Advice to Young Gentlemen
When counting:

When counting:
Never hire another mans rig when
you've got a livery stable of your own.
It not only betrays your heart, but looks
wild.
Never take two seated carriage to go
riding with your girl. If you do, be
careful that your prospective mother in
law doesn't get into the front seat. If
the girl sits behind with the rest of the
family you'll hit every stump on a quar-
ter section.
Never exchange your every day jeans
for broadcloth and take her for drive
to the county seat unless you mean bus
mess. It looks suspicious and leaves
you subject to charivari that night
It's wise to be i'll business or stand
ing in" with Il lager beer brewery before
marrying in a country town, for then
the strain upon Your generosity in set
ting 'em up" is less keenly felt, in 4
financial view, and yonr purse. if not
overly modest, will have something left
for seed.
Should you be unfortunate enough to
get besieged by a "too prominent
mother-in-law who chimes in between
you and your darling, never disclose
your uneasiness but drive down back
street to avoid the censure of idle
tongues.
If there are points of advice your par
ticular case failes to find in this little
chapter, call at the back door of our

THE BALTIMORE GROUP SOLD
To Salt Lake Parties for $50, 900 The
Transfer Made To Day.

The Baltimore group of mines, on
Elkhorn Hill, owned formerly by J. G.
Cobaugh and Ed. Preston, has been
sold to Salt Lake parties whose names
are withheld from publication in this is
sue by special reasons, for cash con-
sideration of $4,000. Tie transfer was
perfected in Ketehum to-day.
1t was previously stated, and current,
that the group was bonded for $4,000.
But this report, although springing
from good authority, and possibly true
at the time. is now shown
to have been at least conditional. The
cash sum paid is 5000
The Baltimore group has already won
the reputation of good mines, including
the Baltimore and Victoria lodes, and
the community has for some time been
looking forward to the time when it
might emerge from the limited opera
ton to be placed among the leading
bullion producers of the country.

There is more competition and more
business life, two to one, in Ketchum to-
day than there was six months ago.
The number of people intending to
winter in Ketchum will probably exceed
that Of last season by one hundred per
sons.

lion Consolidated Mining Company, Wis

Capt. ]. B. Harper. Mr.. Walters left on
Wednesday fol- the East, Harrisburg,
Pa, whence he will return in April.
VIM. Mcqueen, Craig Chambers and
r. G. Macintosh, prominent mining
men of the coast, registered at the Pal

Utah, and also largely interested on
Wood River in the Ornament, O K and
other mines. The party left for HALEY

From Vienna.

A. Mendenghall came down from Vi
emma yesterday with both hands badly
cut up and bruised. He was at work in
the ore house at the Vienna mine, and
met with the serious accident by cave
in the ore which had been undermined.
The ore came down with sudden crash,
and extending his hands for protection
had them badly wounded; no bones
broken. He was cared for by DR.. Lewis.
He will probably not get to work again
for month or six weeks. His partner,
also, was severely hurt, being knocked
in the head and mouth. He lost several
teeth.

Mining at Bullion.

Outside of Ketchum there is probably
no mining camp in Idaho at the present
time carrying on mining operations with
the vigor of Bullion. Two hundred men
are employed on and in the Bullion
mine, and an average of two car loads of
ore are. shipped daily. Forty men are
employed in the Mayfower; twenty in
the Jay Gould, and twenty-five in the
Idahoan. This makes n total of two
hundred and eighty five miners in fonr
mines, besides numerous lesser forces in
the vicinity.

A Good Tield.

The Elkhorn mine produced. during
the month of October, $4,000 net i'll
ores extracted and shipped to the Phiia-
delphia smelters. The entire expense
of mining, shipping, etc, amounted
to $4,000, leaving a net profit to the
owners of $4,000. The cost of opera
tions includes al Development work
connected with the mine. The gross
yield OF the mine equals the eest of
reduction in addition to $4,000.

The Circus ssBusted."

Rosefield, "the count" writes from
Portland, Oregon, to Bellevue friends
that Frush & Leo Bros, Ideal Circus,
which organized here last August, has
disbanded and Rosefeld now occupies
the position OF scenic artist in Port
land theater. The cause Of the burst up,
which occurred somewhere in Oregon,
is not stated. The Company were six
weeks in arrears with the boys wages,
and it is inferred the circus was not q
financial success.

A Six hundred pound Elk.

Jake Schwartz brought an enormous
elk down from Sawtooth Thursday,
that weighed, when dressed, six hundred
and forty pounds. Its antlers were very
large and variously estimated at from
seventy to eighty pounds. The gross
weight of the elk was about eight hun
bred pounds.
A new body of ore has lately been
struck in the bottom of the shaft OF the
Silver King mine. It is about three feet
wide, and rich.

