ROMANCE OF THE MIXES. The Reward That Cane Alter Eight Veari Work. Special CotTPsp mdence of the Times. Sllvkk Cliff, July 2, 1879. It has occurred to me that a few

instance exemplifying the wayward nes of fortune ia mining camps may be of interest to your readers. Here is one strange but true. Twenty-five years ago three men toiled across the plains from the Missouri River, and up into the mountain of Nevada. High up among the cliffs they found one day a float-rock showing free gold, aud going to the foot of the mountain began diifting, or tunneling in toward the hidden source of surface wealth. They blasted and cut their way through soHd rock inch by inch, day after day, guining but two feet each week, and at the close of the first year they bad a tunnel KM) feet in length, but no mineral, no provisions aud no money to buy them. Oue of the partners Said he would woik there no longer, deeded his interest to his fiieuds, and It ft them in search of employment that would sustain life. The two in possession "viewed the prospect o'er," and one volunteered t return to their old home; ni procure means to prosecute their wot k. Thid he did, a d in due time gratified bis ftiend by briuging as they supposed, an ample store of supplies aud suHleient ready cash to t uable tiieiii to complete their tunnel. For three years more thee two hewed their way into the mountain, gaiuiug but one hundred feet each year, au I still no glittering gold relieved the somber gray of cold granite Wid s and r of of the passage they had carved out with ,fuur yeara of toil. Again their supply of money and provisions was exhausted. The patient courage of one was exbaueted also, but the ftlih of his partner was yet eqital to moving that particular mountain, and he resisted the ent:ea.I?s of his frietid to abandou the undertaking. Accepting the pn-ffered gift of that fiiend's interest.

the now sole possessor of what bhoald nave been a mine sat down to tbiuk it over. He recalled (un it heard some time before of an old time friend who had "struck It rich" a year or two earlier about fifty miles away. "It is worth a trial." be said. "He may refuse to aid me here, but he will uot deny me shelter and food, which I must have. I'll try." And

he did. His old friend gave him some good advice, and loaned him, $5,000 In money. He accepted the first cheerfully-the last thankfully -and returned to his work. Employing an assistant the tunnel was drlveu into the mountain nearly four hundred feet further in the ensuiug four years. They used the 1 t le pow der aud fuse remain! g in firiug a laat shot, and with the last caudle, aought diligently along every inch of wall aud roof throughout the eight hundred feat, but did not And a trace Of gold. With nothing left to eat bat a single quatt of beans, no money or credit to procure more, the future must have looked as dark and gloomy to the owner aud his hungry uesistant as did the yawning tunnel behind them. Forgiving his employer the balance of unpaid wages the assistant sought employment and food elsewhere. Left in solitude at the entrance of the dark cavern, within which he had spent eight yeara of his life, the lonely owner was tempted to do what his confreres had all done in turn, but the vision which had enthralled him

so often appeared again, fascinated and held him spell-bound. He walked to the office of a mininu company some distance away, asked the superintendent to take a light, go with him, and examine his property. The kind-hearted oflielal accompanied him, scanning the barren walls as he passed slowly along for about 400 hundred feet, halted a moment, moved on a little way, came back, aud looked again. "Here," said he, "is the crevice. You have paaeed it. Put a shot or two in nere and you will uncover gold." ml baye nt ither puwder nor fuse to

make another shot," said the weary man. "Then," answered the superintendent, "come wit!; me to my office and I will supply you." The offer was gratefully accepted, the shot was fired, and more than $,- 000 worth of gold was laid bare. He, perhaps, might describe hte feelings at this realization of hia dream, but I won't attempt it. He named his mine with the first startled exclamalion, "Eureka!" and sold it a little later for $5,500,000. The ensuing four years were spent in hunting up Mi old partners, employes and friends, who bad aided bim in any way, recompensing tbem liberally for assistance and favors (lining his days of poverty. The name of this true ami hardy spirit might have been Jones, but I do not know what it was. Other instances of steadfast faith and perseverance under trying circumstances, and 1 ng delayed rewards coming when almost too late, have come to my knowledge during my soj mm here, which may be chronicled another time. There ar n en now enjoying ptinc ly incomes in this valley in whose lives hope and despair alternated for yeara, whose recompense came not an hour too soon to save themselves and families from absolute want. I live In hope that my reward won't be delayed too long, premising I am to have any. Nkmo. Washington Letter. WAsnrxoTOJ, July 18, 1879. The Democrats, hard pressed for an ezcua for political exiateuce.

