Did ever anyone see a jolly dyspeptic2
We trow not. What natural cheerfulness
is proof against the almost ceaseless bodily

whose stomachs are constantly disturbed
exhibit the utmost peevishness and nerv-

themselves into the grave-tranqrility OF

await them in a sure quarter, if they will

WHILE we have no desire to be fiippant
over the matter. which We really regard n
unfortunate to the whole territory, we
cannot help inquiring whether the sus-
pension Of the glassworks at Laramie is
ally due to Republican success in the
late territorial contest. 1t was stated
with a good deal of seriousness by the
Laramie papers during the campaign that
the passage Of the Mills bill would mean
the closing up of every manufacturing
industry in the Gown, and it was further
stated that any plassblower who voted the
Democratic ticket (or virtually endorsed
the alleged free trade idea) deserved to be
drawn and duartered, or words to hat
effect. Nothing better illustrates the
demasoGical political methods of the Re
pnblicans this year than Il few facts of
this sort. The protection idea prevailed

LEAVE WE'LL ENOUGH ALONE

LEAVE WE'LL ENOUGH AL ONE.
With all the vastness OF u present
landed possessions there are yet aspiring
minds in the country who are not satisfied
with what we already have but are reach
ing out for more. Representative Butter
worth OF Ohio possesses one of those as
piriug minds and proposes with much
g~randiloqueuce the absorption Of Canada.
Considering the only partial develop
ment Of the Western section these United
States are already sufficiently large for all
practical purposes. We own now. includ-
ing Alaska, $500, 900 square miles of ter
ritory. Canada, with lis possessions
stretching indefinitely toward the north
pole. is almost equally large. Combined
they would prove unwieldy ever if they
could be amalgamated Mt all.
The best proof that this country is
already large enough is found in the fact
that very few of even the best educated
people in tie East have any lust concep-
tiun of the extent, possibilities or posses.
sons Of the region which they indefinitely
term the West. Here we have vast
scopes of country for which the govern
mcnt has done literally nothing except
perhaps to retard their growth. The
people themselves have been left to fight
their own hard battles, under new condi-
tons and circumstances, but they are,
unaidcd, carving out for themselves a
future tina. must soon rival the East in
wealth and population. The interests of
our common country are already sufi
GENTLY diversified. Even now the inter
est of one section may almost prove the
damna'ion of another section, so radically
different are our varying want and needs.
With millions of acres of land still un-
claimed, with a population thinly scat
tered as it vet is in many Western states
and territories, and hidden
OF stupendous value still undevel-
opcd, the people Of the United States
have yet a glorious work before them at
home without setting forth to conquer
other worlds.
Rome, in the midst of a compact little
territory, was once the mistress of the
world. Its greed for a tremendous do
main set in and its magnificent but widely
scattered empire tumbled with a crash,
whose reveberating echo should prove a
warning to all aitercoming generations.
Our territorial possessions are now vast.
Instead of seeking to extend them let us
make the most OF what we have, and de.
velop them in the West to the same de-.
gree they are now developed in the East.
Having done this, the time will then be
ripe to consider the common sense of the

There was one n mechanic at Bris-
tol, England, who had Il queer dream.
Watts was his name, and he was by
trade "A shot maker. The making Of
the little leaden pellets was then a
slow, laborious and, consequently,
costly process. Watts had 10 take
great bars of lead and pound them out
into sheets Of a thickness about equal
TO the diameter of the shot he desired
to make. Then he cut the sheets into
little cubes, which he placed in n re-
volving barrel or box and rolled until
the edges wore off from the constant
friction and the little cubes became
spheroids.
Watts had often racked his brain
trying TO devise n better scheme, but
in vain: Finally, after an evening
spent with some jolly companions at
the alehOuse lie went home and turned
into bed. He soon fell into a deep
sIumbcr, but the liquor evidently did
not agree with him for lie had a bad
dream. he thought he was out again
with the boys" They were all try
ing to find their way home when it
began TO rain shot. Beautiful glob-
ules of lead, polished and shining fell
IN a torrent and compelled him and
his bibulous companions to draw their
heavy limbs to a place of shelter.
In the morning, when Watts arose,
lie remembered the dream. He thought
about it all day, and wondered what
shape molten lead would take in fall
ing a distance through the air. At
last, when he could rest no longer, he
carried a ladleful of the hot metal up
into the steeple OF the church of st.
Mary, of Radcliffe, and dropped it
into the moat below. Descending, he
took from the bottom OF the shallow
pool several handfuls of perfect shot,
far superior to any he had ever seen.
Watts fortune was made, for he had
conceived the idea of the shot tower,
which has ever since been the only
means employed in the manufacture
Of the little missiles SO much used in
var and sport.-Chicago Mail

