Cadet Whittaker ia charged with mutilating his own ears and catting his own wool. He denies these charges lustily. The case Is the most remarkable on record. It Is generally believed la New York that when Mr. Vanderbilt obtains 4 per cent. bonds to the amount of $50,000,000. he will be ia a position to lead a "quiet life," which it is said he hankers after ara'zmgly. The Heilman boom doesn't seem to have got at large yet. rerhaps as Judge Martindale could not carry the State of Indiana around in his pocket, he has determined to have something that no one else will take: hence, the Heilman boom. Thx total exports of petroleum for the mon-h of February. 1830. amounted to 24 962,662 gallons, valued at $2 302,755. Booming an increase, as compared wiih February, 1875, of over 5,000,000 gallons. The total J exports for eight months, ending February 29 1830. amounted to 323,230,721 gallons, valued at $23 236 914. Thx New Albany Ledgei-Standard, our esteemed contemporary, shou'd once in awhle say something that a Republican sheet would be likely to condemn.

News from Ed gland shows tbat a complete revolution has taken place in Great Britain, the election having gone against the Gov ernment of BeaconBfield, who will at an early day resign the premiership. Beaconsfield, or Disraeli. Is in many regards one of w w the most illustrious of Eoglish statesmen. and his history is a blending of so much romance and reality, fiction and fact, pride and perversity, that whether In or out of office he will be a factor in English politics while be lives, and a conspicuous character in hhtory for all time. He was born in 1SC5, and is, therefore, now 75 years of age. In early life Disraeli studied law a profession which later he abandoned for literature, In which - he earned success and fame Subsequently he entered the arena of politic?, and at last succeeded in entering ParliameDt His first effort was a f lilure, and the Housa clamored him down. But he was neither discomfltted nor overthrown. He predicted that tbe time would come when the House would listen to him. And tbat time did come, and from that date to the present Disraeli has been a power in the Eoglieh Government. He has accepted the hlga oS:e of prime minister tvice first In 18C8, when he succeeded Etrl Derby, and again in 1874, when he succeeded Mr. G'adstone. He rt tires again after six years of official responsibilities, defeated by Mr. Gladstone, who, though he may not be prime minister, is entitled to tbe credit of the Liberal victory over tbe Tories. Tbe grat objection to BtacontfleM centers in hia foreign policy, which is pronounced vicious In all regards. : It Is very difficult for the average American to form anything like a correct idea ot British poli tics, partlculaaly in so far as England's f r eign policy is concerned. It was thought some years tloce tbat as a factor in European politics, Eog'and had lest catt that heropin ions and policy were of little consequence in shsp eg evt-nte, but, under Beaconna)d'a rule, it was ascertained that Ecgland'a ancient prestige was fully regained, and that Eoglish views must be considere I. This fact alone, without rgtrd to incidental mis takes, has aroused Eoglieh pride and given Beacon firld a hold upon the regards of the Eorlish people which it wilt be d fflcult to vanquish. Beacon Bald's policy has repre sen ted territorial conquest. His ambition has been to extend the area of the British empire. ' He saw that tbe northern frontier of British India must be protected and rendered secure as a consequence, tbe Afghan war and tbe triumph if tbe British arms.- Beacon. fitld wanted more of Africa, and hence the Zjiu war, in which greed triumphed over justice and everything else tbat should distinguish civilization from aavgery. , But England does not now, nor has tbe at any time, considered tbe rights cf others In her policy cf ootqnest, and any policy tbat surrenders any advanced position England has secured anywhere is not likely to meet with favor. Gladstone is confessedly a great man, and it is possible tbat .England needs his great powers to cheeky somewhat tbe ag-s-reseive spirit that has distinguished Bacocsfisld'e administration ; bat his party, whoever its prim minister may be

usamti control at a um when it ia

