WHAT TIKI MINERS SAy.-Nearly every
stage from Idaho brings from two to
four miners, who are branching out in
search of employment. We have con-
vsrsed with many of them at different
times. and their unanimous opinion is
that the majority of the mines at Silver
would pay if honestly managed. They
say that the great object with those
who have charge of the mines has been
to 9 feather their own nests " at the ex-
pense of the stockholders and the
miners. The former have been as
sessed, and the latter have been
swindled ont of their hard earnings.
until one class refused to pay any more
assessments, and the other refuse to
work without pay. This dishonest
management has been the curse of War
Eagle Mountain, and brought ruin and
deso!ation TO once prosperous mining
camp.

CHINESE LABoR.-Thc Nevada Tran

those opposed to hiring Cinnamon in
place of white men: 1t has always
been claimed by those who oppose
Chinese labor that it does not pay.
They claim that the same money paid
for two Cinnamon will more than paw
one white man. and that the average
white man will do more work than
the two Cinnamon. The Superintend.
ent Of the Bald Mountain Gravel Mine.
which is located at Forest City, Sierra
county, has always been one Of those
who think Cinnamon arc q nuisance.
In his mine there are I60 men en-.
ployed. About year ago the San

HoE. s. S. FENN.-The course OF
this gentleman in the contest with
Tom Bennett for the seat in the House
las been manly and wholly honorable
throughout. He relied solely upon
the facts in the case and All honest
Congress to do him justice. He has
won no fight, because there was none
to win-the case was too plain. But
that he and his friends have been sub
iected to no little annoyance by the
daring rascalities Of Bennett and his
tools, there can be no doubt. Bennett
started in to be Delegate through fair
or foul means, and failing in the form
er he left nothing undone to accom-
plish his aims by the latter, and re-
sorted to the most contemplate tricks
Of thievery to carry out his purpose.
For the first time in fifteen years hon
est congressman had been elected and
justice was done in every contested
ease that came before them, and Ben
nett Of course was kicked out. It is
q source Of extreme qualification to
know that Mr.. Fem and the people of
this Territory have not been defraud-
ed of their rights, and still greater
pleasure the fact that fraud in election
matters will no longer be counte.
nanced by Congress.

AccrDENr-Mr VIM. Barker, at
work in the mining claim Of Mr.. G.
B. Baldwin, on North Elk, met with
an accident last Tuesday morning
which he considers very fortunate
that it proved no more serious. A
large log, that had been braced to its
place, started to move, and before Mr.
Barker could get out Of the way its
end caught one Of his thighs and
damned it against a rock wall. A
couple Of Cinnamon came to the res.
cue Of Mr.. Barker, and bent their iron
crow-bars without releasing him from
bis painful position. This effort to re.
move the log gave it . twist through
which be received additional hurt.
One Of the Cinnamon was then sent
for alarge wooden crow-bar, and by
this time Baldwin came up and Bark

SENSIBLE AND HuMANE.-Archbishop
Wood, q Roman Catholic prelate Of
Philadelphia, in regard to keeping
open the Centennial Exhibition
grounds on Sunday, says:
i see no objection to opening the
grounds on Sunday If they are not
thrown open until noon, after every
one has had an opportunity to attend
church or mass. The Sabbath is not
only day Of rest and devotion, but
Of recreation also. It is the poor
mans holiday-the only day on which
he can. seek pleasure. lie loves the
day. 1t is his day-the only one Of
the seven. The rich have the whole
week for pleasure, but the poor are
confined to Sunday. l don't see how
it can be dcsecrated by simply assist.
ing the working classes to study the
triumphs Of civilization and education.

A NEW dictionary is under consider
alton by the London Association Of
Correctors of the Press. At the last
monthly meeting of the Association
an adjourned discussion on Spelling
Bees and Dictionaries" took place, in
which the evils Of spelling word in
various ways were shown to be very
serious to all engaged in literary work,
and the Association resolved to at
tempt at once to remedy them by pre-
pairing dictionary of words Of dispu-
ted spelling, giving each word in one
form according to usage among the
best modern standard writer's. As the
photography Of nearly every work is
sued by the press is practically settled
by the Association, the dictionary will
doubtless be heartily welcomed by au-
thors. printers and the general public.

Omefal weather . gns.

In response to a circular sent to all
the station observers by the chief sig
nal officer, asking for the signs preced-
ing storms, Signal Service Observer
Dumont has recently sent to Washing
ton report for his locality, based upon
his own observations, and the weather
notes which Major Ingersoll has kept
for several years, and Foreman Allin's
record. After detailing the action of
the instruments before storms, the re-
port gives the weather signs by which
the approach of a storm Is heralded,
and these by the way, are considered
more reliable than the instrumental
signs. Old weather prophets will be
interested In comparing these rules
with the maxims which they have
drawn from their own observations.
We append the signs:
l. As rule il the wind touches north
east or east for two or three days, 1t is a
sure indication of rain.
2. Dense smoke and haze In early
morning portend falling weather.
8. Summer showers of light charac-
ter often follow two or three days Of
smoke or haze.
4. Fog, frost, and dew precede rain
twenty four to forty. eight hours, ex-
cept fog at the close Of storms.
3. Wind veering from north or west
to south and southeast precedes falling
weather.

