Vermont Methodist Seminary.

The fifty-third year of this institution
opens Monday, August 49, During the va
cation the buildings have been put in excel
lent condition for occupancy Thus far a
large number have applied for rooms, and
the outlook is for an unusually large attend
ance. The thirty scholarships secured by
President Beeman have put an education
within the reach of as many deserving STU
dents who could not otherwise attend the
school. Very few schools are as healthful1y
located or so well equipped for thorough
work in all departments. Special mention
should be made of the faculty for the COM
ing year. Principal Bishop remains in the
place he has filled for the past four or five
years. Miss Harrison, the preceptress, whose
work as teacher of art has attracted more
than local attention and patronage, is to re-
main, as are also Miss Vance and Miss Po-
land. Miss Bickford, who studied a part Of
her time and taught some classes, is to en-
ter Syracuse University for more extended
course of study. 1t is expected that her
place will be filed by Miss Julia Jackman,
for the past four years preceptress of the
Windsor High School. The gymnastics
will be taught according to Dr. Sargent's
system by Miss Lola A. BiXby, member of
the last graduating class. Professor f. G.
Morey, who takes the chair of Latin and
Greek, is a graduate of Syracuse Univer-
sity and has taught these languages in Gaze
novia On. Y } Seminary, He is strongly en-
dorsed as thorough and successful teacher.
Professor I, w. Fay, who takes the chair
of natural science, is graduate of Har-
ward University. He has devoted special
attention to the sciences and took special
honor in chemistry. Professor d. S. Blan-
| pied, who takes charge OF the music, is
graduate of the New England Conservatory
and also of the College of Music in Boston.
He enjoys the distinction of being one OF
three men to whom Boston University has
ever granted the degree of B.M. Since
/ L. 1. e Al.
time dean of the College of Music in Ohio
Wesleyan University He has now fine
reputation as an earnest, enthusiastic and
successful teacher, and doubtless, both pro-
fessionally and socially, will prove valu-
able acquisition to the school and Mont
pelier. While it is to be regretted that so
many changes were necessary yet it must
be apparent to all that this institution was
never better ftted-if, indeed, as well
fitted-for good work as to-day.

BETTER THAN VACATIoN.-This is pre-
eminently the vacation month, when thou
sands seek rest and recreation. But to
those who suffer the depressing effects of
summer debility the disagreeable symptoms
of scrofula, the tortures of biliousness, dys-
pepsia or sick-headache, there is more pain
than pleasure in leaving home. To such
we say, Give Hoods Sarsaparilla trial,
1t will purify your blood, tone up and
strengthen your body, expel every trace of
scrofula, correct bilousness and positively
cure dyspepsia or sick-headache. Take it

and on this occasion .felt their oats" At
the town in question the gentlemen filled up
tho wagon, with scraps Of fat and refuse
meats, which were not to be ground into
sausage (?). The horses meantime became
chilled, not havingt the means Of warming up
that their masters found &c abundant
during their short stay. The traces were
unusually short and the whipple-trees
very frequently. The animals, fretful be-
cause cold, started to Butte at q gait
about equal to that of the artiieially
steamed blood that ran along the veins OF
the drivers. At q breakneck speed runa-
way No. / occurred. Pulling the team in
after great effort the drivers began to take
an inventory to ascertain the profit and
loss. 1t was llloss. Meantime of darted the
team at a lightning like speed. Checked again

Of the land of dykes went sailins

into the air, flying in all directions,
were shinbones Of beeves, pigs, sheep and
other animals, giblets and refuse fats and

knights Of the cleaver are yet coasting
southwark, unless their bottoms are worn
through, and all the small boys and other
c~arnivorous animals between Butte and
Walkerville are plodding around town to
the back doors OF butcher shops offering
for sale from one pound to hall a ton OF
fleshy fragments that a kind Providence
scattered along the highway, with as lavish
a hand as in olden days He sent the ravens,
magpies, canvassback ducks and other
wild fowls to feed the good man in the viii
derness. If there is anything left of those
two gentlemen when they ''pull up''
somewhere down the country the readers
of The MINER will have due notice.

The Use of the English Language.

