1t happened on crowded horse
car. A seedy looking man, very much
the worse for having looked too often
on the wine when it was red, rose to
give his seat to lady when a robust
man slipped into the vacant seat, leav-
ing the lady still standing.
"Sa-a-y, you = you feller you. :"
said the boozy but chivalrous individ-
ual, as he swayed to and fro hanging
to strap, "I-I'm drunk, I know but
I-I'll get over it, l will; but you
your hog. and you-you'll never
get over it in-in this world: no-sir,
never!"
And the other passengers agreed
with him.

NO NORTH, NO SOUTH.

INSPIRED BY Memoir IAI
DAY.
God keeps his children low in dust,
To purge away the cankering lust.
Then kindly lifts to JOY again
When wrong succumbs to healthful pain
No North, no South.
Avaunt ye lingering ghouls of hate,
Be emulous to raise the stale;
Revive no more the checked past,
On Lethe's waves dead issues cast.
No North, no Sonth.
An hundred years have fed away,
The country stronger day by day,
For ills not man who gives us life,
But One whe stills convulsive strife.
No North, no South.
And speed the cry-no East. no West
No foreign sway--nor worst nor best
With specious wiles shall clog the stream
OF progress toward the Nations dream,
No North, no South.
From living lakes that seaward flow
To golden mines of Mexico,
From Eastern mart to Western coast,
'Tis now freeman's honest boast
No North, no South.
The wounds are healed that brothers made
From Maine to tropic everglade;
All cold suspicious now have fed,
Are with yindictive embers dead.
No North, no South.
The chain in which tho slave was bound
Clanks not with harsh, unchristian sound
False zeal provoking latent strife
No longer seeks to leopard life.
No North, no South.
A heavenly voice has hushed to peace
When warning words might never cease.
BY raising those within our land
Long years, retrieved through party's band.
No North, no South.

PROSPECTUS
....OF....
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated
Placer Mining Company.

s0OCt UtsIisibU VUiupoHTs
The Robinson Canyon Consolidated
Placer Mining Company is a corpora
ton organized for the purpose of hir-
ing, letting, bonding, buying, selling,
and dealing in mines, lands and prop
erty of every kind and nature in the
State of Nevada.
This Company was incorporated
under the laws of the State of Nevada
on the Both day of November, 1889,
and has a corporate existence of 80
years.
The amount of the capital stock is
all subscribed and held as follows:
Shares. Amt.
j. B. Simpson =. 10000 $4,000
j. B. Williamson -. 10000 10000
r. M. Peters ....... 10000 10000
D. G. Mcdonald -. 10000 10000
G. J. Boskowitz. -. 10000 10000
j. F. Cupid. d......... 10000 10000
The Company own 5000 feet of
placer ground in Robinson Canyon,
commencing at the mouth of the
canyon and running 5000 feet along
its course to the Joanna mine. They
have sunk two shafts-one about 1000
feet from the mouth of the canyon,
and at depth of As feet find large
quantities of black sand, with good
prospects of fine gold, and have not
reached bedrock. Shaft No. 3 is about
5000 feet from the mouth of the
canyon and the rim rock was struck
at depth of 30 feet. This prospects
we'll in coarse gold and is getting
richer as depth is attained on the rim
rock. Several pans taken out of the
incline going as high as 30 cents to
the pan-the gravel averaging about
cents to the pan-leaving no doubt
that the channel is rich. Some pieces
on the rim rock weighed as high as
Is cents. The company is going to
start several other shafts to thoroughly
prospect their ground, and have every
confidence of finding placers that will
rival the richest spots in California in
the palmiest days.
The recent storms and heavy snow
have retarded prospecting, but the
company has determined to have
things in shape to take advantage of
the spring thaws, and will suice
enough dirt to prove beyond doubt
that the ground is dividend-paying
investment.
The names of the officers for the
ensuing six months are as follows:

sCoTLAND's STRIKERS.
Traffic Nearly Suspended and the
Strikers Hard at Work.

Traffic Nearly Suspended and the
Strikers Hard at Work.
GLASGOW, Dec. 22.-The railway strikers
have SO far succeeded in psralyElng traffic
throughout the district. Very few trains
are running. Pockets Of the strikers are
stationed at many points, trying 10 induce
the few engine drivers remaining at work
TO join the ranks Of tho strikers. In several
instances the persussions OF the pickets
were strong enough to win over additions
TO the number of men already on strike.
The Lauarkshire strikers are conducting
their operations with much vigor. Their
pickets are doing good work. All of the
mineral and most of the passenger traffic
has already stopped, and there does not
seem TO be any prospect Of an early settle-
ment of the matter in dispute
EXPRESS TRAINS LATE.
In consequence Of the strike all express
trains are coming in late arriving on an
average about four hours behind time. The
managers Of the railway companies threaten
to prosecute tho strikers for breach of con-
tract, claiming the men failed TO give their
employers proper notice before going out.
The confusion resulting from the strike
is affecting collieries, furnaces and large
interests Of various kinds. The Singer
Sewing Machine Works have shut down
and will remain closed until the strike is
settled.
The Greenock men have Joined tho strike
movement. but the Edinburgh and Perth
men have refused TO go out.
All the North British trains between
Aberdeen aud Edinburgh, including the
London express, have ceased running.
FREIGHT TRAFFIC AT sTANpsTrLL.
The strike has caused an almost total sus.
nf 1n ha IA
but passenger trains are being moved,
though irregularly. Crews to work these
trains are only secured by the employment
of station masters and superior Of
ficers of the road and by the engine
drivers and firemen lent by pri-
vate firms who possess engines. The
latest report is to the effect that the strike
is extending. The msu are remaining firm
and are inducing others to leave work. Mr..
Fillett, labor leader. to-day addressed the
strikers at Dundee. One instance is re-
ported of locomotive being deraiied, 1t ia
supposed by strikers. The strike has stopped
much traffic but the postal service is still
uninterrupted. The stoppage Of operations
at the Singer sewing machine works throws
1000 persons Out Of employment.
FoRTY-EIvK HUNDRED MEN OUT.
At meeting of railway strikers held in
this city to-day the announcement wat
made that 4,5O0 men had quit work. This
number includes the men of the
Caledonian, North British and South.
west companies. There is an absolute
cessation of freight traffic, and only few
passenger trains are running. The railway
managers are making firm stand against
the strikers They have given the men u

policy it was impossible that there
