Wonderful Discovery or Silver I'm

Wonderful Discovery or Silver In
West virginia.
From the Gallipolis Bulletin.
More than a year ago. Mr.. Henry
Pike, of New York City, took severa.
specimens of ore from the lands he now
owns in Putnam County West Virgins
to New York and left them lying in biz
Office. The samples were quarried by
Mr.. Pike, and taken by him as speci.
mems of "black band" iron ore, and
considered rich. After being 10 his Of
fee for some time Mr.. Pixies brother
the late S. N. Pike, happened to come
in, and seeing the ore lying on the floor
examined it. He at once said, This
is silver ore, and closely resembles speci
mems OF ores from silver mines i'll Utah
in which Iarn interested" He advised
that the ore be subjected to assay, that
the truth OF his assertion might be
tested.
Mr.. Henry Pike tLereupon placed
one Of the samples in the hands O
Messrs. Dederick, Sears & Co, Is Maid

responsible firms in the country devo'

For the purpose OF more thoroughly
testing the matter, Mr.. Pike TOOK anoth

the 25th OF April, 1873, received
report stating that the sample "upol

We congratulate Mr.. Pike upon hi
good fortune, and trust that the COLDER

him for the efforts he is making TO de

The lands OF Mr.. Pike are within
twenty miles OF Gallipolis, by river, an
hence this discovery is Of direct interee

THE MUNICIPAL COURT.

The attention Of the City Council Is
invited to the communication OF q
Taxpayer" in relation to the NUM-
cipal Court, which is published thi.
morning.
1t is urged that great injustice would
be done to litigants whose cases are now
pending in that court, if the court were
either summarily abolished or il the
salary Of: the Judge should be cut
down TO such q figure as to prevent the
acceptance of the place by any compe-
tent man. 1t seems to Us that there is
in this something worthy of considera-
ton. The suits now pending in that
court were brought during the lifetime
of the late Judge Coon. Some
Of them involve large amounts oil
money and the interests OF the
parties are being prejudiced by delay
They cannot he transferred TO the
County Court or to the Circuit Cour. in
the absence of the legislation necessary
for that purpose, and this legislation
cannot be had until the Legislature as
sembles next fall. In view OF these
facts, it seems no more than just that q
competent Judge should be elected to
bring to determination at once the
cases now pending in the Municipal
Cont, leaving until some future time
the settlement of the question as TO
the policy..of continuing the existenc
of the court. After the business now
upon the docket has been disposed o:
this tribunal may be either abolished
or crippled,o maintained. as may seem
best, without the danger Of doing ln-
Justice to any innocent parties.
This view OF the matter is commend
ed to the attention Of the members OF
Council at their meeting tonight. II
seems to us that it affords sufficient
reason for refraining for the present
from any action looking to the imme7
diate discontinuance OF the civil Juris-
diction OF the court, or reducing the
salary OF the Judge below TIE sum
heretofore fixed.
Concerning the propriety of the ulti-
mate continuance or abolition OF tle
Municipal Court in its present form
and with its present Jurisdiction, We
express no opinion at this time. A
large majority of the members of the
bar desire its continuance; while, since
the County Court has been established,
the tax payers generally fail to see the
necessity OF maintaining two courts OF
limited and almost concurrent Juris-
diction in this city. The question is one
for future consideration and discussion,
but we think our correspondent. this
morning, shows very clearly that moths
ing should be done by the Council at
present to interfere with the efficiency
az the Municipal Court.

