The N. Y. Tribune, regarding the promised de-
velopment in 1.-THE Morey letter case, says Inves-
tigation has shown that.the forgery was not of
Garfield's handwriting or signature, but that
of Brown, his stenographer and amanuensis.
The forger or forgers, had to get a letter from
Garfield before they could do any work. 1t
can be shown so. Counsel state that such
letter was procured by Hadley, who wrote a
letter intended to draw out a personal reply
from him, but the reply was written by
Brown and signed by him.
1t was not of the slightest consequence, be-
ing merely a reference of his correspondent
to certain printed documents sent by the same
mail. Yet it was carefully photographed and
published in the Truth about two weeks be-
fore the forged letter appeared. The for
gerry, it is now known, was based upon the
same letter of Browns, to which be had at
tached the name of Garfield by authorization
and it is believed that that letter was the one
sent to Hadley. The signature to the Hadley
letter was an imitation OF that of Garfield. 1t
is the common practice among persons hay
ing q large correspondence to have limitations
of their signatures made by their confidential
clerks.
The Heiald prints an address signed
by officers of several democratic clubs here
and Richmond county, Staten Island, and by
several merchants and bankers, declaring
they will never again by money, moral in
fuence or votes, support the nominee of any
state or national convention in which John
Kelly is permitted to exercise his former pc
cuniary dictatorship. The document is
addressed to Faulkner, chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee.

SUNDAY READING.

IN eEt@E@ -
Impatience dries the blood sooner than age
or sorrow.
Choose such pleasures as recreate much
land cost little.
Many young persons believe themselves
natural when they are only impolite and
sScourse.
Poverty wants some, luxury many, and
Z averice all things.
Domestic behavior is the main test of yir-
tue and good nature.
To the persevering mortal the blessed i'm
\ mOrtals are swift.-Zoroaster.
The more honest a man is, the less he
\ affects the air of a saint.-Lavater.
Activity, and not dependency, is the true
4 cou~nterpoise to misfortune.-Lowell.
Thy lot or position of life is seeking after
4 thee ; therefore be at rest from seeking after
4 it.-Caliph Ali.
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself !;
nothing can bring you peace but the triumph
Of principle.
i 1t is not enough to believe what you main
tain ; you must maintain what you believe,
and maintain il because you believe it.
There is not a stream of trouble so deep
and swift-running that we may not cross
safely over, sf we have the courage to
steer and the strength to pull.
Sunday is the core of our civilization, dedi-
Gated to thought and reverence. 1t invites
us to the noblest solitude and noblest So
ciety.-Emmerson.
Having chosen our course without guile
and with pure purpose, let us renew our
trust in God, and so forward without fear and
with manly hearts.-Lincoln.
Exact justice is commonly more mercitul
in the long run than pity, for it tends to fos-
ter in men those stronger qualities which
make them good citizens.-Lowell.
Rest is never so sweet as after a long strug-
gle /; strength is never so strong as through
trial joy is a blesseder thing after sorrow;
and the fair dawning of summer days could
never come if we had no night.
In man to live is to reason. Then if living
is the being of man to depart from that use is
to depart from being, and so to be dead. And
doth not he depart from the use of reason
who doth not reason out the object of his life?
It is better to have an opinion of your own
and to be half wrong, than to allow your lips
to be shaped by others. The Danes say
81 He who builds according to every mans
advice will live in a very crooked house,"
There are savages who believe that when
they have killed an enemy, the strength
which he had possessed becomes their swn.
He who overcometh the world obtains there
BY the power of the world, and may WELD it
in the interest of his immortal soul.-Rev. S.
A. Gardner.
Let us thank God for books. When I con-

Escape.

