HARTFORD, July 21.-A good
story about Mark Twain is Just
beginning to leak out here. Some
time ago he went on a visit to
Elmira, New York, leaving his
quaint house among the trees on
Pennington avenue in charge Of
his servants. Nearly two weeks
ago an article was published in the
Hartford daily paper chronicling an
Intellectual attempt to rob the hu-
morist's residence.
The story was that man pre-
sented himself at the door one day,
saying that he had been sent by the
gas company to inspect the meter
and pipe. The servant, who had
not the slightest suspicion, allowed
the stranger to enter and do as he
pleased. When he supposed no one
was watching his movements he
hid himself away in dark corner,
Of which there are many in the old
chalet, and waited for darkness.
But the girl, who had watched his
movements, went and procured as
sistance, and had the intruder
"bounced" without ceremony.
When Mr.. Clemens heard the
story in Elmira, he thought he
smelled a very large rat, and has
tened to Hartford with the purpose
of ferriting it out. His theory was,
that one OF the servant girls must
have a beau who was admitted to
the house at unusual hours, and
that, being caught in the act, this
means of concealing the real truth
Of the case was adopted. With all
the sagacity Of an ex-journalist he
followed his clue, but could not es-
tablish the theory he had formed.
But while pursuing his investi-
CATION he learned that one of the
girls, who had been member Of
his family for a long time, was
really guilty of having male ad-
mirer, who occasionally shared the
hospitality Of the house, unknown
to the proprietor. She was buxom
English girl, with handsome form
and bright, cheerful face. Faith
full in the performance Of 'her du-
ties, and always solicitous for the
best interests of the family, she
made herself almost invaluable to
the household. The high esteem
in which Mr.. Clemens had always
held her, no doubt influenced his
course. lie was sorry to part with
the girl who had served him well,
but seeing no other alternative,
quickly matured aplan that SHOULD
let her down easy" After o long
hunt he succeeded in discovering
the young fellows name. When
that was gained, Mr.. Clemens went
down town and procured mar
riage certificate, Returning, he
stopped at the residence OF Rev. MI.
Twichell, pastor OF the Asylum
Street Church, and took him into
his carriage. Arrived home, the
first thing done was to send for the
young man, who soon appeared,
somewhat frightened at the sum
mons. From his dress and general
appearance of decay, it was evident
that his circumstances were not
those of violent prosperity. When
he was brought in, Mark braced up
and looked dignihed. This was
about the dialogue that ensued;
Mark-So, young man, you have
been in the habit Of making a hotel
of my house-with all the modern
improvements. TSilenco unbroken
by the young man. Well, as you
don't offer any objections we'll take
that part of the matter for granted.

point it would have been all right

HiEhest Mountain Ever climbed.

Mr.. Charles Wiener, who for the
past two years has been conducting
a scientific expedition in South
America under directions from the
French government, claims to have
succeeded in making the first ascen-
sion of Mount lllimaui, in Bolivia,
oneIof the few known lefty peaks
on the surface Of the earth left yir-
gin Of the foot of man. On the 18th
of May, with two companions, he
reached, as he believes, the top of
the mountain, and ascertained the
height of the southeastern peak to
be 20, ,l12 feet. He gave this peak
the name of the Peak Of Paris,
which name has been recognized
Officially" (by the French society,
as we suppose), and deposited on

| will now proceed to illustrate an
other method Of punishment that has
stood in very high favor in certain To-
calitles. The pupil made to stand
close to the wall and gradually slide
down till he comes to sitting posture
without any seat. This is technically
termed sitting on nothing, and, as a
means of torture, has few equals.
Another means of punishment, bet
ter known than any yet mentioned, is
by standing the offender up in some
conspicuous place for definite, or in
definite, portion of time. In mixed
school such punishment may some
times be attended with serious c. Il
sequences. No teacher should use
this means of punishment indiscrimi-
nately. The physical arrangement
caused thereby may be of a serious
nature. A word to the thoughtful is
sufficient.
Pulling the ears, cutting the side of
the head, &C., are all improper meth
DDS of punishment. They make the
papil indignant, and he has right to
be; hence, the moral effect is ad.
Then, too, it is evident that the head
was never intended as place to which
punishment may be administered. Let
US all, as teachers and parents, try to
refrain from developing the mental
powers Of children by logging their
brains" p. D. r.

