followed MS steadily thus far, is now,
at 100 feet, pitching to the east. The
prospects fully warrant the belief
that we have mine even more valua-

VIC want is to hurry up our new

NEW THEoRY.-A citizen of this
town was trying to impress upon us
the other day the truth of a new
theory which has occupied his mind
for some time. He argued that
every animal, even man, partakes of
the nature of the food he is fed
upon. That is if man eats nothing
but beef he will become q very
tough" customer. Ii he is very
fond of such luxuries as eggs, egg
plant, etc., he will be inclined to
egg-agerate in all his stories. If he
eats fish of any kind he will become
a sort of a sardine, very scaly,
drinks great deal of water, always
nibbling around something and will
"hoJ *" whatever he can get his
hands on. If man is fond of pork,
or mutton, he i'll the first case
"swills" everything that comes in
his way; in the latter he will, be-
sides liking butter, "doe" many
things to draw the wool over your
weather" eye. So he goes on
through the whole animal kingdom.
In regard to vegetables he is even
more extravagant as he believes
that man who eats much corn will
always be full-half tipsy-as he is
walking distillery. Ii he likes
cabbage and turnips, although he
may become "cabbage-head," he
WILL invariably "turp-up' Jack
from the bottom when dealing; and
the boy who is fond of bread will
always be "well-bred," a rising"
young man. The fact is his theory
is so complicated that we have not
the space to give it in full. We
asked what he ate that made him
SO communicative; he looked at us
a minute, and muttered as he
walked off, You eat nothing but
crab-apples, you are so confounded
grabbed" and Start" We are yet
undecided as to what that fellow
lives on; from his last remark it GER
tainly isn't potatoes. as he is far
from being "mealy-mouthed." but
there is a bare possibility that he i,
very fond of pumpkins.

NJ. Duchemin proposes to substi'
tute tor the ordinary compass needle
two eccentric circles. connected by
a cross piece Of aluminium or other
metal. The maximum. Of magnet
isation start from the north and
south poles, and decreases to, the
central points, east and west.
Among the many compass devices
which have been brought forward Of
late, this Is said to be more sensitive
than the needle, to be less affected
by the rolling of the ship, and to be
much less sluggish than the liquid
compass. These advantages have,
it is stated, been adduced by careful
experiments.

INTERVENTION.

From late dispatches we are led to
believe that the war in Spain is just
drawing to close. Should this be
the case, that power will of course
admit of no delay in forwarding all
possible achievements to crush the
rebellion In Cuba,--a rebellion, If
you may SO term 1t, as noble in con-
ceptiOn, as just In execution, as was
that Of our forefathers. She will do
this, as the present condition of af
fairs between that country and the
United States is such that the least
trifie may plunge chem into a war
which will liberate the much. perse-
cuted people of the bleeding island.
Unfortunately for them the United
States has not pursued q policy
which has In the least offered them
any assistance in their righteous
struggle. Our boasted "mnral sup
port" Is much OF the character that
refuses Lazarus bread, or the Mag
dalen shelter. II our regard for the
advancement OF republicanism-
the love OF liDerty--is not sufficient
To cause protestation that will ben
eft them, regard for our CONNER
cial interests, and a glance at the ter
rible devastation which has been
systematically carried on by the
Spaniards may touch our pockets to
the extent Of a protest that will carry
with 1t more careful consideration
than Spain has yet given to US.
At the time Of the outbreak at
Yara in October, 1868, there were in
Cuba over $500 sugar estates, in q
high state of cultivation. Of this
number about $50 were situated in
the Eastern and Central Depart.
ments. Over q hundred were in the
jurisdiction of Puerto Principe and
Nuevitas. These plantationS--be-
tween 400 and 5OO-produced before
the war 49, 900 tons OF sugar. Now
not one of them remains. Tho es-
tates OF Santiago de Cuba and an ad
joining department numbered 100.
Hardly one now remains, and they
produced before the war $4,000 tons
of sugar. These were all devastated
by the Spaniards. Since the war
thirty-five estates situated in the
Villas Department, and others in a
department further west, have been
totally devastated, and yet before the
war they produced over $4,000 tons
of sugar. Here is loss at the least
calculation in one staple of $4,000
tons per annum. The losses in 9th
or articles of expectation are in pro-
portion. We think the useless de
struction of property, not to say Lru
tai butchery OF innocent women and
brave men, calls for some prompt,
energetic and humane action on the
part Of our Government.

