The instruments made by this Company are well
known throughout the United States and Canada
and in most English settlements over the globe.
They are everywhere esteemed Superior to all in
Qualty Of Tone.
The Policy OF this Company is to use the best
materials without regard TO cost. Its employees,
especially those in leading positions, have been
familiar with the manufacture of reed instruments
from Che infancy of the business.
The Cases are solidly constructed, and this fact
contributes largely to the volume and resonance Of
Tone.
Every part Of the mechanism has beer subjected
to the most careful study and experiment, and the
manufacturers claim that they have succeeded in
producing the most satisfactory Harmony erer heard
from Reeds; while at the same time their Organs
have Herer been equd'oa in PoCer.

A Story for Young Men of No Ac-
count.

We would commend the following
true story to the young men who
are of no account, if we have any such
among our readers: There is a family
living not more than 20 miles from
Washington whose eldest son, %
wears old, taught i good school last
winter, ,. miles from home, made his
own fires, walked back and forth every
dav, and fed fifty cattle, night and
morning. Said cattle were sold III the
spring for over $4,000. With part of
this money an 50 acre farm and sever
al horses were bought, with Il fine bal
ance left This plucky young man
will. next winter teach Il four months
school at $40 per month, feed the
same number of cattle and assess his
township This season he and his
folks have cultivated 100 acres of
corn, which yielded well. This is an
example worth following, young men.
Anybody, having the health and the
will, can do likewise. Try it, reader,
and make yourself man. This ac-
count is given us by one OF our oldest
citizens, u friend ofthe family referred
to, who evidently believes that indus
try and enterprise are next to godli-
ness Washington { Zoaca) Press.

The Story OF Margaret Garner.

Cincinnati correspondence Washington Capital.
Just below Mill Creek, upon the
west side OF this city, stands 4 little
shabby frame house. In the year Of
grace 1853. one Simon Garner, with
his wife Margaret, having some vague
and inpious notions upon the subject
et' human liberty, evanesccd, as it
were, from Southern soil, and sought
the State Of Ohio, where the ordi-
nance of 1877 was supposed to have
cultivated the ''irreslstiblc genius Of
universal emancipation" They found
refuse in this little shabby frame
house. The United States Marshal
sounded the tocsin Of war, and at
night surrounded the humble habita-
ton with vast army, such rs ''belea
guered the walls OF Prague Simon
Garner thought he might rs well die
then and there, aud, with that Spar
tan pluck which once defended the
historic pass, he opened fire with
revolver upon his legion Of enemies.
In anybody else the soul he displayed
would have been recorded in song,
but, bless your soul, he was black,
black rs the ace Of spades. While
the husband and father in the front
room VAS trying to protect his chll-
dren from the hounds of the law, i'll
the back room fearful tragedy was
being enacted. Margaret Garner
heard the thunder Of the Captains
and the shouting&. She seized hers
children and cut their throats. One
was killed ON the spot, though she
failed as to the others in her murder
Gus purpose.
But it was vain to contend against
the DEGREES of fate, rs set forth III
the compromise measures" of 1850,
The fugitives were taken before the
United States authorities and remand
ed to slavery. Margaret Garner had
been indicted in this county for the
murder Of her child. OF course no
Jury here would ever have convicted
her, and had she been returned to
this State to answer that indictment,
it would have resulted in her free
dom. Her friends obtained from
Governor Chase, who was deeply in
terested in the matter, requsltlon
from the Governor Of Kentucky, and
she was to have been SO returned
10 cyade this rcquisitlon, her master
told her to go 'down South. Bound
and manaclcd, she was put upon a
steamboat. One dark night she was
observed to drag herself with difficult
ty TO the guards. A plunge was
heard. That was all.
She had sought her liberty, wan
dering through thorny paths, and
through much trial, tribulation and
suffering, but she had found it at
last. She had known the horrors of
the system amid whose influences she
always had lived, and, with a blind
faith in that which is to come, the
poor, torsaken, ignorant woman had
rather trust her soul with God than
her body with the creatures of slav-

An Underground Mountain OF Solid
Silver re-Insxkaust:ble Riches.
From the VIRGINIA City Enterprise.