handled very cheaply. Two men can
take out from this lead, as we'll as
from the Ida Toland, four or FIVE tons
of rich ore per day. The
Northern Light
Is being opened by tunnel, which is
following the ledge, that is showing
well. It being the next location to
the original Sub Rosa, insures it to be
a valuable location, which promises to
make bonanza kings Of it's owners.
The
Mine, as already stated, was discov-
cred two years ago. The first year
the ore was packed on mules dis
lance of four miles, and crushed, yield
ing large profits to the owners. Year
before last wagon road was con-
structed to Plowman's mill, and last
year 992 tons hauled and worked that
yielded $31,20 This ore all came
from the 100.foot level. a tunnel is
now being run to tap the ledge $50 feet
deep, which will reach it in about eight
days, by which time the new 1O-stamp
mill will be completed and work will pro-
coed at a lively rate; but there will
still be one drawback. The mill will
be totally inadequate to the require,
ments Of the mine, which will, with
very moderate energy, yield fifty tons
Of ore per day, requiring about thirty
stamps, instead of ten, to crush it.
We are glad, however, to see the To-
stamp mill so near completion, and
soon the scream of its whistle and rat
tie Of its iron shoes will gladden. the
hearts of the enterprising prospectors,
who delve among the surrounding gold
studded hills. The mill is situated
conveniently below the mine, so that
the car that brings the ore from the
mine dumps it into a chute that runs
it into the mill. Another level may be
run $50 feet below the present one,
which will still be. high enough to
dump into the mill; thus rendering
the handling of ore very cheap; so
cheap that six dollars PEE ton will
mine and work it.
1t being demonstrated that the Sub
Rosa is true tisSure vein, and rich,
with timber and water convenient, the
vein very large, ore abundant and cas-
lily reduced, and the further fact that
the same lead is traced for distance
of two miles in a direct line, with busy
men at wolk opening up their mines,
the prospects OF Boise county are
brighter to-day than they have been
for years The owners of this vaIua-
bic property are William Hooteu,
Thomas Elliot and George b. Baldwin;
the latter having purchased fourth
interest last fall at the extremely low
figure of $4,000.

and silver, and free from base metal.
Messrs, Pierce and Luney are down
twelve feet on their extension of that
ledge, and have vein over foot and

Mr. Pierce prospected the ledge some
distance from where they are sinking,
and obtained good prospects. This
ledge is easily traced three or four
miles, and the indications are that it
is good all that distance.

Our old friend, Jerry G.. Mahany,

and barefoot women. Not, however,

not to charge on Mormonism, but to
charge with metallurgy. He goes as

mercy Of the Mormons and the fellow
ship of all outside saints. His "call"
is to the Shoebridge mill, Tintic dis
trlct, Utah, and if he doesn't fix up
that Shoe and Bridge over the yawn-
ing chasm between .loss0 and "profit"
in that mill, then we propose to pub
lish him! And this suggests to us to
say-behind his back-that Mr.. NJ.
was one of the early Colorado birds.
Ever since go he has made the mines
his home. He has served a full and
faithful apprenticeship in prospecting,
mining and milling. Formerly he was
connected with many of the leading
lodes of Gilpin Co., as mining captain,
as e. g., the Bobtail, Gregory, Briggs,
Bates, etc He also took hand in
the mill building business, erecting,
on Fall river, the Montrose mill, and
in Golconda Gulch the Osceola mill.
Of late years he has been intimately
associated with Mr.. J. O.. Stewart.
He is we'll up in the latest milling ex-
perlments, especially in the new Hunt,
Douglas and Stewart process, which,
together with the Purvine Pan, he
will represent, introduce and operate.
He is abundantly qualified by gent
al temperament, conscientious regard
for duty, integrity, ability and expert
ence, to achieve success, which we
most heartily wish him. Clear Greek,