Fisk, of Bath, Me-, q. w. Snowman. master,
bound from New York for Port Royal, was
stranded on outward Diamond shoal at $50
p. IN. Nov. %. The crew, consisting of seven
men, lashed themselves in the rigging. At 8
p. m. on the 23d Capt. Snowman and &. r.
Lewes were washed overheard and drowned.
At $50 the mast fell and the vessel broke in
pieces. g. G. and w. IL. Snowman got on q
piece of plank, leaving the three others on
board the wreck. At sunset W. III. Snowman
died from cold and washed of the plank. At
1870 3. m, Of the 25th G.. 6. Snowman, the
only survivor, landed on the beach one mile
north of this station aud walked to the light
keepers dwelling, having been in the sea 10
hours and swan and drifleti 10 miles.

Side Lines OF Mining Claims.

C, w. Bennett of Salt Lake has filed a COM
plant in the district court to quit title to
certain portions of what is known as the EN-
ma ledge, Little Cottonwood. Notice was
served that an application for an injunction
will be made on Nov. rs. This case will
again bring up the question of side lines, de-
clded once in the United States supreme
court,, in thu case Of Tarbet VS.. the Flagstaff
Mining company, in October, 1878. The
Flagstaff patent was secured across the ledge,
and the supreme court decided that they were
entitled to only that portion of the ledge
within the side lines. Bennett claims that
the Emma patent is across the ledge, and that
his Cincinnati claim was made along the
course of the vein. This suit creates consid-
cradle excitement in mining circles, and will
be fought hard on both sides.

z. L. White, formerly the mining cores
pondent of the New York Tribune, tells the
following story which he heard in Colorado:
A man living at Colorado Springs was desir-
Gus of making a sudden fortune, and en-
ployed an old miner to help discover mineral
in the mountains about Pixies Peak. When
they had their prospect hole all ready they
employed a mining expert to examine and
report upon their property. He gave an
elaborate description OF the geology of the
country surrounding the mine and of the
rock in which it was found, but when he
came to discuss the origin of the pay ore, he
remarked that some veins were charged by
sublImation and some by precipitation, but
hat the ore under discussion was the first he
had ever been called upon to examine profess
sionally that bore unmistakable evidence of
having been charged with a wheelbarrow.

ALL SORTS

We have revenged ourselves on the man
who let his hens into our garden last year.
We have presented his wife with a lot of
plants, which he will have the felicity of lug
ging down cellar every night while frost lasts
and they will be sure to die just about
spring-time.
The anne people who prognosticate of the
weather from the domestic policy of the
beaver, the partridge and the goose, will pirate
for hours about the superiority of human in
telligence to brute instinct. As Bob Inger-
soil would say, 'sthere's something wrong
somewhere"

A good laying hen will give 100 to $50 eggs
in a year, Say ten dozen, which, at thirty cents
average, will net So. This will pay a good
profit over cost of keeping in moderate num-
bers. Where eggs average %, or 20, or Is
tents per dozen, wheat and corn are proper
t~ionally cheaper. If only two or three dozen
fowls are kept on a place. the scraps from the
family table will 60 a good way toward help
ing out the feed of the poultry. But from 81
will fully pay the cost of food, if it is all pur-
chased at ordinary market prices.

