Our hotel at Butte was in nearly
the center of the city. Close by ran
the main street, with its everchanging
picture, and from the upper end OF
which we could look down upon the
famous camp. The sight was novel
in the extreme. On every hand were
tall smokestacks pouring forth smoke
and flames like miniature volcanoes,
and great heaps Of mineral refuse lay
scattered around promiscuously. There
was nothing to see but stamp mills
and smelteries, nothing to do but Wis
it them. Mines and mining were the
talk of the hour. No one thought of
anything else. The very ground
seemed honeycombed, and we knew
that by day and by night an army of
men was at work in the dimly lighted
"crosscuts," industriously searching
searching for the treasures nature so
long refused to disclose. Rough look
ing, pale, worn and haggard, are these
miners of Butte. Many of them have
lived the greater part of their lives
in the horrible chambers that, lined
as they are with precious metals, have
still no charms for their inmates.
Life in the mines here now is mod
ern slavery. The looks of the men
prove this the wan faces of the
children bear painful evidence of the
fact.
Above the city proper, on the road
to Walkerville, were grouped the
cabins of these laborers. Nothing
more desolate than their appearance
can be imagined. Perched OH rocky
lodges, crowded into narrow gulches,
implanted, BACKED by the smoke, un-
relieved by tree or shrub or grass plot
they bore not even suggestion of home
but were more like untidy,
neglected and oppressive to look up
on.-Harper's for September.

A CURIOUS INVESTMENT.
How New England Miser Disposed o.
His Property.


His Property.
The man is still living who, seven-
teen years ago, walked into the rooms
of the Bible Society i'm Boston and
electrified the persons whom he found
there, first by his appearance, and
secondly, by the communication he had
to make. His appearance betoken more
than poverty. for his shabby clothes
were tied together with strings. What
in the world had brought such man
there, was the question every one ask
ed himself, and the wonder can be bet
ter imagined than described when the
stranger remarked that he had proper
ty to the amount of SO, 900, which he
would like to turn over to the society
ifhe could be guaranteed 10 per cent.
annually upon it for the remainder of
his life, his age being 10. The officers
suppressed their amaz ment as
well rs they could, took
his name, verified his schedule of
his possessions, and submitted the case
to the directors. They looked the mat
ter over in the light of actuaries' Ia
bles, ETC., and finally after much de-
liberation, decided that the risk was
too great, and so notified the would-be
donor. Not long after he came back
and renewed his proposition to turn the
money over to the society, and said
that he would be content with seven
per cent. annually. That proposition
was accepted, and for some years he
appeared regularly at the expiration
Of the year and drew his interest, tax
Ing 5000 in cash, and the company S
note for tho balance. Aftcn doing this
for seven years or SO he turned those
notes back to the company, saying
that he had no use for them. He Is
now, at tho age of ninoty-six, blind,
deaf, and crippled by fall SO that he
can not walk, and the Bible Society
pays the bills for his support. Spring

MRS, GUION,

@ANS' uOAo-N' NI-ll.MsANs
The price Of this article, which was 10
be in transition state from lover to hus-
band, was to be paid in installments, the
last payment to be made on delivery. A
registration fee of $5 and I. week after
$50 was paid by the lady to the broker,
whereupon the following contract was
drawn up:
Due Mrs. Guion from Mr. Wellman fifty dollars
$780, Ang. Is, if at any time she is willing to give
up all ecquaintances with gentleman who were
introduced in any manner by II. 3. Wellman If
Mrs. Guion marry gentleman to whom he intro
duced her, an additional fee of $50 is due Mr..
Welman from Mrs. Guion.
After the signing of the contract the
lady was introduced by Wellman to a man
named Leroy vino pressed his suit with
such ardour, and SO won her confidence as
to induce her to lend him 81, 600. Then
he made off, and has not since been heard
from by the lady Of his love. Having dis
covered the truth of the adage ''1Actions
speak louder than words,'' Mrs. Guion
concluded to bring the matter up in the
courts. She claims from Wellman the
return of the entrance fee and the $50
paid for non-delivery. besides the 81 900
borrowed by Leroy. The case came up in
New York. After wrangle between the
lawyers the judge decided that as it had
not been stated that Leroy had stolen the
money that portion of the complaint be
stricken out and suit be brought for $55.
This remarkable reduction did not seem
to satisfy the defendants attorney. who
evidently wanted the whole earth, for he
succeeded in getting the claim still further
narrowed down; whereupon the judge be-
came frightened lsst the case sink out Of
sight altogether, and informed the attor-
neys "If you keep on, you'll have no case
Mt al.'' The case is still on.
