thatched houses had made way before
fine mansions, aud the smithy In which
the boy scholar had worked aud studied
still existed, but the day of its disappear
ance was very near. The visitor in
specled with some interest an old anvil
standing iu the shop.
"How long has that anvil been here :"
he asked Of the proprietor.
"Why," said the blacksmith, III
must have been here nigh thirty or forty
year"
"Weu," said the gentleman, 81 will
give you twice as much for it as will

smith; "but would like to know what
you want with this anvil"

an apprentice in this shop who used to
work on it. That noy has now become
prominent maa. Thousands love aud
honor him as friend and a teacher,
aud I wish to carry this anvil with me
to America, as a memorial OF the hum

The bargain was completed, and the
anvil Is nov carefully preserved by the

TRIALS OF LITERARY MEN.-Car-
lyle, in his life Of Schiller, expresses the
following view on the uuhsppiness, the
faults aud the follies Of literary men:
Talent Of any sort is generally accom-
panied with peculiar fiueness Of sensi-
bility OF genius this is the most essen-
tial constituent; and life in any shape
has sorrow enough for hearts so formed.
The employments Of literature sharpen
this natural tendency; the vexatiOus
that accompany them frequently exas-
perate IT into morbid soreness. The
cares aud tolls Of literature are the bus
mess Of life; its delights are too ethe-
real and too transient to furnish that
perennial flow of satisfaction, coarse
but plenteous and substantial, OF which
happiness in this world Of ours Is made.
The most flushed eflorts Of the mind
give il little pleasure; frequently they
give il pain, for mems aims are ever
beyond their strength. And the out
ward recompense Of these undertakings,
the distinctions they confer, Is Of still
small value the desire for il is insatia-
BILE. even when successful; and when
baffied il Issues in envy aud Jealousy
and every pitiful and painful feeling.
50 keen a temperament, with so little
to restrain or satisfy, so much to tempt
or distress il, produces contradictions
which few are adequate TO reconcile.
Hence the uDhappiness OF literary men
hence their faults and ioliies.

CURE FOR FELON.-When a finger
prieks as though there were a thorn in
It, and throbs intOlerably when held
downward, and yet there is no external
sign Of mischief, the probabilities are
that a ielon is In prospect. Go at once
10 the butchers aud procure some Of the
spinal marrow Of beef creature. Take
piece say about two inches in length,
and having cut itopen lengthwise, wrap
it around the affected finger, covering,
oi course with cloth. Ia a few hours
change the piece Of marrow for a fresh
one, and continue TO keep the finger en-
cased until all the pain has ceased and
there Is no discomfort when the marrow
is removed. The finger will look
strangely white and porous, but the
cure is complete. This remedy ought
to become professional. Il is vastly
letter than the surgeons knife, aud
more efiectual.

Editor Butte MINER:
In these days while the political trumpets
are sounding through our valleys and over
our mountain tops, we deem it but right to
let our fellow workmen throughout the coun-
ty know that Hiram Knowles and George w.
Irvine, II, whose names appear on the repub-
lican ticket for council and assembly, are
friends of the w%orkingmen. In our difficult
ties and troubles here last spr.n they showed
their sympathy for us by acting as our coun-
sellers and advisers, and assisted us in every
way they possibly could, and never charged
us a dollar. In those days we needed their
assistance, and it was given Cratuitously, and
now when we can show them that we have
not forgotten their actions at that time, and
that we appreciate their services rendered,w we
will, if possible, elect them to the respective
offices aboye named.
We will give them a solid vote here, anu
hope our fellow workmen, irrespective OF
party, throughout the county will do the
same. WORklNGMEN OF P~HILIPsBuRG'

The Chicago Tribune of the II inst. says:
NJ E. Sargent, general manager of the
Northern Pacific was i'll the city yesterday,
and in the evening left for the east. Mr.. Sar-
gent has lately made a trip over the entire
constructed portion of the road, in company
with General Tompkins and ingalls,. He
says the track reached the Little Missouri on
Saturday night. The false bridge is in and
the track is to be continued directly across
to Beaver Creek, about 80 miles beyond the
Little Missouri, to which point the grading is
now completed. 1t is expected to complete
the grading to the Yellowstone by November
10th. A large party of graders has passed
forward to the Yellowstone Division, and are
now engaged between Glendive, the point of
intersection with the Yellowstone, and the
Powder river. A much more favorable
alightment of the tracks through the Bad
Lands has been secured than was believed
could be obtained. He feels confident that
the Bad Lands, on account of their curious
formation, will prove a great attraction to
tourists. Before reaching the Little Missouri
there Is a cut of eleven feet through a bed OF
coal or Ignite. Flat cars can be run under
the walls of this cut and easily loaded with
the coal, which is utilized in making the
embankment further on, as are also the
petrified stumps of trees found along the
many odd shaped geological formations Of
the Bad Lands, There is also an immense
area of burned clay, red as vermillion, which
by the action Of water upon it while it was
yet heated, was broken into particles. This
can easily be shoveled up, and forms excellent
ballast for the track"

The Future Of Butte,

O.J. HOLSTER, United States collector for
Utah, returns to the Holy Land to-day. Mr..
HOLSTER has been in Butte for several days,
and has visited all the more prominent mines
of the district. lie will be remembered as
the gentleman who, in company with others,
made an effort last winter to place the Acqui-
sition property. The flaming genus who was
sent up here to examine the mine before the
sale was effected reported adversely, and the
transaction was declared off. Since that time
the shafts have been sunk a few feet deeper
and SIX foot body of lOO-ounce ore has been
opened up.
Mr.. HOLSTER is very favorably impressed
with the mining properties of the camp. To
a reporter last evening he said:
81 belihve this IS the best camp in the
United States. The mines are enormously
Itch, and the number of paying lodges seems
to be almost unlimited. During the past few
days l have travelled a mile in each direction
from Main street, and at nearly every point
of the compass l have seen mines in process
of active development. 1t is really wonder
full, and yet compared with the explorations
which will be conducted within the next few
years l believe that all the work which has
been done upto the present time Is mere sur
face scratching. l never before saw so many
properties in one district OF such richness,
extent and value.
