“THE GOLD MINER.
Gold has been set in earfli‘s bottomless found-
ings
Bid in the walls of impassable streams;
Cast ’neath the depths of our uttermost sound-
ings. .
High in the snowy Sierras it gleams. .
Panther and bear haunt that savage seclusoon,
Hard are the ways where the gold seeker fares;
Mountain chains hurl‘d in the wildest confusmn,
Fearful the odds that the gold seeker dares.
“Hope on" and “Dare" are the watchwords to
nerve us, .
Shrinking not, fearing not, seeking not praise;
Iron hearts, nerves as of steel shall preserve us,
Harvests of gold shall the wild mountains raise.
True to the death shall we be in our dealing;
Share what we have with another man‘s need;
Speak face to face without fear or concealing,
Men in our word, mates, and men in our deed.
Men in our earning and men in our spending,
Others shall worship the dust in their greed;
We give the gold, let others do the lending,
Ours is the strength, mates, let theirs be the
need.
Canyons and glaciers, torrents and gorges,
High soaring crests and still lakes down below;
These know the gold that the solitude forges,
True gold of manhood and pure as the snow.

It'll-at Is a Precious Stone—Vfliat a Gem?
Vhat is a precious stone? Mr. George
F. Kunz in his valuable book on Gems and
Precious Stones of North America says in
reply to this query: “Beauty of color, hard-
ness and rarity are the essential qualities
which entitle a mineral to be called pre-
cious.” Strictly speaking the only precious
stones are the diamond, ruby, sapphire and
cmeral, though the term is often extended
to the opal, notwithstanding its lack of
hardness, and to the pearl, which is,
strictly speaking, not a mineral, but an
animal product.
A gem, he continues, is popularly . a
precious or semi-precious stone, especially
when out or polished for ornamental pur-
poses. Originally the term designates a
class of minerals hard enough to scratch
quartz without metallic luster, but gener-
ally brilliant and beautiful, and includes
the semi precious or fancy stones, such as
the ehryso beryls, alexandrites, tourma-
lines, spinels and topaz. Arthaeologically,
the term is restricted to engraved stones,
such as intaglios and cameos. The term
jewel is applied to a gem only after it has
been mounted.
Kissed.
A boy 15 years of age was tried in' Eng-
land for the crime of insulting by a kiss a
servant girl, aged 23, whom he met on the
highway. Being convicted, he was sen-
tenced to six weeks’ imprisonment at hard
labor. The severity of the sent nee excited
so much comment in the newspapers that
the government interfered and ordered the
release of the boy aft-er he had served but
ten days of his term.
The sentence undoubtedly was severe,
but the principle upon which the magis-
trates acted was sound, and we could wish
that all soft and alluring cheeks through-
out the world could be guarded by it from
the intrusion of unwelcome and insulting
lips. If these severe Devonshire magis-
trates had placed the offending boy on a
platform and had him soundly kissed be-
fore jeering spectators by a fat and frowzy
woman of 55 his mortification and disgust
might have enabled him in some degree to
realize the odious character of the offense
he had committed—Youth’s Companion.
Inspiration of Imagination.
“’hat is the main reason in life why the
majority of people find one another so
mortally tiresome? Is it not because so
few of them suggest to the imagination
anything more inspiring than their own
isolated and meager selves? The minute
one falls in with men or women who in-
evitably call up some peak in the White
mountains or picturesque clilf on the sea-
coast they dearly love, or come breathing
hints of a favorite author, 3. Charles Lamb,
or Goethe or Victor Hugo, to whom they
have for years given the smiles or admira-
tions of their souls, forthwith the world of
tediousness or commonplace vanishes, and
human intercourse becomes rich and stimu<
lating. In point of fact, the highest capaci-
ty most people can manifest is the capacity
of appreciation of some rare shape of
beauty or nobleness. As soon as they have
this they become themselves transfigured
in the bright reflection shining from that
to which they point.—Boston Herald.
Pure Home Blade llIolasses.
The people dwelling on the line east
and west of the states of Missouri and Ar-
kansas for twenty years or more have
made the manufacture of sorghum molas-
ses one of their most important home in-
dustries.
