Dangerous Companions.

When young man has made up
his mind to walk on the edge of a
precipice for the sake of seeking
prospects, he always finds plenty of
company. There are abundance of
people, with strong heads, who,
having walked these paths until
they are quite certain of their foot
hold, are ready to go out with the
new beginners. If they accidentally
lose their heads and fall over, whose
fault is that ? Not theirs, of course.
They never fall. They look where
they step, and their heads do not
turn. 1t is not drunkards and
thieves who are dangerous compan-
ions to green boys just in from he
country. Oh, dear, no 1t is your
respectable young men that have
learned to sip discreetly in all sorts
of forbidden fountains, and nibble
here and there carefully of the for
hidden fruit. They are held as a
pattern. They drink but are never
drunk. They have exactly the knack
of seeing and knowing all that is to
be known in the ways of wickedness,
and yet keeping every step with the
righteous. Seine of them are church
members and Sunday School teach
ers; some are regular, shrewd bust
ness men. They are never going to
hurt themselves, they tell yeu, but
they believe in a certain freedom.
They never could see the sense of
temperance pledges. For their part
they don't need them, and if there
is anything they abominate it is
your radical, straight-laced people,
who keep always in the dusty turn
pike for fear of the precipice.

Ii should be- the aim OF the stu
dents to be punctual in attendance
at school, to be thorough in study.
and good in the recitation. The boy
or girl who would b. successful in
after life must lay the foundation in
youth. They should fully under
stand the Importance of improving
their schooldays for this purpose.
The student that seeks every op I
portunity to idle away his time in
making sport for himself and fellow
students, will live to regret that he
thus wasted his time. The happy,
sportive, joyous laughing boy or
girl shed happines wherever they 60,
if they are careful to control their
gayety, and allow 1t to flow only in
the proper place; but they should
never permit the love of mirth to in
fringe on the rules of the school
room or the laws of etiquette. On
the contrary, true courtesy hould
teach them TO use every endeavor to
aid the teacher in his work, as in so
doing they themselves will reap the
benefit.
The boy or girl at school ioretell
the future man or woman. Those
who are prompt, punctual and order
ly will be so in after life. Those
who are truthful, reliable and hon
est in childhood; will be trusted in
position and place in after years;
and those who store the mind in
youth with valuable knowledge will
possess that which can never be lost,
but on the contrary will always be
means by which they may procure
livelihood; and, if united with ener-
gy and perseverance, will be sure to
give them reputation, eminence of
position and wealth.
A boy should never take pride in
disobedience to the rules of the
school.
To be truant, to be indolent, to
be working mischief, evinces no tai
ent; any rowdy could do that, most
worthless men did that when they
attended school. 1t requires effort
to be good scholar; it evinces
brain power to be good student.
The youth should earnestly resolve
to achieve an honorable and noble
position in life. With the wide OPP
portunities which open to the am
bilious and the enterprising in this
age of progression, there is no limit
to the greatness which the thorough
ly earnest student may attain. The
plodder who is content with the dali
ly round in the same narrow rut
will get the reward of his labor,
though he never betters his condi-
tion. But the earnest, original as
piring, energetic, intelligent worker,
can always be sure of new fields to
enter, nobler victories to gain, and
grander work to accomplish.

Remarkable.

A good story is told of one of Mar
tins Ferry's young ladies, who made
a terrible mistake one day last week.
If she has yet recovered her compo.
sure, we have not heard of it. 1t
happened in this wise: Being sent
to the store in a hurry for some
flour, she took what she supposed to
be a clean pillow slip from the draw
er. When she bounded into the
store smiling like a basket filled
with chips, she handed the thing to
be filled to the stOrekeeper, who did
not notice what they were till big
scoopful of flour had gone through
them. When he raised them up and
displayed two outlets at the bottom,
edged with lace, the young lady
quickly slit out" without saying a
word, and the storekeeper, covered
with -four, laid the garment in the
money. drawer to await her return,
which has not eventuated up to the
present time. Bellaire Independent.

THE CASSIAR MINES.

\ San Francisco dispatch states
that the population of the mining re
gion about Cassiar has been smaller
this year than usual, but the output
per man much better during the past
season. There have been about $50
men employed in the mines, the
amount taken out ranging from $3.50
600 to $4,000. There are left in
the mines in Cassiar about IS white
and so Cinnamon, who would work at
intervals during the winter. The out
look for next year, the dispatch adds,
is fully equal to that of the present
year, and may turn out somewhat bet
ter.
The output, placing it at the high
est figure stated, only gives about
$500 per man. If that is the best
that the Cassiar mines can do, they
have been greatly overrated, and are
much inferior to those of this section,
where two men working in ore sell
dom take out less than 5000 worth
per day. The Cassiar mines are pla-
Ger claims, to be sure; but the yield is
very small, even for placers, and does
not justify rush, BY any means
unless il be for those already there, to
get out.

on the contrary, that in matters that

tiers with which the Board are and
must be familiar, where prociacts
have been struck off and polling
places allowed, the Board have a
right to act upon their knowledge.
1t seems to me an absurdity to
contend that the Board Of Canvass

House of REPRESENTATIVES.

WASHINGTON, April 5.--The house went
into committee on the army appropriation
bill. The chair sustained the point of order
that the whole clause providing for the trans
fer of claims pending in the quartermaster g
department to the court of claims must be
eliminated.
Mr.. Butterworth appealed from the decision
and was sustained, 90 to 80.
Hiscock On. Y offered an amendment pro.
viding no money appropriated in the bill
shall be used in the investigation of claims by
the quartermaster generals department,
Thomson (Ky.) moved the amendment by
transferring the claims to court of claimsIw hen
claiment may 50 desire.
Blackburn lky.) in opposing the amendment
says grave accusations have been made against
officials in quartermaster generals and COM
commissary generals departments. There
were practices existing in those departments
in the matter of adjusting claims which 10
honest man could defend and no legislation
could permit to continue.
He had evidence in his desk to that effect,
which he would not read, because if those
particulars had prevailed and the officials
were guilty Gas there was ground to suspect
they were) the parties paying black mail
money were guilty as receivers. That evil
dences of improper practices were correct he
had taken occasion TO satisfy himself by sub
hitting them to various members of the
house, to whom the claimants were known.
Some of the criminal parties were to-day en-
ployed in the two departments of the govern
ment; some had passed out of employment in
the last few years, but had left behind them
evidences of their official misconduct in their
own handwriting. An investigate of this
matter would come at the proper time and
