Barry pointed out the Importance OF
utilizing the railroads in nail trans
portation. He predicted that the
mail would in course of time be car
ried from Washington to New York
in sixteen hours. The service IS now
performed in about Eve hours. Post
master General Kendall proposed
that If wheels could be constructed
which couh be used alike on rail
road and on streets of cities the
mail between Washington and Bal
timore could be taken direct to the
postoffices of those two cities over
the Baltimore and Ohio road. The
present railway mail service was not
inangurated until 1864, when it was
begun By Colonel Armstrong author.

A TOKEN OF THE REVOLUTION.
"a glance into the past refreshes
ones memory of the days of slavery.
And a comparison of then and now,
in many instances, only serves to show
that the White man has taken the
place of the Negro, so far as slavery
is concerned. Yet for all this, the
Northern capital has planted thrift
and industry in the South. In many
instances the Negro causes as much
trouble and anxiety by their uprisings
in the South as the Indian does in the
West. Then the White man Of to-
day is ground down to slavery by
system of "trust" combinations and
the monopolistic pooling" of issues
by capitalists. Better be slave in
reality than be an ignorant intimida-
ted freeman. But the natural pro-
gress in science and educational insti.
tutions will eventually right these
wrongs. Go back to the days of '63
when the country was unsettled, poll
tically speaking, by the rebellion of
the South against the freedom of the
colored slave. Outside of the loss of
life and the destruction of property
during engagements in the battle
field, the most Of the damage to pro-
perty and life was done by band of
Guerrillas. leopold and his gang is
said to have destroyed as much pro-
perty and killed as many people, right
on the heels of the battles fought, and
thought little or nothing of cutting
the Threats of wounded soldiers to
aid them in pillage and plumber. But
the last brutal act Leopold committed
was when he shot Edward Lee Entler,
who was guarding large grain ware
house for his brother, at Shepherds
town, West Virginia, in March, ofthe
year 1868. The dGuerrillas were
caught, tried and hanged for the muir,
der of Mr.. Entler. f.. l.. Entler, his
namesake, and brother of We editors
wife while on visit here last week
shot out the loads in the San Grabriel
canyon, which were-pnt in an old
fashioned six-shooter Colts revolver,
that his uncle had loaded previous to
being murdered, about twenty-five
years ago, with the exception of one
chamber which was emptied on that
memorable day. Tho revolver is
finely engraved and is handed down
by relatives to the young man who
prizes it very highly.

An Arizona Proposition.

A new Arizona gold proposition has just been brought to St. Louis, prom inent grain receiver on Change hay ing secured bond on it yesterday. The property is located in the south ern part of the territory, and is said to be we'll opened up and ready to be worked. The vein is said to be very well defined, of moderately low-grade ore, and five to ten feet wide, the party taking the bond claiming that a person cannot find piece of it out of its entire width that will not show free milling gold. A company has not yet been organized on it, the bond being held individually, and with the idea of placing 1t with small and close syn dicate, but one which can furnish the money to work 1t on business princi- pies. As it will require a large amount of capital to work it properly, this could not be accomplished through the miscellaneous and general sale of treasury stock within the requirements of the bond. In what has been done so far, the organizer of the syndicate, and who secured the bond yesterday, agrees to pay all expenses of the syn dicate representatives to the property, and the fees and expenses of any ex- pert desired by the expert, and to re
 lieve the syndicate members of their interests if it does not show up as well as epresented.-Globe Democrat.

R. c. Kerens of St. Louis says When ever mining venture falls through there is ten times as much said about it as would be of an ordinary business failure. This is due in a great meas ure to the blind and reckless dahbling in mining stocks, indulged in by peo- pie who do not know what they are putting their money into. They are to be classed as speculators. It is very rarely that you hear of an in vestor in mining stocks losing his money. Even if he meets with re- verses, there is something left to show for his investment. It is the same in all business ventures. Some succeed, others fail, but I think mine invest ments are as legitimate and safe as those made in any other line of bus mess.
