A NEW ERA.

It is said there is a place in Lon
don where short women can be
stretched out until they come up to
the standard fixed by fashion. The
shape o. the nose can be easily
changed to suit the style ny the ap-
plication of congresses. 4 German
scientist has recently discovered that
hair can oe made to grow by the use
Of proper hair food; and that the COL
or ofthe eyes and hair can be changed
In the same way. A New York dent
ist stops the decay of teeth and re-
stores them to their natural bright
ness by putting the patient on a
course Of diet that will produce
healthy blood, and a New Orleans
eye and ear doctor restores detective
sight and hearing by the same
means. This leads DR.. Felix Oswald
to say there is a new era dawning on
the medical world, in which people
may find health without passing
through cyclones of pain and being
drenched with deadly poisons. This
Is all encouraging but ven this adj
vance in the science of medicine does
not meet..the wants of an impatient
world. Standard length in figure, a
shapely nose, a fine suit OF hair, an
eye of any color desired, good teeth
and perfect sight and hearing are all
good things in their way, but what
is most wanted is a government that
will turn out the rascals.

Mexico has gold and silver mines
which have been worked uninter-
ruptedly since the Spanish conquest.
Their earlier workings were by pro-
cesses extremely simple in. their,char-
acter. Even at the present time
Mexican miners carry the ore
up ladders of the rudest
construction upon their backs.
However, notwithstanding the prim-
tive appliances used for the extrac-
ton of the ores the output of the
precious metals from their mines has
been enormous. During the time that
Mexico was a spanish colony-that is
from 1887 to 1S2l-the mines produc-
ed silver to the value of 81. OS6 ,26S, 7O2
and gold to the value of $68, 76S, All.
Since the Mexican Independence
was established in 1921, down to the
year 1880, the mines produced silver
to the value Of $500, 63S, 300 and gold
to the value of $4s,4l3, 7S3. This
yields q grand total for the production
of gold and silver in Mexico, between
1887 aud 1880, of So, los, 11O, 2l9. An
other computation, based or the re.
port Of the Mexican mint, gives a
somewhat higher total than this.

Th3 KINGS Shirt.

A hundred years ago the court of
France Was ruled by an etiquette SO
pompOus and acrimonious as to make
the Kings Ii e a burden to himself
and a jest to a philosopher. He was
never alone, except at rare intervals.
The eyes of forty or fifty persons saw
him dress and undress, and the oper-
alton of putting on his shirt was
something fearful.
The grand master of the wardrobe
drew off.the Kings nightshirt by the
right arm and the first valet of the
wardrobe by the left arm, and both
OF them united in banding the night
shirt to an officer of the wardrobe.
Another valet Of the wardrobe
then brought a clean shirt, but he
had no right to hand it to the per-
sons who were to put it On the King
The honor Of handing the clean
shirt to those persons was reserved
to the sons ard daughters OF France.
o., IN their absence, to the princes of
the blood or those legitimatized, or
in default of these to the grand cham
berlain o. to the first gentleman of
the bed chamber.
TIE shirt having been regularly
ana formally delivered, the first valet
of the wardrobe and the first valet
de ohambre held up the garment bv
the right and left sleeves respective
ly, while two other Wallets extended
a dressing gown in fro. t OF the King
to serve as a screen. Behind the
His Majesty at last got the
shirt on his hack.
Every day, Immediately after be-
ing dressed, the King said his pray
ers. And it is to be hoped that he
never failed to offer UP a devour
thanksgiving for having passed
through the awful process of
on his shirt.

EASY MONEY.

According to q New York fiinan-
cial journal the general condition of
the commerce of the country looks
well for easy money. The export
has been large since the commence
ment of the year. For the twenty
seven weeks of this year the imports
of merchandise amounts to $2l, 49,
OS3 less than for the corresponding
time of 1881, and to SIS, 245. 1876 more
than for the same period of 1881. The
exports for the twenty-seven weeks
Of this year have been SIS, O94, s46
greater than in the same time of
1882, and $17,176.049 less than
for the period of 1881.
Hence the balance against
the port on the merchandise move
ment of this year ($62, l2l,65l) is $50,
S3l ,929 smaller than at this date in
1882, and is s35, 42l, 7s4 greater than
at date 1881. Including the specie
the balance against the
port for the twenty-seven weeks of
year ($61, 72l, O1O) is only Sc, 257.-
ITO less than in 1882, and is $11, 52l.-
D63 greater than in 1881, and in 1882
the balance against the port at this
date included the imports of S23, 1885, |
$50 In specie over the exports of the
)ame.

The Arapahoes and Cheyenne In
dams lease a portion of their reserva-
ton in the Indian Territory for graz
ing purposes, for which they receive
nearly $63O,Ooo a year. They exact
payment in cash or cattle semi-an-
nualiy. Those Indians have an eve
to the main chance, and are bound
to succeed in life. In a few a
they will have cattle of their own to
occupy their spare range, and may
in time become veritable cattle
kings. If Montana Indians would
adopt the leasing plan, and not wal
for the government to set them up in
business with 100 acres of land and a
few head of cattle each, they would
reslize much more upon their graz
ing resources.

