There's Danger in the Town.

There John, hitch Dobbin to the post come near me and sit down. Your mother wants to talk to you before you drive to town. My hairs are gray, soon shall be at rest within the grave; Not long will mother pilot you OCT life's tenn pestuous wave. I've watched OCT you from infancy till now you are Q man, And have always loved you as a mother only can; At morning and at evening have prayed tho God of love To bless and guide my darling boy to the bright homo above. A mothers eye is searching, John, old age can dim It's sight, When watching OCT an only child to see if he does right And very lately have seen what has aroused my fears, And made my pillow hard at night, and moist ened it with tears. I've seen light within your eye, upon your cheek glow, That told me you were on the road that leads to shame and woe: o John don't turn your head away, and on my counsel frown, Stay more upon the dear old farm; there's danger in the town. Remember what the poet says-long years have proved it true That "Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do" If you live on in idleness, with those who love the bowl, You'll dig yourself drunkard's grave, and wreck your deathless soul. Your father, John, is growing old; his days are nearly through; Oh he has labored very hard to save the farm for you, But it will go to ruin soon and poverty will frown, you keep hitching Dobbin up to drive into the town. Your prospects for the future are very bright, my son Not many have your start in life when they are twenty-one; Your star that shines so brightly now in dark
 ness will decline, If you forget your mothers words, and tarry at the wine. Turn back, my boy, now in your youth; stay by the dear old farm; The Lord of Hosts will save you, with his pow
 erful right arm. Not long will mother pilot you OCT ife's tenn
 pestuous wave Then light her pathway with your love, down
 to the silent grave.

A Bows Wrongs.

A boy is sent on an errand, with the injunction to be as speedy as possible. On entering the store he finds clerks all busy with customers, and expects to wait his turn but, just as he is step ping up to make known his errand, a young lady sweeps in. For some reason or other young clerk does not see the boy, and immediately begins to deal out his civilities to said young lady. If the boy does not make a general starn- pede, tread on the poodle's tail, knock little children down, step on the lady's train, tearing 1t half of, he waits until the final, els there nothing more l can have the pleasure of showing you r Then the familiar What do you want, youngster ?" sounds on his ear. Per haps he mopes home, knowing he IS too late for supper.

SP1DERs.-The Peoria Qll.) Tran- script asks: "Did any of our readers ever experiment. with the requirements of spider If they haven't they have deprived themselves of much amuse- ment. One of the best ways to test @ spiders ability to get himself out of a scrape is to fill an ordinary wash-bowl with water, take stick and place it in the centre of the bowl, and reaching some little distance above the water, and then put a spider on top of the stick. We will wager almost anything that the insect gets himself away from his isolated quarters in less than ten minutes, if undisturbed, and he won't even wet his feet in the transit. Try it and see how it's done."

France and Her Debt.

France has paid the last installment of the enormous war indemnity to Ger many-5, ,O00, ,000,000 francs-and her territory is free. It was the 10th of May, 1871, when the Treaty was signed which provided for this indemnity. Within thirty days after French author ity was restored in Paris, the payment of 500, 100000 francs was stipulated. During the year 1871, n thousand mil lions more were required. May l, 1872, required another five hundred millions. The last 5000, ,O0o,000 francs remained payable May 2, 1874! Now, eight months before the debt is due, the whole debt is paid. France, fresh from wasting war, has gathered up from the hoarded wealth of her people this vast sum of $l,OOO, ,000, OO0-equal to half of the United States National Debt. She has done it within two years and Q quarter.

How to Manage a Horse.

A beautiful and high-spirited horse would never allow Q shoe to be put on his feet or any person to handle his feet. In an attempt to shoe such a horse recently, he resisted all efforts, kicked aside everything but on anvil, and came near killing himself against that, and finally was brought back to his stable unshod. This defect was just on the eve of consigning him to the plough, where he might work barefoot, when an officer in our service, lately re- turned from Mexico, took a cord about the size of @ common bedcord, put it in the mouth of the horse like a bit. and tied it tightly on the animals head, passing his left ear under the string, not painfully tight, but tight enough to keep the ear down and the cord in its place. This done, he patted the horse gently on the side of the head, and com manded him to follow; and instantly the horse obeyed, perfectly subdued, and as gentle and obedient as we'll trained dog; suffering his feet to be lifted with entire impunity, acting in all respects like an old stager. The gentleman who thus furnished this ex. ceedingly simple means of subduing 6 very dangerous propensity intimated that it is practiced in Mexico and South America in the management of wild horses

How Milk is Manipulated Tn Chicago.

