Gatlin ClaIm.--The work previously done on this property was running a tunnel B feet on the yein and an open cut some 12 feet in the clear. Messrs. Randall and McGraw, who are doing the assessment work, are now sInkIng a shaft about 60 feet above this cut at a point where the croppings are very dis tinct. Although down but four feet, they uncovered a vein of red oxide of copper ore, some thirty inches in width, which closely resembles the ore of the LongfeilOw mine. The formation is porphyry and there is a clearly defined hanging wall. The Gatlin is an excel lent looking claim, and one that gives good promise. It IS owned by E. B.. Higbee, of Silver City.

An Ideal Blind Man.

NJ ID. Conway writes to the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette from London: 1t is
probable that Professor Fawcett will livein
history as the ideal blind man. The ex-
preston of blindness is all over him, and
in every smallest movement, contrasting
at every moment with the tokens of his
triumph over it. His habitual loud voice
in conversation, that of one who cannot
measure the distance of those to whom
he is speaking; his unaltercd look as one
approaches, until his hand is touched or
he is spoken to, and the suddenness of
his smile then; his intent air, as of one
concentrating all other means of percep-
ton to make up for the absence of sight;
and, more than all these small con-
ventionalities, or tricks of manner which
people unconsciously copy from one
another; these have more and more
become the visible characteristics of
Professor Fawcctt as his real and intellec-
tual mastery has increased. So that he is as
unique among the blind in actual powers as
he is outwardly among the seeing. He has
few equals in tiy-tishing, is capital
skater, and knows all the flowers and
vegetables in his garden as well as his
gardener, in all their stages Of growth.
Not long ago he was walking with Sir
Joseph Hooker in Kew gardens, and
talked about the trees and ponds and
paths with such appreciation, expressing
the wish that the public might enjoy
them oftener, that Sir Joseph forgot that
he was talking to blind man, and told
him that he (Fawcett) was welcome to
enter the gardens at any time of the
night or day. His wife has been such
eyes to him that he constantly speaks of
having "seen in the papers, this and
that. He goes home from parliament,
across many streets and turnings, and if
the cabman drives q yard beyond the
door he is at once checked. He rarely
fails to name the person who speaks to
him, however long the time since their
meeting.
| remember as a very impressive oc-
casion, one on which the pupils of the
College for the Blind were gathered at his
mansion by the Duke of Devonshire,
where they and their friends were adj
dressed by Professor Fawcett. These
afflicted youths of all ages and both sexes
sat before the tall intellectual man, who
seemed to be their natural representative.
His address was simple, cheerful and
in every way fclicitous He said that he
thought blind people received an I'M
necessary amount of coincidence en- their
loss. While it was right that they
should be speedily aided, the sympathy
with them need not be sorrowful. They
missed the dismal and ugly sights of the
world, and their powerfully stimulated
imaginations saw the world chiefly in its
beauty, if they were in health and COM
fort. They constantly heard descrip-
tons of things, and these, especially if
they had once enjoyed sight, became to
the blind so real that they were apt to
take their place in memory as things
actually seen

Hen Lore.

The natur of women an hens has
somehow or 'nuther got mixed up; but
l don't see how the hen is to blame.
But there is this difference between
women an a hen; all hens is fools, but
all women amt. But you can drive a
hen about as well as woman.
A rooster knows more'n a hen, but he
don't alters show it. The rooster is a
negative cuss. He struts around with
an I-know all about IL but i amt goin'-
to-tell sort of an air. an so sometimes we
are left in doubt as to his intelligence.
But, as fair-minded critic, we are bound
to give him the credit of that doubt.
But whether or not the rooster has more
sense than hen, he ain't-all the time
getting into foolish scrapes like a hen.
A hen will run back and forth along
side of a fence forty or fifty times, trying
to get over into the next yard, and go
every time within two foot of an open
gate, but never any nearer to it at any
time, and will finally git mad an fly
over, shriekin' an cut-cuttaring, an
maxim as much fuss generally as Il
woman does when she finds the fortygaif
of Il strange woman in her husbands coat
pocket. An when she gets on the other
side of the fence she don't know what
she came for.
A dog is Solomon in all his glory
aside of a brainlcss hen. He don't pick
up bone an shake it like it was a rat,
tryin' to get the meat off. But the fool
of hen will pick at a loose cabbage leaf
an hour, an only get few mouthfuls,
instid of STAMINA on it an goin' for it in a
business-likc style. But the hen is a nat
eral fool, an can never learn anything
The quickest way to brake up settin'
hen is to let 'em set on something that
will hatch. | have tried everything,
from chiny eggs to Single nails, but
nothn of that kind will hatch as quick
as good eggs; an as the hen generally
sticks till suthin' is Matched, valuable
time is saved by using eggs.

Riding from Newburg with a young
fellow who lives at Haverstraw, l asked
him how the brick works were doing
there Said he: "Thc chief industry of
IIaverstraw is making bricks. The
brick works shut down in very cold
weather as the moisture in the clay then
frosts Consequently the brickmakers
have long terms of idleness, and it is not
a good place for a poor man to live.
Nearly all the bricks now are made by
machines and about nine men work to
machine. The old system of putting
the clay in by hand and smoothing it off
with trowcl is over. The brick ma
chimes can only run a part of day as
they have to stop and fill up with clay.
They will turn out 1S, 900 and more
bricks in day. The bricks,n said my
informant, "are about So. 80 thousand,
| think, now. "-NeD York Tribune.

who always tried to be funny, "Say,
Doc, how many times does a donkey's
pulse beat"
"Let me feel your wrist. and I'll soon

behind him, the unsalted youth would

A Wonderful Mountain Railroad.

A marvel in the way of mountain
railway has just been completed in
Switzerland. 1t starts about a quarter
of mile on the Vevay side of the castle
of Chillon, and runs to point called
Glion. 1t is 700 meters C2,27j feeD in
length, and has gradient of fifty-seven
per cent, which makes it the stccpest
railway in the world. 1t goes apparently
straight up the side of the mountain.
The descent inspires terror as the cars
seem to rush unanimously down the
mountain side, while the ascent seems to
be tedious and slow, yet this is all
apparent. as the pace in both cases is the
same. The locomotion is brought about
entirely by water power, and its con-
structor is Mr.. Riggenbach, the inventor
of the RiGhi railway system which has
always been a curiosity since it was built.
This mountain railway is almost as long
as that of Mount Pisgah in Pennsylvania,
which is 1922 feet in length, with a
gradient of thirty-three per cent

Our feelings after having been relieved
from great trouble, or raised from severe
sickness, are great thankfulness and deep
gratitude, and we are filed with an earnest
desire that all who are suffering from the
same causes which afflicted us should be in
formed of the saving grace or healing power
that raised us. But the fear of exposing our
weakness and the natural delicacy and dislike
of mentioning certain subjects often prevents
the good news from spreading and reaching
those who would be greatly benefited if they
only knew what relieved US.
Knowing and understanding these charac-
teristics of many afflicted ones, and with a
desire to relieve unnecessary suffering at the
suggestion of many ladies who have been
entirely relieved of great sufferings, and re-
stored to health and vigor, we request your
special attention to the following statement
