HOW WE MOURN THE Loss or A BROTHER
SIR Allow me small space in the
columns Of your most valuable paper, to
sag few words concerning our union 1t
is fourishing in most respects, but their
IL an error which must he attended to-
that is to obligate every man to attend the
funeral Of brother miner. Friday, April
9th. we mourned the loss of brother James
Paxton, lwho met with a sad accident which
proved fatal Men say that because il is
not district law that they do not need to
attend funerals. 1t appears that We must
he forced to do what we know is right.
The men, at some places, laid idle that day,
hut in many localities worked more or less
al day, and some quit at half day and
went home and stayed at home They
might Just as well have been at work
Our friend met his death in the works
known as McClelland's Mines" In re-
turning home from the funeral / met some
Of Masters men who had been working
all day, and they hung down their heads;
and well they might, because guilty con-
science condemned them The deceased
leaves a wife and four helpless little chill
dren. viii those men who pretend to be
so industrious give their earnings Of that
day to the bereaved widow Ifthey are so
industrious as they pretend to be they will
never feel the loss Of it. Let MS wait till
after pay day and then see who will lose
their workout not for funerals-but for
something to hasten their own, and then,
at the latter part Of the month, work like
slaves to make it up. | hope this will be
a warning to us miners Of Clay County.
and not let the farmers turn out and bury
our dead. If it had not been for the
farmers, it would have been very slight

District No. /, there were about one hun

An INGENIUs RUMsELLER.-The follow
ing is told by the Boston Journal: The
rigid enforcement of the ProhibitOry
law, adopted by some. Of the cities and
towns of this state, occasioned some re-
markable displays of inventive genius on
the part of the prosecuted liquor sellers,
and the State Constables sometimes meet
with great difficulty in searching for the
prescribed beverage. One in North
bridge the other day, after long search,
was about TO give it up, when, happening
to take out one of the shelves ina cup
board at the head Of thestairs, he beheld
the long-sought-for beer faucet pro-
iecting through the plastcriDg in such
manner rs to be entirely covered by the
shelf when in place. a wire ran through
the wall, which when pulled, opened the
cock and let out the beer. How the kcS
was put there is the next question, but
a search in the cellar revealed trap
in the floor, which, when removed,
opened the passage TO the beer keg.
From the beer keg a lead pipe ran
through the walls of the house to Il stair
way above. where i portion of the balus-
trade was arranged SO that it could be
easily taken out giving access to the end
of the pipe. A tunnel could be here in
serted and any kind ofliquor easily pass
cd through the pipes to the jugs, from
which it could be easily drawn into the
little cupboard.

DIVERSITY OUR INpUsTRY.-We arc ev-
cry day more and more impressed with
the fact that if our farmers would pros
per they must diversity their industry.
There vas meager show of sheep at To-
peka. Yet there is more money, ter
times over, in wool in Kansas than there
is in corn We are doing nothing almost
in hemp and tobacco, two crops out OF
which our Missouri neighbors arc max
ing great deal of money. The apple
and pear show demonstrated that IN those
fruits we may find a source of revenue.
There is great protitin cheese factories
in our State, if well conducted. Those
who are IN the business are doing well.

The EaPth'S Chimney.

And now comes DIR. Money, of Los
Angeles, and explains the warm ocean
currents TO his entire satisfaction. lie
has a map of the current and its con-
tributing forces, which he intends to send
to Washington. The Doctors theory is
that the earth is hollow and has chin
new passing through it from the North
to the South pole. The waters enter in
to this immense water pipe by way OF
the open Polar sea, and plunge through
the centre of the earth between the cen
trail fires. This keeps the fires within
proper bounds, and gives them salt to
feed on and receives matter in the pas
sage that keeps the stream from mixing
it with the ocean water. AT the South
pole it divides into two streams, one
taking the Atlantic and the other the
Pacific ocean back to the North pole.
So the communication with the central
fires OF earth is constantly maintained
and those fires fed and managed by
means of this system of water works
and thus the world is kept from getting
too hot or too cold by heaction Of its
own clements. DR.. Moneyis Scotch

The English are threatened with seri-
GUS trouble about ther fish supply. This
mainstay of the poorer classes seems TO
be failing, and less fish. in spite of all
the increased facilities for secureing
and transporting them, were delivered
in London last year than in the year ls4s.
The present form of compliant is against
the middlemen, who throw fish away
and sell il for manure whenspoiled rather
than supply the demand at low rate.

There is very peculiar formation
found in Colorado along the line Of the
Kansas Pacific Railway. Immediately
covering the vast coal beds, there exists
a vast bed of limonite ore. This would
indicate the formation of this deposit at
a very late geological age, as these coal
series are determined to be of very re-
cent date from the fossil remains every
where abundant in the measures.

aNoTHING IMPROPER IN IT. Blythe
by, that reminds us of n conundrum much
in vogue now in polite society in Wash
ington One of our most fashionable
bellies was giving it out the other night
to a circle of friends, when our accom-

drum, but in the proprieties.
"What is that, said the ady, (which
Luke had before, Paul had behind, that
girls have that boys do not, that Miss

fore she was married, and which, If you
wish to have both before and behind, you
must go to Liverpool"
As there was considerable giSgllnS and
a few bushes after this was given ont,
Mr. Stanton said /: L
"Why, ladies, there is nothing improp-
err in it. It's only the letter L."
"Who said there was anything i'm
proper in it," asked the young lady with
calm dignity, which made Edward Stan
ton with an l. wilt suddenly. As he isa

consequences were unpleasant.-Cdptfat.

A good story is told of Daniel Webster,
when once dining with a Boston merch-
ant. A dusty old bottle of wine had
been carefully decanted, and MIR. Web
ster's glass filed.
"How do you like it, Mr.. Webster
said the host, holding his glass up-to the
light. -,

"Now you can't guess what that cost
me, said the host.

a careful estimate the other day. When

that it cost me the sum ofjust one dollar

"Good gracious. you don't say So.
said Mr.. Webster; and then draining his
glass he hastily presented it again, with
the remark,
Gill up again as quick as you can, for
