PlttsburHherx In Montana.

Richardson in his book 'Beyond the Mis-
sissippi," describes the 'placer" mines of
Montana as likely to prove the richest in their
yield of gold yet discovered in America, or
elsewhere, for that matter. Acting on this
hint, some Pittsburgh Capitalists have pur-
chased the celebrated French Bar Placer
Mine," situated on the Missouri river, one
hundred and eighty miles above Fort Benton,
and sixteen miles from Helena in the Terri
tory of Montana. Their purpose is to start
Immediately in the further development of
this rich ''placer," and they have our best
wishes for their success. The company have
made very wise and judicious selection of
financial agent in Major J. F. Denniston,
our late County Treasurer, well known to
this community as all able financier, as we'll
as brave soldier and gentleman of strict in
tegrity, and indexible energy and courage.
The Ma jor takes with him the kindest wishes
of his numerous friends in Pittsburgh, and
their warm hopes for his success in his new
enterprise in the western wilds of Montana.
His experience in that country during his
trans-contincntal trip last summer, will be of
use to him in the management of the French
Bar Mine, and let us hope his efforts in the
future, like those of the past, will be crowned
with success. -PHts6urgA Gazette, May 13.

The Injury of Excessive Rest in Cere-
Dral Exhaustion.

am disposed to think that rest from head
work may be too much insisted upon in cere-
bral exhaustion and in other cases of the kind.
Often and often | have met patients with
jaded brains who have certainly let their
minds lie fallow too long. More than one
overworked barrister, who could scarcely
drag on until the long vacation, has com
planned to me that this vacation was TOO long
and that it would have been better for him
if he had returned to his own work sooner,
or if he had changed his work. Mere dis
traction, even travel, is not enough. Weeds
will grow apace under such circumstances :;
and soon, very soon, the difficulty is to get
the mind under cultivation again. What is
wanted generally, even at the beginning, is,
not that work should be given up altogether,
even for short time, but that it should be
moderated in amount or changed. 1t is
given to few to initiate the example of our
present Premier, who when thoroughly over
wrought at the end of the session, recruited
himself by spending a great part of his holi-
day in writing Juventus Mundi; but the fact
is full of significance in the present place.
Indeed, the longer live the more am con-
vinced that it is a grave mistake to let the
mind lie fallow. even for short time, not
only in the particular case under cOnsidera-
have to he dealt within epilepsy, for cxrm-
pie, no less than in cerebral exhaustion. In
epilepsy, indeed, l have long maintained that
it is the very gravest blunder in practice to
suspend education-that the very basis of
successful treatment is only to be laid in edu-
cation. In the case of an epilcptic child,
should be altogether hopeless of arriving at
a satisfactory result except by building the
plan of treatment upon this foundation, and
the same feeling would influence me con-
siderably, even in the case of an adult suf-
fering from cerebral disorder, let this dis
order be what it may, if one way and an
other l could not keep his mind from prey
ing upon itself by providing him with some
proper occupation. Of course this notion
may be carried too far Undoubtedly harm,
much harm, may be done by pressing the
necessity for work too strongly; but, practi-
cally, this danger will prove to be small in
comparison to that of letting the mind lie
fallow.-RadchDe

Emperor William and the School Chill
Orens

The Curt Journal prints this: 'Thc
German Emperor, while visiting village in
his land, was welcomed by the school chill
dren of the place. After their speaker had
made speach for them he thanked them.
Then, taking an orange from plate, he
said: TO what kingdom docs this belongy'
TO the vegetable kingdom, sire, replied the
girl. The Emperor took gold coin from
his pocket and holding it up, asked, And
to what kingdom does this belong To the
mineral kingdom, SIRE replied the little girl:
And to what kingdom do | belong then?'
asked the Emperor. The little girl colored
deeply, for she did not like to say the animal
kingdom, as he thought she would, lest his
majesty should be offended, when bright
thoaght came, and she said with radient eyes,
TO Gods kingdom, sire The Emperor was
deeply moved. A tear stood in his eye He
placed his hand on the childs head and said,
most dcvoutly, God grant that may be ac-
counted worthy of that kingdom.

