Beecher in the Mines.

t'''-'''''' A-''N 81 'ilI'lli' l''l
This morning, at 10 O'clock, Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher and his wife,
accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Pond
superintendent Patton, aud reporter
of the Chronicle, visited the bonanza
mines. When the party reached the
dressing-roOms of the g. and G. shaft
they paused a moment. When shown
the rough clothes which are placed at
the disposal OF visitors Mr.. Beecher
said: All right; this suits me; hurry
up, now" In a few minutes the dressing
was completed, and Mr. Beecher re-
marked that if he knew where the pay
office was he'd go and draw some wages.
All hands soon got on the cage, and
getting off at the drift which connects
with the bonanza mines, Mr.. Beecher
was particularly anxious to gain infor-
nation about mining matters, and piled
Mr.. Patton with questions on each de-
tail that came beneath his notice. Moth
ing escaped his eye, and he wanted a
reason for everything. After a while
Mr.. Patton's face wore troubled ex-
preston, and he seemed to have an idea
that the inquisitive divine was a spy
sent out by some of the New York bro
kers to get points on the mines.
Presently the party reached a drift
where the heat was intense. and Mr..
Beecher began to think that after all he
had not knocked the bottom entirely out
Of hell.

that was left for Mr. Beecher to do was

well, and said she rather liked IT. The
TACT Of the matter was that Mr. Pond
had determined to revolutionizc Mr..
Bcecher's idea about hell. and. taking
the hint from Mr. Patton. had dressed
him with thick, warm clothes. and the
result was that the unfortunate man
was almost sunOcatcd.
The word was soon passed along the
drifts among the miners that Bcecher
wac there and when the party returned
20 the cooling station, scores Of the
miners were gathered at the spot to get

4 Diplomatic Cigar,

Bismarck's attitude i'm Parliament has
been much noticed at Court. The King.
Frederick William ", had taken a
great liking to the ,Tunker, and when
the post of Prussian Minister Mt Frank
fort became vacant, he thought of offer
ing 1T TO Bismarck. He was rather
surprised, however, when this latter
without asking time for reflection, de.
clared himself ready to accept the Kings
proposal. But you are aware that it
Is very difficult post, and it involves
great responsibility said the King.
" Your Majesty may at all events give
me chance" replied Bismarck; off

time" The position which he at once
assumed at Frankfort created consider
able establishment there. Austria was Mt
that time the ruling power i'm the
BUndesrdth, and the minor German states
not only suffered this, as being legitimate
and unavoidable, but they actually
favored the pretensiOns of Austria: for
they saw the House of Hapsburg their
natural protector against the Hohenzol-
Tern. The last representative of Prussia
at the Bund had not been able TO resent
this, and had quietly consented to plav

Austrian Minister, and President Of the
Bund, being Enthusiastically No. 1 This

WHY SUBMIT TO THE DISCOMFORT, and
humiliation entailed by local disease OF
the skin, when GLENN's SULPHER SOAP
will rid you of it with certainty and de-
spatch 1t is remedy which never fails
to relieve cutaneous disease, and, as a
means of banishing defects of the COM
plexlon. it is equally reliable. The bene-
tits arising from the use of Sulphur Baths,
IN cases Of skin disease, and of rheuma-
tlsm and govt, are we'll known, but the
cost is too heavy to be incurred by many
persons who would otherwise take advan-
tage OF them. GLENN's SULPHER SOAP
answers the same purpose. and is both
inexpensive and convenient. No one
need stir abroad in search of a sulphur
bath who has this admirable means of
providing one in doors. It is incom parably
the deodorizer and disinfectant of clothing
and bed linen in use, and prevents diseases
OF an obnoxious nature caused bycontact So
res, ulcers, bruises. scalds cuts and sprains
arepromtly remedied by it; aud its clearly,
healing and soothing properties constitute
1t tar more desirable remedy for scorbutic
ailments than olntments of any description,

THE GUN CLUB.
Break Glass Balls for Game Supper.
L. Harms Winner of the. Champion
Gold Badge.

The gun club of this city is one of the
best in the state and probably counts
among its members some of the best shots
in the state. Every man among them can
stand up and drop more birds within the
bounds or smash more glass than any
other equal number from any club in the
west Such was the idea in the minds of
the members of the club yesterday when
Sam Porter and B, Rodman chose sides
and contested for game supper
at the Rock Island House in the evening.
which came off according to programme
and was, besides being a fine banquet, an
enjoyable social gathering of the contestants
and few invited friends, numbering in all
about forty men. In this iparticuIar part
of the programme everybody showed a
good score, and took down his quail on
toast, other edibles. delicacies, fruit and
confectionery without a miss. In the
glass ball part of the programme there
was wide difference in score as the follow
ing will show:
Capt. Porter IA. Eckerman TO- Sturgeon
IL, Wagner IA, Craig Is, Bruner ~.
Mitchell II, Butler Is, Wolff 9, Chamber
lin IL, Schmidt Is, Wheeler 9, T. j.
Rodman II, Reticker 10. Koch s, Everett
IL, Gregg -. Total 1913.
Capt B. Rodman 10, Frantz Is, Mills IL,
Hitler Is, Harson 10, L. NJ Buford -,
Harms Is, Jennings z, G Buford IL. Negus
7, Dafin Is, MarSton Is, Gordon IL, HAYES
10, Aawley 3, Webster 0, Meggs 5.Koehler
8. Total 1872.
Mr., Thomas of the Coal Valley club
was referee, and DR.. Carter, of this city,
scorer
The terms of the match were fifteen
balls each, the best shot to receive the
champion gold medal; each man to shoot
against the one holding the corresponding
number on the other side. According to
these terms, the scores of Reticker and
Wheeler were deducted from Capt. Por-
ter's side, and the scores of Hawley and
Meggs from Capt. Rodmaus side; this left a
tie, TIA each.
The diplomacy or strategy of Capt
Porter was then questioned in the fact
that Capt. Koehler's score could net be
counted as he had shot after the referee
and others bad gone, while his correspond
ing number, Prof Everett, had shot at
the proper time. 1t was decided to throw
out both scores which gave the victory to
Capt. Rodman by three balls.
To become owner of the champion gold
badge Mr.. Harms must win it two times
more in succession shooting against the
whole club. The entertainment closed
with resolution of thanks to the referee
for his impartial decisions and to the pro.
prietors of the Rock Island House for the
excellence Of the supper. Aud, it is up-
derstood that Capt. Porter's side will try
the contest again, while ten or fifteen
members propose to make Mr.. Harms
look well to his champion badge.