no easy matter ' to so 'steer the ship cf State as (o keep her 'clear of the breakers. It the triumph of the Liberal party means, as la said in some quuters, theantjg-1 onism of Beacor. sfield's foreign policy, we doubt it the victory la long maintained. Eogland'i policy is conquest. She must have colonies. Her commerce largely de pends upon such a policy. Eoglieh ideas of empire are grand. Beaconsfield'a intellecttnal make np made him a popular repre sentative of that policy. Imaginative, am bitious, and fnll of resources, he has eucceeded in impressing the British mind with his theories, and it will be difficult for Mr. Gladstone to call a halt. Still, England's domestic affairs require more attention, and f jr a while, at least, more fact and less fancy may be anticipated in the English Govern ment. BUTTER OINiMEHTS. There are vile compounds known as batterine and oleomargarine extensively manu factured and sold to ignorant and unsuspecting people as genuine butter. There should be some meaai devised to put a stop to the business. No one has a right to practice deceptions in the preparation of food. 8uch transactions assume many of the charac teristics of crime. All of the ingredients that enter into any article of food should be known. In no other way can tbe health and tbe lives of the people be protected ; and to p'ace in peril the health and lives of the peo pie is a crime. Butterine and oleomarga rine, which are sold for butter, are not butter. They are compounds of butte, grease, milk or buttermilk, salt and certain colorirg substances, which render them dangerous as fjod. Noce know, except the manufactcreri, what kind of grease is used. None but the manufacturers know what tbe colorirg material is that is used, or what chemical processes are resorted to to give them tbe appearance of butter, thereby deceiving the people. We are informed tbat the vile com pounds are manufactured in secret; no one is allowed totnvtstigite the process, to know what kind of grease is used, whether it ia soap grease, rancid lird, head and gut fat, or something else but we understand the pro cess is most fiickeoiog and repulsive, which probably accounts for the secrecy of the ope ration. Ve understand that 1,500 pounds of this batter ointment can be manufactured, having for a basis 500 pounds of butter. .Tabulated, the butter ointment transaction stand about as follows: Ratter, 500 pounds at 20 cents per pound.. 1100 00 eati, am pounas ai z oems per pouna. 4 uu Coloring matter, 2 pounds at 20 cents per DO ' 1 tttTTTtt T TTlll- 40 Iu.rd, 7&i poanda at 7 cents ...... ........ 55 K6 Uullerunls;. 2 uu Total cost H62 2S ljöui pouada batter ointment at 23 cents per pouua .I3I5 00 Plfltaaeaass)assasasaeasaeeee ..18 74 Hereisa clear profit of $182.74 on 1 500 pounds of this Tile compound this butter ointment, composed of ingredients that would give an ostrich the cramp colio grease, batter, salt, coloring motter, etc but whether the component parts were ever fit for food, the Lord only knows. This stuff Is sold for butter, and it is, therefore, not surprising that disease is on the increase. It ought to be posrible for tbe authorities to put a stop to the business. Butterine and oleomargarine, whenever offered for butter, ought to be confij cated, and the venders and manufacturers arrested We understand that the nasty stuff is manufactured an1 sold in large quantities in Indianapolis. If so, the police should bs dlreoted to ascertain the facta and have this business investi gated. Tbe health and the Uvea of the peo pie demand prompt action. Thomas A. Hendricks. Philadelphia Times Thomas A. Hendricks is one of the few great party leaders who has been the con trolling spirit of hia party in a great 8;ate tor & quarter of a century, with the cordial support of his organization, and that is one of : the rarest of individual achle7ements in modern politic. Even Blaine, tbe moet popular aod personally meguttic of Repnb iican leaders, has lost his State, with a Rs publican m j riiy that, in proportion to the vote polled, woald scare up 50 000 in the voe of Indiana. Tilden and Conkline have divided parties behind them which practi cally exclude them from a hopeful presi dential contest. Bherman and Tbarman bave little heart and Jess unity in their respective following! in Ohio, and Cameron must often evade tbe popular judgment of his party to maintain bis control in rennsylvania Of all the men who have reached tbe front rank or leadership daring tbe last two decades, Mr Hendricks is almost single and alone in crysta'lztng his party at home la ui nagging aevouon to mm. lie was a Democratic Senator in tbe mcst trying times of the war, when many less faithful or lees discreet men made bopelecs shipwreck of their political future, bat tbe record of Mr. Hendricks has stood the severest test, and Is conspicuous for its freedom from tbe parti san blonden which then and since have ranked as crimes The sweep cf Republicsnism over the North as a neotseiiy to sustain tbe Lincoln administration, carried Indiana with it and anchored it in the Republican column under O.iver f , Mcrtoo, tbe ablest politician and statesman of tbe opposition.

