The puzzle editor of the London Truth
recently offered prize for the best brief def
milton of kiss. An immense number Of
answers were received and many of them
published. The following list, containing
the best of them, makes interesting reading !:
A language all can understand,
In any age and any land
A harmony in red tGrosvenor Gallery.)
A kiss is declaration of love by deed of
mouth.
My definitions a commercial one.
A bill presented, and stamp thereon.
The ever-fashionable seal-skin.
The right Of a mother,
The toy of fiirt,
The hope of a lover,
The true ones desert.
Kisses are moths that steal from out the night
Flutter awhile, and perish in the light
Aspeecbless token
OF things so sweet
They can't be spoken.
A kiss is merely a contraction of the orbi-
cularis eris muscle.
Loves proof impression taken both before
And after letters. Oddly, too, the more
The prints repeated the Impressions stronger
And the true artists best effects last longer
A free press.
Child and mothers fond delight.
Lovers draught of sweetest bliss;
Woman's veil of keenest spite:
If fit material for a kiss you seek, .
You need but two lips and little cheek.
The key which opes the fatal door
To thoughts unknown, ungnessed before;
But whether tits for veal or woe
Those cen who use IL do not know.
Two pairs of lips and a couple of fools.
A kiss 10 be sweet must be under the nose,
But sweeter by far when Ills under the rose.
The soft touch Of a mothers lips on sleep
ing infants brow;
The impress warm, on rosy mouth, that
seals a lovers vow;
In ioy or sorrow, loves token sweet, when
tongues no word can speak;
Affections last fond tribute pressd on the
chill and changeless cheek.
Sir, kisses are many, and hard to define,
Some skim-milk and water-some madden
ing wine;
But kiss defined singly, by Venuss dove!
Should be the first clasp of strong fetters OF
love. .--r
The best definition of kiss
Why, barely, two mouthsful of bliss.
II may mean little, 1t may mean much,
And oftener nothing at all;
And it's always off as soon as it's on,
And it's never the same to all.
What part of speech il It? A noun some say.
Common and proper, vet no speech il hath,
Nor IL IL e'er apart. II takes away
The breath so that we "tell IL not in Gath"
Noun 1t may be, yet is its leading function
To lead the lips to form a sweet conjunction.
The salute by labial COTTON, the sweetness
of which depends upon the age of the par
ties. s
A most unasthetic result Of the close con-
tact Of two faces, sometimes exquisite, often
dangerous, and always unsatisfactory.
What's n kiss Simply this
-Four lips meet, two hearts greet;
Sans deceit, union sweet
Rapturel bliss That's kiss.
To pout your lips and place them, sir,
To Others close; and then,
BY suction TO compress them, sir,
vacuum within;
And, when this doth distress them, sir,
To oper them again
Humid seal Of fond affection, promise of a
future bliss
Outward sign of inward passion, such thy
definition, kiss.

And resolves that, come the hour

Oh, if ever come that hour,

New York, Feb. IA Washington
correspondent Of the Mail and Express
telegraphs: The subcommittee of
ways and means will report to the full
committee on the internal revenue.
They have canvassed the committee
and find a distinct majority ready to in
dorse them in addition to the proposed
reduction Of tax on distilled spirits to
fifty cents. They propose to reduce
the tax on tobacco and snuff to ten
cents per pound, cigars to "a per thou
sand, cigarettes TO sixty cents per thou
sand, and beer TO sixty cents per barrel
with no drawback. They will recon-
mend that the tax on all articles except
spirituous, yinous and malt liquors, TO-
bacco, cigars and cigarettes, be totally
repealed. The committee think the
amount of the reduction will be about
$50, ZOO, 900, leaving IS 1900, 900 of an.
nual revenue to be collected from the
remaining subjects of taxation. This
is based on the estimates of the trea-
sury department for the next fiscal
year..

Washington, Feb. 14.-The senate
committee on public lands discussed ut
length the resolution to instruct the at
torney general to defend titles to wes-
tern homesteads which are claimed by
Railroad companies to have been in
cluded in land grants to them. This
resolution involves directly lands inclu-
ded in the recent decision of Judge
Miller at Omaha, but indirectly it
touches title of many other homesteads.
The question is whether the entries
made upon the land included in the
railroad grants before hat land was
formally and finally withdrawn by the
government are good or not. Senator
Plumb stated that he knew at least 500
cases where this question entered into
the title, and that there were hundreds
Of other cases. The committee did not
conn to any conclusion.

