What Matter =?

A story is told of a bare-footed, hatless
boy, who, one hot day in August, 1886,
was plodding his way along the tow-path
of the Delaware & Hudson Canal. He
had forty miles of his journey yet before
him when a canal boat overlook him,
and he was offered ride by the driver
On the boat was another ragged lad, the
son of Scotch emigrant, who had just
landed and was on his way to the coal
mines in Pennsylvania. The two boys
became chums on the long, tedious jour
ney, and then parted at Honesdale, the
first to find work on the canal, the other
to drive mule in the coal mines.
Last summer the President of this
canal company fell into confidential chat
with its General Manager, and the gray
headed men recognized in each other the
boys of forty-six years ago. In the mean
time they had achieved education, power
and the sincere respect of their fellow
men.
Such instances as these-and there is
no lack of them in American life-are
often held up to our boys to show them
what may be done by energy and indus
try in this country, and to stimulate
them to exercise these traits of character.
Yet they should take care not to confuse
success with merit.
A man may put forth all his energies,
and labor faithfully, yet conquer neither
wealth, fame nor powes. Circumstances
may inexorably keep him in poverty and
obscurity. Yet his work may be as well
done and as enduring as that of his sue
cessful brother. -s>Jt ~

A Horses Private Mark.

DIR. Bender recently made an incision
into the left shoulder of fine horse be-
longing to Mr.. H. Hess, the Superin-
tendent of Street Service in the intro
duction of our water works system,
and removed a silver ten-cent piece of
1876, which was placed there about four
years ago by the man from whom
MIR. Hess bought the horse in Kentucky.
1t was intended as q private mark, and
was placed just beneath the skin, but
considerable tissue had formed over it
during its four years lodgment. It was
a well-preseryed piece when slipped un-
der the skin, and the only mark it re-
tains of the singular service to which it
was put is greasy substance which adj
heres closely to the depressions in the
coin.-JameStoV Journal. 49,.

For trunks which baggage wreck,
For here tits! My hat-box? No!

My wife will taunt me when tell her,
Your fifteenth since the glad New Year!
Why, bless me, no! How very queer!
IT'S in the rack there, plain in sight!

What fancies crowd an added head;

When loud uprose an anguished cry
A crazed mans moan of lamentation-

KETCHUM ITEMS.

Keystone, Sept II
The Ketchum smelter reduced 20
tons of ore, this week, in less than "a
hours after starting up.
Three large teams, carrying six tons
each, are employed in hauling ore from
the Ontario mine, on Warm Spring
Creek, to Haley. whence it will be
shipped out of the country.
Workmen have finished clearing the
passage way for floating ties down
Wood river and are now engaged on
Trail creek. The ties up Trail creek
will probably not be set afoat before
the freshets of next spring.
The foundation and most of the
framework for Captain J. b. Harper's
saw-rnill is ready for the machinery.
The mill will be located near the river
bank, opposite town, and will be en-
ployed in saving ties.
The tie-drivers are now at the mouth
of Crawford creek, above Boulder
About $4,000 ties are in the river al
that point, and between IS and &C
men are worrying them over the bars
and rifles. It is slow work, and very
doubtful if a tie reaches the Bellevue
boom by the first of September. 1t is
thought that no more than half the
ties cut hereabouts can be floated
down this season.

AT THE THEATER.

The Play Last Evening Close Of the
Dramatic Season In HALEY for
Those who Wish to Stay for the Ball.
The attendance at the Theater last
evening, to witness the popular play
of East Lynne, was larger than the
evening previous, and showed high
appreciation of the performance. Miss
Boyd as Lady Isabel and Madame
Vine, was as usual quite absorbed in
her characters, and the majority of the
spectators who, having read the novel
and desired greatly to see the play,
were quite pleased with the rendition.
The verdict of the majority of those
who have attended the entertain
ment is that, considering the disad-
vantages Of travelling company, the
wardrobes, scenery and general make
up were surprisingly good. that Miss
Boyd is an artistic of much merit,
and that her support is most excellent.
There is only one suggestion to make,
and it is by general request; that as
many of the male population are
afflicted with thirst and must step out
during the play or move about or talk
that the dialogues be pitched in q
higher key, or else with more power
of voice, as many parts are lost in the
noise made by the audience. Mr..
Ward may lay mating by and by on
the aisles, but talking in the audience
we may never hope to be relieved of.
This afternoon the Irish drama of
Kathleen Mavourneen was presented
at the matinee, and fine attendance
greeted the play.
This evening the engagement of the
Nellie Boyd Dramatic Company in
Haley will conclude with the cele-
brated play Of the "New Magdalen."
1t is nearly an exact representation Of
Wilkie Collins's famous romance, and
affords Miss Boyd an opportunity to
present some effective acting in per-
sonating Mercy Merrick. Each part
is replete in interest and we'll repre-
sented in the members of the troupe.
The most striking bit Of acting is in
the third act. where Mercy Merrick
and Grace Roseberry are contesting
for the birthright of the latter, which
has been conceded to Mercy Merrick
under imposture-the supposed death
of Grace Roseberry leading the former
Magdelen to strive to attain it.
This being the last evening of the
dramatic company, full attendance
will most probably greet its presenta-
ton. After the performance the ladies
desiring to participate in the bal
which will be given Immediately sue.
ceeding, will retire upon the stage
and to the dressing rooms, and the
seats will be removed from the floor,
when the ball will open and continue
till broad daylight, if desired.