isConsumption is twofold disease, one af.
fecting the parenchyma, or substance OF
the Lungs, and the other the mucus MEM
hranes that line the air passages and cells.
Sometimes these occur separately, but are
usually united in genuine Consumption.
The tubercular deposit can only be reached
through the general circulation and 10
pTeuet this deposit, or re1n0re IL by ABSORPTION
when found, we must employ those agents
which exert an Alternative and healing eff
feet on the Lungs.
For the affection OF the mucus membrane
Medicated Inhalation may be employed
with the best results. This mode OF treat.
ment brings the medicine in dil ect contact
with the disease, and when an appropriate
remedy has been selected the irritation, IN
fiamation, and liberation may not only be
modified and soothed, but ultimately en-
tirely Slt6dued.
There is then in complete and success
full treatment an absolute necessity for COM
bining appropriate remedies addressed to
the general constitution with the inhalation
and other mechanical means.
In all cases Of asthma, simple bronchitis,
laryngiting, tracheaitis, even when the in
flammation extends 10 the mucus men,
branes lining the air cells, whether chronic
or acute, Medicated Inhalation with gene
raj treatment may be resorted TO with the
hope ofdecided benefit.
The uninformcd are liable to be missed
and injured by this mode of treatment. II
diseases OF the Lungs were merely a local
affection, not involving or resulting from
constitutional disturbance, an attempt TO
cure it by local applications would be more
rational and much more successful than II
now Is.
But consumption, asthma, oronchltif, &C,
are not mere local affections, like most
other arrangements OF the vital forces,
they have their origin in a morbid condi-
ton OF the general system, and can only be
successfully encountered bv the use OF
agents which restore the dlsordered func-
lions to their normal condition. While
this Is being done the inhalation Of r. edi-
Gated vapors may in some cases be OF much
assistance.
Both reason and experience teach US that

vert valuable feature OF a successful prac-
tice into q source of iucalculable mischief.

HOW OAHES IANES LOOKS.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York San draws the following pen
portrait of cold Mobilier:"
Ames is the most cheerful looking per-
son of the whole sorry lot. l see the
SIN calls him that "great and good
man. Great he certainly is. He is
the most ponderous member of either
House. He stands about six feet three
inches, and weighs well on toward 300.
He has immense arms and feet, and his
long jaws and stupendous nose constitute
by far the greater part of his person
above the broad, round, STOPPING shoul-
ders. He is pointed out a hundred times
from the galleries every day as Old Mo-
bilier. 1t was an amusing spectacle to
see him recently with his great feet rest
ing on the arms of a neighboring chair,
looking over, in his heavy way, the
famous memoranda" wherewith he was
going to corner and crush those who had
taken his stock and moneys, and then
repudiated them while in remote cor
ners of the hall some of his victims
could be seen nervously watching his
aged eye and bobbing about like birds
under the charms of a serpent.

THEY DRANK VA TER.

Man is, strangely enough, but rarely
content to enjoy the rich gifts of nature
in their first simple garb. He adapts it
to climate and occupation; he fashions
it after his taste and makes it subservient
to other enioyments. Even the natives
of Kamtschatka, who, when first discov-
cred by Russian sailors, were probably
the only nation on earth that had no other
beverage but water, enjoying it after a
manner not found in civilized countries.
They commenced to drink it even before
eating, taking nearly two quarts before
their first meal; so they continued dur
ing the day, and, when night came, their
last labor was to place huge vessel of
water by their bedside, and to fill it
brimful with snow and ice. Next morn
ing the bucket was empty. The Lapp
and the Greenlanders, on the other hand,
prefer it warm. Both nations keep n
large copper kettle, or, where such luxu-
ries are still unknown, ponderous yes
sci of wood, adorned with bone knobs
and hoops, constantly boiling. A7arge,
well-carved spoon is ever ready, and
from morn till night the thirsty natives
are drinking the nauseous liquid.

WONDERFUL.

Although the eyes of some animals
are incapable of motion-as the fly, the
beetle, and several other insects-yet the
Creator has shown His wisdom and
goodness in furnishing their eyes with
thousands of little globules, and by
placing their eyes more in front of their
head, so that these little insects can see
almost all around them without turning
their heads. A gentleman who has ex-
amined the eyes of fly says that the
two eyes of common one are composed
of 5000 little globes, through every one
of which it is capable of forming an i'm
age of an object. Having prepared the
eye of a fly for the purpose, he placed it
before his microscope, and then looked
through both in the manner of tele-
scope, at a steeple which was 800 feet
high and $50 feet distant, and he said he
could plainly see through every little
hemisphere, the whole steeple inverted
or turned upside down.

