''No; no hosting works-not if know it.
You can fool away good deal of good, hard
coin on hosting works" "How then do you
run your mine" "On the assessment plan,
sir. That's the latest and most approved
method. When We have good map of the
lower workings we don't need any works to
speak OF. i Keep a man in Virginia at $50

as the law allows. l am the president, board
of trustees, secretary, treasurer, and every

course draw salary for all the offices, and
when get through drawing salaries I turn
the rest over to the agent in Virginia to pay

he saves enough to pay himself. This is
what l call scientific mining, sir. You get
the silver out OF the pockets of the stock
holders and leave the vast argentiferous and
auriferous deposits in your claim Tor your
children, who can go right ahead and de-
velop the mine just as soon as the public

the Utah man, "my style of mining keeps

The Dawn OF U,ah.. De,,veraucs.

The attitude OF the people, and the pas
sage by the unanimous Senate of the Ed
munds bill, has aroused hope and Joy in
Utah. The Salt Lake Tribune describes the
awakening enthusiasm in the following elo-
quent words. The time is ripe, the thrill
of better life, or a new creation, is even
now felt in Utah. There are thousands OF
Mormon hearts throbbing as throbbed the
hearts OF the slaves when the pulsations
made in the air by the thunder of the guns
that opened fire on Sumter gave such an un-
rest to the republic, and when something
which could not be seen or heard carried to
hearts in slavery an assurance that olsen
thrallment and regeneration were near The
Mormon chiefs know just how the Assyrian
king felt when, encircied with lurid light,
the dreadful, cabalistic characters took form
upon the wall of his banquet hall. 1t needs
no Daniel to interpret now. This Territory
is about to be redeemed from the dominion
of false teachers; in ten thousand Mormon
souls, already the first notes Of a new hymn
to freedom are beginning TO sound; this
hymn will ere long break into real music,
and will swell higher and higher, and with
deeper and deeper tones, until in Utah the
altar OF home will grow sacred; until women,
released from slavery, shall De worthy to be-
come the mothers of free men,"

From an Appeal Correspondent
CRoCKETT's BLUFF, February 24.-Our
town on the bluff is brisk and breezy, rather
breezier than brisk, in fact, for our elevated
position gives the wind dangerous advan-
tage. After treating us to every variety OF
weather, the "powers that be" have ordained
clear, cold spell, for which we return
thanks. White river is very high, and is
evidently ambitious of rising still higher, so
that even the often-quoted "oldest inhab-
liant" will be completely adrift. We feel no
uneasiness about our river front. Verify,
the stable White is a better neighbor than
the treacherous Mississippi. White river
bottom is under water, and parties owning
cattle over there have been busy rescuing
them. Very few accidents, we learn.
Mr.. |. Inman's fleet of boats, loaded with
hoop-poles are all in readiness, and he leaves
to-day for New Orleans. Mr.. Inman shows
a laudable spirit of enterprise in developing
the resources OF the country. May his trip
TO the Crescent City prove both pleasant and
profitable.
Mr.. James Word returned from Memphis
a few day since, on the Josie Harry.
Crockett's Bluff blesses its lucky star
every day since rum and riot were abolished,
and peace and temperance took up their
abode. Trade bore up under the shock adj
mirably, and our people have shown very
plainly that whisky formed no part OF the
attraction which drew them downward.
Entire nous, the very few noses that "erst
were red are white again.
Labor has been uncertain and unreliable,
until some OF our farmers imported q lot OF
hands that have supplied the demand in
measure. The resolve to produce home
made luxuries is gaining ground, and the
relative merits OF amber and ribbon cane are
engrossing topics. 1t will be safe TO predict
that more wheat, oats and rye will be planted
this year than ever before. The intelligent
men who represent our farming interest do

