VIENNA.
The Surrounding Mines Showing More
Ore Than Ever.

Aaron Morris, who has just returned
from Vienna, says that the mines OF
Smiley gulch are more promising than
ever. A body of richer and freer ore
than heretofore worked has just been
struck in the Mountain King mine,
while the water is leaving the others,
and work can doubtless be resumed in
all in couple of weeks.
The Vienna Company have just lei
contracts for cutting and hauling foul
thousand cords of wood, and for 8
large quantity of salt-thus evincine
their determination to continue the
mill at work indefinitely. There il
more ore in sight in the King and vi
emma mines now, Mr.. Alorris thinks
than at any time heretofore.

A Conviction for Violating the Fish and
Game Laws.

Constable Oliver has at last sue
ceeded in having one of the parties
fishing in Silver creek with seines
punished, but it was difficult job, as
those engaged in the business screen
each other The only way to secure a
conviction was to catch the guilty
ones at it. Constable Oliver went
down with this intention "a few days
ago, and yesterday returned with a
rancher named Powers, whom he
caught in the act of using seine
The man has a family, and PLEADED
poverty, SO he was let off with fine
of only $25; but any Others founc
guilty will be more severely deal

THE NEW POSTMASTER.
H. Il. Bnrkhart Was Nominated Yes.
tcruay.

About 10 O'Clock last night H. Z.
Burkhalt received telegram an
nounclng that his name would be sent
in to the Senate for Postmaster of
HALEY within an hour. This was
probably done. Mr.. Burkhart will
therefore be Hailey's postmaster as
soon as his bond is approved-which
will be in about three weeks.
The postmastership has been vacant
for number of months, and at least
half-a-dozen persons applied for it ;
but most of them withdrew about six
weeks ago. There never were but
two applicants who has, any show.
These were H. Z. Burkhart and w. 7.
Riley. The latter wa opposed on the
ground that, II years ago, while post
master, he Endorsed a star route con-
tractors bond-which was contrary tc
the postal regulations and, also, be.
cause he did not want the office fol
himself, but for friend of his Wher
informed Of this, Mr.. Riley at once
Withdrew, when two or three Others
entered the field.
Mr.. Burkhart will not give unani
nous satisfaction, because that is i'm
possible; but as he is eminently fitted
for the position (having been express
and stage agent here for nearly tire,
years., he will doubtless come as nea
it as any man could.
George Osborne, the express clerl
in Burkhart & Co.'s, will now doubt
less become express and stage agent
as the postal regulations prohibit tn
postmaster from holding these offices
The people of HALEY will regret t
see Mr.. Fuld relieved. He is a faith
, full, conscientious man and good cit1
zen, and had the matter been left wit
them they would never have consente
to his removal.

THE SOLACE GROUP.
Work Upon 1t to be Resumed at One

Work Upon 1t to be Resumed at Once.
J. S. Childs, Superintendent of the
Solace group of mines, at Vienna, re-
turned this morning from a Winters
soiourn in California. He says that
the lateness of the season is unpre-
cedcnted everywhere.
He has laid out no special plan OF
operations for this summer, but he
will doubtless start up work on the
lower tunnel, and may keep rs to AZ
men at work from this time on. But
this will depend on circumstances.
There is quite quantity of ore i,
sight in his mines, but he hardl,
/ thinks that he will build a mill, as h
NAV be able to sc cure one to maxi
occasional runs of ore, and this woul'
be more satisfactory than if he bull
one himself. 1t would also requir
the investment of much less money
While mills are very necessary il
mining sections, still when there ar
two already built it is sometimes hes

THE G. A. II. BALL.
1t Was a Most Enjoyable and Thor.
Oughly Successful Affair.

