Silver Mines in Utah.

= Experienced miners know very well
that silver mines of much value are
only found in mountainous regions
where the indications to geologists are
beyond a doubt. Volcanic agencies
have in some remote period been
exerted on a gigantic scale. Thus in
Mexico and in the rich silver leads of
Utah, the evidences of an upheaval
force that elevated extensive ranges of
frightfully ragged mountain ridges
from profound depths, are so plausi-
BILE as to be admitted at sight, even by
those who have no scientific qualifica-
tions for guiding them to that con-
clusion. It seen that silver is thrown
up from a vast depth in the earth,
where, from the quality commingled
with rocks in condition of liquefac
tion, the quality from which that on
the surface has derived must be in
great abundance in its primitive state
below. Scarcely more than superficial
scratchings characterize silver mines
in the West. The deeper the excava-
ton, the richer will probably be the
product. For thousands of years to
come, those hold, hard, bleak Utah
mountains will be scenes of human in
dustry and skill in pursuit of that
which will make commerce thrive over
the whole world.

From the New York Rural.
Starting in Married Life.

I will tell you a story of nv own ex-
perience in starting in the world
When | vas very young and very poor,
married very poor young man he
worked out by the day, or by the
month, on the farms, and in order
that the stormy days should not con-
sumo the incomes of the fair ones, some
thing must be done What should it
be? He. had no trade for indoor
labor, except making shingles. Then
he had no shop. and it would cost so
much to buy lumber and build one
Heretofore he had spent the stormy
days like hundreds Of young men in
the country, lounging about public
places in.the village, or at some neigh
boris. He had formed the habit, and
liked it right well.
Now" said 1, "James, if we ever
get anything ahead, the Winter must
not consume what the Summer yields :"
True said he, but what can l
do ?'
hesitated a moment, looked at the
neatly secured floor of our little log
cabin, and snow white recess and win
dow curtains, which by the way, were
pieced out from worn out garments.
''Get neighbor Wilson to bring you
same timber, get it sawed, and make
the shingles for half'
Where said he; ''here in the
house ?''
Year after year passed. In our kit
chen barrels were hooped, chairs were
bottomed, barley forks were made
and sold, and l used to pack the shin
giles. And what oft if did not help
him saw the small timber All this
was done in bad weather, and the
children were growing up enjoying
the liberty of making all the litter de-
sirable, whenever they were released
from their hours of study. No one
on earth loves neatness more than 1
but I learned, in time, to sacrifice
neatness, in q measure to prosperity
and happiness.

The Candidate for Supreme Judge,
John L. Green.
% the Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette.

To the Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette:
The election of John L. Green to
the office of Supreme Judge would be
misfortune to the people of Oh10.-
At this time the Supreme Court is
crowded with cases, and it is under
stood that when case is sent to that
court it is laid upon the shelf for
three or four years. Consequently a
Judge in that court ought to be in the
vigor of life, with strong constitu-
ton But Judge Green is now about
seventy years of age; he was in prac-
tice as lawyer in Ohio in 1880, hav-
ing before that time been a candidate
for the Legislature in Virginia. He
has now been at the bar-at least forty
two years. He is not in good he alth
and was never noted for industry. 1t
is well known that he is often com.
planning of i'll health, and Judge Olds
(who presides in the same sub divis
ion. and who is a much younger and
better lawyer than Green) has to per
form. large share of the work that
Judge Green ought to do. 1t is not
likely that he will ever be in better
condition for judicial duty. The Su-
preme Court ought not to be made
hospital for decayed lawyers.
Judge Green's qualifications for the
bench are inferior to those Of many
younger lawyers in Ohio. He had
not the advantage of thorough edu-
cation in his youth, and he has not
overcome the defect by laborious
study. His stock of legal acquire
nents is not large, and he is not likely
to increase it. Besides he lacks dis
eliminating legal mind, and commits
numerous errors. Many of his decis-
ions are reversed, and more of then
ought to be, if parties would carry
their cases to a higher tribuu al. He
would not prove safe Judge in the
Supreme Court, and would not render
much aid to its members
During the rebellion Judge Green
was Republican, and his ''voice was
still for war" He went to Columbus

presented himself as a candidate be