This is the way the Chicago milkmen "fx" their lactial wares They skim the milk, taking from every twenty gal Ions from two to four quarts of cream, which they sell at the rate of one dollar per gallon. They then put about a tablespoonful of brown sugar in liquid form to every eight-gallon can of this skinned milk, and this restores the rich, creamy color to such an extent that the most experienced dairy-woman would be deceived. They also add a trifle of salt, which improves the taste, and the fluid is then ready for sale. All this on the authority of an indig- nant milkman, who contends that the public will not pay enough for pure milk, and goes on to expose the tricks of the trade.

We have nothing new to report in the
general aspect of affairs, either in min
ing or mercantile business circles. The
weather has continued, during the week,
unfavorable. The roads have not i'm
proved, but more teams are now ohtaina-
bic, owing to the recovery of horses and
mules from the epizootic, than at any
previous time for the last three weeks.
Still, the condition of the roads from
mines to mills is such that haulin, ia
cilities continue inadequate. and ore has
consequently continued to increase at
the dumps-in quantities, at some
mines. to embarrass operations. Few
men, however, have been dispensed with,
and developments below ground have
been but slightly interrupted. Again q
settled state of weather is indicated, but
in climate SO capricious in the winter
season hope is usually disappointed in
calculating on sky prognosties. When
the roads become dry and passable, and
the snow and mud disappear from the
grades leading up to the different mines,
we shall have a resumption of former
mining activity, and not before.
The mines OF Bristol, 20 miles north
of Phoebe, are at this time attracting
greater attention than ever before. The
reports from there are of an extremely
encouraging character, and large bull
lion production is expected from Bristo
IN the next few months. From four tt
SIX hundred miners, We are informed
will be engaged in and about those mine
when the working season fairly opens
large number are now engaged chop
ping wood and making coal pits, an
the smelters are rapidly approachin
completion, and will have, when the
are started, large amount of ore O.
which to commence operations. Til
village of National, in that district,
again rising to importance among tn
outside trading points, and daily stag
line between here and there is pre-
jected.
And also worthy of notice is the pr
sress being made in the development {
the Lodges around Highland, about seve
miles west Of Phoebe, and the lodges b
tween this point and that. Work on IL
new Mendha mill, at Highland, is beir
pushed with much energy, and va
quantities of rich ores are out awaitir
its completion.
With these important outside but tri
utary developments, taken in connectit
with the extended operations confer
plated in the Phoebe mines, we can cor
10 no other conclusion than that t
coming summer will be memorable +
bullion production and general busine
activity in this section OF Nevada.
The stages are again carrying out b
non with regularity, the shipments d,
ing the week aggregating about 1925, OF
out there are still immense amounts
hand.
IvANHOE.
we are gratified to know that VIC
Will soon be resumed in this promisi
mine. 1t has always been a mystery
us why operations were suspended in
i;,Vanhoe, and at the very time, too, Il
~ seemed returns were about to be re
,zed for the money invested. There
rev more promising mines in the 4
Mlct, and we expect, soon after devel'
ment begins again, to have something
interest concerning it for our readers.

WIDE WEST.

Little has been done in this mine the
past week, owing to the unfavorable state
of the weather; but work will be resumed
in the morning with full force, and con-
tinued without intermissicn. Everything
in and about the Wide West promises
successful development and good re-
turns.
MEADOW VALLEY.
Some difficulty has been experienced
in getting ore hauled to the mills, ana
there is tremendous quantity OF ore AT
the dumps, of all grades. Considerable
ore is brought to the surface daily.
Nothing new to report in the ore-breasts;
they maintain their average body ana
