Capitalists, Of moderate or large means
should come.
Business men in search of good OPEN

Pr0spcctOrs who have the wherewithal
to buy . grub stake and outfit may

Good miners may come.
Carpenters, painters, joiners and
smelters may come.
Teamsters, woodchoppers, and saw

Men who cannot readily place Them
selves under one or the other of these
heads had better not come. This COM

pockets, sneak-thieves, burglars, high
way robbers or men whose i<lleness will
perforce drive them to desperate under

Sneak thieving has not been unusual
already this spring. In two or three
cases attempts at highway robbery have
been made. Such state of affairs would
be unsafe for the community and the
community propose to render It unsafe
for the thieves.

Last Monday . miner named Frank

The Crisis in Egypt.

There is ground for supposing, in
spite of the denial sent by the Birth En-
bassy at Constantinople, that an ar
rangement has been made by which, in
certain contingencies, British ard French
men-of-war would occupy Port Said and
Alexandra Harbor. General Menabrea,
the Italian Ambassador at London. has
received the most positive instructions
not to uphold the Egyptian policy OF
England and France. Italy holds that
if armed intervention in Egypt becomes
inevitable 1t should be effected by Tur-
kish troops.
Prince Bismarck has replied to the
Turkish note relative to the joint action
Of England and France in Egypt that
the Porte will do we'll to await the ex.
planation it has asked from those pow
ers before taking further action. The
Vienna correspondent of the Times
says: "England and France have arriv.
ed at complete understanding in re,
gard 10 their collective action, and will
so inform the Porte in their ] oint answer
to its note"
The Cairo correspondent of the Times
says: "There are come indications that
the Notabes will waive their claim to
exclusive right of voting the budget
hut will claim the right to vote it con
jointly with the Ministers. The ques
ton, however, cannot be touched unit
the nature of the ministerial responsi
bility is defined, and unless the Notahle'
abate their pretensions on this poin
there is little hope Of settlement"

Rough on the Masher;
: Detroit Free Press .


A woman and terrier dog reached
the Union depot yesterday half an hour
before the time of the GRAND Trunk
train for Buffalo, and while the woman
sat down in the waiting room as the best
thing she could do, the dog made the
tour of the room several times, and then
curled up on seat not far away TO get
wink of sleep before being turned over
to the tender Care Of the baggage-man:
All things were so so, when a yong man
with good deal of cane and watch
chain and necktie sauntered in and took
a cool survey of the various females.
The one nearest the dog not only had q
Young aud pleasant face. but she was all
alone. After satisfying himself OF this,
the young man advanced and made q
graceful bow and inquired:
"Beg pardon, but do you go east2"
She nodded.
"Ah / thought so. If you have any
baggage shall be most happy-ah--
shall be most happy to"
He had all the time been preparing I'd
sit down beside her on the dog, and the
sentence was not yet finished when he
sank gracefully back. Some dogs have
been sat down on So often that they
don't mind it, but this terrier had al
ways been pampered pet, and had been
given proper time to shake off sleep and
get his legs under him. When suddenly
buried under 140 pounds Of masher his
ideas must have been terribly confused;
hut not for long. A clock could not
have ticked over six times when the
young man began to rise up and whoop,
and he was scarcely up when he made q
course for the door which upset every
bandbox and satchel for width OF ten
feet AS he went out of the door, q
black object let 60 of him and tro.ted
back, and it was only when the dog be:
gan rubbing against the baseboard to
restore himself to his former round
shape that anyone was able to discove
why the frenzied young man had left il
such hurry.

The Safest Seat.

The frequency of collisions on rail-
roads has raised the Question, which is
the place of greatest security in a rail-
road train3 1t is very we'll known that
the car nearest the engine is exposed to
the least dust, and that the rear car of a
train is generally safer than the front
car. Tue safest is probably the last car
hut one in a train of more than two
cars; that Is, there are fewer chances ol
accidents to this than any other If il
is way train at moderate speed, or any
train standing still, collision is posi-.
BILE from another train in the rear, ir
which the last car receives the frs
shock Again, the engine and the front
cars of train will often run over .
broken rail, or COW, or stone, withou
detriment, while the last car, havin!
nothing to draw it into the line of tn
train, is free to leave the tract. Mex
to the forward car, the rear Car is prob
ably the most unsafe In the train. Th
safest seat is probably near the cente
of the last car but one.

DON'T LET THEM BURY ME DEEP.
BY WILL CARLTON.

1t will interest readers to know tha
this touching poem is founded upon al
actual occurrence, which has lately OBJ
taiued some publicity through the news
papers
Lift me bit in my bed, father;
Press your warm lips to my cheek;
Put your arm under my head, father
1 am so tired and so weak.
l can not stay long awake now
Many night shall sleep.
Promise one thing for my sake, now
Don't let them bury me deep!
Cover my bel with sweet flowers, father
Those loved so well to see,
So. in the long lonely hours, father,
They II be companions for me.
II I should wake in the night, then.
Their lips my sad face would sweep.
Make my grave cheerful and bright, then,
Don't let them bury me deepl
When to the church you all go. father,
As the sweet Sabbath bell tones,
I shall be drearv, you know, father,
Lying out there all alone,
Hang my bird near tree, then
Watch over me he will keep;
He will sing sweet hymns to me, tten-
Don't let them buy me deep!
Call on me whene'er you pass, father,
Where by your side I oft ran;
Put your face down on the grass father,
Near to my own as you can.
If I could look up and hear you,
Into your arms would creep;
Let me sometimes nestle near you
Don't let them bury me deep!
LooK! who has come for me now, father
Standing 60 near to my bed?
Some one is kissing my brow, father
Mamma. thought you were deadl
See! she is smiling bright to You.
Beckons for you not to weep;
'Tis not goodbye, but goodnight, to you
They can not bury me deep!
