a Mining Camp in 10.

The mines put all men for once upon
a level. Clothes, money, manners,
family connections, letters of introduce
ton. never counted for so little. The
whole community was given substan-
italy an even start in the race. Gold
was so abundant, and its sources seemed
for a time so in~exhaustible, that the az
grandizing power of wealth was mo-
mentarily annihilated. Social and
financial inequalities between man and
man were together swept out of sight.
Each stranger was welcomed and told
to take a pan and pick and 60 to work
for himself. The richest miner in the
camp was seldom able to hire a servant;
those who had been glad to serve
others were digging in their own
claims. The veriest greenhorn was as
likely to uncover the richest mine in
the gulch as was the wisest of ex-pro-
fessors of geology; and, on the other
hand, the best claim on the river might
suddenly "give OUT and never again
yield a dollar. The poorest man in the
camp could have a handful of gold dust
for the asking from a more successful
neighbor, to give him another start and
help him ''hunt for better luck" No
one was ever allowed to suffer; the
treasure vaults of Sierra were too near
and seemingly too exhaustless. 80 q
little camp of 1S49'-so an old miner
writes e. lad of Is came one day,
f~ootsore, weary, hungry, and penniless.
There were thirty robust and cheerful
miners at work in the ravine, and the
lad sat on the bank watching them a
while in silence, his face telling the sad
story of his fortunes. At last n stall
wart miner spoke to his fellows. say
ing: Boys, I'll work tor an hour for
that chap, if you will" At the end of
the hour one hundred dollars worth
of gold dust was laid in the youths
handkerchief. The miners made out a
list of tools and necessaries. You CO.
they said, and buy these and come
back. Well have a good claim staked
out for you. Then you've got to pad
die for yourself" Thus genuine and
unconventional was the hospitality of
the miners camp.-Mining Camp.

Peers That are PensiOned.

It is stated that relatives of peers have
received $500, OOO, 900 of public money
siuce 1855. Each Duke also has at
present ffty-six relatives in public Office.
The 402 hereditary peers own an average
of 5000 acres each and draw a total
annual rental of 500, OOO, 900. The Duke
of Richmond has made a specially good
thing out of his ancestors. A perpetual
pension of eI9,0O 0 was granted to one
of the dukes. To commute this consols
worth f633,00O were purchased when
consols were below par and the bonds
were put aside for the Duke. These
consols rose above par, were sold, and
the proceeds invested in land, which
now gives the duke ESQ., 900 year in
place of G19, 900 year to which he is
entitled. To reform the present House of
Peers there are some persons who advo-
cate the Chinese hereditary system, by
which a dukes son would be marquis,
the grandson an earl, and so on until
the family either entirely lost its title
or was re-enobled for fresh services to
the State.

The Boycott in Slavery Times.

The London NeWs in an article or the
boycott idea insists that the principle or
the system was born in America and not
in Great Britain. Ireland gave a name
merely, the NeWs contends, to a prac-
tice that was originated in slavery times
in the United States. This is in an
swer to the charge made by papers in
this country that the idea is un-Ameri-
can and is of foreign importation.
The News calls attention to practices
in vogue in the United States before
the war when one section attempted to
boycott the other, when State at
tempted to boycott a section, and when
communities went to extremes in put
ting in force the boycott system against
school teachers and preachers, and
other people from the North who went
TO the South. The NeWs insists that the
Objectionable features of the system were
more prominent in those days and in
this country than they ever were in
Great Britain.
This may be true, but the NeUs is re-
minded that when the American people
had their attention called to this vio-
lation of the fundamental principles of
the Constitution they were at some
pains to correct the evil. What is now
known as the boycott system has never
succeeded for any great length of time.
Wherever and whenever 1t has been
employed public sentiment and
thing more violent in the shape of pub
lie prejudice has grown up against those
who practice it. This has been the
uniform rule, and the Trades Assembly
was wise to pronounce against the in
discriminate use of what has been so
much abused.
The truth is that the boycott has been
quite as often employed by corporations
and associations against the laborer as
it has by the laborer against corpora
tions. 1t may be said that the labor
associations are justified in fighting
fire with fire, but Is corporations that
resorted to the boycott have lost public
sympathy and have as a rule been driv-
en- to the wall, is it not probable that
labor associations, following the bad
example of those who have been I'M
merciful, may excite a public prejudice
against themselves. We suggested
some weeks ago that a test case be
made on which the statutes of the sew
eral States and the National statutes
bearing on this question might be re-
viewed and receive authoritative inter-
probation in their application to the cir
cumstances now before the public.
This ought to be done in the interest of
all parties, and without any irritation
and without anything savoring of re-
sentiment or bitterness Chicago Inter

Editine With the Scissors.

