AND now, of all places in the world, they have a mining excitement away deowu east, in staid old Maine, where we supposed they could raise nothing
 but brown bread, baked beans and chewing gum. A friend of MT. s. NJ. Allis, writing him of number of mines there, describes one in parlicu- lar, in Sullivan county, Maine, as fol- lows:
 It is in quarizitIc slate, near recent upheaval of some miles m extent. The vein at the bottom of the shalt is six feet wide, composed of a gangue rock of quartz and blue quartzite. The quartz bands carry some blende, and at times traces of galena, aud al all times brittle and native silver in quan- tlty,-lhe native frequently in beauIi- full punches of threads. more often in flakes and Jumps. The Jumps are in many cases true crystals of native sil- yer. The blue quartzIte contains no lead or zinc but native silver in fakes and silver glance in quantity. Incl dentally we find anIlm"nial and ruby silver and grey sulphides. We are taking out at present only about eighteen tons per week worth by aver age assays from fifty to one hundred and eighty lollars per t"n. The writer speaks of several other equally prom Ising mines.

4 Convert.

The Washington Republican had been in favor of the transfer of the Indians to the War Department up to the late inhuman massacre of Indians in charge of the army at Fort Robin. son, Nebraska. As usual the army has tried to throw the odium of thIs dastardly massacre on others but has failed. The Republican says:
 Until quite recently we have been impressed with the belief that no se- riOus mistake could be made and no increased wrong would be wrought against the Indian by a change. It may not be possible to secure the h. dians against the dishonesty of Gov. ernment agents and traders, who are incident 10 theIr management, but they can be protected against such atrocities as have recently marked their treatment at Fort Robinson un- der the auspices of the army. They were held there as prisoners until some disp siIiOn of them should be provided for It was proposed to remove them to Fo,t LeavenwOrth, and this propOsi- ton was sternly resisted by the h. dians. The prisoners consisted of men, women and children, the latter to the number of about fifty. The policy pur- sued by the officer in command to force a submission to the purpose of the Government was to withhold food for tweniy-tOur hours from all indis- and also to withdraw their fuel and expnse them alike 10 starva tipn and freezing. It was from this terribly inhuman and barbarOus treat ment that the Indians escaped when they broke away from Fort Robinson. They, no doubt, pursued the first law of nature in thelr escape, for it was an attempt iO escape a lingering death from starvation and cold They did escape from their prison and were pur- sued by the troops, and men, women, and children were Indiscriminately act which would have brought the blush of shame to any cheek save that which approves starva- ton and freezing as the agencies of enforcing a Government policy And here we desire 10 say if the treatment of the Cheyennes is sample of the war policy of dealing with the Indian remnant. we want no more of il, for 1t IS an outrage upon humanity and a shame to the nation.

NEW YOYK. January 1S-Speaking of the great fire last night, the Times says It is a curious incident that it's discover was caused by the squeak ing of terrified rats.
 This is an associated press telegram to the great city dailies. When you see it fnr the first time you gulp it down and look farther to see if you cannot glean some stray item of In- terest in the stereptyped mess gener- ally emanating from that source. But no. So you go to the mex; great daily and wade through the squeaking of the internal rats again, and similar stuff And so on ad infinitum, and when you get to the last exchange, and read for the fiftieth time how that the Times says it is a curious incident that the discovery of the fire was caused by the squeaking of terrified rats, you are in state of nervous exhaustion and wish the rats had hold of the miserable agent who telegraphed the remarkable extract from the Times across continent. It isn't that there is any particular harm in the para graph but that it's constant repetition is wearing. Of course the rats would squeak on the approach of the fire, but whats the use of telegraphing the fact. Here is a great city, with an enor- nous debt, paying for a costly fire department, and still the fire burns massive and richly stored warehouses, 10 the amount of three million dollars i; and smouidering ruins lake the place of stately structure and rich contents; {; and many are thrown out of employ ment in midwinter and enterprise is paralyzed and insurance companies swamped and there is wide spread ruin; but, "it is a curious incident that the first discovery of the fire was caused by the squeaking of terrifi, d rats. If Nero was a good violinisI when he fddled while Rome burned, he was much better fellow than this associated press agent, as music IS bel Ser than the squeaking of rats. How ever, speaking of the fire, he Times says: It is a curious incident that it's discovery was caused by the squeaking of terrified Rats"

