FROM OUR SOUTH END.

Ell DORADO CAsYos, Sept. G, 1882.
Affairs at FL Dorado Canyon are look
ing up. They are gradually and surely
coming TO the front The lethargy
OF the PAST twenty odd years has died
its natural death and in its stead the
germ of modern enterprise is beginning
to sprout into real life and activity.
However great the merits of mining
camp, she may struggle on forever in the
management Of conceit, ignorance and
dishonesty, and exhaust the calendar OF
failures, but she can never hope to take
the ascending scale till experience, hon
esty, patience and determination have
taken the field and wrought the success
that seems so near at hand The South.
western Companys mill is destined for a
long and successful run, as the company
has 1000 cords of wood on hand, several
hundred tons Of choice grade ore on the
dump, and large body of excellent
quality in sight in the Techetticup mine.
Mr.. Mills is still manager, and the enter
prise has steadily improved in his hands
and no doubt is paying well at present,
as the mill is doing better work than
ever heretofore.
The Fife mill, for the past two years
under the control of the Minneapolis in
corporation, called the Lincoln Silver
Mining Company, of which Senator Win
dom had the honor of being President,
made her last run in the forced possession
of thesquaw element, headed by man
whose experience at raising half-breeds
was greater than his ability as mill
man, and the consequence was soft jobs,
rich tailings and good healthy bill
against the company. Five and six dol
lars day was paid to the hands, and
there were other extravagances to CORE.
spond One hundred and twenty-six
tons of nice free ore was worked and 100
cords of wood consumed in fifty days,
and then he set the country on fire with
the report that this was "the boss run, ;"
and his figures, as per Bill-King, speak
for themselves, it certainly looks like it.
The RECORD was misinformed when some
four months since it stated Jas. Cronan
was running the mill for the purpose OF
expunging the debts. He no doubt would
be willing to yield any credit that might
accrue from a run that couldn't support
an Indian reservation without coming out
in debt
Mr.. Barker, formerly of Bullionville,
is running the mill now, with every indi-
cation of success. He intends to work
ores both base and free, and expects 20
put up concentrators in month or so.

A scientific writer says that the oldest
of all defensive methods employed by
animals is that of swapping off the tail.
The blind worm, or slow worm, is lit
tie snake-like lizard common in the Old
World. When alarmed it contracts its
muscles in such manner and degree as
to break its tail off considerable way
from the end. But how can this aid it,
The detached tail then dances about
very lively, holding the attention of the
offender, while the lizard himself sinks
away. And for considerable time the
tail retains its capability of twisting and
jumping every time it is struck. The
lizard will then grow another tail, so as
to be prepared for another adventure.
There are other lizards which have SIM
liar power, though in less degree.

The Hon. Trenor w. Park, of North
Bennington, Vermont, has bought man
sion and extensive grounds in that town
which he proposes to convert into home
for destitute children and infrm women.
He will endow the institution with half

says this act will do much to soften some
of the hard things which have been said
of Mr.. Park in the past in connection
with politics, mines and railroads.

so that they spend the ght in the cool
air of the forest, Vienna having the pecu.
liarity that it does not cool down at
night. But the school boards in Vienna
are very severe, and children, especially
boys, must spend their days in town at
least until the middle of July, when the
holidays begin. This difference in the
lives of the male and female inhabitants
of Austria has visible effect. You will
find that by far the greater proportion of
girls and women are taller than their
brothers, husbands and fathers, who
work in the summer heat of an unhealthy
town, while the women spend their sum-
mer days in the delicious atmosphere of
fine forests.

Peter Helm was menanced by mob
near Fort Wayne, Ind, twenty years ago.
He had killed a popular man in drunken
wrangle; and was in imminent danger of
being lynehed. He had summoned John
L. Farrar, lawyer, but the crowd wa,
inclined to hang the prisoner without
listening to his counsel. In this emer.
gency Farrar drew his client aside as
if for consultation, and then advised him
to run for the woods which were close by
him. Helm did so, and was not caught
The lawyer got no fee, and narrowly es-
capped vicarious lynching. He never
heard of Helm again until recently,
when he received letter from Mexico
containing draft for $500, with the in
formation that the fugitive had become a
successful coffee planter.

WHAT is A Bourbon popular
Interpretation Of this phrase, as applied
to American politics, has been, lone
who neither learns nor forgets anything"
Alex. H Stephens, in applying the term
to the South, says the Bourbon sis an
idiot who seriously believes that Con-
federate money will, if the Democratic
party gets into power, become as good as
gold, and that the time is not far of
when he will be allowed to 'wallop a
Niger as in the ante. bellum days." The
New York Star tells us "This may do
for Georgia, but Bourbon in New York
is genius who believes that s. j. Tildsn
embraces all the craftsmanship of the
Democratic party, and that Republican
discussions may be depended on to elect
Democratic governor this fall" As be.
tween these two definitions, the reader
can take his choice.

What Made The other Passengers

The seventh passenger was a
lady. There was an abundance
of room in the car, but as she
entered an elderly man rose up
with..a great flourish and called out:
''Take my seat, Madame. | am
not the kind Of a man to keep
a seat in the street car and oblige
a lady to stand up" She sank
down with a halfbow in acknowl-
edgment, and he held out his
hand for her fare with the remark:
"Some men are brutal enough to
permit Il lady to stumble to the
fare-boX and back, but that isn't
me. He took her ticket and
deposited it, and then hung to the
strap and continued: "AndI know
men who think that passing n
lady's fare to the box gives them
the privilege of entering into
conversation with her about the
weather, crops, rate Of mortality,
pol tics, and so forth. That isn't
me, however" The speech had its
due effect upon all the other pas
sengers, including the victim, and
the man let out another link by
rsmarking: "Giying up my seat
