Two bales of cotton raised by slave labor
in 1862 were sold the other day at Rock Hill,
S. c., as the New York Sun notes. The
owner had been offered 33s cents in gold a
pound, but for some unknown reason would
not sell, and when he died he still had it
stored. 1t was in excellent condition,
although "a years old, and was sold for 81
cents a pound, the lowent price touched by
cotton since these bales were grown.

THE BUTTE SALT QUESTION.
a Reduction That WIFI Enable the
Mills to Continue Operating.

The Union Pacific has finally compro-
missed with the Butte mill owners by
making a reduction on the transportation
of salt which will save to the Butte pee
pie $3.50 per ton. The last contract made
with the company involved n cost of
$3.50 per ton delivered at the depot at
Butte, while by the present arrangement
the salt will be laid down at the
same point for $15. This may
not appear matter of much i'm
portance to the public, but it really
amounts to thousands OF dollars monthly
to the mill owners, and through them
affects the entire business relations of
Butte and vicinity. The arrangement
which has been accepted, 1T is understood,
by all the leading operators, contained
the condition that all ores and bullion
should be shipped over the Union Pacific
road, and while this structure was any
thing but acceptable to some of the par
ties concerned, all of them entered into
the contract rather than close the works.

FELL DOWN AN AREAWAY.
Samuel George Read, the News.
dealer, Meets With a Very
Painful Accident.

A little before 7.o'clock last evening,
Mr.. Samuel George Read, the venerable
newsdealer who has small store diagon-
ally across from the Gift House, on Third
South street, closed his store and crossed
the street with the intention OF taking the
street car 10 the d. & X. q. depot, near
which he resides. Having few minutes
to wait for the car, he stood leaning, it is
claimed, against the railing OF the area
way on the south side OF the Palace Hotel
building and Lust nave, i'm some way,
lost his balance and was precipitated
head foremost down the areaway, striking
with unbroken force on the rough gravel
flooring below. He was rendered uncon-
scious by the fall, and was pulled out OF
the stairway Il few moments later by
some boys who heard the unfortunate
mans groans.
He was carried to Dr. Higgins drug
store, north of the Cliff House, and re-
ceived such relief as DR.. Bowers, who
happened to be at the drug store, could
give. 1t was found that he had sustained
some very serious injuries, his left thigh
being broken, and two ugly-looking
gashes on the head explained the cause
OF his Inconsistencies. After removing
moned Dr. Benedict, and the broken limb
received the necessary attention ut his
hands.
There are conflicting accounts as to
how the accident happened, some claim
ing that Mr.. Read, who is rs years of age
and very near sighted, walked into the
areaway in the dark, there being at the
east end no further protection than a
couple OF frail iron bars stretched across,
reaching not more than thirty inches
from the ground. The account which
seems the most credible is the one briefly
given above. Mr.. Read had bundle of
papers under one arm and some books
under the other, and it is thought that in
leaning against the low rail he lost his
footing, and i'm the darkness and with
both arms engaged, he was unable to
catch himself.
Whichever version may prove correct
will not change the fact that the stairway
in which the accident occurred is in a
shamefully unsafe condition and reflects
discredit on the owner of the property, if
not also on the city officials whose duty
it is to see that such places are secure
against the possibility OF such accidents.
The probability is that it will prove
very serious if not fatal accident to Mr..
Read, who is too old and feeble to resist
a great amount of suffering, and while
there has been nothing definite done
looking to suit for damages, it is rumored
that such an action may be taken in JUS
tice TO the unfortunate gentleman. who is
in no position financially to endure the
hardships thrust upon him. In the event
Of suit for damages, it is claimed that
both the city and the property-owner may
be held liable.

Wear and Tear of Gold.

The annual loss of gold by attrition,
shipwreck, fires, etc., is very small, not
quite two tons, or e2S0,0Oe. According
to Jevons, gold coin loses two per cent.
in one hundred years-that is, e14O, 900
per annum on the actual amount, $780,
100000. The loss by shipwreck can
not possibly be higher than one-sixth
OF the ratio of loss in sea borne mer-
chandise-say co for every e1,0O0
shipped, and as the quantity of sea
borne gold in 1S71-SO averaged ESQ, AGO.,
600 per annum, the loss by shipwreck
would be e101 900. If we allow e32 900
for loss by fires, we make up total wear
and tear of e2S0,000 or two tons, the ex-
listing stock being a trife under 1000
tons. McCulloch used to reckon for jew
elers, loss, wear and tear, ETC., about Il
per cent, which would be nearly "a, 000.-

LIGHTNING LETTER CARRIERS.
An Invention that is to RevoIu-
tionize the System and Supplant
the Telephone.

