@ With God all things are possible, and if
we W seek His grace we shall not read with blank
unbelief the words of the Apostle II beseech
you, brethren, by the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and
that there be no divisions among you but that
ye be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment.

A TEMPERANCE ESERMoN.-Manyy years ago,
Col. Lehmanousky, who had been twenty-three
years in the army Of Napoleon Bonaparte, arose
in temperance meeting, tall, vigorous, and
with glow of health on his face, and made
the following speech:
s'You see before you a man of seventy years.
I have fought two hundred battles have four
teen wounds on my body; have lived thirty
days on horse flesh, with the bark OF trees for
bread, snow and ice for drink, the canopy OF
heaven for my covering, without shoes or
stockings on my feet, and only a few rags on
for clothing.
'sIn the desert of Egypt l have marched for
days, with the burning sun upon my naked
head feet blistered in the scorching sand,
and with eyes, nostrils and mouth filled with
dust, and with a thirst so tormenting that
have opened the veins on my arms, and sucked
my own blood.
''Do you ask how survived all these nor.
rors I answer that, under the providence OF
God, l owe my preservation, my health and
vigor, to this fact that I never drank drop
of spirituous liquor in my life and, continued
he, "Baron Larrey, chief surgeon OF the
French army, has stated as fact, that the SIX
thousand survivors who safely returned from
Egypt were all of them men who abstalned
from ardent drink"

We received subscription to the Id
roct.ie, last week, from Republican. We
have number Of The most earnest Repub-
Leans in the county upon our list. In his
note the writer took occasion to remark !
~ like everything about your paper except
It's politics, which difference Of opinion, you
know, is right we accord to one another"
Il is good to tolerate the views Of each
other, as far as we can, however they may
differ from our own Free thought, free
speech, ffea press, frank avowals-these
are the elements for truth to live in; she
win live 10 no other. Men cannot think
alike. 1t is a part of the divine economy
that it is so. Our politics are democratic
a creed, which, as it is sometimes epigram'
matically put, seeks "lhe greatest good Of
the greatest number 1t holds that all
power reposes in the people; that govern
ments are instituted amongst men for the
benefit Of the governed. " That govern
ments not SO instituted are not legitimate.
It holds that all government, municipal,
county, State, or national-ought to be
administered with the strictest regard to
economy and honesty, for the good Of the
people alone. That all men are equal
before the law--not morally, mentally, oil
physically; and that the rights of the hum
blest citizen are as sacred as those of the
most powerful or afluent.
This is ,ar creed in politics. Il is the
democratic creed, and We are sure that
such a system of politics must commend
itself to all right-thinking men, provided
Of course, that they properly understand it
But, the bias Of education, association
Misrepresentation, and the binding inAu
enees of prejudice and party zeal, some
times come between our mental vision anS
the truth, and obstruct and becloud tina
which might otherwise have been trans
pareutly clear. 1t must be admitted
howcyer-truth requires the admission
that parties, like individuals, do not Away
live up to their creed But, "let him tha
is guiltless cast the first stone" Ifstone
were thrown by the @guiltlOss' only, "
apprehend the number would be very few
Beyond doubt, there would be less erin
iuatiou and reerimination than there is a
nreeant

The American Cattle Export Trade.

England, France, Italy and Germany,
are all alarmed, or pretend to be, on ac-
count Of alleged pleuro pneumonia in
American cattle shipped abroad, aud trieh-
ina in swine, England has forbid the
shipment, and a similar policy is under
discussion in the other countries named
How mitch of this policy is due to jealousy
Of expanding Americas trade, cannot be
determined, but its origin is traced to cat
tie breeders and dealers. A cry for food
from the populace, in England and on the
continent, may at some not remote day,
bring the authors of this prohibitory policy
to their senses. American beef is under
selling the English article in their own
markets, while in Germany hams are re-
failing at 81 cents per pound, and when
cut at GO cents, while here they are selling
at only IL cents A New York lettel
says:
There appears to be but little alarm among
shippers here with reference TO the cattle
'pague scare. The prohibition in Italy Of the
importation OF American swine, as well as the
movement in France to prohibit the importa.
ton Of American cattle, will not affect ship
pers here to any great extent, as the exports
10 those countries do not amount to much.

