AVOID EXTREMES.-"In the times of
turbulence" said Washington, "when
the passions are afoat, calm reason is
swallowed up in the extremes to which
measures are attempted to be carried !;
but when those subside, and its empire
is resumed. the man who acts from prin-
ciple, who pursues the path of truth,
moderation and justice, will regain his
influence" These are golden words
We commend them to every man who is
tempted to sacrifice his deliberate con.
victions, whether in politics, social life,
business or otherwise, to what he thinks
e8pediency. There is not really more
fatal thing, in the long run, than this
delusive expediency. 1t not only de-
bauches the conscience but generally
betrays its victim. Avoid, too, as
Washington has said, being driven, by
passion or prejudice into extremes
Those who yield to the frenzy of the
hour invariably have to regret it, unless
they are fools, knaves or demagogues,
on all combined. Be true to your prin-
ciples, yet let there be no hasty iudg-
ments, no wild extremes, but solid care
fully considered nvictions.-Ledger.

sunshine and gladness, and heaven it.
self lies not far off, and then it suddenly
changes, and is dark and sorro wful, and
the clouds shut out the day. In the
lives of the saddest of us there are
bright days like this, when we feel as If
we could take the great world in our
arms. Then come gloomy hours, when
the fire will not burn on our hearths and
all without and within is dismal, cold
and dark. Believe me, every heart has
its secret sorrows, which the world
KIN Pws not, and ofttimes we call man
col ID when he is only sad.

Miners Meeting.

At meeting of the miners of North
San Juan, Junction Bluff, SweetIand's,
Birchville, Cherokee and Badger Hill,
on Monday, December 1st, 1886.
held pursuant to a general call, for the
purpose of taking some measures
towards alleviating the pecuniary diff
culties under which they have been
laboring for long while past, in conse-
quence of the high prices asked for
water by the companies furnishing it to
the various localities in the said districts,
Mr.. G. E. Olney was called to the chair,
and R. ii. Farquhar appointed secretary.
After brief exposition of tho objects
for which the meeting had assembled by
the chairman, on motion of L. G. Nc
Kibbey, committees Of six, consisting
of Messrs. Farquhar Vesay, McKibbey,
Foults,. Bulacher and Winham, was ap-
pointed by the meeting to draft resolu-
tions expressive of its feelings upon the
matters that are the subject of our de-
iberations.
The committee, after a few minutes
absence, reported the following:
WHEREAS, 1t having been for a long
time apparent to the mining interests Of
the districts of Badger HILL Cherokee,
North San Juan, Junction Bluff, Sweet
lands and Birchville. that the prices
asked for water by the water companies
which have been supplying the said dis
tricts are entirely disproportioned to the
yield of the diggings, and preclude the
possibility of the great majority of the
companies realizing anything over their
expenses, and believing that such con-
dition of affairs is injurious not only to
the miners themselves, but to the pros
perity of the community at large; and
with all Difference to the ability of the
water companies to understand their
own interests best, we think also detri-
mental to Me'r permanent prosperity
it is, therefore,
1st. Resoloed, That for the purpose
of making an effectual organization to
carry out the objects of this meeting, an
executive committee, consisting of one
individual from each mining company
Ito be chosen by the majority of his
company in each of said districts, be
appointed, which committee shall be
empowered to take all necessary mea-
sures to complete such organization.
I'd. Resozeed, That the appointing of
the said Executive Committee be con-
fided to a sub committee of six, consist
ing of one member from each of the said
districts, who shall be instructed to re-
quire said Executive Committee to con-
vene in Green's Concert Hall, North
San Juan, on Wednesday, the Sd De-
cember, 1856, at one o'clock p NJ, there
to take final action in all matters which
may come before said committee.
The following persons were then APP
pointed said committee:
Messrs Morehouse of San Juan, Dick
son of junction Bluff, r. b. Patton of
Sweetland' s, NJ. A. Winham of Birch
vile, A. w. Foults of Badger Hill, and
f. Bulacher of Cherokee.
On motion, the meeting then adjonrn-
ed till Wednesday, December Sd, 1886.

A NATIONAL SONG.
"KEEP STEP TO THE MUSIC
BY NJ. p. RIGNEY.

BY NJ. 2. RIGNEY.
ssKecp step to the music of the Union',
Keep step to the music-the music that thrills
The national heart, from the to the hills,
And which in glorious anthem combines
Its holiest hopes and its holicst designs.
Keep step to the music---though traitors advance
With banner of black, and with uplifted lance,
Be our football but firm they will soon pass away
Like the dcwdamps Of night in the brightness of day
Keep step to the music--that song of the stars
Which brighten our standardcomc peace or come wars
Our step shall be true, and THE UNION shall be
The watchword and hope Of the brave and the free
Keep step to the music-and trample in scorn
On fratrcide foemen a treachery born
Tear their black banner and raise in its stead
The flag meath which heroes and freemen can tread
Keep step to the music-its tones as dear
As the voices of home to the patriots ear /;
The march is Nations whose States e'er shall be
''Distinct as the pillows, yet one as the sea.''

THEORIES CONCERNING EARTH

THEORIES CONCERNING EARTH
oUAKEs.-There are now two prominent
theories held by scientific men respect
ing earthquakes. One of these is what
is called the igneous theory, which main
tains that the earth was once molten
fire ball, and that its interior is still a
fiery mass, and is sometimes caused to
generate waves, which produce oscilla-
tions on the earth's surface. The Sc
cond is what is known as the electric
theory, which attributes the shocks to
disturbed magnetic action in the crust
of the globe; that the shocks are no.
thing more than powerful electric
shocks, As earthquakes are local,
those who dispute the igneous theory
assert that if the interior of the earth
were a molten mass, as held by some,
and earthquakes were caused by waves
of the fluid, then the oscillations would
be felt equally strong on every part of
the earth's crust.

SPLENDID MASONIC TEMPLE.-The
New York Herald says that the Ma
sonic fraternity of that State contem-
plate erecting in the city of New York
an edifice to exceed in magnifcence
and finish anything of the kind on this
continent. 1t is to be five stories high,
of white marble, one hundred feet front
by one hundred and twenty-five deep.
1t will contain ample accommodations
for all masonic purposes, and the ap-
pointments and decorations of the rooms
will be on the most splendid and costly
scale. The Masonic temple in Phila-
delphia, which is regarded as miracle
of beauty and magnifcence, cost about
100000, but this edifce is expected to
cost s5O0,0o0. 1t will probably be To-
Gated on Broadway.