Miaa Louisa Alcott as a Voter. From Her Letter in the Woman's Journal.!' Our town meetings, I am told, are always orderly and decent; this one certainly was; and we found it very like a lyceum lecture. only rather more tedious than most, except hen gentlemen disagreed and enlivened tbe scene with occasional lapses into bad temper or manners, which amused but did not dismay the women-folk, while it initi ated them into tbe forma and courtesies of parliamentary debate. Mr. Alcott, with a fatherly desire to make the new step as eaty a possible for us, privately asked tbe moderator when the women were to vote, and on being told that they could take their chnce with the men. or come later, proposed tbat they should come hrst as a proper token of respect and for the credt of the town One of the selectmen said, "By all means;" aod proved himself a tower ot Btrength by seconding the philoso pher on this momentous occasion. I he moderator ( who is also tbe registrar. and has most kindly and faithfully done his duty to the women ia spite of his own dir IfTeuceor opinioi. ) then annouoced that the ladies would prepare their votes and depo -it them before tbe men did. bo one objected we wrre ready, and tiled out in good order. dropping our vo'.s ana pssurg Dick to our sea's as quickly and quietly as possible) while the ae moled gentlemen watched as in rol'Diu silence. ro njit itii on our audacious heads, no earthquake thook the town, but a pleasing surprise created a general outbreak of laughter and applause, for scarcely were we seated when Judge Hoar rose and proposed taat tbe polls be closed The motion was carried before the laugh subsided, and the polls were closed without a man s voting; a perfectly fair proceeding we thought, since we were allowed no voice on any other question. The superintendent of schoo's expressed a hope tbat tbe whole town would vote, but was gracefully iti formed tbat it made no dir ferei.ee, as the women had all voted as the men would. as many men wou'd prooabiy have voted f ir other candidates, as tickets were prepared. and some persona looked disturbed at being aepnvta ot their rights It was too late, how ever, for the joke became sober earnest, and the women elected la- school committee for the coming year, feeling satisfied, with one or two exceptions, tbat they had secured persons whose past services proved their fit ne9s for the office. At 5 the housewives retired to get tea for tbe exhausted gentlemen, some of whom certainly looked as if they would need re freebments of some sort after their labors. It was curious to observe as the women went out how the faces wo Ich bad regarded them Ith disapproval, derision or doubt when tbey went io, no w smiled affibly. while sev eral men hoped the ladies would come again, and asked how they liked it, and assured them that there had not been eo orderly meeting for years. Uoe of the pierstnt sights to my eyes was a a yet ot schoolboys watching with great Interest their mothers, aunts and aistera,wbo were showing them how to vote when their own emancipation day came. Another was the spectacle of women Bitting beside their husbands, who greatly enjoyed the affair. though many of them differed in opinion, and had their doubts about the suffrage question. Among tne new voters were descendants of Major Buttrick, of Concord fight renown. two of Hancock and uulncy, and others wbose grandfathers or great grandfathers had been among tbe first settlers of the town. Dirt and Bodily Heat. The part which the skin plavs in the regu lation of bodily ht at, says the Lancet, is not ale qutely estimated The envelope of com plicated structure and vital function which ooyers tbe body, and which nature has des tined to perform a large share of tbe labor of health pre-erving, is practically thrown out of ue by our bablt of loading it with clothes. It I is needless to complicate matters by al lowing it to be choked and Incumbered with dirt It tbe skin of an animal be coated with an impervious varnish, death must ensue. A covering of dirt is only leas inim ical toll'". We are not now speaking of dirt such ss offend the ssnss of decency.' but of those accumulations of exuded matter 1th which tbe skin must become loaded If; it is habitually covered , and not thoroughly cleansed. Tbe cold bath is Dot a cleansing sg-nt. A man may bathe dally aLd use bis bam towel even roughly, but remain as dirty to all practical intents though he t sc tie wed cleanliness: indeed, the phikical evil of oirt is more likely to ensue,' because it wnoiiy neglected, the ekln would cast elf its excreuientitious matter by periodic perspirations with derquamation of the cuticle. Nothing bat a frequent washing In water, of at leait equal