The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1880-10-05

On Wednesday, at the Butte race track, what
promises to be the most exciting, interesting
and successful season of racing ever witness
ed in Butte, will be i~naugurated. The wealth
err being good a large attendance is assured
from far and near, for the best horsefesh
that ever trod the Montana turf will be put to
a trial ofspeed on Wednesday andthe succeed.
ing four days. Among the running horses
may be mentioned Premium, Patsey Dufrey,
Neya Winters, Joe Howell, Cricket, Sorrel
Mike, and Deceiver. The trotting horses ale
equally we'll known, though among both
classes some late arrivals are very dark.
Among these may be mentioned four animals
which came in yesterday alleged to have been
brought from Oregon. Their owners are I'M
known and refuse to say anything as to the
previous record Of the horses, so that whether
they are good bad or Indifferent is a matter
which those who bet on the outcome of the
races will have ali opportunity OF ascertaining
after the contest has been d~ecidea-not be-
fore. 1t thus appears that anybody who
thinks he has a dead thing on naming the
winning horses will find himself badly left,
for it is just possible that The O.esan horses
will clean "Ht the Montana flyers and equally
possible that the result will be vicr versa.

In the two shafts on the main ledge devel-
opment is progressing as usual, and about 10
tons OF very high grade silver-copper ore is
being daily produced and shipped to Denver.
The upper slopes, from the 4O-foot west drift
are yielding some excellent free ore. Onthe
south vein operations continue active. About
$50 tons of free ore, assaying from 35 to 40
ounces, is on the dump, which will be ship
ped to the Clipper mill for reduction as soon
as the necessary repairs have been made to
the machinery, and the two new pans have
been put in. The dump is increasing at the
rate of II tons per day, the ore being princi-
paily extracted from the slopes of the east
drift, 40 feet from the surface. The new as
say office is almost completed and is very
comfortable and complete.

Words of Wisd0ms

The future OF society is in the hands
OF the mothers.
A full stomach is apt to be deaf to in
struction.
A fruit-bearing tree bends; all the
virtues are lowly.
Love, faith, patience-these are the
three essentials OF Il happy life.
Life is long shipwreck OF which the
debris is friendship, glory and love.
Anger is blood, poured aud perplexed
into frotn; but malice is the wisd ON
OF our wrath.
We measure minds by their stature
it would be better TO esteem them by
their beauty.
The elephant is never won by anger
nor must that man who would reclaim
a lion take him by the teeth.
The intellect has only one failing,
which, to be sure, is very considerable
one. 1t has no conscience. Napoleon
is the readiesU instance of this.
True dignity abides with him alone
who, in the silent hour of inward
thought, can still suspect, and still re-
we're himself in lowliness OF heart.
Though the word and the spirit do
the main work, yet suffering so unbolts
the door of the heart that both the word
and the spirit have easier entrance.
Lover, daughter, sister, wife, mother,
grandmother; in those six words lies
what the human heart contains of the
sweetest, the most ecstatic, the most
sacred, the purest and the most inetfable.
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1880-12-16
In a Bears Clutches.

Jerry Greening, noted hunter of
Pike county, Pa, started out on n
grand bear-hunt, taking provisions for
two days stoy The first day out he
killed a fine four pronged buck, which
he dressed and hung up in a tree out of
reach of wild animals. He built a fire
short distance from where he had
hung the buck, and after eating a hearty
supper rolled himself up in his blanket,
with his feet TO the fire, and was soon
asleep. In the middle of the night he
was awakened by loud noise, and
turning over noiselessly on his side he
discovered large bear trying to pull
the buck out of the tree. Jerry grabbed
his rifle, and, after taking careful aim,
fired. The bear gave loud growl, and
galloped off in the underbrush. In the
morning Jerry saw blood-stains on the
ground, and following the tracks some
distance, he came to the entrance to a
cave in some rocks. In front OF this
cave was a large pool of blood, and the
hunter was convinced that his game was
within. He procured pine knot, out
oil which he made torch, and after the
manner of Irsael Putnam, entered the
cave. The entrance was small, and he
was obliged to creep in on his hands aud
knees; but as he advanced the opening
grew. larger, until finally, he could
stand upon his feet. He was advancing
cautiously when he heard growl, and
before he could draw his rifle the bear
sprang upon from behind a huge
boulder, knocking him down, and in
| licting severe wound in the shoulder
with her claws. The torch which
Jerry carried was extinguished, and the
old hunter was left to fight for his life
in total darkness, He succeeded in
reaching his hunting-knife, and dealt
| the bear several vigorous blows in the
neck and side with the weapon. The
blood from the animals wounds spurted
into .Jerry's face, early binding him.
| The bear relaxed her hold and made for
the mouth of the cave. Jerry followed,
but in ,the darkness was unable to find
his rifle. He pursued the bear, and just
outside the cave another hand-tohand
conflict took place. The struggle lasted
half an hour, and after the bear had
nearly succeeded in stripping Greening
of his clothing and had inflicted several
more wounds, she was dispatched,
Jerry procured another pine-knot and
re-entered the cave and procured his
rifle. In the farthest corner of the cave
he found two little cubs, not larger than
kittens, which he took home with him.
The floor of the cave, Greening says,
| was literally covered with bones,

FOR THE FAIR SEX.


