''The farm, my dear, your legacy from
your old nurse, is one solid bed Of coal,

of my clients in Pottsville to send me an

"There is no doubt about the coal,

"Certainly."
And the decision, after Wharton had
spent a month in Pottsville, was to sell
out to company who was already buy

farm. The young lawyer knew nothing
OF mining and had no desire to learn, but
he was no fool, and he made satisfactory
terms for the sale of the "estate," and
Daisy returned home wealthy woman.
A European trip restored the health of
the young lawyer, and he resumed prac-

one day realizing the vision of fame,
while little Daisy, still rather dazed at
her new fortune, entered upon domestic
duties in a grand house, with servants,
carriages, horses, plate and jewels.

An Electrical Whirlwind.

Mr. Charles F. Hefer's farm on the
Monticello road, about four miles from
this city, was recently the scene of rather
a remarkable occurrence.
Mr.. Hefer's attention was attracted by
several loud reports, which he likens to
the discharge of gun, at the edge of
some woods bordering his cotton field.
Immediately a whirling column of dust
and debris was seen to take a circular
course from the woods through the cot
ton field and back to the woods again,
sweeping aloft everything in its path.
A colored man employed in the field
fed for his life, but caught enough of
the force of the whirlwind to blister his
back, so he said.
On examination it was found that all
along the track of the whirling column
the leaves of the cotton had heen
scorched as if by fire, but no other dam
age was done.-Colun,bia Is. o. Regis

THE SONG OF THE SEA.
Their world was a world Of enchantment,
A world of lurninour lievht

Their world was a world Of enchantment,
A world Of luminous light
Came out with fiaring of carmine,
From all the black spaces Of night;
The music OF morn was as blithesome
And CHEEKY as music could be;
But all through the dawn and the daybreak
mourned for the song of the sea.
They showed me the marvellous flowers
And fruits OF their sun-beaten lands;
They said, ''Here are vine-tangled valleys;
Forget ye the barren white sands;
For a WEAKNESS unto the spirit
The dash Of the breakers must be;
30 dwell ye beside our blue waters;
Forget the sad song of the sea-"
And wrapped me about in the sunlight,
On the marge of dimpling stream,
And there In tangle Of lilies,
wove mo IA wonderful dream;
And song from my dreamland went float
ing &
Far up where the angels must be-
But deep in its under vibrations
heard the sweet song of the sea.
With the dew in his locks all a-glitter,
The Prince Of the Daytime lay dead;
For the silver-white lance Of the twilight
Smote off the gold crown from his head;
And the Princess of Night camo to see him,
Her lights all about him to hang;
And nightingale screened in the thicket
Her song to the slumberer sang.
And the stream from the tangle of lilies
Came winding its way through the sedge;
And silvery nocturne it rippled
Among the tall flags on its edge;
But its babble 1 fain would have given
For the deep-woing sea voices lull,
And the nightingale's song would have bar
tered
For desolate cry Of gull.
Their world was world Of enchantment;
And they laughed with the laughter of
scorn,
when turned me away from its beauty
In the light of the luminous morn;
But heard grand voice in the distance
Instantly calling TO me,
And rose with jubilant spirit
And followed the song of the sea.

How the London Thieves Steal.

1t is hard upon people who are on a
genuine search for lodgings that they
should be subjected to suspicion in the
houses they visit, but the thief or thieves
whose happy hunting ground is any
place where he sees apartments to let"
is again so active that the police are
obliged to warn landlords and landladies
to receive all visitors with caution. The
lodging house thief has one popularity.
He devises pretexts for being left alone
in room and then secures his pocket
able booty. We hear that the police are
also deeply interested in another class of
thief who hovers about the doors of
banks. If an innocent looking messenger
CT tender years comes out with money the
thief bears down upon the unsuspecting
child and surprises him or her into a sur
render of the cash bYa bold statement
that a mistake has been made, that the
check has to be indorsed, or something
of that sort. We should have thought
this a particularly hazardous enterprise
for the thief in these days of sharp chill
dren, and it ought not to be long before
the police make a capture. London

EDUCATING THE INDIANS.
TEACHING BOYS AND GIRLS AT
A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL.