The MINER editor has started in to
beat the Commissioners, and if he
succeeds in this it will be gratifying
to his self pride. He uses argument
rs far as it is available, and then re-
sorts to Imagination to complete an
effect. He thinks there may be un-
wary voters enough in the county to
be Influenced by his array of words
wOrds-words, and then he will have
gained a glorious vi tory.-Inter
Mountain, 23sd inst.
W. have studiously avoided MAX
ing this controversy y personal one

pose this loan from a deep-seated
conviction that it would seriously
affect the best interests of the people
of the county. Our columns bear wit
ness we have confined ourselves
strictly within the line of legitimate
argument in presenting this belief.
But it appears the Inter Mountain
man, being worsted in the discus
sion, would seek to parry the force of
the MINERS argument by charging
that its editor is influenced in his
opposition to the loan by unworthy
motives. A gentleman would scorn

Ibove excerpt. The editor of the

Let us see about this. The County
Commissioners set out to bald a

to exceed SIS 600 at the most The
$4,000 are sunk, and they ask: tor
$lOO,0OO more-just three times the
sum of the estimated minimum cost.
What does the Inter Mountain call
this, Characterization" or "reprehen.
sible looseness?" BY the way, why
does our contemporary 90 persistently
use the words fraud" and "rob-
berry" in discussing this court house
matter? The MINER can see no rea-
son why they should be used, and
has carefully abstained from employ
ing them. What does the Ltr

A Terrible Accident.

RA1r1MoRs, July 24.-The Sun, in
an extra issued after ten O'Clock,
SAYS: A boat had made three trips 10
Tiyoli. A morning pOat took down
100. the 2 o'clock boat 200; and the 3
o'clock boat about IS. This latter
boat reached the pier at S:2O M pro-
posed to take all hands back TO tne
city at once, as requested by fatner
Starr, The excursionists knowing
this was the only boat dashed along
the pier until they were stopped py
the gate near the steamer. Some
youths tried to climb over the gate,
and a man and a boy seated them
selves on the rail with their legs
hanging over. A too sudden move
ment caused the rail to break and the
two were thrown into the water. A
c0mmotion followed; there was a sud
den crash and chOrused
shrek. Splinters flew in every. d.
rectiop. and aoout two hundred
people were struggling among q
timbers in eight feet OF water. me
noise and cries were so loud that
watermen heard them two miles
away. Those who witnessed the
scene a it was sickening. The
moon had gone down and the Only
light there was was shed by tWo
feeble coal oil lamps. Some Of the
rescuers took barge lanterns and set
them on the wharf. Two of them
exploded and added a fresh terror 10
the scene. Those or the deck of the
large threw life p~reservers, stools
and benches INTO the water. These
struck a great many and knocked
them insensible. Others let down
planks, etc. An indescrlbatle hope
lessness and terror reigned.
Shrieks, curses, groans, cries tor
God to save us, and heartrendlng
prayers for help W re heard. Dark
ness impeded the help rendered by
those who jumped into the water.
Those whose swimming powers were
the means Of saving the lives OF 9TH
ers are as follows, together with the
number each saved: Charles NJ. Con-
ner, six; E. A.. Fitzpatrick, four;
Patrick Beatty, six: John Con-
nell, four; Jacob Barnet, ten;
James Burns, ten; VIM. Carey, two;
Chris Doyle and Capt. Roberts OF
the tug Amanda Powell, sixty. Some
women were pulled up on the wharf
and some dragged the shallow water.
The movements of the barge caused
a wash that carried those battling
with the water under the wharf and
among the piles, men mostly able to
struggle out. Those males drowned
were trying to help the women and

for the bodies then COM
meaced. Twenty-eight We're found
up to 10 o'clock, when Father Starr
took upon himself the responsibility
of ordering the boat up to Baltimore,
and it came up and went back at day
break.

It is now debatable questions
whether the Count de Chambord has
been seriously i'll, and whether the
report sent out about his near APP

ever this may be, the Count has ex-
traordinary vitality or some of the
French physicians are extraordinary

An Interview With Won Moltke'

The Gazetta di 7orin0 published
some little time ago an interview De-
tween Won Moltke and one Dr. de-
nrsz in which the lattar describes
the great German General as follows:
"He has nothing of the pale ana
monkish face that l fancied ne had;
On the contrary, he is a vigorous ola
man, carrying admirably his elgh!y-
three wears. He is slightly stopped.
His forehead is broad and Is sur
mounted by a great blonde wig, Tor
he has Lot a single hair on his head.
His ewes are of a deep, blush gray,
his nose is very aquiline, with dis
tended nostriis, and his mouth is
small and closely shut, giving evil
deace of discretion leaning toward
ta%citurnity. In his presence you
feel instinctively that you have BE-
fore you a man OF great power: ne
speaks French tolerably well, al
though in a m~onotonous tone.
II am convinced that Moltke is
travelling as a tourist, not for the
purpose of regaining his health.
which is excellent, but to seek repose
after great intellectual iabors. He
admired everything with an honest
enthusiasm, especially the palm trees
and the flowers, caressed II little
children whom he met on his way,
and was unceasing in his praises OF
our beautiful country.

thing His nephew remarked that
it seemed to him that there is in
France a certain amount of ill-tenl-

listing between Germany and Italy.

lance is aimed against them.'

