MINING.

This journal has always maintained
that mining is as safe and as legitimate
as any other industry. 1t is glad to be
secondedinth this view byso able anadvocate
as the Bullion, a weekly mining paper
published in New York. Like in every
other pursuit, there must be a fitness in
the person who engages in it or failure
will be the result. Luck serves no better
purpose in mining than it does in selling
dry goods, practicing law or running a
newspaper. Practical knowledge and in
telligest perseverance alone accomplish
practical results, and large profits are Sc
cured only by hard labor. Fortunes
made IN a moment are often lost with
equal celebrity, and the chance Of the one
is always accompanied by the risk of the
other. Mining, when conducted or q
true business basis, has dealt most bonn
tifully with its patrons. Bodie District,
California, and Eureka District, Nevada;
Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mex
leo are daily adding to the weight Of evil
dence in favor of the legitimacy of min
ing. More than all, there are hundreds
of mines of which no public record can
be obtained, owned by private individu-
ais, and returning them a steady income
with all the regularity that the interest
on Government bonds is paid. These un-
Incorporated mines are worked in a sys-
tematic and economical way, and as is
always the case when intelligence is the
director, they are returning a fair profit
to the investors. 1t is always well to re-
member that the value Of a mine depends
upon what is in it, not what has been
taken out, or what some other mine has
in it. 1t is nonsense to talk about buy
ing a mine only when there is twice as
much ore in sight as the price asked for
it. Philanthropy has not yet got such a
firm hold on the people that men go
around exchanging $40, 600 for S., 600.

To Trot I'm 2;Oz.

A Cincinnati special says Maud s was
seven years old Tuesday, and the event was
celebrated at Chester Park by a number Of
horsemen. She is in splendid condition,
barring . small splint on the outside of
the right leg. which is growing less and
will not be serious. She has grown con-
siderably in the past year, and her trainer.
Balm, predicts for her much greater sue
cess than last season. He asked Colonel
Bullock, q wealthy citizen, who visited
her, to mark On her stall his guess as to
the record she would make this year. Col
onel Bullock marked 2:09k, and Balm
wrote below 2 :07, and said al am con-
ident Of making that with her before the
Summer is over. She is one year older
than when she made her last record, is
more experienced and better educated. Be-
sides, at Chicago, where she made her best
record, she had q disadvantage, for the
wind, which was against her on the first
quarter, suddenly changed, and she had to
face it on the third quarter, instead OF hav-
ing it with her as she should have had"
He stated that she will not be matched
against any other horse, but that all her
efforts to trot will be made here at Chi
cago, and probably at Minneapolis. where
there is an effort to get her and st. Julien
together.

THE sALE OF AUP

The public authorities in Hancock
County, Virginia, have a peculiar way of
Kidding themselves Of the paupers for
whose maintenance they are responsible.
They have an auction after the fashion of
ante-bellum days, which is held at stated
intervals, and at which the said paupers
are knocked down, not to the highest
but to the lowest bidder, to be held in
servitude by the successful man for the
period of one year. The object of the
bidding is to determine what price shall
be paid by the State for the paupers dis
posed of. OF course a man who is able
bodied will be taken at a low figure,
while it will be necessary to pay a good
round sum to get a feeble old woman out
of the way. The system described has
its conveniences, but it is not one which
American citizens will generally approve.

sIoIlie's Little Ram.

Mollie had a little ram, fleece black az
rubber shoe, and everywhere that Mollie
went he emigrated to. He went with her
to church n day-the folks hilarious
grew, to see him walk de-mure-ly into
Deacon ALIENS pew. The worthy Dea-
con quickly let his angry passion rise, and
gave it al unchristian kick between the
sad brown eyes. This landed rammy in the
aisle; the Deacon followed fast, raised his
foot again, but, ali that first kick was his
last. For Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back
about a rod, tits said, and ere the Deacon
could retreat, it stood him on his head.
The congregation then arose and went for

curses long and loud, while rammy struck

Bourse says that considering that "la.
dies have in many cases a word to say

the influence really belongs to them. II
the ladies' say is to be considered, we
think a 100 per cent a very moderate

Is more probable that the advance was due