temperature with tbe skin, and soap cn Insure a tree and neattny surface. Tne feet require especial Care, and It is too muci the pracice to neg lect them, ine ooitsuion ot dally washings with soap and the wearing of foot coverings so tight as to compress the blood vessels and retard the circulation of tbe blood through the extremities, are the most common auses cf cold feet. Tne remedy is obvious: dress loosely and wash frequently. Tilden and aeymour. A Ut'ca special says: '"The Dsmocratlo caucuses held here in ravor ot Tilden met with dis:ouraging oppoeltion. In but one ioatanc was his name mentioned. - The 8n'h Ward instructed its delegation to vote against all measures looking to his nomina tion. In tbe Tenth Ward resolutions were adopted instructing delgites to use all honorable means to bring about tbe nom ination ot Horatio Seymour. In the Twelfth Ward, also, tbe ticket was headed by the inscription: 'For President, Horatio Sey mour.' Tbe Oneida delegation, without doubt, will go to Syracuse determined to optoM Tilden. Heretofore, notably last year, tbe factions were termed Ttlden aod anti-Tilden This year it appears to be Til den against Seymour. In other parts of the 8 ate, tbe ract of Seymour being pot forward by his party in hia home as a candidate for tbe Presidency may be regarded peculiarly significant. Io consequence or Ilideo s aotloo, and tbe surmised reasons for It, in lo cating the State Convention at Syracuse, there is much disgust here, hven hla fol

are sullen and discontented. In spite of repeated "expressions of dissent from us op: loni oi his tnends that ne mtgnt yet be Induced - to become the candidate, the masses bere believe Seymour will yet be the candidate " A Uttle Tramp. ' ' (8W Loula Republican. , , Th other day a country ' boy made a pav..: l a t . ' i i tueuc sppuav w( u nion square par police man in the heart of slew Torfe. The boy bad been gazing at thepolfcemajiVsUr from afar, and at last came to the conclusion that he was a man of authority m the town. The policeman had kept an; eye on the boy, too, so there was a good deal of interest worked up between Ute man and boy before they had any communication. At last tbe boy timidly approached the. policeman and asked him where he oouldj get something to eat and a place to sleep, for he was hungry" and tired. He was a bright looking little fellow, but he waa evidently weary and worn, and travelsoiled, and from the country. He was lost in town, and lingered round the Union Square as a country spot an oasis in tbe desert of pavement and walls, and a familiar friend in a solitude of thronging strangers. The policeman did not beat the boy with his club and tell him to move on, as we sometimes read of policemen dome to little tramps. On the contrary, be kindly placed the urchin in the hands of an officer of tbe SociHy for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. In an swer to inquiries, the little fellow cave all ot his history that he knew, and explained his presence iu .xew iors in a very interesting manner. His story was this: f My name is Joseph Blowerä. and I am 13 years of age ' I can't read or write, but I knbw how to spell my name and a few little words. 1 mras born somewhere up bv the White mountains. My mother died eight years ago and my father died two years ago. liefore he died he gave me away to a farmer named Jacob V oorhi, who lives at Galena, at the foot of the White mountains. I had to work about the farm, and had to take care of seven cows and milk thorn morning and evening. Mr. Voorhia never sent me to school, and as I wanted to learn something I mad-e up my mind to go away and see if 1 could not do something else, eo that I could go to school. So I left Mr. Voorhis, and I've walked nearly all the way from the White mountains to Now York, which I've heard was a big city. Sometimes I've managed to get a ride on the way. It was a long tramp hero, but I wanted to go to school, and I beard that they bad lig schools here. I want to get something to do to pay . a . a if my way, so that I can learn something.' There are bad bovs in New York who sometimes "play it" upon good people, and prove tobe among the things that "are rot always what tbey seem. Joe did not look like one of them, and his air and appearance proved bis whole story.but the omcer wished to make "assurance doubly sure .'' so he took the boy out for a walk and managed to lewe him in a crowd.' while he observed Joe's movements from a convenient hiding place. The poor boy ran up and down in terror at having lost his guide, like a littl tray dog hunting his master, ue was again groping helplessly and hopelessly m the solitudes ot tbe multitudes, and evidently knew nothing of the streets