Henry Clay, the electrician OF this city,
is about to introduce a gigantic system of
electropneumatic transit, which he de-
clares will revolutionize the present sys-
tenn of mail carriage and the transmits
sion of intelligence by telephone. The
scheme is one OF vast proportions and
elaborate detail, and is founded on a new
plan of transmission by pneumatic tubes
controlled and governed by electrical APP
pliances. Mr.. Clay last year obtained
letters patent on the invention in Europe
and in this country, and is now taking
steps, in connection with George w. Brat
ton, towards organizing stock company
to cover the United States and several
companies in Europe. The tubes are to
be laid under ground. They will be made
OF brass and through them will be trans
mitted metallic carriers or receptacles
adapted to the need of the business de-
sired. At convenient points will be
placed machines for introducing the COM
pressed air that moves the metallic car
riers and also the electric current, which
is a valuable adjunct OF the pneumatic
system of Mr.. Clay. AS the current of
air travels through the tubes the carriers
containing articles to be transferred are
carried along with it. The plant when
fully established will be worked on what
will be known respectively as the conse-
cutive, special and exchange systems.
These systems will be adapted for the
transmission OF mail between street let
ter-boxes and postoffices; for special de-
-liveries to and from certain points; for
private consultation and the transmission
of moneys, stocks and bonds between
brokers and banks and business men and
manufacturing establishments; for the
rapid delivery of packages from stores to
districts nearest the address of the pur-
chaser, and for the transmission of in
telligenee between police patrols and the
Central Station.
The system differs materially from the
present pneumatic tube systems in this
particular, that whereas at present sew
eral tubes are required to run from one
central point to those radiating from it,
by the new arrangement OF electrical de-
vices switches and carriers are sent from
the main tube leading from the central
point to the various branches, with
great saving in expense in tubing. One
line of tube will suffice for all stations,
just as do the water mains.
Messrs. Clay and Bratton are confident
that by this invention they will get even
with the Bell Telephone Company. with
whom they had such great lawsuit last
winter, since by this new system mes
sagcs can be transmitted with so much
greater speed. secrecy and general salts
faction. Philadelphia Times

A pETRlFIED HUMAN HEAD
Dug Out Fen Feet Under the Ground
AT bennington.

One Of the most curious phenomena
which have been unearthed at any time
in this locality was yesterday brought to
light by gentleman in bennington,
who, in digging well on his premises,
discovered, at depth of ten feet, petri-
fed human head in remarkably fine
state of preservation. The head is that
OF Il man probably OF middle age-there
being sufficient evidences of well-devel-
oped mustache and beard to warrant the
presumption-and the features of the face
are SO we'll retained that one could almost
fancy that an expression of serene COM
placence is still partially visible.
The forehead is receding one-one in
which, according to phrenology, the per-
ceptive or literary observing organs are
largely predominant The back. part of
the head is not SO well preserved; indeed
there remains a very small portion OF the
extreme back part, and the whole is
coated over with fine earth-colored sand
which may be easily removed. The back
part is soft and will admit very readily of
the insertion of any sharp-pointed instru-
ment, while the face is hard and intact.
A perfect roundness or fullness of the
features contributes much to the natural
ness Of expression which the face still
wears, the nose being pointed and admi
rably preserved.
1t is believed that an expert or critical
examination would reveal much of the
interior OF the forehead and brain in an
undisturbed state. The phenomenon, if
it may be termd so, is exhibited at
Godbe, Pitts & Co. IS drug store, in a glass
case, and is the property of f. Whiteside
O'Conner, messenger of the Pacific
Express company, who obtained it at
Leamingt station as the train stopped
on its run northward yesterday Mr..
O'Conner saw some men handling it in
the store which is close to the depot, and
secured it, at what cost we were not in
forna1 .

Utah Hot Springs.

General p. f. Conner, who has re-
turned from the New Orleans Exposition,
in speaking of Utah's exhibits says that
nothing attracted so much interest as the
mineral waters from the Utah Hot
Springs. II had already become 4 daily
custom, the General says, for many of
the attaches and others around the Ex-
position to call for their wonted drink,
and by everybody the water was pro-
nounced marvellous. 1t is about time
that the people of Salt Lake were awak-
ening to an appreciation OF the wonderful
properties which these waters contain.
for it has long been known that they
possess powerful medicinal qualities and
have in number of cases worked re-
markable cures.

OUR NEW POSTMASTER.
w. q. BrOwc the Lucky Man-He
Will File His $50. 900 Bonds
immediately.

The press dispatches to-day contain in
formation that will shed light and dark
ness alike in Salt Lake. To Mr.. w. c.
Browe, himself-the fortunate appointee
and to his numerous friends, the effect
will he anything but darkness, as was
evinced by the hearty congratulations
which were showered upon the gentle
man in one continuous stream this after
noon, commencing almost before the
wires over which the news was transmit
ted from Washington became cold. The
darkness will fall on the several other
aspirants, each of whom up to the last mo-
ment chung anNiously to the hope that the
wind of favor might blow his way. Mr..
Browe has probably received from time to
time something in the nature of assur-
ances, but was noticeably affected when
our reporter crowded through the throng,
10 interview the gentleman.
In reply to the question as to when he
would enter upon official duties, he mod
estly informed the reporter that his con-
iirmation by the Senate, approval of
bonds and several other matters neceSsa-
rily entered into the consideration, and
would prevent his saying anything def
mite. He will, however, at once furnish
the necessary $4,000 bonds, and it is
thought that before they can be approved
and returned the confirmation from the
Senate will be had AT all events, Mr..
Browe expects to be ensconced behind
the windows of the Postofiice within three
or four weeks.
A host OF applicants for positions have
besieged Mr.. Browe ever since he was
known to be in the race for office, and it
is probable the crowd will be augmented
now that the matter of the appointment
is really settled.

