MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
Available Find Of Ore at Walden.


Walden, thriving town on the Illi-
nois Central Railroad, expects to startle
the world soon with a mineral boom.
Investigations and assays have been
the order for several weeks, but tho
publication of the news has been sup
pressed until success is felt to be as
sured.
While digging we'll two months
since one mile west OF Walden, Mr..
Rush, the town blacksmith, discovered
mineral indications. The fact was
communicated to a prominent merchant
of the place, Mr.. Lichenstein, who be-
came convinced after viewing the situa-
tion that there was millions in it."
He still holds to this opinion.
The plat of land on which the find Is
situated is comparatively worthless for
farming purposes, it being formerly
rated at $500. three-fourths interest
in the land has been conveyed to Mr..
Lichenstein for $500. This was fol-
lowed up by that gentleman buying
options on all adjoining lands, 50 If the
ore pans out richly he will soon have a
bushel of ducats.
Two expert assayers from New Or
leans were sent for to examine the ore.
They declare it to be 90 per cent. lead.
1t also contains six ounces of silver to
the ton.
The tunneling of the hill was stopped
by the inflow of water, and operations
were suspended for awhile. The work
will be resumed soon, when develop
ments may be expected.
The country in which the supposed
mine lies is rough and hilly, being a
continuation of the range of hills ex-
tending northwest from Clarke County,
where iron ore has been found.
If ore is found in sufficient quantities
to mine, the attention of capitalists
will be enlisted to secure its develop
ment.

A legal question as to the right to Or
ganize without the proper certificates

sion till two o'clock p. M, the Demo

CALEDONIA, Mich, Oct. 23.-Mrs. NJ.
Adele Hazlett addressed = Republican
meeting, and NJ. IL. Ford Democratic
one, here this evening. Mrs. Hazlett
spoke IN Bergy's Hall and Mr.. Ford in
the rink. The hall was packed full,
and many were unable TO gain admit
tance. The rink had fair audience.
On learning that the Democratic nom-
inec for Congress Was TO speak here on
the same evening as Mrs HaZlett, the
Republicans challenged Mr.. Ford for 4
joint discussion, offering TO furnish the
hall aud give Mr.. Ford half the time.
He declined the invitation, some of the
Democratic committee saying that he
refused to discuss politics with q
woman. Those who heard both
speeches think that Mr. Ford's discre-
ton Was the better part OF mis- valor:
for, If be bad discussed the issues with
tbs woman, be would have been worst

y good many Democratic votes. II ne
had possessed confidence, either IN hin- =
self or IN las cause, Or IN hrs assumed
superiority to woman, certainly the
oder TO let HIM address Republican

sidered = generous advantage 10 him.
II, however. he had not confidence IN
himself nor IN hls cause, he WAS wise IN
not taking ms Democratic friends where
they could hear the convincing argu-
meuts aud superior elOquence of the
lady. she held her audience 70 the
closest attention, and elected frequent
applause. which was often enthusiastic;
snd this not by any tlIck of eiOquenes,
but by the strong logic Of the facts she
stated and the unauswerahle arguments

lett's address vas one of the elearest
and most effective heard here Ia the
