There Is not household In which this

Writing from Plattsburg, Mo-, Mr.. A.
Musser says: In common with thousands
of Kentuckians of the Blue-Grass region,
fifty years ago, knew Nat Speaks, colored
man of uudeniable genius and unaffected
piety. He was the originator Of the hymn,
''The Old Ship Of Zlon," with the chorus,
''Glory Halleluiah," out Of which has since
grown 'John Btown's Body" and the cele-
brated war song, "Rally Round the Flag. u
Nat Speaks, when first saw him in 1884,
was Of middle age and black Of skin as the
purest blood Of his race, kind in behavior,
and simple in speech as a child His free
dom had been bestowed upon him by his
master, in whose family he had been born
slave, where he had been taught by the
children to read and write. He passed his
freedom in useful farm labor and his spare
time as a volunteer evangelist; teaching by
example, rather than by precept, the simple
truths Of Christianity. His strong point was
earnest singing of hymns of his own max
ing, Of the class of compositions general then
as corn-feld and constructing songs, with
a grand chorus. s'The Old Ship OF Zionn is
readily recognized as belonging to that class
'sThe gospel ship is sailing.
Sailing. sailing.
Found for Canaan's happy shore,
All who would ship for glory.
Glory, glory,
All who would ship for glory
wildly recall to mind that once, during a
season OF great religious interest in Cynthi-
ana, KY, Nat Speaks would be invited even
ing after evening to the houses Of the leading
citizens to sing his sold Ship of Zion," and
many nice little sums of money were pressed
into his hands for his performances, which
never failed to impress his hearers, and not
always without tears--Missou-i RspUbS;cGl.

If ever go into a new locality again,

than I did this time; for my ignorance
got me into most uncomfortable posi-
ton. As the boat neared Sanford. |
was standing with others on the deck,
when a very pretty Young lady came mp
to me, and with sweet smile on her
face, looked into mine with pair Of
| lovely eyes, and asked: "Are you going
to kiss me. sir?" If some one had offered
to lend me ten dollars could not have
been more surprised, and hardly know
1 ing what to say, and in order to gain a
little time, gasped out: Pardon, Miss
what did you asl2' felt that she knew
heard her, but she said sweetly. 'Are
you going to kiss me night" There
was no misunderstanding her this time.
I heard her and so did others, and I felt
4 the blood rushing into my face, and
stammered out: 81 would like to ac-
commodate you, Miss; I would truly
but have wife and and thirteen small
children on board with me and if m,
wife should see me kissing you' " Kiss
: ing me. you hateful old thing! VIII

yelled; s'You asked me twice. 1.Yol
old fool, asked you if you were goin,

you know anything?" and off she went
and if anybody felt meaner than did
would like to exchange photograph
with him. --Ex.

The Mails.

1t has been eight days since Wood
River has had an eastern mail.
Until this winter, at no time i'll our his
tory for the past three years has Ketch-
um missed more than one or two mails.
Two years ago, when the SHOWS We're fully
as deep as now the Blackfoot stage line
kept open communications between
that point and this during the entire
winter Last winter, 50 and SO, ex-
perienced comparatively no snow but
it was perhaps fortunate for the people
of Wood River that at that time we had
no railroad. The old stage line service
now shows itself to have been q super
Tor means for carrying mails: the stages
between HALEY and Ketehum, notwith-
standing the deep SHOWS, have not miss
ed trip this winter. And were the
eastern mail line still by way of Black
foot it is very probable we should have
regular mails. The old-time ''coach
and four are the best snow fighters
after all.

Almost Killed.

A snow-shde occurred at the Ontario
mine on Warm Spring creek last Sun
day, and caught man named Elliott
carrying him violently a distance of
about 500 feet. He was completely
buried in the snow and almost suffoeat-
before he could be reached. The min
ers saw the accident and luckily knew
where the victim was buried. They
dug with all possible effort for about
twenty minutes before reaching him.
He was found perfectly conscious but
laboring hard for breath No limbs
were broken, and little exercise re
stored the man to his former self.

Women's Suffrage.

At q meeting of the Alturas Literary
Society last night the question of wom-
ems suffrage was discussed, and through
curiosity u KEYSTONE reporter stood at
the door and took the sentiment of the
audience as it passed out. Each vote
was cast in favor of women's suffrage
..yes'' or mo" and of 172 persons 40
voted ssno" and so voted Eyes" OF the
ladies, voted "yes" and ~ voted '.no. :
OF the the gentlemen, A voted Eyes" and
rs voted mo-" 1t is perhaps owing to
the fact that many of the young gentle
men We're accompanied by young ladies
that they felt delicacy in the matter
and were influenced to vote contrary to
their convictions. The very conditions
of the ladies' own vote shows the readi-
nesst?) with which the females of Amer
lea would grasp the standard"

Again, it goes without saying that our
mints are being employed to keep the
country without gold currency and have
been virtually at this work ever since
1850. As it was in 1881, SO was it in 1s-
50, and us it was in 1882, SO in 1882 If
the coinage for 1884 is to be regarded a
forecast in the work OF the minis for
January, nothing but 20 dollar pieces are
to be coined, for out of eeiunage of

scription of money, while S645 is the
value of the 30 pieces Of lesser demon
nations, which the minis have to keep

THE PHILADELPHIA SHELTERS.
Their Exact Receipt and Output for
1888.

Figures showing the output of the
Philadelphia shelters have from time to

years yield was given. Official reports
having since been completed we are
now enabled to give the following:
The total amount of all ores received
ut the Philadelphia smelters at Ketchum
in the year 1883, was according to Off
cial data 15,054 1000 pounds; of which A.
100000 came from the sampling works
Of Conkhng & Moulton at Haley, and
the balance from mines tributary to
this point. The total amount smelted
in the same time was 1854 900 pounds:
leaving the balance of crude ore on hand
100000 pounds.
The ore received at the smelters came
from eighty different mines, chief among
which are the Irwin, Ontario, Elkhorn
MONDAY, Dayitt, Mayfiower, Wolftone
/ and the mir es of Bullion. A large mum
Der of prospects shipped ore in 1883 fot
1 the first time, and the number in tota
