Trouble in a Silver Mine.
(Bil Nye, in Laramie Boomerang,


A few nights ago a well-organized eff
fort was made to jump the Centennial
mine, which came near being a success.
The parties who undertook to Jump the
mine were two Rocky Mountain polecats
with a bad record. Almost as soon as
they entered the tunnel from the east the
men IN the mine began to be suspicious
that somebody with bad breath was at
the lower level. The suspicion grew I'M
til it assumed about the size of bale Of
hay. 1t was resolved to drive out the
intruders. Maj. Downey went down and
threw chunk of free milling quartz at
the enemy. Then the major went back
to the rest of the party to hold consulta-
ton. They Stunned him and evaded
him as If his presence wasn't agreeable
under the circumstances. Although the
mine was very valuable one, it was al
most decided at one time to abandon it
to the jumpers. At last, however, every
body made a grand rush for the tunnel
and demolished the enemy with long
handled shovels. Maj Downey handed
the above information into the office with
long pole. He also told friend that
he would go out Of town this forenoon

Mountain polecat, before it is domesti-

THE MORMON SECT.

The Mormon agitation bids fair to re-
suit in the reformation of the misguided
polygamists of Utah. Through associa-
tion of the two words Mormon and polyg-
amist IN connection with the Utah
branch of the church they have become
synonymous in the public mind. The
New York Herald says there are several
Mormon sects besides the one whose
headquarters are Salt Lake City. After
the murder of Joseph Smith in Illinois
in 1854 dissensions accompanied the
election of Brigham Young as his sue
cessor which led to secessions from the
congregation that followed Young to
Utah IN 1847 and has grown to porten-
tous dimensions there. Sidney Rigdon,
one of Smiths earliest associates, was a
competitor for the succession at Nauvoo,
and Young speedily accommodated
him for fear of the presence of danger
GUS rival. After this discipline Rigdon
founded a Mormon sect of his own.
Others were founded by men named
Strang, Wight and Brewster, whose
members did not accompany the emf
grants to Utah, and there also is a sect
called Gladdenites, from q man named
GLADDEN. Bishop, which rebelled against
Young's authority and was excommuni-
Gated and driven out of Utah several
years later. The tendency os all these
sects has been to recognize the chief
ecclesiastical Mormon authority and
medium of revelation as vested in Smiths
family, though some of their founders
-Rigdon and Bishop in particular
have claimed to be inspired themselves
and receive messages directly from
Heaven. None of them, we believe,
practices polygamy or now regards the
revelation produced by Young in 1852,
under which the Utah Mormons practice
it, as anything but a fraud Smiths son,
who lives in Iowa and publishes a relg-
ious journal there, has always denounced
it as such.

IRON AND STEEL.

Encouraging figures recently pub
Hshed by the census bureau show that
the United States will soon surpass all
other countries as producer of iron and
steel. The United States appears sec
ond In the list of countries. Great
Britain stands first, Germany third and
France fourth. In 1880 we produced
only about half as much iron as Great
Britain, but we turned out more Besse-
mer steel and but little less of all kinds
of steel than is placed to the credit of
that country. To give the round figures
the British yield was 1850, 900 tons of
iron, LOLA, 900 of Bessemer and l. 49,
900 of oil kinds of steel, while the Amer
lean production reached 1886, 900 tons
Of iron, 1,074, 900 of Bessemer and l, PAT,
900 of all kinds of steel. The world s
production of pig iron in 1880 is given at
17,688,000 gross tons, and of steel at
4343, 900 gross tons. OF these amounts
the United States produced twenty-five
per cent. of iron and twenty-nine per
cent of steel.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.

Charity is a Divine attribute, and
when man exhibits more than the ordi-
nary modicum of that noble trait of ma
ture he is hailed as public benefactor,
But while individual efforts in the line
of charity for the unfortunate result in
great good, 1t must be admitted that the
new departure styled Associated Char
tiles, gives promise of producing last
ing benefits to the afflicted, and stopping
all waste upon undeserving mendicants.
In Boston the plan is working admir-
ably, and has accomplished much in
staying the growth of pauperism. There
are three chief departments in the plan
by which the Boston Associated Chair
ties is worked. The fundamental part
of the plan is the central Office, which
contains list of the poor of the city and
a record of the aid they receive. This
Is the servant of all local charities
through its registration of relief, and is
the key to the harmonious working of
the whole system. Then comes the
division of the city into fourteen ward
conferences, which have sprung into ex-
istence within two years, and cover the
whole city except Brighton. These con-
ferences are like the divisions of an
army, of which the directors are the
commanding body, having the central
Office as the base of their opera
tions. Each of these conferences has its
special agent, sometimes a man, some
times a woman, usually q salaried per-
son, who is IN telephone communication
with the central Office, and with the
agent is associated the body called the
conference, composed of the visitors in
each ward with which they are connect
ed. They consent to work under direc-
ton, and attempt to teach the poor how
to help themselves to an honest living.
There are over eight hundred visitors of
this sort now giving their services to the
personal education of the Boston poor,
aud the number is rapidly increasing,
but with their very best efforts the work
is always ahead of those undertaking 10
do it. What has been accomplished in
two years is this: The whole city has
been districted; the poor are nearly all
registered; most of the charitable socie-
ties are SO related to the central office
that they do not give twice to the same
person; hundreds of families-sohae of
them inveterate idlers and beggars have
been taught to live respectfully aud earn
their own living; less money is required
than ever before for the neglected classes;
street-begging has very largely dimin-
ished, and the two ends of society have
been brought into close, personal, helpful
contact

gressional Record in order to keep them
posted on the doings of their representa-
tives at the national capital. In order
to show the absurdity of such proceed
ing and to proveits practical impossible
ty, the Cleveland Leaders mathematician
furnish the following: "The popula-
ton of our country, allowing an increase
of per cent. per annum since the census
was taken, equal to five per cent. down
to the present time, is 50, 500, 900. This
would give about 100000 heads of
families. To supply each with a copy
of the Congressional Record would re-
quire an addition to the government
printing Office of about 1000 presses,
costing S21, 900, 900, and additional force
of 600 printers, stereotypers, press
men, and bookbinders. Each press
require eight plates, making $4,000
plates that would have to be cast daily, all
printing 100000 sheets daily, giving
seven sheets to each copy of the Record,
and requiring each day consumption
of l,400 tons of white paper, nearly
equal to the product of all the paper
mills in the country. To mail these
Records would require force of 1000
mailing clerks, 1000 additional clerks in
the Washington postofice, and 40 cars
daily to carry them out OF that city It
would be nice thing for Senator Miller,
for it would create daily demand for
$50, 900 worth of his wood pulp out of
which to make the paper for this moder-
ate sized circulating library"
