BLAINE AND LOGAN.

James Gillespie Blaine, the Re-
publican candidate for President of
the United States, was born in
Washington County, Pennsylvania,
in 1880, and was graduated from
Washington College at the age of
II. After graduating he taught
school for a time in Pennsylvania
and Kentucky, wrote for the press
and studied law but never practiced.
In 1853 Mr.. Blaine went to Maine
where he edited the Portland Id
veytiSer and Kennebec Journal.
From 1858 to 1862 he was men,
Der Of the State Legislature, serv-
ing for two years as Speaker Of the
House. Almost from the day that
he assumed charge of the kennc-
bee Journal he had great influence
in the politics and policy of Maine.
At % years Of age he was a lead
ing power in the councils Of the
Republican party, and before he
was 20 he was chosen chairman Of
the State Executive Committee, a
position which he has held ever
since.
In 1862 Mr.. Blaine was elected
to Congress and was reelected,
from term to term, until 1876 when
he was appointed Senator to fill
vacancy. Mr.. Blaine always COM
manded the attention of the House,
and for three years was the speaker.
It has been said that no man since
Clay's time presided with so abso-
lutte a knowledge of the rules Of
the House. In the Senate he took
prominent part in debate, and was
recognized as a leader, but his
career there was cut short by his
appointment as Secretary Of State,
under President 6 arfeld.
AS Secretary Of State Mr.. Blaine
was vigorous and bold, but far from
discreet. There is no knowing what
trouble would have ensued had he
remained in Office. Thoughtful
men breathed more freely when his
resignation was accepted by Presi-
dent Arthur and he was succeeded
by Mr.. Frelinghuysen, who treats
the country to no surprises and has
no taste for political pyrotechics.
Mr.. Blaine is warm-hearted,
generous man, with pleasant man
ners, and the happy faculty Of MAX
ing friends wherever he goes. His
followers are brimful Of enthusiasm
and have implicit confidence in
their leader.
LOGAN.
Gen. John A. Logan was born in
Jackson County, Illinois, in 1926,
his father being an Irish immigrant
and his mother q Tennesseean. He
received only a limited education
and volunteered rs private in the
Mexican war and was promoted to
lieutenant. On his return he studied
law, was admitted TO the Bar and
entered politics. He served in the
Illinois Legislature and afterwards
in Congress as 4 Douglas Democrat.
In July, 1861, he left his seat in
Congress and joined the ranks of
regiment from his native State, and
so happened to be one Of the heroes
who retreated precipitately from
the disastrous field of Bull Run.
He then went home, organized a
regiment OF his own, and fought
through the remainder Of the war
with considerable distinction, CON-
ing out of it as General Logan.
After the war he again entered
Congress and in 1871 was elected
United States Senator, which posi-
ton he has since held. being chiefly
heard Of in the Fitz-John Porter
debates, his hostility to that officer
amounting apparently to monoma-
MIA.

His Hair Oil.

A youngster on Cass avenue hac noticed tall, black bottle on his fathers dressing table and asked what 1t held.
 "That, my SOD, is hair oiI," answer ed his father, with a furtive and wandering look, ''and it is not at all nice for little boys"
 The youthful questioner took a smell of the contents and asked no more information upon the subject. He kept up a good bit of thinking, however. Last Sunday the family entertained some friends at dinner, and there was plum pudding with brandy sauce. The small boy had found his opportunity. When he was helped to the pudding he sized 1t up with large eyes.
 "Pa," he said in loud sbrill tone, as he snlffed the sauce afar off, "the hair Gil on this puddin' smells awful good "-Detroit Free Press.

day upon which she receives an en- gagement ring. She holds up her hand and looks at the ring from all points and admires 1t, and assures Adolphus that he is just too awfully nice for anything for giving 1t to her. And she always wears 1t that day, no matter what happens. If tho ring Is too large for her she will Tam Aits of wood under it, just as the boy puts branches of trees and other things under his skate straps to keep his skates on. And after she gets It fixed to suit her, she starts out to call on her friends. They all know before she arrives that she has re- ceived ring, and arc now on the qui vive. They either tell her it is very pretty, or else they pretend not to notice it at all, in either of which cases the recipient of tue ring IS de lighted beyond description. Because if they com pliment her sae thinks that they are affecting an lndiffer- ence to her good luck that they do not feel. and that they would tear her to pieces after her departure. And if they don't say word or no tice the ring the young lady knows that they are wild with envy, and would give their ears to be in her place, and she is glad to think that she has destroyed their happiness. And she calls on every one she knows, and removes her gloves at every house, even If she remains within but two minutes.