In the High School building last %evenin,
among the several exercises held the large
audience was a tiptoe to zeal the address
OF Hon. A. c. Botkin OF Helena, upon "The
Use OF the English Language" MT. Botkin
is well-known in Montana as a clear
thinker, a strong writer and q graceful and
forcible speaker.
The speaker began his address at an
earlier stage OF the proceedings than it had
been understood he would and from the
moment he finished his first sentence had
the entire audience under his control. He
is an entertaining man upon the platform
both in manner and the substance of his
remarks, into the body of which he would
frequently work apt and mirth-provoking
illustrations and anecdotes.
Mr.. Botkins' address was too good in
several particulars to be butchered by a
synopsis such as a morning daily would be
necessitated to publish. 1t can only be
said here and now that the main point was
to impress upoa his hearers, nearly all of
whom were professional teachers, the i'm.
portance OF care and caution in the use of
words. A slovenly use of the Language, he
claimed, vas too common at this day and
he warned teachers of their negligence in
this particular. Byillustrations he showed
the censurable habit of carelessly framing
sentences, OF bad spelling, OF a punctua-
tiun, of bad grammar and Of bad illustra-
tions OF an idea, or principle, contended for
or advanced by writer's and speakers, All
OF these matters he literally illustrated
and SO clear-cut were his sentences, and
his tone and manner that the
listeners could often anticipate his coming
u~tterances. His style is a happy one, en-
Pertaining and, therefore, carrying with it
instruction in more than one way. He
spoke last evening like a man who felt the
truth and Importance OF what he was say
ing and over the entire address he threw an
unrent veil of classic beauty. That ad-
dress should be published and scattered
over the land.

LOST CLOUD MINING DISTRICT.
This District Rapidly Growing n
Population and Importance
The POlaris Mine. Etc.

DR.. j. 8. Meade, an old Coloradan, is in
the city stopping with the genial DR.. Beal,
commander OF the well supplied provision
ship Centennial. In a conversation with
The MINER representative yesterday, he
said that the several specimens near him
were from the mine Polaris, in Lost Cloud
District, near the old city OF Bannock. The
district is alive with men at work either
upon well known leads or in search OF
others. or beginning work upon those just
located. The large 'chunk" OF ore which
the Doctor had brought to Butte is to be
left at the rooms Of the Silver Bow Club
in this city. The ore is beautiful. Lots 81
it have been sent to the works at Omaha,
returning in the aggregate some $4,000.
There are now on the dump Of the Polaris
1,5OO tons OF easy milling ore, which will
average $50 per ton. The specimen left
with the Silver Bow Club will run from
5000 to 5000 per ton. The Lost Cloud
district is near the famous Elkhorn dis.
trict where ~carbonates are found. The
shaft OF the Polaris is down $50 feet. It's
vein is from 8 to 16 feet wide. Good hoist
ing works and buildings are completed there
and there is u 6O.foot tunnel at the lower
level, one of 90 feet at the 1OO-foot level,
and another level ct q depth OF 20 feet.
Another shaft 200 feet east from the main
shaft is already down 30 feet and a drift
of 80 feet is there with u 5-foot ore body
plainly visible. In November just past
a carload OF Polaris ore was shipped to
the Butte City Reduction Works which re-
turned $1S8 per ton. In December an
other carload of third class ore taken from
the dump was shipped and yielded $50 per
ton and two carloads are now at the Re-
duction works to be sampled whose re-
turns the doctor does not yet know. The
Polaris and the Lost Cloud district gen.
orally and declares that there is no doubt
about it's early development into a great
mining camp.

He Did Not Decline.

On Christmas night 10 q Main street sa-
loon q number OF Butte merry-makers had
assembled. The conversation grew more
and more rapid and mixed, and the oft-re,
peated chorus was, ''let's take something"
Presently q well known man Of the city
who has q nice home and most refined and
""toney" daughters stepped in and leaned
to listen against the counter. A young
man OF the merry-makers asked the old
man to "join,them, hoping really that he
would decline, for he wal then all ready to
recline: but he reckoned without his host,
for the old stager took four fingers straight.
When the fluid began to gallon through the
old mans veins he wilted. doubled IN and
fell all in a heap. The attendant and tie

perhaps to dream-and when they returned
the members OF the party upbraided the
polite young man for giving the old stager
the liquid. "Oh, on such a private occa-
sion as this l thought he would decline, OF
course. You see, l am sort of soft on
Miss -, his daughter, and l could not
slight my possible father-in-law;tha would
never do" the upbraided young man re-
piled.
"Young man." spoke up the mixer OF
drinks from behind the counter, "yOu say
you thought he would decline? Let me tell
you; l have known that man for years. and
he never declines. When the Statue of Lib.
erty enlightening the World makes a bad
stand and falls into the waters OF New
York harbor; when the Rocky Mountains
crumble and tumble from their rock-bound
beds: when a politician learns not to lie
and steal; when the tigress or the she bear

There was a pause, a general catching Of
breath and the company separated without
another round. The barkeeper had para
lyzed them.

