Grant Conntp Nerala,
Bonnie Stratheyre.


THERE'S meadows In Lanark and mountains in
Skye,
And pastures In Hieland and Lawlands forbye:
BUT there's nae greater luck that the heart
could desire
Than TO herd the fine cattle In bonnie Strath-
eyre.
@, it's up in the morn and ava TO the hill,
When the lang simmer days are sac warm and
sac still,
Till the peak o Ben vorlich is girdIed WI fire,
Ana the evenin fa's gently on bonnie Strath-
Then there's mirth in the Smelling and love in
my breast,
When the sun is game doun and the kye are Mt
For there's mouy prince wad be proud to
aspire
To my winsome wee Maggie, the pride o.
Strathcyre!
Her lips are like rowans in ripe simmer seem.
And mild as the starlight the CLINT % her cen:
Far sweeter her breath than the scent o. the
briar,
And her voice is sweet music in bonnie strath-
eyre.
Set Flora by Colin and Maggie by me.
AND wei dance TO the pipes swelliu' loudly
and free,
Till the moon in the heavens climbing higher
Bids us sleep on fresh brackens in bonnie
Stratheyre.
Though some to gay touns in the Lawands
VIII roam,
And some will gang sodgerin' far from their
home
Yet III aye herd my cattle. and bigg my ain
byre,
And love my ain Maggie In bonnie Stratheyre

Stories About Uncle Joe.

few week ago the journal published
a sketch of certain ''Unclc joe" who
once lived in the vicinity of Lake Au-
burn. Sam Jenkins, the noted light
ning-rod agent, who was raised in I'm
Gle Joe's neighborhood, contributes two
good stories about this odd old fellow.
Uncle Joe never was stuck bv a long
word. He was an uneducated man, but
no matter how thickly ANYBODY fired alb
struse logic or technical terms at him
be always pretended to comprehend
everything that was said. Sam Jenkins
says that one day, while he was shing-
ling barn with man named French,
Uncle Joe was seen coming that way
Jenkins" said French, IN bet YOU
can't give Uncle Joe word that he
won't pretend to understand Sam
thought he'd try it. Uncle Joe picked
up an old single took out his jack
knife, and began to white. Boys"
said he, ''if | were in your place
wouldn't put SO many nails in those
shingles. One nail to a Single is
enough. It's the way always single
my barn" Here was Jenkins chance.
But, Uncle Joe" said he, II should
think the shingles would elucidate where
you only use one nail to shingle.
BLESS you. they do elucidate; yes, in
deed, they elucidate like thunder, but
that don't hurt EN- any-they come
right back into place" replied Uncle
Joe. whiting the shingle composedly
all the time
Uncle Joe was planting corn in his
field one day. when one of his hens fol-
lowed him and ate up the corn as fast
AS he went along. Uncle Joe went up
one row and down another, the hen TAX
ing up the corn from each hin as fast as
he dropped it. He did not notice the
hen till he reached the last hill in the
last row when he saw the sly old bird
in the hill just back of him. ..Hullor'

Some little time since there was a GER
tain man upon the Harvard faculty OF
scholarly attainments and long connee-
ton with the college, but who, in Eliot's
opinion, had outlived his usefulness. So
the president called around on horse
back one morning as he was out for his
customary ride. The professor was in
his yard. Their greetings were cordial,
and they chatted pleasantly on one sub
jec and another until Eliot turned 10
60. just as he took up his reins he
said: by the way, professor. should
be glad to have you send in your resig-
nation some day before long. Good
morning" And he cantered off. The
old gentleman was thundcrstrnck. as
may be imagined. but how could he re-
sist such a courteous appeal? So he did
what he had to be resigned. Boston

M:HIEC NOTES.

Late shipments of bullion from the Clir mine are 999 fine according to returns from the Selby smelting works.
 John Hicks is driving away on his Msy Queen mine from which a number of ex' cellent assays have been made. Charley Thiessen, the irrepressible Mark Topely of the desert is preparing to start a burro and chicken ranch on the river, neal his Eureka mines.
 The old Anchor mine is bonanza and Rohwer, Fisk & Co.,, have two feet of lead sulphide that will average sixty per cent. lead and 8 oz. silver per ton.
 Between Silver district and old Eureka district, this county, is belt of country, in every gulch and wash is found float lead running high in silver. The lodges from which this float comes are blind, but the country is open, that careful prospecting can not fail to uncover the lodes. It is the softest and prettiest chance for skilled pros- pectors with little grub stake to make raise. At the present price paid for lead and the silver averaging 40 oz. per ton, facilities for shipping, $ll per ton to San Francisco, delivery of water at one dollar per barrel and supplies at reasonable rates from the local store of J. Detelbach through whom ore could be shipped. It discounts wages with less hours and the mines are certainly there.

Not Symptoms, but the Disease.

It wonld seem to be truth appreciable
 by all, and especially by professors of the
 healing art, that to remove theNlisease, not to alleviate its symptoms, should be the chief aim of medication. Yet in how many instances do we see this truth admitted in theory, ignored in practice. The reason that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is success full in so many cases, with which remedies previously tried were inadequate to cope, is attributable to the fact that it is medicine which reaches and removes the causes of various maladies to which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver complaint gout, rehumatism disorder of the bowels, urinary affections and other maladies are not palliated merely, but rooted out only by it. It goes to the fountain head. It is really, not nominally, radical redemy, and it edows the system with an amount of wig or which is its best protection against dis ease.
