Legal yerbiage.

IN a suit recently brought in the Su-
preme Court in Trey to recover damages
for the bite Of dog the following answer
has been served by well known member
of the legal fraternity of that city: And
the defendant further answers that at the
time mentioned in the complaint the
plaintiff, with s-ndry other unruly and
boisterous youths, was throwing snow
balls in the immediate vicinity Of the de-
PENDANTS house, and thereby endangering
its safety and that Of its inmates and

said plaintiff, and requested him in a

Neglected Customers.

The farmer as we'll as tle business man
usually aims to please the whims and
supply the wants of his customers. He
will face the toughest blasts of winters
storm to deliver a roll of butter and few
dozen eggs to the storekeeper at the sta
ton, because the latter depends upon his
weekly supply, and he does not want to
disappOint an old customer. In any other
direction, or for any other purpose, he
would not stand such exposure and per-
form such labor for double the amount
the articles will bring. In this he is ac-
tuated by the same motives as the city
merchant who neglects his family and
other affairs for day Or an evening to
contribute to the enjoyment of a good
customer from distant town. There are
various reasons for this course toward
customers, and they are not all selfish
1t is in fact mark of gratitude and ex-
preston of good feeling. Chiefly, how
ever, it is a prudent forethought of the
possible advantages of a continuance of
their business relations as producer and
purchaser. The farmer who is careful to
cultivate the good will Of his customers,
by delivering his grain in good order and
at the time appointed is apt to have good
customers, secure the best price for his
products, and prosper in his business.
Yet we have often had occasion to no.
tice frequent cas- es of fragrant neglect on
the part of farmers to their best custom
ers. Every farmer has one customer at
least, with whom he must always deal
If they have a falling out, as is frequently
the case, their relations are such that
they cannot quit and go different ways !;
but must 60 On in state of chronic dis
agreement and mutual swindling, which
it is in the farmers power to easily re-
move, for that customer is himself. He
has tastes to be gratifed, rights to be re-
spected, and interests to be consulted.
Yet how often are they actually outraged
and violated? How seldom does he graf
ifY his tastes for recreation, how often
violate his right to respectable clothing
and reasonable respite from labor? This
is not an evil due to monopoly or to be
remedied by the concerted action of the
grange. Itsis almost entirely an indvid-
ual matter, and can only be cured by in
dividual effort The farmer should look
at himself and his family, as his own chief
customers, who should have value re-
ceived for their money and time, and live
in comfort, health and contentment; and
he may be sure that such treatment of
these customers will result in large and
profitable retu rn.-IndiGnd Farmer.

stately old lady would make the country
woman welcome.
In the evening that followed, Fred's
heart was touched and warmed, till, scarce
" conscious of his own words, he told his
long cherished secret, and knew that he
had won love for love.
Aunt SaDina stayed two weeks, and then
went home, to the immense relief of the
Gorhams, and carrying no regret at leav,
ing any but Fred and Cornelia.
1t was not even suspected that Cornelia
spent four weeks in the height of the
summer season, listening to the praises OF
Fred at Sabina's farm house; and Fred
did not know it until he came, too, after
she was gone, and had his share of listen.

loved
He wore the necktie and made himself
SO much at home, that Sabina wept some
of the bitterest tears of her life when he
left
"To have you both, and lose your she
sobbed.
Next time we will come together
Fred whispered, and so consoled her.
But, alas the next time Fred came was
TO superintend the funeral of the gentle
old lady; and though Cornelia came, too
his happy wife, there was no welcome
in the pale lips, or the blue eyes closed
forever.
But the will the old lady left gave all
her worldly possessions to her "dea1
nephew, Frederic Gorham"-the farm
and farm house.
1t was apparently no very great legacy,
and Cornelia smiled at many of the old
fashioned treasures she touched, all with
the tender reverence death leaves.
Ten years ago Sabina was laid to rest
in her narrow coffin, and there is a busy
f1ourishing town around the site of the
old farm.
Mr.. Frederic Gorham lives there now,
and handles large sums of money-the
rents of stately buildings.

An Object-LessOn In Specie Payments.

Gold and silver money passed out OF
sight in the first years Of the War. Even
the small silver change that had continued
in use through the previous eras Of
"stump -tail - " Wildcat and yellow
dog" paper money disappeared. The peo
pie were compelled to make change with
postage stamps, hOrse-car tickets and va
rious scrip. This sticky stuff was re-
placed with the fractional currency which
has been in circulation since 1862, and
has become as indistinguishable and dis
agreeable as the private currency it sue
ceeded. A generation has grown up that
has never seen any clean, real money, and
another generation has forgotten what
such money was like. We are now upon
the eve of the reintroductjon of silver coin
for small change. The temperance of
this currency and its general use will be
an Opportune lesson in primary princi-
pies of currency. For the first time in al
most decade and a half, the people
will handle clean, solid, actual money.
The unclean substitutes for small change
will vanish. The people will have an
object-lesson in specie payments. They
will find the new money so far superior
to The old that they will easily be led, like
children in a kindergarten, to rest one OBJ
servation upon another, and see that 1t
would be good thing to have all our
money in gold and silver or their repre-
sentatives. Experience is the best teach
er. The general restoration OF specie
payments will seem more desirable and
practical when people have learned to