Jefferson, of all our early statesmen,
was the most efficient master OF the
pen, and the most advanced political
thinker. In one sense, as the author OF
the Declaration Of Independence, he
may be called the greatest, or at least,
the most generally known, Ct Ameri-
can authors. But in his private cor
respondence his literary talent Is most
displayed, for by his letters he built up
q party which ruled the United States
tor nearly half q century, and which
was, perhaps, only overturned because
It's opponents cited the best portions of
Jefferson's writings against conclusions
derived from the worst. In executive
capacity he was relatively weak; but
his mistakes in policy and his feeble
ness in administration, which would
have ruined an ordinary statesman At
the head Of so turbulent combination
of irascible individuals rs the Demo-
cratic party of the United states, were
all condOned BY tho~e minor leaders of
faction who, yielding to the magic per-
suasiveness of his pen, assured their
followers that the great man could do
no wrong. Read in connection with
the events of his time, JeffersOn's writ
ings must be considered Of permanent
value and interest. As q political leader
he was literally a man of letters; and
his letters are masterpieces, if viewed
rs illustrations Of the arts by which po-
litical leadership may be attained. In
his private correspondence he was Il
model of urbsnity and geniality. The
whole impression derived from his
works is that he was better man than
his enemies would admit him to be, and
not SO great man as his partisans de-
clared him to be.

Ebers, the German arch3oloxlsk ~
made an interesting discovery Of wh1
is said to be portion Of one ~ The II
Hermesic books Of medicine. ulfbefC
all attempts to trace che or&Gin ~ 1h454
puted Hermetic wfitinS ~ -
ir has been assumed that the greal
"Hermcs" was a NEUROLOGICAL person
aye invented by the earlier alchemlstI
to credit the acquired knowledge with
the authority OF antiquity. The manu-.
script, when Thoroughly deciphrred, may
throw some light on this doubtful point;
but, even il il fails to do 70, the tact thai
fragment of the lost learning Of the
Egyptians has been recovered II mat
ter OF scientific interest. The manu-
script WAS discovered among the bones
Of a mummy some years ago by an Arab,
and ON his death it was offered to DIR.
Ebers, who eventually purchased it At
considerable price. 1t consists of Z
single sheet papyrus, about sixty feet
la length. and the characters are II
red and black ink. Judging from the
characters, the date of the manuscript
may be placed about l 800 year b. c.,
making il over $500 years old; and, u
written in the earlier part Of the centu-
~, il would have been contemporzne-
GUS with the period of Moses residence
NJ the Court OF Pharaoh. Oaly pUr-
ton of the document has ut present been
translated by Ebers. including some OF
the headings Of the various chapters,
such rs 1.-THE secret book of the physi-
clans. ''the science of the beating Of
the heart, the knowledge of the heart
rs taught by the priest-physician Neb-
sceht," medicines for alleyiating sc-
cumulatiOn of urine and Of the xbdo-
men." There is every reason to sup
pose that the Egyptians attained high
degree of scientific knowledge at a very
early period of their history. At the
present day 1t is still called, we believe,
by the C0pts the Land Of Kemi. Lindas
has suggested that = kuoYiedge Of this
art WAS introduced Into Europe By thli
ArgOnats, who sailed to CoIchis to carry
of the Golden Fleece. The COlchians,
according to Herodotus. were an Egyp-
tian colony, and Lindas supposes the
Golden Fleece to have been book writ
ten OH sheepskin, teaching the method
OF making gold by the chemical art.
The date of the Argonautic expedition
was. according TO most chronographers,
1850 b. e., or 300 years later than the
supposed date of Ebers' manuscript. 1t
is to be hoped thar future researches
may bring to light further evidence Of
the scientific history of the past, and 80
enable us to estimate the degree OF
civilization and scientific attainment
reached by the early races of mankind.

When we duly take all these things
into the accout, the case OF our solar
system will appear as only one Of a
thousand cases of evolution and disso-
luton with which the heavens furnish
us. Other stars, like our sun, have un-
doubtedly started as vaporOus masses,
and have thrown of planets in contract
ing. The inference may seem n bold
one, but 1t after all involves no other
assumption than that of the continuity
of natural phenomena. 1t is not likely
therefore that the solar system will for
ever be left to itself. Stars which
strongly gravitate toward each other.
while moving through the perennially
resisting medium, must in time be
drawn together. The collision of our
extinct sun with one of the Pleiades,
after this manner, would very likely
suffice to generate even grander neb-
ula than the one with which we started.
Possibly the entire galactic system may, i,
in an inconceivably remote future, re-
model itself in this way; and possibly
the nebula from which our own group
Of planets has been formed may have
owed its origin to the disintregarion of
systems which had accomplished their
career i'm the depths of the bygone eter-