It is the custom in many localities for
the farmers to grow their cane and carry
it to a convenient mill, where the juice is
evaporated, a “toll” being paid, as was the
old fashioned practice when farmers took
their corn to the country mill. The price
of the improved cane mill has become such
a small matter that it is a common thing
for farmers to own a private mill, which
they run simply to supply their families
with molasses for their own use, making
sometimes a few extra barrels to send to .
market, and it is said that nothing in the
way of home production on the farm pays
a better profit.——St. Louis Republic.
Longevity Among'Literary People.
The average longevity of literary ladies
would indicate that Mr. Charles A. Dana.
is right in asserting that activity of the
p brain has the effect of ' lengthening life.
Mrs. Somerville and Caroline Herschel
reached the ages of , 91 and 98 respectively.
Mrs. Barbauld and Miss Edgworth died at
82. Miss Harriet Lee attained 95 and Mrs.
Marcet 89. Jane Porter died at 74, Hannah
More at 88, Miss Mitford at 69 and Mrs.
Radcliffe at 59. The average longevity of
the ten ladies named was nearly 83 years.—

The Novel of the Future.
It is‘ my conviction that the limits of

~ ’ IEUTENAN T S.
B. DAVIS, of°the
Confederate serv-
ice, probably came
the nearest of any
0 ffi ce r on eithei
side to playing the
.role of the Andre
' of the rebellion.
He did not, it is
true, lose his life
, ,g in an attempt tc
; negotiate for the
- surrender of an
enemy’s fOrtress,‘as did the noted British
spy, but he was Sentenced to be hanged for
complicity, under disguise, in negotiations
between citizens of the United States and
Confederate officials in Richmond and in
Canada for the delivery of the states 01
Ohio, Illinois and Indiana and certain mil-
itary positions on the lakes into the power
of organized and armed emissaries of the
south, led by Confederate oflicers.
Lieut. Davis was but 24, a native of Del-
aware, a state that did not secede, and en-
tered into the part he played on his own
motion.
The full details of the Northwestern con-
spiracy, as the scheme of tL‘?plotters in
the south . nd in Canada is called, ha we
never been collected, but, in the outline
given two years ago in a southern military
magazine by Capt. Thomas H. Hines,
enough is disclosed to show the purposes
of the movement, the methods used and
the identity of its chief abettors. Capt.
Hines was one of Gen. John H. Morgan’s
band, and with that noted leader had
raided Indiana and Ohio, and after defeat
and capture had escaped from the peniten-
tiary at Columbus, 0. He was the mili-
tary leader assigned by the Confederate
, government to command the forces en-
: gaged in developing the conspiracy.
Capt. Hines’ instructions were written at
Richmond, March 16, 1864, and by their
terms he was‘lto be liberally supplied with
money, pass through the United States to
Canada, conferring in the states “with the
leading persons friendly or- attached to the
cause of the Confederacy,” collect all of
Morgan’s followers who had escaped to
Canada and any other Confederates there
desirous of re-entering the service, and, by
such means as he could command, effect
“any fair and appropriate. enterprises of
war” against the enemies of the Confeder-
acy. About the same time a commission.
headed by Jacob Thompson,was dispatched
from. Richmond to Canada to act under
secret instructions from the Confederate
authorities. This commission reached Can-
ada in May, 1864, and Capt. Hines was or-
dered to report to and be governed by it in
all of his operations. It was soon decided.
says Capt. Hines, “to utilize the feeling
existing in the western and border states
inimical to the administration (Lincoln’s)
and to organize it for active and practical
opposition.”
The political disaffection in the tcr ritory
named had given rise to a semi-military
circle called the “Sons of Liberty,” which
the grand commander, Clement L. Val-
landigham, of Ohio, represented as num-
bering 300,000 men. Of these 85,000 were in
Illinois, 50,000 in Indiana and 40,000 in
Ohio. Capt. Hines met Mr. Vallandigham
at W'indsor, Canada, where the latter was
living in exile under a commutation by
President Lincoln of his sentence to close
confinement in a military prison for acts of
treason, and secureddnformation as to the
forces under his control. This was early
in June, and a few days later‘Vallandig—
ham returned home to Ohio.