measures eight miles in length; in them
IS seen the process of removing the ore by
blasting, the fuses for which were at first
imported from abroad, but are now made
on the premises, at a saving of more than
seventy five per cent The ore is broken
up into pieces at the mouths of the shoots :;
the least rich Jumps and those containing
large amount of other minerals are set
apart tor consumption at convenience,
while the best pieces are sorted into five
classes, their estimated values ranging
from about et6 to 81 900 per ton. These
are pounded into dust in crushing mills
and the dust baked in ovens with COM
mon salt Chloride of sodium). Hitherto
the silver has been combined with sui
phur, but in these ovens a chemical
change takes place, the chlorine of the
common salt combining with the silver and
the ten or twelve per cent. of gold which
the ore contains, and the sulphur OF the
silver combining with the sodium of
the salt to make EPSON salt, which goes
into the river and poisons the fish. The
ore-now red earth-is then, by means
of water and iron balls, thoroughly mixed
with large quantity of quicksilver by the
aid of revolving drums. Under this pro-
cess the quicksilver takes up the precious
metal, and when the amalgamation is
complete, the drums are emptied and the
mud washed away. The combined metals
are next treated by hydraulic pressure
against leather sieve, through which
free mercury is extruded, leaving putty
like, brilliant white amalgam. Heated in
iron retorts, the remaining mercury in the
amalgam is driven off into a condenser to
be used again; and the resulting Jumps

which brings away some scori9 and other
impurities in the form of a scum, are run

A Visit to Japanese Silver Mine.

A WRITER in the RiogO Neaos lately paid
a visit to the great silver mines of Ikuno,
Japan, where European machinery has
been introduced with great success; and
as his account of what he saw is of con-
siderable interest, we condense from it the
following notes: On the hillside above
the works, the objects which first attract
the visitors notice are the house ION a

used to work the shaft now being driven
down into the rock; number of places
like large rabbit-holes, and tramway

NOTHING IS LOST.

WHERE is the snow?
lis not long ago
1t Cover'd the earth with a veil of white;
We heard not its footsteps soft and light,
Yet there it was in the morning bright;
Now it hath vanish d away from sight
Not a trace remains
In fields or lanes.
Where is the frost?
They are gone and lost
The forms of beauty it gaily made,
The pictures rare on windows array'd.
g Be SILENT it said; the brook obey'd.
The frost-work wild pictures all did fade;
At the smile of the sun
All was undone.
Where is the rain?
Pattering it came;
Dancing along with merry sound,
grassy bed in the fields it found;
Each drop came on the roof with a bound.
Where is the rain? 1t hath left the ground.
What good hath it done,
Going away SO soon?
Ever, ever
Cur best endeavor
.Seemeth to fail like the melted snow:
We worked out our thought wisely and slow;
The seed we sow-but it will not grow:
Our hopes, our resoives-where do they go?
What doth remain
Memory and pain!
Nothing is lost
No snow nor frost
That come to enrich t he earth again:
We thank them when the ripening grain
Is waving over the bill and plain,
And the pleasant rain springs from earth amain
All endeth in good
Water and food.
Never despair;
Disappointment bear.
Though hope seemeth vain, be patient still;
Thy good Intents God will fulfill.
Thy hand is weak His powerful will
Is completing thy life-work still.
The good endeavor
Is lost?-ah! never

A Yerdant Reporter from Brooklyn.

IN our frequent reports of the fleeing
of passengers on the Central Road by
| tbree-card monte gamblers we have al
ways suggested that the victims would not
have been robbed if they had devoted a
small share of the money lost to subscrib-
ing for newspaper in which such games
are exposed. Little did we expect to re-
cord among the pigeons that were to be
plucked newspaper reporter; but, sad to
relate, one foolish member Of the frater-
nifty has been found and, oddly enough
he was from the wicked city Of Chicago,
en- route to the wickedest of all cities
Brooklyn! At quarter to five a. M
yesterday two Herald reporters were talk
ing to Conductor Coates, Of the ST. Louis
express east, when they were approached
by well-dressed and inteIligent-loohing
man, who said: Mr. Conductor,
thought knew all the tricks of gamblers,
but [ have been picked up between SYRIA
cure and Utica by pretty sharp gang,
and have lost my money. They played
the two soldiers and the star card game,
which is virtually three-card monte, and
they caught me on the fly" The
conductor and reporters looked at each
other and smiled, as they have frequently
smiled over that Oft-told tale at that hour
before. The stranger continued: 3" [ have
been connected with the newspapers for
the past fifteen years, and have written up
ali kinds of games in wicked Chicago for
the Times Of that city; also for the Brook
Ign Eagle, upon which l am to be en-
ployed; but these fellows were too sharp
for mel What fool [ was after following
Chow Chow the famous Coney Island
three-card gambler for years, to be picked
up by Syracuse ladsr' When asked how
he was roped in he said his companion in
the seat was green cOuntryman, who got
on at Syracuse. He said he had been to
Chicago, and amused the Times reporter
| by his funny stories about the Yankees in
that city who were too lazy to walk up
stairs in the hotels, and had to be carried
up in steam wheelbaTrOw! Then there
was stir in one corner of the coach, and
| the countryman proposed they should go
! anu sec what was up. DUN went anu
found party of men around another, who
had three cards in his lap. The country
man Whom it is needless to add was one
of the gamblers put up his money on the
little joker, and the guileIess member OF
the reportorial staff of the Chicago Times
and Brooklyn Eagle put up his hard
earned dollars, and they disappeared like
the snow. Who pities him? The poor
fellow said he had just enough money to
pay his way to New York, but he had
! learned a good lesson. While he was
telling the story the All Sin and green
countryman" of the little game strolled
around within listening distance and
seemed to enjoy it hugely. People who
go to bed at night lose a great deal Of fun
that reporters enjoy. The victim in this
case did not know that he was admitting
his foolishness to other members of the
fraternity or be might have kept his bust
ness to himself.-Utica IN. y Herald.