Alps Well That Ends Well.

Saturday evening, says the Sacra-
mento Union, a gentleman In the en-
ploy of the Central Pacific Railroad
Company drove out to a place about
fifteen miles from the city, where his
family are stopping, and soon afterward
started on his return to town. Before
starting he lighted his meerschaum and
indulged in long and pleasant smoke
as he drove along. This over, he placed
the pipe in the outer breast pocket of
his coat, and paid no more attention to
it. By and by a peculiar smell greeted
his olfactories-a smell of burning wool
en- cloth-and, as it increased, he began
to look about to see if his garments
were on fire, and at the first movement
he found that the whole pocket had
burned out of his coat, and the fire was
spreading rapidly. He grabbed at the
burning material hastily, but was so
nervous about it that he frightened the
horse, and the animal ran. To make
matters worse, the lines were not
buckled together, and one slipped out
of his grasp while he was endeavoring
to smother the fire with his other hand.
Still worse, the increased speed increas-
ed the breeze, which famed the fire,
and portions of it dropped down upon
his pants, burning through them, and
causing him to bounce up and down on
the seat as though he were trying to
settle an unusually hearty meal ! And
there he was horse running away, line
dragging, and fire rapidly making the
cuticle of his leg rival the hue of his
red-fannel underclothing At last by
dent of dexterous clawing he managed
to smother the fire, then stepped out on
the shafts and recovered the line, and
in course of time subdued the horse.
Exceedingly thankful to get out of his
trouble without broken bones, he rode
on to the city in a subdued frame of
mind, and never thought of being pro-
fame until, just as he was quietly slip
ping into clothing-store with the
buffalo robe gathered about him to con-
ceal the deficiency of his wardrobe, he
met full in the face two lady friends,
who insisted upon his escorting them
home, and wanted to know what in the
world he had got himself wrapped up
that way for?

WHOLE NUMBER 333
Gen. Sherman.

The General of our army, whose sal
ary is $13, ZOO a year, came among us
three days, and we shook off bureau re-
straint and conventionality, and ex-
changed opinions freely.
Sherman Is pure, frank type of man,
who will have and hold his own. He
substitutes for mere imagination
charming and surprising. In thirty
minutes he will say so many new,
pithy, innocent things of depth that
you begin to feel that your man has
just come into the world seeking after
truth, and does not know what anybody
had said previously on the same sub
jects. This quality of irst-sight never
grows vagarious and lapses into the
mere verbosity of a professional
talker-one of those elbow-chair fellows
who sentimentalize, talk a straight
rhapsody sprinklcd with inconsequential
anecdote, and kill time and thought like
masculine Dorcas Society. Sherman
says much in little, with vistas of 81
you see, small and suggestive, on the
water-line. Not dogmatic, but little
given to qualifying anything he is sure
of, there is yet cool, soldiers materi
alism about him which is contented with
a fact, and leaves the reason for it to
somebody else.
"The French are not military peo-
ple," he said &c they may have been at
some day, but the spirit is not there
now. They live in simple way in
their little villages, and try to avoid the
CONSUMPTION" How palpable, and yet
previously unsaid, is this remark
Again, Sherman remarked: I" I think
city and county corporations, and their
abuses, are more dangerous than the
railroad corporations. The one is a
long line the other is the whole area.
Every town of any proportions in
America is bonded away by the least
responsible people in it, and taxation is
rismg around us like freshet. Stop
these local politicians from selling good
citizens out; that's where competition
begins and ends' At another time he
alluded to Washington City life, and
expressed the sentiment that he was not
wholly satisfied with it all. There were
a set of bureau-officers there who were
tenacious of their places, and perpetu-
ally and annoyingly apprehensive of be-
ing transferred to some other points of
duty. "I prefer the West" said the
General, tand think my California ex-
perience was the healthiest and most
useful L ever had" He further said he
had formed no very high estimate of the
destinies of Europe had little or no de-
sire to return there, and had never been
tired but once in his life, when he
ascended Vesuvius and returned the
same eafternoon.-SeaS5de Letter.