The Scotch miner has many ways of
amusing himself. Quoits is n favorite
game of his, SO is a game called
''roundersn-a sort of bastard cricket
and cricket itself is popular among the
younger men, but with them football
is the favorite pastime. Deaping, run
ming, throwing the hammer, and toss
ing the caber are all practiced, and in
some parts a game called bullet play
ing" is in high favor. l have never
seen this played except in the Lothians
and Stirlingshire, and there it was at
onc time the crack amusement. Rather
q peculiar amusement it is, too. 1t is
played in this manner: A certain dis
lance, say a mile out and a mile in, is
fixed upon as the ground to be covered
by the players, and the man who does
so in the fewest number of throws is
declared the winner. The bullet is a
polished ball of hard whinstone, and
weighs from ten to fourteen ounces,
and this ball the player takes into his
hand, and, running to a line drawn on
the roadway, he swings his arm and
throws with all his might. This is
termed ''hainching the bullet, and a
good player car cover the mile in five
or six throws.
The game is one mainly of strength,
but a good deal of skill can be shown
in it. Each player has a man in front
to show where the bullets should be
landed, and his business is TO see that
if his directions are followed the bullet
of his player will have the best part Of
the road to run on. The game is always
played on the best highway in tho
neighborhood, and the authorities OBJ
ject to it MS being dangerous, although
| never have heard of any accident
arising therefrom. A bullet match is
to the Scotch miner what a dog fight
is to his Northumbrian or Staffordshire
congener, or a prize fight to an East
End Londoner. The fact that it is for
hidden by law adds to its attractive
ness, and it affords ample opportunities
for betting. Bets are made on the
throw, on the distance out, and on the
complete match, and when two "dons"
are played the excitement runs high.

We offer no apology for devoting so much time

best services OF the profession TO which we be-

the physician who devotes himself
to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, is no less n

 LEoMINsrER, Masst July 1a-The Rev. O. D. Kimball late pastor of the Baptist church in West Newton, and formerly pastor of the Baptist church in this town. has writ ten to three of his followers confeesing the truth of the charges brought against him in West Newton by five members of the local society. and which accused him of the com mission of the most revolting and criminal acts
 The charges were investigated by an ex- parte council, the clergyman was exonerated. and the five members were dismissed from the church. A majority of the society ao- cepted the verdict, but strong minority, believing that the charges had been sus- tained withdrew from membership.
 MT. Kimball in his letters declares that he is guilty of the offenses as charged, and states that he cannot longer bear the thought that his concealment of the truth has caused the innocent to suffer and the church to be dis rupted. He says that be has retired from the ministry and left West Newton.
 Whether or not he has left his wife and two children cannot be determined. It Is known, however, that Mrs. Kimball has been in New London, Conn, for some time. Her husband Is at present travelling through New York state In his letters he urges the le-essablishment of the old spirit of harmony and love within the church, expressing the hope that his voluntary admission will bring 1t about

 ROCHESTER, N. Y., July 1S.-Mr. Hiram Sibley, the famous philanthropist of Roches- ter, died at his home in that city yesterday in the S1st year of his age. He was we'll known throughout the country through his many deeds of charity, and was a generous donor to the Rochester university and to the city of Rochester. He founded the Sibley College of Mechanic Arts of Cornell uni versity, endowing it with $10O, ,000, and built Sibley hall, in Rochester, at an equal cost
 Mir. Sibley was born in North Adams, Mass, and took up his permanent residence in Rochester in 1S4S, at which time he had already made name and fortune for him. Self
 An early associate of Professor Morse in establishing and promoting the electric tele- graph business, he, in cooperation with Morse and Ezra Cornell, had much to do with obtaining, in 1869, the famous appro- priation from congress of a subsidy for ten years of $4O, ,000 per year for constructing and operating line to the Pacific.
 The Overland Telegraph company was
 organized about the same time in San Fran
 cisco. The two companies, uniting their in- terests, formed the Pacific Telegraph com- pany. Meanwhile the work of building was begun, and on Nov. 15, 1861, it was an nounced that the line from ocean to ocean was open for business-just four months and sleven days from the time work upon its construction was first begun. This line was
 profitable one from the start and on March IT, 1864, it became the property of the West
 srn Union company.
 MT. Sibley had been mainly instrumental
 in organizing the New York and Mississippi Valley Printing company, which in 1854
 leased the lines of the Lake Erie Telegraph company At this time Ezra Cornell was ir possession of valuable grants under the Morse patent and had control of the Erie and Mich igan Telegraph company. After much nego tiation the two companies controlled by Mir Sibley and Mir Cornell were united by ar act of the Wisconsin legislature dated Marcl {, 1856, and of the New York legislature month later, under the name of the Westerr Union Telegraph company.
 After the completion of the Pacific lin, ! MT. Sibley devoted his energies to the scheme \ of the overland route to Russia Survey were made and the line was built as far a ! Skeena river in Alaska, when the laying O ! the Atlantic cable put an end to the enter ! prise, and it was abandoned.