benefciation of ore should have some regular basis to work on. In Leadville, where there are many smelling works, they have concl&deo that the methods of assaying anC settling for ores so locg in vogue are unsatisfactory, and eight of the principal smelting works have agreed to enforce certain rules, which will be of interest to all miners, as show. ing the practice in the largest dis trict in the country. These rules are worthy of preservation by miners having ores to sell, as 1t will show what the custom is elsewhere, in 8 place where they have had great ex- perience.
 First. Assays shall be made by standard scorifcation.
 Second. Moisture shall be deter mined by the assayers of the smelters and no splits shall be recognized,
 Third. In silver assays contents shall be noted only in full and one half ounces; that is, every fraction under one half ounce shall be left of, and every fraction over one half ounce shall also be omitted.
 Fourth. Gold ores shall be noted in penny-weights only, no payments to be made for less than one tenth of an ounce contents per ton.
 Fifth. In lead assays, fractions of of units shall not be noted, and no payment shall be made for less than five per cent contents per ton.
 Sixth. The splitting of assays shall be discountenanced, and settle ment made on smelters' assays, of within one ounce of silver, one-twen- tieth ounce of gold, and one per cent of lead of control assays. If differ ence of more than one ounce silver, one-twentieth ounce of gold or one per cent of lead exists, the umpire shall be assayed.
 Seventh. No person shall be all lowed to serve as umpire unless in the employ of the smelting works, subscribing to these rules, or in the employ of the mine.
 > EisAth. In case it is necessary to employ an umpire assayer, the mine owner or manager shall have the privilege of selecting ar assaver from among the smelter assayers. the mine owner or manager prefer to have ifis ore assayed by a mine sssayer, then the smelter shall have the privilege of making the & $.

Lead Smelling F uel.

The fuel used for lead on this coast is either charcoal or coke o1 both mixed. In many places at tempts at smelting with charcoal alone have failed. Most of the oak out here Is poor, and hard charcoal from mahogany, cedar, etc., is also to be rejected for use on a blast fur mace because it decrepitates into small particles, which have the same effect as coal slack or waste Tn chll- ling the slag through reduction of the temperature. Nut pine (pinon) makes the best charcoal, and this was formerly the principal fuel of Eureka. Charcoal from lighter woods such as yellow and white pine, O. H. Hahn tells us in his article on the subject of ''Iead," in late gov ernment report, cannot be used alone without reducing the temperature ot tho furnace. The same authority says the best coke or the English patent coke is shipped annually from Cardiff to this port. It is porous and light and leaves a very small percent age of ash.
 Owing to the different Instability of differeat ores, the percentage amount of fuel must be referred to tons of charge in comparing the consump- tion of various localities. This brings out the remarkable fact that smelling at high altitude requires more fuel than at a lower one. In Leadville, for instance, the consump- tion of mixed fuel amounts to from twenty-two to twenty-four per cent of the weight of the smelling mix ture, which, in Salt Lake City, amounts to fourteen to seventeen per cent, the lower figure correspond ing to the summer, and the higher to the winter season, when the ores absorb more moisture than in sum mer.
 Where charcoal alone is used, it is said the percentage of fuel is some what higher, probably between twep ty-six and twenty-elght per cent. It is always advisable, in the iHEerest of regularity of furnace operations, to weigh not only the ore and Aux, but also the fuel, as accurately as possible.-Mining and Scientific Press. ~

 The star only makes its appear ance every 316 years. It will appear and illuminate the heavens. and ex- ceed in brilliancy even Jupiter when in opposition to the sun, and there fore nearest to the sun and brightest.
 The marvellous brilliancy of the 'Stal of Bethlehem in 1887 will sur pass any of its previous visitations.
 It will be seen even by monday, shining with a quick, flashing light the entire year, after which 1t will gradually decrease in brightness and finally disappear, not to return to our heavens until 2202, or 315 years after 1887. The star first attracted the attention of modern astronom- CTS in the year 1875. It was then called a new star. It was no new star, however, for th1s was the star which shone so brightly 4 B.

St. Louis merchants have shown unusual energy in taking advantage of the opening of Mexico to Ameri- can trade, and the result is that the Missouri metropolis has secured a valuable trade, large part of which belongs by right to this city. The chief draw back to any fair competi tion between San Francisco mer chants and thelr Eastern rivals has always been the railroad. The Ter ritorial trade-which, owing to the rich mineral discoveries in Arizona and the equally rich grazlng resour- ces of New Mexico, sprang in a sin gle year to large proportions-could have been seized by our merchants without struggle had the Southern Pacific done anything to help them. But it's policy from the first has been to levy so heavy tax on all goods transported as to be a virtual prohi bition to trade, while the policy of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa F'e has been to aid in every way the plans of the Eastern merchants. The result shows the wisdom of the lat ter course and the short-sighted policy of our selfish railroad mono polists.-Chronicle.

A Newspapers Functions.

If the newspaper occupies place among the public instructors of the time, then the public has a right to look to 1t as in some sense its mouth piece, to utter such words as the public good demands. If there are measures of public concern that need an advocate or a censor, the people have just claim upon the public journal to serve them as such advocate or censor.
 If there are grave errors that af- feet the pubic veal, such a journal IS rightfully expected to sound the alarm and voice the public indigna- tion. If public servants are known to be remiss in their duties or ex- posed to censure for irregularities or corruption in office, the newspaper that dares not speak for the public, without fear or favor, is properly considered unfaithful to the trust that it has assumed,
 The duty is not pleasant one for the journalist to discharge, but he should not try to escape 1t even If he brings denunciation upon his head from these servants whom the peo- pie would call to account and from those who would shield them from criticism.

 "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?" asked the Clerk, in that solemn manner which pertains to Court clerks.
 "We sm, sir," responded an old gray headed negro who had been made foreman of the jury.
 "What is the verdict?" asked the Clerk.
