Mr.. W. n. Carey . little over Two
years ago, rented the Back Action -
Mill at Washoe. and run it himself aided
by his son, the engineer and amalga-
mator. After working for eighteen
months he found that the business was
not profitable and gave it up. The house
which he had built close BY the mill for
his help to live in was his own, and he
sold it last week for the small sum-con-
sidering the treasure it concealed-of two
hundred and fifty dollars. The man who
bought the house from him set to work

upon ripping up tine ground fioor he be-

MR. GREELEY AND THE TARIFF.-Mr.
Horace Greeley explains in the New York
Tribune how he could put his name to q
platform which says that taxation should
be for revenue only, saying that he asks
of the Cincinnati Convention no more
than this: That it shall acquiesce in his
doctrine, and the truly Republican doc
trine, that the issue between free trade
and protection shall be left for settle.
ment to the people. district by district,
when they choose their members of Con-
gross. IT the convention will treat pro-
lection with that much of civilty, he
and his proteotionist friends will be
satisfied, he says. It is conceded that
naked free trade cannot be made the de-
termining question in the Presidential
election. The World and the Cincinnati
Enquirer accept the suggested oompro-
mise; being in more concern about Gen.
trallzation and tue constitution than
about economical truths which will beat
the protectionists out of the field when
ever they have an undisturbed hearing.
The Tiohborne claimant, in his public
appeal for aid, says: "That am Roger
Charles Doughty Tichborne I suiemnly
declare, and which fact I have already
proved by eighty-six witnesses, and will
prove egain by more than 200, if neces-
sary; and that I am not Arthur Orton L
will prove beyond the shadow of q
doubt by witnesses who knew both
Orton and myself. AS to the tattoo
marks, at least twenty four disinterested
witnesses will prove that I, Roger Tich-
borne. was never tattooed. but that Ar
thur Orton was, there will be conclusive
evidence forthcoming"
A story is told of youthful member
OF the bar at St. Albans, who plunged
into glowing exordium in presenting
his case. in which he declared that
when We look back upon the untrodden
paths OF the future, we behold the foot.
prints of an Almighty hand."
The carpet-baggers' chorus is thus
identified by an exchanges:
Aud we'll steal the bottom dollar
From the land we love the best,
Shouting the battle cry of steal 'em.

Sad Fate of a Bridal Couple.

We learn of a fatal accident that oc-
CURED at the Hawks Nest, yesterday,
and which resulted in the death of a
young couple named Anron, who were
on their bridal tour from the East.
They had come to view the beauties of
this lovely place, and, on going too near
the edge of the cliff, they both lost
their footing and were precipitated be-
low, killing them Instantly. On coming
to their assistance, their bodies and
faces were mangled SO fearfully as to be
unrecognizable. The lady fell on her
head, mashing it into atoms, breaking
her breast into jelly. The gentle:
mans brains were knocked out, and
his body broken to pieces. Their
friends have been telegraphed for, who
are supposed to be in Buffalo, N. "

UD in the Barn.


Old farmer Joe steps through the doors,
As vide to him as the gates of Thebes;
And thoughtful walks across the floors
WhereoR are piled his winter stores,
And counts the profits of his globes.
Ten tons of timothy up there.
And four of clover in the bay;
Red-top that's cut we'll. middIin' fair;
And bins of roots oblong and square,
To help exc out the crop of hay.
A dozen head of cattle stand
Reflective in the leaf-strewn yard;
And stalks are stacked on every hand,
The latest offspring of the land,
To labor long maintained and hard.
Cart loads of pumpkins yonder lie,
The horse is feeding in his stall:
The oats are bundled scaffold high,
The peas and beans are heaped hard by.
AS II there was some festival.
At length old farmer Joe sits down
"A patch across each of his knees;
He crowds his hat back on his crown.
Then clasps his hands SO hard and brown,
And like farmer takes his ease.

" Far hetter ia IL No IL is.
What future waits him no man knows:
What he has got, that sure is HIS:
It makes no odds if stocks have riz,
Or politicians come to blows
Content is rich. and somethIn' more,

# it rains it's apt to pour:
And am rich on the barn floor,
I've plowed and moved this dear old farm,
Till not rod bu what 1 know;
I've kept the old folks snug and warm.
And lived without a twlnge of harm,
1 don't care how the storm might blow.
And on the same old farm I'll stay,
And raise my cattle and my corn;
Hero shall these hairs turn wholly gray;
These feet shall never learn to stray;
But will die where was born"
And farmer Joe pulled down his hat,
And stood upon his feet once more;
He would not argue after that;
But. like q born aristocrat,
Kept on his walk across the floor.

The Scientific American devotes con-
siderable space to the subject of light
ming rods. The question whether they
are really protection is answered in
the affirmative. But it insists that the
value of the rod depends mainly upon
its ground termination, The end ought
to terminate in layer of soil perma-
nently wet. And the end of the rod
ought also to expose to this soil as large
a surface as possible. Permanently

| laid down in the shafts and went to
sleep with smile on his face that was
perfectly child-like and bland.