of ew l ork. - This- knowledge at ienorance was what the officer wiahed to test, and beinz satisfied he again appeared before the lost boy like a messenger dropped from the clouds Joe was overjoyed, and the friend of the child ren was satisfied that Joseph is lowers, the While mountain boy, was not a little fraud. A bov who at the age of 13, orphaned and ignorant, finding the- time of education slipping by, walks from the White mountains to Ne York to hunt the better life. has in him the kind . of stuff of which great men are made.: Ben. Franklin 6trolled into Philadelphia. . then the metropolis of the country, munching his penny loaf; Hor ace Greely lumbered into New York a green country gawk, and Joe Blowers, a little tramp, may make a big history for all any body knows. ! , Jesuit Instruction. A Fans paper says: : "One of the worst features of the Jesuit system of education about which we hear so much of late, is that it brings up boys, to be . nice-mannered little rormaliata or fine scholars, but it fails to make manly: fellows of them. The boy who is taught that it is his duty to denounce privately a comrade whom he sees doing wrong, may grow, up to have a much keener eye for tbe short-comings of others than for his own and may at all events become an arrant mis chief-maker.-: One of the. rules of Jesuits schools is that in the play-ground three boys may walk together, but not two. Two might wax confidential and become confederates in mischief, but there is less danger of this if a third be present. Three boys, however, who should constantly be aeen -together would o4n find a reverend father gliding alongside of them to join in .their conversation. The Jesuits apply all their engeries to obtain mastership over the minds of their pupils, and the worst fault in their eyes is to be un indiscipline that 'is, to have a mutinous spirit. If a boy confided to them be unclean, greedy, uncouth, mendacious, or dissipated. they try, hot unsuccessfully as a rule, to cure him or his bad habits; but if. they und he has an independent spirit which can not be curbed, they speedily get rid of him lest he should lead the others astray. It matters nothing to them tbat the rebellious boy may be frank, honorable, and fearless; the mo ment it is proved that he can not be rendered docile he is regarded as' dangerous. The result of this is that in the Jesuit colleges boys grow up to have, a uniform pattern; tbey may differ in their aptitudes, but their characters are slowly and surely shaped in the same mold.' If the Jesuits are abhorred in France, it is mainly because men brought up in other schools, find that they can never think oii'argue with their pupils. Jesuitry makes men whose opinions and prejudices are not of this age; and no wonder, since the chief lesson inculcated by it ia that we live in times that are evil, and amid institutions which ought to bs undermined, pending the moment when they can be boldly attacked and overthrown. I 1 Money and Knowledge. It is well to make money, "for the glorious privilege of being independent," but knowledge is more precious than gold. There is hardly an ythingthat people will not part with for' money: 'but we never knew any person wno wouia De willing to pe uepnvea oi nis knowledge and become ignorant for any price.

A NTOUY OF A M LYE It MINE.

The Rise and Pall of the Magnifioeat Little Pittsburgh. What Two Shoemakers Found Iees Than Two Years Ago How They Disposed of It Stocked for S80.000.OOO A Buoyant Balloon That Has Become as Heavy aa Lead. Messrs. Wood and Wm. II. Steven. made the first carbonate discoveries in Leadville in the summer of 1877. Before the first fall of snow from 300 to oOO prospectors wandered over the country. Tbey made few locations. The first discovery was what is known as the Iron mine. It was followed by the location of the Hallett & Cooper, alias the Carbonate, now owned by the Leadville Mining com pany. The ore in these mines was of un usual richness. Thre was a rush of prospectors in the spring. George Freyer, Wm. Borden, August Reiche, and Gorge Hook were among them. I rcyer and Borden be gan propctmg on a hill northeast of the mines already located, now called Freyer Hill. They found ore deposits at a depth of ?.0 fWt, and m.