far. Brown was going back at the
time, and put his hands under his
coat and commenced to draw his re-
volver. / saw the gun coming out.
AT that moment, as soon rs the glitter
ing barrel came in sight,
1t seemed to me that
Adams saw it and made break to
get hold of it. He made two attempts
to grasp the pistol and failed. The
next attempt was to grasp Mr.. Brown
by the coat, and in the scuffle Brown
attempted to push Adams away from
him. 1t seemed to be a struggle on
the part of one to get a shot and the
other to prevent 1t. AS a matter Of
course, there was but one pistol, and
it seemed to me that Brown was try
ing to get the shot and Adams trying
to prevent it. Adams seemed to be try
ing to get the pistol away from him.
Adams was large man and strong,
and caught hold Of Brown. The de-
PENDANT made all effort to throw him
off with his right arm, and did sue
coed in throwing him away, and as he
came around Adams swung around.
Brown swung to the left. Adams
made an effort to get to him, but the
gun was too close, and defendant
fired. At that moment Adams was
so close he could not stop his motion
he grasped him. Adams caught Brown
by the pistol hand with his right, and
then threw Brown down. Brown
seemed to be baby in the hands of
Adams, and the struggle then was to
see who should have the pistol, as be-
tween the two.
Cross-examined: l was sitting
down at the time saw the difficulty
When the firing commenced l was
sitting down but, fearful that they
might shoot wild, got up. was sitting
in the barroom door of the hotel. Did
not see Adams strike Brown prior to
the shooting, unless you take the
pretty violent push as blow. Adams
did not fall on his hands
and knees when he made
the push. saw Brown on his knees.
Adams was not down at any time.
If he was it was done so quick l could
not see it. In the attempt of Adams
to get hold of the pistol arm when
Brown threw him off when they came
back in position, the pistol was not
more than one foot of. Am positive
that Brown did not shoot over or un.
der his shoulder, or to the left, as il
seemed to me Brown had his right
side to me when the shot was fired
Redirect. ~ Saw Brown on hi.
knees before and after the shot, ant
he was almost on his face at one
time. 1t was at Adams's second at
tempt to get the pistol that Adam.
was on his knees.
Several other witnesses were ex.
amined, and at the conclusion of theil
testimony Judge Parsons delivered
the following opinion;
1t appearing to the Cont, from the
written dispositions, that the crime OF
murder in the second degree has beer
committed, and that there is sufficient
cause to believe b. f. Brown guilty
thereof, order that he be held to an
swer the same, and that he be admit.
ted to bail in the sum of $1,000.
The witnesses have all been placed
under $1,000 bonds to appear at the
trial before the Grand Jury, at the
next term Of court.

S. Rainey having become bondsmen
in the sum of 5000 for B. F. Brown

confinement.

end of the porch and spoke to Mr.,
Brown-of what l could not hear.
Brown at this time seemed to be ex-
cited at something that Adams had
said, and spoke very loudly. What
he said l do not know. From where

between them. There was nothing

The various ways Of drawing of voters
from the party IN power Away. tends to
strengthen the party in the opposition.
Knowing this, shrewd politicians who
are in such an opposition very often get
up dissension in the ranks of the ruling
party in order to make an opening for
tho return of their party to power. This,
in our opinion, is the source of Green.
backism in South Carolina. The Re.
publicans know full well that so long as
the Democrats remain united, there is no
chance for them to again obtain power in
South Carolina; the few years of good
stealing which they left in tia State will
not be given to them, and hence they
have in one way and another put it into
the heads of sore.heads, malcontents and
of men in sympathy with Republicanism
to start up a new party to disrupt the
Democracy. The money to run the now
party in South Carolina is said to be
furnished by the National Greenback
party, which has always been in alliance
with Republicanism. This is the tactics
by which the Republicans won Indiana
from the Democrate. The Greenbackers
from the South in Congress always vote
withsthe Republicans, and thus, show
their real symratbiss and purposes. Tho
