Known by Its Fruits.

IN the Protestant countries of
Great Britain and Prussia, where 20
can read and write, there are but 13
in the Roman Catholic countries of
France and Austria lese than two
thirds as many. In European conn-
tries, l in every 10 are in schools in
the Protestant countries, and but
in l24 in the Roman Catholic. In
six leading Protestant countries IN
Europe, newspaper or magazine is
published to every 3l5 inhabitants !;
while in 6 Roman Catholic there is
but to every 2,715. The value of
what is produced by industry in
Spain is So to each inhabitant; in
France So, Prussia IS, and IN Great
Britain $31. There are about third
more paupers in the Roman Catholic
countries Of Europe than in the
Protestant, owing mainly to their
numerous holidays and the prevail
ing ignorance, idleness and vice.
Three times as many crimes are com
mitted in Ireland as in Great Britain,
though the population is but a third.
There are SIX times as many homlci
des, four times as many assassinations,
and from three to four times AS many
thefts in Ireland as in Scotland. In
Catholic Austria there are four times
as many crimes committed as in the
adjoining Protestant kingdoms of
Prussia.-N Y. Observer.

For Christ Now.

A lady moving in the highest Cir
cles of society, attended revival
meeting one evening. She was con-,
WINGED of sin, and became alarmed
about her state. Deep convictions
followed. She struggled against
them, but could not get rid of them.
She thought of her many engage
ments, and her social position il
life. Conscience said, "Decide for
Christ now" The world said, "Not
just now, bat by and by such a step
should not be taken hastily"
In this state of perplexity and dis
tress, she retired to her room. Here
the curtain drops-the scene closes
TO mortal view. As she did not APP
pear the following morning, nor an~
swer any call, her room was entered.
Oh what sight to the family The
stiffness of death reigned. There lay
the body, cold, lifeless the soul,
where was it now?
Her diary lay open upon the table
Two entries hadrbeen made the pre-
vious evening, LIST. | am determine

But as if the conflict in her soul had
deepened and conscience had cried

Christ, she made a second entry, I'd.

Phil osophical Uses of the Beard.

The inhaling of metallic particles
to which certain workmen are ex-
posed is replete with serious and last
ing effects. La autopsies of persons
who have died from pulmonary con,
sumption, the lungs are frequently
found filed with the substance be-
longing to the peculiar business
which they have pursued during life.
Cotton, in the form of dust, metal f.
lings, chemical vapors. fumes of cop
per, arsenic, etc., are but small mum
Der OF the many substances which
enter the lungs and finally destroy
the lives OF those engaged in such
occupations. The lace weavers of
Germany, and those occupied in the
paper-staining factories, are particu-
larry exposed to the Sc ernicio as ei-
fects. Many temporary means have
been tried to protecty the artisans
from such fatal consequences, but
none have been found as effectual as
the wearing of a beard and moustache.
These and the hair which grows in
the nostrils are found TO be the best
protection. All who have permitted
their growth can testify to their eff
tcacy in preventing the entrance of
particles OF dust, etc., and by a prop
er attention to cleanliness they will
serve their purpose.-Scientifc Amer.

Important to Letter Writers.

According to recent change in
the regulations of the Post Office De
partment, no letters addressed to ini~
tails will be delivered at any resi-
dence nor in any Post Office box

rest assured that his epistle will new
er be deposited in the box in guess
ton but that, on the other hand,
will be Immediately and effectually
destroyed
1t has been said that "word to
the wise is sufficient" but in this case
either the people are not so wise as
they might be, or else one word is
not quiet sufficient to convince them,
for we are continually hearing com
plants that letters addressed to ini-
tials of obvious MONS de plume, have
fallen to reach their destination.
The information we desire to i'm
press upon the popular mind, espec>
tally concerns advertisers in the pub
lie press. Five out of six miscella-
hOOuo ttuf Ol SUN as
Wants" or "Lost" and "Founds"
notices, simply bear the initials of
the advertisers, and in very many of
these instances the address is not to
the newspaper Office, but to some
box in the Post Office. Such adver-
tisers may he certain that not sin
gle reply to them will ever reach
them The letter, If not addressed
to the paper, must be directed to the
name and not to the initial or nom
deplume ofthe party recipient.
That the above is fact can read |
lily be learned from the Post Office |
authorities of the city. Advertisers
in particular, and the public in gen
eral, will see the necessity of govern
ing themselves accordingly. AS for
the reason of the above regulation, it
is probably Inferred by the authori-
ties that if a man has Legitimate corr
respondence, he will not care to see
other than his own name, while if |
his correspondence is not legitimate,
it is but wise to prevent him from
indulging therein.

