A London paper says: "Sir Garnet
Wolseley's action in first feigning to take
measures In the direction Of Aboukir aud
then promptly descending on Port Said and
Ismsiia, Is In accordance with msxims he
has himself embodied in his Soldiers Pocket
Book He there lays It down that q
General commanding should so keep his
counsel that his army, and even his staff
around him, should be not only in ignorance
OF his real intentions, but convinced that he
aims at totally different objects from what
are his true ores. He adds that, what you
lead your army 70 believe will soon
be credited by the enemy, whom it will
reach by means Of spies, or through the
medium Of those newly.iHvented curses to
armies, mean newspaper men, In another
part Of his book Sir Garnet points out how BY
spreading false news among the representa-
tiTes Of the press, General may use them
to deceive an enemy"
Some one has found in one of Ecker
msan's books a record Of a conversation he
had in 1926 with Goethe on the subject OF
ship canals. Goethe, he says, showed 9
special interest in Humboldt's idea Of
piercing the Isthmus Of Panama, and fur
ther said: aft is q necessity for the United
States that American merchantmen aud
men-of. war should be able to set sail straight
into the Pacific from the Bay Of Mexico,
and / feel sure that they will accomplish It.
l should wish to live to see T.; but that viii
not happen. SecOndly,@ should Ike navi-
CATION from the Danube into the Rhine to
be rendered feasible. And, thirdly, should
Ike to see the Eoglish in possession of q ca
nal across the Isthmus OF Suez To live
long enough in order to witness three such
great events it would really be worth while
to put up with existence for some fifty
wears more" Goethe's fifty years, 1t will
be observed, were completed in 1876.
Guy Linton was an acceptable performer
in the variety theatres OF this country, sp-
pearing as an actor and singer in humorous
sketches. He went to London a year ago,
aud now the TINES contains the following
report OF the INQUEST held on his body:
ssPolice Constable James Cox stated that he
saw the deceased standing with crowd Of
people round him. Witness asked him
what he was doing there, and he said he
had only gid, and wanted some more
money to pay fer nights lodging. Some
of the bystanders gave him more money,
ard the deceased attempted to walk
away. but he was SO weak that he
fell to the ground and appeared
thoroughly exhausted. Witness felt GER
tain thas he was in s starving condition.
He had the deceased removed TO White
chanel Iufrmary. Eliza Ryder, nurse at
the infirmary, stated that the deceased wss
only skin and bones. He never rallied,
although everything that was possible was
done for him. He told her that he had
earned few half pence by selling matches
and envelopes. DR.. scott said that food
was gwen MIN, but he was too far gone to
rally. He had suffered greatly from want
of food. The cause Of death was destitu-
ton and exposure.n Linton had consid-
cradle talent, but could not conquer his love
Of alcohol.

STRIKE ON THE Ill CAPTAIN.
Five Feet Of Ore Worth From $500 to
500 per Ton.
From the Colorado Mining News.

From ting Colorado Mining News.
The Ell Captain is one Of the best
properties in this district. D.. D..
Bliven, of Mexico, Mo-, and some Ill
inois parties bought the mine recently
from j. r. Mead, paying a pretty
good price therefor, but subsequent
developments have justified the wis
dom of the purchase. The claim was
located in 1880, and a vein of very
rich ore discovered. The owners did
some work in 1881. but were very
careful about it, evidently having
heard of the man who sunk his shaft
too deep. The present owners began
sinking on the vein about ten days
ago, and in that tine have sunk the
incline about ten feet and taken out
about 20 tons of ore, much of it very
high grade. The vein Of ore is now
between four and five feet wide, and
increases IN width and richness with
every foot of depth. 1t is uncovered
at the surface by an open cut, and for
a distance of 40 feet shows from three
to five feet in width OF the same char
acter of ore as appears in the incline.
The ore is dry, carrying very little
lead, but shows a great deal of silver
glance, horn silver, and sulphide of
silver, with a little free gold, and is
worth from fifty to eve hundred
dollars per ton. Several assays have
been obtained from it this week run
ming from 1000 to 1000 ounces sill
yer. Mr.. Bliven has three men at
work On a boarding house 20x24 feet,
story and a half high, for the accom-
mediation of the miners; he also has
four men at work in the mine and ex-
poets to double the force before the
first of July.

Fierce Flames.

Yesterday morning about 1 O'Clock
VIM. Bedell's residence, just east of
the public square, caught on fire and
vas almost totally destroyed. 1t is
thought the fire originated from a de-
fectiye iue. as the first known of the
matter was the kitchen filed with
smoke. The furniture and other
household goods Eere saved, but in a
damaged conditPn. The house be-
longed to Mr.. Bedell and was in
sured for $500, and the household
goods for 5000. The fire depart
ment was promptly on hand and did
good service, saving a meagre por'
ton of the building.