have lately undertaken to make political capital toe their dragging and lagging campaigns by charging Republicans with lack of interest in the soldiers, and failure to provide tin i. with officers or pay their j ist claims upon the Government. How far wrong this is may be learned by observing the Urge proportion of wound d soldiers aud the ft lends who are comfortably quartered iu the Departments. How vicious the charge is may be known from the manner iu which the Confederate House and Senate have kioeJ out u liju crippled soldiers wbenevr a phtce was wauted for a gray back. The latest cuse aaiust theui is that of Htduey L. Wi iso.1 who has b-jen employed as assistant Doorkeeper of the Senate since 18 J. At the buttle of Gjttya burg he was seveiely wouuded, I jaiug both legs. Wbeu Congress adj urued he left Waiblugtn fjr bis bom confident that he would bj reiaiued iu bis place. Uj the 1st of July Sergeant at Arms Ltiigbt wiole to Wilson, iaformiug bim that be would cease to be an offljcr of the Suate after J jty 7th. Comment upon this actiou of Mr. Bright ic uuuecesaary. Had Wilson uo claim because of his unusual wounds received in battle, his long aud faithful service as au olli jer of the Swuale entitled him at this particular tim , wneu Congress is not in session, to at least a one moutlr's notice before he was discharged. Upon the other point, the charge of ueglectiug to pay soldiers' claims, the Cjufederate villitlers are completely auswered by the way iu which Uj Departments have adjudicated aud paid the claim of peu iouers under tha arears of peiuija act. The The Treasury Department yesterday issued wsrrauts on the last batch of requisitions rec ived from the Secretary of the lotetlor for araars or pensions, amouuting to $1,8J5,000, which amount, added to $'3,035,0 J J ul randy paid siuce the 1st of the fiscal year, makes a total of $1,810.000 paid nince July it, whloh is a pretty good show ing for rapid work on the part of the Treasury Department to promptly pay this meritorious class of public creditors when It is 103 degree iu the shade. Of the $25,000,000 appropri ated aud made available in April last there has been paid up to date $10,219,000. The Demiuratio slanderers are walcome to all the capital they can make out of this kiud of misrepresentation. In connection with the late splendid showing of the Treasury Department touching the resumption and refunding politics, it is interesting to note that aa important conference of financhrs will be held in Saratoga N. Y., on the 0th, 7th and 8th of August. The occasion is the annual convention of the American Bankiug Association, but besides the Natiouul Banks, of which some two thousand will bo represented, the saviugs an I trust Institutions and commercial interests will appear in force. Among the topics to be discussed will be the refundiug of the public debt by which the annual burden of taxation for the payment of interest has been reduced from $150,977,697 in August 1865 to about $84,000,000 at present. This relief to the people from the burdens o' taxation, it is claimed, has been malDly effected through the agency of the banks. A review (non political of course) of the origin, progress, methods a id completion of the work will be given tothe Convention. A similar review of the work of resumption will also be given with statistical and practical addresfea. Personal reminiscences of bnuking

and bankers will form one of the interesting features of the three days' session. The Republican Congressional Committee are hard at work scattering stalwart speeches. Secretary W. E. Chandlf . has been here to look after the work, but has now gone to California. He gives a hopeful view of things everywhere, and says the Republicans must have a sol d North. Chairman Hubbell of the Committee is going home to Michigan this week to look after local politics a little, and his assistant, Cons?ressmnn Fisher, of Pennsylvania, will have charge in his absence. Democratic bulldozing has begun asrain in South Carolina. Mr. Swails, the colored man who was driven out of Williamsburg county two yeara ago for mnkiog political speeches, has been living here since. It was reported recently that be would return to his home, whereupon the Democratic organ there warned him not to do so at his "personal peril." The newspaper article was a most outrageous exhibition of the lawless ness prevalent there. Leo.

