staller and monopolizer. But he
 is really doing for society what
 Pharaoh, fOrewarned by dream,
 did for the peopluof Egypt, when
 during the seven prosperous
 years he stored up the surplus of
 abundant crops against the famine
 years that were to follow. What
 ever enhancement of price, the
 operations of such a speculator
 may in the first place cause, will
 to the community at large be amply compensated for by the subsequent effect in keeping prices down. By causing econo-
 my he prevents distress; and whatever profit his fOrethought may bring him, is but a small part of the gain which that fore- thought secures to the communi- ty.
 But speculation which is legiti- mate and useful passes easily into speculation which is illegiti-
 mate. harmful. Itis not easy to draw the line at which the transi- tion takes place; it is quite impossible to fix it by statute or commercial regulation; yet there is distinction that should be recog nized, and especially by | bankers, who are the conservators of the financial system. And while even legitimate speculation may become so reckless as to be there is a species of speculation sure to have that character. It Is, if I may coin 1 phrase, speculation on specula- tion-that is to say, speculation in which the venture is not based upon production or the conditions )f production. but upon the disposition of people to speculate.
 Speculation of this kind is pure and simple. It las no useful purpose or redeem ng feature; but is the most nsidiouS and demoralizing form ,f gambling, as it is apt to extend lmong classes who would revolt rom the grosser forms of gambling.

POORMAN's MINING DIST.

The latest news from the mining interests owned in the various mining camps, is of the most satisfactory character. The system in vogue now is entirely different in many respects over tEe old way in managing and working mining properties, aided by the latest improved mining machinery, that double the result is obtained both in production and development of properties. Investors in mining properties are generally educating them selves up to the advantages it offers as an investment for their money, and a better feeling is in exister ce to-day among capital ists regarding mining, than has ever been known within the knowledge of man.-Nugget.

The following Is an extract from
a T,xas letter to the Chicago Tri-
Uuuc:
"ln Northern Texas, next to the
Arkansas lire, some ot the ladies
chew snuff. They are not Texas
gi,ls, but Arkansas girls over there
on a visit. The real snutf-chewing
girls all live in Arkan'as and Ten
neSsao. The Arkansas girl takes
out her tin box of snuff, dips sick
in il, and chews the end OF the stick
like cigar. No man feels like
kissin. en ARKANSAS snuff chewing
girl on the mouth. If compelled 10
kiss her at all, be prefers to kiss her
on her nose orear. Indeed, Between
an Arkansas girls powder on her
face and snuff on her teeth and lips,
the ear Is about the only clean place
left to kiss. | will say
here that refined young ladies in
Texas do not use snuff. You will
see many beautiful and accomplished
young ladies in Waco who would
not associate with snutf-chewing
women"

ASSASSINATION OF THE PRESL
DENT.

An attempt was made last Satur-
day morning, by one Charles Quit
teau, 10 as>aSsinate Jas. 4. Garfield,
president Of the United States. The
would-bc assassin approached the
president as he reached the Balti-
more and Potomac station, in the
city Of Washington, where he went
to board a train tor New York, and
fired at him twice with Il pistol, one
shot taking effect in the right arm
and the other in the back, Just above
the right hip. At last accounts the
president was lying in q critical con-
diti0n. Gitteau was arrested, and
proved to be recent applicant for
u consular position, and it is thought
the Disappointment he sustained in
not receiving the favor requested OF
the administration, caused an aber-
ration of the mind. Much excite
ment, indignation and regret is
manifested by the press and people
throughout the country.
Later.-The carrier on the daily
mail route informs US that a dispatch
was received by telegraph at Wal
nut Ridge, yesterday "wednesday
morning, announcing the death Of
the president.
