at San iianctsco. Ihe play is

the season by all the 'Frisco pap jrs.
It embraces all the leqti'iemenl '
for refined melo-drama, its toDe is
pure, its sentiment refill" d, while
there is a most liberal admixture
of se isation and comedy there is
within it every element that goes
to make up the nu' as well as the
mimic world, and in its general
gn' ping of all those chords which
liaul taut on the best as well as
the worst in human nature, "His
Natural Li "e" is simply a master
piece oi ingenuity. The press en
dorse it most highly as the repre

predict for it a universal succ s.
To give this great play effect,the
managers have surrounded it with
an elaborate amount of scenery, in

traveling company in America,

A ItfcTOKI.
It was a neat somewhat caustic
reply that young Heviis gave to
the cad who attempted to take a
lordly tone with him at the club
the other day. Since Nevins was
employed to paint the portrait of
the beautiful Countess of Dash
last Summer, he has been some
what the fashion; but he is far too
clever and well-balancec? to lose
his head on that account. The
man who questioned him was
Grayman, whose escapades have
been the scandal of his enemies
and perplexity of his family for
this live years. Grayman was
angry bacause at a ball last week
Kevins received in the german
favors which lie would have had
fair hands bestow upon hiniseP'.
He took revenge by insolently asl.
ing the artist at the club,in pres
ence of half a dozen nv .. :
''I say, Nevins, what will you do
when society puts you down as
qaickly as it took you up?''
Nevins looked at the speaker in
perfect coldness.
"If I for an iristaDt acknow
ledged," he said, "that I was the
sort of a man who can be 'taken
up,' as you put it I should be
put down so low ia my own esti
mation as almost to feel myself at
your level."'
There was an instant of utter
stillness, while Grayman recovered
bis breath, and then before he
could spetik one of the men jump
ed up and shook the anist by the
hand.
" What -ill you have to drink?"
he said.
Whereat it became evident to
Grayman tr.it further rejoinder
was useless. Boston Courier.

tak altogether the average price 'or
the heavy i rait Loree is above that of
e t. otter. There is a constant de
mpud for such animals, a demand
that is ine -sifg faster than the sup-,
ply. 'i .e demand is not only from
th's couutiy but from Europe, f::
ce ng only Russia. There is iiu
lunger a ready sale for the litrhi;
iinrses that were used not man' years
ago. Tfccy rind buyers, it is true,
;ut at prices that hardly pay for

horses at all know this to be true, as
the' are often iirought to a realizing
seme of the fact when on taking
horses to the buyers they are met
with the statement that they are too
small. Large hoi ses are wanted.
In tiie great cities, railroad centres,
?actoris, found: ies, mills, machine
shops, quarries, and in the lumber
woods, thousands) n ore are now an
nrally purchased than were needed
vears aco. The American farmers
are also oeginnmg to find deep tillage
ami a more systematic and econom
ical method of cultivation necessary,
in which a large class of horses is in
dispensable. Thus, on every hand
we see the plane of usefulness of the
large, strong work-horse extending -while
that of the small family horse
is becoming narrower. The demand
tht is thus opeued will never be sup
plied. The price of such horse is in

Mining Is Carried
the Vukon-
h Along
The Alaska Times says: A part of
an interview with D. H McNeill,
one of the party who left with Wil
liam Ogilvie to survey the northern
country on behalf of the Dominion
Govei ment, says that mining car
ried on along the YTukon is done in
thiswise: The river freezes to a
ereat depth, and on the banks and
oars the ice is generally solid to the
bottom. The miners cut away the
ice aud then dig up the gravel; which
is also frozen, and carry it to th
banks. This processis continued tl'1.
the river breaks up, for a couple 01
months, wrhen the dirt is carried back,
again and washed for gold. In this
way, says the informant, one man
took out $1000, but it is hard work.
The gold is principally coarse, the
largest nugget being valued at $40.
This nugget, it may be stated, was
lost, the owner being drowned a short
time after he found it. His name
was Michael Sufferin, a native of
New Brunswick or Ontario. Mr.
McNeil has samples of the Yukoa
gold with him. Provisions are pretty
dear. Flour is -517 50 per 100; ba
con is 40 cents per pound, beans 30
cents sugar 30 cents; dried apples
30 cents, of all of which there is a
fair supply. During the winter
there were thirty-six cases of scurvy
among the miners, aud three deaths
occured. The Indians on the Yukon
are peaceable and willing to work.
