A Sian that Was Paid for.

Rude fun ought to cost the maker
something-and it generally does. In
this case the offender gets off easier than
he had any right to expect, after his in
excusable assault. Says the Cape Ann
Advertiser:
Not many months ago party of Bos-
ton gentlemen came to this city and
went on a fishing party. Some of them
got pretty jolly, one in particular, who,
selling one of the Goldfish which they
had caught, walked up the wharf. He
soon espied a veteran fisherman, who
was saving wood, and under the impulse
of the moment fetched him n whack
across the face, with the Goldfish.
In moment he was sObered. The
generous inn pulse of noble heart throb'
bed in his bosom. He felt that he had
done mean, ungentlemanly act, and
he meant to atone for it then and
there.
Taking out ten-dollar bill, he prof
fered it to the veteran, saying:
"Accept this anil let it wipe out any
recollections of the cowardly blow
struck you, as did not mean to do II
and am very sorry for it,"
The veteran took the bill, his face
beaming with mingled establishment anc
delight, and making bow. remarked
"See here, stranger, you can wipt
me over the face all day long with
Goldfish, at ten dollars lick! | dom
bear you a mite of ill-will, | don't.
rather like your style. When are yor
coming again"
And that settled it. 1t was lucky foI
the gay Joker that his victim was o
thick material enough to take none.

The Future Center Of Commerce and
Culture.

As Mr. Gladstone has thought thai
the commercial center OF the world may
shift from London to Now York, 50 NJ
Littre, the famous French lcxicog
rapher, thinks that the center Of cul
ture will move from the Seine to the
banks of the Hudson. This gentleman
is of opinion that the ruling language OF
the future will be Ango-SaXon, and il,
chief seat of learning will be in TIC
United states. AS regards population
that race comes first; its plumbers in 4
generation or two will probably reach
400, 100000 of the human race. After
then comes the Chinese, equal in nun,
Der, but, AZ n static people, unworthy tC
rank with Western races rs q factor in

AnelO-Saxon, as governing races, NJ
Iittre puts the Russian, and then the
Spanish, to whom he comedies in the FIJI
ture the greatest part of the South
American continent. The capacity for
expansion of the United States and
Russia may possibly menace the indie.
pendenCe of old European states; but,
in this respect, NJ. Littre argues that
the security of human life individually
which has followed in the wake Of civil
ization, will also be accorded to the
States, and that Russia and America,
unlike the ancient Babylon and Egypt,
will develop without injury to the ma,
tions upon whose frontiers they may
touch.

fifty Americans who are established in

Plat presses us to "c0me out for a lew
days" and we go. The wagon, he in
forms us, was sent from his old home in
Tennessee, and, in spite of law which
declares agricultural implements free of
duty, the duties amounted to as much as
the original cost. Presently we stop

All the Americans are cultivating
sugar cane; the juice is distilled into

but our colonists came without money
and can not wait for slow-growing crops.
Platt saved little money and bought
this ground of an Indian woman, and
had to carry provisions six miles on his

wooden mill until he could get an iron
one, at double the original cost. And

Mr., Yost ana Ills Nine Doctors.

Several days since Mrs. Yost received
dispatch from Hot Springs saying that
her husband was dead. She fastened to
Cairo, sorely stricken with sorrow, ex-
pecting to receive his body here. Here
She received another dispatch saying her
husband was not dead. These different
dianatches confounded her, and she
fastened oE to the Springs to find out
his condition for herself. There the
contradictory kilograms were explained
to her. 70 all appearances her husband
was dead, and he was laid out as a dead
person. But after the lapse of several
hours it was discovered that the body
did not grow cold as it should. A con-
sultation of physicians was held, theTe
being nine in council. The majority
insisted that Mr.. YOst was dead, but
one, a DR.. Reed, insisted that he was
not dead. In Difference to this opinion

The Discovery Of Noted Mines.

The working of gold and silver ores
was commenced on this continent by the
Spaniards at the earliest time of their
occupation and conquest. In l545 the
mines of Potosi, in Mexico, were dis.
covered, and then $50. lyr that age
was so great that a powerful impulse
was given to mining industry through
out the New World. In 1913 Zacatecas
began to produce its great treasures.
Sombrerete followed in 1866, and GU
anajuato in 1868.
An important discovery, one that has
added to the wealth of the world, was
the discovery by poor Mexican miner
in the year 1867 of the process of ANAL
gamation of ores with quicksilver. In
the last years of the sixteenth century
Potosi produced $7,500,000 per annum.
In 1880, the mines Of Cerro Pasco were
discovered. In the years 1926 and 1927
the Zzcania and Jacal mines of Zaca-
tecas yielded the then large sum of
$4,500,0O0. The great bonanza Of Real
del Monte was opened in 1862, yielding
SIS, 900 900 in twenty-five years. These
wonderful results from crude and i'm
perfect methods for many years placed
Mexico among the foremost of produc-
ing countries of the precious metals.
Wars and Indian depredations, as
4 II as the interminable revolutions in
States of Mexico, have, in . great meas
ure, paralyzed industry of all descrip-
tions, and have been especially fatal to
the development of mines, and one of
the great treasure houses of the globe
has been virtually closed tor many years.
In 1859 the great rush to Pixies Peak,
or that portion of our country since
named Colorado, began. The year was
also marked as the commencement of
systematic work upon the justly cele-
brated Comstock lode of Nevada, al
though the discovery took place two
years previous, and the lode was worked
for gold to depth Of sixty feet. Gold
and silver mines were discovered in
Idaho in 1861, and the wonderful rich
placers Of Montana in 1862. The Dead
wood discoveries occurred in 1877, and
those of Leadville, Colorado, a year
later, but active operations have sprung
up mostly within the past year
