MINING AND MILLING.

The most imperative need of large
number of mining localities is adequate
means of changing ore into bullion.
There are many smaller places where
the mines for the present are practi-
cally worthless, from the fact that
there are no facilities for the treat
ment of ore within a reasonable dis
tance. Those who have means con-
tinue to pile up the ore while waiting
for mill or smelter, while others
whose money is exhausted in the de-
velopment of their mines, are compell-
ed for time to abandon their work
at loss, not only to themselves, but
to the locality.
One cause of this condition of
|afairs, perhaps the chief one, probab-
the fact that almost every
company organized for mining opera
tions, is mining and milling COM
pany, and prominent among the an
nouncements made to stockholders
and the public is to the effect that
they will add facilities to treat their
own ores, as soon as the development
of their mines demands it. 1t is also
no unusual thing for mining companies
to put in few small mills, which,
while insufficient to meet the demands
Of the camp, prevent the erection of
works by parties who would make the
treatment of ores speciality, and pro-
vide ample facilities as they were re-
quired.
If mining and treating ore could
be forever divorced, better results for
both would be attained. We should
have better mining, and the returns
from the mills should be more salts
factory, for there is certainly more to
be expected from a well appointed
appliances in the hands of skillful men
than from the methods now in opera
ton.
If the farmers should attempt to
grind the wheat they have laised into
flour with hand or horse mills, or even
with larger appointments, with the
rude skill and appliances likely to be
at hand, the difference in the quality
of the -four may be we'll imagined
compared with the result now obtain
ed. We predict the same advantages,
and largely improved results when
mining is conducted by miners, and
the treatment of ores is in the hands
of skillful and experienced men with
large and perfectly equipped machin-
cry and appliances for the work to be
done. Cooperation, or the division
OF labor, will work revolution in the
history of mining and inaugurate a
new epoch of improvement and profit.

SAYINGS.
BY j. INGO.

Education does not make man wise
any more than post mOrtem stuting
makes goose fat
The world needs everything for the
good Of humanity, no matter from what
man, school, or creed it may emanate.
From careful observation | am in
clined to think that the young man OF
the period is the small boy Of the comma
developed.
| have known people to be sad, DC,
and some who have even desired to
leave this country, all on account OF
their blasted affections.
If you feel like blessing anybody,
lust remember that live people are the
only ones that are blessible, and you
need not go to the North Pole to lind
them.
What the world demands of man Is
manliness; what it demands OF woman
is regular old-fashioned womanllness,
and / am sorry to say that there Is more
demand than supply.
If YOU think you would love to marry
YOU might as well know one time as
another that you cannot find any one
who will suit all your relatives, esPecf
ally those on your mother-in-law sld'
Though the wall of ''hard times anc
wickedness goes up all over the land
there are some things for which W.
should be thankful. The hen of to-day
laws about the same size egg as did tht
hen of our fathers, and talk IS just a'
cheap as it ever was, if not more so.
When a man gets out of something
to say and is running over with noise
he generally winds up with ''&e. ou
never find '&c. " in the Bible. bow
would it sound if the author OF the
Bible had told us that the Lord created
the heavens and the earth, the fishes Of
the sea. the fowls of the air, the beasts
of the field, and man, &c.
Some people will quarrel for principle
and fight without it. have known
diyines to quarrel just on the principle
of saving mans soul, while the deyi
laughed, Just for devilment. Out il
Indiana, few years ago, two physicians
one of the big-pill faculty the other o
the little-pill fraternity, sat on the fenc'
| in front of sick mans house and quar-
relied over which should put their pill
into him first till the man died accord
ing to nature.
| I am sorry for the man who has ia
Tored well of the public when he get
| into trouble. Everybody wants to ge
famous by cussing him. This reminds
me Of a good old large dog, who walked
up an inclined plank and jumped Owe
the wrong fence among some stray fysti
and raised fuss. When the seque
commenced the FISTS all got away undei
a small aperture between the fence anG
the ground, but the good, old large dol
became frustrated, and was disOrgan
ized.

Advice to The Girls.

When a man chooses the profession
of the law he does not expect to be q
musician and a journalist also; he knows
that if he would succeed he must de-
vote himself to the one chosen calling.
When woman marries she realizes that
in order to reach lofty heights in wife
and motherhood she must sacrifice less
er aims. She must be willing to lay
aside the delightful occupations which
have made her girlhood pleasant; she
must know that from the hour when her
baby is laid in the cradle, dressed with
loving forethought, to that daSk Sker hour
when the mature man lies down in his
last sleep, that she will give full mean
ing to the words, Constant care.
That her mind, once unfettered, will
be at liberty no more, but is bound by
ties stronger than life or death to those
who have come to her from out of the
great unknown. Wait a while, girls
think it all over before you promise to
become wives,-to take these duties and
burdens upon you. Sweet and satisfy
ing AS are the obligations of wife and
mother, they are not to be taken light,
| lv. A husband must not be looked
upon as a sort of perpetual beau, and
children are extremely uncertain ano
improbable adjuncts. Unless, like VII
liam Meister, your apprenticeship end
ed YOU reach out of yourselfand ask for
larger duties, for wider field of labor
you had better stay at home with father
and mother, dignifying the relation o
daughter, filling the old-fashioned home
with a mild radiance which would seen
but dim light in new one.-NeV

Parable of the Tub.

