Finding a Fortune.

1t was on June 6, 1856, that FrauA
L. Daggett, an enterprising prOspector,
was climbing the side of Lynx Creek
Mountain. about twelve miles east of
Prescott. The usual kit of a prOspector,
consisting of pick and shovel, were
swung over his shoulder. When well
up the mountain he stopped beneath
the projecting boughs OF juniper tree
TO rest. He fell into a slumber- and,
on awakening, gathered up his pick and
shovel to pursue his journey, his OBJ
jectiVe point being gOld-beaTing
quartz claim on the other side of the
mountain, which he intended to p-O5-
pect. In throwing his pick TO hIs
shoulder it slipped, and, falling behind
him, its sharp point struck his leE,
causing great pain. He picked it up,
and, with a vehement oath, stuck IL
into the ground impetuOusly, saying
that it could remain there. Walking
on few steps. and the pain easing
somewhat, he changed his mind aud
returned for his pick. On pulling II
up some shining metal was raised with
it. He had accidentally struck hls
pick into a blind ledge, which IS now
known as the Amulet Mine, and from
which there has been shipped 500, ,0JL
worth of hIgh-grade ore. lie took in

Handiwork in the Public Schools

In these days, when the struggle fol-
bread grows constantly more severe, 1t
is of the greatest Importance that the
youth of the country shall be sent into
life properly fa.ed for the struggle. 1t
should be the purpose of a public or
free school system to so prepare and lit
them. Do public schools do this7 Every
body, even those who form the vast
ring which mismanages them, knows
that they do not, but that, on the con-
trary, the whole tendency OF the sys-
tenn as 1t Is mismanaged is to disable
the pupils, to send them out in the
world untitled for the task before
them.
Our public schools ought to breed
men and women. As they are now and
have long been misused, they breed
clerks and shop girls. That is to say,
they prepare millions of youths who at
tend them for avocatIons which are al
ways overcrowded, and unfit them for
any others. The system has thus be-
come vast injury to the country. a
proper public school system would
teach spelling, reading, writing, geo
graphy and drawing, and having ac-
quired these fundamentals the pupils
should then be drawn into free tech
nical schools, where both boys and
girls should be thoroughly taught the
use of tools of all kinds. In that way
they would be really fitted for practical
life.
In Sweden and some other European
countries boys are thus taught to be
! gardener s, carpenters. blacksmiths.
They are made, as part of their school
education, to know useful handicrafts
in many branches. The girls are taught
10 sew, to cook and housewifely duties
IN general. The result is that the
| young men and women so taught do
not lack employment wherever they
may wander; they do not drift into
factoriesi They get on In life. Well
in 10 OF the 40 Brooklyn public schools,
| after two years and a half of struggle,
young girl may give one hour of her
saturdays hoejay to being taught
sewing. 1t is quite wonderful But
at any rate it is beginning.

TIE report of Chief E. o. Graves, Of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing,
for the fiscal year 1855 shows not only
that the production of securities during
the year exceeded that OF any previous
year in the history OF the bureau but
that the results have been accomplished
by the adoption of simpler methods oil
doing business, the discharge Of SUPER
luous employees, the abolition OF IN
necessary places and the exaction OF
greater diligence In the discharge OF
duty and Of higher standard OF quail

Old Maids Music.

All down the long. narrow street
The windows were wide all day;
The musks and the pinks smell sweet
In the boxes over the way.
The night is night of June,
When the Summer flowers are born
And, above a sickle moon
Hangs DER the coming corn
No sigh of the past is there,
And the silence spellful feels,
When out ON the dreamy air
The Old Maids music steals.
1t seems Ike a story told
That must fill the eyes with tears
So sweet, SO wistful, SO old,
That ditty OF fifty years.
Even as listen and hear,
Those years roll back between,
And the long ago draws near,
TIL look on what has been.
And Il sound of footsteps rings,
And the shadows move below
While she lifts her voice and sings
The ditty of long ago.
And see two figures pace
Together with lingering feet;
And now tits n girls white face
That looks down the empty street.
And see her lean and gaze,
And the crowd is black below
But the Old Maid sits and plays
NAT utt'y 0t i0ng ago.
lis light in the narrow street,
To-day is the longest day;
The musks and the pinks smell swsse
In the boxes over the way.