The above remark is frequently made
in connection with newspapers, and is
too frequently meant rs a slur. On the
contrary, under proper circumstances,
it should be regarded as q compliment
of Il high character. The same paper
may be ably edited with the pen and
miserably edited with the scissors. A
mistaken idea prevails that the work of
the latter is mere child's play, q sort of
hit or miss venture. requiring hardly
any brains and still less judgement;
that the prOmiscuOus and vOluminous
clippings are sent in q batch to the
foreman, and with that the editors
duty ends and that of the foreman
begins.
Instead of this. the work requires
much care and attention, with q keen
comprehension of the fact that each
days paper has its own needs. The
exchange editor is a pains-taking, con-
scientiOus, methodical man, ALWAYS Oh
the alert, quick in appreciation, reten-
tive in memory, shrewd in discernment.
He reads closely, culls carefully. omits
and amends, discards and digests, new
er ignoring the fact that variety is q
great essential. There are sentences to
recast, words to soften, redundancies to
prune, errors to correct, headings to be
made. credits to be given, seasons to be
considered, affinities to be preserved,
consIstencies to be respected. He knows
whether the matter is fresh or stale,
whether it is appropriate, and whether
he has used it before; he remembers
that he is catering for many tastes; he
makes raids in every direction; he LAYS
the whole newspaper field under CON
tribution; ne persistently ''boils down."
which with him, is not a process of re-
writing, but a happy faculty of expung-
ing, without destroying sense or con-
tinuity.
His genius is exhibited in the depart
meGts, the items of which are similar
and cohesive-in the suggestive heads
and sub-heads, in the sparkle that is
visible, in the sense of qualification
which the reader derives. No daily
paper can be exclusively original; it
would die of ponderosity. Life is too
short and hence an embargo must be
laid upon the genius of its rivals. A
bright clipped article is infinitely better
than a stupid contributed article. The
most successful paper is the paper that
is intelligently and consistently edited
in all its departments, whether by pen
or scissors.-PhiIadeLphia call.

~STODDARD'S MULE.
A Nevada Story of How 1t Broke
Ferryman DaGgett's business.

Ferryman Daggett's business.
Many years ago down in Idaho, dur
ing a gold excitement, a good many men
went into the country to make money
outside the ~gold-hunting industry.
Their idea was to make the other fell
lows delve for the gold while they APP
propriated it afterward. Rollin Dag
gett, afterward Nevada's Congressman,
established a ferryboat On Il small cGY,.
and named the place Deaths ForS.'
at the same time inventing a musty
legend to the effect that it was thus
named because so many lives had been
lost in the attempt to cross it. The
stream was not over n dozen yards
wide, and the water nowhere over two
feet deep; but he rugged up u tlatboat,
and pulled ii back and forth by u rope
co~ntriVance. Whenever the prospect
ors crossed he RECALLED them with hor-
rible tales of the treachery of the
stream, and the remorseless quicksands
which had drawn so many men and
mules to terrible deaths.
In the night when he ferried people
over he would caution them not to get
too near the edge of the boat. as a fall
overheard was certain death. By let
ting the dim old lantern 90 out and
making slow time he frequently inn
pressed the passengers with the idea
that the stream was half q mile wide.
For night trips he charged s., but ii
the wind was high and the weather bad

much larger sums. In the daytime 81

promoter, appeared on the bank with a
mule and boarded the fiatbOat to cross.
In the midst of the stream, just when

and fell overheard. One leg caught on

THAT WIFE OF MINE.

She met me at the door last night,
All dainty, fresh and smiling,
And threw her plump arms round me tight
In manner most beguiling.
Then, in her sweet, impulsive way,
She Rugged me as she kissed me,
AND told me how the liye-long day
She thought of me and missed me.
She helped me off with coat and hat,
And led me, still close-clinging,
Into the dining room, and sat
Down at the table singing.
The meal was perfect; fresh-cut flow'rs,
The freight warm and ROSY,
Made all seem bright; swift flew the bours,
And we were, oh! SO cozy!
Then, after dinner, she and /
Sang the old songs together
We used to sing in days gone by
Ny heart was like a feather!
Our happiness made earth a heaven,
And now, as l review it,
/ r~ecollect twas past eleven
Almost before we knew it.
We sat there on the sofa then,
She nesting close beside me.
Softly she smoothed my hair, and when
| kissed her did not chide me.
She fondly pinched my cheek, and so,
Her dimpled land upon it,
She whispered: Darling do YOU know
L need a new spring bonnet!'
