' 'jThb Punctual Man. Mr. liig-f-gings
was a very punctual man in ail
his transactions through life., He a
massed a largo tortune by untiring
industry and punctuality; and at the
advanced age of ninety years mas
resting quiotly on his bed, and calm
Jy waiting to be called away. He had
.deliberately made almost every ar:
-rangemont for his decease and burial,
jlis pulse grew fainter, and the light
of life seemed just iSiokering in its
sockot when oue of his-sorvs observed:.:
" Father, you will jirobably live but a
day or two; is it .not well to namo
your bearers?" "to bo sure, my son,"
said the dying man. " It ia well
thought of, and 1 will do it now!" He
gave the names of six, the usual num.
ber, and sank back exhausted upon
his willow. . A ftleam of thought pass-
i over bis withered features like a
tay of light, and he rallied once more.
" Mv son. road me the list. Is the
name of Wiggins there f" " It is Fath
er." " Then, strike it off 1" said he
emphatically," for ho was never punct
ual was never anywhere in season,
and he might binder the procession a
whole hour."
Ekturn to Spkcib Payments The
New .York correspondent -oi lbo Mta
writes :
A return to specie,payment is a sub
ject of general public iutereet ; in fact
it is felt to be a necessity. The peo.
pie here envy the citizens of the Gold

pelled by tho pressure of circumstances
to depart from a hard-currency. How

when silver wasnlentifull and fraction.

Oil Smellers. A correspondent
visiting the oil regions has came
across this class of. 'indescribable.'
He try s to picture them and does it
in this strain. " Vx you ever see an
oil smeller,' and can you tell to which
of the three kindoms it belongs? And
would you think, from .its name that

Important to Miners. Mr. Hodge
the gentleman who some time since
discovered that the drift sand on the
Amerioan river and the red dirt of
of this vicinity would pay well for
working, bas arrived here with his

placed 1n position at Quigley't steam
works, for the purpose of testing its
adaptibHity to work the gold bearing
