An Old Iyot,ah,a Story.

We feel Obliged To our townsMah
for having given to the reading pub
lie this simple, touching and some
what unique production. An Old
Woman'sStory has np particular
plot, iia entirely destitute Of aught
which is melodFainatic, and has But
one scene which may DO called SEN
sational; yet he who begins the
book is not III haste to lay it down.
To some extent it is a stndy IN pys-
chology, and when in the donhain
Of this peculiar science 1t makes us
all remember that we, too, at times
have been affected and dominated
by influences which we could not
resist.
The "Jessamine" of the story
meets her "fate" when but a, child,
sees him again in young maiden
hood, marfies HIM !. and after es-
arrangement, reconciliation and
much subsequent happiness, closes
her husbands eyes in his dying
moment.
AS we, have slid, the story does
not depend on plot Or situation for
its interest. Much which is not
dialogue is part of a lecture on
Love; and this, by the by, ire
sistibly, leads the reader who knows
Mr.. Pierson to, in some way, CON
meet this isStory" with the authors
life. The book hbounds in excellent
reasoning, and the diction and
rhetoric are pure. From first to
last the book is stamped with the
intense individuality ofMr. Pierson.
No literary work is perfect, but what
ever faults An Old Woman's Story
may contain, plagiarism is certain
~ not one Of them.
Apersonal interest in the author
might lead one to purchase the

Shadows.

Fair as a dream the sunset lies,
Ger all the land tonight;
A tiny bird oil swift wings flies
Between me and the light.
The golden splendor falls upon
The vines In radiance dressed,
But not one CLEAN Of light Is drawn
Unto the birds dark breast.
And yet, beneath that sombre brown,
A little ripping trill
Breaks from Its heart In silver sound,
Across the evening still.
Ali who can tell-ln shadows dark
Some depth Of JOY may lie.
As sweetas that those swift wings mari
Across the golden sky.

Americas Tin.

In May, 1854, party Of gentlemen
examine into the reported discoveries
of tin ore. Two months later the devel-
opment of the veins began. In May
and June, 1885, experiments were made
in New York to determine the nature
of the machinery required to crush and
concentrate its ore. A mill of 200 tons
daily capacity was built at the Eta and
a trial run made in May, 1886, just two
years from the beginning Of operations.
Last week the Chicago & Northwest
ern railroad reached the Hills and
among the first cars loaded was one
containing some of the results of the
| trial run of ore from the first tin mill in
! America. This car load of tin arrived
in Chicago this week, and its arrival is
| one of interest not only to miners but
to the public in general as proof positive
| of the establishment of new industry
| in the United States. Chicago is es-
pecially interested in the arrival Of the
first car load of tin, from the first tin
mine and first tin mill of America, as
the shipments of this metal will all he
marketed in this city. The Garden
City is already the market for more
than half of the tin imported into this
country; but in few months more will
draw her supplies from the west instead
of importing from England. great
deal has been said in public and private
about the shutting down of the Eta
mill, arguing that it was failure, but
from reliable and competent authority
it is known that this was simply stroke
of policy on the part of the owners
They had proved the mine, and tested
the mill and while waiting the coming
of the railroad, and prior to erecting
smelters, have shut down the mine in
order to secure the most important of
the recent discoveries of new lodes.
This has been done, and hereafter the
work Of developing the tin veins of IT,. =
Back Hills will be pushed with vigor
and in short time this country will
save some thirty millions OF dollars an
nually instead of sending it abroad for
tin.
The district from which this car load
of tin comes is located around the base
of Harney's Peak, the granite core of
the Hills. The veins vary in width
from five to 200 feet, and crop out in
places to considerable height above the
surface, and can be followed for from
500 to 5000 feet in length. They all lie
in the states near the line of contact
with the granite, a geological condition
similar to the other tin regions Of the
world.
This car load of tin will be on exhi-
bition in Chicago for couple Of days.
and will be, no doubt, eagerly inspected
by her citizens.-Chicago Mining Re.
