THE USUAL CRY.

Ex-senator Chaffee, Of Colorado, is
trying to explain that his connection
with the Little Pittsburg Mine sale
and subsequent management. has
been legitimate, honorable and hon
est. The mine having ''petered out. "
thereby causing the loss of millions of
dollars OF the stock, some of which
millions are on the credit side O: Mr..
Chaffee's bank account, that gentle
man may have some difficulty in
satisfying everybody that a fraud has
not been perpetraled. People who
are acquainted with mining business
will not charge Mr.. Chsfee With
crookedness, though eastern investors
may do so. 1t is certainly no fault OF bis
that the Little Pittsburg ore body has
failed. At one time the mine had
the appearance of being one of the
richest that tAe world had ever
known, and geologiats, as well as
practical miners, were free to stake
their regulations on the l1ng coz
tinuance OF the vein. The tsrmina.
ton Of the ore body has been SO sud
den as to astonish all, Mr.. Chafiee in
cluded. Such things have, do and
will happen in mining, and man is
not chargeable with them. There is
less swindling in mining than is
charged. The business is highly
speculative. He who buys mine
after making the best examination
that science, skill and prac-
teal experience can dictate, is a
Spectator, in this, that be takes
chances of the mine giving cut or
continuing after the ore that he seer, |
or knows to be there, has been ex. |
tracted. When he gets to The end of
the ore he has no right to accuse the
one from whom the mine was pur-
chased with fraud, unless it can be
hoWn that Misrepresentation was
'racticed or facts that should have
'een known were suppressed. When
nen invest in promising mines that
prove worthless, they should
lame their own speculative propen.
ties rather than the sellers OF mines.

rived at Castle Garden, New York,
being $500 more than came during
the whole of March, 1879. Famines,

The RETURNS o! MARI iages, births
and deaths in France show that the
morals of the country are not i'm.
proving very radidly. OF $4,000
children born there in 1878, $1,000
were Legitimate. The same year
the deaths numbered 839, 900, and
the siill-to:n $4,000. There was a
considerable falling off in the excess
of births over deaths, from 1877. In
the latter year the excess was 142. 600,
while in 1873 it was $4,000. Mar
riages, however, increased somewhat,
the number in 1877 being 279, O94,
and in 1873 279, 1872.
