 From Saturday 1 B. m. to II D. m. Powell made 73 miles, making his total score 800 miles Ennis made 80 miles, making bis total score 475 miles, and Hartman made 60 miles, making his total score 450 miles. Much ill feeling was evinced against Powell during the match, but the police kept the mob element from resorting to violence. At the opening of the match it was believed that OLeary would win, and his sudden break down was 8 disappoint- ment to his many friends who had bet heavily upon him. During the first day Powell was eff the track only three hours, Ennis four and half and Hartman three and half hours. All the rest of the twenty-four hours was used in walking. As the match pro- gressed the contestants were obliged to take longer rests, but the time spent upon the track was so great as to cause astonishment that any constitution could stand the terrible strain.
 The walking time of Powell during the match was 102 hours his resting time 39 hours Ennis walked 106 hours

 There are few professional bleachers of fabrics in the United States. The word "bleaching |" im- plies the art of extracting vegetable animal mat constitute all different fabrics. This is done by regular chemical process, consisting first of aka line boilings; second, immersions in solutions of chloride of lime third, solutions of acids. After each process the goods receive thorough rinsing clear water then last of all processes to thorough ly extract all in furious matter that of boiling in good soap and water This leaves the goods pure and white as snow, ready to finish for the market Now the q9estion M M arises can those 1a9ries again answer, no; impossible. Then, why is it tasks the housewife) my clothes become yellow and discol- ored? There are many reasons-poor soap, hard water, careless servants not having strength to rub out the dirt yourselves, and not being able to water by hand bot enough to keep the fabric expand ed to the extent which is absolutely requisite to thoroughly extract the dirt or, housewives say, "bleach the clothes.''

Commander Blake thought, however, that the destructiveness of torpedoes was over estimated, and that the navies of the world would survive this in vention, just as they have survived the introduction of explosive shells, which, years ago, was supposed to sound the death-knell of every war vessel. In reply to some questions asked by one of the members, Commander Blake said that after the close of the war he was left in charge of the operations for clearing the channel of James River from obstructions. The Confederates had driven piles across the river and sunk enormous blocks of granite, form- ing solid bulk-head which nothing could pass. At first it seemed impossible to move this; but by successive firing of torpedoes alongside of it it was com- pletely shattered in weeks time, so that ships were able to pass. A charge of one hundred pounds of common powder was found most effective, and he had seen such charge, exploded in four or five fathoms of water, bring a rock of two tons weight to the surface. At one spot an ironclad had been sunk in water so shallow that her upper works were almost out of water. Re- peated efforts to blow hole in her side failed, her iron plating was too tough. Finally series of torpedoes were ex-
 
 her, until hole thirty feet deep had been excavated. Then a line of torpedoes was hung along her opposite side, and the force of their simultaneous explosion rolled her over into this grave and buried her there, out of all danger.

CONGRESSIONAL ORATOR

The speeches made daily in congress
are not delivered for the purpose of in
fluencing the members in their way Of
voting. The democrats have always
determined matters by caucus, and
the measures 20 through according to
programme. The republicans are
forced to take q stand in opposition be-
cause the laws and safeguards reared
by their party are threatened with de-
struction. Each side would vote the
same il not a speech were delivered.
Why, then, all the talk? 1t is simply
a part of the political campaigns of the
future. The congressional miniatures
of D~emosthenes and Cicero merely talk
to the people. Conkling was the only
man honest enough to say so. AL the
others labor as earnestly as if the eager
listeners Of the OPPOSITE ton were open to
conviction. But there is no conviction.
Each party acts on the offensive or de-
fensive, as the needs of politics de-
mand. Party measures are not neces-
sarily embedded in reason. The posi-
tion of the democracy to-day, is alien to
logic. MI. Hayes has twice shown that
under the present laws military inter
ference with the freedom of just elec-
tions is impossible. Yet the democ-
racy persist in asserting the contrary,
and endeavor to repeal laws to such an
extent that the freedom o%f.riie clubs,
red shirts, and white leagues, to run
elections in southern states IS pleaseth
them best shall not be abridged. Ev-
erybody knows that they are conscien-
tious in the belief, ~ that nc negro
should vote; unless (2), he votes the
democratic ticket. All other votes are in
fringem ents on the patent rightof the
democracy south of Mason & Dixon's
line.
1t is natural then, for the republican
congressman to solidly oppose any such
measures. They will continue to OPP
pose though o~ratory be heaped noun
tain high. There can be no conviction
in such a condition of affairs. Hence
all the speeches that are made are in
tended for the country. They fall
heedlessly on the ears of congressman,
except when points are made which
warrant replies.

THE Colorado papers have got down
to a regular discussion on the question
of negro emigration. The republican
papers all favor it, the democratic pa
pers oppose; and whyp Simply because
the negro is black, and a sanctified DEM
ocrat can't tolerate anything darker in
color than old rye. Then the negro
commits the objectionable crime of
voting the republican ticket. That is
enough to influence all good democrats
against him. But they develop the
state all the same, and they are the
making of good citizens.

AN EAST TENEEssEAN IN LUCK.
DIsc0yvr5 of Lead dimes on His Land
in Kansas.

in Kansas
From the Cherokee (Kas.) Herald
we clip the following. The owner of
the land upon which the lead mines
were discovered is Mr.. William NJ.
CUwau, who as formerly a UItIz=n
of Sewer County. We congratulate
the gentleman upon his lucky hit.
Go where they may, East Tennesseans
always light en- their feet:
Last week it began to be rumOred
that Mr.. James Pitzer had discovered
lead about nine miles southeast of
this city, between here and Short
Creek, on the west side of Spring
River. The rumor at first was dis
credited, but on Friday and Saturday
several large chunks of fine galena
were brought in, and parties went out
from this city to investigate. The re-
port was confirmed and fact establish
ed that Mr.. Pitzer, of this city, had at
the depth of about twenty feet struck
what appears to be the best lead mines
In the country. Then began the eX-
element, aud we hear scarcely any
thing else but new mines.
ON Tuesday we visited the already
famous mines, in order to give our
readers a description of the new won
der. We found the mines situated in
Lowell township, about One-half mile
east of LOstine School House, about
one mile from the Boston Mills, and
the same distance from Eley's Ford,
about three.quarters of q mile from
Spring River, and about nine miles
from this city.
{" We found a crowd of about three
hundred men on the ground, composed
of miners, country people, spectators,
sc. At the discovery shaft two or
three miners were drawing up water,
lead and rock, about equal quantities,
there being about ], 900 pounds of fine
galena already brought to the surface.
The vein seems to have been struck
about 16 feet from the top of The
ground, and its depth had not y ct been
ascertained. The lead is of an excel
lent quality, and old miners from
Short Creek, Joplin and CRANKY all
saying it is the best prospect they ever
saw.
About 90 acres of land has already
been surveyed into mining los, all of
which are probably taken before this
time. Other leases are being obtained
in tina vicinity, lumber is being
brought upon the ground and houses
built. The excitement Is constantly
on the increase, and if the develops
ment continues we may expect gen.
eral rush to the new mides.
The effect on the citizens of this
place hes been almost magical. The
discovery OF rich mines on this side of
the river and the prospect of other de-
velopments even nearer this city has
awakened us to some extent to the
mineral interest of this county, and
our duty to look after the interests of
Columbus in the matter. A large
number of Columbus men have
secured lots, hacks are running night
and day to the new mines, and Pitzsr
City is the general theme"