What an Tn liaiiapnit.s ( itizen Wi'nwuMl in (he Plague -Stricken City. Mr. John Tangart, of the firm of Tagpart Brothers, of this city, who has just returned from Memphis, related to a Journal reporter a number of incidents la legard to the yellow fever scourge in that city, which have a melancholy interest. Mr. Taggart lived at Memphis during a considerable part of the epidemic last year, and was all the time a close aud careful observer of the events occur ing around bim. Among other things, he said : "All the fatal cas s of yellow fever (with one exception? which ocourred in Memphis th s year, previous to last Satutday, were located in the very best part of the city. The victims all lived in houses situate on high ground, where there was plenty of air, and where it would seem disease was least likely to strike. Judge Ray, who was the first to die, lived iu a beautiful house, apparently in a most healthy eituatiou. Theie bad been a death from yellow fever last year In the Judge's household, but every possible precaution had been taken in the way of disinfecting and cleansing to ptevetit a reappearance of the disease. Judge R ty was seized with the fever while pleading at the bench, and was obliged to adjjuro court. His house has become the center from which tho fever has spread through tlmt part of the city. "Whatever else may be the cause of yellow fever, I feel sure that the question of dirt or cleanliness has little to do with it. I know every part of the city of Memphis, and its couditiou this year is oue of exceptional cleanliness. The city was quite as clean as Indianapolis is today, and much cleaner than Louisville. What may be the origin of the dis ase I do not pretend to say, and the doctors who have bad the most expel ieneu iu trealiug it are the men who are uust reluctant io express au opinion on this subject; but the opinion is constantly guining grouud that it belongs to that part of the couutiy, is natural to if, aud will now originate there even if it is not introduced. "Scarcely any idea can be formed ol the dreadful prospect "which lies before the fifteen or twenty thousand people who will be compelled to stay iu ilemphis for lack of meaus to gel away. With the exception of two coloied militury companies who have volunteered ttieir services aa guuid, and a few ot the pobue who will stay on duty, it is feuied the citizeus will be without protection, and here is a large representation of the dungerous classes in the city that greatly ureds watcniug. There will be littl er no woik f.r anybody, and people canuot ruise money by selliug furniture or clothes because there is noue to buy. Add to all '.' is the scarcity of ptovisious, and the fact that every little town within tweuty or thirty miles of Memphis has quarantined iu the stiictest possible manner against Memphis, aud you will see that the prospect is iudeed appalliug. D j uot tbiuk there will be as much outside help for yellow fever sufferera this year as there was last summer; the people of Memphis do not expect there will be, and yet tbey can tcarcely do much to help them a dves. "This quarantine aguinst Memphis by the surrounding towns, however ueceasury it may be, is in itself a dreadful hardship to a gteat many. Men are stationed on every road all around ihese towns, with double bar teled shot-guns, aud ordered to shoot any person coming from Memphis who attempts to pass them. Families are often divided iu this way, and parents aud their children are shut off from each other. I bad a man in my employ last year who was left in Memphis with one of his children (a little girl u year or two old) when the quarantiue was declared. He rode as far as be could on the cars, but it was only after walking a long distance across the country and risking his life several times that be reai bed the house where his relatives were stopping, only to be told tbut if be came anywhere near the house he would be shot. "One of the most distressing fea tures of such an epidemic is that utter callousness with which the dead are treated. People become so hardened that they haudle the dead body of a human being with as little respect as tbey would a dog. I saw a man last summer riding along the street seated cn a pile of coffins each of which contained a corpse. I'resently he remembered it was breakfast time, aud weut into a restaurant to get something, a moment or two after he was riding along again, eating his breakfast off of a coflin lid, with swarms of Hies buzzing all around bim, which had been attrueted by the dead bodies. Coffius are just slid down flights of stairs like an ordinary express package. When I arrived at Memphis, last summer, one of the first sights that attracted my attentiou was a pile of 150 coffins., ranged on either sido of one of the principal streets, and I found that