-ile a location named the iuue iiscovery. neiene and Hook were W . i 1 -v shoemakers. Hook was fresh from the last. but Reich had sloshed around the Rockv Mountain gulches for years. Lieutenant Governor Tabor, of Colorado, had given them grub stakes and tools, on the promise of an equal interest in their discoveries. When Freyer and Borden located the Little Dis covery, the shoemakers were digging a hole in a sag of the bill, 400 feet ea? t of the Die covery shaft. I he locality was so unpromis ing that the shoemakers were the butt of the camp. 1 hey were digging in a spot where all scientific men agreed tbat ore could not be found. At the depth of 33 feet, however, Reiche and Hook struck a bed of rich sand carbonate. They supposed that it was a true vein. It was really a deposit, or what is known in mining parlance as a blanket lode. The ore ran from 60 to 1,WX) ounces of silver to the ton, and carried from 15 to 60 per cent, of lead. Tbe shoemakers named their claim the Little Pittsburgh. It was a fractional claim, and was located and relocated, deeded and redeeded, and quitclaimed here and there to parties owning adjoining claims, until side lines were established inclosing between eight and nine, acres. These troubles oocured in tbo first rush to Leadville, when claims were nightly jumped and nobody's rights were respected. Some Missourians located a claim called the Winnemuc, which over lapped the Little Pittsburgh and the Aimee, an adjoining mine. The Missourians sold the Winnemuc to Dr. C. R. BisselL A. B Hunter, and S. H. Foss. They sunk a shaft, and discovered valuable mineral at the depth oi io- I eel. xne innemuc was really a part of the north end of the Little Pitts burgh. The south end was being worked by ltt iche, Hook, and Tabor, and the north end of the New Discovery by Freyer and Borden . In October, 1878, United States Senator Jerome B. Chaffee visited Leadville. His first purchase was a half interest in the New Discovery, for which he paid $50.000. He. afterward bought a sixteenth of the same mine, thus gaining full control. . Meantime Reiche and Tabor had paid $90,000 for Hook's interest in the Little Pittsburgh, They offered Chaffee $125.000 for his interest in the New Discovery, and the senator ac cepted it. Before leaving the camp, however, he purchased Reiche's interest 1 1 the Little Pittsburgh. New Discovery, and Dives, paying therefor $262,000. On November 18 all the interests in these mines, including the Winnemuc, were consolidated, and the property was worked under a copartnership. 1 he partners were Chaffee, Tabor, r ose, Bissel and Hunter. Chaffee was to receive 36 per cent, of the profits. Tabor the same, and Foe., Hunter, and Bissell the remainder. The mines were thus operated until the sprlnr of 1879. Chaffee then bought out the interests of Foss, Bissell and Hunter, ac cordsng to the teims oi a contract made in Novmeber of the previous year, for $330 000. The senator came to this city, and secured the incorporation of the Little Pittsburgh Consolidated Jtlining company. Ibe mines were stocked for $20,000,000200,000 share, at a par value of $1UU a share. The company was incorporated on Aüril 26, 1879. The report of the general mana ger asserted that tbe net receipts from the mine for the five previous months were $481,984.GO. In December the stocK boomed away up in tbe thirties, and was still firmly held. The dealings aggregated 1 1,605 shares. The smallest sale was 95 shares on the 17th at S030J, and the largest 2,'200 on the 1 at 32A(a,33J. The highest quotation in the month was 33?. On the 31st 200 shares were sold at 28. The decline was due to reports that the mine was being gutted. Subsequent developments have proved that there was a substantial foundation for these reports. Chaffee and Moffat knew nothing abont the practical working of a mine. They seem to have placed implicit confidence in Jilr, Bearce. their superintendent. He was be lieved to be a thorough miner. Certain it is that he caught the mining fever in its worst form. It is asserted that instead of attending solely to the interests of the Little Pittsburgh, he ran over into the Gunnison country in the fall, and was on the qui vive for an individual venture. On his return he found tbat his men were drifting in barren ground and that no fresh deposit had been discovered. To keep up the regular monthly dividends he began to draw on his reserve ore. The mine, unlike the Little Emma, was open to all visitors, and his operations were apparently no secret. Something was wanted to sustain a drooping market. General J. G. Wilson, the general manager of the company, came to this city, and on January 9 made a report asserting that Sl,UU,uw had been taken from the mines since the organization of the company, He estimated that 30 months' dividends were in sight, and fancied that they might possibly reach $5,000.000. He said that after making due allowance for poesible barren eround and all other con tingencies it would be safe to reckon that the remaining undeveloped portion of the property would yield a net profit ot $26,000,000, or say a total of $33,000,000 from the date of discovery. I would rather . underesti- . . . . .