IF the Legislature must while away the t.me let it refrain from serious Legislation injuriously affecting the finances and material interests of the Territory. and engage in harmless re creation. There is the Moffeit Bell Punch which might be legislated into existence. This Punch is 8 favorite wherever adopted. It is set up in saloons, and as drinks are dispensed they are registered on the Bell Punch. Then at stated periods an officer in- poets the Punch, and the saloon keep CT is taxed for the commonwealth one cent, or any stated amount, tor every drink sold. There is no pos slbilily of tsmpering with the instru- ment. Wherever adopted it becomes favorite institution, more particularly with the prOprietOrs of saloons, whom it protects from the constant pecula liou of their assistants. The Punch in this Territory would probably yield an annual revenue of from forty tO fifty thousand dollars. We do not par ticularly advocate it.

The Southern Prcifc.

Among the official documents sent tO the Senate by Secretary Schurz, in answer tO a resolution inquiring by what authority railroad is being con- structed through the pubic domain in
 Arizona Territory, are two letters from R gister PoSton, of the Florence Land Office. dated November 19lh and 23d, in which he enclOses to the CnmmiS- sioner of the General Land Office cer- tam profile maps filed by Charles CrOcker, President of the Southern Pacific ttailroad Company of Arizona, as having been adOpten by that com pany for construction of the road, un- der authority of the general law of March ,, 1875, granting fright of way through the public lands tO any com pany duly incorporated by any State or Territorial authority" Register Pos ton in each letter says the survey of the proposed road Is within the limits of the grant of Congress 10 the Texas Pacific Railroad Company, and there fore, in submitting the case for instruc- tihns. Secretary SchurZ informs the Senate that no action has been taken on any of these maps, and that he has not received a copy of the organiza- tiOn papers of the company, but is in formed hy Huntington that copy will be furnished at an early day Secre- iary SchuIz also transmits to the Sen ale a letter from the Secretary of the Territory, stating that the company are pushing the road as fast as possi- hle. and expect to reach Maricopa Wells by Summer, when they will stop work for awhile. The resolution off inquiry was offered by Butler of South Carolina. in behalf of the Texas Pacif- ic managers. as a means of cmbarrass- ing or possibly preventing the further of this road over Scouts land grant, but, from present appear ances is nor likely to be effectual.

Patagonia.

The mines in the Patagonia noun. tains are attracting great deal of at- teniion. The ledges of this district are among the largest and best defined in the Territory, and the facilities for working them are unequsled. There is an unlimited quantity of wood and timber at hand. a plentiful supply wa ter, unequaled grazing facilities and one of the most delightful and health ful climates on the continent. Prior to the civil war, the Mowry mine in the Patagonia district was worked proflably. and during the time it was in operation about a thousand people derived support therefrom. But con- plications growing out of that unfor- tunate struggle led to the shutting down of the mine.
 During the past two years many new discoveries have been made showing ores of a rnuch richer quality than the Mowry mine; he quantity seems tn be practically inexhsustlble and il does appear that all that is required to make this one of the most prominent mining districts is capital we'll direct ed to erect the proper machinery for reducing the ores. MT. Frank Corbin of Connecticut, who with others owns the America and Blue Nose m nes, recently visited the district and has put force of men al work on them. The Washington mine was sold some time ago to parties in San Francisco, and is one of the very best mines Tn the district. IL carries immense bodies of rich ore of a good quality, and iS most favOrably located for working Before the purchase the mine WIS ex- amIned and reported favorably upon by several experienced and careful mining experts. We hope that soon the necessary capital may be furnish ed 10 place tbis valuable mine among the dividend paying mines of the Ter ritory.

