From the Snn Francisco Post: "It Io the easiest thing In the world to sell a nilno in London for almost any price. provided you have nnythlng to shot.' an export," said Major Frank McLaugh lin. H "There Is also a right way nn,d wrong; way to go about it. Some timo ago I went to Loudon to negotiate the sale of 6omo mlnli g property. Of course tho first thing I had to do was to let capital know what I was there for. Then, When Inquiries cpmmenced, I simply teald: 'Gentlemen, I have mining prop erty to sell. If you mean business and want to buy Bend your export nit to ex amine tho property and make a ropoit on It. You know then what you aro -buying.' "A company was organlzod. An ex pert examined the property and report ed favorably and u mooting was held to discuss the terms. "'Now, major,' snld the spokesman, 'we have found that tho property may be worth something. Whnt is your Jrke?' , " 'Two hundred and fifty thousand,' said I. " 'That l5 moro thnn we expected to pay "We expected to pay about two hundred. Thcro is not much difference letween two hundred and two nnd fifty. Jf you drop the tlfty wo will tuko it.' "I had expected lo get about $100,000 for tho properly, eo with a show of re luctance I agreed to nccept their offer. When the papers wero made out I waa Btirprlsod to loam that they had been tnlking about pounds nnd 1 about dol lars, bpt 1 was very careful not to let my surprise leak out, and that is the Way I got $1,000,000 for the mlno." l.lclitnlns Stroke Huctn.

Lott for Many Yonra nuil Kmtureit on tlm (lultlon WciMlrnf. The fourth year of ray residence nt the palace was marked by u family event tho "golden wedding," or fif tieth anniversary of the marriage of the Cointo and Comteooe do Tascher dt la I'agerlc, which way celebrated at Baden-Uadcn in tho presence of all their children nnd grandchildren. A curious circumstance occurrod on this occasion which Is worthy of men tion. Tho (Prlnccsac) Comtcsse dc Tascher had lost, many years before, her wedding ring, to her great distress, and It had never bean found. Shortly before the festivities of the golden wed ding, tho Duchess uf Hamilton, on looking over tho Jewels left by her mother, the Grand Duchess of Dnden, whoso death had occurred during the preceding winter, found a small packet labeled, "The wedding ring of Amelia von dor Leyen, Bold by a Jew peddler as having belonged to the Empress Josephine. To bo returned." It wns evident that the grand duchess, who was the moat forgetful of women, had put this away carofully and entirely forgotten IL The Duchess of Hamilton, seeing the Inscription engraved tns'.dA. "Loulu do Tascher de la Pagerlo Amelia von der Lflyen," with the date ot their marriage, sent it to tho count with tho abovo explanation. Ho kept tho matter secret till the "golden wed ding," when tho ring which had been lost for so long wns again placed on the finger ot the Princess Amelle von der Leyen on the fiftieth nnnlversary of tho marriage which had taken plae under the sad circumstances already re lated.

It would bo JUBt as reasonable to talk to the permanence of the intellect or tho conscience, the permnnenco of the im agination or any other constituent clc mont of human nature. The vocabu lary of religion, its forms and ceremo nies, Its symbols and organlzod Institu tions, have all their perishable ele ments; but the source of rollglon is In separable from tho nnturo of man. vo do not mean that religion is tho utter ance nlono ot a slnglo faculty. Intel lect, Imagination, conscience, emotion, tho lova of the beautiful nnd sublime, may all enter into it: but this only ; shows from what varied sources of our naturo it is derived ab ionB as more Is anything in tho unlverso to worship, man will be a worshiper. So long as God speaks, so long will man answer. It Is stronge.then, that ro'igious author ity should have been mado so often to depend upon somo perishable external incident of religion rather than upon the spiritual consciousness of mankind.
