Mills, chairman Of the Ways and

leader Of the House, expressed his
belief that the tariff bill will be re-

The House has passed the bill re-.
firing from circulation the three cent

prove acceptable to many persons
who have been the victims of this
decel l.tivs money, and it 10 hoped
that the Senate will do likewise.
Other matters of interest discuss.
ed in the House the past week, were
the Beading railroad strike, the al
legged inefficient mail service in the
West. and the publication Of lottery

Primitive Mining in Honduras.

During my travels in Honduras last year. I found, situated several days journey in the interior, a mine that was discovered in 1S47 by native who has since continued to work it, but in 8 slow and inefficient manner The old miner has driven seven tunnels. or rather levels, averaging each about 70 yards long, about 9 feet high and about feet wide. The distance vertically between the levels is about 20 feet; the several levels arc con- nected by independent shafts about fleet by 6 feet, situated at different points, descend ing from level to level, each an average of say 29 feet Thus the total length of the seven levels equals a total of 490 yards, and feet each equals 20 feet. ''"
 Until the last eight years this native worked his mine for silver only without any assay He then discovered that he was throwing away much more value in gold than he saved fn sii~es His only mode of extract ing the gold has been, and is, by carryfng tue ore out of the mine in sack to a huge boy(ker on the surface, in which is cut 8 concavity something larger than a hat crown in size Another round powder fits into this cavity, and is worked by a wooden handle mortised into it's top. The dirt and rock from the mine is rather soft It is easily pulverized in this primitive manner, then washed and the gold gathered by quicksilver. The magni- tude of the work accomplished by this old man during the last forty years, in his poor way, is simply incredible, for he has done it all himself with single bar of iron. The natives never use powder for mining, but do all their work with short iron bar. If the work cannot thus be done they invariably abandon the mine.-Col. B. H. Powers in Globe Democrat.

MIR BLAINE'S SECOND LETTER.


 The second letter from MT Blaine which the country has been anxiously waiting for is made public to-day. In it Mir, Blaine but repeats his former uttel- ances that he is out of the race. He pos itively will not allow his name to be used, for reasons known best to himself, and only writes second letter because many. valued friends had construed the first as not absolutely conclusive in ultimate and possible contingencies. There is tone of sincerity and decisiveness in this letter which was lacking in the former one and and even the political opponents of MT Blaine will acknowledge that he has the welfare of his party at heart, when he refers to the eminent gentlemen who are candidates for the Chicago nomination, and warns the party against lack of unity or acrimonious contest over men. Mir Blaine has acted wisely in the matter. His sensitive nature would never be able to bear up under another defeat at the polls, and his political wisdom tells him that Cleveland will carry the country at the next election by an overwhelming ma jority. He has had his say in the matter, and now it would be but common courtesy for his friends to let him rest in peace. Any further attempts to make him recon slider his decision, which was given after mature deliberation, could but be regarded an insult.

NY NEIGHBoR.

you should see my neighbor at my side. Or hear tns voice that whispers in my ear, Your heart, parchance, would fail with suddel
 fear,
 And you would long from this, my Friend, td
 hide,
 Though he is just who doth with me abide, And merciful, think, and should be near; No friend of nll my life has come so near, And yet sovereign he, whose realms are wide. Full soon shall go with him from your sight, And vague as memory will be my shade; I shall have vanished like flowers spent
 breath,
 For me no more on earth of sorrow or delight, Since he, with whom journey unafraid And enter worlds know not-he is Death. Louise Chandler Moulton in Youths Com. panion

Gravity as an Expectorant.


 It is claimed that in cases of pneumonia, where there is great embarrassment of breathing from accumulation of secretion in the bronchial tubes, great benefit may often be derived by inverting the patient and hay ing him cough violently while in this posi- tion. It is easily accomplished by strong assistant standing on the patients bed, seiz ing the sick mans ankles, turning him with his face downward and then lifting his feet four or five feet above the level of the mat tress. If the patient, with his face over the edge of the bed and his legs thus held a1oft will cough vigorously two or three times, he will get rid of much expectoration that ex. haustive efforts ct coughing failed to dis lodge when not thus aided by gravity Life has been saved by repeated performances ot this maneuver in pneumonia accompanied with great cyanosis, due to inundation o1 the bronchial tubes with mucous secretion POlyclinic.

 In front of the Palais de pI2dustrie saw hundreds of carriages and. regiments of foot men, and, bent upon pleasure, penetrated into the interior, which found crowded with people who were watching red coated riders forcing unwilling horses to leap over artificial rivers and hedges and mock stone walls. And as wandered through the crowd noticed that many of the spectators held papers In their hands, on which they wrote something from time to time, mur-' muring: "One mistake-a quarter of a mis- take Oyster Sauce mounted by the vicomte de Z.n Other spectators seemed to pay no attention to horses or riders, but formed family groups of papas, mammas and bony daughters, who were presently joined by young men dressed in their Sunday best, and extremely voluble in commonplace remarks and formula of poiteness. These, con cluded, were discreet rendezvous arranged by the kind parents in order to give the young people an opportunity of inspecting each other in view of possible matr1mony.
 Ina central reserved tribune I saw men and women of high degree dukes and duchesses pale faced, fine featured, some of them re- minding you of Clouet's portraits, with their waxen cheeks so delicately tinted with anamic rose; these were the decendants of the Crusaders, of the great nobles and war riers, and courtly shoe blacks of centuries ago. Yet other spectators turned their backs toward the arena, and appeared to hang upon the lips of garrulous maidens, blonde like Milton's Eve, blonde like the angels of Dante's Purgatory, blonde like Venus. For, like the charming Florentine poet, Messer Agnolo Firenzuola, our modern Romeos will not ad- init that woman's hair can be any color but blonde; and so the fair ones are all blonde, and they wear black straw Directory hats, trimmed with til1eul ribbons of the color of in perverse manner.
