscions. She does not know whit bIio is doing and for that reason, perhaps, she does it the more effectively. Icfluerce emsnntes imperceptibly irom her. The irritable hnsband s-iccnmbs to ber ca'm- good nature. The paieionute lover bows the neck beneath the shining yoke of ber parity. She is influential when she only ponrs out tea charmingly, and her very mode of dress shows visible signs of tt-mreraoiect which unlike the serpent tree seizes to save and not to slay. No wonder women love to in lin en oe more than tbey love to do any thing else. The little girl is trying to influence ber hard feature J.impUo.ible bodied wooden coll when she clothes its thin and many cornered wooden limbs ia radiant garments of new Parisian out, touches np its cheeks with the pigments that find a home in the shilling paint box, and twists its socketed arms into strange beckoning, defiant, or pleading attitudes. The schoolrom miss tries her 'prentice hand upon the rough schoolboy brother, or, more often still, npon the rough echoolboy brother's beloved chum, who ss likely as not meets her for the first time, a wooden doll all corners, parts from her a rat her wax persocage who has been subjected to not a little melt ing before certain maidenly Area. The girl emancipated from the schoolroom soon finds a lover to influence, and later the wile is nnwearied in her ef forts to leave some impress npon the character of her husband. Yes, prob ably the conversationalist who prided himself upon his knowledge of women was not far WTong. They read, or do not read, are hardy or gentle, kind or cruel, sentimental or practical as the case may be. Unt, depend npon it,tht average woman loves better than any thing else to influence that complex creature, that solid en-gma, that being whom women can so frequently make or mar, "man, foolish'' forgive the adjective, male readers, we only insert it for the rake of the quotation "fool ish man."