The Campaign in Audrain.

AVN III sbA5So LouSA
The campaign for county officers
in Audrain has opened out in earnest,
some nine candidates being announced
for the various offices. Among the
list we notice the name Of our young
friend, Thos. B. Buckner, as a can
didate for Prosecuting Attorney. Mr.
Buckner is a native of the grand old
Democratic county of Galloway
took his Collegiate cours at West
minister, Fulton, graduating in 1875;
came to Audrain soon after and stud
led law under KEENAN, & Mcintyre !;
from there went to Ann Arbor, Mich
igan, where he graduated in the law
course of that popular institution, re-
turning to Mexico in 1877, where he
has ever since resided. He is pos
sessed of good legal-mind, and withal
is a clever, genial gentleman, and
from our acquaintance with him, We
feel warranted in thus favorahy in:
Producing him to the citizens of Sal.
ing township, believing, as we do.
that if elected to the position he would
reflect credit on his county. Alt

Centralia Pony Club.

lawn tiS = uhi
A certain Dutch lightning rod man
from Mexico, was caught n evening
recently taking a wheelbarrow load of
coal from a car on the side track be-
longing to Jay Gould. The boys
decided to have some fun out of the
lightning deviator, and appointing a
suitable officer, had him arrested,
brought before a mock tribunal, and
the case tried in due form, with quite
a flourish of legal talent on both sides.
Dutchy thought it was regular, and
when the jury brought in a verdict of
guilty and assessed his punishment
at fine and imprisonment, he broke
down and cried like a child, saying :
ooh, shentlemens, my wife has got a
leedle baby only two weeks old, and
if she hears of dis dings, she gone
and died NIT herself right away
The badly frightened dutchman was
finally released and rejoiced greatly.

Herman jacobson and ]. Blum,
nephew and son-in-law Of NJ. Blum,
will at once build a large hotel just
west of Jake's saloon. The hotel
will have four stories and basement,
and will have about forty rooms.
The Office and dining oom will be or
the first floor. This is a good loca-
ton for a hotel and will, we think, be
a paying investment. 1t is on the
main street from the depot to the

Public schooI. Entertainment.

The annual entertainment of the
Union Literary Society Of the High
School came off at the opera house
last Friday night. The programme,
though somewhat extended, was very
interesting, and the audience were
highly pleased. Each member of the
graduating class received beautiful
floral gifts. The net proceeds amount
ed to about $50, which goes to the
public school library. Rev. j. C..
Armstrong opened the exercises of
the evening by offering prayer. Miss
Matte Shea delivered the salutatory
address in a very pleasing style, and
it was replete with good and valuable
thoughts. H. J. Wigginton rendered
1.-THE Curse of Regulus'' very ac-
ceptably. The next in order ON the
programme was the debate as to
whether Mexico should have water
works.
Resolved, That it would be expedi-
ent for the City of Mexico to issue
bonds to the amount of $4,000 for
the establishment of water works.
Benz. Phillip opened for the affirm
alive, and handled the subject thor
oughly, making a splendid argument.
He showed himself to be a young man
of far more than ordinary ability,
competent to tackle a much knottier
question. Chas. o. Harding, follow
ing for the negative, made an able
defense for his side of the question.
w. D. Thomas and E. B. Reagan
appeared in order named, presenting
the closing argument. The judges
were Messrs. w. H. Lee, James
Pasqueth and R. D. Dunbar. A de-
cision was rendered in favor of the
negative. The rendering of the reci-
tation, "No Sects in Heaven by
Miss Florence Patton was well de-
livered. F. r., Jesse presented the
Speakers Medal to his classmate
j. T. Reagan, who, by a vote of the
class, was decided to be the best ora
tor of the high school. Mr.. Reagan's
response was well delivered, showing
the young gentleman to be possessed
of fine elocutionary powers. The
next was a recitation, CANCELS OF
Buena Vista" by Miss Ida Herman,
and was well rendered. The concert
recitation by the school was a pleas
ing feature of the evenings entertain
ment. Miss Eva White recited in 8
beautiful manner a little piece, en-
titled, "Will the New Year Come To-
Night, Mammal" Geo. A. Salling's
"Uncle DanPs .Apparition" was ap.
plauded. Miss Mamie Wright read
the valedictory in a modest yet forci-
BILE manner, and it was a literary gem.
Prof. Carnes, by request, recited two
comic selections. After the close OF
the entertainment the members of the
society held a levee at the residence
of Prof. j. p. Blanton, where refresh
ments were served and a jolly good
time had by all present.
Few towns can boast of such al
excellent public school as Mexico

placing at the head of this institution
