The men who are now taking the lead
In the front ranks of future manufac-
turing towns, are young men of char
acteristlc western push and energy,
and they will succeed.
A leading public-spirit of the new
Board OF Trade says: ''The branches
of manufacturing think best adapted
to the wants of our town, are more
pulp mills and two or three paper
mills for making the finer grades of
paper from pulp, as the cheapness of
the raw material here makes it an in
dustry wherein is much profit. Slabs
can be bought here, delivered at the
mill, for so cents per cord, while the
finest of poplar wood can be laid down
at the mill for So so per cord, and it is
here in great plenty. We also want a
plow factory. In fact, I think any
legitimate branch of manufacturing
will pay here" That just about tells
the whole story. If man coming
here to engage in any branch OF man
ufacturing, has practical knowledge
of his business, he will succeed All
those factories already established are
dong we'll, and that certainly ought
to be sufficient argument in favor of
this locality.
Cheap living and good houses easily
obtained, are two other important
items III favor of this town, and from
the fact that mechanics can so easily
obtain houses here, they will become
permanently located when once given
employment.
l suppose much more could be writ
ten in favor of this town, but the
above is surely enough to convince
eastern men that the town is centrally
located, well supplied with railroads,
a failing water-power and the
raw material, fo" use in many factor
les, right on the ground so what more
is necessary to commend the town to
capitalists?
forgot to say, however, that the
O., M. & st. 2. r. r. runs directly
through the extensive lumber dis
tricts of the State, and over this line

A WONDERFUL mine in Telluride,
Col, is described by correspondent
of the New Orleans Times-Democrat:
About fifty feet from the entrance is
a large cone-shaped chamber, about
eighty feet in height and forty in di-
ameter The walls and roof are almost
solid galena, and the floor, to the
depth of six or eight feet, is composed
of soft lead carbonates. Three cham
bers. ranging from seventy to one hun
dred and twenty feet IN length and
averaging about eighty feet in dame
ter, radiate from the main cone. and
are of about the same formation of gal
ena. These three passages have numer-
GUS small ones running off In every
direction, and in them the carbonates
are of higher grade, and they run
much better in silver, The ore can
be easily detached.

IACIdIISt.
Did any one drop fifty cent piece
here in the straw?" inquired a man on
a horse-car last evening.
Like chain-lightning several raen
felt in their pockets, and replied in a
chorus:
Eyes, I did"
Then the man walked out on
the platform, SO that he could get off
and run, if necessary, and said:
''Then why don't you get down and
look for it before some one picks it up?
That's what I do every time I drop
money"
And as he skipped off the car, the
men who said they had dropped a
fifty-cent piece kept well screened be-
hind their evening papers.

Sheridan'S Last Arrest.

Moore has omitted one of the most
touching and heart-stirring anecdotes
connected with the funeral of Sheri-
dan. The noble and select company
had assembled to pay the last tribute
of respect to departed genius, and the
coffin was about to be placed in the
hearse, when an elegantly dressed per-
sonage, who pretended to be distantly
related to the deceased, entered the
chamber of death At his urgent en-
treaties to view the face of his friend.
the coffin lid was unscrewed; when to
the horror and surprise of the bystand
ers, he pulled out a warrant, and ar
rested the body! Mr.. Canning and
Lord Lidmouth wentinto an adjoining
room, and paid the debt, which Git is
said amounted to $500.

Rev WIZ. LeLacheur,s Case.

Mr. EDTToR:-The phraseology employed by
the reporter Of the Associated Press in relation
to the action of the Maine Methodist Confer
encs in the case OF Rev. d. W. LIE Lacheur Is
liable to serious misconstruction. The state
ment that Mr.. LIE Lacheur's name was
stricken from all connection with the Metho-
dist ministry and Conference" sounds very
much like expulsion. On the contrary the
Bishop stated that the year for which he was
originally suspended having expired, his
standing in the Conference was the same as
that of any ether member; upon which Rev.
Mr.. Jaques moved that the Conference assent
to the aoithdraa0al OF Mr.. lie Lacheur from the
ministry and membership of the NJ. e. Church
which motion prevailed.
1t is true that the Presiding Elder presented,
and afterwards withdrew, charge of Insub-
ordination, based upon the fact that, not
withstanding his suspension Mr.. LeLacheur
had during the past year officiated as a minis
ter in the Independent Methodist ohu-ch on
Vaughn street. An effort was made to have
the record read, "withdrawn under censure,"
but the Bishop ruled that such was not the
fact, as his character had passed. Conference
phrase meaning nothing against him"
Mr.. L. occupies then the position that any
upright minister would, who for ecclesiastical
or theological reasons should elect to sever his
connection with one denomination to unto
himself to another. JUSTICE