From the Virginia City Enterprise.
The Consolidated Virginia Mining
Company are beginning to open up
and lay bare some Of the secrets Of
the northern end Of the great Com
stock lode They are reaching the
great lode on Il new and sound line,
and are finding continuous body Of
ore. This body is now known to eX-
tend from the Gould and Curry
through the Consolidated Virginia,
California and Ophir to the Union
Consolidated. The Consolidated
Virginia Company are on the upper
edge Of the great deposit lying under
the basin which is situated in the
eastern suburbs Of the city, and are
now beginning to reach some Of the
rich ore it contains. In the early
days many Of our miners were Of the
opinion that in the course Of time a
point in the lead would be reached
where would be found almost solid
silver. At the further depth Of four
or five hundred feet in the mine the
Consolidated Virginia Company may
reach q point where their ore will
lack but little Of being solid silver.
There appears to be lying far down
in this portion Of the lode n perfect
mountain Of silver ore. Specimens
brought up from the drift running
into the Consolidated from the fifteen
hundred foot level Of the Gould &
Curry are even now almost solid
masses Of silver. The reporter of
the Gold Hill Neacs, who visited the
newly opened section Of the Consoli-
dated Virginia mine day before yes
terday, gives the following account
of it:
''1'he drill, after reaching the Con
solidated Virginia south line, and
being connected with the fifteen
hundred foot level Of that mine by
an air winz, the Gould and Curry
| drift being thirty-cight feet lower
/ down than the south draft from the
Consolidated Virginia shaft, was
pushed directly ahead to prospect
the ore vein on the level. Hardly
had the line been crossed before the
draft encountered body Of rich sui
phuret ore, second to nothing Of the
kind mow known to exist on the
Constock lode. The drift has peno-
trated this body Of ore one hundred
and ten feet, with every indication Of
its extending the entire length Of the
claim, and even into the California
ground. 70 attempt fair descrip-
ton Of the rich character Of the ore
is almost useless, the sides and face
of the drift being one glittering mass
Of sulphurets, mixed with the richest
character Of chlordes. Much Of the
ore is being sacked, and a portion of
the amalganating department Of the
AIariposa mill is to be set apart for
It's reduction, its extreme richness
often requiring the use Of 800 and
GOO pounds Of quicksilver to 4 charge
for a single pan, where only 200
4 pounds is used in working the ordi-
nary class of ores. No cross cutting
Of this body has yet been attempted,
and all the air forced in by the com
4 prcssor is required to drive the Bur
leigh drills in the face Of the drift

displayed in the face, when 4 blast Of
half q dozen holes is discharged, is
simply grand, and one that would

Why the Butter Didn't Come.

They have new girl over at Key
ser's farm, just outside Of Newcastle,
and on Tuesday, before starting to
spend the day with q friend, Mrs.
keyscr instructed the girl to white
wash the Kitchen during her absence.
Upon returning Mrs. Keyser found
the job completed in the most salts
factory manner. On Wednesday
Mrs. Keyser always churns, and last
Wednesday, when she was ready she
went out, and, finding that Mr.. Key
ser had already put the milk into the
chUn, SHE began turning the handle.
This was at O'Clock in the morning
and she turned until 10 without any
signs Of butter appearing Then she
called III the hired man and he turned
until dinner time, when he Knocked
off with some very offensive language
addressed to the butter which had
not yet come. After dinner the
hired girl took hold of the crank and
turned it energetically until o'clock
when she let 90 with a remark which
conveyed the impression that she be
! lieved the chuIn to be haunted Then
Mr.. kcyser came out and said he
wanted to know ~hat was the matter
with that churn, anyhow. 1t was Il
good enough churn, if people only
knew enough to work it. Mr. Key
ser then turned the crank until $3.50
O'Clock, when, as the butter had not
yet come, he surrendered 1t again to
the hired man, because he had an en-
cement with man in the village
The man ground the machine to an
accompaniment Of fi'iohtful impreca-
tions. Then the Kevser children
each took turn for half an hour,
then Mrs. Keyscr tried her hand again
and when she was exhausted, enlisted
the hired girl for second trial, who
sad her prayers while she turned
/ But the butter didn't come When
keyser came home and found the
ehurn still in action, he blasted his
eyes and did some other innocent
\ swearing, then he seized the handle
and said he'd make the butter come
1 if he kicked up an earthquake in do
ing it. Mr.. keyser effected about
200 revolutions of the crank min
ute, enough to have made any ordi-
nary butter come from the ends of
the earth; and, when the perspiration
began to stream from him, and still
the butter didn't come, he uttered one
yell Of rage and disappointment, and
kicked the churn over the fence
When Mrs. keyser went to pick it
up, she put her nose down close to
the buttcrmilk and took a sniff.
Then she understood how it was.
The girl had mixed the whitewash in
the churn and left it there. \ good,
honest and intelligent servant girl,
who knows how to churn, can find a
situation at keyser's. There is va
cancy--Uur -1delr.

