Things Not rs They Were.

| Detroit Free Press.
Shortly after the war a tourist on a south
| ern river steamboat, lettering around the
| lower deck observed an old darkey seated on
the edge of the boat swinging his legs over
the water in most comfortable manner and
drawing near, entered into conversation.
"Old man, how do you like freedom?"
The old darkey looked puzzled and after
scratching his head thoughtfully and shaking
it obviously awhile, replied ?"
"Bossy, hits sorter mixed

Where the Newspaper Goes.
American Agriculturist.


You enter one of the simple country houses
OF New England, at some distance, it may be,
from any railroad station or busy mantactur-
ing centre. 1t is lonely looking place, for
the children the house have grown up and
gone away, and the farmer and his wife are
growing old. The routine of their lives is
narrow, and they go through it day by day,
as If nothing in the world were quite so i'm
porlant as that. You fancy that this elder
" couple will be found sojourning still in the
Middle Ages. But look about you, my friend,
and you will see, that once or twice week
it brings to these persons tidngs from the
ends ofthe earth. You will find, that they have
more time to read, and to keep the run of af.
fairs than you in your busy city life, and when
you sit down to talk with them, you will learn
that they are not fossils, but well informed,
and perhaps cultivated people. They know
something not only about agriculture, but
about manufactures, science and art, about
social life in other places and countries. And
SO, while they linger beneath the old moss
covered roof they are not shut in by the line
fences of their farm, or by the bounds of their
town; their view embraces the great wide
world of humanity. And the window
through which they look, or rather the mir
ror in which they see it all reflected, is the
newspaper.

Gossip.

Gossip is a patent sign of vulgarity in heart
and mind, Intellect that never rises beyond
the small mean facts of personal history
fiuidity which cannot keep to itself what has
been told even in confidence, and that goes
about swelling mole hills into mountains, can
claim no respect, make out no case for itself
against the decree of gross. vile, stupid vul.
garity recorded against it. 1t is as thoroughly
vulgar as is curiosity; and between prying
into things with which we have no concern,
and retailing gossip which is no business OF
ours to handle at all, there is not hair
breadth to choose. Each is equally the sign
Of utter and entire vulgarity; and ifone is the
bull's-eye, the other is the goal. But both
are faults to be found growing as rank as
weeds by the wayside; and it would be hard
to count upon ones fingers amongst our
largest circle of acquaintance. those who are
absolutely free from the vice of gossip and
the vulgarity of curiosity.
Life is not so short but there is ALWAYS

Discipline of Life,

One thing experience teaches, that life
brings no benedictions for those who take it
easily. The harvest cannot be reaped until
the soil has been deeply powed and freely
narrowed Learn to suffer and to be strong"
says the poet and certain is it without suff.
ering there can be no strength. Not, indeed,
that suffering is or makes strength, but it
evokes the latent power, and rouses into &C.
ton the energies that would have otherwise
lain ingloriously supine. The discipline of
Ire is necessary prelude to the victory of
life; and all that is finest, purest, and noblest
in human nature is called forth by the pre-
sence of want, disappointment, pain, opposi-
ton and injustice. Difficulties can be con-
quered only by decision obstacles can be re.
moved only by arduous efforts. These test
our manhood, and at the same time confirm
our selfcontrol.

REST.
My feet are weared and my hands are tied,
My soul oppressed
And desire, what have long desired
Rest-only rest.
TITS hard to toll, when toll is almost vain,
In barren ways;
IT'S hard to SOW and never garner grain,
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear,
But God knows best;
And have prayed, but vain has been my prayer
For rest-sweet rest
IT'S hard to plant in spring and never reap,
The autumn yield;
'Tis hard to till, and when It's titled to weep
Ger fruiteSs field.
And so cry weak and human cry,
So heart oppressed;
And so sigh weak and human sigh,
For rest-for rest
My way has wound across the desert years.
And cares infest
My path, and through the flowing of hot tears
pine for rest.
And am restless still twill soon be DER;
For down the west
Lilies sun Is setting, and | see the shore
Where shall rest.

NATIONAL BANKS.
Tho Effects on h Circulation by Calling
In the 3 per Cent.

