The property of this Company consists of twelve mines and mining locations, located in Lake County, Colorado, in the vicinity of Lead. vile, upon all of which extensive work has been done, in all cases exhibiting true Assure veins, good pay streak, and well defined lodes,
 Three of the leading mines are well opened up and have at the lowest computation over TEN THOUSAND TONS OF ORB IN SIGHT; by May 1st, the Railroad now under construc- tion will be within a short distance of this property.
 The Company proposes to sell portion of it's stock at $1.50 per share for the purpose of more completely developing it's mines. and for the erection of works for the treatment of it's ores.
 Application for the stock may be made to the office of the Company, 61 Broadway. New York. N. B.--Ihe Miaing Record, of New York, the highest mining authority in this country, says Feb. 1st, 1879: The principal owners in this company arc hard working men who by their own labor have uncovered large bodies of orc | which they now wish to extract and send tc \ market.

agitation. The Southern people are desir-
GUS of restoration of fraternity between
the sections. The only cause of their
estrangemen has been tho constant hbels
that have been heapsd upon them by the
INSCRIPTIONS politicians Of the North, who
have made the bloody shirt their
stock in trade. The people of that
section are as loyal to the republic
to-day as are the people of the North. They
would defend the honor of the governmen mt
as valiantly as would an equal number of
people at the North. Bat it is n othing more
than human nature to expect that, feeling
themselves maligned, they should cherish a
feeling of resentment towards those who I'M
Justly accuse them.
The best policy that Congress can pursue
at the present session is to do as little as pos
sible. General legislation is not needed, and
only measures of relief for special cases
should be considered. Every member should
bear in mind the trite but truthful saying of
Talleyrand, "The world is governed too
much," and act accordingly. If he sees an
oDuSo VI poWoI VI olAclaA CoSltlOn, ue SuOulu,
before offering bill for its remedy, consult
the laws already on our statute books and
see if they are not adequate. Our system Of
government is by no means perfect, but it
will be found on investigation that there is
little need for extra legislation at this session
of Congress. We would most heartily rec
ommend the adoption of the do-nothing pol
icy except as to measures that call for action
as means of sustaining and keeping in mo-
ton the due functions of the government.

Mark TtCdin U7aG DR.. Holmes.


Even Mark Twain, whose individuality
was supposed to be decidedly marked, is a
plagarist. he admits it. he even boasts it.
At the breakfast given to DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Twain made an open confession:
"When my first book was new a friend of
mine said: The dedication is very neat.
Yes, 1 said, l thought it was. Ny friend
said: Il always admired it, even before I
saw it in the "Innocents Abroad" l
naturally said, what do you mean? Where
did you ever see it before?' well, I saw it
first some years ago, as MIR. Holmes dedica-
ii to his "Songs in Many Keys" OF
course my first impulse was to prepare this
mans remains for burial, but upon reflection
said would reprieve him for mo-
ment or two, and give him chance to prove
his assertion if he could. We stepped into a
bookstore, and he did prove it. had really
stolen that dedication almost word for word.
could not imagine how this curious thing
had happened. For knew one thing for a
dead certainty: That certain amount of
pride always goes along with a teaspoonful
of brains, and that this pride prevents man
from deliberately stealing other peoples
ideas. That is what a teaspoonful of brains
will do for man; and admirers had often
told me had nearly a basketfrl, though they
were rather reserved as to the size of the
basket" Twain gave an explanation, the
usual one. He had read Holmes poems
until he was certainly satisfied with their
flavor, and he unconsciously stole the dedi-
cation. Perhaps" adds Twain, :" uncon-
sciously stole the rest of the volume, too, for
many people have told me that my book was
pretty Poetical, in one way or another" The
offender wrote to DR.. Holmes explaining lis
feat of grand larceny, and received . much
kinder reply than DR.. Parker gave DR.. Lori
mer. 81 afterwaYd called on him." Mark
adds, !" and told him to make perfectly free
with any ideas of mine that struck him as
being good protoplasm for poetry. He could
see from that that there wasn't anything
mean about me 20 We 60. along right from
the spot.''

Gethse1nnne Parish Anniversary

Yesterday was the twenty-third anniver-
sary of the Gethsemane parish, and was Gel
ebrated at Gethsemane church in due form.
The pastor, Rev. D. B. Knickerbacker. has
oficiated here during the entire time since
the organization of the parish. At that
time the population of Minneapolis num-
bered 500 souls, and there were but five COM
municants and a small chapel. Now there
are three mission ehapels, prison and cot
tage hospital services; the Brotherhood of
Gethsemane, having some half dozen chap
els outside the city, and regular services are
held in all these and at Gethsemane church.
The seven Sunday schools have q member

AMUSEM TENTS,

A new and novel play has been selected to
open the week at the Metropolitan Theatre.
'The Man of the Iron Mask" is an histori-
cal production that gives an opportunity for
some fine acting. The company have had
the play in active preparation for long
time, and have SO perfected themselves in
the various parts that an excellent rendition
may be looked for this evening
THEATRE CoM1QUE.
The managers of the Comique have pre-
pared series of surprises for their patrons
this week, and open tonight with an unusu-
ally strong programme. All the old favor
ties are to remain this week and new features
will be presented each evening. The border
drama, "Leadville or Bust" has proven such
a drawing card that it will hold the boards
for few nights longer. The olio portion
of the bill is believed to be even better than
that of last week.

IT is pretty nearly time fer the newspapers
to stop the sale of the Northern Pacific and
st. Paul e Manitoba roads to Alex. Mitchell
Mr.. Mitchell is pretty wealthy man, but as
neither of these roads are for sale, and if they
were Alexander's purse is too short, it would
be we'll to start some new rumor. It might
not be bad idea to lot up on Mitchell's
purchases and announce that Jay Gould has
bought or is about to buy the St. Paul &
Sioux City and st. Paul & Duluth roads in
order to give his Union Pacific a lake port
of its own. Gould don't issue denials as
promptly as Mitchell, and such story might
have quite run.

The Northern Pacific.

The Northern Pacific Railroad company
is rapidly emerging from those difficulties
which at one time threatened to put an en-
tire stop to its operations. It has now 720
miles of completed road, exclusive of turn
outs and siding. It is expected that by the
summer of 1880 the eastern end will be COM
pleted to the Yellowstone river. Work is
also being pushed to the Pacific end. The
road was originally granted 100000 acres
of land. But the company has only &C.
quired by actual road construction 10, SIS, 200
acres of this vast area, which is mainly in
Minnesota, Dakota, Oregon and Washing
ton Territory. The entire length of the
road, from Duluth, at the western end of
Lake Superior, to Puget's Sound, on the
Pacific, IS Its miles. It is to be observed
that those journals which denounced the en-
terprise in the dark days of the panic of '73
are now among the loudest in their fulsome
peeans of praise Of this great under
taking.