4 STA RIP FOI.

The Sporting Gascttc, of England,
tells the following story: During the
last club hunting season of the Badmin-
ton hounds, Mr.. Charles Minett, of
Chalkley Farm, in the parish of Horton,
Gloucestershire, was called out of bed
very early on the morning of the 7th of
October by his cowman to see a fox
sucking COW. On his reaching the
spot the COW was lying down and the fox
gone but the two upper quarters of her
udder, the only ones getatable from her
position, were empty, and the teats wet,
rs if calf had sucked her. 1t appears
that the cow, when there is much keep
and grass, does not retain her milk well.
AS it had trickled down the hill the fox
first Tapped it, and then traced it to its
source. The constantly watched,
subsequently, and the fox frequently
seen to suck her. SO constant was he at
one time that Mr.. Minctt shut up the
COW, and preserved her milk, when the
fox turned his attention to some of the
other cows, who, however, would not
stalhAit."

She looked up proudly and bravely.
"And I, Herbert Wentworth, cared
for none but you in the wide world. And
ah! when rushed away to destroy your

"Bnt, Aimee, think we'll before you

Herbert, you are not old you never

She could say no more, for his kisses
closed her lips.
And now, when they speak of the old
days of their brief courtship, Herbert
will sometimes add
Remember, little wife, I did not
coax you.
But Aimee only laughs as she replies
"Ah, yes! it was too bad. 1 was
compelled to do the coaxing."
But Aimee Wentworth never regretted
her choice, and happier couple does
not exist in all this fair, broad land.

RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

The Raihoad Gazette gives an inter-
esting list of accidents on the various
lines of railroad for December and a
total of casualties for the year. After
detailing the accidents the Gazette says;
Here we have total of 112 accidents
to trains occurring during the month, Is
of which caused death, and % other in
juries to persons. Therefore 6S of the
whole number, or about three-fifths,
caused injury to property only. The
total number killed by train accidents
during the month was AZ, and the total
number injured 1873. The accidents may
be classified as to their nature and
causes as follows:

THE TERM "CARP ET-B4GGER."


Many of the best Southern men in the
Southern States, says the New Orleans
Picayunc, are Northern men-men born
in New England, in Massachusetts.
Many Northern men have come to the
South, before and since the war, to do
business and to find homes. And those
who come with such views, respectable
and well-behaved, will seldom fail to be
appreciated, and to receive the welcome
and the position to which they are en-
titled. The people of the South are de-
sirous of having as many settlers as pos
sible of this description. Men of this
character are not carpet-baggers, how
ever small their luggage or empty their
purses. They are desirable element.
The term carpet-bagger is applicable
to the needy demagogue whose stock in
trade consists of the number of colored
voters he can persuade that the Southern
white men are their relentless enemies
and oppressors, and whose political
status and personal fortunes depend
upon his success in banding them upon
the basis of injurious falsehoods, to use
for his own official honor, profit and
plunder, under the semblance OF legal
forms and backed by the bayonets OF the
United States. These birds of passage
we have no use for.

And far away that bark in glee
Was DER the bright deep straying,
While all around the dimpling sea
with zcphyrs soft were playing.
And OH twas sweet, around that child
To rec the ripples dancing;
And DER its brow, so soft and mild,
The sunbeams brightly glaucing.
And oh! wished that naught might break
The angc!-spell that bound it,
Or from it's dreams the spirit wake,
That play'd so soft around it.
But when far off upon the sky,

For that unconscious flower.

Was DER the bllows sweeping;
And still within, as fair and bright,

PERSIAN JUSTICE.

A refreshing illustration of Oriental
justice has just been witnessed in Persia.
Tamasp Mira, Governor of the Province
of Hamadan, finding that the people
were starving in the midst of compare
tive plenty, set about to discover the
cause and the chief delinquents, and
having secured his proofs invited the
chief Cazi to visit him. At the inter-
view he thus addressed the interpreter
of the law "Cazi, what does the re-
ligious law lay down respecting the pun
ishment of those who continue to hoard
grain while true believers are starving?"
"Such crime," replied the Cazi, "de-
serves death" "Thou hast said it,
exclaimed the Governor, and summoning
the executioner the Cazi's law was forth
with put in force against him. The
next day the bread fell to six shahis the
batman, at which price it has continued
ever since.
