WHAT SHOULD DE DONE.

A telegraph dispatch announces
that = meeting Of the principal mine
and smelter owners of Colorado was
held in Denver last Monday to per-
feet an organization for the purpose
Of protecting the lead market and by
concerted action to try to relieve the
present depression in prices. The
proposed organization will be bene-
fetal one to the mining industry, but
it must not stop halfway. 1t must
take lead in its native state in the
ledge, and follow it through its var
ious manipulat,ons until it becomes a
length of pipe or some other article
having commercial value. The cost
Of mining, transporting, smelling and
manufacturing must be accurately de-
termined, and, when once ascertained,
the margin Of profit must be made to
conform to the state of the market;
or, in other words, they must do as
the railway companies do: ascertain
what the traffic will bear, and charge
accordingly. If this is done there will
be a general reduction of charges all
along the line, from the mine to the
store, which will Include mining,
smelling, transporting, manufacturing
and selling, and many mines already
shut down, or that are threatened with
acompulsory suspension Of operations,
can be worked ut profit.
If some such course as that out.
lined above Is not adopted soon, even
Wood River with her exceedingly
rich mines of galena:silver, will beeiu
to feel the effects of the depression in
the price OF lead, caused by the un.
expected increase in production Of the
past year or two.

Critical Illusions.

William L. Stone, secretary of the
Saratoga Monument Association, writes
from the Jersey City Heights to the
New York Times as follows.
Referring to an article in tO-day's
Times, III which an apparently burning
building was seen in 1889 by two tray
elers on the road from Amsterdam to
Troy, may it not have been caused by
some atmospheric condition? Owing,
probably, to peculiar condition of the
atmosphere at certain times Bear
Swamp, near Saratoga Springs has long
been subject to mirages-as perfect as
those which mock the traveller on the
| African deserts, and which have often
deceived old residents. The late DIR. Il.
L. Allen, of Saratoga Springs, once,
; when driving through the swamp, OBJ
! served what appeared to be large sized
sheet of water apparently a few rods
distant from the road. Wondering that
he had never had his attention attracted
! to it before, he got down and walked to
the spot, only to see that the water was
merely an optical illusion. Again In
1843, as party of ladies and gentlemen
were driving homeward through the
swamp IN the evening (among whom
were the late Rev. Francis Wayland and
the writer), they plainly saw, in the mid
die of the swamp, half mile IN their
rear, and. of course, in direction OPP
posite to the village, large building
with rows of windows brilliantly lllum-
mated. The entire company left the We
hicle, and for long time watched the
strange and singular appearance - an
appearance seemingly bordering on the
supernatural, since they had just come
over kthe road where the spectre house
now stood, and ali who were familiar
with the country knew of no such house,
or any dwelling, indeed, In that direc-
ton. The next day 1t was found that
the passengers coming up in the cars
from Ballston at the same hour in the
evening had also witnessed this phenom-
enop, conclusively proving that even If
our party had all had their imaginations
psychoIogically affected-which is more
| improbable than the converse-Others,
m lies away, could not have been under
the same influence. The explanation
undoubtedly was that the apparition of
the Illuminated building was simply a
reflection of refraction on the clouds of
one of the hotels at the Springs. Of a
similar character was the appearance of
the ship (related, I believe, by Cotton
Mathew, sailing in the air at night,
which, according to that eminent divine,
was witnessed by many hundreds of peo-
pie on the Connecticut coast, near Guild
ford, in 1920. The ship, which was
recognized as one that had left port sew
eral days previously, after sailing in the
heavens for an hour, was observed to be
on fire, and this appearance lasted until
the last mast had fallen and she had
burned to the waters edge. This ship
was never heard of more. Other dwell
ers in Bear Swamp have related to me
experiences of a similar character,
though not so marked as the two have
mentioned.

