A STAGE COACH STORY

4 good story of the old Arkansas
 stage line from Fayetteville to Alma,
 now suFplanted by the railroad, is
 told by f correspondent of the New Orleans Times Democrat. His fel-
 low passengers on a certain night
 were mild-eyed college professor
 aud plain, blunt man in a check
 cred shirt and trousers to match
 At one point in the road the profess
 or's hat blew off and over the preci- pice, but caught on bush ten feet below. The professor was terribly distressed, and offered S25 for its re- covery. When the. driver, who let himself down by one of his reins. had returned the hat and received bis reward, the professor explained
 that bills amounting to Sl,00O were sewed under tHe lining. The stage rumbled on and everything seemed favorable for quick trip, wben sud
 denly road agent stepped out from behind a tree. He searched the pas
 sengers, but found so little to reward hssn for his trouble that he got mad and sw0re he would take their clothes and send them on naked to the next station His revolver was an un- answerable argument, and they were about to strip, when the man in the checkered shirt called out: 'Look in the lining of that fellows hat and you will ind some money" The poor professors S1,000 was soon in the pocket of the robber. who forth
 with decamped. The stage went on, but such was the rage of the driver and other passengers at his poltroon. cry that he Of the checkered shirt had to walk The next day he ap- ppared in the hotel at Alma, took the professor aside, and made him accept $2,000, saying that he knew he appeared like a dirty scamp, but the fact was he had $10,000 under false soles ip his boots, and must in nvitably have lost it if he had not de vlsed a plan to escape being stripped. He was 8 rich broker and had donned his rough costume to avoid trouble in the mountains.

Bad Mining Managelasesss.

Of all the evils that our country is afflicted with the worst is having a quartz mine fall into the hands Of Eastern capitalists, or rather East
 ern stock gamblers. After 8 thor
 ough trial of this kind of mining, and after watching the result for many years, we are confirmed in the opinion that nothing worse can be fall a mine-as far as the country Is concerned-than to haveit fall into the hands of that class of operators. A good property undeveloped is put into the Stock Board of New York, for instance. The agents to give if gilt edged send off," convey the idea that it is a perfect wonder and rich beyond compare. They say that all that 1t needs is just enough cap

 tions Eastern men put their money

 time commence to clamor for the
 promised dividends. Probably not

 the had management comes in. In stead of using the proceeds of the mine to pay their debts and make further developments untiTit Is on a substantial footing, the money taken ont IS shipped to New York and dis
 tributed Tn the shape of dividends with grand flourish of trumpets, to satisfy the demands of rapacious stockholders and bull the market, and in the meantime our own home people are left to bear the brunt. They must wait, because the proper ty is here. and they are interested in keeping up the country" Oper- ations are worked along in this way for while, the mine-which may be a good paying property-is only half worked and does not have half a chance, and then some creditor, who has packed" 1t as far as he can, is obliged to bring suit for his money, and the whole business ends in grand collapse, the mine IS con- demned, and other valuable proper
 ties in the neighborhood suffer be- cause of the failure. The whole sys- lem is wrong, and it is a curse to any mining country in the world. When a failure Is made in this man ner, tits more than all even bet. every time, that California con- pany of mining men can take the same property, put it in shape, and make 1t a good dividend paying mine They know what mining means, and and know that 1t takes time and money to put it on a good footing, except in an exceptional case, now and then, where perfect bonanza is found, winch can be made to pay at once. Mining is a business which needs both brains and experience, and when men with a very small stock of these qualifications are placed in charge, it does not take wise man nor prophet to predict that failure is to be the result Plumas National.

LOUISE TO CLARA.

DEAR CLARA: This has been very

at your letter last week. l am well ac-
quainted with Squire NJ. He is a fine
man and one Of the bloods. i have been
informed that c. A. T. took exception to
my letter. don't see why he should get
angry with me. / assure you that it will
be to his advantage to remain quiet or /
will tell him something very unpleasant.
The complimentary reception of Co. A.
was very select. There was quite con-
trast between the former and the Cadets.
w. III. B. was present and was one of the
happiest guests there. He is one of the
finest men in this city and / shall always
hold him in high regard. You have
never met him. He is one of the few
married men who knows his place. Well

some very interesting circumstances to re-
late which 1 am confident will be very
entertaining. In your letter last week
you gave me an extensive description of
the entertainment which took place Mon
day evening at the 18th street Presbyter-
ian church and then you failed to be
there. Well, just let me tell you, that
you lost real good treat. The reading,
singing and playing were extraordinary.

