Colonel Charles DENLY, Of Evans.
vile, Indiana, who was appointed on
May 80, 1885, to succeed John Rus.
sell Young as Minister to China, is by
birth a Virginian, having been born
in Botetourte county of that State,
June 80, 1880. He was educated
partly at Georgetown, d. c., and
while there received three medals for
excell'ng in his studies. He gradua-
ted at the Virginia Military Institute,
and in 1858 removed to Evansville,
where he was employed on the Daily
Enquirer, supporting himself thus
whilst he was studying law in the
Office of Baker & Garvin He was
admitted to the bar in 1855, and in
the following year was sent to the
State Legislature, where he served
with distinction. He was appointed
by James Buchanan Surveyor of the
port of Evansville, and continued in
this Office for three years. Upon the
outbreak of the late war he served as
Lieutenant Colonel of the AID Regi.
ment Indiana Volunteers, and subse-
quen,lv he became Colonel of the 10Th
Regiment. After service of three
years he resigned, having been twice
wounded during his service. Devot-
ing himself to his profession, Colonel
DENLY became ono of the most distin-
guished barristers of his section. He
was frequently pressed to accept the
nomination for Congress, but always
declined. He, in conjunction with
Mr.. kumler, formed the law firm of
DENLY & kumler. In 1858 Mr.. Den.
by was married to Miss Fitch, daugh-
ter of cx.U. S. Senator G. N. Fitch,
of Logansport, Indiana. Col. DENLY,
besides being thoroughly conversant
with the French aud Spanish Ian
guagcs, is we'll versed in Oriental
affairs, and will doubtless make a
most acceptable Minister to that coun-
try. John Russell Young, whom he
succeeded, is we'll known to the pub
lie as the companion to General Grant
during the latt1r's tour of the world,
and as the author of the work describ-
ing the same.

DOWN IN MEXICO.
Skilled Miners Work for 81 Per Day
but Are Overpaid at That-Ihis the
Best Country Yet.

Major Frank P. Cavanah will leave
tomorrow for Atlanta, in company
with Colonel Petit, but will return in
about two weeks, to settle in Haley.
He says that this is still the best coun-
try be knows Of, in mining way, and
that the people OF the East are begin
ming to find it out.
While in Mexico Major Cavanah
had charge of a group of valuable
mines at Villaldama, Nuevo Leon.
Captain Baxter formerly superinten-
dent of the Big Lode, ETC., at Atlanta)
was few miles further. The mines
arc good,b but the miners are execrablc,
and the climate facilitating. The
climate agrees with Captain Ba xter,
but it did not agree very we'll with
Major Cavanah. Hence he concluded
to leave--much to his regret.
They do not mine the way we do
down there. They never drive
straight drift or tunnel, and content
themselves with working in gopher
holes; but no one Of them will work
alone or single-handed. Even if there
is only a shovel-full of ore, two men
must work together in taking it out.
What are called skilled miners get "a
per day, but one of our miners can do
more work than any four of them.
Mr.. Trigley, Of Atlanta, went down
there and took contract from Major
Cavanah, at the same price as the
Major had paid in Atlanta. Mr..
Trigley employed Mcxicans at 81 per
day; but after working while threw
up the contract in disgust, as he lost
money.
Mexico has progressed rapidly since
the building Of railways, and the coun.
try will soon be filed with aggressive,
enterprising American capitalists who
will change things materially.

Jackson and BENTON.

One evening at the White House the con-
versaton dritted to Benton, and Mr.. Lincoln
said that the very room We were sitting in
had been the scene of most characteristic ad-
venture of Benton's with President Jackson.
When Benton came to Missouri he was at
feud with Jackson in fact, he and his brother
and Jackson and several others had difficult
ty at Nashville, in which Jesse Benton was
killed, and which was the cause of Benton
coming to Missouri. They had not met for
years, until Jackson was President and Ben
ton Senator from Missouri ut was in this
roOm," said President Lincoln, that their
first meeting took place, Jackson was seat
ed at this very table when the door yon-
der swung open and Benton stalked in and
stood silently in the middle of the floor
Jackson looked up and recognized him at
once, and recollected at the same time that
he had no weapon to defend himself Equally
silent he got up, walked to the door, locked
it and put the key in his pocket, and went
back to his seat Then he said, docs this
mean war or peaceT'
ut means peace" said Benton
jackson again arose, walked to the door,
unlocked it, came back to his seat, and then
said, Sol Benton, l am pleased to see you
Take chair"
All this time Benton was standing statu-
esquely in the centre of the room, never
moving muscle while jackson was locking
and unlocking the door, and the reconcilia-
ton between the two gentlemen was COM
plete. 1t simply showed the dramatic char
acter of the man.

Fear as an Ally of Disease.