A Work

New York, Feb. IA letter to the
World from Asplnwall dated 9th inst,
says: OF thirty BelgiaDs who arrived
here some months ago to work on the
canal, eighteen have died of Isthmus
fever. Those who escaped are leaving
as rapidly as possible. 1t is said that
thusfar since the commencement of the
work 1000 have died.
Hurne, Stevens 6 Lynch, of San
Francisco, have secured the contract
for the excavation of six millions of
cubic metres of the canal at thirty
cents, gold, per metre. This is con-
Sidered n remarkably low price. They
will have tn cut through swamp and
alluvial soil. 1t is worst section In the
whole surface of the canal. 1t was mere
that the dreadful mortality took place
when the Panama railroad was being
built; 5000 lives were lost and many
deaths were unchronicled.

Our Arapahoe..

Washington, Feb. IA. - Secretary
Kirkwood held a second conference to-
day with Arapahoe Indian chiefs. They
had listened eagerly last week to the
se%cretary's remarks in favor of their
settlement, and to-day they said were
convinced that such a course would be
to their advantage. Black Coal, prin-
cipal chief, asked If they could have
houses like white men, to which the
secretary replied that if they would
build them for themselves they would
be furnished necessary materials. Sec
rotary Kirkwood stipulated, however,
that they must not erect their tepees in
front of the houses and use the latter
for stables, as had heen asserted OF
other tribes. These Indians leave for
Wyoming in q few days.

CONGRESSIONAL.


AZ
Washington, Feb. 14.-The motion
Of Edmunds to consider the anti-poly-
gamy bill out of its order, was defeated
-29 to 81, and the consideration of the
calendar was proceeded with.
Upon the expiration of the morning
hour, the pension arrears resolution
came up. Elmunds again moved to
proceed with the anti polygamy bill,
but said he would not ask a vote on the
motion until the several senators who
had given notice of set speeches on
other subjects to-day, had been heard.
The unfinished buEiness was then in
formally laid aside, and Slater spoke
upon the Importance Of in
the northwest, and OF the Improvement
of Columbia river.
Vance then made a speech on tariff.

HOUSE.

Orth, from the committee on foreign
affairs, reported adversely the resolu
tion originally offered by Robinson, of

eral for his opinion as to whether if

writ Of habeas corpus, could lawfully

without trial or without the right of
the United States to demand his
release.
Robinson, of New York, desired de-
bate on the resolution, but the speaker
held that the pending motion to lay
upon the table was not debatable.
The house refused to lay the resolu-
ton upon the table, II to 70. Secre-
tary Folger has, in a communication to
the senate finance committee submitted
his views at ZENITH on Beck's bill to pre-
vent unlawful certification of checks by
national banks. The secretary does
not think the passage of this bill will
effect the object in view, as he says the
question Of what constituted unlawful
c~erti6cation would still have to be sub
jected to a jury. There is already a
law on the statute books to this effect,
and the secretary does o think the
Beck bill a add any specific force to
1t.
The motion to recommit the resolu-
ton regarding the Imprisonment of
Americans in English prisons was
carried with an amendment to include
the names of Michael Hart, II. o.
Mahoney, and John McEnry, with
O'Connor's. The apportionment bill
was taken up but the confusion wal so
great that the house adjourned.

The Lender Printing Company.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
LEADER printing company was held in
this office yesterday morning, during
which several stockholders transferred
their stock to Hon. w. G. Irvine, as
follows: Geo. L. Holt, J. W. Collins E.
A. Reed and +. II. Clark. Mr.. Irvine
has also secured the stock held by Hon.
NJ. E. Post.
At the meeting of the trustees held
subsequently, Messrs. Holt and Col
Inns resigned their positions as trustees
and as president and treasurer respec-
lively.
Mr.. Irvine and Mr.. John B. Morrow
were elected to Gil the vacancies in the
board, after which Mr.. Irvine was
elected president and treasurer.
A dividend of ten per cent. on the
capital stock was declared out of the
earnings since tue company was or.
gonized five months ago.
Mr.. Reed will retain his position as

He will shortly arrive in the city.