A Singular Case.

The jamestown On. Y.) Press
says:
About forty years ago young lady
eighteen years of age, full of lite and
beauty, and a resident of this county,
from some unknown, or, at least I'M
governable cause, became suddenly
Ine ne. For some time she remained
benea. the roof of her parents,
and rec ived the united efforts and
friends. But all to no avail. The
mental faculties were too surely bro
ken. A short time after she became
an inmate of our county poor house
at Dewittville where she remained
untii few days since, a curiosity to
strangers and wholly lost to herself
Well we remember, three years since,
while paying visit to the county
building at that place, noting the
very strange appearance of "Crazy
Ann" There was something pecu-
liar about her arrangement, so much
SO that we have often called to mind
incidents of her conversation, and
peculiar about her manners. But a
few days ago since Cray Ann" re-
assumed her proper cognomen and is
again sane. What sleepl Forty
years of blank existance, and now a
stranger to herself She resumes
life where she left it when young and
beautiful, and companion of the gay
and mirthful. Now she is old, feeble
and gray, in enjoyment only of the
fact that she is again rational, and
buslly engaged in making her own
acquaintance.

Az Communicated
From the Montana Gold Mines.

Mn. Cover Feeling it my duty
to give the miners of the lead regions
some of my experience in searching
for the golden ore here, l sketch a
few lines for publication in your pa
per-
i have been in this place about
eight months. There are from tif.
teen to twenty wages paying claims
IN this gulch-say from five to eight
dollars per day at ten hours work
and such work that the strongest
miner in Grant could not stand over
three years without being badly used
up.
5 There are four companies in oper-
alton here who employ from to II
men each in running drains These
drains have to extend from one to
three miles to strike the bed rock so
that the ground may be worked dry
and many times after the bed rock is
reached at cost of one or two years
labor the job is abandoned. AS far
as can learn, not one in every five
pays, and each drain costs from
twenty to fifty thousand dollars.
1t is my opinion and the opinion
OF many miners from Grant Co. here
that if the same amount of money
and labor was expended in the lead
mines of Grant County, as is expend>
ed here in running drains and bitches,
the County would in five years be
richer in lead than this country is TO.

Many speak favorably Of this
country for farming but | for one

would not exchange 40 acres of
Boice Prairie land for 400 acres Of the
best farming land in this Territory.
Now, about the quartz Lodges that
are being worked here. / have talk.
ed with great many men that have
been interested more or less in quartz
mining in this Territory, and they
quite generally complain because
they have held on too long, and
should have sold sooner. / have not
heard of one of these quartz lodges
paying any great amount.
Helena City is the only point of
much business Importance here. 1t
is pretty little town, the buildings
are good and substantial, There are
five or six churches, two Sunday
schools, and good day schools, three
master mason and one royal>arc
lodges the people are generally in
dustrious and good citizens. All
things considered miner can do
better with a few hundred dollars at
Helena than at any other place in
the Territory with one-third more
money. Very Truly.

Texas Cattle.

The Galv weston Bulletin OF the 26th
ultlno reports q conversation with
Professor Gamgee, who has recently
been investigating the cause of what
is known as the Texan cattle fever.
He has gone to the fountain head
rather than dip into the stream near
It's mouth. As the result of his in
designations Professor Gamgee makes
the following statements of special
interest to stock raisers and dealers
l. That all Texas cattle have laro.
er splecns than Northern cattle and
in all diseased cattle the spleen is
greatly enlarged.
2. That some Texas cattle have
died Of the disease.
B. That the meat from these dis
eased cattle is not unwholesome,
however unpleasant the idea of din.
ing upon it may be.
4. That one diseased steer or COW
will not impart the infection to an
other. Calves sucking diseased cows
have escaped.
-. IhSIO 10 HO ADOWu 1HS0duCO III
which cattle passing on cars have
communicated the disease to the cat
tie of the country.
o. Cattle separated by single
fence from Texas cattle are not af~
fected.
z. After period of ten weeks or
three months in the. North, Texas
cattle lose the power of injecting
others.
g. Corn-fed cattle are harmless.
From these, says the Bulletin, he
adduces the theory that there is
some quality in Texas grass which
lmparts to the ercretio the power of
engendering disease, as is the case in
that human ailment, the cholera.

whether he would have any novels
in q farmers library, Horace Greeley
replies as follows: My uncle Ben
spent the better half of his protracted
life in the new clearings first of Wes>
tern New York, then OF Northwes-
tern Pennsylvania and it was one of
his anxious that, in planting corn on

not necessary to drop any pumpkins