mate the amouat than overstate it,wiaa;d General Wilson. 'I want to state an amount

that I feel confident results will justify." : , no nnno 1.-kv4 To Ol .t O"! !NOO The regular monthly dividend was declared on February 1. , j .Meantime Senator Chaffee was recuperating hia health in the orange ' groves of Florida. Jlr. Bearce was working diligently at his re serves, lie worked too diheentlv. for he withdrew ore that served as supports, and as the mine was badly ' timbered the ground came down, " burying the anticinated March dividend. In 10 months 'divi dends aggregating nearly $1.500.000 had been paid. Up to the 1st of March the gross bullion product of the four claims from the date of location, calculated from the bert information, was over $5,500,000. Thia included dividends, working expenses, cost of permanent improvements, and working charges, deducting the profits of smelters and ore buyers. It is certain that both Chaffee and Moffat received information of the ' burial of the March dividend 10 days in advance of the other directors. They held about 90,000 shares between them." Over 65.000 shares wore sold before the end of the month, and the stock ran down like a clock without a pendulum. On February 28 it struck 13. The panic was aggravated by a ring of bears, in cluding possibly a few of the virtuous directors, who went short on the market and circulated the wildest rumors. They were as busy as bees and twice as annoying. They resorted to every device to keep the stock on the downward jump. They indirectly offered $50,000 to a gentleman who had 10,000 share in trust if he would appear frightened and offer them at four or five points below the market rate While the stock was trembling at 13, a well-known firm issued a circular as setting that the mine had petered out. This again sent the stock whirling down hill, and gave the jubilant bears an opportunity to cover their shorts. In the first 12 cavs of March 95,038 shares were sold on the Ex change, ranging in price from 151 to 81. On Tiaren i ö tne airectors oi tne company neia the following amount of stook: Names. Share.

Many a promising young man has been ruined because he did not know how to' say no. ' Hannah More, in her storv of "Parlev the Porter," illustrates the evil results of dallying with temptation. The porter parleved ' with the enemv until the bouse was robbed and ruined. There are many people who say "No," but so laintly that the words seem to stick in tbe throat, and onlv invite further persuasions, tiaid one littfe boy who was advised to persuade his mother to reconsider some decision to which she had come, "When my. mother says 'No,' there is no Yes in it." Many a man tempted by appetite within and by associates without, says "No" but feebly and faintly; his No. has a Yes in it, and the Yes finally prevails over the No. We remember an anecdote of a young Ilhode Island boy, which we put on record in sub stance as we heard it related. He was coming along up the street one day with a young man who lived near mm, who was somewhat exhilarated with strong drink, and after walking along awhile his compapion drew a bottle from his pocket and said: "Have some? ' 44 Well, hand it over," replied out friend. The bottle was passed to him, and raising it aloft be hurled it with a crash against the stone wall, and turning to his dazed and as tonished companion, said, "There don't jou ever put a bottle to my lips again." Tbe young man was perhaps a little in clined to be irritated, but had sense enough to restrain his anger, and while our friend had no further occasion to resist his solicita tions to drink, there is reason to suppose that the forcible example set before his companion had a restraining influence to hold him back from an evil path. That young man's "No" had "no 1 in it," and his parents look with a just pa rental pride upon a son who has grown up undefiled by alcohol, and tobacco, and kindred abominations, and who is their joy and hope for days to come. "Will vou tell me." I said, "in what vou think ia the secret of a woman's lasting power what quality is it in her which makes her hold her husbaad s heart roreveri" fcThat she should be a pillow' answered Mr. Dixon seriouslv. 4,I mean that in her. as on a pillow, her husband must find repose, lie gets hard knocks enough in the world people stick their sharp corners into him they hurt his pride or wound his sensibilities. Let him be able to go home feeling that there, at least, is some one who believes in him utterly, lie has no need to tax himself, if he Is tired. She will be contented even if he does not tell her his best stories, or tells her the old ones three times over. She asks nothing of him but that he will be himself. Do you think years make such a refuge of less worth? No,'.' a man will never stay long, away from such companionship the eincer est flattery, the most perfect rest,". " " ' '
