You know how Col. Colt got out his

of it. He was looking over some cases In
the British museum, when he saw an old
revolver, made soon after the invention
of gunPowder, very muck on the pattern
of ours to-day. He thought be saw
where the trouble lay, and took thumb
nail drawing on the spot, fitted cap to
the lock and made heap of money. You
see the trouble was they hadn't got to
making Illuminating powder In those days.
They had the revolving principle, but
the powder was loose in the pan. and
when the flint struck eff perfect shower
OF SPARKS, 1t that powder happened to be
spilled little, all six barrels were as
likely to go off together as not. A grain

4 Beautiful Sentiment.

Shortly before his departure for India,
the lamented Heber preached a SER
mon, which contained this beautiful
sentiment: Life bears us on like the
stream Of mighty river. Our boat
glides down the narrow channel
through the playful murmuring of
the little brook and the winding of its
grassy borders. The trees shed their
blossoms over our young heads, the
flowers on the brink seeem to offer
themselves to our yonng hands, we
are happy in hope, and grasp eagerly
at the beauties around us-but the
stream hurries on, and still our hands
are empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is alonga wilding flood
amid objects more striking and mag
nificent. We are animated as the
moving pictures of enjoyment and in
dustry are passing us, we are excited at
some short-lived disappointment.
The stream bears us on, and our joys
and griefs are alike left behind US.
We may be shipwrecksd, We cannot
be delayed; whether rough or smooth
the river hastens to its home, till the
roar of the ocean is In our ears, and
the tossing of the waves Is beneath
our feet, and the land lessons from
our eyes, and the floods are lifted
around us, and we take our leave of
earth and its inhabitants, until of our
future voyage there Is no witness,
save the Infinite and Eternal.n

Prom the Cincinnati Commercially

From the Cincinnati Commercially
Twentyseven years ago the writer
of this and his brother stood on a spot,
distant seventy miles west of Keokuk,
in Iowa, in the midst of vast prairie
boundless east and west fringe Of
woodland visible north and south,
roadless and trackless, the frontier of
civilization. Here a sight for house
was chosen and cabin raised. Upon
that spot now stands a tlourishing vii
lage, with its churches and schools.
Through there runs the Chicago, Bur-
lington and Southwestern railroad

Of 81. Loais. Through there also
runs the st. Louis and North Missouri
railroad st Louis effort TO intercept
the trade of Chicago.
Three or four years after the erection
OF that cabin my brother was engaged
IN making brick with which to build
better house. There were employed by
him two boys frank ingenious boys
who worked hard all day preparing the
mud, and then read eagerly till late
hour in the books Of the house. One
OF these boys weaded his way across
the plains and was lost sight OF amid
the SierraS. Lately he has emerged

Of the Lemire family of Art, that this

THE HERALD AND REpuB1,rcAN
OFFICIALS.

1t is a most outrageous fashion that i'm
pels a newspaper to censure the public acts
OF a public servant for the sole and simple
cause that the public servant happens to be
a political opponent. Because the Governor
and Secretary of Dakota are republicans the
Dakota Herald feels it to be a part of its lie.
Ultimate duty to ridicule, ~misrepresent and
denounce their public acts, no matter how
we'll or how wisely they may be performed.
An instance Of this senseless partizan ami
mostly is shown by their criticism of secre-
tary Hand and Sheriff Bullock in connec.
ton with the Keets mine trouble.
In the interest Of peace, good order, the
peoples welfare and in accordance witt
their sworn duty, these officers have endeav.
ored to suppress lawlessness. The fact tina
the miners who had taken the Law int,
their own hands, were honest, hard working
men, had q just claim and were backed b.
popular sympathy, only made the task o
the officials charged with executing the Law
SO much more difficult. It did not exoner
ate them from a,,prompt and rigid perform
ance Of their duty. No one At all acquain.e .;

THE KEErs TROUBLE.
Black Hills IIerald) Nov. 18th.

Yesterday morning Judge Murphy was
arrested in Deadwood for "inciting to riot"
&c., and it is plainly promised that a large
number of others will also be placed in
durance vile in a day or two. We are in
formed by the best of authority that q force
of troops one hundred and thirty strong will
be in from Yankton as soon as they can
reach the Hills by the Pierre route. What
the result of the advent Of soldiers will be
cannot be accurately foretold, and will de-
pend much upon the officers in command.
There is no doubt but that a very bitter
and hostile feeling has been engendered be-
tween Mr.. Whitney and the miners now in
possession of the Keets mine, and that both
parties feel themselves %aggrieved. That
grievances exist between the miners and the
contractor is patent to every one, for the
families OF these men are in actual want, in
consequence of their pay being denied them
for SO long a time, and when a mans wife
and children are destitute there is cause for
bitterness against the law, or rather lack of
law. which allows such a condition Of affairs.
In what manner this opposition should take
form is a question upon which no two men
of diverse interests can agree. The labor
ing classes take the law into their own
hands, and with arms in their hands take
possession Of valuable property. They have
nothing and consequently lose nothing.
except their personal liberty, by such a
transaction. The mine owners, on the
other hand, show plainly that they are
innocent Of a desire to keep the wages from
the men, b 1t that they cannot. and will not,
pay twice over for the mining and delivery
of the same ore. That these men are in
better circumstances than those employed in
the mine is no reason why they should be
mulcted the amount of the back pay due the
miners. So far as the Herald can ascertain,
the men can look to no one but their en-
ployer for their pay; if Mr.. Conl.e hired
them, MI. Conlee must pay them, and all
efforts on their part to force Nh. Whitney
and the other owners to do it must inevita-
bly, prove futile. In conclusion, the Herald
urges a compromise between the contestants
at once. To the owners We say, be concil.
iatory for there are women and children de-
pendent upon these miners who must suffer
terribly if they are deprived of the care oil
their husbands and fathers at this season OF
the year, to the miners we say come out and
give up. for you have nothing to gain and
everything to loose, by holding on until you
are starved out, which you must inevitably
be, if you persist in your present course.
Your only hope Of redress lies in a settle.
ment with the contractor, and nothing can
be gained by maintaining your present posi-.
ton in defiance of the sheriff of the county
Make terms while you can.