What Makes the DiEerencel :

A writer in discoursing upon the way
wealth is accumulated, says tnat as
general rule it is the result of economy,
industry and attention to business. Pow
erty, on the contrary, comes from idle
ness, extravaganza and inattention to
business. Of course there are numerous
exceptions to Othese general rules, but the
facts justify the writer in the following
sketch:
Here are six shOemakers working in
one shop. One of them attends to his
business you can hear the music of his
hammer late and early. He is in love,
it may be, with some girl on the next
street. He has made up his mind to be
q man, to succeed, to make somebody
else happy, to have home; and while
he is working, in his imagination, he can
see his own freside, with the light fall
ing upon the faces of wife and child.
The other five gentlemen work as lit
tie as they can, spend Sunday in dissipa-
ton, have the headache Monday, and as
result, never advance. The industri-
Gus one, the one in love, gains the con-
fdence of his employer, and in little
while cuts out work for these other fel-
lows.
The next thing you know, he has q
shop of his own, the next store, because
the man of reputation, the man of
known integrity, can buy all he wishes
In the Uuited States upon credit.
The next thing you know, he is mar
ried, and he has built him house, and
he is happy, and his dream has been
realized.
After while, the same five shoemak-
ers, having pursued the old course, stand
on the corner some Sunday when he
rides by. He has got a carriage, his
wife sits by his side, her face covered
with smiles, and they have got two chill
dren, their faces beaming with Joy, and
the blue ribbons are huttering in the
wind.
And thereupon these five shoemakers
adjourn to some neighboring saloon and
pass resolution that there is an ire
pressible conflict between capital and
labor.

Help the Children Grow Erect.

William Blaikie, the author of ''How
to Get Strong and How to Stay So"
spoke before the Brooklyn Teachers AS
sociation recently on Physical Educa-
tion." II want" said he, "to see if in
an informal talk we can't hit upon some
way in which we can bring the physical
education of school children down to a
practical basis. Our children, who are
healthy and buxom when they begin
school-work, come out pale, sickly and
with round shoulders. If you require
the children under you to sit far back on
chair and to hold their chins up, you
will cure them of being nground-shouldered
and the lungs and other vital organs
will have free and healthy play. An
other simple plan is to have the chill
dren bend over backward until they can
see the ceiling. This exercise for few
minutes each day will work wonder
full Transformation. If well-qualified
teacher could be employed to super
intend the physical development of the
children, the best results would be
Ren."

Observe the Birthdays.

Keep the birthdays religiously. They
belong exclusively to, and are treasured
among, the memories Of home. Do not
let anything prevent some token, be it
ever SO slight, to show that it is remem-
bered. Birthdays are always great
events to children. For one day they
feel that they are heroes. The special
pudding is made expressly for them
new jacket or trowsers with pockets, or
the first pair Of boots, are donned; and
big brothers and sisters sink into insig-
nifcance beside "little Charlie" who is
six to-day" and is soon "going to be a
man" Fathers who have half a dozen little
ones to care for are apt to neglect birth
days, they come so often sometimes
when they are busy and sometimes when
they are nervous" but if they only
knew how much such souvenirs are
cherished by the children years after,
they would never permit any cause to
step between them and parents priVi-
lege.

words Of Wisdom.

The only way to have friend is to be
one.
A fox sleeps, but counts hens in his
dreams.
Ifyou act with a view to praise only,
you deserve none.
We seek to control others, yet how
few Of US are masters of ourselves
Always be as witty as yon can with
your parting bow: your last speech is
the one remembered.
knowledge, when possessed by only a
few, has almost always been turned to
lnlqultous purposes.
1t is easy to pick holes in other peo-
pies work, but it is far more profitable
to do better work yourself.
We appreciate no pleasures unless we
are occasionally deprived of them. Re-
straint is the golden rule of enjoyment.
Good-natHre, like bee, collects honey
from every herb. Ill-nature, like spider,
sucks poison from the sweetest flowers.
Insult not misery, neither deride in-
trinity, nor ridicule deformity: the first
is inhuman, the second shows folly, and
the third pride.
In the moral as in the physical world,
the violent is never lasting the tree
forced to unnatural luxurlanCe of bloom
bears it and dies.
Beauties often die old maids. They
set such value on themselves that
they don't find a purchaser until the
market is closed.
There is nothing so easy as to be wise
for others; species Of prodigality, by
the way, for such wisdom is generally
wasted.
Give little to those who ask, even
though you suspect them of being I'M
posters. 1t may not do good to them,
but it will to you.
The mind is weak when it has once
given away; it is long before principle
restored can become as firm as one that
mas never been moved.
Bad habits are the thistles Of the
heart, and every indulgence of them is
c seed from which will come forth new
crop of rank weeds.
Great efforts from great motives is the
best definition of happy life. The
EASIEST labor is a burden to him who has
70 motive for performing it.