The police sergeants are never
hasty about expressing their opinion
and the one in charge of the station
looked at the woman and didn't even
nod his head for her to go on. The
woman took Il chair, or nearly two
chairs, putfed away like a hack horse

A Strange Dream Fulfilled.

Rev. l.. W. Lewis, i'll his ''Reminis-
cences Of the war;" published in the
1erus Christian -idrocute, relates
the annexed remarkable instance as
literally true. The battle referred to
was that of Prairie Grove, in North
west Arkansas, fought December 7,
1862:
A curious fulflmcnt Of dream
occurred at the battle under my own
eyes. A man by the name Of Joe
Williams had told a dream to many
of his fellow soldiers, some Of whom
had related it to me months previous
to the occurrence which now relate:
He dreamed that we crossed a
river, marched over a mountain,
camped near church located in 4
wood, near which Il terrible battle en-
sued, and in a charge justas we cross
ed the ravine he was shot i'll the breast
''On the ever memorable 9th Of De
cember, 1862, as we moved at Il
double-quick to take our place in the
line of battle, then already hotly en-
gagged, we passed Prairie Grove
Church, small frame building be

terians. I was riding in the flank of
the command, and opposite to Will
Jams as we came in view of the house"

ply, and never thought of the matter
again until in the evening. We had
broken the enemy's line, and were in
full pursuit, when We came upon Il
dry ravine in the wood, and Will
iams said: '.Just OH the other side Of
the hollow | was shot in my dream,
and I will stick my hat under my
shirt" Suiting the action to the
word as he ran along, he doubled it up
and GRAINED it in his bosom. Scar
cely had he adjusted it before a min
ME pail knocked him out of line.
Jumping up quickly he pulled out
his hat, waved it over his head and
shouted: "Fm all right" The ball
raised black spot about the size of n
mars hand just over his heart and
dropped into his shoe.

With little blush and little smilc
With little blush that comes and goes
: What if picture now with care
A tete-a-t tcte and an easy chair!-
What if make the picture clear
by lighting it up with chandelier?
Can you see by the softly shimmering fame
Can you see to read the musical name
OF him who sits in graceful state
On the little damask tete-a-tete?
Can you see me sitting before me there,
Sitting within the easy chair?
Can you hear the laugh. can you hear the jest,
The musical laugh of my handsome guest!
: IS it unwise to paint the view
In colors so warm-and light il too!
viii somebody claim the the graceful state
On the little damask tetc-a-tetc?
How many may lose by claiming that!
For many handsome guest has sat
Beneath the shimmering chandelier,
While the easy chair was standin. near.
How many may lose, how many win!
All, vanity is a costly sin!
For the one | mean will never suppose
That for him the wind of mercy blows.
Then what if | think of you once in while,
With little blush and little smile:
With little blush that comes and goes
As the sweet sweet wind of memory blows:"
