SILvER CRY AyALAHcHK: PhilI-
ips 4 Sullivan, realizing that tbsy
we're short Of pocket change, took !
run over to Boise on Wednesday, LAST
70 market some Of their wares. They
took with them ten bricks Ut bullion
weighing all told something over half
: ton. The bricks were not abso-
Iutely pure silver, ! Circumstances
which did not make these gentlemen
fecl badly, because what was NOT siI-
yer vas gold. Leoaard's mill cannst
work the ore as fast as the mine pro-
dnces it. About ons hundred and fif-
" tons Of much richer ore than that
which has been crushed Is now at the
mill and more being hauled daily.
w. There was . great big lot Of fun
created in one Of our hotels one night
this week, by adiscussion'' between
> prominent mining man and an itin-
srary printer. The printer was 50
deaf that he could scarcely hear the
noise Of twenty stamp battery, but
with a good sized jag on, he can out
talk whole room full Of men. He
opened up On argument with the min
ing man, who kept up his end of the
discussion in pantomime, working bis
lips and making earnest gestures, but
never speaking word. The printer
talked on, bus when he saw the liz
tsners all laughing he thought the
other man was getting the better o.
the argument, got hot and went at il
the harder. He was cheered by the
listeners until he was convinced thai
the other man was knocked out. He
called the other man a liar numbei
of times, and is doubtless now plum
ing himself somewhere on the bolc
and able manner in which he did thu
other fellow up. Last Saturda,

WV. LIBBY has had seven and one
half tons of ore from the old Chicks-
hominy ledge crushed in the Forest
King mill. The cleanup was made
last Wednesday. The gold had not
been assayed when we went to press,
but 1t is estimated by auriferous ex-
perts that the amount, $50 ounces, is
worth about $4,000. The ore, there
fore, ran over 5000 per ton. An cas-
tsrn company put up a twenty-five
stamp mill early in the sixties to
work the ore from this mine. Its
coat at that time, including FIRST
cost, transportion, building, ate, was
enormous. Only one ton of ore was
crushed. The mill stood there idl.

THE FIRST LIGHTNING ROD.
Assertion That Franklin Did not Cor
struct tho Original One.

Assertion That Franklin Did not Con-
struct the Original One.
Everybody believes that Franklin
was the inventor and constructor OF
the first lightning rod. In this one
particular everybody is mistaken.
The first lightning catcher was not in
vented by the great philosopher, but
by poor monk of Seuttenburg, Bohe-
mia, who put up the first lightning rod
on the palace of the curator of Pre-
ditz, Moravia, Juno Is, 1854. The
name of the inventive monk was
Prohop Dilwisch. The apparatus was
composed of a pole surmounted by an
iron rod. supporting twelve curved
branches and terminating in as many
metallic boxes filled with iron ore and
inclosed with wooden box-ike cover,
traversed by twenty-sev iron point
edsrods, the bases of which found a
resting place in the ore box. The en-
tire system OF wires was united to the
earth by q large chain. The enc
mics of Dilwisch, Jealous of his success,
excited peasants of the locality against
him, and, under the pretext that his
lightning rod was the cause of the ex-
cessive dry weather, had the rod taken
down and the inventor imprisoned.
Years afterwards, M. Nielsen used the
multiple-pointed rod as an invention
of his own.

A Priests Sacrifice.

The following story of devotion and
self sacrifice is taken from the Brldgend
Wales) Chronicle: Father Green, who
was stationed at Bridgend for ten years,
built the church at Aberkenfs, and
literally saved the cost in five years out
OF his small income. This was accom-
plished in the following extraordinary
manner: For the whole period Of five
years he dispensed with the services of
a housekeeper and lived on shilling a
day. To keep down expenses to this
modest amount he would often 60 with
out his supper. We made his bed,
cooked his food. and did all his domestic
work in order to defray the cost Of the
building which was reared to the glory
Of God. Not a penny was received
from anybody's hand by way of help,
because no help was Asked This, .
adds the Chronicle, sis the simple story
of q noble deed, or rather succession of
deeds. 1t IS illustration Of SO f-abne
CATION with which the Catholic Church
is being built up by the Catholic clergy

KILLED BY A RATHER.
Sad Havoc Made Among a Georgia Far
mar's Dnrve: OF Hogs.

Sad Havoc Made Anon. Georgia Far
mer's Dnrve; Of Hogs.
Several days ago, when John l.
Walker. a farmer living in the north
western part of Lowndes county, Geor-
gia. was in his field picking cotton, his
attention was attracted by a fuss made
by his hogs in a swamp near the field.
They made noise very much like
they do when they come up with an
unfriendly animal, or perhaps strange
drove of swine, and every now and
then one would squeal. He thought
little OF it, supposing they were hav-
ing tilt with a neighbours hogs. But
he soon went to the house. when his
sows came up. One tu1nbled
over dead, and then an
other, and another, and the fourth be-
came very sick, but recovered. Upon
examination he discovered that they
ha6.. been bitten by a snake on the nose
and one OF them in the tongue. A man
working for Mr.. Walker went into the
swamp, found the snake and killed it.
It was five-foot RATHER.

One Honest Tramp.

