How lie Found a Mine.

Some of the best mines known have
been discovered, as before remarked,
merely by accident. while Others again
the result of years of toll and labor.
Then Others again have been run across
when the lucky in lividual whom fortune
favored was thinking of anything but
falling into gold mine. John Quincy
Adams, namesake of the great John O.,
struck rich mine somewhere down in
New Mexico in this way:
While prospecting he found his haver-
sack on fire, his prospector's glass having
focused the suns rays upon it. AS the
haversack contained about dozen
pounds of powder he dropped it and got
out of the way in a hurry. 1t fell into a
crevice and large mass of rock was
thrown up. Adams returned mournfully
to gather up what might be left of his
effects, and an exceedingly rich vein of
ore which the explosion had exposed
to view. He sold third-interest in his
find for SIG, 900, and very consistently
named the mine "The Nick of time" y

Retreats of the MOOnsliners,

A Chicago Herald correspondent, writ
ing from the Kentucky mountain regions,
says: There are thirty-fvc to forty ILL
cit stills in Perry and Lctcher counties.
No man believes the government has a
right to tax the product of their own la
Dor. An army of men could not discov-
CT all these stills, hidden away as they
are in the most inaccessible mountain
caves and Businesses. The tales of the
Arabian nights are not more labyrinthinc
than the hidden ways to these whisky
tubs And the big, loose jointcd noun

Just where Kentucky and Tennessee and
Virginia meet, are rs splcndidly armed
as any men in America. The finest re-
pcating Winchester rifles arc common
household ornaments. Living chcaply,
with nothing to lose at home, they can
hide away for months at time in the
mountain rcccsscs absolutely impregnablc.
Why do not the authorities send the
militia up here to see justice mcted outl
That has been tried over and over again.
Breathitt County had a court trial few
years ago that took a band of soldiers two
campaigns to finish. The mountainous

settle their private fcuds without outside
interference. And it looks as if they

Daniel WrhIter,S Plough.

On one occasion some Boston friends
sent Webster as present an enormous
sized plough to use on his place Web
stcr gave out word that on certain day
it would be christened. The day arrived,
and the surrounding farmers for miles
came in to witness the event. A dozen
teams with aristocratic occupants came
from Boston. 1t was expected by every
one that Webster would make q great
speech on the occasion, reviewing the his
tory of farming from the time when Gin.
cinnatus abdcatcd the most mighty
throne in the world to cultivate turnips
and cabbages in his Roman garden. The
plough was brought out and ten yoke of
of splendid oxen hitched in front. More
than 200 people stood around on the tip
toe of expectation. Soon Webster made
his appearance. He had been calling
spirits from the vastly deep, and his gait
was somewhat unsteady. Selling the
plough handles and spreading his feet, he
yelled out to the driver in his deep, bass
voice.
care you all ready, Mr.. Wright"
"All ready, Mr.. Webster" was the re-
ply, meaning, of course, for his speech.
Webster Strengthened himself up by a
mighty effort, and shouted:
"Thcn let her rip!'

