'ur exchanges at the North are full of the new
sden purchase. At the time of the ratification
he treaty by Gen. Gadsden, the purchase was
tiled and minifed, and the General met rough
atmeut for his acquisition. Now the tide is
hanged, and the following article from the New
York Times tells different tale.
We heard something at the time of the influences
'lch operated in the Hobbies at Washington to pre-
ce Gen. Gadsden, and produce difficulties with
late Secretary of State, but the public have new
yet known why he was recalled. If not incom-
atble with the public interest we would be pleased
hear from the late minister on the subject. We
7e always been of the impression that did we
the history of his diplomacy it would show
his mission had been filed with great honor to
self:
Silver STATE-We have been passing through
age of gold, which ought, according to the nat
order of things, to have followed and not pre-
ID the era of silver. But the day of the pale
among the precious metals is about to dawn
Ell Dorado has become an old affair, and ow we
about to receive an Argentine sister into our Re-
lic. The Gold State is likely TO have as COM
ion a Silver State. The projected Territory of
IONA is reported to be as richly endowed with
1er mines as California is with gold diggings.-
Gadsden Purchase, II all the reports from that
rter should prove true, will be almost valuable
addition to our Territory as California. The Hi
J, on her last passage, brought among her freight
sral packages of silver from that supposed de-
t, which are represented as very rich.
Those ores were from the veins lately opened and
eupied by the Sonora Exploring and Mining Com
~, and were forwarded by the manager Of the
company from Tubsc, Gadsden Purchase, to the Of
fee Of the company in Cincinnati.
The late discoveries Of silver in the Gadsden Pur
chase, it is said attracting much attention in
california. Some of the mines represented as
cry rich in silver, and the proprietors are only
waiting for government to protect the inhabitants of
the Purchase from the depredatiOns of the Indians
enter extensively upon mining operations. The
River Copper mines are about being worked by
mpany formed in San Francisco, and that there
cry probability that a region of country which
heretofore been regarded as utterly valueless,
prove one Of the most productive mineral pos

an OLD STANDING BET DEcIDED.-The New York
rs tells Of bet which was made June, 1927, in
city, and published in magazine called the
sbst, in June of that year. 1t seems that two
tlemen went to tavern keeper, and calling for
host, told him they wanted a supper and cham
yne, on a bet pending between them, provided he
uld wait for his pay until the bet was decided.
iiface agreed, but his chagrin may be imagined
IN, after their sumptuous meal, his customers
him their bet was as to which way the steeple
he Brick Church would fall if it ever did fall
hing at that time seemed more improbable than
the Brick Church steeple ever would fall never
ess it did fall the other day, and fall east at that
e right way for church spire to fall The
lord, if he lives, may now claim his pay from
Western man, If he lives.

SUDDEN DEATH

Just as the train arrived at Wartrace on
Saturday last from Nashville, Mr.. John w. White, a
passenger to RinggOld, Geo., died suddenly. He
had been afflicted with the dropsy for number of
years His wife and children were left destitute,
having but eight dollars in money. The citizens of
Wartrace, though few in number, yet kind and
benevolent soon raised her S75, and thus relieved
her dire necessity. This noble and generous act
speaks well of the citizens Of Wsrtrace.