Even the much abused tramp has
often more honor than he's given cred
it for, as witness the following from
New Jersey: Fourteen years ago a
tramp knocked at the door of Daniel
Palmer, in South Orange township,
Essex county, and asked for a hat. By
mistake one of the daughters gave him
her fathers best silk hat, discovering
the mistake just as the tramp started
away with it. An exclamation by her
sister appraised the tramp OF the prize
he had received. Little thought was
afterward given to the matter until a
few mornings ago, when clean, new
hat box was found on the front porch.
It contained a new silk hat and this
explanation within on a slip OF paper:
ITO replace your fathers bestsilk hat,
taken by me fourteen years ago"

Some Very Curious Statistics Relating 81
@ This Terrible Disease.
a bout hydroph . bia the sRegistrar-
General has, ia his report just issued.
mede an Important deduction from his
mortality returns, says the London
Daily News. By taking groups Of
counties and studying the death rate
from hydr ophobia in the districts thus
mapped out during the years 1869-88,
he finds that the disease has two great
centers in this country. The death
rate diminishes according to the dis
lance from these centers. Lancashire
is the head and front of the offending
as regards hydrophobia. From that
dreaded disease the annual deaths per
million Of the population are in Lam
cashire 3.39. This is far in excess Of
the death rate from the same cause in
any other part of the kingdom. The
figures most nearly approaching it are
2.41 in Cheshire and 2.43 in the West
Riding, contiguous districts. The
other center is said to be London, be-
cause here the deaths are 1.59 per mill
lion. diminishing to Las in the extra
metropolitan portions of Middlesex,
Surrey. and Kent. These are high
figures in comparison with the low
death rate in other southern counties.
The conclusions of the Registrar
General are apparently confirmed by
the Agricultural Departments account
of the geographical distribution Of
rabies in animals. Naturally, the next
thing the Registrar General wants to
know is whether these two centers of
rabies and hydrophobia can be distin-
guished from the rest of the country as
to the numbers and characters of the
dogs inhabiting them. This is an in
CURRY worth making. Meanwhile, the
facts already ascertained justified the
muzzling order in London. The pre-
else number of deaths from hydropho-
bia in 1888 was fourteen. There were
five in Lancashire, six in London. or
adjoining counties, one in Wiltshire,
one in Cumberland, and one in Glamor-
ganshire.

Feminine Pride.

The different forms in which pride
besets its Yictime afford an amusing
study, says the Critic. Girls who
work in shops carry schoolbooks or q
muse roll to and from their place of
business so that they may be mistaken
for school girls, though their hours
are certainly not those of the average
pupil. Perhaps they hope to be taken
for special students. The librarian of
the Merchantile Library tells me that
it is a common thing for ladies" to
tear the paper covers off the books they
take from the library the moment
they are outside the door. These silly
creaturs thinks it loooks finer to carry
an uncovered book than one that is
coveres, and they would rather seem
to own q volume than to have taken II
from 9 library. & II 81 81 83s5 \

N1idair Battle Between Captured Cat
and an cage.

NIitiair Battle Between Captured Cat
and cage.
One day a cat was trotting out to-
ward the barn. carrying in her teeth a
piece of meat for her young, says the
Union Point Bee. A bald eagle which
had been in the habit of lowering
over the place suddenly descended
upon pussy and whirled her upward
in a rapid vertical flight The path
Of ascent to the eye of a spectator
watching the scene was clearly iudica-
ted by loose feathers violently tossed
from the point of combat.
In time the struggling pair attained
a giddy eminence, and came to a
standstill in the sky. The eagles
wings had dropped now and then, and
he had given plain evidence of pain
and terror, yet not once had his awful
grip appeared to relax.
Al length a. descent was begun, with
rapidity which every moment in
creased, and the two animals struck
the ground at the point where they
had first encountered each other; but
the eagle was dead, and pussy, as soon
as she felt terra frma beneath her feet
shot away for the barn. still carrying
her bit of meat.
Investigation showed that the cat
had cut the eagles throat, and SO
lacerated his breast that his body was
literally laid open. After his death
in midair, however, she had been too
clever to relax her hold and thus fall
to the ground. but had let her enemy
serve as parachut to ease the descente
At last account pussy was none the
worse for her aerial fight and battle.

LUCK IN A BROKEN MIRROR.


This Accident May Bring Fortune to
the Roll Family.
It has always been considered I'M
lucky to break a mirror, but the one
which Charles Roll of Newark broke
recently will probable prove the excep-
ton to the rule The mirror in ques-
ton had been in Rolls family for a
great number of years., during all of
which time the members of the family
have been endeavoring to gain addi-
tional evidence by which they could
establish their claim to a wide stretch
of land along the banks of the Mohawk
river.
1t was known that Jacob Rolh q
Holland Dutch ancestor, had owned
a large tract of land in these parts
which had been abandoned during the
French and Indian wars but no papers
could be found to fix it's exact location,
When the mirror was shattered, be-
tween the glass and wood at the back
was found an aged yellow piece of
parchment. It was the long searched
for proof, and is deed from the IN
dams to Roll, by which the former
coded to the latter thlrty-six square
miles OF land near Schenectady. The
estimated value Of the property is now
$4,000, 900.
The deed is said to be authentic. and
proof of its validity has been found in
the old Dutch records at Albany.
There are about $50 heirs. On Satur-
day night about 100 of them met in
Newark, formed q committee, and
raised fund with which to prosecute
their claim.
