really sort of lnsanity-is deeply
regretted by the writer, and such
people would be pleased if the editor
had "turned down" their hasty and
lll-tempered illusions. Even discus
sions of public men and measures do
not lose any weight by the clear pre-
sentation of the facts without heat.
1t is the lightning, not the blunder,
that kills.
THE difficulties that hem about
the British government are prov
ing more and more complicated
every day. The threatening advance
Of the Russians on the Afghan from
tier, movement probably slyly
winked at by Bismarck, who, it is
we'll known, has no good feeling
for the Gladstone regime, seems to
have begun at time when England
has her hands more than full with
the Egyptian problem. Russian
diplomacy has hitherto been not less
successful than her arms in Asiatic
affairs, and, in all probability, if a
move is made upon Afghanistan, the
scientific frontier" Of India, the
former country has already been
heneycombed with the seeds of revolt.
Further developments there will be
awaited with great interest. The
recent hostile utterances of Bismarck
in the Reichstag are also not without
a deep significance. The army in
Egypt will be unable to do anything
during the summer months other
than look after its base of supplies
and prepare for the fall campaign,
which is likely to be greatly protract-
ed. Oppressed by a moral if not an
actual defeat in Parliament, discred-
tied and almost condemned at home,
the Gladstone government is in a
bad way. One of the worst features
ofthe whole business is that England,
dragged into series of petty squad
bles abroad, is diverted from the
contamination of the great reforms
already so auspiciously begun.

The North Carolina Senate on
Monday passed a bill prohibiting, un-
der heavy penalty of fine and impris-
onment, the importation of and sale in
the State of obscene pictures and lit
erature of any kind. The bill had
previously passed the House. Under
the operations of the act several illus
trated papers will be barred out, and
the authorities of several cities have
already taken step IN advance by
forbidding the exposure or sale Of
such papers. This is the first law of
the kind ever passed in this State,
and much opposition to it was devel-
oped in the course of a long and
heated debate.

GIRLS who are in search Of eligible
husbands should turn their attention
toward Dakota. Here are boundless
opportunities men with wide acres
and hearts full of yearning. The like
of it was never seen. Scandinavians
have been sent into the region by
platoons Germans fresh from the
Fatherland and daughters of the
wheat raisers of Southern Russia
have followed. But, unaccountable
as it may seem, there has been no de-
crease in the demand. These nation
alities, to some degree attractive to
the youth of that country, do not
supply the want, 1t is the American
girl with her beauty, vivacity and
common sense that is desired.

Uncle Jcrry-he would hardly forgive n
IL his full name were used, in view Of what
follows-carted leather for many years for
the swamp" people, bis stand being In
Jacob street, a busy little thoroughfare not
much known to those outside the great
center Of the New York letaher trade.
Just as honest a. the day Is long was
Uncle Jerry aud as truthful as need be-;
but as full of fun 'as an egg is of meat.n
His boyish pranks have always stuck 10
him. One Sunday, when hts horses and
carts were cared for and at rest, he took 10
into his head to so into the country and
hear tho birds sing and watch the flowers
grow, for he was born In the country and
his old habits stuck to him. As he started
for home he spied a hornets nest. He
knew what q hornets nest was; he had
fought hornets often enough when O boy,
and he Immediately saw that this nest be-
ionged to the yellow-tipped variety---the
really fierce warriors of the family. The
nest was large and of perfect form, and
hung on . branch within reach.
Uncle Jerry waited until the hornets had
settled down pretty we'll, most Of them
having gone inside through the only pas.
ssgeway, the hole In the bottom. Then he
quietly crept up and with a wad of paper
plugged the hole, cut of the twig which
laid the nest and started with IL for his
home in the lower part Of the city. It b
safe to say that host of the people he met
hadn't an idea as to what he was carrying.
He got down by Trinity Church just as the
evening service was over and the large
congregation was coming out. The old
spirit of fun got hold o. him: lac quietly
unplusged that hornets nest, gave It such
vigorous shake as would have maddened
any set of hornets, dropped it right among
the crowd and innocently walked. Well,
boys, to cut it short, IL is perfectly safe to
bet that few church congregations have
ever dispersed In q creator hurry

ment, and then resumed the chase.
There were four or FIVE hundred buffaioss
In the herd. and they were making for
British America as fast as their legs woeld
carry them. From the hunters it was learned
that the hunt began down In Dakota, onths
Cannon Ball River, where NOT less than
5000 Of the animals were found grasiue.
A few Of the men had followed them the
entire distance. but although the
party, that passed here numbered only

Of che men who started out with the
original party had remained behind q

others, who only joined In for the sport,
had dropped out after satifying them.

which these magnificent animals are
slaughtered is shown by the fact that the
hunters passing through here said they
would have the hides OF the remnant Of

Our principal streets are receiving top
dressing Of rock from the waste dumps to
put them in order for the coming wintor
Very frequently during the summer pieces
Of good ore have been picked out from
among that dumped in the roadway by the
carts, but recently II was evident that q
oew waste dump had been attacked, as
there was an unusual preponderance of ore
in the material It seemed, In fact, to be
nearly all ore. Close examination, how
ever, showed that considerable amount Of
what at the first glance seemed good ore
was very base, yet with this base was
mingled much rich black sulphuret ore.
From lot of this dumped on C street,
n front of Odd Fellows Hall, we took two
samples, which were crushed UP together
and assayed by J. R Ryan, of the Consol-
idated Virginia assay Office, with the fol-
lowing result: Gold, $l64.75; silver, S16s;
total, $352.75.
This is pretty good ''waste rock" with
which to fill in the streets! We induced q
mill-man of Silver City to examine the
rock that was being dumped from the
street carts. At first he thought it all base
but on looking moro carefully ne began K
find Jumps Of genuine black sulphuret ore
and finally said: "This Is better materia
than most of that now being taken out OF
the old upper levels. Il would pay well fol
working"
The assay given above was made actel
this, ami the opinion obtained from ths
millman was founded wholly on what b.
saw before him. It IL said that the rock oi
which we are speaking is obtained at {
waste dump up near the corner Of A and
Carson streets. The rock was probably
brought out OF the old Burning Moscow In
the early days. Miners were not then
good judges of ore. Some portions Of the
vsin having been assayed and found to b
base, It was probably concluded that Al
/ was base. as only practiced eye would
note the difference Of grain. Wherever the
rock may have been mined, 1t is evident
| that it would pay pretty WIN to Gverhau

Hope Mercury: "From the pres. ent indications it is almost safe to say that the convention which meets at Texarkana next Monday will nominate Thos. c. McRae on the first ballot, with MT.

 The Standard of Philadelphia copied the Gazette's figures of h for McRae and 19 for Barker, and seemed to put credence in It. The Was bington Press seemed to think McRae and Barker would go in neck and neck, that it was a complicated contest and that neith CT could get it on second instruc- | tionS.
