cost Of an expedition in search OF gold IS,
estimated at $4,000. Therefore, only.
capitalists can indulge in the luxury Of
experiments. One Of the principal ope--
rators is said to have spent quarter of
a million before finding any ore. The
miners are paid only So month, with
board and lodging. The sale OF liquor
is forbidden within twelve miles from
each shaft, that discipline may be main
tanned. The number Of mines has
largely increased since the second
quarter of the present century, but that
period was the most prosperous in the
history of Siberian mining. The labor
of the serfs then cost next to nothing.
though the pay of the worlmen is now
pitiably small.

WONDERFUL PLANT.

There is a plant in CeyIon that seems,
made to grow where no other green
thing can. The curious thing about it
is the way that it manages to scatter ita
seed over the dry and desert places. The
seeds grow in a round case, shaped like
dandelion's seed head, but much
stronger and larger, being as big as a
child's head. When they are ready to
grow the boxes of seed get loose from
the stalks, and the first strong breeze,
starts them off on the sand. Away they,
so like balls, scattering the ripe seeds.
on their path for miles, and wherever a.
seed falls it takes root and grows. If
the ball comes to water it is so light that
it floats easily, while the wind still car
ries it on. In this way the seeds are
carried to the most barren shores and
begin the work of covering them with
green. This curious plant is the water
pink, called by the natives "The Great
Beard of Rama. ."-Lo,adon World.

KILLING PERRTN.

It is on record in this State that q
Michigan editor was once engaged to
fight duel. The affair occurred about
twenty-five years ago, and was brought
about by the journalist making several
vicious attacks upon the honor and hon
esty Of member of the Legislature.
The Solon first tried the usual way Of
getting even, by buying horsewhip and
hunting the editor, but when he had
found him he was knocked down and
rolled in the mud. He then sent
formal challenge, and, as the editor
opened the Letter, he turned to his two
compositors and said:
Boys, how much matter have you
got up for the first page?"
"Three columns" replied the fore
man, after measuring up on the galleys.
And we need five. You'll have it all
up by noon tomorrow, and by Wednes-
day night all the inside will be up. Then
I'll wet down the paper and make up,
and while you are working off the out
side I'll run out and shoot Old Perkins,
who has sent me challenge"
He sent formal acceptance. named
rifles as weapons, appointed the rendez-
vous within thirty rods of the office. and
then began to scratch out copy. When
the hour arrived he was making up the
forms, having got a little behind the
programme, and by and by his second
came in at the back door and said:
We've been waiting for you all of
twenty minutes"
"But I'm busy"
"This is no time to be busy. Perkins
is all ready"
"Hang the luck r. growled the editor
as he filled out IA column and flung down
his rule. "That's just like Perkins-he
wants. to throw our publication day.
Come on-I'n fill him upr"
The editor seized his gun, and hatless
and coatless he set out on lope for the
spot. Perkins saw him coming in that
fashion, and his knees weakened and his
chin dropped, and, though the editor
yelled for him to hold on minute. he
bolted over fence and didn't come out
OF the woods until he was six miles away.

Il WINTERS EVENING IN THE FEHS.

Now the sun sinks the distant swamp below,
Steals back its golden streamers of the light;
Old Norwich pile has lost its FURNISHED glow,
And all has vanished in the approaching night.
In dusky groups the slender poplars stand,
And far off rear their forms against the SKY;
While clustering pollards mark the level strand,
Or frozen brooks that one time rippIed by.
The shrill north wind its old-world legend sings,
Forsakes the Arctic fastness of its throne,
ARd bears the dread ice maiden on its wings,
To range the marsh and make the fens its own.
Again the frost has numbed the leaden clouds
myriad snow-shaped forms are fitting past;
The hungry wild-fowl wheel in timid crowds,
And scream piercing burden to the blast
Pile up the fr-logs, pile upon the fire!
Our limbs are cold; this evening gloom appals
That rudy blaze shall fash its beams yet higher
And chase the thousand shadows from m the walls

CLEFT FOR ME-"

