A NagabOnd Miners Luck.

One day a mining vagabond, named
Bassick, just from Australia, without a
dollar in his pocket, began digging in
Tyndall Hill. About three feet under
ground there was a calcareous sub
stance like chalk or rotten refuse
chalky matter. That formed the whole
hill. The people of Rosita were all
laughing at the poor beggar who had
found mine as big as piece of
chalk" Bassick's Whitewash Mine"
it was called in derision. The tattered
prospector brought the lime down, had
an assay made of it and found it very rich
in carbonite of lead carrying silver. AS
soon as the discovery was made known
the country went wild. Digging down
he found powders, and pebbles from
the size of a hickory nut to that of a
pumpkin. They lay like pebbles in the
bed of a river, in this horizontal gulch
or river bed of lime. Every pebble was
coated with pure silver-chloride, as thick
usually as the tinger-nail. The like of
this Observation-Disclosures in silver cap
sules-is found nowhere else in the
known world. 1t is so far geological

down 200 feet that ore has paid richer

has worked the mine six months, hav-

of Black Hawk. So far it has yielded,
and is yielding Mr.. Bassick an average
of S64, 900 month. This may be con-
sidered pretty big yarn. stood with

A Mystery Solved.

Barent de Klyna Anthony, the good
for-nOthing lover who from New York
City went to Kansas, leaving his hat and
cane on the rivers edge, to convey the
idea that he had been murdered or had
committed suicide, possessed consider
able Imagination and nonsense in him,
no doubt; but in Norristown lives a
young lady who could Guido him in a
match competition for championship.
A twelve-mOnth ago an anonymous let
ter came to her, saying her father, a
rich farmer ten years before, had lent
the writer sum of money to start in
business with, all through her interces-
sion, and that he had since become rich.
Neither father nor mother remembered
the circumstance, and the girl was then
too young to have remembered it. A
few days later another letter was slipped
under the hall-door while the family
were at dinner. Several more letters
followed, and often contained presents,
one of the letters saying that the writer
was in Paris, but that he had an agent
in Norristown. Finally, on Sept. 7,
the young lady's mother received a let
ter from the mysterious correspondent,
saying he had returned from France
and wished to disclose himself. Hehad,
he said, issued fifty invitations for a
surprise party at her house on the fol-
lowing Friday evening, the sixteenth
anniversary of the young lady's birth
day. Inquiries proved that such invi-
tations had actually been issued, and
nominations wara at onca Y,aJa h,- tb n
household for the interesting event
The day duly came, and refreshments,
apparently ordered by the young man,
were left at the house, and in the even
ing the guests all came, and assembled
in the parlor with his family, to await
the arrival of the hero of the romance.
Hour after hour was passed in waiting,
and no stranger came. Late in the
evening the young lady, eagerly watched
by her intimate companions, openly adj
mitted that she and they had devised
the entire scheme "just for fun" This
story has gone far and wide in newspa-
per columns, and the name of the fami-
ly has gone with it. The father was de-
scribed as ian old, highly-respected
and prosperous farmer" with a wife
and four children, of whom the eldest
child was this daughter of sixteen. 1t
is recorded that neither father nor
mother found any further enjoyment in
the festivities of that night, and when
the guests were gone and the parlor
lights extinguished the father told his
child plainly how she had swindled her
mother and him. 1t would have been
wise and wholesome example to the
younger children had she then and
there been spanked. .....

remarkable retentive memory, coupled
with Intellectual breadth and a ready
comprehension and natural taste for
abstruse subjects, her progress, as
might have been expected, has been
rapid and thorough. In fact, but few
male students have been able to &C

into consideration that Mrs. Foltz has

for, and for most of the time has done
her homework unassisted, and occa-

conceded that she is justly entitled to
the honors just conferred upon her by
our District Court in admitting her to
the bar of said court as full-fedged
attorney. The committee appointed to
examine her consisted of some of our
first lawyers, who subjected her to a
thorough test of her legal knowledge,
and who unanimously certified to her

Some Interesting Dates.

Dates are generally dry reading; but
there is sometimes significance in the
mere grouping of dates; and the reader
will find such significance in an atten-
tive consideration of the following
events, all occurring, he will observe,
within the limits of little over CEN
fury: Postoffices were first established
in 1864; printed musical notes were first
used in 1873; watches were first con-
structed in 1916; America was discov-
cred in 1892; the first printing press
was set up at Copenhagen in 1893; CO.
pernicus announced his discovery of the
true system of the universe in 1917; Lu-
Their was summoned before the diet of
Worms in 1921; Xavier, the first great
missionary of modern Christianity,
planted the cross in India in 1926; AL
bert Durer gave the world prophecy
of future wood engraving in 1927; Jer-
gems. set the spinning-wheel in motion
i'll 1870, the germ of all the busy wheels
and looms of ten thousand future facto-
ries Henry VIII. of England finally
and forever broke with the Pope in
1882; Ignatius Loyola founded the or
der of the Jesuits in 1885; Calvin
founded the University of Geneva in
1887; modern needles first came into
use in 1915; the first knives were used
in England, and the first-wheeled car
riages in France in 1859; Torquato Tas-
so wrote in 1860; religious liberty was
granted to the Huguenots in France in
1862, and was followed by the massa-
ere of st. Bartholomew in 1872; Ger
vantes wrote Don Quixote in 1873; the
first newspaper was published1fn En-
gland in 1888; telescopes were invented
in 1890; Spencer, Shakespeare, Bacon
Kepler, Tycho Brahe were contempt

more important headlandsin European
history within single century.-Rev

many friends of the measure, in and

the sky is clear; the reason of which is
that the earth cools faster under clear
sky than when hung over with dense
clouds, which prevent the radiation of
