proprietor of this well-known and enter
prising publishing house offers a splendid
statuette of Bartholdi's Liberty" free of
charge, to every subscriber to the Illustrated
Newspaper or the Popular Monthly or for
two subscriptions to the Sunday Magazine.
Each of these publications have hosts Of
old readers and friends in all parts Of the
country, who do not need to be told that
they are among the very best issued The
statuette is an exact fac smile of the colossal
figure in New York harbor, of the same
material, and is an exceedingly pretty and
effective parlor or mantel ornament-"not
for q day, but for all time" Mrs. Leslie,
with her usual enterprise, has secured abso-
Lutte control for premium purposes. of the
statuette, and it will be offered by no other
publisher. The Frank Leslie Publications
are all of a high order Of excellence, and en-
joy well-deserved popularity.
The prospectus of the Home Magazine states
that with the year 1887 the thirty fifth year
of publication is begun, and we can well be-
lieye that such a long life has been q
useful one, if we may judge by the
sample of the January issue now at
hand. Outside and inside the magazine is an
attractive one, and the well-established repu-
tation of the Home as a safe literary friend for
every household, and the low cost of the
magazine, we rather think that its subscribers
get about as much for their money as they
could ask, The stories, illustrations, special
articles in its departments are all good, and
We think of greater than usual interest.

A Probable Fiasco.-With great regret

a Probable Fiasco.-With great regret
the following paragraph is clipped from a
reliable Philadelphia letter, dated Dec, 20:
There is growing belief that no pool can
be formed in the bituminous coal trade, and
there is a suspicion abroad that the main
purpose of recent conferences on the subject
was to give the larger operators little more
time to close heavy contracts for next year
1t was recently discovered that the contract
for supplying the Boston and Lowell road
with coal had been made for two years in
stead Of one. With the cream of the CON
tracts already SKINNED off there is little rca.
son for pool, and neither the little nor the
big operators can be expected to show much
further interest in the matter.
This means, therefore, that the war for
selling at the lowest prices is TO go on among
the producers instead of bUyng at the lowest
among the consumers. 1t is Il fine thing for
the latter when the producers take their
greatest embarrassment out of the way and
place it permanently where they 0hc pro
ducers) can stumble and fall over it them
selves.
Late adviccs show up better for the pool
1t may yet be established.

A hum of applause and amusement at the

The jury were out but very short time.
Many in the audience did not wait for the
verdict. They went out intent on visiting
Bull Bar and gaining share in its riches.
The judge, poor man, squirnned uneasily in
his seat, gazing at the tantalizing humps OF
quartz and gold before him, and wishing
that he was free to head the rush which was
developing for Bull Bar. Already could we
hear the sound of galloping hoofs as horse

SILENT WITNESSES.

Broener came up the next day and gave the
required bail for my appearance. preferred
remaining in the county town TO returning
to Bull Bar. There was but week to wait,
as the county court then convened.
Gone thing troubles me very much" l said
to Broener; II can't give my story concerning
this matter without revealing in open court
the secret of the Banks whereabouts, and
then there'll 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 viii think such
a 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
pocket We can hold on to 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 There'll be a tremendous
excitement for a time. But the masses know
nothing OF this sort of mining. 1t will battle
them. They'll lose patience after n little
There will be a reaction. Five-sixths will
abandon ana give up their claims. The re-
mainder 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"