Daisies.

Not alway by the wayslde
 Where a common world has trod, Soiled by taInt Of earthly contact,
 Looks the daisy up to God. Far away in fragrant meadows,
 Where the cooling breezes pass, Signing with a dreamy music,
 Through the tremulous, wavy grass. Where the rose and gold of morning And the pearly twIlighis fall, Radiant in her dewy splendor,
 Grows the daisy fair and tall. No: nione where toll and conflict
 Show the prints Of busy feet, And the great heart tide unceasinR Ebbs and flows with restless beat. Far away where lonely beauty
 Starlight pale is shining through, In a holy revelation,
 Hearts grow swiflest toward the blue Many thought is born of silence
 And the gloom Of weary hours, Reaching up 10 God and heaven,
 Like the whiteneSs Of the flowers.

Effect of Imagination

To regain or to recover health,
persons should be relieved from all
anxiety concerning diseases. The
mind has much influence over the
body. 70. n person to think he
has disease may produce disease.
This we see effected when the mind
is intensely concentrated on the
disease Of another,
1t is found in hospitals that ply
sicinns who make Il speciality OF
certain diseases arc liable to die Of
them themselves; and the mental
power is so great that sometimes
peoplc die from q disease which
they have only in imagination.
Persons have been known who
have become fcasick, In anticipn-
ton of n voyage before reaching
the vessel.
We have known person to die
from imagining he had a cancer
in his stomach, when he had no
cancer or any other mortal dis
ease.
4 blindfoldcd man, slightly
prickcd in the arm, has tainted and

Reading Il medical book contain
ing descriptions Of certain diseases
has often produced the symptoms
even among tho young medical
students, while they at last got the
disease, unless it was stopped by
the common sense treatment.
Therefore, well persons, to re-
main well, should he cheerful and
happy, and sick persons should
have their attention drawn US much

directed on subjects cheerful to
contemplate.

Faulkner made the following per
iinont remarks relative to the NJ
tempt to disorgani1c the Demo-
cratic party:
Inmany parts ofthe Stato,nnl os-
pccialIy in the Third Congressional
District, organizations were formed
and axe still forming, whose avow'
cd purpose is to break down and
destroy the Democratic party Of
West Virginia. The new party,
composed Of Il full share of disap-
pointed Democratic Office seekers
prorrss9s not to ho satisfied with
the ability and good faith Of the
old Democratic party to relieve The
people, yet, perehing itself to n
large extent upon our own plat
form, it proposes to push our poll
cy to extreme measures, which we
do not believe 10 be practicable
and wise. Tho only effect of this
new organization, ii persisted in
is TO create divisions amongst those
who ought to act together, md to
give the State TO the Republicans
II is = rule or ruin policy. Such
movements may accomplish rcr'
sonal and selfish ends in particular
counties, districts and perhaps i'll
one or two States, hut as National
party, it cannot be said to have an
existence. It docs not command
one State in tho North and West,
land the Solid South looks to the
Democratic party, alone, for relief
He said for his part::hc hal not lost
faith in the old Democratic party
whenever fairly tried, it had never
been found wanting. For near
twenty years it had been out Of
power, and was not responsible for
a single evil under which the coun'
try now labors. Whenever it gets
in full possession of tho govern
mcnt it will give the people NIL the
relief which sound and honest lics-
islation can give them. lie saw
no results from the present move
ments Of the dissatisfied Democrats
hut to secure the continued tri-
umph of Republican policy. II
They preferred thai result to the
success Of the Democracy il would
DO more manly to unite with the
Republicans at once, Ifc had no
fancy fox these new and untricd
organizations, while the Old ono OF
approved merit was fully compc'
tent to do what was right. lie was
for fighting for Democratic prin-
ciplcs under the Democratic flag.
