PhilEpsburx.

Mr.. Chas. Clark, Supt. of the Hope COM
psny at Philipsburg, was in the city yesterday.
The gentleman reports everything booming
in that camp and is confident of its permanent
prosperity. Developments on the Hope mine
have been prosecuted to a depth of 300 feet,
uncovering an excellent body of ore which
unlike that extracted from the Algonquin
mines, is free-milling in character. The
mill is of ten-stamp capacity, brushes by the
wet process, and turns out monthly $40, 900
in bullion Of %unequalled fineness. The
roperty is owned by a st. Louis company.

The several mines being worked on Mount
Custer are also looking well.
Unless we can have a bank and a money

matter to keep up business relations with the

A number OF large buildings are in course
of erection in Custer, and various other i'm
movements are being made in and about the
city. From present indications, town proper
tv in Custer will he in demand this season.

The first leap year proposal in Bodie was
made last night by a young lady. As the
snow was falling without; as the old gentle
man and faithful wife were in the kitchen,
discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of cutting Town
the meat bill and curtailing the supply of
wood for the front room, the young lady with
brown hair and soft expressive eyes, the bash
full lover, sat in the arm chair in the front
room. When they had discussed the coming
Twilight calico ball, she, without a moments
warning, looked up III his face and in the
sweetest voice remarked "Shall I get up in
the morning and build the fires for you dur
ing the coming wears ?" The youth was
completely ~dumbfounded, and fell out of the
chair. The wedding will take place in
March.

SOME FEATs OF STRENGTH.

A MONG the Greeks the successful
n athlete was crowned with laurels
and loaded down with wealth and hon.
ors. When Egenetus, in the ninety
second Olympiad, triumphant in games,
entered Agrigentum, his native home,
he was attended by an escort of 800
chariots, each drawn by two white hors-
es, and followed by the populace, cheer
ing and waving banners. Milo six times
won the palm at both the Olympic and
Pythian games. He is said to have run
a mile with four-year old OK upon his
shoulders, and afterward killed the ami
NAL with blow from his fist, and ate
the entire carcass in one dayl So great
was his muscular power that he would
sometimes bind cord round his head
and break 1t by the swelling and pres
sure of the veins. An ordinary meal
for Milo was twenty pounds of meat, as
much bread, and fifteen pints of wine.
Thessalia was Of prodigious strength
and colossal height, and, 1t is said, alone
and without weapons, killed an enor-
NOUS and enraged lion. One day lit is
so recorded), he seized bull by one of
its hind feet, and the animal escaped
only by leaving the hoof in the grasp
of the athlete.
The Roman Emperor Maximnus was
upward OF eight feet in height, and like
Milo, of Crotone, could squeeze to pow
der the hardest stone with his fingers
and break the jaw of horse by kick.
His wife's bracelet served him as ring,
and his every day meal was go pounds
Of meat and an amphora of wine.

Had Read the Bible.


biblical scholars are sometimes
ID entrapped. In little town of Ba-
varia, the other day, sat an aged frau
lien and her minister, who was at least,
supposed to know the bible by heart
The fraulein enjoyed joke in spite of
her age and the reverend father, al
though thoroughly pious man, was
not whit behind her. Indeed there is
nothing in the sacred profession which
interdicts good wholesome laugh, and
nothing which makes a man SO sad that
he can see only the gloomy and cloudy
side of life. Our fraulein said:
" Father, you may have heard that
some of the persistent explorers in the
Holy Land have just discovered hugh
heap of bones which are supposed, on
pretty good authority, to be those of the
the children Herod killed"
All, indeed ~ said the minister
thoroughly interested, :" / had not heard
of it,"
Yes,," continued the fraulein, and
strange to say, nearly half of the bones
were as white as the SHOWS of the Alps,
while the others were as black as eb-
ony."
Well, we'll ~ exclaimed the pastor,
that is certainly very remarkable"
And the problem to be solved is"
continued the fraulein, " whether the
white bones belonged to the girls
and the black ones to the boys, or rice
versa. The explorers were greatly vex-
ed by the matter and could arrive at no
satisfactory conclusions. Now, what do
you think, father ?"
"Oh," wittily rejoined the pastor,
"of course the black bones belonged to
the girl babies, and the white ones to
the boy babies"
We ask the same question Of our read
era, and they had better guess several
times before they read the rest of the
paragraph. When they have settled the
matter, they can refer to the answer Of
the fraulein, who, with merry twinkle
in her eye, said: ''Father you must
have read your bible to very little pur-
pose, for the account tells that only boy
babies were killed by Herod."

none-when he did come forth, twas as
spectre, and only to haunt the grave
of his "boy," or, If he did break silence,
twas to burst into a paroxysm Of rage
against the enemies who "turned his
boys heart from him ~
At the fort was man by the man of
Talbot, the gunsmith of the station he
was very loud and bitter in his denuncl-
ations of the murderer" as lie called
Fink, which, finally, reaching the ears
of the latter, filled him with the most
violent passion, and he swore that he
would take the life of his defamer. This
threat was almost forgotten, when one
day, Talbot, who was at work in his
shop, saw Fink enter the fort, his first
visit since the death of Carpenter. Fink
approached; he was careworn, sick, and
wasted, there was no anger In his bear
ing, but he carried his rifle, (had he ever
gone without 1t y and the gunsmith was
not coolly brave man moreover, his
life had been threatened.
Fink" cried he, snatching up pair
of pistols from his bench, "-don't APP
proach me-if you do, you're dead
man ~
Talbott," said the boatman, in a
sad voice, "you needn't be afraid; you
have done me wrong-I'm come to talk
to you about-Carpenter-my boy |"
He continued to advance, and the
gunsmith again called to him
Fink, L know you; if you come
three steps nearer, I'll fire, by"
Mike carried his rifle across his arm,
and made no hostile demonstration,
except in gradually getting nearer--if
hostile his aim was.
Talbot, you've accused me of MUIR
derlng- my boy - Carpenter - that L
raised from child-that 1 loved like a
son-that can't live without I'm not
mad with you now, but you must let
me show you that couldn't do it--that
I'd rather die than done it-that you've
wronged me"
BY this time he was within few steps
of the door, and Talbott's agitation be-
came extreme. Both pistols were point
ed at Fink's breast, in expectation of a
spring from the latter.
BY the Almighty above US, Fink,
I'll fire-I don't want to speak to you
now-don't put your foot on that step =
don't"
Fink did put his foot on the step, and
the same moment fell heavily within it,
receiving the contents of both barrels in
his breast His last and only words
were,
" didn't mean to kill my boy !"
Poor Mike! we are satisfied with our
seniors conviction that you did not
mean to kill him. Suspicion of treach-
cry, doubtless, entered his mind, but
cowardce and murder never dwelt
there.
A few weeks after this event, Talbot
himself perished in an attempt to cross
the Missouri in a skiff.