The hydro-chlorine system of ore reduction
is the latest thing in process. 1t is a new
system by which silver, gold or lead ore is
reduced at a cost not to exceed So per ton
the complete plant for a smelter of five tons
daily capacity, including license, costs 5 5000.
The advertisement in the New York papers
that the process consumes but a
small supply Of fuel, either wood, coal or
charcoal. The hydrs-chlorine system is a
radically new one. The company say by
this novel system tue full assay value is OBJ
tanned, and, with some classes of ore, 10 per
cent. to 20 per cent. more, it being a we'll
established fact that quite a percentage of the
precious metals volatilizes under the ordinary
tire assay"
This beats most of the new processes.
Very few of them claim to get out over SO per
cent. or 80 per cent. of assay value, but this
one proposes to secure iron 10 per cent. to 70
per cent. more.
1t seems to us that people with new pro-
cesses, especially those involving chemical
principles, as nearly all do, make a great
mistake when they suppose the mining COM
munity to be entirely Ignorant on such sub
iects. One man tells us that he can, by a
smelling process, or one requiring a furnace
heat in some way, obtain more from the ore
than a fire assay will show to be present, ''be-
cause a percentage of the precions metals
votallZeS under the ordinary fire assay"
Which leads us to infer that there will be no
rehabilitation in his furnace.
Such assertions are idle. They make any
metallurgist smile quietly, any any miner get
his back up, and think "those fellows are
giving US taffy." And it is pure "tatfy."
They don't go to work and give the public a
description of their process which will be
ineligible, and from which the public may
draw its own conclusions. The conclusions
only, manufactured to order, are giving
publicity, and miners are supposed to swallow
the statement, however absurd.
1t was not many months since, a process
was originated in this city for working ores.
In that case we were told the ore yielded, by
''vapor assay" certain number of dollars
and cents, which ordinary fire assays failed to
show. We were then told that fire assays
were frauds, and did not show what was in
The ore, That process and those ''mines u
are things of The past, but the fire assays are
still believed in. Now again comes a process
which beats fire assays, and when we see the
assertion backed by the evidence of some
competent and disinterested m~etallurgist, we
may take it into consideration for lnvestiga
ton. But we won't believe itthen. Mining
men know something about such matters
and are not so easily caught with chat. Wher
they hear of a process to get 80 per cent. gu
of the ore, they don't believe it; and wheI
they hear of one that is going to get NOR
than the assay shows, they either think thu
projectors are fools, or that the protector
think other people are.-Mining Press.

IngersOll After the Bible.

The N. Y. Herald says of Ingersolls s~eculari-
~zation, organized last week in Chicago, to stop
the reading of the Bible in prisons and
schools, and for other assaults on religion
The proposition is conceived in the same
spirit which emboldened the announcement
Of the "Passion Play" in New York, which is
an insult to all religious bodies and an insult
upon the civilization of the age. The Chicago
~assemblage, which concerted the scheme, and
which would secularize the body polite, ignore
the Fundamental principles of society and gov
eminent, and their craze against christianity
will consume themselves.

COLLEGE TEAMS AT FOOT BALL.
THE PENNsYLvAE1A UNIVERSITY CLUB BADLY
DEFEATED BY THE YALEs.

Two visiting football elevens occupied
the polo grounds yesterday afternoon, one
being the Yale University eleyen-theiT
first visit to New York this seAsOn-and
the other the Pennsylvania University
team from Philadelphia. who recently ac-
Quilted themselves with credit in their con-
test with the Columbia College team at
HObOken. Considerable interest was taken
m the meeting from the fact that the
Princeton team, who are 10 meet Yale at
the polo grounds next Thursday, defeated
the Philadelpman at Princeton few weeks
ago by only one touch down. The weather
proved auspicious, and the attendance was
large, about 800 people passing the gates
besides carriages and coaches. Yale had a
representative team present, though not
its strongest, as it reserved its full force
for Thanksgiving Days grand match.
The Philadelphians we're minus the SER
vices Of one or two Of their best PLAYERS
In the Yale team were the pitcher, catcher
and left fielder Of the Yale base ball nine,
Messrs. Lamb, Watson and Camp, and
these three players, together with the ac-
tive Hardinge, bore off the honors on the
Yale side. The three we'll known cricket
ers, Messrs George and John Never and
Barley Of the Philadelphia team did the
same on that side. In the opening play Of
the first half the Yales were forced on the
defensive for a short time, but they soon
got warmed up 10 their work and then they
gave the spectators the prettiest exhibition
Of scientific football play, under the new
association rules, that has been seen in
this city this season. Il was not so much
a struggle Of mere weight aud muscle as
The Princeton and Harvard match was,
but was skilful strategcal play, shown es-
pecially in the quick and accurate passing
OF the ball, in close runs, and in sharp
dodging. 1t was in these respects that
tine Philadelphians were decidedly out
played. In the first half Yale scored three
goals and touch down, and in the last
half, fivsgoals, besides obliging their OPP
ponents to touch down for safety five or
six times.
The grand match OF Thanksgiving Day
promises to be the most exciting contest on
record, as both teams are the strongest
now in the arena, and both are eager for
the fray. ". Y. Sun.
