! a lady in Brooklyn the other day to
her husband, as he peeled of his coat
and sat down on three cnairs for the
evening. IT always thought that
they fist bored into the ground with
a paystreak until they found the
shaft, and then they drifted for the
assessment, and when they found it
they just put a blast in the indications
and sailed the dump. Now, it seems
that you don't do it that way. You
follow up the micaceOus slate until
you strike the bias fold. Then you
see if you can't find q color that
matches the copper~stained trilobites
that you prospect, and you"
mo, 1 must stop you there. You
are getting q little off the vein. You
probably have the right idea, but you
are using terms that are not correct.
After they pinch cut the night shift
then they salt the contact and pinch
out the vertical chilblain. Then they
drift for the blossom rock, baled hay
and poverty until they strike the
varicose vein. After that is q short

A We Unmatched Pair.

Along with my brother, who was
collecting matter for a work he
was about 70 publish I visited the
interesting town Of Hexam inter
esting at least for him, for it was a
fine field for historical research
although, for my own part, I found
little to admire besides its ancient
church. The circumstance which
more than anything else secured the
town q lasting place in my memory
was our taking a lodging with an
extraordinary pair-an old man and
woman, husband and wife, who
lived by themselves, without child
or servant, subsisting on the letting
of their parlOr and bedrooms. They
were tall, thin and erect, though
each 20 years of age.
When We knocked at the door for
admittance they answered it together:
If we rang the bell the husband and
wife invariably appeared side by side:
all our requests and demands were
received ny both, and executed with
the utmost nicely and exactness. The
first night, arriving late by the coach
from Newcastle, aud merely requir-
ing a good fire aud our tea, we were
puzzled to understand the reason of
this double attendance; and I remem.

wondering whether we were always
to be waited upon by these Siamese
twins.
On ringing the bell to retire fol the
night both appeared as usual the
wife carrying the candlestick, the
husband at the door. 1 gave her d. |

NO HAIR IN THE N
A New English Fashion Which
Demands Beardiess Bank
Clerks.

Eyes, I've heard 1t and all the
street is talking about it, said Rufus
Hatch to a New YORK Star reporter
the other day.
"And they have seriously issued
orders in London banks for the
clerks to shave their faces clean?"
"Yes, the order forbids wearing
boards or mOustaches during bust
ness hours"
"At other times they may wear
them, then? But how are they go
ing to get them on after business
hours?" asked the reporter.
There is one way. Use glue" said
the CHEEKY f%inancier.
"Dou you think such q rule will
be enforced here?"
''Of course it will. It's English
and all English fashions 20 here
now. It will make q racket among
the bank clerks and in the brokers'
offices though he said with q hearty
laugh.
"Why do they value their boards
so highly, these clerks ?"
You see boards cover cheek and
mask brass" said Rufus. "You can't
tell 1t FROM sterling coin with q hir-
suite veil before it. The Presidents are
determined to study the play of fea-
lures in banks hereafter to learn if
the clerks are up to the same rackets
as they are on"
"And boards are masks of facial
expression ;"
"Of course There's no sentiment
in hair"
Except love. The clerks mash
with their mustaches."
"Well, that don't paw. Besides. it's |
dangerous for a bank to have a pretty |
clerk. Many q mustache has ruined |

many ladies'"
but isn't the attraction of ladies to

That theory won't work on the street.

THE STAR ROUTE BUSINESS,

It matters not whom the oonven.
ton now In session 1T Chicago may
nominate for the Presidency, the dis.
graceful ending Of the star route
trials IL . potent argument in fav>
or of q change of administration.
The rottenness Of those prosecutions
crop out more and more a. the parties
engaged in them tell their stories.
The evidence Is Irresistible that on
, the part Of some Of those concerned
the whole business WAS . source Of
money-making and q ~disgraceful
farce as far a. the cause of justice Is
concerned.
MI. Ker, one of the government
attorneys in the cases, has testified
before the Springer investigating
committee. In his testimony he told
how Bliss, another one of the prose-
cutting attorneys, prevented him from
converting with Corkhill and others
who were associated with him in the
cases; how he told Bliss it would be
fatal 10 indict men by their initials
only, and was compelled to do 50 in
the case of Rerdell and Sanderson,
whose names Bliss asserted could
not be obtained; how an in
correct name was furnished in
Vaile's case how Bliss insisted
that Sanderson's name ought to be
dropped altogether, and how by these
means the richest of the conspirators
escaped without trial.
Mr.. Ker, further testiles that Bliss
would not "have anything to do"
with Walsh who was the only direct
and conclusive witness against KEEL
ogg and Brady, and that Bliss tried
to get the prosecution to 'let Dorsey
3d." MI. Dorsey has already said
that he was told he would be ''let go"
upon payment of $780, 900 in money,
but that he declined, and that he as
serted his belief that Sanderson, Vale
and others were let so at q cost of
I2OO, 900.
Is it possible that all these stories
mean nothing? Will it be be-
ieved, IN their face. that the prosecu-
ion of the Star Route rascais had an
honest feature in 1t from the start to
he close?
Mr.. George Bliss is the nearest and
most confidential bosom friend of
President Arthur. Does any M sup
'ose that the Administration did not
tand closely behind him IN these
s~tar-route cases? And [
oes any one believe the ADMINISTERS
ion will be held guiltless of the fail i
re of the prosecution to convict? q