while Webster, with his big plough pro-
cecded to rip up the soil.-BeJast (Ae. }

Northern aud Southern Names of Bat.
tlac

From General d, II. Hills paper IN
the Century ''rhe Battle of South
Mountain, or Boonsboro'," We Quote as
follows: "The conflict of the 14th of
September 1862 is called the battle Of
South Mountain at the North and tho
battle of Boonsboro' at the South. So
many battle fields of the civil war bear
double names that we cannot believe the
duplication has been accidental, 1t is
the unusual which impresses. The troops
Of the North came mainly from cities,
towns and villages, and were, therefore,
impressed by some natural object near
the scene of the conflict and named the
battle from it. The soldiers from tho
South were chiefly from the country, and
were therefore impressed by some artih-
cial object near the field of action. In
one section the naming has been after the
handiwork of God; in the other section
it has been after the handiwork of man.
Thus the first passage of arms is called
the battle of Bull Run, at the North,
the name Of little stream. At the
South it takes the name of Manassas,
from railroad station. The second bat
tie on the same ground is called the Sec
ond Bull Run by the North, and the Sec
ond Manassas by the South. Stones de-
feat is the battle of Balls Bluff with the
Federals, and the battle of Leesburg
with the Confcderates. The battle called
by General Grant Pittsburg Landing, a
natural object, was named Shiloh, after a
church, by his antagonist. RosecyIns
called his first great fight with Bragg the
battle of Stone River, while Bragg nam
ed it after Murfreesboro', a village. So
McClellan's battle of the Chickahominy,
little river was with Lee the battle of
Cold Harbor, a tavern. The Federals
speak of the battle of Pea Ridge, of the
Ozark range Of Mountains, and the Con-
/ federates call it after Elk Horn, coun-
try inn. The Union soldiers called the
bloody battle three days after South
Mountain from the little stream, Antie-
tam, and the Southern troops named it
after the village of Sharpsburg. Many
instances might be given Of this double
naming by the opposing forces. Accord
ing to the same law of the unusual, the
war songs of people have always been
written by non-combatants. The bards
who followed the banners of the fcudal
lords, sang of their exploits, and stimu-
lated them and their retainers to deeds
thigh emprisc, wore no armor and car
red no swords. So, too, the impassion-
ed ators who reused our ancestors in
] 1776. with the thrilling cry, Liberty or
Death, never once put themselves in the
way of death by lead or steel, by mus
ket ball or bayonct stab. The noisy
speakers of 1861. who fred the Northern
heart and who fred the Southern
heart, never did any other kind of firing.
One of the most prominent of them
frankly admitted that he preferred hor
izontal to vertical DEATH.

He isnow president of the First National

Smoothing the Taters With Cil.

The reports received at Che hydro
graphic office from mariners Of their snc
cess in using oil upon troubled seas are
on the increase and show that the pIac
tice is meeting with general favor.
Captain Lewis, of the brig Maria w
Norwood, reports that on February 4,
he encountered heavy gale and had %
heave to. Three bags filed with pfas
oil were hung over at the bow, waist and
stern, and not drop of water cam6 on
board afterward for three days. Tho
oil spread well to windward as the vessel
drifted. The captain and mate declare
that they will buy oil for this purpose
out of their own pockets rather than to
60 to sea without it.
Captain Trcgarthea, British Steamship
Marmanh ense, reports that on March ,,
off Hat, eras, when in very strong north
west wind, he used oil with good rt suits.
After using the oil, he says, the vessel
rode much more easily, co.ld Ds kept
head to the sea, and no water came on
board, the sea being without combers fol-
thirty yards to windward of her. Il

proper use of oil l will be perfectly will.
ing to encounter thu hardest gale that
sver blew" and intends on the first occa-
sion that offers itself, to stop the en-
gines, place several oil bags to wind
ward, and let the vessel drift as she will,
feeling sure that the vessel will be as
safe and comfortable as possible. !
only regret not having tried the expert
ment before, as opportunities have Of
fered themselves, and wonder that ship
owners, in the face OF 80 many success
full experiments, fail to supply their
ships with appliances for this purposs.
Bark James A. Goyland reports that
she met terrible weather On ner passage
from BraziI. Caprnln Dav.s Gays that
the hurricane which visited New Ysrk
during the latter part OF February
struck his vessel on tho 26th of that
month, when she was in the middle of
thc Gulf stream, of Cape Hattcras. 1t
lasted for two days, and came again on
kIarch 2, and again on March 10, when
the vessel was on the ea1tern edge of the
Gulf stream; much of the time the decks
were submerged and fhe vessel had tc
be kept before the sind. 1t was ncces-
sary to calm the violence Of the sea in
some way, and Captain Davis had resort
to the use of linsecl oil lie placed
large pieces Of oakum. saturated with
oil, sin bags, and 1t the oil drip slowly
into the sea. The effect was marvellous,
the oil completely breaking the edge and
