Cases of bigamy are becoming quite numerous, and yet it seems quite possible to break up that crime by clipping the ears of both groom and bride at the marriage ceremony. That would also prevent the married men from palming themselves off as single.

COPPER MINES.
A Short Discourse On C0Is2E22 0Es
 Ser SC.

< correspondent residing in Can
 delaria writes to us to ask: "Wha
 security have we that if we go ahea5
 and open the copper mines of thi:
 region any one will buy them of us
 or that We will ever be able to make
 anything of themw What security
 we would ask. our correspondent, bas the ranchman who starts in to cul-i
 vate a piece of land that he will ever get anything out of 1t? What secur ity has the man who sends his boy to the best school he can find that ho will prove 8 blessing to him in his declining years? What security has the man who goes into stock business with two or three COWS and half 6 dozen old ewes that he will ever rear calves and lambs? All these ques tions of shall I do this" or 'shali I do that" are to sensible men, at the present stage of the game of life in this world, exceedingly silly.
 The main thing is for man to go to work and do something in earnest, and there Is no danger of his coming to want. The man who lies back and growlingly asks all his neighbors, Do ycu think I should do this or do you think should do that?" is in nine cases out of ten q man who is trying to find some plausible excuse for doing nothing at all. Yet we will answer our correspondent ac cording to the best of our ability and without putting ourself out very much for a man who, we think, is not likely to put himself out very much for any living soul on earth, even in cluding himself and himself toler able hungry. We will say that cop per appears to be in demand, just the same as silver, gold, saw logs, potatoes, cabbage and almost any thing else that a man not too lazy to work has a mind to produce.
 Thus: The Calumet and Hecla Consolidated Mining Company will pay their regular quarterly dividend of five dollars per share on the 18th of February, aggregating $50O,000. Total of dividends to that date S22, $50 coo.
 The Quincy Copper Mining Com pany have declared a quarterly diyi dend Of six dollars per share, payable on the 10th instant aggregating S240, GOO. Total amount of dividends to date, $3,470,0O0.
 The San Francisco Copper Min ing Company have declared their regular monthly dividend of i've cents per share, aggregating S2,500, payable on the 20th instant. Total of dividends, $25,000.
 Lei a man go to work earnestly at almost anything, using proper jndg ment, and he will not starye.
 Means of making money are not half So much wanted in this country as common sense and a will to work.
 A man who goes into copper min ing is expected to have grain or two of sense; he is no more expected to spend his time at work upon rock that has not enough copper in il 10 pay fer working than man is toI take his thousand CT two head Of cattle out into an alkaIi desert and expect them to not only pick Up a living, but also to grow fat.-Virgin- ia Enterprise.

answer, no. Would they have done so in
this end of the county? Yes, they would,
with the exception of a few dissenters or sew
enth day Baptists who found it to their inter-
est. in,cardiy,, to vote otherwise. For whom
did these dissenters vote? Why, for a Mr..
Kellogg, who halls from the lumber districts
of Michigan, and who by the way is disci-
pie of IIOtchkiss and a scion of the Muddy,
who comes among us as an Independent can
didate, finding as he did that it was morally
impossible for him to secure the nomination
at the hands of either party. 1t was this i'm.
maculate subaltern who first threw himself
upon the bosom of the Democratic party for
support, the leaders of which We're not slow
in communicating the direful intelligence to
"his honor" that he would have to seek 9TH
er fields for pastures green, and he did so,
boiling us he did even the action of the pri-
mary held in Delta on the 10th of October,
and announced himself as an independent
candidate. By his suave manner he managed
he managed to attract around him all the
sympathizers of his independent movement,
as well as a few old soreheads who threw in
his favor the advantage of all the sectional
feeling arising from u difference OF opinion
among the political satellites of each end of
the county, and to the eternal disgrace of the
county he was elected. 1t appears to one on
the outside that Mr.. Kellogg, before ANNOUNCE
ing himself as an independent, thought him
self to be justly popular among the masses.
III Sucn was the case tneFe TcinulItu
one thing to be done, and that was to pursue
a straightforward, manly course, and ask of
one or the other parties nomi ination, and
not prove himself recreant to the cause of
justice as he did, by appealing as he did at
the last moment to such men as "Uncle
Enos" and Ed. Mahone of Delta, whom in
the plentitude of their political prosperity,
saw fit to ignore everything that pcrtained
not only to their own but to their county's
interests, in order to elect man to Office
who has proven himself wholly unworthy
the title of Republican or Democrat. Before
bringing to close this, my first epistle to the
Romans, want "Uncle Enos," of the North
Fork. and Ed. Malone, of Delta, to step this
way for moment, and assist me to draw over
their actions in the late campaign merciful

GrOwInr Colorado.

