THE RIVER OF LIFE.

The following poem relating to the illness OF
the late Senator Hill, sent anonymously to The
Atlanta Constitution, and much admired now
proves to have been written by the wife of the
ate senator's son:
oh. rugged res, css river;
River Of years-river Of tears
Thou river OF Life
liver Of tears Yet oer thy bosom JOY, as a bird
flashes its gaudy wing,
And drinks its draught of ecstasy from out thy
crystal spring.
oh, sunlit river, shsdowy river,
River Of dncSs-riyer of sadness-
III u river OF Life,
River OF gladness Yeto'er the blue Of the bcsuti
ful sky floats cloud,
out OF whose heecy whitcness the Loom Of God
isweaying a shroud,
Oh beautiful river while the star is
glowing
River of Life when healths elixir flowing
Paints thy waters its rosy dye
sun.lit river when the days are full of peace
And the calm OF the song the rver sing.,
And the quiet Joy the lul aby brings,
We feel viii never c.ae.
Aud while the waters glow and gisten
All, how seldom do we listen
TO the turning of the pondcrols wheel OF
Time, .... .HH
over whose granite sides are rushing
The waves OF the river In symphony sub
lime,
But when the waters are black and bleeding
Dyed with dread Disc ase's breath,
And we feel the river leading
To the fathsml, IS sea of Death
Then, ah then, in our agony OF soul
We cry, "Oh, wheel of Time one moment
Stay
Turn back the river, and cease to roll,
For a life we love is passing away
But God is the Miller, and the wheel Is turning,
Though Grief's hot irons our hearts are burning
And the rivers song-is only moan,
And the grinding whee.-sounds a groan.
But from out our midnight gloom
Look up! God knowcth best,
See the life we love as it catches the bloom
olnhnte radiance and rest
Its waters have mingled with the crystal stream
Flowing so close to the throne,
And the waves have caught lhe golden CLEAN
And the rivers voice, Gods tender tone.
And the river in Heaven in Its crystal calm
Found its way through the golden rars.
Flowing upward-beyond the garden OF
To the feet of god and His Lamb.
Oh, royal river radiant river!
River of Light-rlver Of Life lid.
Thou river Of God.

NEW i0RK'S PUTTY BLOWERS.
A Curious Phase of Printers Life in the
Metropolis.
Cor. Texas sinlnps.

'uis itAhh 0iiNheh'
Over on West street, among the nu-
melous haunts of the vicions and indo-
lent, is a bedizened and hy-spotted rum
rancho known as the Honest Mans"
This place is great card with the putty
blowers. Let me explain. The me-
chanical labor of a printing house is di-
vided between the type-setters and press
men. OF the latter class are the feeders,
and the life of one of these is rough in
deed, both within doors and without.
With day and night gangs he tolls in the
company of men whose sole aim and OBJ
ject appears to be, like his own, TO get
money for hush. II is small won,ler,
with the monotony of putting down
sheet after sheet Of paper on the form,
their eyes steadily fixed on the press
guides, and working in dark and lily
ventilated cellars, with only thirty min
utes rest in twelve hours only seeing
the backs of each other for hours at a
time, and the click-clack monotony new
er varied save by the profanity and COM
plants of the foreman; small wonder, /
say, that so many of these feeders de-
generate into bummers who work as occa-
sion offers, and merely to obtain the
wherewithal to satisfy their depraved ap-
petites, that they drop into the lazy care
less life. which is frittered away on shady
corners in summer, and in sun-warmed
hooks in winter - -t u a,eN1ryv
Hence it COMES that they materially
cluster together, and are, by remmon ac-
ceptanccofthe typographical fraternity,
and other denizens of Printing Honse
Square : knowr n as the PUTTY blowers"
The origin of this title, -like .heaso' '.ri
the man who struck Billy Pattots a, is
shrouded in mystery. 1t probably arose
from the idea of printer that no happi-
ness was comparable to the bliss expert

Gable Notes.

The following items of interest in re-
gard to Cable have been gathered from
an old-timer who has just returned to
Butte:
Mr.. J. c. Slavery has gone East to yet
a 4Ostamp mill which he will at once
erect, for the Cable mine. This Is one
of the Oldest mines in the country, hav-
ing been known and worked since 1867.
The original 3O-stamp mill was one of
the first put up in Montana, but lay for
such length of time unused that it's
value became much impaired.
The tunnel from the bottom of the
mountain into the Cable mine cost
nearly $4,000. 1t is run i'm some seven
or eight hundred feet. When first
made a land slide carried away and laid
bare several hundred feet next its
mouth, and the rich placer deposits
which yielded 500, 600 were then dis
covered.
Some thirty-fivc or forty men are be.
ing worked in the mine, and altogether.
for wood gathering, surface work and
all, sixty men are employed.
Some twenty men are now at work in
the Pyrenees mine, at Georgetown.

A OANARD


There was an idle rumor current yes
terday in the streets that reduction in
wages Of piners was contemplated in
this district. Such . report, however
taseless, naturally excited considerable
talk. Investigation proved 1t to be Ut
terly groundless. The wages which mi
ners in this district now receive, viz
$3.50 and $500, are small in al con-
science, and any reduction would only
be met by universal outcry, but would
endanger the prosperity and good name
Of the camp. As far a. could be learned
yesterday from questioning the leading
superintendent, no reduction in mi
ners' wages has been even contemplated.
They pronounce the rumor baseless.