Frank and Lutetia had tub; but it
would not hold water, because the bot
tom was worm-eaten and unsound. 80
they painted it all over with gay colors :;
but still it would not hold water, be-
cause the bottom was worm-eaten and
unsound. They took off the old hoops,
and replaced them with new hoops made
of the best timber; but still it would
not hold water, because the bottom was
worm-eaten and unsound. Next they
removed the wooden hoops and put IN
their stead strong iron hoops, but stiu
Il would not hold water, because the
bottom was worm-eaten and unsound.
What shall Frank and Lutetla do with
their tub? They must get new bottom
or all their coopering will be lost labor
The bottom of the tub represents char
acter-an unsound bottom, corrupt char
aeter; sound bottom, sound charac
ter that is, character which unlte'
intelligence with rectitude or, right
eous character guided by intelligence
Such character, possessed by the bull
of the people, is the indispensable con
dition of true national prosperity

self-conquest.

OF heroes and heroship we hear much.
But there is a spiritual heroism, little
known; that of the man who resolves
to conquer himself hardest Of all con-
quests. Impatience, envy, rage, selfish
ness. eager for success or sullen at de-
feat passions Of the flesh and passions
Of the spirit,--these are his enemies.
In the silent depths of the heart he
ights his battle. y What he
does and what he suffers no man know
eth God only knows. Not one bloody
day does he fght,--at Waterloo or
Yorktown,-and win fame forever; but
all through his life does he wage the
war and win no fame. Not to lift HIM
self TO honor, but to forget himself, to
still the throbs of self-conseious dis,
quiet and all selfish passion, this Is his
endeayor. In the midnight and in the
morning, in the throng and inthe silent
hour, ever il IL his haly care and prayer
to keep al right within him, to keep
all Just and true, to keep all pure.
Loneliness and neglect and sorrow may
be upon his path, even as they were
upon the path Of Christ.-Orvillt
Dewey.

SELECTED MISCELLANY.

-Luther.
Solitude is the audisnce-chamber Of
God.-Landno.
/ Those are the most honorable who are
the most useful.
What has been unjustly gained can
not be justly kept,
On the day of victory no WEAKNESS
Is telt.-Arabic Proverb.'
Men, like bullets, go farthest when
they are smoothest.-Riehter.
The reproaches of enemies should
quicken us to duty, and not keep us
/ from it.
The heart is the only thing that is
better by being broken. Persian Pro
verb.
What we eharitably forgive will be re-
eompensed as well as what We charita-
bly, give.
The wisest man may be wiser to-day
than he was yesterday, and tomorrow
than he is to-day.-Colton.
Blessedness consists in the accom-
| plishment of our desires, and in our
having only regular desires. Angus
! tine
If every person would be half as good
as he expects his neighbor to be, what
heaven this world would be.--Luther
Norris.
All errors spring up in the neighbor-
hood of some truth; they grow round
about it, and for the most part derive
their strength from such contiguity.
just as soon as any conviction of i'm
portant truth becomes central and vital
there comes the desire to utter it--a de
sire which is immediate and irresistible.
Sacrifice is gladness, service is joy, when
such an idea becomes a commanding
power.-R. S. Storrs.
The German proverb, eff 1 rest, |
rust" applies to many things, besides
the key. If water rests, it stagnates.
If the tree rests it dies, for its Winter
state is only half-rest. Ifthe eye rests,
it grows dim and blind. If the lungs
rest, we cease to breath. If the heart
rests, we die.
The Churchman evidently regards
the life of the late President as not in
complete, though so sadly and suddenly
brought to an end:
If it was Mr.. Garfeld's ambition to
build for himself a wider fame than
man ever before gained, he succeeded.
Fit was Mr.. Garfeld's ambition to
build in himself a kingly example OF
private and public virtues, he succeed,
| ed.
Fit was Mr.. Garfeld's ambition tc
serve his country in his life and in his
death, he succeeded.
If it was Mr.. Garfeld's ambition to
die in such manner that all good men
may we'll envy him, he succeeded.

Atlanta CODsllluhiOi-
MADISON, Nov 4.-Your paper twice
this week stated that but two Bishops
of the Methodist Church, South, were
able to perform their duties This is a
mistake. Bishop Kavanaugh is in per-
feet health and has just returned from
a twelve-months tour Of Episcopal labor
in Oregon, California, Colorado and
Montana. Rishop Pierce did not return
to Georgia con account of i'll health, ="
but having held six Conferences between
September 9TH and October 18th, he has
gone home. He has two others to hold
the first one November Both. If it
is true that Bishop Wightman is disa-
bled, and Bishop Paine is aged, and
feeble, Bishop Pierce does full work, al
though not in perfect health.