The Confederate party in Canada wished
the whole tendency of the Vallandigham
movement to be directed to the establish-
~ment of a separate confederacy of north-
western states, to keep up a fire on the
Union rear as an ally of the Southern Con-
federacy, but they did not disclose such a
purpose openly. They hoped to see the
“Sons of Liberty” break out in open revolt
in the states. Then, it was believed. an al-
liance with the Confederates for open war
would be welcomed by them. In July
Thompson wrote from Canada to the Rich—
mond government that while the western
confederacy he was fostering was to first
demand of the Union party peace, with in—
dependence for the southern Confederate
states, yet 'if such peace was not granted
then war at home would be the remedy.
All summer plotting went on, and dates
were fixed at various times in July, Au-
gust and September for the uprising in the
states. The Confederates in Canada were
armed and divided. into two commands,
one to raid Cafnp Douglas, near Chicago,
and release the‘ Confederate prisoners there,
' and the other to do similar duty at the
Rock Island prison. -
The 29th of August was selected for a
Chicagoemeute. It was the opening of the
national Democratic convention, and Val-
landigham was to be on hand with subor-
\
“Anna’r YOU LIEUT. DAVIS?”
dinate military leaders of the “Sons of
Liberty.” The Canadian party, fully
armed, reached the city, and were joined
by bands of Confederate partisans from
Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee, all in
disguise, but fully equipped and ofiicered.
An unlocked for increase of the Union
garrisons at the prisons just at this time,
the detection and arrest of several promi-
nent Confederate officers and the luke
warmness of the “Sons of Liberty” for
overt acts caused a postponement.
From that time on until the presidential
election Thompson’s emissaries were busy
and there was more or less war along the
border under his direction. The entire re-
gion of- the Canada line was placed under
strict Union surveillance and hundreds of
persons were arrested. It was in this ex-
citing period that Davis, a commissioned
officer of the Confederate army, appeared
on the scene in disguise, the bearer over
Union territory, as he confessed on his
' trial, of important dispatches between the
Confederate government at Richmond and
the northwestern plotters.
It appears from the evidencegduced on
his trial and the admissions made by his
friends in order to secure executive clem-
ency that some time after the failure of
Capt. Hines’ expedition at Chicago Lieut.
Davis volunteered to act as a messenger
between Richmond and Canada. He was
provided with a British passport under an
assumed name, had his hair dyed, and put
on citizen’s dress. The regular route of
communication between Richmond and
Canada was by steamer via Bermuda, but
for some reason never yet explained Davis
went from Richmond to Baltimore, and
from there to Columbus, 0., where he cer-
tainly communicated with people of sus
picious character at the time.
From Columbus he went to Detroit, and
from there to W'indsor, Canada, where he
met Thompson and other Confederate em.
issaries. How long he remained in Canada
is uncertain. Evidence at the trial showed
that it was some weeks, although Mr.
Thompson, in a statement intended tc
shield the young man from the death pen-
alty, declared it to have been three days.
But Thompson’s statement contradicts it
self in important particulars and leaves
the impression that Davis passed between
Canada and Richmond on at least two sep-
arate missions, and the data at the trial
may have related to his first trip from
tichmond to Canada and his last trip from
Canada homeward. However, both the
trial evidence and Thompson’s statement
show that he made a return trip from the
Confederate rendezvous in Canada to Co-
lumbus, and set out from there in the di-
rection of Baltimore. .
There were many points about the young
man to give him peculiar fitness for his
work; there was also a fatally weak spot
in his harness. He was well bred and of
prepossessing appearance. A native of
Delaware, he could mingle with northern
people without arousing suspicion. He
was a distant relative of J eiferson Davis,
and had the respect and confidence of the
Confederate chicftains. Too young to have
attained prominence before the war, and
never having served in the regular army,
his personality was not likely to be known
on the Union side of the lines. But he had
served a long time on the staff of Gen.
