BOTTOM FACTS


George W. Curtis uttered some very
plain facts in very plain language in the
Republican State Convention of New
York, of which the following is sam
pie:
"The corruption of the administration,
exposed in every direction, eliminating
at last in the self-confessed bribery of the
Republican Secretary of War, the low
tone of political honor, of political mo-
rality, that has prevailed in official re-
publican service, the increasing disposi
tion of the officers and agents of the ad-
ministration of this country to prostitute
the party organization relentlessly and
at all costs to personal ends, have every
where aroused the apprehension of the
ends of free government, and have
startled and alarmed the honest masses
of the Republican party"
That's just what the Democrats have
been asserting for years, and though
every word is true the Radical leaders
have hooted and howled the plain pal
pable facts down by the cry about cop
perheads, secession sympathizers and all
that kind of twaddle.

SHUT In A NINE,
Workmen in the Manzanita Mines
Closed inby Gazing Bank.

A cave occurred in the Manzdnita
mine, directly over a powder drift which
was being run, and shut in two men.
There were four men working in the drift
-one white and three Cinnamon One
was running a car and one shoveling dirt
back from the two others who were Drift
ing. The tunnel was eighty feet long,
with drifts running at right angles from
the end, distance of forty-siX on one
side and forty-eight on the other. The
white man, whose name is George Brad
shaw, was working in one of the drifts
and Chinaman in the other. The car
man came out of the tunnel with load
and one of the Chinese for powder about
the cave occurred and ran away from the
danger when they saw the mass of dirt
coming, but ofcourse the meninside were
closed in. A large mass Of dirt mixed
with great powders of pipe clay covered
the ground in front of the tunnel, and
the foreman at once turned on both noz-
zles and set fifteen hundred inches of
water at work washing the same off. This
was continued without interruption until
about 10 o'clock in the morning, when
the rails to the track of the tunnel were
found. The waiter was then turned off
and men put at work sinking shaft
through the gravel mass to tap the tun-
mel. A large gang were present to sink
and prepare timbers for safety, and by
diligent work about l o'clock P, M. they
reached the tunnel and found the men all
right and ready to be hoisted up through
the hole and to the surface. 1t was mar
row escape. The air was bad and a candle
would not burn for hours before the res
cue The water in the tunnel was get
ting to be about up to the top Of the mems S
boots, and that caused them more fear
than any thing else, Bradshaw said he
was frightened from no other cause than
fear that the water might rise high enough
to shut off the air entirely. He felt con-
fident the men would dig him out, and
they did. Hundreds of people from town
visited the place and general relief was
felt when the news ofthe safety ofthe two
men was brought to town.-MeVaaa Co..

stirred as it was never before. Every
principle of honor, virtue, faith and cour-
age that made our independence boon
to Americans and mankind, comes to the
front and appeals to us to be wise and
brave, and Independent now, when the
country reels under the staggering inhu-
ences of base, venal, trading politicians.
Both the great political parties have
named the day for their national con-
ventions to nominate Presidential candi-
dates. 1t is not to be expected that any
third party will be in the field The po'
litical millennius has not come when
good men of all parties will rush to a
common standard, and unite on one true
great statesman in whom all men trust,
and say to him: "Be our leader and de.
fence" We expect no snch miracle OF
healing for the nation. Our hope is, and
toward this declaration of hope all this
discourse tends, that the revolutions Of
corruption have been so timely and start
ling, that both parties will be compelled
by the pressure of reused public opin-
ion to call to the head o. their ticket the
best men they can find in their respec-
tive ranks. 1t is on all hands admitted
that there has been no time since 1860
when the issue of Presidential election
was more doubtful. Both sides figure a
majority. And there was never, in our
recollection, a canvass in which each
party was more divided on questions of
national and private Interests, such as
currency, revenue, &c, so that the ties OF
party sit lightly on the limbs of its ad-
herents. In this state of things the inter-
est and the duty of each party are to su-
bordinate merely political questions to
the higher sentiment of character. In
tegrity of craftsmanship, that lofty senti-
ment of honor and right which made
Washington the model for all countries,
and the living example for successive
ages, is the type of man for the times on
which we have fallen. The party that
finds such man, or even one who sug-
gests the possibility of such virtues in
himself, will command the intelligent,
grateful appreciation of millions Of Amer
,can citizens. If there are two such men
to be found, we hope, (alas, how faint the
hope) that one of them may head the
ticket of each of the political parties, and
that with the success of either we may
hail with gratitude the reign Of sensitive
honor, integrity that, like seasoned tim
Der, neither gives nor takes, and that
righteousness exalteth nation. Then
shall sin cease to be our reproach, and
God, even our own God, shall bless us,
There are men enough who read this
paper every week to make these truths
dominant in both parties o that they
were wise, that they understood this

A CLERGYMAN'S STORY.
Elder Leland's Famous Gift to Pres
ident Jefferson Seventy-five Years
Ago.