Republican journals are very much dis
gusted with the testimony of General Bar
low, who appears to have imbibcd the
idea that he was sent to Florida to sec an
honest count--ihe Republican idea being
to give the state to Hayes by throwing
out all the Democratic votes. Although
General Barlow was sent to Florida on
this hypothesis he had honesty and in.
telligenee enough to sec that Mr.. Tildeu
had carried the state and too much respect
for the truth TO deny il. lie is consc.
quently looked upon as a traitor to his party

Congress has been at fever heat for some
days past, on the subject of the repeal Of
the obnoxious election and jury test oath
laws. The agony will be over next week,
unless The Republican Senate shall force
an extra session. The repeal of the su-
pcrvisors of election law passed the House
on Tuesday. The Senate will probably
not concur. The law was passed originally
by carrying itthrough appended TO an ap-
preparation bill, 10 1872 1t ought to be
repealed in the same way. The right Of
Congress to protect the liberties of the
people and ofthc States by tightening the
purscstrings, is one of the most salutary

THE CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL.
A JOYOUS GATHERING In THE
MINERS UNION HALL,
Books and Candies for All the
School Pupils Something Not
On the Programme.

The hall of the Silver City Miners
Union was crowded to its utmost ca
pacity, last Monday evening, on the
occasion of the school children's
presentation festival. About s O'Clock
the assemblage was called to order
by Mrs. Hornick, teacher of the in
termediate department of the public
school, who announced the programme
for the evening. Each pupi. was to
step to the stage as its name was
called, and receive the presents al
lottcd to it. After the distribution
of presents "cry-baby" worth about
$50 would be ratified for at twenty
five cents chance to provide funds
to pay for the use of the hall, as they
did not wish to avail themselves of
the generous offer of the Miners
Union to use the hall free of charge !;
and the exercises would conclude
with dance, in which all present
were invited to JOIN. The pupils
were then called up, when each
received book and a sackfull of
choice candy, the subject of the book
being snited to the age of the recipi-
ent. The rattle followed, and the
doll was won by Lizzie Durrenberger,
young miss who evidently priced it
highly, as she refused SEQ in coin
which was offered for it on the spot.
Dancing then began and was con-
tinued until about midnight.
A pleasant occurrence which was
not on the programme was the pres
entation of handsome silk scarf to
each lady who had assisted in getting
up the concert to procure the funds
with which to purchase the presents.
Mrs. Hornick also found, among the
children's presents, back hair-comb
with her name engraved upon il,
which had been placed there by some
unknown friendly hand. All who
attended were well pleased with the
entertainment.

we'll adapted to the purpose Of its
manufacture. 1t consists of lump
of clay secured to rod, which is
kept immersed in coal oil. When
the fire is ready, match is applied
to the clay, and flame about twelve
inches in diameter. which burns for
an hour, is the result. As soon as
the fire is well under way, the light
er is removed. The implement can
be of use to all who have - light
fires, and to those who cannot do 20
without using coal oil. it is almost

MINING STOCKS.
The Certainty OF Getting Money
Properly Invested in Them
Back Again, With Interest.

The San Francisco correspondent
of the New York Times writes to
that journal, under date of Decem-
Der 9th, among other things, the fol-
lowing:
If you buy mining stocks at low
price on speculation and they go up,
sell, or forever after hold your peace.
If they go down. don't get panicky
and telegraph to have your stock
sold-hold on to it. and the chances
are that sooner or later you will
come out even, or possibly ahead, for
the market huctuates with the GER
tainty and regularity Of the tide
bound TO come up, no matter how
low or how panicky it may get.
We had these panics and knock
downs 90 often we are like the cells
rather enjoy them. We have, like a
hard drinker, sworn off so often, and
gone in again just as recklessly, that
there is no reliance in us. When
you hear an old citizen here say,
"Well, I'm done with these blank
stocks; never again will | put a dol
lar into them. so help me-" you may
safely hazard that if little advance
takes place in any particular stock,
he will hypothecate the family plate,
and be the first man in.

Died on the Eve Of the New Year

Marie E., daughter of Lucas and
Noemi Fontecilla, died in this city
last Monday morning, aged IA years
and IL months. Miss Fontecilla had
been an invalid from her infancy, and
her death has been daily expected
for some time past. The news of her
demise therefore caused no surprise
to the large circle of friends who
esteemed her for her many amiable
qualities. The disease which finally
carried her off was dropsy of the
heart. Her remains were buried in
the Silver cemetery yesterday after,
noon.