The Effects on the Circulation by Calm,
In the 3 per Cent.
WASHINGTON, November Tt is statec
on authority that the opinion given by tn,
Attorney General as to the unavailability
OF the called 3 per cents as a basis OF Ma
tional bank circulation will make nc
change in the attitude of the Treasury De
partment because this opinion only con.
firmed q rule heretofore followed. The
banks have shown considerable diligence
in acting under this rule, and in conse
quence OF it they have withdrawn from de.
posit..and presented for redemption nearly
$40, OOO, 600 of 3 per cent bonds since the
twelfth of August, the date of the first
$4,000, 600 call. At the same rate here.
after it is expected that Withdrawals will
keep pace very fairly with future calls.
Against the $4,000, 600 of 3 per cent
withdrawn there have been only about
$4,000, 900 bonds deposited so that the
total bonds on hand to secure National
bank circulation have been reduced by
about $4,000, 600 which contracts the
circulation by $4,000, 900. If these pro-
portions are preserved throughout the
changes resulting from the future calls OF
3 per cent. bonds there may be q further
contraction OF sos, 600, 900 by the time all
these bonds are withdrawn. It is said at
the Treasury that this contraction in
volume in the National bank circulation
will not be felt in the channels of trade
because the National bank notes with
drawn will be replaced by disbursements
from the Treasury, and in addition the
banks that surrender bonds and reduce
their circulation receive money for 10 per
cent. of the bonds redeemed and 5 per cent.
OF the circulation surrendered, making 14kA
per cent. upon the face of the bonds.

MARCUS DALY'S PROPOSITION.
A Large Meeting Of Knights OF Labor
Held in Anaconda to Consider 1t.

He'll IN An8COuUa u CUuSluCA I've
Adyices received from Anaconda last
evening state that Mr.. Marcus DAILY had
made a proposition to a called committee
Of the Knights of Labor that if the old en-
ployes at the smelter would work for $3.50
per day he would start up the works; 9TH
erwise he would permit them to remain
idle. The wages formerly paid was 50 per
day.
Last evening a large meeting OF the
Knights of Labor and workingmen was
held in the skating rink at that place and
the proposition thoroughly discussed.
When our informant left the meeting at 10
o'clock last night no conclusion had beer
reached, and as the telegraph office at
Anaconda was closed, we had no means OF
ascertaining further facts concerning it. 1t
annears, however, that many OF the work.
men who have families there were in favor
of accepting Mr.. Daly's proposition, as the
merchants of the place had carried
them along for some time, and
they wanted work so they could
pay their indebtedness. On the other
hand there were those-young men-bettel
nrenared to endure a season OF idleness,
| who opposed the acceptance OF any reduc'
| ton in wages. The matter will probably
aeon be settled. It is understood that the
| leading business men OF Anaconda are doine
all they can to effect a compromise by
| which the ~workingmen OF the place may
| again obtain employment.
Notwithstanding rumors to the contrary
as far as we have learned, any reduction Of
wages at Anaconda-if such should bt
made-will in no wise effect the question o.
wages in this city. We have yet to learr

part 81 mill and mine owners to ask any

a cut in wages in Anaconda will not be fol
lowed by a cut in Butte and vicinity.

The McGiheny Family.

This extraordinary family of musicians
will open in Butte next Friday evening Tor
three nights engagement. Mr.. Louis
Villemaire, the rustling, attentive and &C.
c~ommodating assistant manager OF the
Opera House here. speaks in the highest
terms OF their merits as artists, n forti-
ies his opinion by the following from the
Missouri Republican of d recent date:
There is not a member of the large family
who is not q musician, and they are a good
illustration of what proper methods of cul-
ture applied to the training of children OF
naturally artistic minds can accomplish.
Mr.. McGibeny, the father, takes but little
part in the performance, his work being
more in the direction and training OF the
children. Mrs. McGibeny, on the other
hand, has a splendid voice, and led IN the
several choruses by the entire family. Mrs.
Prank McGibeny, wife Of the eldest son, is
a late addition to the family, but she con-
tributed her quota in a cornet solo, Stein
hauser's ''Serf Polka that was we'll re-
ceived, and was, in fact, one of the best
rendered compositions on the programme.
Mr.. Hugh McGibeny is an excellent violin.
,st and well deserved the applause he re-
ceived. But little James, 6 yeare old, is
the 'cutest' one of the flock, and his funny
antics were very amusing. Taken as a
whole, a family Of twelve children, all mu:
sicians, is something extraordinary, and
their success in other parts OF the country
is not surprising. Probably 1000 people
attended both performances"

New YORK, November 6.-Henry George,
the defeated labor candidate for mayor,
was given q large reception at the Coopers'
Union Hall tonight. James Redpath and
John Swinton accepted seats on the plat
form. Resolutions we're adopted calling on
the district organizations to continue their
work and to throw open their doors to
new members and prepare by organization
and education for future contests. The
Central Labor Union is called upon to
issue an address to organizations in other
cities asking their cooperation in similar
movements that a national party might be
formed. Henry George made an address
in which he predicted that the movement
inaugurated here would spread throughout
the country.
