Dexter'S Luck.
Story of the Discovery of tho Robert k Lee Mine fin Colorado.


Last evening reporter met MT. Richard Knowles, a pominent miner of the Gunnison country, in Colorado. He said: ''While was yet at Leadville man came up there from Denver named Dexter-Jim Dexter they called him-and he was full of life and hope, and had some money. Dexter looked about him for while, and finally bought 8 claim on Carbonate Hill, which had, at that time, not been prospected very well. He paid, I think, about $l5, 5,oO0 for it, and set to work putting in machinery and sinking the shaft, which was already down some 100 feet or more He worked away on the mine, people laughing at him good deal but he never once lost heart. The mine had not shown up single thing in the way of mineral and the shaft had been sunk by that time several hundred feet. Dexter did not know what to do. He had now spent nearly all the money he had, and nothing was coming in. One day in the early part of the year 1879 par ty came to him and asked him what he would take for his mine. Dexter told him, and 8 bargain was made between them. The price paid was, I think, $50, 900, some $5, ,OoO more than Dexter had spent on it altogether. He was mighty glad to get the $50, ,OO0 and thought himself we'll out sf bad bargain. He rushed out to Carbonate Hill and ordered the miners to drop their tools and quit work. This was about o'clock in the afternoon. He said, Boys, have sold this d-d hole and don't want you to work another min.
 
 now and you can quit We'll, the miners l had just finished drill and were going to place blast and uncover some rock, and they asked to be allowed to finish it before they | quilted work. Mo- said Dexter, come out l don't want you to work any more there is nothing in the d-d old hole.' The men reluctantly quilted and departed. Dexter goi | his money and was happy.
 1 Well, the mine had been bought by 6 stock company, and in a short time they be gan work on it. Now, young man, what am going to tell you is the solemn truth ; said the miner ''Those fellows went ur there to that mine and laid fuse to the blas | left by Dexter's men and touched it on. Aftel the smoke cleared away they went in to see how much rock had been loosened, wher what do you think There before their eyes they saw the richest body of silver ore whicl has ever been seen since the world began. Al that time hundreds of thousands of dollars met the gaze of the delighted owners, of tn richest kind of ore. Well young fellow, | continued MT. Knowles ''that mine was th' celebrated Robt. E. Lee, which has mad everybody rich who has had anything to d. with it since Jimmy Dexter sold it. Million of dollars have been turned out of it. and il
 is the greatest silver mine in the world''

DETERMINED REFORMERs.

DETERMINED ED REFORMERS.
 The question of Civil Service Reform is likely to play an important part in several of
 the Congressional districts of Massachusetts.
 In the Second district the reformers are wag-
 ing warm fight against the renemination of
 Congressman Harris, and if he succeeds in
 getting renominated there will probably be
 an Independent candidate run against him.
 This may be Charles Francis Adams, jr.
 There is trouble also in the Fifth district,
 which is now represented in Congress by the
 Hon. Selwyn Z Bowman, who is understood
 to be candidate for reelection. The city
 of Cambridge is in this district and the C1vil Service Reform Association of Cambridge has
 lifted up its voice against Mr. Bowman. It
 declares that MT. Bowman has not during
 his service in Congress made any effort to forward those principles of reform in the civil service to which the commonwealth has, in the most public and solemn manner, con- mitted herself, but has, on the contrary, en- tirely ignored those principles and has openly shown his disregard of them by great activi- ty in promoting the appointment of persons notoriously hostile to such reform. Since Git has become plain that resolutions, pro- tests and arguments by the people are seldom needed by members of Congress, or by can didates Tor that office unless followed by de- termined action at the polls, and it is especial ly the duty of this association to oppose un- worthy candidates; and since this association wishes to express it's disapproval of tho re- cent action of an irresponsible committee of Congressman who have assumed for party DUrnOS6S AXtOrf employees of the government the association resolved to work against the nomination of Mr. Bowman, and if he is nominated to vote against him. It also re- solved that no candidate for Congress should be supported at the pslls unless he is civil service reformer, and condemned the action of the committee of Congress in Ievying po- litical assessments.
 This means business. It remains to be seen whether the party managers in Massa- chusetts will pay any attention to the de
 mands of the civil service reformers. The Boston Ad0ertiser speaks some sooth- ing words to the reformers, as follows : l "Probably great many of them would wish ! that the Republican party might nominate a | candidate whom they can cordially support l rather than to be forced to place in the field a candidate of their own. It would be very
 unwise to cut loose from party whose rank ! and file are strongly in favor of the reform
 which our Quincy friends have at heart, be- l fore it is yet determined whether the candi-
 date of the party is to be ono who represents | it's best sentiment, or one who will use fair
 words before election and prove himself an I enemy of tEe reform after he reaches Wash. \ ington." It is very evident that there will
 be some cutting loose from the Republican party in Massachusetts unless suitable nomi l nations are made.