"MANY CITIZENS OF EpHRA1M.y
An Answer by Jacob Johnson to the
Allegations Against the
ssWhisky Chief Of
Sanpete.1

| Ed. DEMOCRAT: / notice a communica-
ton in your issue OF the 18th ult., under
date of December 9Th, and signed "Many
Citizens OF Ephraim," which, as it is
directed at one of the leading citizens Of
this town, demands notice and answer.
The idiot who penned that communica-
ton must be E Pluribus Unum, kindred
spirits, or he would not ask the questions
he does. He forgets that the man he
seeks to attack under nom de plume is,
and always has been, his superior in
morals or in any other way, and that he
and many people here know this to be a
fact. "Many Citizens of Ephraim" says ::
town of Ephraim." Does he know Paul
VanNordick? who keeps a place where
liquor may be obtained. He pays to the
city government license Of So per quar-
ter for the same. "Many Citizens OF
Ephraim" should confine himself to the
truth, for if he cannot have "the whisky
chief OF Sanpete," as he is pleased to call
VanNordick, removed from his office by
fair means, he will never succeed in
having him removed at all. The venom
he seeks to cast upon others will rebound
upon himself. 1t is fact that the person
your correspondent assails is the possessor
OF from Is, 900 to 100000 bushels of grain,
but did he not raise or purchase every
bushel of said grain? Did ever bushel
of it come to him for whisky Sold? Let
me ask "Many Citizens of Ephraim"
few questions:
Were you not removed from the office
you now seek on account of intoxication?
Was not "the Whisky Chief OF Sanpete"
one OF your bontlsmen?
We're you not sent to the county Jail for
threatening his lite and property?
Was he not appointed to the very Office
from which you were removed?
Have you not ever since been conspir-
ing against him and to have him removed
from the office you disgraced and which
he fills with credit?
Have you not used every foul means in
your power or that Of your few friends to
accomplish this end? Is it not fact
that "the Whisky Chief of Sanpete" pays
more taxes in one year than you ever did
in your whole life; donates as much to
the poor per annum as you formerly spent
for whisky? Is his paper not worth 100
cents on the dollar whilst yours is not
worth two cents on the dollar? Is his
word not good when yours is worthless
If you cannot answer these questions
yourself, then turn to your neighbors, or
the neighbors of "the Whisky Chief of
Sanpete," and you will receive an unan-
imous answer in the affirmative. If "the
Whisky Chief of Sanpete" is sowing such
widespread ruin in Ephraim amongst the
friends of "Many Citizens of Ephraim,"
why doesn't he step to the front and
prove in a court OF justice his many ale
cations, and thus punish the "inhuman
fends," as he has so often threatened to
do, instead of resorting to foul, under
handed tricks and devices, falsified by
ingenuity and malice.
Let him for once in his life come out
like man and do his work open and
above board, and stand by the facts; if
he cannot succeed thus in his scheme,
then he never can succeed.

SILVER REEF AND FRISCO.
Favorable horn silver Advices-Ee.
locating New Years Eye-HdIe
Men at the Eseef.

John A. Kirby has been engaged to
take charge OF the Campbell mill at Mil
ford.
The ore body in the Adella mine, North
Star, holds out well and is yielding good
returns.
1t is expected that 100 miners will be
added to the Horn Silver force on the 10th
instant.
The Comet property has been attached
notices are posted.
Mr.. Cox, OF Beaver, an Oxford gradu;
ate, has been engaged by the Frisco
school directors to open the district
school.
Silver Reef is overrun with idle men
going from the north. The bastile was
occupied several nights last week by
financially busted strangers.
The scene on Main street, Christmas
afternoon and evening, was the liveliest
that Silver Reef has experienced since
the sandstone diggings were struck. The
saloons did rushing business, while the
sidewalks were crowded with hilarious
men. There were some eight or ten
scrapping-matches reported, but they
proved to be of a trifling nature and no
one was seriously injured.
There must have been favorable adj
vices sent from the deep workings of the
Horn Silver mine to have given it a
boom. There has been more prospecting
done on the property within the last nine
months than has been done since the
mine was discovered. A commodious
three-compartment shaft is now down
nearly 400 feet, with connecting drifts
and wines on every level, and there is
reason to believe that ore shipments can
be resumed at any time, and will be soon
Notwithstanding the fact that New
Years Eve was nlpping night, the
mountains around Frisco were covered
with prospectors who were camping upon
their own or abandoned claims waiting
for the midnight bell to mark the hour
for posting notices of location. 1t was
hard night on the boys, but the POSSIBLE
ity of thus easily renewing their hold
upon lapsed claims and securing aban-
doned ground, lightened up the gloom.
For years, many of these poor prospec-
tors have camped on their claims in the
hope of some time selling out at q good
figure, and in the end they will walk out
of camp and leave them for some other
poor devil to lose sleep over.
