Il. n NJ. Grade.

The marked character of the recent
revival Of operations along the b. q VI,
grade is indicated by the Increased trade
Custer merchants are receiving from
this prolific source. The increase OF
trade from this direction has been es-
p~ecially noticeable during the past week
when as many as five wagon loads OF
supplies have been purchased i'm a single
day. One dealer alone informs rs that
his sales aggregated nearly forty thou,
sand pounds during the week. The
supplies furnished are miscellaneous in
character, embracing the staples in al
lines of merchandise, including grain, oil
which large quantities are being sup
piled. About twenty thousand pounds
of oats purchased here were loaded for
a grade contractor near the coal camp
on Wednesday, Custer is now the chief
supply point for the line from the
Cheyenne river to the coal camp, fur
nishing more supplies than all other
places combined. The line is now said
to be fairly covered with graders iron
is being laid from the south end, and
every indication points to the early
completion of the road to the coal fields.

Few Cents in San Francisco. }.

"Give me silver for this, please" said an Eastern tourist yesterday, as he dumped double handful of one cent pieces on the counter of a promi- nent money broker. 'I don't want them. They're not worth counting 1 wouldn't give fifty cents on the dol lar for them," was the reply. "I nev- CT took them but once, and then had to. A fellow owed me $5, and after repeated duns offered payment in cop pers. I indignantly refused. The next day he came in, and, showing 8 copper cent into my hand, asked me to give him credit for that amount up- on the debt. He kept that up, making a payment of one cent every morning, noon and night-three cents a day until l accumulated cigar box full of coppers. They're here yet, and they'll stay here until some one comes along who has more time than money. l won't count them. The circulation of copper cents in San Francisco is limit ed to about forty feet of the post of flee. They go in at the stamp window at the rate of $3 or $4 day. They are carried from there to the money order department, where they are used in making change. They never get outside the post office door, but imme- diately find their way to the stamp window again. ."-San Francisco Ex- aminer.

Cart Loads of Lizards.

A great destruction of life took place upon the old Lawton farm, two miles up the river. For several gen erations there has been a musk-rar pond about twenty rods from the Ken nebec, consisting of half acre or more, besides eight acres of splendid land which was made worthless by its surroundings, which was drained across to the river by laying sewer under ground five to nine feet deep. When the water was drawn off to near the bottom the men noticed that it was charged with animated life, and as the bottom began to appear the struggle increased, and it was estimat- ed there were from two to four cart loads of lizards from two to five inches in length, mixed with reptiles shaped like the tadpole, four and five inches long, and a promiscuous collection of bugs and smaller fry, some of which looked like green grasshoppers.- Skowhegan Reporter.

CovetOusness and Generosity.

Covetousness is not natural to man generosity is. But covetousness must be excited by special cause, as a given disease by a given miasma;
 and the essential nature of 8 material for the excitement of covetousness is that it shall be beautiful thing which can be retained without use. The moment we can use our possessions to any good purpose ourselves, the in stinct of communicating that use to others rises side by side with our power. If you can read book rightly, you will want others to hear it; if you eau enjoy a picture rightly, you will want others to see it; learl, how to manage horse, q plough, or q ship, and you will desire to make your sub- ordinates good horsemen, ploughmen, or sailors-you will never be able 10 see the fine instrument you are master of abused; but, once fix your desire on anything useless, and all the purest pride and folly in your heart will nix with the desire, and make you at last wholly inhuman, mere ugly lump of stomach and suckers, like a cuttlefish.

 The Rest Thinker.

A man can no more hold himself entirely aloof from the thoughts of others than from the sunlight and air around him; both will influence and form him, whether he desire it OF not. Of course he can shut himself away from large measure of either, and grow pale and weak, bodily and men, tally, in consequence; but that will not make what little power is left him more entirely his own. The best thinker is he who gladly welcomes every aid, who is hospitable to every thought, who weighs every opinion. respects every honest conviction, and thankfully adopts such ideas as ap- prove themselves to his judgment, yet at the same time so works over all he receives in the crucible of his own mind that the gold is purified and the dross expelled. When he gives it to others by lip or pen, it is not less. but more his very own than if ho had not enriched his mind from SO many sources

Sightseeing.

Lord Stowell had a passion for sight seeing. Whatever show could be visit ed for shilling, or less, was visited by Lord Stowell. In the western end of London there was room generally let for exhibitions. At the entrance, as it is said, Lord Stowell presented himself, eager to see s'the green mon- ster serpent," which had lately issued cards of invitation to the public. As he was pulling out his purse to pay for his admission, sharp but honest North-couutry lad, whose business it was to take the money, recognized him as an old customer; and knowing his name, thus addressed him :--''We can't take your shilling, my lord; 'tis the old serpent, which you have seen twice before in other colors; but you shall go ill and see her." He entered, saved his money, and enjoyed his third visit to the painted beauty.

