How a Pauper Became a
Millionaire.

Sally Mike vas a pauper in
the Burke county poor-hOuse and
a professional Pipe-maker. One
day in searching for clay she for
tunately discovered a pit of white
earth particularly adapted to the
pipes, and many people that have
tried them prefer them to the gen.
uine meerschaum. Such was the
demand for the pipes that Sally
found it necessary to employ ad-
ditional force to meet it. During
the war her sales amounted to $780,
900; since the war the fame of the
Sally Mike pipe has extended far
and wide. A large shipment was
made TO the Vienna Exhibition.-
The Khedive of Egypt aud the
Sultan of Turkey have been hon.
ored with present each, and both
these dignitaries smoke the Sally
Mike pipes today. A company
in Morgantown has purchased the
right of Sally to use the clay, and
thousands of the pipes with the
mountain Jet stem are shipped
from that point daily. = WiEsosa

gIleieRestrg,
THE TWO WORKERS.

Two workers in one field
Toiled on from day to day:
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay.
With the same blue sky above.
The same green earth below,
One soul was full of love,
The other full of woe.
One leaped up with the light,
With the soaring of the lark;
One felt it never night,
For his soul was ever dark.
One heart was hard as stone,
One heart was ever gay,
One worked with many a groaD,
One whistled all the day.
One had flower clad cot
Beside merry mill,
Wife and children near the spot
Made it sweeter, fairer still;
One a wretched hovel had.
Full of discord, dirt and din,--
No wonder he seemed mad
Wife and children starved within,
Still they worked in the same field,
Toiling on from day to day:
Both had the same hard labor,
Both had the same small pay;
But they worked not with one will,
The reason let me tell,-
Lol the one drank at the still,
And the other at the well.

ly been talking too plainly for an
orthodox Republican,. Ia its last
number it very pointedly says:
"Those who voted for Grant
under protest in 1872 decided that
a Democratic restoration would be
a calamity altogether greater than
any mischief that could result
from tie election of Grant. But
most of them would consider a
Republican nomination at this
time which promised mere con.
tinuance of the regime under
which the honor of the country
and the character of popular gov.
ernment have so severely suffered
a positive evil which they would
actively oppose. And this feeling
extends beyond the class of witch
we speak. A Michigan Union SOL
der says sententiously, 81 have al
ways voted the Republican ticket
heretofore, but when it comes to
being ruled by thieves or rebels, I
shall choose TO be ruled by rebels. !"
1t is an epigrammatic way of put
ting it, but it is a voice which is
heard on all sides, and will be
heard at Cincinnati, for it is the
voice Of the element which has
given power and success to the
Republican party"

A Blind Phrenologist De.
scribes a Preacher.
From the Paris (Texas) Press.

A blind phrenologist lectured
the other night at the Christian
Church. There was a large
crowd of ladies and gentlemen
present. AT the close Of the
lecture a committee was appoin-
ted to select candidates for ex-
animation. The lucky man was
DR.. Felix johnson, Cumberland
Presbyterian pastor of this city.
The blind man Of science pro-
ceeded to say that the Doctor
was very fond of the fair sex
in fact, as Josephus said to
Solomon, ''immoderately fond
of Women;'' that if his wife
we're to die he would lose no
time in looking out for another;
that he had a splendid appetite,
loved good eating, and liked to
s'dine out" and was sure to
make it understood when he
did that DR.. johnson was there,
&c.
Some one IN the audience wan-
ted to know about his religion.
The sightless scientist resumed:
'.Publicly he is very religious,
but privately he is not troubled
with piety; he has fine mechan-
ical head, and while he would
make a fine blacksmith, he
would not make much of a
preacher"
Here the Doctor turned very
red in the face, and said: "Sir,.

l. | have seen five judges of q
high court of the United States
driven from office by threats of
impeachment for corruption and
maIadministraiion.
III. | have heard the taunt, from
friendliest lips, that when the T.

the East to take part with the
civilized world in generous compe.
tition in the arts of life, the only
product Of her institutions IN
which she surpassed all others be-
yond question was her corruption.

in his place and demand the ex
pulsion Of his associates for me-
king sale Of their official privilege
of aelectiDg youths to be educated

Nv. When the greatest railroad

tional triumph and exaltation
turned to bitterness and shame
by the unanimous report of three
committees of Congress - two
of the House and one here that
every step Of that mighty enter
prise had been taken in fraud.
Y. | have heard in highest pla-
ces that shameless doctrine avow-
ed By men in public Office, that
the true way by which power
should be gained in the republic
is to bribe the people with the Of.
fees created for their service, and
that the true end for which it
should be used when gained is the
promotion of selfish ambition and
the qualification of personal re-
venge.

cion haunts the footsteps of the
trusted companions of the Presi-
ident.
In making his address Mr.. Hoar
might add that be has seen the U.
Mon League Club of New York,
the elect of the Republican party,
blackball Secretary Bristow and
gentleman who was suspected of
being a friend of his, for no other
conceivable reason than that pub
Iic officer has shown much indus
try and little mercy in exposing
thieves and sending

IF You are Engaged to 6
Drinking Man Break
Is Or.
From the Gongregationalist.

We tender our thanks to the
Vermont Judge who the other
day, in pronouncing upon a di-
vorce suit. laid down the opin-
ion that when a woman marries
a man of known intemperate
habits, she takes her happiness,
prosperity, and welfare in her
own hands, and has no claim
for riddance Of him thereafter.
We have great pity for the wife
who is joined to an intemper-
ate husband, but we tremble for
the fate of the woman who mar
ries an Incorporate man. IF
these words reach the eye of
any woman under engagement
of marriage to such a man, we
most solemnly appeal to her to
pause before she imperil her
well-being by accepting any
such risk.

A Frightful Spectacle.
Prom the Nerada. Cal.. Tribrne.

From the Nevada, CAL, Tribune.
A teu-mule team, drawing
lumber, while coming from the
vicinity of the lake this morn
ing, went over the grade near
the head of Kings canyon
The driver sprang from the sad
die, thereby saving his life
He then stood still, a horriied
and speechless witness to one
of the most terrible scenes pos
sible to imagine. The mules,
wagon and lumber pitched down
ward in one confused, rolling
mass, nearly two thousand feet
into the bottom Of the gorge,
wild cries from the crushed and
mangled animals ienling the
air as they were hurled madly
down the steep mountain side,
until, when nearing the bottom,
and life becoming extinct. the
agonizing sounds ceased, and
all became silent in death. The
man says that after the first
hundred feet had been passed
the entire mass became hidden
in great cloud OF snow torn
up and scattered through the
all. but that he could distinctly
hear all sounds proceeding from
the white cloud as it rolled
swiftly onward, until it struck
the bottom Of the canyon with a
shock like that of an earthquake.
