Ar long last Governor Hayes has writ
ten his letter, accepting the nomination O
the Cincinnati Convention for the Presi
dency. He endorses the Cincinnati plat
form, and sings the tune that the party has
recently learned "of reform" His prin
cipal points are upon the apl ointment o
officers, and that he will not accept ths
Presidency for the second term, In this he
is a little hasty, and had better wait to see
If he gets it the first time. But taken al.
together the letter makes some very fail

THE INDIAN WAR.

The present Indian war has been brought
about by the Republican administration,
BY its most shameful and criminal disre-
gard of a solemn treaty, whereby the region
in which Custer met bloody defeat and
death, was ceded to the Sioux and other
Indians, as reservation. sacred to them,
and not to be entered by any white man,
as an occupant in any way. This tract of
country was solemnly set apart for them,
and the faith of the people Of the United
States, by the seal of treaty, was pledged
to the contract.
The Indian ring at Washington which
embraced the Delsnos, Belknap, Babcock,
and many intimates Of the President, saw
rich plumber, if the BLACK Hill country
was opened. Geld was there. The In
dian chiefs, who ruled the tribes Of the
reservation, were invited to Washington
some time ago, and an effort was made to
eaiole them into surrender OF their rights

was then made TO buy their rights, a sum

country WAS in short time declared

under the license given. Our Government
became treaty breaker. The aggrieved
Indians, armed to resist the invasion Of the

our own laws in defence of their conduct !;

the United States, and unfortunately gave
a portion Of that army under Custer a

:
Hon. JAMES G. BLAINE has sent in his
resignation as member Of the House Of
Representatives, and his reasons are very
good. They are that the Governor Of
Maine has appointed him United States
Senator from Maine,to supply the place Of
Mr.. Morrsll, recently made Secretary Of
the Treasury. Blaine's health is repres-
ented as improving, and hs will soon ap-
pear in Washington. If the forty million
people that Blaine called on to witness his
innocence will NOT make him President,
the Governor of his State has made him
United States Senator, which is better than
nothing.

THERE is reason for alarm that the
defeat Of Custer may cause q detection
among these Indians who are now regarded
as friendly. Should they join with Sitting
Bull, the Indian war will assume very
dangerous proportions. The army requir-
ed to crush them out in an organized war
fare, would have to be very large, and
must force upon the country debt Of
millions. Another result of Republican
maladministratiOn.

Discovery Of Silver Mines In Estill.


Our wide awake correspondent at
Waco writes us as follows, under date of
Wednesday Estill County is ablaze with
excitement over the discovery of silver
ore in vast quantities on the farms of Nike
Willis, John Oldham, Jesse Cobb, and
Others Silver is lying around loose on
the ground, and imbedded in blue
limestone rock. A party from Ohio first
discovered the ore some weeks since, and
had it thoroughly tested at Cincinnati
last week. They say it will pay hand
somely to work it. A company from
Cleveland, Ohio, will commence opera
tions in a short time on Mike Wills's
farm. In the meantime the whole coun-
try is wild with excitement, and every
body prospecting. But, to cap the
climax, John Newman has discovered the
veritable Swift's mine on his farm.
While out surveying deep hollow filled
with dense underground, he discovered
the remains of an old furnace, and after
digging few feet he found ashes and
several Jumps of solid silver as large as
marble. There is no mistake about it.
We have seen several parties who actually
saw the silver. Newman found in a
cave near the furnace human skeleton,
we'll preserved, which is supposed to be
that of old man Swift. Newman is GER
tain that he has found Swift's mine, and
further excavations have developed a
large quantity of ore which seems to
have been ready to reduce to metal,
when the old man was pierced by an
Indian arrow. Tradition informs us
that Swift's mine is one hundred miles
from Cumberland Gap, and in deep
hollow; also that Swift never returned
after starting from the mine somewhere
after a fresh load of money. We know
of a good many men that have been
hunting Swift's mine all their lives.

How 10 Cure n Bad Memory.
lSt. Nicholas

Your memory is bad, perhaps; but I
worst memory. One is, to read subject
when strongly interested. The other is,
to not only to read, but think. When
you have read paragraph or page,
stop, close the book, and try to remem-
ber the ideas on that page, and not only
recall them vaguely in your mind, but
put them into words and speak them
out. Faithfully follow these two rules,
and you have the golden keys of knowl-
edge. Besides inattentive reading, there
are other things injurious to memory.
One is the habit of skimming over news
papers, items of news, smart remarks,
bits of information, political reflections,
fashion notes, all in confused jumble,
never to be thought of again, thus dill
gently cultivating habit of careless
reading, hard to break. Another is the
reading OF trashy novels. Nothing is so
fatal to reading with profit as the habit
of running through story after story,
and forgetting them as soon as read. |

lover of books, who sadly declares that
her mind has been ruined by such
reading.
A help to memory is repetition. Moth.

