A Bit of Advice from the Coeur
d'Alene.

The glowing and enthusiastic reports
I read before leaving Chicago repre-
sented Eagle City to be in state of
hopeful excitement, wLile, alas! there
is no trace Of excitement to be found
now. The town is quiet and business
dull, and although everybody seems
sanguine, or at least pretends to ap-
pear so, a reaction seems to have set
in. Contrary to what we heard at Bel
KNAPP. we found here that the mines
could not be worked yet, while the
snow is still deep in the mountains and
the water rising rapidly. Only few
claims are being worked now, and
these Intellectually. There are no cap.
italists here; a great many if not the
most of the claims are being held by
men who have no means to open and
work them, and there are few claims
in which an interest could not be bought
cheaply. There is not q gulch within
twenty miles of Eagle City that is not
located, but mining is an expensive
business, and, there being no money in
camp, things do not look very bright
at the present moment Everybody
thinks that it will turn out a good
camp after all; but there is no chance
working the claims before the snow
disappears. Although this might be
a good country for prospectors who
have sufficient money to hold out, or
for capitalists who wish to speculate.
it is no country for the poor man. Liv-
ing is dear, chances for employment
none. there being no money in camp to
employ labor; accommodation is scan
ty and awfully expensive. In short, I
should earnestly advise everybody ex-
cept capitalists not to think of coming
out before the end Of June, if at ALL
for those who come with but little
money will spend it before they can get
employment, and those arriving here
with no money stand no chance of
making a living. = Correspondence Chi

Beecher's Bad Head.

For two months in the year Henry
Ward Beecher can't preach. In August
and September he takes his vacation
and endures the onset of the hay fever.
A man with the hay fever ISM ntaccount-
able for his actions. He is frantic with
snuffing, sneezingand headache. Every
nerve in his skull thrills with distress,
and his head is fountain of tears. He
lives only to fly from seaside to mount
ain-top in search of relief: This form
of catarrh (hay fever) Ely's Cream
Balm will cure. Placed in the nostrils
it penetrates and soothes the affected
parts at once, restores the impaired
senses and creates healthy secretions.
You cannot run away from hay fever
but you can drive it from you by using
Ely's Cream Balm. 1t

Enlightened selfishness.

By comparison Of himself with others.
by taking note Of the points OF agree
ment and the points Of difference be-
tween himself and others, the right
minded man learns TO do his duty to
his neighbor, while the wrong-minded
man learns TO take undue advantage
Of his neighbor. In common speech the
first Of these is called unselfish and the
latter selfish, but the former term Is
wrongly used, since both courses Of &C
ton, the good and the evil, alike spring
from self. The good man does good
because it gratifies him, pleases him,
makes him happy to see others happy
and to know that he has been the
means of making them so; while the
bad man does evil because it pleases
his depraved nature to make others
miserable. When injured or aggrieyed
we turn. 1t is human nature. The
man who only feels like hurting some
body when he has himself been hurt or
when he has seen somebody do some
one else an injury, may be called q
model man. se.--z-.a
The true philanthropist is not unself-
ish. Was it not well-known philan-
thropist of Washington who recently
said that the only things he seemed to
really possess were those he had given
awayP Such man as Peter Cooper
was as selfish as any less-loved million
aire, and derived much qualification
from his kind of seltishness. Rich and
poor. young and old, man and woman.
can obtain a more intense pleasure
from deed of goodness than from its
opposite. But there are natures that
are almost utterly incapable of this
pure pleasure, and love only to show
their power of inficting misery. If
our young of both sexes, both at home
and at school, were taught the happi-
ness of goodness. the number of those
evil spirits whose pleasure consists in
doing i'll deeds would become smaller,
and society would improve. The fear
of punishment in future state will
never be sufficient by itself to make
men abstain from present qualification.
1t is too far off, and all of us hope we
can dodge it somehow. Philadelphia

William Reynolds, a machinist at
Cecil Paper Mills, recently got into an
ugly predicament. He went into what
is known as the stuff chest-a large
iron tank, in which set of arms re-
volve and keep the pulp agitated-to
repair some part of it. While there
the pulp was turned on and the ma
cninery started by some one not know
ing that any one was inside. To keep
out of the way of the revolving arms,
Mr.. Reynolds was obliged to walk
round and round, the pulp meanwhile
pouring down on him. He walked and
cried out at the top of his voice for o
long time and until he was nearly ex-
hausted, but at last his cries were heard
and the machinery stopped. At this
time the pulp was waist deep and MIR.
REYNOLDS was covered with it from
head to foot.-Belair Times.