An Anecdote Of Judge Black.

Ben. Perley Poore relates the follow
ing anecdote of Judg Black: "Black
was very absent-minded. Once, when he
was coming to Washington, Mrs. Black
said to him: 4 want you to promise
me that you will put on a clean shirt
every morning, and l have put six into
your trunk. Please do, and don't let
me see in Washington papers allusion to
your dirty linen.' The Judge promised,
left, and in a week returned. After
speaking to his wife he went into his Of
fee, where he WAS soon absorbed in
studying a case. After awhile in came
Mrs. Black. why, Judge she said,
what have you done with all the shirts
you took to Washington?' Done with
the shirts?' exclaimed the Judge, alb
stractedly. .Yes, the shirts said the
matron. or replied the Judge, why.
[ put on a clean n every morning, as
Ipromised you I would Yes Judge,
but what did you do with those you took
off? you have not brought q single one
back The truth just then flashed on
the Judges mind, and an examination
disclosed the fact that the old gentle
man had put on a clean shirt every
morning over those which he already
wore."

The Diamond Trade.

What has become of all the diamonds
mined from the earliest times is a ques-
ton to which no determlnate answer
can be given. Some have been buried
to escape the ruthless grasp of invaders,
others lie at the bottom of the ocean,
while a considerable quota has been lots
by fire and other accidents. Allowing
Tor disappearance by these causes, dia-
monds of an incalculable aggregate

Mackerel Scarce.

Fresh mackerel at present command
prices twenty-five per cent. and salt
mackerel thirty per cent. more than
those at this period last year. Mr..
Blackboard said: SAT the beginning of
the mackerel season the prospects were
exceedingly good, and it was expected
the fish would be extraordinarily abun-
dant and cheap; but all such expecta-
tons were speedily destroyed. From
all along the Massachusetts and Maine
coasts the mackerel disappeared to an
extent never known before. Vessels
came to port with light catches, if any,
and prices, of course, went up at once.
1 had to pay yesterday in Gloucester $50
a barrel for salt mackerel that l could
have got for 500 last year at this time.
Within the last three days the mackerel
have reappeared all along the coast that
they deserted early in the season, and
are both numerous and fine, but there
is no hope that they will be taken in
sufficient numbers to bring the catch up
to that Of an average year,
''No: l do know a good deal about
fish, but my ichthyologic lore is not
deep enough for me to explain why the
mackerel went away or why they came
back. The mackerel, as the Scriptures
say of the wind, .goeth whithersoever it

Fretful Christians.

Consider the lilies of the field. They
toll not, neither do they spin, and vet,
even Solomon, in all his glory, was not
arrayed like one of these. How much
more will God clothe you. Therefore,.
take nothought of the morrow, but seek
the kingdom, and these things shall DO
added. That is, go along placidly in
the performance of your duties, and do
not fret yourself about the future; and
this is consummate practical wisdom
and philosophy. But the precept ex-
tends beyond the material to the spirit
ual future. The lily does not trouble
itself for fear that it may not reach it's
pearly perfections. 1t drinks the rain
and the dew and the sunshine and takes
its rest by night. and God attends to it's
development. But what a lot of fretfuE
and yearning and self-distressing Chris
tians there are. 1 am not so perfect as
1 ought to be. I want to be an angel,
and with the angels stand, a crown
upon my forehead, and a harp within
my hand. I yearn for more gifts and
graces. Well, what good does all this
do you? The child would like the pot
of gold at the end of the rainbow. You
will not be an angel by wishing to be
one, and you will not stand in the n
gelic ranks till you are sent for. Take
no thought for the morrow. God
clothed the lilies, and shall he notmuch
more clothe you? If you will go along
performing your duties of all kinds to
the best of your ability you will have no.
time for whipping yourself with these
useless dissatisfactions and longings.
When duties are done for the day you
will feel like resting, thanking God and
going to sleep. Never mind about the
raiment. The robe Of Righteousness is
all ready, and will be girded round you
when the work is all done, and you are
washed up and ready to wear it. Fret

The Little widow Briggs.

