IN slavery days, the chimes of st.
M'chaels Church. Charleston, were
rung at z P. M. in winter and in sum-
mer, as signal to negroes that their
bedtime was nigh, and again an hour
later to warn them to disappear from the
streets, after which all blacks found
abroad were arrested. The custom was
continued until a few days ago, though
nobody has obeyed the bells since the
war. The mayor has now cut off the
salary of the ringer, and the act is ex-
citing considerable discussion among
the old residents.

An ldyIIic Scene.

An Engligh officer and his wife, while
travelling through Asia Minor, came up
on an encampment of Eurcomans. The
men were absent, watching over their
hocks, and only the women, large boned
and huge-limbed, were at home. They
looked with contempt on the little Eng
lish lady, and could rot restrain their as
tonishment when they saw that she, in
stead of waiting on her husband, was
waited on by him.
I'VE never saw such a useless thing
BEFORE" they said. "What is she good
for?."
At sunset the horizon seemed peopled
with men and their hocks. Each flock
approaching the camp by itself, under
the charge of man and boy. The
lambs came in first, and remained
waiting a short distance from the camp.
When all the focks had come IN from
the distant pastures, a signal was given,
and one set of sheep were allowed to go,
and q corresponding number of lambs
from the opposite side were let loose.
Each little one made straight for it's own
mother, which it had not seen since
morning. Both were delighted at again
meeting.
The lambs at once sought refreshment
The metherless ran about bleating and
receiving many q push during their
search for food. The wolves had killed
their mothers and the foster ones were
not inclined to feed the orphans.
After feeding, the lam bs and the moth
ers were again separated, to remain apart
until morning, when they again met for a
few minutes before going out to pasture.
The owners, being dairymen, fancy that
in this way they get more milk from
their sheep.

ONLY A BOX.
BY WILL CARLETON.

Only box, secure and strong,
Rough and wooden, and six feet long;
Lying here in the drizzling rain,
Waiting to take the up-bound train.
Only its owner, just inside,
Cold and livid, aid CLASSY eyed;
Little to him if the train be late
Nothing has he 20 do but wait,
Only an open grave, somewhere,
Ready to close when he gets there;
Turfs and grasses and fowerets sweet,
Ready to pres him meath their feet.
Only band of friends at home,
Waiting to see the traveller come;
Naught he will tell of distant lands:
He can not even press their hands.
He has no stories weird and bright,
He has no gifts for child's delight:
He did not come with anything;
He had not even himself to bring.
Yet they will softly him await,
And he will move about in state;
They will give him, when he appears.
Love and pity, and tender tears.
Only box, secure and strong,
Rough and wooden, and six feet long;
Angels guide that soulless breast
Into long and peaceful rest

THE STAR GROUP.
Another Strike in this Very Promising
Property.

News has just been received Of an
other important strike in the Star
group Of mines, near this city. In ex-
tending drift No. 2, running north
easterly with the vein and 200 feet in
from the surface, it was necessary to
start winze which, at depth of six
feet, cut through a body of carbonate
and galena ore fully two feet thick,
which is widening in depth. The ore
is of the usual high grade which has
been secured from the mine since it
was first opened. This new body of
high-grade ore promises to largely in
crease the product and value of the
property.
Ore has been shipped from the
group constantly during the past two
months, as, owing to it's advantageous
location, work is conducted without
inconvenience from snow, and the
roads are always open to the mine.
This property was bonded to Fred.
J. Scott, last month, who is at present
East on business connected with the
group, and should he succeed in organ
izing stock company, there will be
large shipments made next season.
On the second level alone there is at
present some 200 feet or more of ore
ready for stopping, in addition to that
opened in other parts of the mine.
Up to the present time large force

each man wondering why the other
didn't get in out of the cold, when
third stepped up, and, thinking the
other two had probably been up all

breakfast, he proposed to treat. This
proposition seemed to irritate the
Sheriff, who instantly sang out, "Who
bids? Who bids? Who bids?" and
in response heard laugh from two
directions, evidently meant as appre-

individuals had collected together out