CIV, what a glorious part still remains
for YOU in the work of making peace
in the world. You have already
done enough for military glory; why
can't you try to establish a general
peace?'
"'Well, doctor, all that you say is
very fne,' answered the Marshal,
sadly shaking his head; but we may
be attacked, and may have to defend
ourselves. Let the others begin, and
we will be only too happy TO. follow
their example,"

This statement is made in the face
of the fact that the Commissioners
themselves give the entire expense
of renting county buildings and fur
nishing extra guards at S., 100, while
the interest on the proposed loan
would be $1,000. Does the Inter

or mendacity?

TILDEN.

And now comes Governor Crosby
with a cock and bull story about the
health of Mr.. Tilden. A Chicago
special of the 18th inst. reports the
Governor as saying: -Four days ago
I met an intimate friend of Mr.. Til
den who had just come from a visit
to Greystone. He said that as he
drove up to the house Mr.. Tilden
was sitting on the piazza in a large
easy chair. 1t was with the greatest
difficulty that he arose to meet his
visitor, in fact making several efforts
before he could rise. The old gen.
tleman was very pale, and as he ex-
tended his hand it shook like an as
pen leaf: He said that people could
talk As much as they pleased about
Mr.. Tilden's robust health, but he
would not be surprised to hear of his
sudden death at any time"
We remember hearing a similar
story about Governor Tilden four
years ago. He was then reported as
being very pale, hardly able to rise
from his chair, and shaking with
palsy. According to Gov ernor Cros-
by's story the old gentleman is hold
ing his own with remarkable tenac-
ity. He seems to have tho same old
shake, the same pale look and the
same foot in the grave he had in 1880
when he was talked of as a possible
Presidential candidate. Now if the
Republicans al manage to give him
the whooping-cough or the measles
the people will believe he has passed
into his second childhood and hence
unable to discharge the duties of the
high office. That palsy" yarn is
about played about.

Tilden's health is now a matter of
such deep concern to a few New
Workers that they are issuing daily
bulletins concerning it. OF course
there is an object in this. Personally
Mr.. Tilden cannot interest the peo-
pie to any. great extent, but as a
probable candidate for the Presidency
he may be brought to fill the public
eye. They are not his friends who
are directing the publication of these
health bulletins. On the contrary
they are men who are bent on writing
him to the verge of the grave and
keeping him there until the Demol
cratic nominating convention shall
have adjourned. 1t is a neat little
scheme to keep him out of the Presi-
Dental race, but ifthe American peo-
pie want him in it it will fail. The
dodge is a new one and worthy the
genius of the inventive Yankee.

San Francisco Chronicle: Cramp,
the ship builder, has had his revenge
for not securing the contract for
building the new steel cruisers. He
declares that Chandler was fully
informed of the cost of building the
cruissrs and that when he gave all
the contracts to Roach he did it with
the full knowledge that the vessels
could not be constructed honestly
for the sum named in the bid. It is
q rather late day for these charges
and we fancy that they have been
brought out at this time for political
effect. They will probably be well
coined by the Secretary's enemies in
New Hampshire.

The President is going to visit the
National Park. That is all right.
No one will find fault with him for
wishing to get a breath of pure
mountain air and for desiring to see
the most magnificent scenery and
grandest natural curiosities in the
world. And even if he travel at the
expense of the Government we see
no reason why the good people of the
country should grumble nor do we
believe they would. Hence General
Sheridan's rather egotistical remarks
about the proposed trip may as we'll
have been kept concealed within the
covers of the reporters note book.

WIEN IS A MAN DRUNK?

There has never been a satisfac-
tory answer given to this question.
In speaking of it an exchange says
the attempt has been made again and
again in u courts to prove that he
who has imbibed ten or twenty
glasses of beer must necessarily be in
toxicated. 1t always happens, how
ever, that the opposing counsel can
produce a witness who is willing to
swear that he will swallow four times
that quantity, provided it is paid for,
and co ne out of the contest As sober
as the Judge on the bench. In a re-
cent suit something like a solu-
ton of this intoxication problem was
found. 1t was held that "a person
was drunk when he does not know
what he is thinking about" This
theory is hardly satisfactory. There
are thousands of persons who never
drink at all, but who would be puz-
zled to describe the operations of their
very curious minds. 1t is said that
some men become so absorbed under
certain circumstances that they can
not tell till afterwards what they
were thinking about or whether they
were thinking at all. What shall be
said in their case? In California a
man is considered drunk when he
can't hold on the grass when he is
down. In the east he is said to be
drunk when he hugs a lamr-post and
waits for his front door to come
In Montana he is considered
sober until he fails to respond to an
to take something.