While the plague was raging in Buenos
Ayres the grave diggers bore charmed lives
Ofthe 300 men so employed not one died of
the disease. 1t has often been noticed that
during the prevalence ofpestilential diseases,
physicians, undertakers, nurses and grave
diggers, whose business compelled constant
liability to infection, have usually escaped in
a far greater ratio than their numbers would
warrant. The "charm" of this immunity
from the prevailing scourge is very simple
They are not scored. They are positive to
the disease, and repel its attacks. Fear is a
great ally of death. Whoever is afraid of dis
ease is in negative position, and really in
vites its approach. And thus it is the world
over. The brave die but once, while towards
die many times. Much unnecessary alarm
exists in every community in regard to many
diseases. We are it is true, all liable to sick
ness and death. But if we are all sober,
clearly, and brave OF heart, we need have no
fear of disease, of body or mind

How a Professor Retained an Audience.

An amusing story reaches us from Munich
During the past year the Professor of Esthe-
tics in the University, whose lectures are
proverbally wearisome, delivered his lecture
las usuaD to somewhat anxious audience
There were five students in all, who week by
week melted and grew beautifully less" un.
til at last but one was left. This solitary ndi-
vidual, however, seemed to concentrate in his
own person all the diligence, application and
punctuality of his frivolous fellows. At the
conclusion of the last lecture of the course
the Professor approached him and praised
him for these admirable qualities, and pro.
ceeded to inquire of him. what is your
name, my young friend ?" No answer
What country are you from ?" Absolute
silence The matter was soon elucidated, for
it was discovered that the patient an d
perseverng disciple was poor deaf mute,
who had taken refuge from the seve re cold
of winter in the warm lecture-room of the
institution.

Mr.. z. b. Shillaber, the creator of the ia
nous Mrs. Partington, is cripple from hay
ing suffered thirty years from rheumatism
He is over seventy years of age and lives in

was printer at Dover in that State in 1880

Boston correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune

advised in the European mail of that morn.
ing: Mrs. Darlington says that the price
OF bread may have advanced, but that she
never pays more than fifty cents for half a
dollars worth" This was copied far and
wide in all the newspapers of the country.
Shillaber Lad written it with no idea of the
result and only as a bit of padding to fill out
his column. Its reception surprised aud
pleased him, and thereafter he wrote desulto-
ry sayings of the kind upon the topics of the
day, and presently he kept up running fire
OF them. Mrs. harrington was quoted every
where; the circulation Of the Post increased.
Col. Greene, the proprietor, wrote up from
the country "Who the deuce is Mrs. Par
tington?" but the identity of the good lady
was concealed for some time.
But Shillaher's reputation and labor never
brought him riches. Journalists then as now
worked harder and were paid less than men
in any other professions.
Mr.. Shillaber retired from active journalism
in 1870. His old ogre, rheumatism, was
steadily getting the better of him. But he
has never entirely severed his connection
with the press, and he is now sending weekly
letters to the Hartford Post, over the sigma
ture of THE Old Man with the Cane Shil-
laber's spirits are as buoyant as ever. His
temperament is remarkably cheerful and SAN
guine, and he will not allow himself to think
of his crippled state and burden. Though
imprisoned in his Chelsea home he keeps
thoroughly posted in the affairs of life. Wis
itors from the outer world are always well
coined by him, and the surest passport to his
hospitality is for his caller to be newspaper
man. He prides himself upon being a busy
journalist, and while he is conscious of the
hardships Of the profession he confesses to
its many destinations. More than all, like
Horace Greeley, he prides himself upon being
practical printer.

Once on time an old red hen
Went Strutting round with pompOuS clucl
For she had little babies ten,
A part of which were tiny ducks
Its very rare that hens" said she,
Have baby ducks as well as chicks
But possess, as you can see,
OF chickens four and ducklings SIX
A season later this old hen
Appeared, still cackling of her luck,
For though she boosted babies ten,
Not one among them was q duck
Ills well, she murmured, brooding DER
The lite chicks of fleecy down
my babies now will stay ashore,
And consequently cannot drown"
The following spring the old red hen
Clucked Just as loudly as of yore-
But 10 J her babes were ducklings ten,
Instead of chickens, as before!
Ills BETTER" said the old red hen,
As she surveyed her waddling brood;
"A little water now and then
Will surely do my darlings good!
But oh alas, how very sad
When gentle spring rolled round again
The eggs eventuated bad,
And childless was the old red hen.
Yet patiently she bore her woe,
And still she wore a cheerful air,
And said Ills best these things are so,
For babies are dreadful carc!"
| half suspect that many mon,
And many women, too,
Could learn lesson from the hen
With foliage of VermilliOn hue;
She ne'er presumed to take offense
At any fate that might befall,
But meekly bowed to Providence
She was contented-that was all!
