They are to-day unknown; to-morrow, worth thousands, Their fortunate owners to- day ure in rags, and poverty, and disvouruto- ment; to-morrow, the step {s clastic, hope high, and an entire change has taken place in their circumstances. This belug true, miners are, more than any other class, Hable to become cx- cited over reports of discoverica,—liable to . “ sTAMPEDES," so-called in mining districts. Theso suddenly and often blindly farmed expoditions are eatted atampedes from their @lmilarity to geuulne atampedes of stock. They have many features {n common.

They gain with each repetition, ‘and It seems that cach, as be repeats the wild tale, feels himself bound to work ott some plausible theory in support of the tale,—such, for example, ns the eimilar geologic formation of the region in question to some other known mineral district; and, Jf the country .bo an un- explored one, none van.say the reports are nob true; and then, too, there is at once enlisted the overmastering desiro of plainsmen to expose her secreta,—to conquer her wilds.

The iron horse, as the Berlin papers call him, showed off his paccs tho other day in the garden of Hagen’s Summer ' Theatre, in the presence of the leading mechan fcinos and journalists of tha Herman Capital. The concern is described arn consisting of a couple of wheels, tivo metres high; between these ‘finds {tself’? tha horse, upon which monnts the rider, The latter moves his legs “after the Enelleh fashion of riding’?

He entercd Into’ the joke and enjoyed the pastime. A journal was kept called the Dalkey Gazete, In which all public procecdipgs were re- corded, and which was a source of constant amusement to its supporters. Hint at length the mock pageantry, the affected loyalty, und gasumed homage bezan to tell upon aud excite the imagination of “King Jobu,” os he was atyled.
