THE WORTH OF HOURS.

Believe not that your inner eye
Can ever in just measure try
The worth of Hours as they so by.
For every mans week self, alas!
Makes him to see them while they pass
As through dim or tinted glass.
But if in earnest care you would
Mete out to each its part of good.
Trust rather to your after mood.
Those surely are moi fairly spent,
That leave your spirit bowed and bent
In sad unrest and ill.content;
And more-though free from seeing harm,
You rest from toll of mind or arm,
Or slow retire from Pleasures CHARM.
If then painful sense comes on
OF something wholly lost and gone.
Nainly enjoyed, or vainly done,-
OF something from your beings chain
Broke of. nor to be linked again
BY all mere Memory can retain,-
Upon your heart thls trufh may rise
Nothing that altogether dies
Sufiiccs mans just destinies;
So should We live, that every Hour
May die as does the natural flower
A sslfrGviying thing of wower;
THAT every Thought and egety D1ad
May hold within itself the seed
OF future good and future need;
Estccming Sorrow, whose employ
l. 10 develop, not destroy.
Far better than barren Joy.

A OATH.

Between the Irish Land Leaguers and the
atheistical 3radlaugh the British Parliament
is having a hard time of it this year. The
Land Lcagners will not accept as satisfactory
any measure thai the Government can offer,
and Mr.. Bradlaugh refuses either to take the
Parliamentary oath, in its prescribed form, Or
to abstain rom presenting himself every day
for admission to his seat.
His constituents, the sturdy voters of North
ampton, have already returned him as their
member several times, and, Notwithstanding
that there is no immediate prospect of his ad-
mission, they steadfastly refuse to select a
more eligible candidate. He holds that he
cannnt conscientiously take the required oath
because he does not believe in the Deity
which it invOkes, and also because he does
not believe in the divine right of the Guelph
family to rule over Great Britain.
If he only holds out long enough it is most
likely that the oath will be so modified that
he can take it without doing any violence to
his super-sensitive nature: but he can hardly
hope to live SO long. RadicaliSm of Brad
laughs kind makes slow prog rss in Eng.
land, where the hold of church and crown on
the public mind is stronger than in any other
country urder the sun.

PAPER MINES.

No greater misfortune can evertake a min
ing camp, nowadays, than to get the reputa-
ton of being a football for stock jobbers. Pa
per mines are the worst mines in the world.
Till now the mines of Butte and vicinity
have held their own in the markets because
of their intrinsic worth. They can always
hold their W as valuable properties if their
owners will be content to let them go before
the world on their actual merits. There is
danger however, which should not be disguised,
that more attention will be paid to the issue
and sale of stock in some of our mines than
to the extraction of the valuable ores which
they unquestionably contain.
No evil has as yet resulted to this camp
from any of the stock projects launched upon
the markets and there is no present evidence
that the shares already issued are in excess
of the value of the properties they represent.
But it will be well for the managers of the
many companies nov contemplating the issue
of stock for the purpose of developing their
mines to be modest in estimating the value Of
ore bodies almost entirely hidden from sight.
n mine lndl "Oulh Sttll ucdl dt Tl'u,oov
should net be stocked at 81 Goo 900 or any
greatersuin. Butte is situated in the very center
of the most promising mining district on the
continent, and there is no need here to resort
to the fraud of paper mines in order to make
money. Character counts in mining as we'll
as in most other human fairs, and our
miners should feel a pride in the good name
of the camp, and should discountenance all
attempts at overstocking any of the mining
properties in this vicinity. The MINER will
steadily oppose and certainly expose all at
tempts at paper mining that comes within the
scope of its notice, because we are convinced
that honesty is the best policy in this as in
all other matters. There is profit enough to
be made by honest mining in this vicinity to
render stock-jobbing on phantom ores un-
necessary.

On Friday the Senate. in executive session.,
ratified the immigration and commercial
treaties between this country and China, ne
gotiated by our special ambassadors last year.
The immigration treaty places a needed re-
strlctlon on the importation of Coolies into
this country but does hot otherwise interfere
with tho free coming and going of travellers
between the two countries. The commercial
treaty is designed TO increase our mercantile
tranlc with our celestial neighbors. but
whether it will have that effect is ~ravely
doubted by people qualified to know. This
IS a question That can only be satisfactorily
answered by experience and we are willing to
walt for results before passing judgment upon
the merits of the commercial treaty or the
wisdom of its trainers.

London, Nov. 14.-An important
discovery in connection with the opera
tions of the fenian organizaon has been
made in Bradford. Accident led to
the seizure Of a box containing fifty re-
volvers, with documents and other
clues, including, it is said, a list of
local members and fenian organizations
throughout the country. The box con-
tanning the arms was found in the
cellar of an Irishman, named John
Tobin, In Manningham, in the suburbs
of Bradford. The mysterious box was
sent from America to Ralph Creyke, a
member of parliament, and was opened
with great precaution at the Woolwich
arsenal, under the idea that 1t was an
internal machine, but it was found to
contain samples of guano.

Washington, Nov. 14.-There arrived

Montana was one about 200 miles in
length. The schedule of this route al
lowed "a hours for the trip and required
three trips per week. Pay for the SER
vice was s22, 900. Dorsey sub-let this
route to Jennings for s12, 900. and pock-
eted $4,000 per year clear cash. Dor
sey two years since went to work and
had the route expedited from "a to 90
hours and had the pay consequently
raised to about S35, 900. He pocketed
the s13, 900 additional pay and told Jen-
nings be had better make his trips in
90 hours instead of "a hours as the gov
eminent would prefer it; but made nc
raise in the contract price. Jennings

Thc Rotton Fam. Out.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-News has been
received here that on Friday night the
bed of Prairie creek broke through in
to one of the mines of the Chicago,
Wilmington and Vermillion Coal Com
pany at Steaton in this state. The bed
of the stream at the point where the
break was made, is only or inches
above bed Of some % feet of quick
sand and the rains of Friday caused
pressure enough to break through the
bed and run the quicksand into the
mine; the hole thus made was about
200 by 400 feet. Only four men were
working in the mine when the break
occurred and all Of them escaped, most
of the impliments and all but two of
the mules employed in the shaft were
gotten out. The loss to the COM
pany is estimated at hundred thous-
and dollars. 1t will require four or
five weeks to pump out the mine and
repair the break. The mine Is one Of
the largest soft coal mines in working
order in America.

cause the people Of the town would not
let the postmaster have place for an
Office. AL the citizens of the town are

a room for an office and when be
bought lumber they refused to let him
have ground on which to erect m Office.
This case was thus represented to the

discontinued.
Samuel E. Carrothers, who was con-
firmed by the senate as postmaster at

suade the president not to sign his COM

one of their side appointed. After