CLEVELAND AND LABOR.
Why the Workingmen Mean to Vote
for Him.

At a meeting of workingmen of
New York, held on the 25th ult., it
was decided to circulate 100, 900 copies
of the following: Twenty-four rea-
sons why we, as workingmen, will
vote and work for Cleveland: :, i.'"
First-we will vote for Cleveland
because he signed on June 4th, 1884,
the bill which abolishes contract child
labor IN all the institutions in the
State.
g Second will vote for Cleveland
because he signed the bill which re-
duced the exorbitant fees Of one Of
the greatest monopolies in the coun-
try, namely: the association of New
York Pilots, who are paid by direct
tax on commerce. They are rich men
and their fees were from $4,000 to
$4,000 for each man every year.
Cleveland reduced them to $4,000.
D. Third-We will vote for Cleveland
because he signed the bill which Sc.
cures pension to the widows and or.
phans of policemen. One section ol
the bill provides for testing boilers,
and thus adds to the safety of every
working engineer
Fourth Wewill vote for Cleveland
because by vetoing the Elevated Rail
road Fare bill, he sat an example tt
all employers, of honest dealing with
laboring men, and showed the need Of
keeping bargain fair and square
with every man. fit" q
Fifth--We will vote for Cleveland
because he signed the bill which auth

Polishing the Wrong End.

Many men daily polish their boots
who never give thought to the condi-
tion of their hair, except to harrow it
casually with brush and comb, or sub
NIT it to the paralyzing attentions of
the average barber. What happens?
Why, this: From the neglect, mental
anxiety, or any of score of causes, the
hair turns prematurely gray and begins
to fall out. Parker's Hair Balsam will
at once stop the latter process and re-
store the original color. An elegant
dressing, free from grease, ~ = I'm !

d A Blacksnake's Feast.

While l was moving in the meadow
heard couple of old guinea hens max
ing a fearful noise, and upon going to
where they were, found that very
large blacksnake had coiled itself
around the nest in which were three
eggs. soon concluded from his looks
that he had been swallowing eggs, SO I
took up my moving blade and cut his
head off pretty well back OF the first
egg. Standing upon his tail with one
foot. and pressing his body with the
back Of my moving blade, l very soon
landed nineteen eggs, safe and sound,
all in pile. v Then with stick very
carefully rolled them back into the
nest, making twenty-five in all. The
old hen, after considerable sparring
around, went on to the nest again, and
in a few days came strutting up the
yard with nineteen little chicks. Upon
going back to the nest l found three,
eggs which had not hatched, and they
were rotten. Troy (Mo.. Free Press.

Humor in the Stomach.

Much of the distress and sickness at
tributed to dyspepsia, chronic diarrh@a
and other causes is occasioned by humor
in the stomach. Several cases, with all
the characteristics of these complaints,
have been cured by Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. Other cures effected by this med
icine are so wonderful that the simplest
statement of them affords the best proof
that it combines rare curative agents
and when once nsed secures the conf
dence of the people. A. eng

II is only an old mans advice,
You may take i, or not as you cL oose
But those who are anxious TO gain s.
Must also be wiling TO lose:
and he who is.siiUgy and mean,
Gan nc'cr becxpectedt to find
THAT others will be unto him
More generous, noble and kind.
Ii Love be the good tina, we crave,
Each hour AMI each momen. We learn
The truly affectionatc heart
Receives amplsweallh in re,u:n;
SO if you would gain new friend,
Your friendliness seek TO display, a
For the nearest and dearest you'll find
Arcth6sc you meet an half way.
If fortune alone be the prize
You covet, its price must be paid:
And often the gain is much less,s
Alas than the sacrifice nale:
Yet greedily seeking for wealth
We eagerly press for tho goal.
So bent upon winning the void
We rashly imperil the soul.
Whatever the race that we run,
Whatever the course that we choose,
We must make up our minds IN the star
How much VIC dare venture to lose:
Or else we may happen TO find
That what VIC have sought for with yes
Was really no gain, but loss,
OF all that was dearest and best.
Forgwisdom and hcnorof age
With tae freshness of youth we may part
Nor dream that crown on the head
Imposes q cross on tie heart:
Ard they who discover. too late,
They paid On exorbitant price
For Ill they gained, may regret
Not taking TN old maui . advice.