Changeable plushes are used for bon
nets and strings.
Wide velvet collars, bordered with
fur, are very stylishly worn.
Plush and brocade coats are very
stylish. and are worn with skirts of any
material.
Ladies now embroider deep founces
of black satin or cashmere for the ir
petticoats.
Shirred waists are very much worn
by quite young girls.
Buttons of pearl, opal or Rhine pebble
are used for fastenings for gloves.
High standing ruches and fraises fo=
the neck are more in vogue than ever.
A new fringe OF chenille is called
sealskin fringe, from its resemblance to
that fur.
Large bouquets of flowers are now
placed in the center of the bodice, about
the sixth button from the top.
As dresses of old style are so fashion
able, the hair will be elaborately dressed
and pow dered, after the ancient regime.
Plaque buttons of pearl with grapes
and leaves, cherries, currants and
blackberries of enamel are among the
new buttons.
Jackets with short fronts which
resemble gentlemen's dress coats are
worn over very full skirts, absolutely
without drapery.
Broad velvet sashes are worn, tied at
the left side in careless knot. They
are gayly lined and finished on the ends
by shirring and tassels.

Our Southern italy.

While we are waiting to see rail
way communication opened with those
re gions of New Spain which DR.. Oswald
truly celebrates as "the earthly Para
disc" Florida, says New York paper,
does this duty as the Italy of America
Florida does this duty very creditably,
too; for though the antique charm" of
st. Augustine is more in the imagination
of visitors than in the quality of the
Augustinian architecture, the climate of
the peninsula is delectable, and thous-
ands of invalids, tourists and families of
wealth from the North bear witness
yearly to its claims. Fernandini tempts
the traveller with its mile end shell road
leading to twenty-mile seaside drive (;
st. Augustine with its beach trodden
halt a century before Plymouth Rock,
and its Minorcan and Majorcan culinary
traditions in the matter of fish and all
sorts of ''sea fruit;" Pilatka with it's
fruit and flower gardens; Tampa with
its semi. tropical and dreamy quiet. In
1880, thanks to railway improvements,
the journey southwark, once a purga-
tOrial process, has not only lost most of
its terrors but become itself pleasure.
The rapid transition in comfortable cars
from the SHOWS and Stops and chills of
the North through zones of mellowin g
temperature has positive satisfactions OF
its own, and as the country ripens and
grows richer yearly, the day is not far
of, perhaps, when it will be the correct
thing even for family men OF moderate
resources in New York to talk about
their Florida cottages as people now

Won en- and Ladies'.

In the days of our fathers, there were
such things to be met with as men and
women-but now they are all gone, and
in their place a race of gentlemen aud
ladies, or, to be still more refined, q
race of ladies and gentlemen" has
sprung up.
Women and girls are among the
things that were, But "ladies are
found everywhere. Miss Martineau
wished to see the women wards in q
prison in Tennessee, and was answered
by the warden: "We have no ladies
here at present, madam"
Now, so far as the ladies were con-
cerned, it was very we'll that none of
them were in prison; but then it sounds
little odd-ladies in prison! 1t would
seem bad enough for women to go TO
such place.
A lecturer, discoursing upon the
characteristics of women, illustrated
thus: Who were the last at the cross?
Ladies. Who were last at the sepul-
chreP Ladies'" On this modern i'm
provement we have heard of but one
thing that beats the above.
II was the finishing touch to q mar
riage ceremony, performed by an ex-
quisite divine UP to all modern refine
ments. When he had thrown the chain
OF Hymen round the happy couple, he
concludediby saying: now pronounce
you husband and lady"
The audience stuffed their handker-
chiefs into their mouths and got out of
the room as quickly as possible to take
breath. Albany Express.

A Surprised Dog.

At certain club house in Boston
there was kept in the billiard room q
parrot which was SO tame aud such a
favorite that it was not confined to its
cage, but was allowed the liberty Of the
room, and was often seen perched upon
the furniture, or wandering about on the
floor. On one occasion. when the bird
was seated in the corner OF the room, a
gentleman, a Mr.. B., entered, followed
by his dog, whether pointer or a set
ter we do not know. The dog, after a
few moments, winded the parrot, drew
on it, and finally stood fast. The bird,
which had been up to this time, appar-
emily oblivious of the presence of the ca
nine, now turned its head slowly, and in
tones expressive of the utmost contempt
said, "Go home, you darned fool. ," The
dog started, looked, and then, turning
tail, skunk out of the room. 1t is said,
that although up to this time the animal
had been splendid hunter, he would
thenceforth never point bird.-Forest
