More About the Ceur d'Alene Mines.

The CGur d'Alene mines are situated in
of the same name. Besides the overland
travel there will be convey ances by water
from the Post to within a short distance
from the junction Of Eagle and Prtchard
creeks. A company Of experienced steam
boat men has been formed for the purpose
of putting on light draught boat to make
the run. By this means transportation of
goods will be cheapened. There are one
or two towns laid out in the mines. Hayes
City, that boasts of the most houses, rude
as they are, being located near the junction
OF the two streams above mentioned. This
year there may be several pretentious cit
les spring up, one of which is to assume
the Importance Of a metropolis. The news
of the existence Of gold was spread too
late in the fall to draw people from great
distance The travel to and fro has never
ceased, and every man coming out has ex
pressed his determination to return at an
early day. These men spread the excite
ment and the result is there will be tire.
mendous rush for the camp next spring.
1t has been calculated that fully 10000
men will go into the mountains this year.
There are several hundred in the mines
now and the trails have been kept open by
the steady travel back and forth. or course
provisions and every thing else is high in
the mines, though there is little danger of
any great suffering for the necessities Of
life. Freighting is fifteen cents per pound,
and that is not high considering horse feed
and board The charges are 81 for one
man and horse for lodging and feed per
day. Oats are IS cents per pound. Pro-
visions of all kinds command fabulous
prices, and sow belly and beans are con-
sidrred sumPtuous repast. - Boze"as

Spiritual Effects Of Drunkenness.

An editorial in "Topics of the Time" Of
the December Century says: "This loss of
the self-respect, the lowering Of ambition,
and the fading out of hope are the signs of
the progress of this disease in the charac-
ter. 1t is a mournful spectacle-that of the
brave, ingenious, high-spirited man sink
iny steadily down into the degradations OF
inebriety, but how many such spectacles
are visible all over the land! And it is
not in the character of those alone who are
notorious drunkards that such tendencies
appear. They are often distinctly seen in
the lives Of men who are never drunk. Sir
Henry Thompson's testimony is emphatic
to that effect that the habitual use of fer
mcn:ed liquors, to an extent far short OF
what is necessary to produce intoxication,
Injuries the body and diminishes the mental
rowcr.' If, as he testifes, large portion
of the most painful and dangerous mala-
dies Of the body are due to the use of fer
nentcd liquors, taken in the quantity which
is conventionally deemed moderate then
it is certain that such use Of them must re-
suit also in serious in juries to the mental
and moral nature Who does not know
reputable gentleman, physicians, artists,
ciergymen, who were nev>r drunk in their
lives, and never will be, but who reveal, in
conversation and conduct, certain melan-
cholv effects of the drinking habit? The
brain is so often inflamed with alcohol that
its functions are imperfectIy performed;
that there is perceptible loss of mental
power and of moral tone. The drinker is
not conscious of this loss; but those who
know him best are painfully aware that his
perceptions are less keen, his judgment less
sound, his temper less serene, his spiritual
vision less clear, because he tarries every
DAY little too long at the wine. Even
those who refuse to entertain ascetic theo-
rics respecting these beverages may be able
to see that there are uses that stop shcrt
of drunkenness, and that are extremely
hurtlu. to the mind and heart as we'll as
the body. That conventional idea of mod
Grafton, to which Sir Henry Thompson re-
tcrs, is quite elastic; the term is stretched
to cover habits that are steadily robbing
life of its rarest fruits. The drinking hab-
i, is often defended by reputable gentlemen
to whom the very thought Of a debauch
would be shocking, but to whom, if it We're
only lawful, in the tender and just solici-
tudc of friendship, such words as these
might be spoken: 1T is true that you are
not drunkards, and may never be; but if
YOU could only know-what is too evident
to those who love you best-how your
character is slowly losing the firmness Of
its texture and the fineness Of its outline
how your art deteriorates in the delicacy of
its touch; how the atmosphere of your life
seems to grow murky and the sky lowers
gloomily above you, you would rot think
your daily indulgence harmless in its meas
ure. 1t is in just such lives as yours that
drink exhibits some of its most mournful
tragedies

We would suggest to the managers of
the Steam Cotton Compress that they
had better arrange to allow full vent to
the head of water at the artesian well on
their grounds. If they do not the water
will either bnrst the tubing or work
channel for escape alongside the pipe
that Will result in considerable damage.
The best plan for keeping an artesian
well in good order is to prepare for the
free passage of all the water that rises
in the tube. Too great a pressure is
put upon the tubing when the escape
ment OF a well that has a capacity of
so gallons minute, is limited to less
than half that amount.

THREE cars loaded with lumber
came in on the Canton, Aberdeen &
Nashville Railroad, on Friday morn
ing, for Mr.. s. H. Berg, of this city.
The numerous contracts that Mr..
Berg has for new buildings require
more lumber than he can possibly
furnish from his saw and planning
mills, which have a capacity of ten
thousand feet per day of dressed
lumber, and his orders from abroad
are in addition to those from the
several other saw mills in the county.
MIR. Berg has an abundance of
''stocks" and for the past six months
has run his saws until twelve O'Clock
at night, and is yet unable to at all
meet the demands for lumber.

Mr. J. n Cook, of Oktibbeha
county, who is proprietor of one of
the largest saw and planning mill es-
adjustments in the State, has a
novelty in the way of time clock,
which reports every hour that his
night watchnan is on duty. 1t is
similar to the cash register used in
many of our business houses, and if
the watehman is absent from his
post or at all derelict of duty the
clock reports him the next morning,
and, like figures, it never lies. How
would that clock do for picket post
