Ingalls on Silver.
Ex-Senator Ingalls was asked by
a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter
about the suddeu conversion of
Republican Senators, notably ReeJ,
to the cause of silver. The ex-
Senator bristled up and his face
became animated at once.
“It happened to them,” he said,
“as it happened to Saul of Tarsus
as he Went on his way to persecute
the Christians. A great light has
shown down upon our Republican
friends, and they have suddenly
seen the popular demand for a set
tlement of the question on a bi
metallic basis. For myself', f have
always been a bimetalist, and there
never can be prosperity in this
country until we arrive at some
agreement which will maintain the
party of gold and silver. We have
seen that nothing has been accom
plished by the repeal of the Sher
man purchasing clause. You re
member we were told that prosperity
would come when that was repealed.
Now we see that nothing was
accomplished; that more gold has
gone out of the country than before
the repeal; that the times are
harder, the depression more decided
and the prospects more dishearten
ing now than ever before in the
history of the nation. The finan
cial distress now upon us is iucx-j
plicable to those who have no
personal knowledge of it, and there
is no immediate prospect of relief.
The lesson is that our people must
become more economical and more
frugal and saving. There has been
too much extravagenee, too much
living from hand to mouth, with
no thought of ihe morrow. The
American people must begin to
imitate the people of Germany aud
France in the habits of economy
and frugality.
Did you ever take a watch and
see for how many seconds you could
keep a stream of air flowing into
your lungs? If not, make the test,
and you will find that no matter
how small tlie stream y»u can not
keep it constantly flawing in for
more than fifteen, twe ity or pos
sibly thirty seconds; but if you will
try two or three times each day
you can double the time in two
weeks. The boy or girl who will
try this and keep it up for a year,
will not be likely to die of con
sumption, and should they ever
become public speakers or singers
thny will be very thankful that
they commenced whiie young to
take “lung baths.” Harper’s
Young People in speaking about
breathing says; Did you ever
about taking a lung bath ?
One’s lungs need cleansing as surely
as do the hands and face. This is
especially true after one has been
in a crowded hall or church,
breathing in so many impurities.
How can one take a lung bath ?
By simply drawing a deep breath
and then expelling the air from the
lungs. You will fed wonderfully
refreshed thereby and the general
health will be improved.—North
west Magazine.
Wednesday evening we had a
nice rain. Thursday afternoon we
had a hard hail and rail storm and
the hail came down about as fast
and thick as we ever saw it do, for
about two hours. The thermom

and when it was over wc enjoyed
the novel sight of a Christmas
landscape in the middle of J uly.—

The California Miners’ A*ffecta—
| tion of San Francisco has sent oat
a notice to miners that no assess
ment work need ho done this year
on mining claims. A house
bill to that effect was passed by the
Senate in Washington, July 9th.
In order to take advantage of the
law the mine claimant must file
before January 1, 1895, a notice
that he intends in good faith to
hold and work his claim.
.
Jt is also stated in the above
notice that a bill will soon be
brought up in the lower house of
congress providing that in case as a
contest on a mining entry the Land
Office must presume that that the
lands situated in a mineral belt are
mineral lands until the contrary is
proved. The bill is expected to
pass and thereby remove consider
able difficulty and expense in con
testing such suits.
An effort will be made to re
move the penitentiary next year
when tiie legislature meets. 'lt
should be unsuccessful. It is
doubtful if the expense of main
taining the institution could be
curtailed even though it be located
in the most advantageous section
of the territory. The cost of re
moval and erection of new build
ings would be very great, and the
b nefits correspondingly small.
The immediate section to which it
would be moved would be benefited,
but the territory at large would be
the loser.—Prospector.
Good news is at hand of a rich
gold strike in Charles Martin’s
claims on Lynx Creek. At a depth
of sixteen feet a ledge one foot in
width has been exposed, ore from
which essays S6B per ton gold, and
decomposed quartz, taken from l
tween the ledge and the hanging
wall, gives an essay of S6OO per tort
gold. A sixteen-foot tunnel has
been run across another ledge ex
posing three feet of iron ore which
gives an assay of sl6 per ton gold
Much of this iron ore is said to run
50 per cent iron.—Courier.
A beggar who for many years
had subsisted on charity died a few
days ago in Auxerre, France. In
a trunk he left bonds to the value
of 1,000,000 francs, and in his Cel
lar were found 400 bottles of wme
of the vintage of 1790.
The winner of a prize for the
best specimen of microscopic hand
writing, offered in Paris recently,
submitted a postal card containing,
on one side, the contents of the
first two pages of a big newspaper.
Coal tar yields sixteen shades of
blue, the same number of yellow
tints, twelve of orange, nine of

The Rio Grande for more than
200 miles above El Paso, Tex., is
probahly the crookedest and most

We cannot conquer fate and

than if we could.
So should We live, that every
hour may die as dies the natural
flower, a self-reviving thing of

giro* this explanation of tin* re
cent big gold seizure: When the
train arrived from Hermosilbi a
pi?seng*r Was observed to »!ig’»*
from the rear car with a heavy
valine which lie handed to a ««*•-
gador to carry to a hotel on this
side.
J&n inspector had been warned
That asr attempt would bo made to
export a quantity of gold dust
without payment of the 10 per
cent export “duty, so he insisted
upon examination of the valise and
found it To contain $15,000 in gold
dust. The >prize was confiscated
tinder The laws and the possessor
was arrested, fit appears, how
ever, that the treasure did not
belong to hint but to Bioimio
Gonzales, a Mexican army offijer
at HermosHflo, and it -claimed
that r.h- ir was no fraud being at
tempted in the exportation. Gon
zales came aip with his lawyer
Wednesday and made claim that
the messenger in charge of the
treasure had written instructions
to have Broker Sandoval make the
.i
exportation in proper form, but
that as the broker’s office was not
open at that early hour in the
morning he was only going to the
hotel to await the opening of the
business. The arrested messenger
was taken to Hermosillo Friday
where the matter will be fully
investigated.
Au exchange says: An editoi*
once died and slowly wended hit
way to hell The devil saw him
and said: “For many years thou
hast borne the blame in thy paper.
Thy paper has failed, alas, for sub—
sc riptides .were never paid. Thy
printers have deviled thee on Sat
urday eVe for wages and thou hadst
not a red to thy name. Men have
taken thy paper without paying &
cent; yea, verily and cursed thee
for not issuing a better. All these
things hast thou borne in silence.
Thou cans’t not come in. There
will be a continual dunning of sub*
scriberß (for hell is full of them)
and discord will be .created in our
kingdom. Begone 1 Heaven is

The Board ©f Supervisors by a
vote of two to one raised the as
sessment of the Harqua Hal a mines
from $59,000 as given by the com
pany, to $150,000. This action is
to be commended., there WOW being
no doubt about the mines being
patented. The sum fixed by the
Board is certainly reasonable in
view of the fact that $1,000,00$
was paid for the property and the
net profit is $300,000 per annum.