The inaugural ball of the HALEY
post of the Grand Army of the Re
public, which took place in the Dis
trict Courtroom, last evening, was a
thoroughly successful affair. All of
60 couples were in attendance, in
Guiding 10 couples from Bellevue,
and dancing was continued until after
4 O'Clock this Notwithstanding
quite unusual. Nor was any time
lost between dances. Ten and nine
quadrille sets were on the floor at one
time, and very few failed to return
after supper.
The Grand Army boys had done
their best to decorate the room with
flags-the only means of decoration
usually adopted by them. On the
landing the visitor noticed stand O.
arms, with an unarmed sentinel or
guard. The entrance and ends o
the room were draped with the Star
and Stripes, while large number o
smaller flags hung from the chande
liers and lamps. The presence O
lime dust in the air was slightly per
ceptible, but that was unavoidable il

A party had been made up i
Ketchum, to come down, also, one i
Haley, but they were kept away b
the condition of the roads.

Character in Hsnd-shaking.

The different modes of shaking hands
Will delineate human character better
than any other single act can do, and
many peculiarities of different persons
may be noticed in the performance Of
this social custom.
Who would expect to get handsome
donation-or any donation at ali-from
man who would give two fingers to be
shaken, and keeps the others bent up as
upon an itching palm? pr
The hand coldly held out to be shaken
and drawn away again as soon as it de-
Gently may be, indicates cold, selfish
character, while the hand which seeks
yours cordially, and unwilfingly relin-
pushes its warm clasp, gives token of a
genial disposition, and of heart full of
sympathy for humanity.
How much there is in the heart can be
made to express itself through the agen-
cy of the fingersl Who, having once
experienced it, has ever forgotten the
feeling conveyed by the eloquent pres
sure of the hand from dying friend
when the tongue has ceased to speak?
A right hearty grasp of the hand indi-
Gates warmth and ardor, while a soft,
lax touch, without grasp, indicates the
opposite characteristics. In the grasp of
persons with large-hearted, generous
minds, there is a "whole-souled' gener-
Gus expression most refreshing and ac-
ceptable to kindred spirits But when
man presents you with few cold, clam
my, lifeless fingers, feeling very much
like dead fish, and expects you to do all
the shaking, it will naturally make you
think of the hospital, and other cheerful
things.
Contrary to this style there is habit
among rude class of giving your
hand crushing grasp, which is often
most painful. In these cases there
may be great kindness, and "strong"
affection, but it is as crude as it is hearty
II the grasp is warm, ardent, and Wig
orous, so is the disposition. If is cool,
formal, and without emotion, so is the
character. If it is magnetic and ANNA
ting, the disposition is the same. As we
shake hands, so we feel-so we are. But
why do we shake hands at all? 1t is
very old-fashioned way of indicating
friendship. We read in the Bible that
Jehu said to Jonadab:
SIS thy heart right, as my heart is with
thine heart? Fit be, give me thine
hand"
And it is not merely an old-fashioned
custom. 1t is the contact of sensitive
and magnetic surfaces through which
there is, in something more than merely
a figurative sense, an interchange of feel
ing. The same principle is illustrated
in another of our modes of greeting.
When we wish togreciprocate the warm
err feelings, we aiSs not content with the
contact of hands, NE bring the lips into
service.