In the year 1900 four small Baptist
churches were leading a precarious ex-
jstence in New York State. Of that in
the city John Gano was pastor, and Elder
Leland was presiding over congregation
in Cheshire. The latter. honored with
the title of "hard-shelled," deserves a
position at the head of priesthood. Just
after the election of Thomas Jefferson to
the presidency, in 1901, the Elder, I'M
pressed with the propriety of an express
sion of loyalty by the entire Baptist de-
nomination, issued a proclamation that
all men, "holy and good" of that faith,
should contribute material for the manu-
facture of mammoth cheese" to be
given TO the newly elected President
The result was a cheese weighing ,45O
pounds, which the Elder placed on his
wagon and started for Washington.
People focked from all the country ad-
joining the towns through which the
sanity man passed. As he expressed it,
Il preached all the way to the Capital
and back again." Conversions were made
along the route of the pastor and his
cheese, and great revival sprang up in
the Baptist churches throughout the
land, and the prosperity of the church is
attributed to the eccentric Elder and his
gigantic cheese.

Potter officiating, assisted by a number

crowds in front of the house, the church
and along the streets were very great
Admission to the house and church was
by tickets, and the holders of these in
cluded leaders in social, professional and
political life. Governors Tilden and Rice
headed the pall-bearers.

HOW TO FIND 1T OUT.

When a young man who has just
reached the years of goslinhood, has his
boots blacked regularly twice day, puts
on a new paper collar before each meal,
trims his finger nails every half hour,
keeps his three-fuzz-power moustache
perpetually dyed and scented and his
hair solemnly done up and deliberately
parted behind, with semi-occasionally
practicing of graceful attitudes and Sc
ductive smiles in the reflective bottoms
OF new tinware, you can bet your last
"rag- baby" that some girls heart or his'n
is in state of gentle kerAummixment.

THE WISDOM OF LIFE.
BY PROF. BLAIKIE

Would you lead happy life,
Free from melancholy,
Gnawing care and stormy strife,
and plunges of blind folly
will tell you how to live
Heartily and truly,
With sweet honey In your hive,
Like a bee in July.
Like the bee, be out and work
When the sun is shining,
Never in a corner lurk,
Whimpering and whining.
If you scour the fields, you'll find
Thyme, or mint or clover
Something to willing mind
God will still discover.
When the sky is grim and gray,
Though the clouds rain fountains,
March and molehills on your way
Don't mistake for mountains.
If aghost beside you stand,
Make no fearful comments
But face the shadow boldly and
IT'S vanished in moment
What the folks Of you may say
Never mind rattle
Spin your quiet yarn, while they
Waste their wind in battle.
Like that float on wintry wings
With windy haste will perish
But the seed of truthful things
Times fruitful wound will cherish.
Wear your heart not on your sleeve
But on just occasion
Let men know what you believe
With breezy ventilation
Prove the good and make them thine,
With warm embrace and ample
But never cast your pearls to swine,
Who turn and rend and trampie.
Make penny when you can,
IT'S useful as a tool is;
But who says, money makes the man,
A meagre witted tool is,
Rich is he whose genial brea
With liberal salutation,
Hath welcomed all that's brightaadbe
Throughout the wide creation,

The City Recorder ana the Maxis,


The following letter Of instructions
from City Attorney Walker to Recorder
Duff settles points o fpractiee which have
been in dispute for some time, and
which disputes have caused confusion in
the trial OF criminals on State warrants:
MENFHs. TENN. February 10. 1876.
Colonel VIM. L. Duff. City Recorder:
You ask me whether q person being
under arrest to be brought before the
City Recorder can be taken out of the
hands of the city or police authorities
under a warran. of arrest issued By a
magistrate for a State ofense. Without
going into the reasons for my opinion
land think they are obvious and will
readily suggest themselves, / think it
cannot be done.
Second-You ask whether the station
house keeper has power to receive fines
imposed by yourself, and whether after
receiving them, he must account and
pay over to you on demand, or must he
account directly to the city? / think
that the city ordinance from section 4l2
TO 4I3 contemplates that the fines i'm
posed by the Recorder shall 90 into the
hsnds Of the Recorder and be accounted
for by him.
Section 423 does not refer to fines i'm.
posed and paid, but to money or valu,
ables taken from an arrested person. |
think the fines are to be paid directly to
the Recorder or to some one authorized
by him to receive them. Yours truly,
s. P. WALKER, City Attorney.