pany started out at first. News and
business will be first considerations:
politics will be an after consideration,

the affair must be managed with discre.
ton as three OF i've Of the states are de-
termined to accomplish a union Of all
under one government. Those three
states are the least, Guatemala, Saliva
dor and Honduras, and perhaps Costa
Rica also may consider the Invitation
as practical, IL not an intended defeat
of their purposes. Logan says lie is
not clear as to being able to obtain the
genuine cooperation Of all central
America states, but each will probably
ultimately agree to send a commissioner
and assume outwardly the appearance
Of sincere cooperation, while all will
probably send commissioners through
motives OF expediency. They may pos
sibly be instructed to secretly defeat
the ends of the convention as a means
Of restraining the aggressive tendency
of Mexico in the direction of Central
America. Congress would be attended
by the happlest results should a full
agreement be reached, but as the Cen.
trail American states are now in a cha
otto condition, politically considered,
with their future states wholly unfixed,
1t now appears through the operations
of the military forces. The hope of
the federal union in Central America
would be crushed at least in the imme-
diate present.
The other letter included in the cor
respondence is INT from Venezuela,
accepting the invitation with gratitude.
The ono from Mexico is of a non-com-
initial character.

Washington, Feb. 14.-The house
committee on elections to-day began
the hearing Of argument in the con
tested election case of Campbell vs..
Cannon, from Utah. Mcbride ap-
peared as attorney for Campbell, and
Gen. Payne represented Cannon. The
committee will hold an evening ses-
sion for the purpose of hearing further
arguments.
The committee on elections In the
house tonight considered the Campbell
Cannon test. Another session was ap-
pointed for tomorrow a. m, at which
it is expected a decision will be reached.
The opinion generally expressed Is that
the committee will report in favor OF
sending the election back to the people
of Utah. 1t is doubtful il such q re.
port will be accepted by the house.
Many Of the best lawyers in the body
are agreed that the fact of Cannon's
~polygamous record is not ground upon
which the house can legally deny him
admission, while 1t is quite within the
province of the house to expel him on
that account. Should he now go back
to the people he would undoubtedly be
reelected by a large majority, as before,
and the result would te rather to add
to his power and popularity in the
territory.
Should he, however, be first seated
and then by a two.thirds vote expelled,
he could not again be admitted to the
present house, IL the precedents are fol-
lowed. nor probably to any other sub3e-
quent house.

CLEANED from tho Mining Review.
The Lest developed, and ut present
most productive copper fields In the
United States is the Lake Superior.
Copper is being shipped from L'Anse,
Michigan, at the average rate of about
10 cars, or about $4,000 worth per
day.
The reports from the mines of Great
Britain for 1880 show sixty-one copper
mines which yielded 5,1s9 tons, valued
at S947, 1876.
The product of the Grand Portage
mine, of Michigan, for eight days in
December and the month of January
was 67 IONS 1,07e pounds.
In Maine it a now be stated au-
t~horitatively that good smelling copper
ore has been found, containing no
arsenic or anthony.
The Central American States, while
possessing good mines, are doing
nothing toward development, both eli
mate and population being opposed.
While Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and
Venezuela have rich copper deposits.
nothing in the way of output can be
expected from them for years to come.
But few copper mines are open as
yet in Asia. She does not furnish her
own supply of this metal. Doubtless
good mines will be found in Siberia,
Corea and British India.
Africa exports some copper ore to
Swansea, from the southern part, one
good mine of 80 per cent. ore having
been opened. A small amount of ore
is also obtained in Algiers.
On the West India Islands, Cuba is
the largest producer. in 1870 her pro-
duct being about $500 tons. San Do
mingo has fair copper mines, but not
much worked at present.
Brazil is but a small producer of
copper at present, and while good
mines will doubtless be found there her
present population will prevent their
immediate discovery and development.
Lately there has been opened IN Mis-
souri,, siXty-ive miles from st. Louis,
miles from the western bank of the
Mississippi, the Ste. Geneveive copper
basin.
In addition to its electrical use, in
the future, with the increase OF
wealth, culture and taste, copper or
bronze, its product, will he more and
more employed for domestic, industrial
and artistic purposes.
Maryland has some very poor ores, as
has also Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama.
These ores are mostly pyritous, and
large quantities OF sulpluric acid might
be extracted from them.
At the North State Co.'s copper
mine IN. c. the winzs 1t the second
level has been sunk 80 feet. The ore
has steadily improved, and the vein has
increased in width from - inches to 4
feet. the present average assay of the
ore is D per cent. copper, $50 gold and
SIS silver per ton OF 1000 pounds.
A very promising discovery Of copper
has recently been made in the town If
Sunderland, in the state of Vermont.
The vein is of large proportions and
has been traced a long distance on the
property. A large number of tests
have been made Of the ore and a con-
siderable quantity Of gold and silver
have been discovered.