Congressman Taylor, of Tennessee,
sometimes employs chilled steel language
in expressing himself. 1t is said he met
Pig Iron Kelley in the cloak room OF the
House OF Representatives the other day
and began to upbraid him for his per-
sistence in advocating the interests OF
monopoly at the expense of the people. As
he warmed to his work he became more
vehement and wound up the performance
by calling the distinguished Pennsylvania
protectionist an "old iron-heeled monster,
a steel-mouuted old fraud, a tin-plated,
patent, reversible old chestnut puller for
the tariff made combinations and a pig
iron buttressed deceiver of women and
children" When Taylor got through KEEL
~ smiled, put his hand in his hip pocket,
pulled out a 20-penny nail, ate it, picked
his teeth with a crowbar, turned into the
hall, and moved that the tariff on iron be
raised 200 per cent.

and well it was, for if the army of anti-bene.
diets in Butte had known OF it, a din would
have been raised about the premises that
would have convinced the bride that every

match. The high contracting parties have
cherished and nurtured the hope of this
contamination for years and the hosts Of
friends OF both are ready to batter down
their door with a shower of the traditional
''old shoes for good luck" and unite in one
hearty hope OF godspeed for the young

Through the mystic vale Of years, may the great

Whose rain dimples are Of tears.

A HEARTLESS WRETCH,
A Newspaper Man and Operator De.
ceives and Mistreats AnOther's
Wife, then Leaves Her Corpse
Unburied.

X. G.. mccarthy was for several seasons
the Washington correspondent Of several
Southern newspapers. Subsequently he
returned to his professien-telegrapby-
and was stationed for some time past ct
the Hot Springs, near Ogden, Utah, on the
line OF the Utah & Northern railroad. He
had with him amodest, retiring and rather
prepossessing woman whom, during his
long stay there, he held out to the world as
his wife.
Recently the woman became i'll and he
sent her to Ogden, some eight miles from
the springs. On the twenty-second of
December, ult., the poor woman who had
been SO long i'll. penniless. unvisited by
mccarthy, and an object eli care to strangers,
died. As soon as mccarthy learned Of her
death he fled the country leaving his wife"
dead and unburied. The good people of
Ogden had nursed her tenderly during her
illness, but McCarty came not near her.
It now transpires that Mrs. McCarty''
was not Mrs. mccarthy, but the wife of F.
Cambloss, who is the fuel agent of the Ore
gon Railway and Navigation Company in
Washington Territory. She had met Nc
Carly, loved him unwisely and in an evil
hour abandoned her husband to fly with
her seducer. During all her absence from
the real husband, he in his simplicity and
kindness OF heart supplied her with money.
She bad some 81, 500 in cash which Nc
Carly managed to get and squander.
When he wearied OF her, and she became i'll,
he showed her off on strangers and when
she died, he fled, leaving her corpse unc'ad
for the grave. But it happened that just
before she died, memory began to recall
the man she had deserted and in her re-
morse she ~teleqraphed him all. With the
same devotion that had caused him to sup
ply her with funds all along, which
the base betrayer squandered, the husband
FASTENED as fast as steam could bring him
to the bedside OF his erring but beloved
wife. He arrived too late. Death had
sealed her lips and kissed down her eye
and wretched, be laid her away in the
graveyard and returned to his Western
home, with nought but memory to strike
upon the sepulcher OF his past and bring
back before him the specteIs of his early
joys.
II there are words to fifty picture the
base deserter OF this erring woman the
writer has yet to learn them. II the better
feelings OF mans nature are yet alive. the
poor white face, hidden from the gaze OF
the world beneath the charitable sod of
Ogden's Cemetery, is a silent petitioner for
pity, charity and silence. Let her
sleep there, in the shadow of the great
mountains, and when the Spring
time comes, and Utah's flowers bloom
above her, let no cruel word be whispered
to disturb the peace OF the SINKING, but de-
weak one. The guilty one has fled,
and wherever he is, the brave will trust
that the curse of the Black Prophet may
tollow on his track, and the muttered
anathema of the husbands lips be not
into q blessing.

Jessie jagged.

"Jessie," she whose Oath birthday-anni
versary was recently heralded with such a
flourish Of trumpets and celebrated amid
the clatter OF tableware and the ~jingling OIL
glasses, has fallen by the wayside and il
now la~ngnishing in Jail. It appears that a
few days ago she left her usual place OF
abode OF Park street "for good and ALL,

listened down. About 7:3O last evening
Chief Cody noticed a crowd on the side.

house and upon Investigation found that

lay the body OF Jessie who was so lately
"24 years Old" The officer could not get
in to see what was up and the woman de.
clared she had no key and could not let
him in. He at once broke open the door
and a scene of d%eeolation greeted him,
There was nothing, literally nothing, in the
but broken glass and badly bam-
boezled "Jessie," who lay in a lump as
full as two ticks" The officer dispersed
the motley crowd and took Jessie" to
jail. where he searched her and found the
key hidden in tie bosom of her dress. It
t%ranspires that in moving out the furniture
and carpets so many old DRINKS and so
many noxious things were stirred up that
they upset the madame of the mansion
and laid her out in the cold.
