He is the noblest man of whom our
free country can boast whether in the
workshop or at the plow, you find the
same noble hearted, free and inde-
pendent being. And if there is q
man in society upon whom We look
with esteem and admiration, it il the
Independent, sober workingman. We
care not whether he be farmer, mechanic
or common s;lahorer-whether hist tolls
are endured in the workshop, or the
.coalmine; whether his home is in the
'backwoods or liz the neat cottage-our
admiration is the same. Whata-happy
picture he presents :. what a reward'for
his labor, who, by his own unaided ex-
ertions establishes for himself a respec-
table position in society; who, commen-
cling in poverty, by his skill and assid-
,uity; 'surmounts every obstacle, over
comes every prejudice, and finally sue
.ceeds in forming a character whose val
tue is enhanced by those who come after
him. ~ e-4er-s7 = ,s--S-s.& -,

we are ashamed of the products Of them,
but Us soon as q mine is proved 10 be a

other trivial reasons they 1.-THE owners)
would rather have nothing said about

that most Of the miners in this locality
are what are termed coasters, miners
who are acquainted with every ledge in

incorporated companies here and here
abouts to d-n any one mining camp,
and have made up their minds that If
the Incorporated companies will not
work they must lot others. This being
the case, when they find a rich pocket
they are apt to keep quiet. During the
past two years there have been many
thousands of dollars worth of gold and
silver extracted, which fact has been
kept q profound secret. - Esmeralda

A RETURN REFusED.-The application
of the State Of Ohio for q return Of the
papers connected with the ratification
ofthe Fourteenth Constitutional Amend.
ment by the Legislature of 1867, which
was made to the Secretary Of State, has
been refused. Mr.. Seward declares that
there is no law which will authorize a
return Of the papers, and so the ratif-
cation and the resolution withdrawing
the consent Of the State that the amend
ment shall be adopted remain upon
file in the State Department. This &C
ton is undoubtedly correct. 1t would
be a very improper thing for the Secre-
tary of State to attempt to decide that a
State, once having ratified an amend
ment to the Constitution, has q right to
withdraw its consent, whether before
the instrument is adopted by the neces-
sary vote Of three-fourths Of the State
Legislatures, or not. 1t is very doubt
full whether the attempt made in Ohio
is of the least validity, and not a few
good constitutional lawyers believe that
it is not. The best opinion seems to be
that a ratification once made exhausts
the power of the State over the subject
matter, and is final upon the subject.

THE Chicago Tribune in an article on
the management of the Union and Gen.
trail Pacific Railways says: The present
exactions of fares and freights are out Of
all reason and cruelty oppressive. The
effects of their continuance will be to
cripple business, to hinder the develop
ment of the mineral region, to diScour-
age emigration thither, and to render
the cost Of living unnecessarily and inn
moderately high in the mines, and OF
consequence make the extraction Of the
precious metals from the ores u%nprofta-
BILE and impossible. This rapacious
policy on the part Of the companies is
short-sighted and foolish. But it is
hard to make %monopolies understand
the error committed by overcharging
tho public. They look at the matter
from q single standpoint, viz To obtain
the largest possible sum Of money from
the people for the worst and least
amount of service. This is a penny
wise and pound foolish principle, but it
is the universal practice Of oil unre-
strained corporations.

HrALruFuLyEss OF APPLES.

HEALrHFULNEss OF APPLEs.-There is
scarcely an article of vegetable food
more widely useful and more universally
liked than the apple. Why every farmer
has o an apple orchard, where the
trees will grow at all, is one Of the mys-
teries. Let every housekeeper lay in q
good supply of apples, and 1t will be
the most economical investment in the
whole range Of culinaries. A raw mel
low apple is digested in m hour and n
half, while boiled cabbages require FIVE
hours. The most healthful dessert that
can DO placed On the table is o baked
apple. If eaten frequently at breakfast,
with coarse bread and butter, without
meat or flesh Of any kind, it has an ad-
mirable effect on the general system,
often removing constipation, correcting
acidities, and cooling of q febrilc con-
dition more effectually than tho most
approved medicines. If families could
DO induced to substitute apples, sound
and ripe, for pies, cakes and sweetmeats,
with which their children are too fire..
quently stuffed, there would be q diminu-
ton in the sum total Of doctors bills,
in n single year, sufficient to lay in q
stock of this delicious fruit for the whole
seasons use.-C Christian Adpocdte.

is nowhere so we'll tested as by perse.

which wins-the half hour which the
student devotes to gathering up the frag-
ments that are left, to noting down the
stray unused facts, to placing them
under old heads, or to in%venting new
heads which may comprehend them, to
summing up the proceedings of the day,
and to fixing in his mind as nearly as

AN INFANT MoSsrRosIrY.-We received

negro child, born of a colored woman
living near the upper levce junction,
that pictures q perfect m~onstrosity.
This child, born last Wednesday, has a
face directly on the top Of its head sup
ported by u bouy process that forms a
complete circle. Its nose and mouth
project together, like those Of On ape ;
and its arms, which have no elbows or
wrist joints, terminate in a "fork,"
furnishing two feshy projections to
each, somewhat resembling fingers.
Its legs and feet are well formed, but Of
q size IL of all proportion with its
body. Since its birth it has not whim-
pered, and the belief is entertained that
il is not supplied with the organs of ar
t~iculation. Its mother goes by the
name of Aunt Mandy" and seems to

ture rs if it were designed to prove a
