The New York Daily Stock Report says
there ia money In our mining market to-day,
and a few shrewd, sharp fellows will walk
away with 1t, while others are waiting,
wondering what to do. Nothing venture,
nothing have" and those who have done

are to-day astonishing the world by the

KNOW OF a country storekeeper who plodded
ior twenty years in a very small town,
selling everything, from a half pound Of
tenpenny nails to a gallon Of vinegar or a
pair OF boots, and accumulated 1000. He
came to New York and made $40, 900 in
Six months. This led to other specula-
tons, and Ia the space of Ave years his
wealth was estimated at SIS, 900, 900, and
still growing. He made 1t in stocks. His
profits were exceptional, but there are
many similar cases, and there is money
enough for all. We incline to mining
stocks as cheaper in price, less inflated by
water, greater In results and mors likely
to appreciate than any other kind of stock
In the market.

Debts.

In the District Court on Thursday, says
the Denver Republican, in passing upon q
demurrer to the complaint In the case OF
Marion VS.. Chase, the Court decided an
interesting legal point. The facts upon
which the suit is based are as follows /:
The plaintiff and defendant were engaged
in gambling, and running short Of funds,
to ''stake" himself he Endorsed a bank
check for a considerable amount OF money
to defendant. The latter won the game,
and subsequently Endorsed the check to an
| innocent purchaser, who had, 1t is claim
| ed, no notice of the manner by which the
indorser obtained the check. TIT suit
| was brought to recover the value OF the
| check, on the ground that it was illegally
obtained in accordance with the provi-
sions of Section 140 OF the Criminal Code.
The defendant demurred to the complaint.
The Court overruled the demurrer n de-
cided the complaint good. He referred to
the common law and statutory restrictions
upon gambling, which made the winnings
secure in the hands OF the winner only at
the option OF the loser. Leave was granted
to answer the complaint or stand by the
demurrer.

At the quartz mine Of L. Charonnat d
Son at Canada Hill, Nevada County, CAL,
about 40 Cinnamon have been employed.
"on Saturday last" says the Nevada
Transcript Of Monday, Of the Chi
namen was accidentally killed in the mine
by being cayed on. After the remains OF
the cousin had been nicely sealed up in a
casket to be sent back to China, they re-
turned to 60 to work in the mine, but the
ghost Of the dead man got back there first,
and when they commenced work he APP
peared to them In such q CHASTITY shape
that they notified Mr.. Cher onnat OF their
intention to quit. Since that time none
Of that band dared to go to work again,
and the Charonnat mine will in the future
be worked by white men," Hereafter the
Chinese will be liable to see ghosts when
ever they are left alone Of nights to work
mines.

Brought Into Composition with the
World, the Best Carries
Off the HOnOrs.

At the great Centennial Exhibition of 1876,
the leading products of all the branches Of the
Worlds industry were assembled at Phila-
delphia. To carry of a prize in the face of
that tremendous competition was task of no
ordinary difficulty. Inventions and prepare
tions for the alienation Of pain and the cure
of disease were present in the greatest possible
variety. representing the skill and the pro-
foundest study of the age, and it may be Of
vital Importance to you, personally, to know
that the highest and only medal given to rub
Der Porous Plasfers was awarded to the manu-
facturers Of BENSON'S CAPCINE POROUS
PLASTER by the following jury:
DIR. VIM. ROTH, Surgeon General, Prus-
sian Army.
J.H. THOMPSON, 4. NJ, NJ. D., Washing
ton, ID. c.
CD. WHITE. NJ. D., New Orleans.
ERNEST FLEISCH. NJ. D., Austria.
The decision was afterwards confirmed by
the medical jury at the last Paris Exposition.
knowing the value of such high and unbiased
testimony, the medical profession, both in the
United states and in Europe, quickly threw
aside the old, slow acting plasters they had
been using, and adopted Benson's in their
regular practice. That physicians and sur
geons of the broadest regulations did this, dis
tnctly proves the intrinsic merit OF the article.
It's no more than just to add that the aver
age physician Of to-day is not dominated by
the preiudices which retarded the progress
and modified the successes of his predecessors
Of not more than twenty-five years ago. He
accau,- h,,fs-ff,;,r 81 quarters, anu indorses
and adopts demonstrated healing agents
wherever he finds them.
The right Of Benson's Capcine Porous Plas-
ter to stand at the head Of all external appli
cations whatsoever, for the mitigation or cure
of disease, is no longer questioned.
Let the purchaser, however, be on his guard
against limitations. The genuine has the word

Reduction of Duty on Rice.

Of 10 per cent. duty on rice coming from

Will 20 into operation. The rice planters
Of the country, whose attention has been
called % this fact, which will probably
affect their interests to some extent, de-
sire TO know how this reduction of duty
comes about. The following is an answer
to that natural question;
Under the act Of June 9. 1872, which
now forms section 2j01 Of the Revised
Statutes. il is provided that: "There shall
be levied. collected and paid on all goods,
wares and merchandise Of the growth or
produce of the countries east of the Cape
of q ,od Hope Except wool, raw cotton
and raw silk as reeled from the cocoon,
or not further advanced than train,
thrown or arganized(, when i'm
ported from places west of the
Cane of Good Hope, duty of 10 per
centum ad valorem in addition to the duties
imposed ON any such article when imported
directly from the place or places OF their
growth or production" Under this law an
ad valOrem duty of 10 per cent. Is now
imposed on all imported rice coming from
the countries which produce rice and lie
east of the Cape of Good Hope. this tax
being i'm addition 10 the specific tax Of pa
cents per pound on clean and , cents
per pound on rough rice imported from
these countries.
The section providing for the 1Oper cent.
duty was repealed by the act of Congress
approved May 4, 1882, which provided that
tie repeal should take effect on and after
the list Of January, 1888. After the LIST Of

signing over the Flesh Pots.

\ Washington correspondent of the
New York Tribune admits that there Is
good deal of sadness and gloom settling
down over and depressing the spirits of
official Republicans about that city, rem
dered more oppressive and despairing,
perhaps, by the signs and tears of the
faithful all over the South, whose con-
stituents in the recent elections consigned
them 10 mastery inactivity" They now
pass the time in consoling themselves by
recounting the methods employed in their
defeat at the polls, and the Southern
brethren complain bitterly of the apathy
shown by their .'blOOdy shirt allies of
the North. who held the purse strings,
and even with J. Hubbell, at the teller's
desk. could not dole out enough of the
assessment funds TO save them from dis
aster. They fear that their Northern breth-
ren do not realize the 'true inwardness''
of their situation. Defeat of Republican,
ism in the nation is its humiliation in the
South. and the change Of the administra-
ton to Democracy cleaning out the
Augean stables" SO long and fOully faint
ing the whole atmosphere of that region,
leaves them in a condition sad and de-
plorable indeed. 1t remands the South to
the rule of her own people as of old, re-
leases the colored man from the heartless
clutches of INSCRIPTIONS partisans who
use him but TO ruin him. and opens the
road for a grand hegira of stalwart OH
cials from the South, second in magnitude
only 10 the emigration of scalavags and
carpet-haggers from the same section
few years ago.
