The people of New York and Brooklyn
are unhappy because the price of ice has
been raised. The rise in the price of ice
has been followed by rise in the price of
beer, and some of the beer drinkers are
threatening to abandon beer and confine
themselves to water. A boycott of that
kind would not injure anybody except the
beer sellers, and they could stand it prob
ably longer than the beer drinkers would
care to.

an independent government there with the
view of ultimately turning the country
over to the United States is Capt. j. T.

by Augustus Merrill, who, in giving the
names of those concerned in it, left out

up an expedition on his own account to
capture the territory. He thinks that with

TERRIBLE ATTACKS.
ALAMosA, COL JAN $50.
My wife was troubled with nervousness
about one year before she took Pastor Koe-
nig's Nerve Tonic, and at that time had very
severe attacks of spasms, commissions, and
pains in different parts of the body. When
in this state her lower jaws would act vio-
lently and set sometimes, bite her tongue.
breathe heavily, then short, then seemed to
stop entirely, get a wild look in her eyes and
rolling around, then stop sometimes, it would
take men to hold her in bed, otherwise her
body would cramp and be SO for hours. She
took but two bottles of the Nerve Tonic
which cured her entirely of all these torments
which myself and wife gladly testify, it truly
had the desired effect.

What the Pigeon Fanciers Are Doing.
The Post Club held it's first anniversary cele-
bration Thursday evening. An enjoyable time
was had.
At the last meeting of the Federation OF
Homing Pigeon Fanciers Friday evening the
resignation of Mr.. Lewis Turner was accepted
with regrets, and Mr.. r. H. Boswell appointed
to fill the Office. Mr.. John H. Hoffas was
elected vice president.
The birds of Mr.. N r. Wood, of the Smith
sonian Institution, have done good work lately
They have been shipped from Lynchburg, about
two hundred miles, to Charlotte, N. c., $50
miles, liberated upon arrival, and were found
in the loft at S:55 A. NJ next morning-a feat
never tried before by any other fancier. The
general rule is to ship the birds so that they
reach their destination about 12 O'Clock noon,
and are held over until next day. In this case
they were let loose upon their arrival.
To-day the birds of the club will be shipped
to Calverton, Va, the 44-mile station. These
birds are in training for the race for the Web
suer's Dictionary, to be flown for by members
of the Federation, August 81, from Barbours-

September Z, from Covesville, Va, 120 miles,
for the Tappan medal. The third race, from Am
herst, Va, $50 miles, airline distance, for the
diamond badge offered by Voigt and Haas.
The races will be for birds bearing 1890 hatch
bands. At the conclusion of the prize races
some of the fanciers intend to ship few birds

SSSSSSSSSS Springfield, March 1s, 1890. Millinery Opening Wednesday
 and Thursday of next week; :;
 Wednesday evening till nine o'clock.
 The store will be gay all over.
 The central feature, of course,
 is the finished work of Milli-
 nery, of which there will be an abundance. But we are
 going to treat you to new ef- fects.
 The occasion will be made
 bright with the thousand and
 one materials of millinery
 and the added fragrance of
 natural flowers.
 Are you not interested?
 We. shall have plenty to en- certain you with. Our people have seen the bringings from Paris and taken their narrow choice of them. We are chary buyers of such. But we shall have few hundred pieces of our own.
 By the way, this leads us to think of what we are used to hearing.
 We are told thousand times a year, more or less, that the taste of our people as shown in the store is something remark able. Boston is more extrava- gant, less discriminating-so they make us believe. New York is grander, louder; we do not aspire to be either grand or loud in Springfield; we culti- vate quiet beauty; and quiet beauty shall blossom in hun dreds of forms amid the finger ing winter of our Easter.
 Come, friends, be welcome to see our new garden of milli' nery. You shall see as much as you please and buy as little Here you are welcome. We shall set before you our best in hundreds of ways, and you shall have your choice of the things our best are made of
 of beautiful things and the things themselves apart. You shall have your slow deliberate choice of them. It will be @ day, week O days, of nothing but seeipg-if your pleasure lies that way.

silent inperceptible rising, it's wonderful

silent imperceptible rising, it's wonderful Wilderness, it's majesty, it's distance. 1t seems fit bed of snowy splendor for fairies or some sort of ethereal beings to bask and revel iD. It seems to be look ing down, half in scorn, half in pity, at us four weary, miserable worms of the dust, feebly pecking at bit of mother earth, muddy, wet, and feebly squirm- ing in and about this bank of dirt.
 At o'clock there are longer pauses in our labors. There is more leaning on shovels and more frequent glances at our timepiece, the sun, as he sinks in the western heavens. The shadow of the hill opposite creeps slowly down its side. It is cool, welcome shadow. The strongest worker secretly welcomes 1t. Though he be a sshorse of a man" his muscles all feel the effects of the long days labor. It is more his strong will than his body which keeps him swing ing the pick. We are in duty bound to work till o'clock. Everybody works till o'clock. Everybody is more or less tired at o'clock, but it is not the capacity of the body for labor that fixes the time. It is custom, stupid GUS tom. The gauge is the limit of physical strength. not for the weakest, but the strongest. The great, brawny armed, big boned Hercules of our company doesn't feel it much. He may walk three miles after supper to the bar store, play cards and drink whiskey till 9 o'clock, and then walk back again and be up fresh for work next morning by 5:30 o'clock. This is 1860.
 In 1870 he showed it, however, and in
 the marks of age was ten years ahead of
 his time. You can't keep up this sort of
 thing-digging, tugging, lifting, wet to the skin day after day, summer and win ter, with no interval of rest, but steady drag twelve months of the year-without | paying for it. There's dissipation in the use of muscle as we'll as in the use of whisky, Every old miner knows it now and feels it. Don't you? How does the muscle of 45 years in 1882 compare with
 that of 25 years in 1862? Of course, man | must live by the sweat of his brow or the
 sweat of his brain, but many of you l sweat too long in those days, and l hear you all saying, "That's sol" Start anew | the fire in the little stove; thump the
 wet boots in the corner; drag yourself
 down to the spring few hundred yards
 distant for a pail of fresh water; hack a
 few more chips from the dried stump;
 mix some four. water and yeast powder
 for the days baking; sit down minute on your flour barrel chair and look on
 your earthly possessions. The worn and
 scared trunk you brought years ago
 from the states; it holds your best suit of
 forgotten fashion, two or three white
 shirts, a bundle of letters from home, a
 few photographs, Bible not worn out
 with use, a quartz crystal, few gold
 "specimens," tarantula's nest, the tail of rattlesnake and six vests. Do you
 remember how vests would accumulate
 in the mines? Pants, coat, everything
 else would wear out-vests never.