A Young English Earl Takes Another
 Mans Wife.
 From the New York World]
 England has new premier countess who is not likely to be received st court by the Queen with open arms. Charles Henry John Chetwynd Talbot, twentieth Earl of Shrews- bury in the peerage of England, Earl of Waterford in the peerage of Ireland, Earl Talbot, Viscount Ingestre and Baron Talbot of Hensol in the peerage of Great Britain, Premier Earl of England and Hereditary Great Seneschal of Ireland, youth just turned of twenty one, was yesterday married to the divorced wife of Mir. Miller r-Mundy, of Derbyshire. Lord Shrewsbury, who was born November 13, 1860, is the son of the nineteenth Earl, a man of ability, conspicu- ous in his youth, Lord Ingestre, for his sympathy with all reformatory and humani tarian movements. His mother was the daughter of a naval officer whose widow af- rewards married the late Earl of Eglinton. He succeeded his father twentieth Earl of Shrewsbury and fifth Earl of Talbot the 11th of May, 1877. The lady whom he has now married is four years his senior, having be en born in 1856. She was by birth a Miss Morewood, the daughter of Charles Rowland Palmer Morewood, of Alfreton Hall Derby shire, country gentleman of old family and good fortune, by hls marriage with Geor- aiana, daughter of the seventh Lord Byron, 1 the poets nephew and successor. Her broth CT is the head of the family of Palmer to which Lord Selborne belongs, the name of Morewood having been assumed with the l Morewood estates. Miss Morewood was married September 25th, 1873, to country gentleman of fortune and of family equal to her own, Mir. Alfred Edwa ard Miller Mundy, of Shipley Hall in Derbyshire, by whom she had one child, born in August, 1874. Some time in the spring of 1880 Mrs. Miller Mun- dy made the acquaintance of the Earl of Shrewsbury, then lad of twenty, and their intimacy soon became so marked as to lead to bickerings between her husband and her self. In April, 1881, she went to visit hel sister at Torquay, from which charming sea side resort she suddenly eloped with the earl Hsr husband and her brother followed then to Strasburg, where the fugitives had regis tered themselves at the Hotel de Ia Vile d, Paris as ''Mr. and Mrs Grafton and finally overlook them by a mere chance on a rail way train just as it moving out of thu station Mir.

NIonstrous Fungi.

Visitors to ancient wine vaults or damp coal pits sometimes astonishsd by the curious fungi which drape the walls with gruesome tapestry but every instance of this kind is thrown into the shade by the ex- traordinary growths which have recently been discovered in some of the deserted Mexican silver mines of Nevada The dank, warm timber galleries and drifts of these old work ings, abandoned to themselves for years, have silently given birth to a monstrous brood of morbid vegetation, which, apparently, has no parallel in the regions of the sunlight and the upper air In general they are all of snowy whiteness and some of the hooded masses rise up several feet from the ground like sheeted ghosts. Others, in the distance, take the form of bearded goats or sleeping owls, Here great punches of long white hair hang down from the roof and their huge pulpy masses cucumber the floor like brain stone coral. The latter appear to have sprung miraculously from something spilled upon | the rocks in past days, while the former seem to have cry stalllzed like hoar-frost from the ! atmosphere itself. Some of the rounded masses have actually lifted up from the floor | blocks of sfone weighing 10, 50 and even 100 pounds to Q height of three feet In the high CT levels of the mines, where the air is drier,
 the fungi are far less bulky than below, and much firmer in texture The shapes here are, however, more elaborate and beautiful. | One kind grows in a twisted spiral like 6 rams horn, to a length of five feet, and hangs from the rafters like trophy of tie chase, or, rather like a serpent suspended by the tail. i Another sort sends out stem the thickness
 of pencil to height of one or two feet
 where it blossoms into a bulbous knob some stool or thN common mushroom is to be
 found, and the wondrous growths have all | the aspect of being called into a special being
 by the pecullarities of their environment.

The outlook for the crops in England is not good. The grass is heavy, but much of it is down and the weather is unfsvorabls to the chance of getting it in good condition. Wheat is thin and poor, in some places not even half crop being expected, and severe loss will be added to the already sorely tried agricultural community. This condition of things is promising of good market for much of the surplus in the production of this country.

WATERBURY FARMERS CLUB.-At the meeting
Of the Farmers Club Saturday evening, March
4th, your correspondent was not able to be pres
emit, but the paper Of James Gregg, Esq, upon
"the education of the young" is spoken very
highly of by those who heard it. Saturday even
last, the club was opened by H. F. Hill, the presi-
dent j. S. Wheeler then read a paper upon
" The economy OF labor In the use of tools. "
Dairy tools were slightly mentioned some kind Of
large pans being used, where many cows are
kept, and an oscillatng, or some churn without
floats being in his judgment the best In treat
ing of sugar tools, Mr. Wheeler was evidently
more at home than in the dairy. He advocated
using old wood tubs for feed tubs or kindling
wood, and using tin for the sugar place; for boil
ing would use an evaporator. Every farmer
should also have a good wagon and dump cart
Also plows and harrows (gives his preference to
the Shares harrow" for thoroughly pulverizing
the soil). A good mower and rake are also indis-
pensable for successful farming. And when the
| tools are not in use, let them be under cover al
| ways keeping the wood work well painted. Their
instead OF wearing out the man, wear out the ma
chimes, let the team do the work and make tn,
| machinery truly " labor saving" At the close Of
the paper, a general discussion was entered int
| by members Of the club as to the best kinds o
machines, and rs to the utility OF some. Thu
gentleman formerly from Stowe was present, ant
entertained the club with what was done in "Y,
good old times in raising potatoes, etc. Mex
Saturday evening will probably be the last meet
ing OF the season, or until fall. At that meeting
there will be assigned to members Of the club diff
ferent crops upon which they will be requested
to experiment the coming season, and repor
upon the same at the meetings Of the society il
| the fall.
