He Fell a Third Of a Mile.

Last Wednesday there occurred on
Slate Mountain, near Ashcroft, one of
those accidents that make men realize
how terrible are the perils that environ
the pathway of the fortune-hunter in
these great mountains. A Young man
named j. M. Fern, who has been pros
pecting and contracting around Ash
croft for some time past, had, in connec-
ton with another man, contract to run
in a tunnel on claim very near the
summit of Slate Mountain. The claim
is known as the Shamokin lode They
had nearly completed the contract, and
ZeSn was making his preparations to get
out of the country for the winter. The
trail leading from the cabin occupied by
the two contractors to the claim winds
its sinuous and perilous way along the
steep slope of Slate Mountain, frequently
engaging to avoid the lodges and ease
the grade.
But there is one place far up toward
the summit where the slope is almost
perpendicular for quite Il distance, and
under the best conditions travel at that
spot is very perilous. The trail, about
eighteen inches wide, is cut out of the
mountain side, and it would make a
tenderfoot's hair stand on end to look
down. There has been a crust of snow
several inches thick on and near the
summit of Slate Mountain for a week or
more past, and the cold nights has frozen
this snow where it has been pressed
down along the trail until it is as Slip
perry as glass. 'o..''"
Last Wednesday morning Fern and
his partner were proceeding along the
trail TO the Shamokin lode, and at the
precipitous spot referred to Fern missed
his footing. The misstep carried his
body off the trail. and in an instant the
doomed miner was whirling down the
snowy slope, wildly grasping at the air,
and attempting in vain to secure some
foothold on the frozen ground. His ter
ror-stricken partner, utterly unable to
render him any assistance, stood gazing
at the terrible sight with emotions past
description. Down, down the poor fell
low went, and when his bruised and
bloody frame reached the bottom, it was
1900 feet from where it, started, and
bore but little resemblance of its original
self. -LeadciLIe Democrat.

saA
Professional beauties were rapidly be-
coming disturbing Influences in The best
conducted London circles. To be the
rose, or to boast the presence of therose,
in a brillials company was one thing;
the display of multitude of buds. wing
in their ambitions with the'maturel and
perfect blossom, was another. The
spirit of a burning, and in nearly every
instance, most unbecoming coquetrY
was instilled into a humber of breasts.
Society was, agitated by the discussion
of rival claims till it grew sick of hear
ing about them. There was not a youth
full, or a middle-aged, or elderly beau
who did not think it incumbent upon
himself to start some lady who had been
sufficiently unfortunate to attract his
favorable opinion in the professional
beauty line. This, it was felt, was going
little too far There was no reason
why individual cavaliers might not have
their preferences, but there was every
reason why they should not ask society
to endorse their choice. If Paris had
been only one of a multitude of con-
noissers in feminine beauty, the apple
which he gave to Venus would not have
been SO bitterly grudged by the brace
of neglected goddesses. The system of
professional beautydom was, in fact,
found to be incompatible with the har-
monious working of the social machine.
Drawing-rooms were split up into differ
ent camps. The gentlemen who plead
>ed the claims to pre-eminence Of the
particular Lady they had honored with
their championship were growing as
much nuisances as, according to the re-
frain of Bon Gaultier's ballad, the man
who lost his heart short time ago.
Moreover, the absurdity of the whole
thing was patent, The professional
beauty was only one star III a galaxy,
and not necessarily the brightest. Her
own vanity might be gratIfied at the Sc
lection, but not more than was the yani-
ty of the cavalier who selected her The
boredom which this condition of things
resulted in provoked a wholesome reac-
ton. Mothers and fathers, husbands
and lovers, began seriously to reflect on
what would be the general consequences
of the system if it was indefinitely de-
veloped. The names of Il score of pro-
fessional beauties were so habitually on
peoples lips, their photographs were so
aggressively conspicuous in shop-win-
dows, that society wearied of hear
ing of them. 1t also began to be
little apprehensive as to the consequent
ces. 1t received some highly practical
admonitions in the revelations of the law
courts, and it came to the conclusion
that on the whole, both in the way of
enjoyment and of credit, it had more to
lose than to gain by perpetuating the
regime. This conviction reached its eli
max during the London season of last
year, and for this fact, if for no other,
we may well be grateful to 1SS1.-Lon-

The 0ld-Fashi0ned Banker.

The old-fashioned banker used to 90
to his office so punctually that you might
set a town clock by him. When he
dined at the club or hostel he used to
observe the manners Of his customers
and if he thought them eYtrayagant,
he showed them little mercy in 1.-the
shop or the sweating room. He
would stay in the office until the yac-
counts were balanced; and we have
known of clerks being kept up for hours
until the error of penny could be rec
titled. Old Simeon, of Cambridge, gave
man twenty pounds to detect the en-
ror of a penny. in his accounts. The
old-fashioned bankers We're the men
who kept up to the last the powder and
pig-tail, the top-boots and knee-breeches.
The half holiday was an institution
totally unknown. The country bankers
sent up to town heavy parcels by Pick
ford's van, a guard with a. blunderbuss
keeping watch over them. In those
days of expensive postage it was great
object to send letters by private hands
A Manchester bank calculated that it
saved the pay of two clerks by this
system. If any of their customers were
found to have booked places at the
coach offices it was soon arranged that
they should take letters to town. Sir
Rowland Hills innovations have no.
where been more eflicacious than in the
province of banking The banker in
old times never concerhed himself with
literature. Hewould be regarded as
going to professional perdition. He
would be looked upon as the Cambridge
candidate for honors who falls in love on

The Secret Of Wing Shooting.


