"Such is life. We battle on bravely

dirt cheap, where the wicked cease from

Sunday evenings. One OF the members
complained that although the churches
attract plenty of goody-goody, young
men. they do not secure the best anu
sharpest and those who do the most
thinking. Boston is not the only place
in which this complaint is heard. But
who is to blameo Religious appeals sue

are suited, and forsome reason ministers
seldom prepare discourses that can De
reIished by the more valuable class OF
young men. Theological systems ana
deductions over which ministers them
selves disagree without ceaslng are the

the theories that men have based upon
them. Indeed, the man who regards
Jesus as a moral teacher, and is satisfied
| simply with following him as such, is
not considered orthodox. The young
man learns from his own hearts noblest

best of his fellow men, in the church as
we'll as out Of it, and from the history of

letter on "The Manliness of Jesus was

tent themselves with presenting Jesus
| in his character of moral teacher and
leader, leaving mysteries to translate
themselves at the proper time, have no
trouble in drawing young men into their
churches and keeping them there.

Two Smelters in Full Blast.

A. NJ. Valley, who arrived from Bar
ker yesterday, informs our reporter that
the new smelter is in operation again
and running successfully. The furnace
was built during the cold weather and
consequently was not as durable as it
would have been otherwise. After the
first "burn-out' was repaired it worked
all right again. and was running like
clock work when Valley left camp.
They started up Monday afternoon, and
by Tuesday afternoon, when our inform
ant left the camp, had turned out q bars
of so pounds weight each. According
to an assay made the bullion is worth
1888 to the ton. This run Is made on
ore from the Silver Belle mine, made
famous by recent events. 1t begins to
look as if the little smelter will be a
thing Of beauty and a joy forever" for
Barker. The RIVER PRESS is gratified
to report its success.
The big blast furnace of the Clendenin
Mining q Smelling company was started
up last Saturday, and is turning out sew
eral tons of fine bullion every day. This
run will be the biggest ever made by the
company, something in the neighbor-
hood Of 100 tons Of bullion.
This begins to look like business. The
boom is evidently near at hand.

Killed in Railroad Work.

4 blast was put off in Rocky Canyon
Sunday, by which one man lost his life
and another had the bones Of his foot
broken. Itappears the two. men were
not in the employ OF the grading con-
tractors, but had taken up their abode
in a dug-out, their presence being un-
known to the Workmen. The man killed
had his neck broken; the aother was
brought to this place and sent to the hos
pital.
On Monday, Erick Josephson was
fatally injured while at work in Jones
cut, some distance east Of Muir. The
cut is very heavy, being sixty feet deep
in places. A blast was put off on top,
and large mass of frozen earth and
rocks .tumbled to the bottom. Joseph
son was gathering up the loose dirt and
undermined a large piece Of frozen
ground, which suddenly rolled over and
caught him. Both legs were broken
midway between the knee and thigh,
the right leg almost severed from the
body and his abdomen crushed so his
bowels protruded. He lived two hours.

A Charming Custom.


There is a custom prevailing among
the inhabitants of the Sandreman Is
lands. which may throw light upon
the civilized use of wedding cake. When
a native girl whose exceptional beauty
has brought her many suitors is knocked
down and carried off by her accepted adj
mirer, the welded pair, within As hours
of the wedding, send a cup of poison
distilled from the hulahula tree to each
and every one of the brides former low
ers. fany recipient feels that he can
not become reconciled to the marriage,
he drinks the poison and dies; but if he
decided that he will survive the loss OF
his intended wife, he throws away the
poison, and feels bound in honor never
to show the slightest sign of disappoint-
ment. By this admirable system the
husband is spared the pangs OF jealousy
and is able to live on friendly terms With
the surviving admirers of his wife.

An Apocryphal Story from Mobile.

It was in the good old times of Mobile,
when the Whig and Democratic papers
were laundering at one another, and the
public was anxiously looking for gore.
The able editors, in the meantime, used
to meet surreptitiously every night and
have quiet game of cards. One day
the Democratic editor got sick and could
not go for" his hated cotemporary. He
therefore dropped him a note, advising
him of the fact, and asking him to write
the article himself This the Whig edi-
tor at once did, and pitched into his own
paper and himself in fine style to the
extent of column or more Thus was
the great controversy kept up, and the
public bambOoZled.