rant us in Offering IL to You rs the BEST AND
MOST DURABLE FELTING now existing.
This Company is the oldest and most extern

the Asbestos Telting has proven to be more

Asbestos" in connection with any other felt
ing is an infringement. Itcontains the best non

to science. Asbestos is mineral long known
to chemistry as non infamsble and the most
positive retainer of heat in nature. Our pro-
cess consists In so preparing Asbestos with
other fibrous and glutinous matter as to form
a strong, elastic adhesive and indestructible
covering for steam pipes and boilers, which
we have fully demonstrated is pre-eminently
superior to any other covering now in use. It
is less expensive than Hair Felting and can
| be applied at any time while the boilers are in
use. One covering VIII last in perfect order
as long as the boilers or pipes. By absolute
test

CENT. IN FUEL.
II ia f,on-infiamsble, indestruetible and =
perfect non conductor Of heat and cold. Its
fexibility causes 1t to contract and expand
with the iron surface, thus preventing 1t
from cracking. As it absorbs no moisture
: and excludes the atmosphere the surface Of
boiler or pipe cannot corrode. 1t is applied
, in plastic state upon . hot surface with
facility and in Q few hours becomes dry,
lisht. elastic and tenaciously adhesive. 1t

We challenge the world to produce covering
to compete with ours in durability and saving
: of fuel. We possess the sole knowledge and
proprietorship Of this process. and would
caution all parties against worthless limitations
of our Asbestos Non-C Conductor, our unprece-
dented success having started several worth.

both. This country is but little

it would yield more silver than any
other section of the same size In the
world, excepting, probably the ground
covering the immense deposits OF the
Consolidated Virginia and California
mines.
Remember that two years ago lnyo
was almost strange name, and nine
out of ten men, if asked, would locate
it in Mexico or say they knew nothing
about it. Yet in one year, with two
small furnaces, it produced over two
| millions of silver, exclusive of the
lead. This is what the Cerro Gordo
District has done. Her future is
written with untold fortunes.
Cerro Gordo is situated about eight
miles east of Ovens Lake, on the
southern end Of the Inyo range, at ar
altitude of about 5000 feet above the
level of the sea. 1t was discovered
some years ago by some Mexicans
who located and worked in rude
way the ground afterwards bough
and now owned by Messrs. Beaudr!
& Belshaw, who with q small furnace
have developed their mine until nov
it is one of the best en- the coast.

the richest ore of that nature is foun'

The necessity of doing all we posi-
bly, can do to diminish the wide
spread dishonesty manifesling itself
in these times. leads us to make the
suggestion that it might be we'll for
every clergyman in the country to
preach a forcible, practical, and easily
understood sermon, every now and
then, from the text, "Thou shalt not
steal" No doubt the moral press is
doing something to bring about. in
the public mind, a realizing sense of
the wrongfulness and danger of all
sort of dishonesty; but its labors
should be energetically backed up by
the pulpit. We must try to set every
available agency at work for the adj.
vancemeDt OF public virtue. Not q
few of the men who have fallen into
habits OF stealing are church goers or
professors Of religion who claim to
have been converted. This shows
how necessary 1t is that the clergy
should preach frequently and strong
y on this subject.

In another portion of this issue
may be found a full report of the
proceedings Of the State Senatorial
Convention which met at Reed City,
Tuesday. Although the feeling
among delegates for their particular
candidate was quite deep, yet good
nature prevailed throughout, and
caused a veryplcasant and agreeable
surprise to many in attendance.
The nomination Of Judge Burch
we firmly believe good one, and
judging from the general feeling
cvinccd on Tuesday, we predict his
triumphant election. The people
of the District may safely rely upon
having in the future as in the past,
an able and honest man to represent
them, when Judge Burch is placed
in the Senatorial chair, and he should
and doubtless will have hearty
support at the polls.