HAWKINS RESOLUTION.

MI. HAWKING resolution in the CHI.
cago convention, pledging delegates
to the support of the nominee,
was so strongly opposed that he with.
drew it. The speeches of Curtis and
others strong Arthur men-are sig
nlflcant. Boiled down to their
essence they mean that if Blaine be
nominated there will be lukewarm>
ness and Indifference, if not an actual
bolt in the party. This assumption
Is borne out by facts. The New
York Times, Herald, Telegram,
Truth. and Harper's Weekly, of
which latter Curtis is editor, ha, e all
committed themselves against Blaine
to such an extent that they cannot
consistently support him should he
be nominated. They have referred
to his connection with South Amei>
an affairs, the Mulligsn letters and
the Credit Mobilier matter In such
terms as to leave no room for doubt
as to how they will act if Blaine
should succeed at Chicago. In their
efforts to defeat has nomination they
have pulled upall the bridges in their
rear, leaving no avenue of escape
from their hostile attitude towards
him.

seemed like different person-so much
good had these young girls smiling
faces done her. No one knows how
keenly old people enjoy little attentions
from the young.
So the days passed, and though some
Lily counted as lost, on many night
her sleep was the sweeter for having
done more than one good deed in help
ing others.
One day it was tedious, garrulous
caller to whom Lily showed such polite
forbearance in listening to the long
story of her complaints and ailments,
controlling her impotence and so per-
severingly turning her visitors thoughts
in more hopeful and cheerful channel,
that when she at last rose to 90 she ex-
claimed: GIVE not enjoyed such a sun
shiny hour for many long day."
On another day Lily, with her moth
er's permission, dived into trunk of
old clothes in a dark corner of the gar
ret, and after an hours mending and
patching produced several warm and
now neat garments to give to a poor
woman whose husbands death had left
her suddenly destitute. Nor must be
forgotten the two pairs of old boots on
which she sewed more than two dozen
buttons for the poor old woman's chill
dren; for next to darning stockings,
Lily most abominated sewing on shoe
buttons.
Another day she went to bookstore
and bought with two weeks spending
money, her favorite Sunday book-Dr
Miller's Weekday Religion" She
sent off the book by mail to an aunt in
a Western home, who was tired out and
dragged down by worrying household
cares. Weeks afterwards her aunt
wrote: " You can't imagine what help
your little book has been to me. When
| feel utterly discouraged look into it
and pluck up courage again. | have
lent it to nearly dozen people, and
they all like ii as much as | do"
Another day Lily collected from her
friends all the old numbers of So. Mich
olds, and other Children's Maya
zines " which she could find. and sent
them off in box by express to a poor
school-teacher down South. who had a
little lame brother and little time or
means to amuse him.
So Lily went on, trying every day to
do something for some one else, and
soon her companions noticed the diff
ference in the thoughtless, jolly girl
now become so thoughtful for others
pleasure instead of her own and more
than ever loved by them all, for she
was not one whit less merry and com
panionable.
BY and by they discovered the old
motto hanging in her room; they each
wanted to copy it, and soon in all
that little band of girls there was not
one who did not feel the blessed truth
of old King Alfred's motto Gas some
one has rhymed iD:
Count that day lost
Whose low descending sun
Views by thy hand
No worthy action done"

Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Since then Mr.. LELAND has recommended
AYERS SARsAPAR1LLA in many similar
cases. and he has never yet heard of its fail
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. LELAND's farm
laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible Itching of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
dschargng great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
RILLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb TO use.
MIR. LELAND has personally used