A Touching Incident.

loaded his shotgun. The fifty dollar
bill was bad one.

A Valuable Span Of Horses Stung to
Death.


A pair of horses valued at $400, be-
longing to DIR. Webb of Boonton, New
Jersey, were attacked by bees, few days
ago, and were so fearfully stung that
they died. The day was very warm and
the animals perspired profusely. On
passing by six or seven hives, it is sup

returned with long gloves on his hands
and his head covered with several folds
Of mosquito netting. He had to scrape
the bees from the horses with his hands,
and finally got the horses away, but sub
sequently they died. The rage of the
bees still continued, and ON the following
day they attacked their owners house,
and the family were compelled to yacate.

How They Make Pins.

A snappish, voracious little dwarf of a
machine pulls in the wire, bites it of by
inches necessarily, one hundred and forty
bites minute, and just as it seizes each
bite saucy little hammer with concave
face hits the end of the wire three taps
and "upsets" it to head while he grips
il in a countersunk hole between his
teeth and lays it sideways in q groove,
where levers and springs, playing like
lightning, point the pins, and whence
they are dropped into box. The pins
are then polished, and two very intelli.
gent machines reject every crooked pin.
Another automaton assorts half a dozen
lengths, and perfect genius of a ma.
chine hangs the pins by the heads and
transfers them to slips Of paper, and by
one movement sticks them all through
two corrugated ridges in the paper, when
the work is finished. The pin machine
is one of the nearest approaches to the
dexterity of the human hand that has
been invented. 1t is about the size of d
sewing machine, which IL closely re-
sembles.

A Clever Parody.

A journal published in Atchison,
Kansas, prints the following choice bit of
irony in view of the large number of
sudden acquisitions of wealth reported
in the newspapers of late:
A short time ago Melissa Elder was
heir to about 100000, amounting
to about $500, 100000 1t seems that her
great grcat-grandfather, on her mothers
side, who was Roman senator, had all
his property, which consisted of vast
amount of real estate in and around the
city of Rome, confscated to the Roman
Empire on account of his being con-
cerned with Marc Antony in the terrible
assault on the body of Caesar. Cesar's
wife was also accused at the same time,
but Marc Antony afterward said that
she was above suspicion, and nothing
was done in the matter. All the property
of Melissas great great-grandfather,
however, was cOnfiscated upon the testi-
mony of detective. The detective was
afterward taken with frenzied remorse
and wrote a full confession, moved to
Pompeii, and was living in that ill-fated
town when the sudden catastrophe
which befell it cut him down in the
prime of life. During the recent dis
coveries among the ruins of Pompeii,
this confession was discovered, and Miss
Elders great-great-grandfather was fully
vindicated. A Chicago lawyer, who was
travelling through Europe, heard of the
circumstances, and by aid of detectives
found in the person OF Melissa Elder the
only surviving heir of her lamented
great great-grandfather. The lawyer has
taken the prosecution of the case on a
contingent fee, and Melissa leaves for
Rome to take possession of that town.
Of course we tender our congratulations
$500, 100000 does not grow on bushes.

How 70 Learn to Swim.

Every boy should know how to swim,
and girls, too, for that matter. How
many tragedies would be avoided if
youth would but acquire the simple art
of learning how to swim! 1t has been
well said, man is the only animal that
loses himself in the water. We append
directions for acquiring the art of swim
ming, as furnished by correspondent of
the american AgricuitriSt: When l was
boy l learned to swim by means of a
swimming-board. This is the safest
method possible. If corks are used they
may slip from around the breast down
beneath the body, throwing the head
below the surface, and putting the
wearer in danger of being drowned.
Some country boys get two bladders and
then tie them together with a short cord,
and use them as supports. They are the
most dangerous things possible for boy
to have. The board is perfectly safe, and
one may learn to swim in very short
time by using one. 1t should be over
four feet long, over foot wide, and two
inches thick, made of soft white pine or
cedar.
To use it, boy wades into the
water up to his shoulders, then taking
hold of the end of the board, he
pushes it before him-toward the bank,
and not into deep water springs for
ward with his feet and throws himself
fiat upon the water. This movement
carries him along few feet. He then
draws up both his legs at the same time,
keeping the knees as far apart as possi-
BILE, and then strikes out with both feet,
not straight backward, but sideways,
just as frog does. The stroke is made
slowly, and is repeated again, drawing up
the legs slowly and steadily. When the
leg stroke has been learned, one hand is
taken from the board and the stroke
learned, or the chin may be rested while
the stroke is taken with both hands. This
is very good plan as it compels the
swimmer to keep his hands under water,
which he should always do. BY and by
the board may be pushed ahead, and the
young swimmer may swim after 1t, al
ways keeping it within reach. When a
number of boys go to swim, although
they may be good swimmers, they should
always have two or three of the boards
with them for use in case of any acci.