A King Burns his Sisters and Brothers.

The Church Missionary Society have received news from the Uganda Mis- sion up to Sept. 2. Mir. Mackay says in his letter that the revolution in Uganda of October, 1888, which drove Mwanga from the throne and the mis- sionaries from the country, had con- tinued internationally, and that disaffec- ton was increasing among the people as the result of Arab influence at the Court of Uganda. After his expulsion Mwanga had taken up his quarters at Ukumbi, where the French priests had settled at the south end of the lake. After time he was induced to remove to the northwest corner of tho lake, where, at place called Dunno, he was joined by several thousand of his ad- herents, many of them native Chris tians and others from the disaffectcd Mwanga.
 Emboldened by the possession of this force, he attacked Kilema, the reigning King of Uganda, and defeated the Kings troops; but in second at- tack Mwanga was himself defeated and retreated to one of the Sesse islands. Kiiema was so enraged at his defeat, and fearful that the Christians with Mwanga would follow up their victory and secure one of the princes, with view to placing him on the throne, that he had every one of both princes and princesses Qlis own broth CTS and sisters), as we'll as his own and Mwanga's children, burned to death ill the huts where they were confined as prisoners. Mwanga had afterward es- abolished himself on an island near the mainland, and was awaiting chance to renew his attack on Kileua.

The Brass Mule Cure.

| A traveller, recently returned from Pekin, tells us that he saw a method of ] cure which may be new to some of our readers. In temple outside one of the city gates is to be found brass mule of life size, supposed to have wonderful healing properties. Patients suffering from every imagin- able disease seek this temple to obtain cure. The method pursued is as follows: Supposing you suffer from sciatica, you go with all speed to this famous temple, and, having discovered the particular part of the brass mule corresponding to the painful region of your own body, you first rub tlie ami mai a certain number of times and then with the same hand shampoo your own disabled member, and then,- well, then the pain goes. The special feature of this method of cure is its delightful simplicity. Is your tooth aching? Just scrub the mules teeth and afterward your own, and, voiia! the cure is complete.
 Have you an ulcer of the cornea? Pass the tips of your fingers to and fro over the particular eyeball of the mule, and then with well-regulated pressure rub repeatedly the afflicted eye. The mule has unhappiIy lost his sight during the many years he has been engaged in his benevolent work, the eyeballs, we are told, having been gradually worn away, as the result of constant friction, until now you have only the empty orbits to operate upon. The animal is patched in all directions with fresh pieces of brass put on to cover holes produced by the constant friction of eager patients, and new 1, perfectly whole mule stands ready at hand awaiting the day when his old colleague, having fallen to pieces ill the service, shall give him an oppor- tunity of likewise benefiting posterity.

Who Arlo Bates Looked Liks.

Arlo Bates, BowdOin's wcllknoWn graduate, the poet and cultured boak-, reviewer of Boston, is tall, very slighl& wears his hair trifle longer than the ordinary mortal, and there is pensive droop to his fair moustache. These things make him g noticeable figure In any assemblage. One day he had been calling at Belcon street house, where there was little girl, the daughter of the house. He has wonderful gift for entertaining children. So he held the pretty mite spellbound with como original enchanting fairy story.
 The moment her entertainer had de- parted, the child, intensely excited, ran up to the nursery, seized volume, hurried down again to the drawing room, and turning the leaves lihe lightning, said to her mamma: .tal'll show you who it is Mir. Bates loOks % much like; wait minute-wait . minute"
 At last, with hop and skip, the child carried the volume over to her mamma and laid it, open, upon her knees. It was "Aiice in Wouder- land" and she had turned to tho plc- ture of the Walrus. = Lswistou Journal.

Reader, did you ever, after asking this question, notice the different style in which it would be answered, accord ing as the person interrogated had a gold watch or a silver watch? It is a rare chance to learn 6 lesson in human nature. In the one case, your friend turns around till his back is nearly squared towards you, and drawing out his watch barely to the edge of the pocket, steals quick, furtive glance at the dial, then hurries back the article like lightning into its receptacle; in the other he draws out his splendid full jeweled repeater slowly and deliberate lv, with great pomposity and flourish, and extending it at arms length be- tween his two hands, gives you the desired information, and one of his blandest smiles ill addition.