the party managers, warning to the caucus
and all that. as though it meant no more
than this, show very inadequate apprecia-
ton of what is really involved. II this vic
tory is to be anything more than transitory,
the party managers have nothing more to
do with the internal affairs Of the city, and
party caucus is an impertinence. 1t will
require vigilance, of course, to keep the
politicians in their proper place, but they
could do nothing without the acquiescence
of the citizens, and if the citizens really
want honest government they will tolerate
no more politics in the public business" In
discussing the good results which have fol-
lowed the reform movement in Philadelphia
the Times says: Several of the reform can
didates for councils are elected by compare
lively small msjorities. Page has only 90;
Milton, IO1; Sanders, 1852; Townsend, ODD;
Roberts, 1858; Woolverton, 81; Smethurst,
%; Clay, 95; Grim and Marshall, about 2S5;
Smith, %, and Whitaker, 4S. Only few
years ago the bosses would have smiled at
such Insignificant majorities. They wouldn't
have taken the trouble to send their experts to
squelch such tri1ing figures against them, but
they would have detailed their iourneymen
and apprentices for such light jobs, and every
candidate before named would have been re-
turned defeated by double or more majority
than the people gave them. The difference
between then and now is that elections now
elect whereas the bosses then elected by re-
turns regardless of the votes of the people.
The committee of one hundred have sent a
score of boss ballot-thieves to prison; the
police are out of politics, thanks to Mayor
King, and fslsifying returns is among the
most dangerous of occupations in Philadel-

WEDNESDAY, MARCH l. 1SSa
sTARTLING BUSINESS FIGURES.

The general trade of the country is pre-
senting circumstances that business men will
do well TO note. They are not at present
alarming, but they suggest the Importance
of keeping capital within control where it can
be made available in contingencies. During
1881 our exports of domestic produce de-
creased to the extent of Sol 100000. This
decrease occurred wholly during the last
four months of the year. Up 70 the end of
August the domestic export figures stood, for
1881, S542, Sl2,6S4, against S542, 3S1 POS in
1880; thence to the end of December, 1881,
S271 ,34S, $50, against 1888, 1S2, 270 in 1880.
On the other hand, down to the end of
July, imports had steadily decreased, but
the increase during the last FIVE months OF
the year was $32, 5,57S, nearly all within
the last four months. As remarkable change
months the value of exports of wheat de-
clined So 100000 of -four S., O00, 900, of corn
S5,000,000, and of tobacco S2,500,000. In
these months great part of the decline evil
IDENTIFY was due to the artificial maintenance
in this country OF prices not warranted
by the state of the markets else
where. That such prices were not war
ranted by the state of the markets here is
proved by the great accumulation of I'M
sold products, which has at last become
20 heavy as to force fall in prices Ii our
high prices of breadstuffs have caused Europe
to purchase elsewhere than from US, and if
the European harvests this season should
prove good, we are likely to have large
stocks left on hand unsold. Figures such as
are here presented show clearly how heavily
the whole country may have to pay on ac-
count of the vast arrangement legitimate
commerce suffers from the wild and reckless
effects of gambling in futures" The New
York Tribune says upon the state of things
here explained: at would be difficult to
point to another period in the history of the
country in which there occurred SO sudden
and violent a change in the course of COM

THE MERRY FIDDLER.

Sometimes If you listen, listen
When the sunlight fades TO gray,
You will hear strange musician
At the quiet close of day;
Hear a strange and quaint musician
On mis- shrill-vOiced fiddle play
He bears a curious fiddle
On his coat OF shiny black,
And draws the bow across the string
In creyices and in crack;
Till the sun climbs up the mountain
And foods the earth with light,
You will hear this strange musician
Playing-playiHg all the night,
Sometimes underneath the hearthstone
Sometimes underneath the floor,
He plays the same shrili music,
Plays the same tune DER and Ger;
And sometimes in the pasture,
Beneath cold gray gtOuc,
He lightens up the sinews
And fiddles all alone.
It may be in the autumn,
From the corner of your room

Sounding out upon the gloom;