fell SO heavily upon the goats ribs that
j she protested vigorously, and finally
threw the boy upon the grass, and he
rolled down through the bushes frfnging
the quarry's edge, and, with a sparp cry
OF terror, disappeared. The goats rope
caught in the bushes, and she browse,I
IN her new,pasture contentedly.
The evening shadows slowly lengthen-
ed IN the valley. Outlined against the
Western sky was the portly form of Mrs.
McGee, as she called her ducks
from Browns pond to their evening
meal. As the last flaming bannerets OF
red and crimson died out of the west the
smouldering fires of Cross lime kiln
cleaned against the background of Lind
| sley's woods.
The night was dark and starless when
Micheal Finn reached home.
where's little Mike?' said he to Mrs.
Finn as she peared into a pot bubblins
unsteady upon the stove.
"Shure, | dunno where he is" she re-
piled. 'sHe's afther lettin' the pig at
the cabbidge this mornin' Mebbe he's
over til O'Brien's. I'll 60 and see."
But Mrs. O'Brien hadn't seen him.
1t soon became noised about the is
land that Mike Firms boy was lost, ard
the shanty was quickly filled with SYM
pathizing friends. The goats barrel was
turned up, but no boy rolled out to greet
the gaze of his grief-stricken mother.
The country was secured in every di-
rection, and lanterns twinkled and
torches famed on the hillsides. The
clock i'll st. Mary's steeple was striking
10 when Phelm O'Rourke, standing mp
on knoll in Stumpy field, heard the
bleating of goat He listened. Again
the sound came clear and distinct.
Phelm started in the direction of the
sound, stopping occasionally to listen,
and as he heard the welcome bleat, re-
Stunning his course until " found the
goat on the quarry's edge. His loud hal
loo called number of the searchers to-
gether, and the passage made by Mick
ey's body through the bushes was dis
covered. BY the flickering light of a
torch Phelim peered over the cliffs edge,
while the watchers hearts stood still
Hes lyin' about thirty feet below on
shift in the rock" said Phelm.
A rope was tied securely around
Phelim's waist, and he was lowered
slowly down. Then the rope slackened
81 have him, and he's alive. Careful,
nOw!' came from below.
Gently the rope with it's burden was
pulled up. The yellow hair of the tru-
ant appeared above the brink, and the
blue eyes looked around wonderingly.
'fAisy, now, aisy," and the child was
in the arms OF his father. A mighty
shout rent the air. Mickey was carefully
kneaded, to see if his bones were all
sound. Beyond few bruises, he had
suffered no injury. AS he was borne
along on the shoulders of his father, in
the centre OF the rescuring party, the
woods of stumpy field echoed with tri-
umphant cries, and smiling faces reflect
ed the smoky glare of torches. Holding
on to his unsteady seat by the paternal
hair, Mickey leaned over and whispered
.'Fader, have We de pictur' cards? ?"

Antidote to Snake Bites.
Popular Science.

In your issue of March 10, the state
ment is made by scientific contributor
that no true antidote has been found for
the bite of venomous snakes. While this
may be true of the snakes of the whole
world, L believe that as to those of the
United States there is an antidote. There
are very many poisonous snakes in this
part of Texas, and a snake-bitten person
is not hard to find here. Many reme-
dies are used, but the really only salts
factory one, and yet the one that is best
known, is the use of alum, the dose of
which is about heaping large teaspoon
full. | have seen it tried in at least eight
cases, and have heard of many more.
The eight cases referred to comprising
six different species of snakes, namely
the large rattlesnake, the water mecca
sin, the ground rattlesnake, the spread
ing adder and the blunt-tailed moccasin,
by far the most venomous snake in the
Country Alum was used in all of the
eight cases with the greatest satisfaction
and the best of results, although as is
claimed in the article referred to the
venom may be of different nature in
each species. In one of the cases | my
self was the sufferer, being bitten by the
dwarf or ground rattlesnake, whose bite
is nearly twice as poisonous as that of
two large moccasns, and although
could not get the alum for at least an
hour after being bitten, and the limb
sweled from the foot to the groin, vet
/ am we'll and hearty and no bad effects
followed the bite. This will add vet
My sufferings were greater than those of
any one bitten person with whom | am
now acquainted, but this 1 attribute to
the length of time which elapsed be-
tween the bite and the taking of the rem
edy, and also to an overdose of alum, as
took piece nearly the size of d hens
egg. | do not know in what way alum
counteracts the venom, but 1t gets in the
circulation and seems to act within few
minutes from the time of taking. In nv
case it was powerfully emetic and dras-
tic, but was well in three hours, save
the pain in my leg as far as it had
swelled before taking the alum. In
cases where less alum was taken the pa
tients recovered without any other ef-
fects than sick stomach; in one case the
man only lost his dinner, and went back
to work as soon he got the alum.
You may give this publicity if you see
fit. 1t may save others lives and be of
great benefit but at the same time | care
nothing about my name in print