A span of ponies attached to an emil
grant wagon, containing a woman and
three children and various household
goods, halted on Grand River avenue
yesterday to have q blacksmith set a
shoe for one of the horses. As the
woman seemed to be alone, or at least
had no man in sight, the smith asked:
"Old man sick?"
"No, sir; hurried him up the country
ayear ago."
"Then you are a widow?"
II reckon I am, and my name is
Briggs"
(Which way are you joggingp"
"Going Southwest-may be into Indi-
ana"
'Got sick of Michigan?" continued
the smith as he pared away at the hoof.
"Well, the State is good enough" she
slowly answered. "Some mighty fine
land, good schools and tolerable weather
but I had to get out of where I was. I
lost q pound a week right along for the
last three weeks.
"Ague?"
"Humph! I'd like to see the ague up
set us! No, sir! My husband wasn't
cold before I had an offer of marriage!
1t wasn't month before 1 had three of
'em. Why, it wasn't six months before
their tracks were as thick around my
house as cat-tails on the snow!"
Had your pick, ehp"
''Pick! I could have married any
body, from my hired man up to a chap
who owned a section of land and four
saw-mills. They came singly and in
droves: They came by day and by
night"
"And you-you-"
"Say, you!" she exclaimed, as she
drew herself up, ''do I look like an
idiotp"
mo, ma'am"
"vVell, when l fling my three children
at the head of a second husband and
give up the $500 in cash in my pocket
you can call me an idiot. No, sir! I
repealed EN-"
':And they got'"
"They had to. Susan hand me that
second husband repeller. It's in the
back end of the wagon"
The girl hunted around and fshed up
a hickory club four feet long, and the
woman held it out for inspection and
said:
'There's hairs of six different colors
sticking in the splinters, and these
blood-stains are the pure quill. You
can Judge whether they sat there and
made love, or tore down the front fence
in their hurry to reach the woods"
"By George!" whispered the smith,
after a long inspection. "Well, 1
guess you don't want to marry"
''K'rect, sir. If you have any old
widowers in this town, or if you know
any one between here and Indiana who
wants a headache that will last all win
ter without any letting up, just put 'em
up to begin to ask me if my heart don't
yearn for love and my soul rattle around
for some one to call me darling?'-De-

Goats in Paris.

DPeaklnS OF persons and things essen.
italy Partisan, the man and bis goats
must certainly be counted among the
number. have seen in Naples men
and women leading COWS with crumpled
horns through the narrow crooked
streets, from which they drew at inter-
walls fresh milk for the benefit of their
Neapolitan customers, but that sight
was not more interesting than is the one
/ seahere in Paris-that is to say, focks
of black goats from which is daily
drawn, tactical fluid for the benefit of old
and young. 1t is quite a sight, the
morning promenade of these nanny
goats. No bearded bucks are permit
ted to accompany this excursion of the
milky Yay, tramping quietly along the
sidewalks, brushing their black hairy
bodies against ones new trousers or the
skirts d richly dressed ladies, we'll
filled udders almost touching the ground
and OVERLOOKING with the milk of the
animal Kindness. The Basque berge4
or goatherd, is a picturesque looking
individual quite in keeping with his
gentle but strong smelling associates.
He has retained the red cap and short,
dark-blue Jacket of his native Pyrenees,
and hanging from his neck is a little
flute. a flat piece of wood not larger
than your hand, on which from time to
time he blows some wild, shrill notes,
that serve to attract the attention of his
customers, as we'll as to recall any of
his flock whose curiosity has led them
to linger too long at some open shop
door.
At the berger's heels is n of the Py-
renees Mountain dogs, in close relation
to the Highland collie, with soft express
sive eyes, and long shiny hair, and it
performs its duty-that Of keeping any
of the flock from turning the wrong
corner and straying away-with the
most conscientious and intelligent accu-
racy. There are ten OF a dozen goats in
each flock, and they are on duty only
every other day. Occasionally one Of
the mothers is accompanied bya sport
ing kid, which gives no little trouble to
the dog and delight to the juvenile Gus
toners of the goatherd. This fellow
lives outside of Paris, but every morning
he starts for the city at an early hour to
serve his customers-this one in the
bourgeoise quarter of the Faubourg St.
DEUS, that one to the aristocracy Of the
Faubourg St. German, another along
the grand b%oulevards, and so on
throughout the capital. The BONES are
always ready for him, and they are often
accompanied by the little invalid, the
milk being the best when drank when
warm from the udder. The goatherd
calls up one of his flock, the docile
nanny submits to being MIXED without
''kicking," and having pocketed his
three cents for a quarter Of a pint, he
moves on, merrily blowing his flute to
attract the attention which his position
deserves. By ten o'clock his round has
been made and his flock are on their way
back to the country. Outside the forth
fications there is a halt, and while the
honest berger eats his frugal dejeuner
the goats are nibbling at the green grass
which grows along the ramparts.SCor.