IN A decision as to reasonable rail-
road rates on cotton the Interstate
Commerce COMMISSIONERS to the root
of the matter, when it says: "Whether
railroad companies combine or act
separately in making rates and charges
is not so important, the essential
requirement is that, however made,
they shall be reasonable OF themselves
and so fairly adjusted rs to be reason
able in their relations to each other and
in their results" In other words, pools
and combinations to nx rates are not
evils per sc, but evils only when they
result in unjust determinations anu
overcharges. Though one might sup
pose this to be an obviously true propo-
sition, demagogues have so broadly
denounced all trusts and combinations
OF capital that it is necessary to restate
1t occasionally in the interest alike oil
truth and justice.

Capt. Custer and the Chief

.'It Is a source of wonder to the
whites" says Mr. McFadden, "that
the bodies of General Custer and his
brother Tom were not mutilatei IN the
massacre. 1t Is well known that the
treacherous chief Rain-in-the-Faceh had
sworn that he would eat Tom Custer's
heart. The way he came TO make that
threat was this:
''Rain-ln-the-Face had committed
some depreciation in Nebraska for
which he was wanted by the United
States officers horse stealing, think
it was. lie took refuge at Standing
Rock, and Gen. Custer sent a sergeant
with a detail from Fort Lincoln to
bring him in. The sergeant was COM
PEELED to return without his prisoner.
The General then said to his brother,
Tom, go to Standing Rock and bring
back Rain-in-the-Face or leave your
own body there The captain, who
never refused to obey orders, started on
his errand with detail OF cavalry.
.It so happened that the day he
reached Standing Rock was the day on
which raticns were issued at the
agency. There were fully 5000 Indians
a. the place. Capt. Custer placed his
detail SO as to surround the trading
/ post. He dismounted, and with a re-
yOlyer in one hand and a sword in the
other, entered the building. When he
| got inside he asked, Where is Rain-in-
l the -FaceP' Silence fell on the room,
which was crowded with friends Of the
| chief. The captain then told the
/ interpreter to point out Rain-in-the-
Face. This was done, and stepping up
to him the intrepid cavalry officer
/ placed the muzzle of his revolver at the
| Indians head and said:
'Rain-in-the-Face want you. II
you make an attempt to escape III
shoot you. If your friends interfere
l will blow your brains out. / have
but one life to lose, and if they shoot
me you VIII die also.'
''Rain-in-the-Face said he would
submit, but on going out at the door
he said: 1t is your turn now, but some
day will eat your hsart.'"

nineteen samples were la6en OF mat
ural waters which there seemed to be
fair grounds for believing have actually
caused disease.n But only four of
these were rejected as unwholesome, as
to nine, or one-half, there was no agree
ment. and six, or one-third, were pro-
nounced wholesome by all the pro-
cesses. Then twenty samples were
taken Of natural water of doubtful but
suspected character, and as to these the
results were really more upfayorabIe
than as TO the waters known to be dan
gerous. The most remarkable of all
the tests were with twenty samples of
good water, to which were added va
rious pollutious, such as sewerage from
various sources, black vomit and like
offensive and poisonous substances.
Only eight of these samples, less than
half, were condemned by all the pro-
cesses, as to nine the reports did not
agree and three the processes actually
cOncurred in pronouncing good.

a life insurance policy made payable to
a mans wife or children cannot under
any circumstances be attacked by his
creditors after his death. In the case

that the man was Insolvent when he took
the policy out, and that the money that
was paid as premiums upon it was not
his own, but trlonged to his creditors.

Merchants and the Agencies.

AS the business of the mercantile
agencies is becoming better understood
the attitude of the merchants toward
them has undergone a very great
change. 1t used to be that the agen-
cies were regarded as pernlcious spies
in the commercial world, and the po-
lite interrogatorIes of our agents, ask
ing for statements OF business standing,
were looked uno1 as impertinent. Very
often the business man, when so ques-
toned, would fatty refuse to answer.
OF course this fact we communicated,
as in duty bound to the creditors, who
had made through US, the inquiries,
and the effect was not to quiet any
alarm that might have been felt about
the debtors condition, but often an un-
comfortable squeezing Of the merchant
resulted. Within the last ten years
the agencies have been recognized as
powerful and legitimate aids to the
mercantile trade, and the questions of
our agents touching the condition of
this or that firm are met with answers
that are straightforward and, in the
main, candid and satisfactory. When
ever a business man is known to desire
a concealment of his affairs, the mani
festation of that desire creates more
suspicion than even lame statement,
