Story of "a Death Certificate.


During quarrel peasant in the pro-
vince of Novgorod was struck in the
chest with an AK, fracturing several ribs
and wounding the lungs. He was in an
extremely critical condition, and doc
tor from the nearest town, sixty miles
distant, was sent for. The surgeon, as is
customary in Russia, took his time and
reached his patient by the slowest stages.
The man by this timo had nearly sue
cumbed to his injuries, and stood very
little chance of recovery. The doctor
made an examination and pronounced the
wound as fatal. Ho waited several hours,
thinking that the man in tho meantime
would die, but things did not turn out as
ne expected, so, in order to facilitate mat
tors and save him the trouble OF again
visiting his patient, he made out death
certificate and started home.
For some reason or other the man took
it into his head to get we'll, ana he began
TO grow better until he recovered entirely.
The authorities, learning Of the strange
proceeding, demanded the return of tho
death certificate, which was refused, and
now the man walks about in the full pos
session of the consolation that he is
legally dead, aud that his body lies buried
in the village church yard. according to
his death certificate.

CNicdgO -uuN
1 SEQ that Orange Judd is editing an
agricultural paper in Chicago. by the
way, did you ever hear how he got his
first start? 1t was nearly fifty years age.
Judd was young man, and got 1t into
his head that there was field for an agri-
cultural journal in New York. Ho didn't
have much money then, but ho had
what WAS better--brains. AS soon as tho
first number of his paper was issued
he went over to the Herald oilce and pre-
pared an "ad." In his palmy days ,ludd's
penmanship was reported to discount any
thing Greeley ever attempted in the way
of artistic etching, Judd wrote his "ad,"
aud concluded By appemding something
that looked like col" meaning that tho
lad" was to occupy ffty-one lines. The
compositor, however. translated the
marks differently, and tho next morn
ing judas 'ad" appeared flfty-one
times in tho Hcrdid. in fact that WAS
about all the advertising matter the
paper contained, II appeared in bold
characters on every page, and in nearly
every column. When Judd saw tho mis-
take he was dumblOundGd, but when bill
came in for more money than all tho prop
erty he possessed was worth he was para
lyZed. Tho result of tho matter was that
everybody was talking about Judd's paper,
and il got boom that in short time
brought wealth and plenty to the editor,
Tho tide of success thus accidentally
started was followed by Mr.. Judd until at
one time he was worth $500OOO, He's
down again now, but the old ma n has got
lots Of vigor yot.

A Walla Walla dispatch says the
C9ur d'Alene mining excitement
keeps up, and people are flocking, or
are going like foolish sheep. There is
no reason for excitement yet. Re-
ports of the most exaggerated nature
are published in contiguous towns,
such as assays of $685. per ton from
ore and $50 nuggets picked up on the
surface, when there is six or eight
feet OF snow on level every where.
Every town claims to have the best
route to the mines. 1t is certainly a
mineral country, and much gold and
good lodges may exist, but the ex-
element should be stopped or many
will suffer.

Samuel Glover writing to a friend

d'Alene mines: Nearly every one l
have talked with seem to think the
mines are both rich and extensive;
but they all have ground for sale and
that very cheap. One man said he
took 1900 out of his claim; he sluiced
two days and cleaned up S4OO and yet
he is broke. Now to be honest,
don't think it best to be in a rush as
the whole country is already taken
up. If the mines prove to he rich
there will be just as good chances after
the rush is over. At present l think
the mines greatly everestimated.

The Walla Walla Union saws:
while in Portland recently, we met
q number of railroad men, some of
whom are connected with the North
ern Pacific Railroad in official ca
pacities, and were shown letters from
some high in the councils of the
management, and their unanimous
opinion appeared to be that the Cas-
cade branch is to be built as rapidly
as possible. 1t was their opinion that
the work of construction would be
vigorously resumed early In the spring
on both sides of the range. The
understanding is that the Matches
pass has been selected as the best and
most practicable.