Winder, commander at Andersonville pris-
on, wherc many Union soldiers had seen
him often.
Fortune favored him in his daring enter-
prise until his arrival, on what proved to
be his final trip southward from Canada, at
Newark, 0. He was traveling in the pas-
senger cars of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road; had passed safely through Colum-
bus and other public centers most danger-
ous to him.
At Newark two Union soldiers entered
the car where the disguised Confederate
sat. They had been in Andersonville pris-
on, and after eying their fellow passenger
for a time one cx-prisoner whispered in his
comrade’s car, “There is Lieut. Davis. of
Andersonvillc!”
Both arose and, approaching Davis, one
called out bluntly to the stranger, “Aren’t
you Lieut. Davis?”
“No, sir; my name is Stewart!” was the
prompt reply.
“Yes, you are Lieut. Davis, and you had
charge of the prison when I was in Ander-
sonville,” persisted the soldier. A crowd
of passengers quickly surrounded the par-
ties and seeing that his stubborn cross-
questioners would not be convinced, the
Confederate yielded and said:
“Well, boys, you’ve. got me.
Davis.”
I am Lieut.
“I DO NOT FEAR To DIE.”
The provost marshal of Newark was
summoned, and the prisoner was speedily
hurried to the common jail. A search of
his person failed to disclose any secret
papers, and he was left in the main room
with a number of ordinary county crim-
inals. Soon after “the military had left the
place the stranger was seen to remove from
inside his coat lining a number of dis-
patches and drawings upon white silk, and
, to burn them in the fire which was blazing
in an open stove. The link that would
have removed all doubt as to his purposes
and condemned him to instantaneous death
was thus hopelessly destroyed.
Ohio was in the military department of
Gen. Hooker, and Lieut. Davis was put
under guard and held for court martial as
a spy. His defense was that he was a.
bearer of dispatches. The court martial
held that his presence in the Union lines in
disguise constituted the offense for which
the penalty is death. W'hen the evidence
was all in and the case clear against
him, the prisoner rose, facing the officers
and witnesses, every one wearing the colors
of ‘his mortal enemies and some of them
scarred with the conflicts in which he and
his own had been pitted against them.
There was no reason to expect mercy and
he did not ask it.
After stating his case briefly, he looked
. over his accusers and judges, and said: “I
do not fear to die. I am young and would
like to live, but I deem him unworthy who
should ask pity of his foemen. Some of
you have wounds and scars. I can show
them, too. You are serving your country
as best you may, I have done the same; I
can look to God with a clear conscience;
and whenever the chief magistrate of this
nation shall say ‘Go ’ whether upon the
scaffold or by the bul ets of your soldiery,
I will show you how to die.”
The sentence was that he be confined in
the military prison at Johnson Island, in
Lake Erie, until the 17th of February, 1865,
then “to be hunrr by the neck until he is
dead.” Just be ore the day arrived the
condemned wrote to the judge advocate of
'the court martial asking that one or more
members of the court Witness the execu—
tion. “Come and see it done,” said he
“and you shall have the satisfaction of
knowing that you hunc‘ a brave man.”
Durinnr the night of the 16th of February
when alf’ reparations had been made and
Davis ha , as he believed, beheld the last
sunset on earth a reprieve came from
President Linco n. Influential citizens
of Ohio, Delaware and the south now
set to work to have him pardoned and
treated as a prisoner of war. Jacob Thomp-
son avowcd that he knew all of the con-
tents of the dispatches carried by the con-
demned and that they were not of hostile
im ort. ‘
owerful friends leaded that the youth,
bravery and noble caring of the unfortu-
nate victim of war, and-the fact that he ac-
complished no fell purpose, should be held
as sufiicient grounds for remitting the
death penalty. But the dispatches which
alone could reveal the nature of his mis-
sion had been burned by his own hand.
He was placed in a dun eonat Fort War-
ren Boston' harbor, and efore the reprieve
en ed the war closed. Then Mr. Stanton,
secretary of war, “very reluctantl ”'per-
mitted him to go free. To the and e kept
the secret of his mission to Ohio.
