A Sensible Young Lady.

So-called ''high-toned society" in
Cincinnati is greatly agitated because
of the elopement of a millionaire heir
ress Of that city to respectable
farmer from the interior of the State
There is no occasion for this. The
sentiment Of society should be such
that an heiress could openly marry
any respectable farmer without re-
proach, and should be regarded to
her credit rather than otherwise il
she chose to do so. If more young
heiresses and so-called fashionable
young ladies' of city society would
marry respectable young farmers OF
industrious mechanics it would be
better for all concerned.

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger Of impair
ment of the mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings of evil, desire for solitude,
stunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, PERuNA and
MANALIN should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never we'll to wait SO long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
of the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu-
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion
or in Others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying COM
paratively good health. In all these Pc
RUNA and MANALIN should at once be
taken.
Mrs. S. Smith, Hillsville, Lawrence

There is more talk of the sGrst

correspondents than comports with

smacks of a division of social circles
more than that which intelligence

All through the South attention is
beingcalledi to the value of small inr
dustries. This is just what is needed
everywhere: There is no village in

there could be some. kind of industry

with their low rates, cheap wages,
and moderate expenses that pay the
Best returns on the capital and labor

one exception, is the greatest manu-
featuring city on the continent, and
employs over quarter of a million
mechanics, has not cotton mill, roll

Esaits, but is almost exclusively q
city of small industries. But while
we build up the small things do not
let us fail to encourage the larger
ones.

Gen. John A. Logan may be poor
grammarian and an unprincipled pol
itician, but he shows some good sense
in certain directions. Notwithstand-
ing his extreme partisanship, he is
bold in denouncing Republicans OF
the cry-baby order who are begging
to be retained in Office by the present
administration, and expresses the
hope that every one of them will be
turned out.

The Milford Pa-) Dispatch takes
an exceedingly sound and practical
Democratic view of the situation in
regard to the Offices when it says
that under Democratic administra-
ton the direction of the affairs of the
government should be entirely in the
hands of Democrats, and the fact that
an office-holder is an enemy of the
Democratic party should be sufd-
cient cause of removal.
This solution of a difficulty that. is
giving great deal of trouble to
many politicians is commended by its
directness and simplicity. What
could be more naturally appropriate
than that Democrats should fill the
Offices which majority of the peo-
pie at the election said should belong
to the Democrats? What could be
more unnatural than that Republicans
should hold the Democratic offices :?
The cuckoo occupying the nest of
the robin could not be considered as
being more out Of the order of nature
The Dispatch suggests a formula
to be used in determining who at this
juncture should possess the offices
that is exceedingly neat and direct
and which would be followed by en-
tirely satisfactory results. No afida
Wits or formal charges should be re-
quired: "Is he Republican ?"-
eyes" "That's enough; off with
his head!"
Could there be anything adopted
that would more unerringly get at
the merits of the question? Could
there, be any other method so efec-
tive IN dealing with the offensiveness
that belongs to the case of every Re
publican ofice-holder who tries to
sneak through a Democratic admins
tration under the cover of civil SER
vice reform?' What interrogatory
put 10 an applicant in competitive
examination could go so directly to
the point as, the question, 'Is he
Republican," And there is some
thing in "Off with his head" that has
about it the ring off business-the
tone as it were, of a just judge pass
ing righteous sentence upon old and
hardened offenders.
Much advice has been given as to
the best manner of managing the
question of the offices, but no plan
SO far offered can be so practical in
it's operation and so effective in turn
ing the rascals out as the one sug-
gested by the Milford Dispatch.

Thenewspapers and the politicians
may formulate as many theories on

Brennan Banner: Public SYM
pathy with criminals is the author of

THE TELEPHONE.

Speaking of the immense strides
which have recently taken place in
telephone communication the Oma-
ha Herald says: The succss IS att, n |
ing the experiment of conversing by
telephone q thousand miles away,
from New York to Chicago opens up
an interesting field of speculation in
the future of this marvellous trans
mitter of sound. It Is confidently
claimed that the time Ia not far dis
tant when people a converse as
easily by cable as by wire from one
house to another. When the time
arrives the public will be relieved of
many of the eccentriolties of cable
messages, as they are at present re-
ceived, and will hail a more reliable
and intelligent means Of commuica-
ton. The experiment will shortly hs
tried on the commercial cables. The
most ingenious use of the telephone
recorded Is by the keeper of a kouba
or shrine at Kauwan, the holy city
in TuDia. He has introduced q tele-
phone In the shrine, ana when the
Arabs come to put questions to the
saint, he gives appropriate replies BY
wire from his room. He expects soon
to acquire q reputation among the
awe stricken visitors, that will leave
all other Musselmen saints in the
shade. A political shrine in this
country, similarly operated by tele-
phone, would be a great comfort to
certain lnquisitive inquircrs.

WALL STREET GAMBLERS.

The gamblers OF Wall street are
betting that gold will be at a premium
before the year is ended. In the
meantime the New York and Boston
banks are pi1ing up gold. In the lat
ter city the banks have $50, 000, GOO in
gold in excess of their legal require
ements, and for the first time ia the
history of the New York banks thty y
have $l0O, 900, 900 in gold stole1 away
in their vaults. If the wagers ar.
Won they will undoubtedly be won
by the aid of Mr., McCulloch, Secre-
tary of the Treasury. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that he is directed by law
to pay out silver either in coin or cer-
tificates, at the Sub-Tfsasury in New
York for all demands against the
Government and notwithstand-
ing the fact that thereis a special law
forbidding National banks from be-
coming members of Clearing houset
associations which will not accept
silver, MI. McCulloch has, within
the past few days. assured the New
York brokers and bankers that
balances would be settled in gold
and legal tenders as heretofore"
meaning that he will not carry out
the law which directs him to pay GU
silver.
The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-02-21

Concerning MI. Cleveland's opin-
ion in regard to the present silver
coinage act nothing is known. Some
news item gatherer has given out
that the Presldent-elect Is in favor of
silver dollars, and the report has
been published and republished by
organs of gold bugs for purposes
which all understand. There is moth
ing In it. The wish is father to the
rumor. MI. Cleveland was elected
upon a platform which favored the
continued coinage of silver; and he is
not the man to ignore the expressed
wish of bis party In the matter. We
are aware there are a few a Demo-
Gratis who are ready to act with the
Republicans IN driving silver out of
circulation, but the President-elect
is not one of them. He may possibly
give his opinion respecting silver in
few days. Until then no one has
authority to speak for him.
