SILVER MOUNTAIN, ALIAS GRA.
HAM,

Twas III the fall of the year, when the
leaves were turning brown
That we rolled cur blankets up and start.
ed on journey bound
For the mountalns-grand old mountains
the paradise Of the land,
To work upon the wagon road in Moses
little band.
Nose Kempner was the contractor to
whom we did apply.
Under his foreman he put us, whose
"Force" did make US fly,
And paid US fifty dollars for thirty hard
days work,
And fed us by camp fire, as handsome
as Turk.
And at last we all arrived at the wilder
ness SO deep .
The wilderness where Mr. Boydsat the
ledges took peep.
"Silver, lots of silver therep' he did re-
turn and say,
"And we will build grand old MILL
and it will surely pay"
Then all the boys were soon employed to
work upon grade;
But some of them grew tired holding
the handle of spade.
Then gambling, drink and carcusing wild
were freely resorted TO
Till Bill and Charley wound them up and
sent 'cm up the flue.
When at last grim winter hoary, who had
appeared so slow,
Was chillingly apparent made, by the
falling of the snow,
Then many of the boys were shipped
where grub was not so high,
And where their thirsty appetites would
| not be quite SO dry.
Completed was the mill site grade in
about two months or more
Then all the merciful "tarryers'' with
hands 50 very sore,
Rock upon rock were piliug, up so very
|
high,
To hold up the heavy banks, but they ir
vain did try.
In the spring of 'eighty-eight the boys
were hard to find.
Out drilling with old Matt were they, oil
the line-"do ye mind"
To Graham. yes. TO Graham, sure Weir
bound to go
To reap our harvest in the land of ever
lasting snow.
Then throngs of boys did gather in
from camps both far and near,
One of the grandest mills to build, in tn
"Gem of the Mountains" dear.
But many, many of the boys, were OF
; from labor laid,
And niue big dollars per week was tn
price for grub they paid.
Last June a row was started, by roug
! and rowdy band.
J, Young Tobe Pitts was victim first Of I'll
murderer's blood stained hand;
Pitt Smith, the Sheriff's deputy, was Il
second man to fall;
e Jack Townsend was an innocent ma
r shot by glancing ball.
J. The mill is now completed, and is strut
n ure fine.
IS The stamps are making music on the o
of the lofty julia mine.
NAV success the efforts crown OF Il
e company true and brave,
Any may their mines as wealthy prove
- any nature ever made.

At a late meeting of the Institute
of Mining Engineers, held at Buffalo,
DIR. Julius Pohlman presented
sketch of his views on the "Life His
tory of Niagara Falls" in which he
took the ground, celebrating his evil
dence, that the falls have not cut
their way back from Lewiston, but
from a point about Whirlpool rapids
He also condemned the opinion so
generally held that the falls moved
upward at a slow rate, by showing
that between 1871 and 1So6-45
years-the first and last surveys
made, the Horseshoe falls went back
4S5 feet, or at the rate OF about nine
feet a year. The doctors address
was received with much attention and
favor. and he was urged to present
his paper in fuller form to be EN-
bodied in the published transactions
of the association.

The Same Result Everywhere.

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
writing from Chestertown of the practical
operation Of the prohibition law in Kent
county says:
"As local option as il is termed, is con-
Quoted in this town and county, it is nearly
failure. At this term of court this county is
SO fortunate as to have q searching and in
quiring set OF men on the grand jury, and they
have done their best to bring to justice the
violators of the law. Judge Wicks in his
charge to the jury called special attention to
the law against gambling and liquor selling.
Every citizen who takes any interest in pub
lie affairs has had good reason to believe that
this demoralizing business has been prosecu-
ted for the past few years with brazen etfron-
terry in this community, to the disgrace and
almost utter ruin Of young men, the greater
corruption of older men, and the greater deg
radiation of our town in the estimation of
the world at large. The whole community
has been hoping for suppression of THESE vio-
latons, and is interested in the discovery and
punishment of the breakers of these laws, the
violation of which is an existing and growing
vice. When the grand jury, after having ex-
amined more than one hundred witnesses,
brought in twenty charges for gambling and
selling intoxicating drinks, there was gener.
al surprise and excitement throughout the
town, and who will be next' is the general
interrogatory. Many as usual, have left the
town on business but the Judge ordered
them to be summoned when they return.
Some Of these violators belong to what are
chartered as musical and literary clubs,
whose members pay weekly dues, and their
right to furnish liquor, etc, will be tested
this week"

"The Tracks All 60 One Way"

4erre Haute ilnu.) GaZette.
Once upon time lion in his cave sent
word to the beasts of the forest that he would
give Protection to all of them if they would
come to see him in his Cave, and each bring
him small quantity OF provisions, which, he
said, would not be much compared with the
benefits of his Protection. The beasts all
went into the Cave, each with provisions for
the Lion. The first to go in were the Ass,
Sheep and the Hare, and the rest followed
their eXamples-all but the Fox, who warily
stayed away. Then the Lion sent the Jackal
to see the Fox, to induce him to come, with
many fair speeches. But the Fox said: mo,
/ would rather be excused, because l noticed
to-day that the tracks all go one way all
going into the Cave and none coming out"
MORAL.
This fable teaches that you should not
put your faith in princes and Plumed knights
or Carnegies or Opulent Lords of the loom
when they profess so anxious desire to "pro-
tect" the farmer and the laboring man. Imi-
tate the wisdom of the fox and you will see
that the tracks all go one way, and that way
to place where the beasts are all devoured.
The rich become richer and the poor poorer.
The capitalist makes $4,000 day, like Car
negie, while the poor laboring man has to
fight against 10 per cent. reduction of
his wages; the farmers of the great West are
so burdenedby taxation that they can hardly
make both ends meet-with their farms mort
gagged in ten States for more than So, 900 000,-
900. Initiate the wisdom of the fox rather
than the stupidity Of the ass, and you will
see that the tracks all go one way.
