SILENT WITNESSES.

Broener came up the next day and gave the
required bail for my appearance. Ipreferred
remaining in the county town to returning
to Bull Bar. There was but q week to wait,
as the county court then convened.
Zone thing troubles me very much," said
to Broener; II can't give my story concerning
this matter without revealing in open court
Se secret of the Banks whereabouts, and
then therell be general rush for the mine
from the whole county"
1--WE thought over that" he replied. "Of
course, you must tell the whole story, and
show in court rich specimens of the quartz to
prove it. That, in fact, will be your strong
est defense. A miners jury will think such
q claim worth defending, with or without
law. Let them swoop down on, our ground.
AS I've told you before, the cream of that
particular vein we've taken out. It's only a
pocket We can hold on to a hundred feet
or so anyway. I've put up notices claiming
such amount. The crowd will, of course,
take up all the quartz outcroppings they can
find far and near Therell be a tremendous
excitement for time. But the masses know
nothing of this sort of mining. 1t will battle
them. They'll lose patience after little.

abandon and give up their claims. The re-
ma.nder will persevere and eventually de-
velop this species Of mining, which will be-
come extensively followed. But that will
take time-years. So tell all about it. Don't
let that trouble you in the least"
My trial came ON, and the case being called
1 appeared without any lawyer to conduct
my defense. The judge assigned one, a young
member of the bar, for that purpose.
said desired to conduct my own defense,
and was allowed so to do. My counsellor was
not at all pleased thereat. Having heard
something of our resources he had seen in
prospective some remuneration if he con-
Quoted the case successfully, as well as pos
sibility of establishing a reputation for q
good criminal lawyer.
I thought could tell my story as well as
have another tell it for me, and I didn't
want lawyer to tell any new stories for me
or put any shades Of color on mine which did
not belong there. Could prove my asser-
tions? No. There were no witnesses to any
hostile meeting between Pratt and myself.
The evidence against ME was all circum-
stantial. In other words, certain events,
as interpreted by certain individuals,
were regarded Us proofs that John

effect of the chemicals necessary to be used
in taking equestrian pictures and that both
Bell, of the Placer and Soper, of. the
Rocker saloons, had fixed the price Tor that
evening in consideration Of the occasion at a

This meant the treating of the crowd by the
deputy, matter we'll known to him in ad-
vance.
As we rode away the photographers had
brought their instrument to bear on the store
of Hebrew clothing dealer, taking the

Half of these men, said the deputy, "have

Some scales had fallen from my eyes. l
saw clearly that if woman loves man, as
] had now good reason for supposing that
Blanche loved me, it is not her place that
she should be always giving evidence of it
without something in return. My inherent
dislike to the namby pamby Interpretation
of love peculiar to Eastport had led me un-
consciously to suppress all external methods
of evincing affection. Something now whis-
pered to me: Be more confident in your

SUPERIORITY OF THE CAUCASIAN
The white races are urged forward by an
irresistible spur over which they have no
control. The increase of the yellow race,
which once must have been incredibly
fast, has stopped, and that of the dark
races, of India, which for centuries has
been amazing, is being checked by recur-
rent famines but that of white people
goes on so fast that the transport of huge
army every year across the Atlantic makes
no impression on their numbers, and at
their present rate of increase there will in
1894 be thousand millions.

THE CHEROKEE INDIANs.-The east
ern band of the Cherokees now numbers
1929, scattered through six States, the
bulk of them in North Carolina, where
they have reservation of $4,000 acres.
There they live for the most part, in COM
mon, tilling the land as they think best.
The mass of the Cherokees are in the In
dian territory, whittier the eastern band
has been invited to settle and share lands
and privileges with them. The latter
will, it is thought, soon 60 thither. They
would not be-so easily duped there by de-
signing whites, nor will they suffer so
much from pneumonia as they do in the
mountainous region of North Carolina.
1t is generally supposed that the aborigi-
nails of this country are fast melting away,
but persons who have made study of the
question assert that there are fully as
many as there were ten years ago. Their
vitality and tenacity of life are certainly
remarkable, considering what they have
to contend against; how generally unfa-
vorable the conditions of our civilization
are to their well-being.

The CoirsnDia bicycle Calendar
far 1887.

The Columbia Bicycle Calendar for
81, just issued by the Pope Maunfac-
turing Co., OF Boston, is in many re
spects a more truly artistic work in
chromo-lithoyraphy and the letter
press than that of 1885, which cal
endar, it will be remembered, was the
most convenient and artistic similar
work of the year. As in the present
calendar, each day of the year APP
pears upon a separate slip with quo
tatlon pertaining to cycling from lead
ing publications and prominent writers
on both sides Of the ocean. The bright
sunshine illumines one side, while the
pale moonlight gives a contrasting
aspect to the other, and together, make
remarkable atmospheric effect,
charmiugly vivid, yet artisticalIy ton
ed and softened. a small portion of
the board is devoted to the picture Of
mounted lady tricycler, speeding
along over pleasant country road.

yenient art, is worthy of place i'll

When we went to press Friday
afternoon of last week we announced
that Mr.. A. G. Bertrand was better
and such was thought to be the case
at that hour, but in the evening he
received another stroke Of paralysis
which caused his death at $50 o'clock
Sunday evening His funeral took
place from the Catholic church Tues
day morning and was largely attended
Mr.. Bertrand was one of our old
citizens, having come to Superior in
1897. He was about 80 years of age
and highly esteemed by all. The

HAND OF HOPE.

AS its name suggests, this is band
of young hopefuls which meets every
week to renew solemn pledge-to
quote the words of their ritual:
Not to buy, sell. drink, OF give
intoNieants while here We live;
From all tobacco 10 refrain,
To never take Gods name in vain.'
The young people have thoroughly
organized society, consisting of Pres
ident, Vice-President, Chaplain, Sec
rotary, Treasurer, Usher, Assistant
Usher, Guard; and each retiring Pres
ident takes his or her seat as ex Presi-
dent. A superintendent instructs
them in the working of the ritual and
also acts as installing officer. In add
dition 10 the special object constantly
kept III view, the Band of Hope serves
as teacher in instructing them in
parliamentary rules, and any visitor
(and III are cordially invited) would
be surprised to see how apt they are,
and thoroughly disciplined. Every
president of the Band-and all officers
are elected every two months by the
Band-so far has been a girl, and who
knows but that some of the young
shoots will one day occupy the White
House when Woman's Suffrage has
been granted, and bring into active
service the experience they gained in
the Superior Band Of Hope. One
cannot help thinking that this argues
well for tbs future But to be more
modest in our ambitions who can tell
whether any Of these bright girls will,
or will not, some day fill the places of
the Frances Wizards the Mrs. Brad
ley's, the Ellice Hopkinses as angels of
mercy and peace, or perhaps sit in the
White HOuse-if not as the President
AS the wife as President, and re-
membering the solemn pledge they
took in our little band, like Mrs
Rutherford b. Hayes prove that they
are not ashamed to show their colors.
Then the boys,-welI we are hope
full Of them, we believe that some of
them will occupy positions of honor,
in county, state and nation, and in
the halls of legislature these boys, =
now naen-will boldly stand up for
truth and right, staunch prohibition
ISIS (third party or otherwise, we do
not care) to do as Nasty we'll express
es it ''pulverize the Rum power"
We do not think that we are too
hopeful, and so we regild our star of
Hope and lift our banner high, and
with hip hip hurrah, we cry God
Bless our Band of Hope"
During the winter months the band
is divided into two branches; one
meets in the school house, Uppertown
every Friday evening with DR.. Nc
Kay as Supt. and the other in the u.
i. Church every Saturday afternoon
a. three O'Clock with the Rey. F. II.
Wright as Supt. The bands are en-
tirely unsectarian, and we extend a
hearty invitation to the parents to
send their children to one Of them.
An entertainment is to be give by
the two bands in the VI. +. Church at
on the 3rd Of january when recita
tionsa, tabIeaus etc will be given by
the children.

1t would be queer mixture, but
suppose the Prohibitionists and Dem
ocrats should unite, simply to beat the
Republicans of this Congressional dis
trict at the coming special election,
what would be the result? Could the
bosses of the two parties command a
sufficient following to carry the day
" Politics make strange bedfellows,
and these questions must be faced
squarely. Both of these parties are
bitter enemies of the great Republican
party, and are ready for anything to
compass its defeat