States gets $4,000 a year. The sena-
tors and representatives and stenOgraph-
ers ii congress get S., 600 apiece, and
so do the comptroller of the currency,
the first and second comptrollers OF the
treasury and the commanders IN the
navy. A few consul generals-not over
three or four-get SIS, 600 each, as do
the interpreters at Picking and one or
two other points. The postmaster OF
New York gets S., 900 year, and that
one ends the list of persons III the en-
ploy of the government who receive
anything more than a living salary.
With two-thirds of these the amount is
not more than they are expected to
spend, and not more than they do
spend. A few of the heads of bureaus
get $4, 000 year. and few postmas-
tiers receive about the same, but OF the
whole 100, 900 officeholders not one In
ten gets more than bare living.
In the Blue Book there are columns
upon columns of names with salaries
ranging from $500 to 81, 800 year.
Take for instance the Office of supervis-
ing surgeon general of the Marine Hos
pital service, which is now Entrusted
with the task of protecting the whole
country from yellow fever and cholera.
Its efficient head gets bare 81, 600
year, small sum compared with the
earnings of physicians in practice in
large cities, while the remainder of the
employees actually average less than 500
month apiece. The average position
for which the average clerk struggles
and bores his congressman to the verge
of distraction pays to begin with about
81, O00a year, and seldom reaches more
than SO per cent. more than that, while
not Jew who spend months in search of
office are finally content to begin at $500
a year, and happy if they ever reach
800 per month.

A Russian air.

Mimi Novogorod is city of about
25, 900 inhabitants, where all is life and
activity; but what is this city far to the
east, across and Okla, upon the fiat be-
tween the Okla and Volga-a city as
large as seven or eight of Mimi?
ooh, " says the stout Cossack at your
side, "that is our fair ground, where we
collect from all parts of the world, and
do up our trading for the year."
There, from July LIST to the last of Au-
gust, period of eight weeks, all is bus
tie and life and activity.
During those eight weeks those streets
are frequented by Tartars and Chinese.
There are Persians with perfumery;
there are droves of Tartar ponies,
which have been for months Oh the way;
bankers from England; dealers in
iewelry, wines and fancy goods from all
parts of Europe. There are nearly two
miles of streets devoted to the sale of
Siberian iron in all its forms, such as
would be found in any European city.

Eminent Testimony.

n. 7. Witness. August Is, 1880.
81 find that in addition to the pure spirits
contained in their composition, they contain
the extracts of hops AMI other well known
and highly approved medicinal roots, leaves
and tinctures in quantities sufficient to render
the article what the makers claim it to be, to
wit, medicinal preparation and not bever-
age-unft and unsafe to be used except as
medicine.
"From careful analysis of their formula
which was attested under oath-I find that in
every wine-g lassfull of Hop Bitters. the active
medicinal properties aside from the distilled
spirits are equal to a full dose for an adult,
which fact in my opinion, subjects it to an in
ternal revenue tax as medicinal bitter"

But she watched him go with troubled sigh.
So into the basket that swayed and swung
Ger the yawning abyss he lightly sprung,
And the Joy of her heart seemed turned to woe
AS they lowered him into the depths below,
Her sweet young face, with its tresses brown,
Was the fairest face in the mining town.
Lol the morning came; but the marriage-bell.
High up in tower, rang mourntul knel
For the true heart buried meath earth and stone,
Far down in the heart of the mine--alone.
A sorro full peal on their wedding-day,
For the breaking heart and the heart OF clay,
And the face tn looked from her tresses brown
Was the eaddest face in the mining town.
Thus time rolled onUits we ry way
Until fifty years Wien their shade" gray
Had dRrkened the light of her sweet eyes gloWr
And turned the brown of her hair to snow.
Obi never kiss from a husbands lips,
Or the clasp of child's sweet finger tips,
Had lifted one moment the shadows brown
From the saddest heart in the mining town.
Far down in the depths of the mine one day,
In the loosened earth they were digging away,
They discovered face, so young, so FAIR,
From the smiling lip to the bright, brown halr'
Untouched by the fingers OF Times decay.
When they drew him up to the light OF day.
The wondering people gathered round
To gaze on the man thus strangely found.
Then woman came from among the crowd,
With her long white hair, and her slight form
bowed.
She sleutly kuelt by the form of clay,
And kissed the lips that were cold and gray.
Then the sad old face with its snowy hair,
On his youthful bosom lay pillowed there.
He had found her at last, his waiting bride,
And the people buried them side by side.