FIom the Colorado Springs Republic.
Statistics of Colorado, SO far gathered this
year, indicate that the crop Of wheat for 1888
in the State will fully feed It's population.
The oats crop will supply. onc.half of the
States demand, leaving one-half million
bushels to be imported. The State last year
supplied one.twenticth of it's demand for but
ter. This year 1t will supply oac.tenth of
that demand, showing that the product this
year Is double that of last year. Just here Is
where the ranchmcn of Colorado can see
wherein their advantage lies. Colorado ought
to produce her own butter and cheese. Kan
sas ought not be permitted to ship pound Of
either Of these products into the States. High
frcights across the plains ought to be pro.
tective tariff to Colorado on both butter and
cheese. Shipments of cattle from the State
has been somewhat less this year than last.
Prices have ruled lower. The yield of prec-
ious metals, this year 50 far, indicate an out
put Of at least twcnty-six and half million
dollars.

The late visit of the members of
the Press to the fourshing little city
Of Huntington is fraught with many
pleasurable recollections. The citi-
zens of that plac together with the
resident brethren, placed their guests
under many obligations for the kind
ness shown. Their generous hospi-
tally is characteristic of a new, but
thriving city, full of energetic, pro-
gressive and prosperous people. Some
of the best and incest business estab
lishments in the State may be found
there. Every public interest is
championed by everyone and is thus
made a success. It's hotels are
models of neatness and comfort, and
their guests are made to feel at home.
It's streets are broad and will be
handsome when sufficient ace has
been attained to allow their proper
improvement. The largest enterprise
in the city is perhaps the Ensign Car
works that employ about four hun
dred men.

A DIZZY BUSINESS.
Painting the Dome offhe Cap.
itOI.

w AsHINGToN, December, 30.-As
you stand at the foot of the terrace
below and look up at the immense
dome of the Capital the workmen
there seem midgets, clinging by toes
and finger tips to the surface. To
the nervous spectator the sight is
more exciting than interesting. The
narrow landings surrounding the
lower and upper enls Of the dome
appear as threads of white marble
on which hardly fly could obtain a
secure foothold, much less q man.
You shudder as you see humn form
uprear itself from the interior of the
cupola and with apparent careless
ness climb backw ard over the narrow
ledge to the ladd ar beneath. The
ladder seems fearful small and I'M
able to support the weight or give
foothold to the several men who are
upon it. They lean forward at times
until only their feet and one hand re
on the ladder as they run their
brushes over that part of the dome
within reach. They seem suspended
in mid air, and you tremble lest the
next blast of the autumn winds,
which, you known, blows fearfully
hard up at that dizzy elevation, should
loosen their frai, hold and dash them,
shapeless masses against the cold,
cruel stones of the pavement, 200 feet
below. Suddenly, while you gaze,
one of them rapidly decends the lad
der to the lower landing, which is IN
reality about eighteen inches wide,
but seems to you mere line, and
lightly, recklessly even. jumps down
upon the projecting edge Of the col.
umn Immediately below. You notice
however, that lie climbs back with
much more care. And you watch
with sort of fascinating interest till
the eye grows dim with it's constant
gaze, and you seek indside for further
information.
Dangerous as this work seems to
be, very dangerous as it is in fact,
more gruesome job is that Of painting
the pedestal on which the Goddess Of
IAoClGA StduNS. Hc Statute Is OIL
bronze, the pedestal of iron, and the
latter must be frequently painted so
as to correspond in hue with the god
dess. From the very top of the dome
the cppola uprears its graceful pro
portions without any interior means
of access to the statues pedestal.
Ascent must be made vertical ly from
the outside. When the ped estal is
to be painted riggers from the navy
yard are detailed to erect temporary
structure by which the workman AS
cends to the top of the cupola To
climb over the outside ledge of the
latter, either in coming down or go,
ing up, is said to be the most danger
Gus undertaking, so hazardous is
the entire job Of painting the pedestal
that only one man on the force will
do it. He is native of Capitol Hill
and said to be utterly Indifferent to
danger, apparently unconscious that
he runs any risk whatever.
