Points for TOol-Workers.

A Pittsburg steel firm has sent out a card designed for tool workers, and it contains so much that is good that we reprint it entire as follows:
 Don't forget to specify the purpose for which steel ordered is to be used. You have no idea how much moro likely you are to get what you want by doing this.
 Don't forget that tho grain of we'll hardened and broken piece of steel IS much finer than that of the bar it was taken from. If the grain be as coarse as, or coarser than, the original bar, the heat used (whatever it may have been) was too high to refine the steel in hard ening.
 Don't decide the quality of any bar of steel by the appearance of it's grain. The coarseness or ineness depends much more on the heat at which it left the hammer or rolls than on its quality.
 Don't try to harden any bar of steel without first removing the scale from it. You will certainly be disappointed if you do, as the outside is likely to b, soft enough to file easily.
 Don't try to harden the largo tools in a small bath or still water.
 Life Prolonged by Artificial Means. Miss Carrie Miller, handsome young lady of Lexington, S. C., has died un- der peculiarly distressing circumstances after many months of excruciating suf- fering. About year ago her mother had a jug of wine and one of lye in the same pantry. The young lady poured out glass of wine, as she thought, and tasted it, but it proved to be the lye in- stead. As soon as she had swallowed it she exclaimed: "Oh, mother, I have drank the lye instead of wiue, and now it will kill me-" With these words she fell fainting to the floor. Everything that human hands could do was done for her. At times she would appear tc be all right, then would relapse again. For the last four months nothing had entered her stomach in the natural way, as the canal that carries the food was completely closed up and during this period she was kept alive by artificial methods. - Gin cinnati Enquirer.

Democratic Rally at NichOlia Lemhi
County.

NpuhtIs
The reception that was given to |
Hon. James Fl. Hawley by the citi-
.zens of this famous camp on Tuesday
evening last, beats anything we ever
saw in unbounded enthusiasm and
hearty heartfelt welcome, the town
Illuminated by monster bonfire and
the residents startled with repeated
defamation of laundering from charg-
ed anyils and the sharp reports from
guns and revolvers When Mr.. Haw-
ley alighted from the coach he was
given three soulstirring cheers as can
only be given by the stalwart miner.
The A. o. u. w. hall was filled to
overlooking by an intelligent and APP
proving audience. Mr.. Parker the pop
ular stage agent presided over the
meeting and in few appropriate re-
marks introduced the first speaker
the Democratic nominee for the Dele
gateship, who for solid hour held
the audience spellbound whilst.
He delivered one of the most forcible
and statesmanlike speeches ever list
ened to in the Territory. His irresti-
able logic and clearreasoning was
well received by the hearers, and the
mastery reply given by the honorable
gentleman to MIR. Dubois speech was
considered complete and satisfactory
in every sense in fact so conclusive
that Republicans who have along Civ
en- a consistent support to their party
nominees declared their intention to
cast their ballots for Hawley. His
able exposition of the lead question
given by one who is conceded by all
fairminded to by practical miner
was vastly appreciated by the miners
regardless of party belief. The man
ner in which he dealt with the Nor
mon and annexation questions was
very commendable and at the conclu-
sion of his remarkably successful adj
dress loud and repeated applase sign
fled the approval of those in attend
ance.
J. FL. Cater spoke at length on the
issues of the campaign dealing extern
siyely with the Tariff Reform and
Pension questions after the close of
his remarks three loud cheers were
given for the Democratic Nominee to
Mr. Hawley suitable responded The
people would not hear of his return
next day and it was arranged that he
should speak on the Hill above town
on Wednesday evening. We cannot
help mentioning the difference in the
treatment received by the two rivals.
Mr.. Duboise met with very chilly
meeting from his few adherants and
had it not been for some fairminded
Democrats nothing would have been
done to note his arrival in town in
stead of recognizing the courtesy ex-
tended Mr.. Dubois SO are informe d
by some good Republicans walked
away from the crowd to the other
side of the street causing consider
able indignation not only amongs.
Democrats but also in his own ranks