A Ten-Year Course of fStudy-what is
Taught-Instruction in Trades,
Farming and Household Duties.
With seventy-six Sioux children from
Dakota and ffty-one from tribes in the
Indian Territory, the great Indian train
ing school at Carlisle, Penn, was opened
November 1, 1879. 1t now has 800 en-
rolled, representing fifty different tribes,
and the graduating class this year num-
bered forty-three. In the early years the
school was obliged to breast a fierce OPP
position from many quarters, but year by
year the school grew. The name of
Carlisle is now known in every Indian
camp and there are few reservations east
of the Sierras which have not in them re-
turned Carlisle students.
The course of study pursued comprises
ten years training in the ordinary Eng
lish branches, and at the end of the ten
year period the Indian child is gradu-
ated. He is still two years below the
grade of the high school graduate in the
public schools, but he can read, write
and figure his way alongside the average
white boy.
The children upon entering the school
are filthy, unframed to habits of cleanli-
ness, welded to the vices of the savage
and accoutred in the habiliments of the
wigwam. Their hair is long and the
comb and brush are strangers.
The school work proper at Carlisle is
supplemented and made all the more
useful by systematic industrial training.
Many of the boys are apprenticed to
trades at which they are obliged to labor
part of every day. Those who have
no aptitude for the trades are assigned
to farm work and employed in the dairy.
Hundreds of boys have been sent out to
farmers and dairymen and others to
tradesmen and mechanics, where they
can learn not only to work, but learn
also how white people live.
The girls are likewise taught
house duties, gardening, dairying,
etc. Every pupil, male or female,
at Carlisle, works every day except holi-
days and when i'll. As consequence
every pupil returns to home knowing
how to do something and to do it well,
whether he uses his knowledge or other
wise
There are shops in which blacksmith
ing, printing, carpentering, shoemaking,
harnessmaking, tailoring, tin work and
wagon making are skilfully done and
taught. The pupils of Carlisle make
heir own clothing, boots and shoes, and
do nearly all the mechanical work about
the large establishment.
They successfully manage large farm
and dairy. They made last year S12,-
900 for themselves, besides producing a
great deal of food, and making numer-
ous articles for the school. This school
furnishes the Indian service harness,
wagons and tinwarc. 1t is an immense
workshop, and all the labor is performed
by Indians, the white employees directing
| them.
And at the commencement these same
lads and lassies, who work half the time
with their hands, showed that they put
in the other half to good advantage with
their books. Their essays, orations, de-
clamations and songs would compare IA
vorably with those of any white high
school, 4 omaha World.

Reports of suffering and starvation
come to the Chicago Neos from several
fishing colonies on the Newfoundland
coast. Natives have in some instances
been found subsisting on decayed seals.
There has been large emigration from
Newfoundland to the Canadian North
west. The troubles of the inhabitants of
the island seem to be augmented by a
conflict over French fishing rights be-
tween the colony and England, their
mother country, The Premier of New
foundland is quoted in a recent speech
as advocating open war with England OF
else annexation to the United States. AS
Newfoundland's war resources are too
insignificant for serious consideration, the
solution offered by annexation would
probably be approved if submitted to a
vote Of the people.

The New York Sun says Delight
fullest among the humors of the census
is the case of the Minneapolis enumera-
tors who came poaching within the limits
of the rival city of st. Paul, seeking
whom to enumerate. Promptly st. Paul
arrested them. Then st. Paul carried
the war into Minneapolis and seized more
enumerators with their plant. Part of
this consisted of lists b Scandinavian
surnames and forenames, the which, be-
ing compounded after the manner of
drugs, created enumerated citizens of
Minneapolis. st. Paul had no mind to
take any such medicine and shrilled ex-
exceedingly. Then Minneapolis found
Minneapolis dog enumerated on st,
Paul's list as Carl Baxter, colored, and
st. Paul dropped. All the proceedings
are under the patronage of live Business

Some Enormous Hammers.

sightseers in St. Louis, Mo-, always
take lively interest in the monster trip
hammers used in the various large iron
works, which, although as large as any
thing Of the kind to be found within the
limits of the United States, are but
pigmies when compared with those used
in the great rolling mills and gun
foundries of Europe At the Terni
works in Italy there is a hammer which
weighs fifty tons. 1t was cast in 1878,
and is said to have taken ninety days to
cool sufficiently to admit Of being set in
position. AleXandrovski, Russia, has
one ten tons heavier that was cast in
1874. At the Crenstot works in France
there is one of eighty tons. 1t was made
in 1877 and sets on an anvil block Of 16O
tons weight. The Cockerille works IN
Belgium have a 100-ton hammer, and the
Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany,
have one of $50 tons. The last named
hammer is the largest now used in tn,

In the manufacture of paper this coun-
try has been making tremendous strides
during the last few years. The industry
has been brought to such high state of
development, and the production re-
duced so much in cost by improved ma
chinery and the successful use of wood
pulp under a special process, that large
export trade has been established, par
ticularly with England, A market has
also been found in Australia and else
where.