the understanding was that every

body came and took a coffin, just as they needed them, without asking anybody. The bill of the city undertaker for burying paupers amouufed to over $14 000, and the one drug store that kept open all summer made more than $30.000 net profits. "All the doctors of Memphis without exception are standing to their post9, although most of them havo sent away their families. On the same train upon which I bft Mem phis was Dr. Laki, one of the most eminent doctors of the c t3. who last year had thr e attacks of the fever, but recovered. I snid to him, 'Why, Doctor, are you running away?' ' No,' he replied, I h ive sent off my family some days ago, and now I am goiug to bid my wife good-bye.' When I asked him why he wished to bid bis family good bye, he replied, 'Because I expect 1 shall not ive through this summer. I cun bear to die. but I could not for a moment tbiuk of le. ving at such a time.' This was said with the utmost seriousness, and I could not help thinking wbav a grand instance was thus affordtd of selfsacrifice in the line of duty." Indianaiwli Journal The National Banks. Secretary Sherman addressed the people of Portland, Maiue, Wednesday of last week, on the political issues. On the question of abolishing national bauks, he spoke as follows: The quesiicu of f he continuance of the national bank notes ia one of grave difficulties, Which should be ta ken up by the people of the Uuited States aud considered aud discussed with the utmost care. I am not specially the advocate of suy kiud of bauks; but it is certain that the national bauks are the best that ever were devised couceded to be so by the leading economists of other nations, and proveu to be 0 iu our own country by a comparison Wtth the State banks. They ate generull) distr.buted throughout the Palt Slates, aud form local ageucies to promote exchanges. Their notes are absolutely secure beyond preadventure. Tuey are guarded against counterfeiting so successfully that scarcely euy h ss happeusiu this way. Compared with the old system of State bauks, tbey are iu every respect superior, and uo sensible man would exebauge the iiatioual system for the State bank system. The banks ate free, are organized under general law opeu to all alike; ao that the bus! ess of banking is as free as tbut of blaeksmithing. There is uotujuopoly iu it, except that only men haviug tuoucy cau batik, precisely as only those can farm who either own or reut laud. These bauks are charteied foJ twenty years, and the earliest to expire will be iu 1883; so thai ihe question of their discou tinuuuee cauuot honestly be determined until then. The substitution of greenbacks for bank notes, if seriously attempted, would uiake such a stringency in money, aud such a disturbance iu business, that in comparison with it the punic of 1873 would be but a shower to a hurricane. The withdrawal of the circulating notes from the bt nks would, nece. satily, compel the sale of the bonds deposited for their security, and this woul unques'iouably lead to the collection of loans aud discouuts; which would affect every village and hamlet iu the land. It is objected to the national banks that tbey draw interest un the L'uited States bouds deposited by them. As to the bouds held by ibeui, they are the property of the stockholders, aud uot the property of the Govet utueut. We require them as secutby to the holders of the notes because it is the best security. If the bank goes out of existence, the interest of the bonds will still have to be paid by tiie Government. As to the circulaiing uot s, a part of tbem must be held iu reServe, and a p u t loaned to busiues.s men; but Tor this privilege, open to all alike, they have paid to the Na tionsl and State governments taxes averaging $16,908,181 a year, for the last ten years, a sum greater than five per cent, of the eullre a i ount of their circulating notes. If the tax is not sufficient you can increase it. But, it Is said, the Government might issue these circulating notes and sa interest. Iu doing so, however, it would lose at once the taxes collected from the banks; it vvould violate the public faith, pledged in an express provision of the law creating the public debc. that the amount of the Uuited Blattet notes shall not exceed $400,000,000; it would make necessary larger ri -ei es to maintain resumption on the increased amount of! I nited State notes, and would event ually lead to the abandonment of all j idea of a specie standard, and agaiu launch the country on thebeaof irredeemable money, with tho inevitable ' result of wibl speculation panic, und bankt upey.
