Phoebe Mines.

Tho Record OF tho 10Th inst, has q
lsng and carefully written account Of
the mines In that section. We clip
tho following from Its Introductory
remarks, not having space to publish
It's resume:
Affairs during the past week have
not changed greatly, but what littlo
,b.y have varied has been for the bet
ter. The appearance OF all our prln-
cipal mines during the week last ex-
pired has been encouraging, and the
friend, Of Phoebe will have to walt q
very little longer until their confidence
Is rewarded by n substantial return.
Our mines have always been SELF
sustaining II they had not been they
never would have been heard OF.
Phoebe mines have been worked by the
proceeds Of Pieche claims. IL they
had not afforded this substantial claim
on the shareholders OF Its companies.
Phoebe would scarcely have been heard
of, But the fact Is. the contrary has
been the case, and Phoebe mines have
always returned q substantial profit TO
those that Invested their money In the
mining enterprises Of this region.
During the last few days the mines OF
tbs Highland-late the Mendha Con-
solldated Company, have presented
seine very favorable Developments.
The same may be said Of other claims
nearer home, right In the center Of
Phoebe. Tho Washington Il Creole
looks well. also the Raymond Il Ely
and we can tell the faint hearted
croakers that have no belief In the
value OF our mines, and In the future
prosperity Of Phoebe, that they can
leave Us to our fate; we can do with
out them. But to those, who as Ma
cauley says In his famous battle hymn
Of the League. were constant In our
ill.," wa say "be joyful In our joy"
and the day Is not far oil, as well rs
We arc able to conjecture, for that
period OF rejoicing.

originated frem the steve which had
been removed during the day and re-
placed about an hour previous to the

It will DO Endorsed BY the West as we'll

that the former favors imitation Is
false. The Erening Journal Is enthu-
sisstic Q the veto. The Iater-Oeedn,
on the contrary, thinks that the Prs'l-
dent made q grave mistake and In
Inmates that he yielded to the pressure
of Eastern Lobbyists. In Europe the
reception Of the news Of tho veto has
been most flattering. The London
Post says that President Grant has

serves the applause OF the natisn rs

Herald special from London says
"Ths unanimous opinion OF financier'
Ia that Grants veto Of the Finance
bill will prove beneficial to American
credit, and prominent bankers, brokers'
builders, dealers and tho largest In

ports a similar reception OF the veto

in your review of Mr. Farrar's Life
of Chris" "ofspecial pleading might
be given We're it needful on the pre-

ALCOHOL AS A REMEDY FOR
BURNS.-Alcohol, recommended by
Sydenham, has lately been employ
ed by Leviseur, particularly with
children, as the most rapid and
effective means of alleviating the
pain of burns. The affected part is
either simply covered loosely with
an alcoholic compress, or is bathed
with alcohol, when the pain instant
ly disappears, but returns again
when the application ceases. 1t
must therefore be continued tor one
or two hours, and then be repeated
at longer intervals, until the reddeu-
ed epidermis is bleached and shriy-
eled, or until any blisters that may
have formed have opened and dis
charged, which will take place in
from six to twelve hours. Care
must be taken, especially where the
surface to be treated is large, that
the vapor of the alcohol does not
affect the patient.

come up to night you'd step into
your druggists and get me "a bottle
of Plantation Bitters. Be sure and
get the genuine. Charley-What in
the world, Mary, are you going to
do with the Plantation Bitters ?
Wife-Everybody that 1 know is in
ecstacv over Plantation Bitters, and
l am going to try them myself. l
am assured by several of my friends
that the Bitters will cure my dys-
pepsia, and at the same time do
away with that terrible nausea which
you know am at times subject to.
The above appears in the papers
as an advertisement. Kow the
probability is that the nausea was
not caused by anything that Young
Wife ate, and that to take bitters
would be to add nauseum. If let
alone few months, the real cause
would likely be apparent - OF
Charley would.-Forbes.

THE distinguished Prof. Huxley
believes that nine-tenths of the al
legged physical disabilities of women
are the products of their mode of life,
and that nothing would tend so eff
fectually to get rid of these creations
of idleness, weariness, and that SOW
er stimulation of the emotions
which in palmer spoken days used
to be called wantonnesS, as a fair
share of healthy work, directed to-
ward definite object, combined
with an equally fair share of healthy
play, during the years of adele
scence; and he adds that those who
are best acquainted with the acquire
ments of an average medical practi-
toner will find it hardest to believe
that the attempt to reach that stand
ard is likely to prove exhausting TO
an ordinarily intelligent and well
educated young woman.