Shooting on the wing is a mechanical
art like billiard playing, boxing, or fenc-
ing. There will, Of course, be degrees
or excellence, but any one with the full
use of his faculties and the ambition
necessary to success in anything can ac-
quire it. The secret lies in the hand be-
coming subservient to the eye The two
must be connected as by electricity. The
eye is never at fault; fit were there
would be little hope of Improvement, but
any one may improve the quickness of
the muscles of the arm. Look at the
expertness of professional card players
and conjurers in the art of manipulation.
The same practice applied to the gun
will make the brilliant shot. One often
hears ii said: ITO be good shot requires
a quick eye" 1t matters not how quick
the eye is, unless the muscles are educa-
ted to act in unison with it, Every one
can see quick enough. Let one bird out
OF q trap before five hundred people and
they will all see it at the same time. but
only the practiced shot can throw up the
gun ohis shoulder with accurate aim
and simultaneously pull trigger, before
the bird has flown ten feet. Take, the
adroit feneer or boxer; he sees an OPEN
ing and his practiced muscles obey the
eye and. send the thrust or blow home
quicker than the Impractical eve, can
follow. Qfwhat use then is the sight on
a gum, Very little, as is seen by the
successful way gunners kill ducks when
it is too dark to see the sight or scarcely
tosee the barrels. A sportsman should
shoot game the same as an Indian shoots
his arrow, by looking at the object with
both eyes open. 1t may be done by clos
ing one eye, but there Is nothing gained
by this. There are two ways of shooting
on the wing, One to throw up the gun
to the shoulder and pull the trigger at the
same time This is termed ''snap Shoot
'ing!f The other, equally good, and
better to begin with anil more GER
tain upon thewhole, particularly in open
shooting, is TO follow the bird, and when
covered, fire while the gun is in motion.
When you pun the trigger the other hand
has tendency TO stop That misses the
bird, but education will teach it not TO
stop, the same rs we teach both hands o
different action while playing on the
piano: ~ Sacramento Bee. T'l3.4i9 2

BROTHER BEECHER
says a Good Word for tbe Chi
nese,

New York. 27.-Beecher touched upon
two important public matters ia his SER
moi yesterday morning-the action of
Congress IN regard TO the Chinese and
the legislative tinkering Of city charters.
On The former Beecher said that one of
the special difficulties Of government was
caused by the fact that this country was
gulf into which poured stream of inn
migration; that stream carried as
much mud as the Nile into its delta, and
the mud was miasmatic. It made the
best soil, but killed all it overfowed.
But still immigration was needed, and
he favored it. The great trouble arose
over the Irish vote. The Irish, he said,
is wonderful race. Aercurial and full
of men of genius, full of the most admir-
able creatures who ever dominated the
earth, the Irish were full OF driving force,
but had no constructive power. Alone
they could never build nation, but
cross-bred they formed an admirable ele-
ment of the nations power. But they
did make mischief in the city govern
ment. Said Beecher: "Thank God Ire
land has not many more to send over, as
she is pretty nearly gone up. The next
element is the German, more numerou
but more subordinate to law. and natur-
ally peaceful citizens. After hodge
podge of other nations comes the last but
best of all, the ChinamsR. It has been
said that the Chinese could live on what
the Yankees throw away. They are types
of patient industry and persistency in liv-
ing, and can do more, and live on less
than any one else. And here our fool
Congress goes to work to shut them out.
[Applause.] OF all fantastic foolishness
is this legislation of Congress ALI the
important races in our country have q
spring up which carries them to seek the
higher forms of living. The want of the
country is class of men to do the COM
mon and vulgsr WORK. We are hungry
for them. The work is left for the
broken down and the under class, and
here we have q class Of men coming to
US ready and willing to do it. and we
shut the Golden Gate of hope and prom
Use in their faces, and God writes down
''ashes" against all the men who voted
for this peace of legislation [applGusel,

Important NOtice---WOrdS of
Warning.

We desire to give this friendly
word of warning to whom it may
concern, that all persons who have
boca, or are now dealing in a prep
aration called"ClaytOn and Russell'S
Celebrated Stomach Bitters," put
upon the market by Adams s. Co.,
of New York, render Themselves
liable to prosecution and damages,
as said article has been pronounced
by the United States Circuit Court,
Southern District, New York, in q
decision rendered by his honor,
Judge Blatchford, February, 1882, as
being an imitation of Hostetter's
Celebrated Stomach BltterS, and
who granted a decree of perpetual
injunction with damages, against
the said Adams & Co. for violation
of our Trade Mark in the premises.
The principle of this important de-
ciSiOn applies with equal force to
any article of Bitters, the labels of
which bear a general resemblance to
our Trade Mark, as we'll as the re-
filling of our old bottles with spuri-
Gus stuff, or selling in bulk any
article purporting to be our prepara-
tion, and hence this friendly word
of caution. We never fail to con-
Wet, as the court records of New
Orleans, st. Louis, New York and
other points fully affirm.
