UNION T4Rs ON 4 CRUISE

To the MINING JOURNAL.
The cruise spoken of in one Of your
late editions, to be made by party of
nine gentlemen Of Staunton, Va, has
been accomplished very successfully by
two of them.
The start was made on Middle river,
6 miles north of Staunton, amid the
cheers and good wishes of host Of
friends,
a slow run the first three days to
Port Republic, head of Shenandoah
and 36 miles from starting point.
Camped there for three days with the
hope of good fishing, but the river
beng muddy was in no condition for
the sport.

GOSSIP IN TIE CITY.


To the MINING JOURNAL.
| have been in this city four months
and find business here much better
than i'll Allegany county at the time
OF my departure. The summer has
been so pleasant that many who
usually go to the seaside have remain
ed home to enjoy the pleasure of trip
every day or two to Bay Ridge, Toll
chester, and other noted summer re-
sorts along the Chesapeake bay, which
is much less expensive than to go to
Cape May, Atlantic City and other
places outside the State.
There seems to be a number of new
dwelling houses in course OF erection,
and any quantity Of IsaGuil3in@ and
repairing. Work is Going on rapidly
On the new post Office, situated on the
site of Guys Hotel and the Reuuert
House, and occupying nearly the
whole block bounded by Fayette, Cal
vert, Lexington and North streets.
Peter MART, q Cumberland bricklayer,
is employed upon the building at
wages equal to more than double what
the Georges Creek miners are now re-
ceiving. A good mechanic can get
from yf3 to 81 per day in this city this
summer and they are always i'll de-
mand.
The labor troubles are about over IN
this city and resulted favorably to the
strikers, especially the car drivers and
conductors who are getting the same
pay for shorter hours, and in some
cases even higher wages than they
were previous to the strike. The labor
parades which took place in April
had their effect upon the capitalists
and politicians of this city, who fear
their power at important elections.
One of the most disgraceful things
that happened at Annapolis during
the last session was the stealing of the
miners bill. Governor Lloyd was in
i.ocent OF any completely III the matter,
but some officer OF the House was
certainly guilty of carelessuess, if
nothing more.
Politics dull, although there is a
quiet canvass going on for the Con-
gressional nominations in the city
districts. The death of Dir. William
] l.. .,.,,c,l
among the aspirants in the Sd district,
| the most noted OF whom are lsidor
Raynor, and Hon. William Pinllney
| Whytc. In Findlay's district there
is some talk Of his being An independ-
ent candidate, who will be supported
also by the republicans.
The next gubernatorial candidate
may possibly be chosen from the East
ern Shore, although Barnes Compton
seems to be the most prominent can
didato spoken of at present. Post
master Brown is out Of the race, and
among those from Western Maryland
who are prominently mentioned are
Hon. William Walsh, of your county,
and Col. l.. Victor Baughman, of
Frederick. The latter would be
strongly supported by the Baltimore
Sun. Baughman has done well as
president of the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, but he will hardly be nominated
for governor, unless Western Mary
land this year elects a democrat to
Congress. CADMUS.

The Ketchum keystone. [volume] (Ketchum, Idaho) 1885-1899, 1886-12-11

found a Confederate note in Liberty
county, Ga, October 25. 1856, with the fol
lowing lines written on the back:
Representing nothing on Gods earth now
And naught on the waters below it,
As the pledge of a nation that's dead and
gone,
Keep it, dear friends, and show it,
Show it 20 those who will lend an ear,
To the tale this trifle can tell.
OF a liberty born of a patriots dream,
OF storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much of a stranger to borrow,
We issued to-day our promise to pay
And hoped to redeem on the morrow.
The days rolled by and the weeks became
years,
But our Golfers were empty still,
Coin was SO rare that the treasury'd quake
If a dollar should drop in the till.
But the faith that was in us was strong in
deed,
And our poverty well we discerncd,
And this little check represented the pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
We knew it had hardly value in gold
Yet as gold each soldier received it:
II gazed in our eyes with promise to pay,
And each Southern patriot believed it.
But our boys thought little of peace or of
paw,
Or of bills that were overdue,
We knew il il brought us our bread to-day,
Twas the best our poor country could do.
Keep it; it tells our history over,
From the birth of its dream to its last;
Modest, and born of the angel Hope,
Like our hope of success il passed.