In the pleasant county of Devon, in

cottages scattered over it. mused and
sang Augustus Toplady. When lad OF
Is, and on visit to Ireland, he had
strolled into a barn in which an 1literate
layman was preaching-but preaching
reconciliation to God through the death
of His Son. The homely sermon took
effect, and from that moment the gospel
welded all the power of this brilliant
and active mind. During his last illness
Augustus Toplady seemed to lie in the
vestibule of glory. To friends inquiry
he answered with sparkling eye go,
my dear sir, cannot tell the comforts

abundant that He leaves me nothing to
pray for. Ny prayers are all converted
into praise. I enjoy a heaven already
within my SOUL" And within an hour
of dying he called his friends and asked
if they could give him up; and, when
they replied in the affirmative, ears of
JOY ran down his cheeks as he added
go, what blessing that you are made
willing to give me over to the hands of

my soul! !" And thus died the author of

Gen. S. P. Jennison tells an amusing
story of the hospital medical practice at
Fort Ridgely during the war. The main
illness occurring there among the troops
was from the results of getting chilled
and the surgeon always prescribed blue
pill, to be followed by ferret of castor
oil. The surgeon having occasion to be
absent a week, left the hospital and medi
cine chest in charge of an orderly until his
return. During his absence one o. the
officers feeling trifingly unwell thought he
would take q dose of castor oil to rid him
self of biliousness, as was his practice to
do several times year, and applied to the
orderly for the medicine.
Captain-Orderly, give me small bot
tie of castor oil.
Orderly-Hold out and let me feel your
pulse.
Captain-Pshaw, I amt sick. 1 only
want little oil to keep from getting SO.
Orderly-Can't see it sir. Must try
your pulse. The medical formula of this
hospital must not be encroached upon.
Captain-( Permitting his pulse to be
tested.) Now hand over the oil.
Orderly-You will have to take a blue

ance with the rules of the hospital.
Captain-I don't want any blue pill.

oil for corrective.
Corporal do it sir. You must
have a blue pill first. Show your tongue.
Oaptain-( Displays his tongue, thereby
losing fresh chew of tobacco). There,
hurry up with my oil, you see Pm not sick.
Corporal-Not single particle of med
iclne will be dealt out of the chest to you,
sir, without you permit me first to admin
lister blue pill. The medical practice of
this institution is not to be trodden upon,
sir, by taking oil without the blue pill,
and the surgeons reputation thus ruined
during his absence. No pill, no oil.
And to his infinite disgust the captain
was compelled to go without his mild

This bristling town was surveyed

The town lots did not remain long a

offered for sale, for the records dis
closed the fact that the first were sold
ou the 24tn of the same month-just
fourteen days elapsing from the time
of the survey. which fact alone must
speak well for the future prosperity
of the place. Among its enterprising
merchants are the firm of Vaughan &
Riley, who established the first store
of general merchandise and drugs.
They handle large quantity of the
cotton raised in the country surround
ing Bertram, buying 797 bales last
season. They also show more than

first bale of new cotton of that
section this year, shipping the
same to John Bremond, of Austin.

nearly 800 bales. The "Grange Store

DEPARTMENT NOTES.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
TUESDAY.


There was considerable excitement
in Austin Sunday, on account Of a ru-
NOR that body of about SEQ negroes
were assembled in arms and had
threatened to make an attack upon
the white people at Cause, a small
railroad station on the International
route, in Milan county. So.far as can
be ascertained, there was no special
reason for the apprehended attack. If
indeed any was contemplated. The
rumor assumed some semblance here,
from the fact that the telegraph OPP.
orator at Cause could not be heard
from, and it was reported that the
wires had been cut and the operator
killed. The probabilities are that the
operator got frightened at the fact
that the negroes had assembled near
the town in force, for some purpose,
and left his post. However the rumor
started, the first telegram to the gov
ernor was as follows:
"GAUsE, 6:2O A. NJ, Oct. %, 1883.
"Five hundred negroes in arms
against the whites. Can't you help?
Answer. IL. >. Cox,

Gov. Ireland replied that he would
Immediately do what he could, and at

means for troops to get in readiness

at 1870 a. m. he received the fol-
lowing:
cat present everything quiet; ne
groes met as reported. r. S. Cox"
Thus matters rested, with the ex-
ception that the governor was kept
upl late Sunday night awaiting any
possible change in the state of affairs,
and perfecting arrangements to util-
ize the troops if required.
At 1923 yesterday morning he re-
ceived the following:
