Developing Vein of Ore In Dubois County
That Promises to Pan Ont Wen.
EVANSVILLE, IND, Dec. l9.-Citizens
in Dubois county, this district, are
greatly excited over the development of a
rich silver mine near Buck Shoals on the
East Fork OF White river. The discovery
OF the existence OF silver dates back to the
beginning Of the present century, when,
as the legend goes, man named James
vim, who was locating farm near
Hayesville, discovered silver ore In rich
quantities. He went East to interest
spectators in the venture, but they
fought shy OF Gwinn, AMI refused to assist
him. Not little disheartened, he came
back To his "flud," but was taken III with
a malignant fever, aud died two GAYS
after his return, Years rolled on, and
though the legend was a cherished heir
loom OF the county, no one cared TO inves-
tigate the story until two years ago, when
Mr. John Seitz became interested in the
matter and b, gan prospecting fnr the ore
at Buck Shoals He discovered ore in
large quantities, and had many specimens
analyzedi all yielding more or less silver
Two weeks ago he sent specimens TO
Indianapolis TO be assayed. The result
showing silver In large quantities, he at
once leased the land about his own little
property, and is now preparing carload
OF the ore TO send 70 ST. Louis TO be
smelted.
Bnck Shoals is situated In a hilly, rocky
region, and the vein is said to be very
easy Of access.

rev M. q. Lockwood Gives His Views on
That Snbjsct In His Sunday Lecture,
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Rev. M. G. Lockwood had large audi
ence at the First Baptist church last night
to hear his lecture on divorce. His text
was from Matthew ", so, and he pro-
ceeded to draw conclusions from the
teachings of Jesus on the subject. He
SAID divorce was social Instrumentation
IL lnvades the home, dishonors parentage,
shames Childhood and arrests the only
pure fountain oflife. The sturdipst advo-
Gates OF liberal divorce laws he declared
are the l,udest mouthed advocates OF
skepticism and vice. DR., Lockwood pro-
nounced the present system Of divorce in
this country, and notably New England
aud Illinois, as barbarous aud degrading
lie said the poiygamy Of Utah is not a
gfeater disgrace than that of many states
OF the Union. The difference is that in
U an polvgamy is simultaneous, here IL is
consecutive. We have what thew have
not, polyandry, the marriage of one
woman with plurality of husbands.
Inc lecturer would allow divorce only for
auHl'ery. In his opinion the only two
states where the divorce laws are right
sre New York and South Carolina, in The
latter state marriage relation can onry be
severed by death. In closing DIR. Lock
wood drew painful picture Of the effect
divorces are having In undermining opr
civilization.

pies that they 80 ardently cherished. But II
is not our purpose at present TO determine
what method OF reform would secure the
greatest amount OF good TO the whole
country We know that climate, the
character OF soil and the interests Of so
ciety OF one section or state might and do
require some notifications in labor that
other sections and other states do not
need
Hence, II is the duty Of every people
to study the nature OF their necessities
and 10 adopt that system that will Sc
cure for them the highest degrees OF
prosperity and happiness.
II we would C ase our wranglinGs about
foreign emigration and our pinings over
the "uncertainty'' and "unreliablity OF
labor" and go to work ourselves, using,
without abusing whatever means the
god OF nature has placed at orr disposal,
we would soon become far more pros.
porous and happy people.
The Southern people would do well to
learn lesson from some of the Northern
states and cities In regard to imported
labor. A large per cent. OF this importa-
tlon lands In this country, impregnated
wi h false ideas of "personal lib, rty" and
brings with It theories of government
wholly foreign and antagonistic to the
principles OF our free institutions. IL is
this class of emigrants that is so rapidly
developing into anarchists aud commun-
lists In Chicago ana other Northern cities.
II the farmers Of our country would
realize the benefits TO be derived from the
practical application of those principles
enunciated by the alliance, and would or
ganize with those principles as a basis,
they would promote their own happiness
and prosperity, and would contribute
largely to the happiness aud prosperity OF
all classes of society.
But before our state attains to that
degree OF emineuce which the character
of our climate and soil warrants, our
farmers must change their mode Of farm
ing. They must quit the almost exclusive
cultivation OF cotton, and put more of
their lands in grasses and grains. In
this way they can dispense with one-half
OF the labor they now require, and pre-
serve their lands, rich In soil, aud 10 a
high state OF cultivation, an invaluable
legacy for their offspring.
Then let our Farmers alliance realize
the fact that capital and labor go hand in
hand, ard that farming, like every other
honorable occupa ion, requires not only
the attention, hut the active cooperation
of the farmer himself. When the "dec-
laration Of principles" as set forth by
the Farmers alliance, becomes the cardi-
nal doctrine of the tlllers OF the soil, and
these principles become the handspring
Of all their actions, then and not till then,
will the farmers control the political as
well as the financial interests of our

Blaine will be the Republican candl-
date for the presidency in 1883. Col.
Dudley Of Indiana would make an excel
lent candidate for the vice.presidency.
Gen. Logan would do well for secretary
OF war; Sherman ought to be the secre-
tary of the treasury, and Conkling, If he
can forget and forgive, should be secre-
tary OF state. Such combina ion would
sweep the country ike wild.Are. Indiana,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Alabama are
rapidly becoming interested in a protect
I've tariff. Blaine represents the protec-
tion Idea better than any other American,
and protection is likely to become the
leading idea In the politics of the future.
The Knights Of Labor could enter into
such combination, and in their interest
another department, that of labor, should
be created and rs chief should be raised