Nor passion nor despair
A way of help hath found. -

With threads thyseh hast wound.

The threads its shuttles hold.

To choose what yet will be.

With labor and with praise;

Our esteemed contemporary. the
Evening Express, can claim the honor
of having fabricated the latest accusa-
ton against Mayor Pond. 1t says that
he was saloon-keeper up in Chico. 1t
is true that in that town, in the early
pioneer days, Mayor Pond and General
Bidwell, the latter the present Temper
ance and American candidate for gov
ernor, both sold whisky, but they both
kept general merchandise stores. "Fire-
water" was always part of the stock of
such concerns, and it is not surprising
that it was, considering the prevalence
of rattlesnakes in the early days in Cal
ifornia. 1t is legend around Chico,
however, that the whisky sold at Ponds
store vas several degrees better than
that dispensed at BidwelPs.

THE Argonaut has made specially
venomous attack upon Mr.. Fl. G. Hall,
the Democratic candidate for state su
perintendent of public schools, and rep
resents him as one OF the Pope's Irish
and a determined enemy of our
school system. AS matter of fact, Mr..
Hall was born in California and obtained
his education in one of our public
schools, with which he has been identi-
fed since boyhood. He became a
teacher at eighteen, and has pursued
this honorable avocation for seventeen
years. He is splendidly equipped in all
lines of scholarship and Is good speaker
and successful educator. The attempt
to injure him will fail of its purpose.
No man would administer our public
schools more in the spirit in which they
were created than Mr.. Hall.

THERE is singular unanimity amongst
the late business associates of Colonel
Markham in arraigning that gentleman's
business integrity and in repudiating
him, body, boots and breeches. The
latest instance of this is to be found in
the notice to the public which appears
elsewhere under the signature of Mr..
John Goldsworthy, one of Mr.. Mark
hams partners in his mining ventures.
The Republican press has extensively
an endorsement of their can
didate for governor written by Mr..
Goldsworthy in 1884. That was year
in which the Republican Mephistopheles
was to them all an angel of light. They
the1i basked under what they supposed
to be his white wings. They thought
that butter would not melt in MS mouth.
They only discovered his perfdy later.
1t is not what the contiding Goldsworthy
of 1884 has to say that interests the pub
lie, 1t is what the betrayed Goldswor-
thy of later date thinks of Markham
that is material.

cause they ought to be.
That nobody knows any Democrats

while nearly every one knows plenty OF

That the surest way to beat Stanford
is to vote against Carpenter, Moore and
Marion.
That on their merits alone, If on no
other considerations, Hon. John Wolf
skill, General John R. Matthews and
Judge A. M. Bragg should be sent to the
next legislature. They ought to be sent,
besides, because they each represent O
vote pledged to send friend of the
people to the senate of the United States
as the successor of Stanford.
That the Democratic county ticket, on
the whole, is one of the best ever placed
before the people.
That it represents an honest aspira-
tion of the masses for retrenchment and
reform.
That it will be elected.
That the Republican county ticket
aims to succeed Republicans who lave
made the name smell rank to heaven by
all sorts OF malversations, peculations
and mal-administration.
That it will be beaten, as it ought to
be, on every ground of common sense

A GAME OF BRAG.

There have been few more audacious
games of brag than that which has char
acterized the present Republican cam
paign. Beginning it, as the Republican
managers did, in half-hearted, demoral-
lied condition, with a candidate who
was represented to be popular at the
south to countervail his known unpopu-
larity in the north, the Republicans
were beaten before the battle. No body
of men who ever figured in American
politics knew this fact better than they
There was but one recourse, and that
was devout awaiting for the arrival OF
the Stanford sack, and the happy day
was known not to be later than the mid
die of October. The cunning idea then
seized upon the Republican managers
that the certainty of sack of mammoth
proportions could be used as an ameli-
Grating agency in the canvass, and
made to vitalize it, so to speak.
Mr.. Dan Burns, with the prof
its of his Mexican mines, and
the presence in his trowsers' pockets of
$31 900 appropriated from the treasury
OF the state of California, was equal to
the occasion. He walked round to the
well-known cigar store of Nose Gunst,
in San Francisco, and instructed that
enterprising merchant, as part of the
game of bluff, to say that he had $4,000
to bet at odds of 500 to $50, that Mark
ham would be the next governor of
California. When Mr.. Alderman, the
chairman of the executive committee
OF the Democratic state central COM
mittee, heard of this brag, he thought
