Prof. Tice says that we are to have
on that night the most brilliant me
toric display ever seen since 1888,
when to all intents and purposes the
sky literally rained fire. The dis
play for this year will not commence

sEbF-MADE MEN.

Self made men are more certain
than others OF auccess in life for the
reason that is, so to speak, they ere
more thoroughly made. That is ia
say, with them the formation of char.
acter is more solid because it is the
result Of severe discipline, of de
termined will, of settled purpose
1t is not the mere accumulation of
the teachings of others, to which,
too often only lazy and drowsy at
tention has been given.
The self made man starts at the
bottom. He not only has to learn
by himself how to ascend the steep
aud rugged stairs before him, but he
has to rack bis brain how to con-
struct the stairs themselves by which
he shall ascend.
Hence he understands more accu-
rately than another, all the condi-
tions of success His attention be-
comes more fixed His thoughts are
habitually concentrated on whatever
he undertakes. His judgment is
matured by the necessity imposed
upon him for its constant exercise.
He is wary and watchful, and rO>
bust in all his being, as the gymoast
By constant exercise excels in the
development of muscle.
Hence it is that the community
feel greater confidence in self made
men, There is common feeling
that be who has succeeded against
great odds, who has made his mark
where those possessed of many ads
vantages over him have failed to
make theirs, must possess in himself
remark able elements of success, -
And the community are right. The
self-made men are on the whole the
safest to be intrusted with great un.
dertakings. The stuff OF which they
are made has been tested and has
been found to be Of the durable kind.

A LIVING WONDER
a Child with Broken Neck, Eats,
Sleeps and Walks.

In the iowa of Marion there is per
haps the only living specimen of a
person with broken neck. The
wonderful subject of this sketch is a
little boy, the son of Southern pa
rents, who are visitors to the town
mentioned. Several years since, by
an accident the particulars of which
we have not been able to obtain, the
chiid's neck was broken and the ge
mas of a surgeon was called into re.
QUESTION to supply some means by
which the little fellow could live in
his unfortunate condition. Iron and
steel bars were arranged, running up
the spine and clasping on either side
of the face, thus holding the head in
its wonted position, and thus lives on
the little boy, now ten or twelve
years of age. Sometime since the
frame work used to sustain the posts
ton of the head was broken and the
head tell TO one side, cutting Oft the
power of speech. The mother took
the little one in her lap and held it's
head in a natural position until the
clasp was mended when all went rs
previously, We had never imagined
such a thing as person living with
a broken neck and presume there
never wac, at least in this country,
an instance such as the one just re,
lated. We get our information di
rect from Marion, and can vouch for
the veracity of our informant, to
whom such particulars as we have
related were given. - WytheUiIle En-

LnADv1LLE AND IT'S MINES.

Although bat little over a year
old, Leadville, the centre Of business
population for the new silver mining
districts in Colorado, contains already
over ten thousand inhabitants, whilst
working 10 the mines or prospecting
among the hills there is aaid to be
eight thousand people more who look
to Leadvile for their supplies. This
mountain town, or rather mining
camp, for. built up with all sorts Of
rude structures hastily improvised,
it can scarcely be called a town, lies
in the midst of the mountains 3, 800
feet above the sea level. These
mountains are said TO TEEN with ar
gentiFerous galena {silver mixed with
lead) and with carbonates of silver.
They are already honeycombed
around Leadville, with holes and
shafts opened by prospectors and
subsequ nily abandoned; but sixty
mines are paying well, and some of
them are turning out ore which is
to be enormously rich
10 silver. The value of yield of sill
yer up to August |, 1879, is put at
ten millions of dollars, but with the
force now at work the product is es-
timated at million and a half of dol-
lars per month. Three railroads are
already pushing toward Leadville,
and one has gotten within thirty
miles of it. All the mountains not
yet explored are supposed to be
equally rich in silver, but the climate
is so cold that the warmest cloths
ing aud overcoat are in need every
day in the year, and the air is SO
rarfied that only robust persons can
breathe it with impunity.

SEE IT. DON'T YOU ?

The editor of the Lewisburg IN,
W Chronicle tells why country news
papers have TO charge more than city
newspapers, as follows: ave are
often asked by well meaning people
why they have to pay higher for
country newspapers than for those
printed in cities. "Why do you
charge $500 a year for the Chroni>
Gle, when can get the New York
Sockdologer--a bigger paper-for
$1.509 We will try to clear up this
mystery. Suppose the Chronicle
has cash subscription of 1000 at
81 0O-that makes $1,000 Well
now suppose the New York Sock
dologer or whatever paper you
choose for a comparison, has pay~
ing list of 100000 at 81 so at $l.50
that makes that 100000. Now
suppose this city paper has profit
on each subscriber of ten cents
that clears the publisher $4,000 ;
but suppose the Chronicle realizes
that percentage and no more-that
would make a sum of 500. This
latter amount would compel coun-
try printer to live very thin him"
self and squander nothing on bis
family, while his city contemporary
would wax fat as Seshurum. You
now see the necessity of a country
printer charging more than city
paper, don't you9 A paper the size
of the Chronicle, with its circulation
and price, couldn't live one night in
a city"
The above is very good so far as
it goes. tits we'll to state, however,
that the "cheap" weeklies of the
large cities are made up almost ex'
clusively of matter previously put in
type for the daily edition of the
same paper, so that it really costs
the publishers nothing for type~set-
ting, whilst that is the principal ex~
pense in the publication of cOun-
try paper.

THOMAS Wilson, Of Baltimore, out
lived his wife and all his children,
and the other day died at the age of
91-leaving $2,000,000 to be dis
uibuted among distant relatives and
public charities, and also to found
some additional charities. He gave
his poor relatives, who needed help,
about 100000 to remember him by.
Among tho proposed new charities
are a sanitarium for the children OF
the poor-S500, 200 endowment, and
fuel saving society, 5000, 900. for
the benefit of the poor. Wilson
made most of his fortune by dealing
in coal, and the fuel saving society
was a thoughtful return for benefits
received for the coal trade. His in>
structions are to use the interest OF
this fund in the purchase Of coal
when it is cheapest, and deal it out
to the deserving poor at cost price
when fuel is dearest. Wilson also
arranged by will to provide poor wo-
men with sewing machines.
