SHARP GAMES.

The Tin ore capitalists had 10 work a
"alick" dodge in order 10 capture the tin
producing mines In the Black Hills.
James Wilson, Senator Payne, Of the
Standard Oil company, and others built
mill In 1883 in the Black Hills for the
purpose Of working the tin ore While
the mill was in process Of construction
miners who had tin prospects counted
themselves millionairiea. When the New
York men bought the property il was
the only Gin prospect then discovered Of
any apparent value, and they supposed
they had a monopoly, by the time their
mill was completed many claims had
been found In the vicinity and else
where that were apparently as rich If not
richer than those purchased by them,
But the New York syndicate said moth
ing and devoted los attention TO starting
the mill II ran it two weeks with New
York employees, not allowing any Black
Hills men inside the mill. After making
a cleanup, the mill wassshut down, and
reports circulated that the ore could not
be worked and was Of no commercial
value This was Il sumner TO the san
guine miners and their prospective
wealth dwIndled 10 small proportions.
They wanted to sell out at any price.
The excitement died out The "slick'
capitalists quietly bought up ten thou
sand acres Of prospects" incorporated
an English company Of S3,OOO0OO, got the
clause inserted in the Mckinley bill put
ting high tariff on tin plate, and are
now ready TO go in and make millions Of

Of matter 10, remarklng aa follows:
II the Official labor OF United States
Senator during q career OF almost eighteon
years has been unprOduotiyo OF benefit 20
this country and his state no should be re-
tired.
Now, by reason "of the official labor"
Of this "United States Senator during a
career Of almost eighteen years" having
been mainly "unproductive Of benefit to
this country and 10 his state, he not only
"should be retired" but il is morally GER
tain that he OiB "be retired"
The NeOs says that he addressed him
self TO "the legislative problem Of plac-
ing the nation upon a a stable foundation
from which II might rise upward 10
prosperity aud commercial supremacy"
and remarks that no act was more poten-
tlal 10 accomplish restored confidence
than the repeal Of tho salary grab, which
Ingalls, favored.
SENATOR INGALLS, COMPREHENSION or
FAIR SALARIES.
Hon. George @. Wright, United States
Senator from Iowa, introduced bill into
the Senate Of the United States, provid-
ing that from and after March 4, 1877,
the salary OF the president Of the United
States shall be $4,000 per annum. When
II passed the Senate Mr.. Ingalls, was one
Of twenty Senators who voted against II.
II was supported by Senators Allison
and Wilson, Of Iowa; Bogy and Cock
rell, Of Missouri; Christancylands Ferry
of Michigan; Clayton, Of Arkansas; Conk-
ling and Herman, Of New York; Dawes,
Of Massachusetts; Goldthwaite, Of Ala
bama; Hamilton and Maxey Of Texas;
Harvey, Of Kansas; Hitchcock, Of Ne
braska; Logan, Of Illinois, McCreery and
Stevenson, Of Kentucky; Mcdonald and
Morton, OF Indiana; Morrill,, OF Vermont;
Patterson, OF South Carolina; Thurman,
Of Ohioj Wallace, Of Pennsylvania, and
Whyte, Of Maryland.
In the House Of Representatives the
bill passed without division on motion Of
Hon. William s. Holman, Of Indiana.
When vetoed by President Grant the
Senate later acted upon the veto message
on the bill, and Senator Ingalls, was then
one Of the nineteen noes.
The Kansas farmer would be certainly
unable to discover any benefit to the peo-
pie Of his state In these votes of Ingalls,
on salaries, but the votes Of his colleague,
Senator Harvey, on this matter, met the
appreciation Of Kansas toilers.
SENATOR NGALL' RELATION TO FINANCE.
The NeDs applauds Senator ingalls, for
his vote to increase the issue of legal
tender notes to $44OOO,OOO, and also to
permit an additional circulation of $46,-
100000 to the national banks.
II may be said that President Grant
vetoed this measure, and that Congress
was therefore unable TO pass il.
In this connection perhaps some friend
Of Mr.. Ingalls, may not forget that him
self with John A,Logan Of Illinois and Ben
iamin f. Butler contemplated abandon
ing the republican party at that time, be-
cause Of the devotion of the party to the
money power of cbristendom, but Sena-
tor Ingalls, evidently got over his feeling
of dissatisfaction and became firm
champion Of hard money and national
banks. For ON June %, 1882, Senator

GEN. GIANTS LOG CABIN.

Among the deeds recently filed in
st. Louis County there is one from L.
H. Conn to Henry J. Weber, the
nurseryman, conveying to him 121
acres of land, being part Of the 100 acre
tract occupied by Gen. U. S. Grant and
his bride, nee Miss Julia Dent, where
they lived IN log cabin which JEFF
Sappington, G. d. Wolff, p. S. Ian
ham and other neighbors of the old
commander helped him to raise"
shortly after the wedding in 1857. Mr..
Conn bought the whole of the
Grant property, comprising 1913 acres,
at $50 an acre, in June, 1883, and
the historic. interest connected with the
place is mainly what stimulated him to
purchase it. Since then he has fire.
qnently remarked that he intended to
preserve every relic Of the cold COM
mander" that there was to be found
anywhere upon the property, and his
deed to Mr.. Weber indicates his inten-
ton of carrying out that idea, for it is
especially stipulated that the grantor
shall have the right to remove the sit
tie old log cabin" at any time within
two years from the date of sale.-St.

Last Prayer or a Horse Thief.

Having rested myself sufficiently,
during tour on foot, through Ireland,
I proceeded with my guide through the
graveyard toward the highest of the
ruined churches of Glendalough, which
is called the cathedral. In passing
along my guide directed my attention
to an old gravestone with round hole
in it.
"This, SIR" said he, sis the tomb Of
Garadh Duff, or Black and Yellow, the
horse stealer, whom st. Kelvin killed
for telling him lie. 1t happened as
follows:
"Black and Yellow was coming one
day over the ford, then above aud not
far from Laugh-na-peche, riding fine
black mare, with foal at her foot, and
meeting the saint, blessed Kelvin asked
him:
Where, Garadh, did you get that
fine beast?'
oh, I bought her from one Of the
Byrnes.'
That's lie, I know by your face,
you thief
oh, may I never stir out of this
spot says Garadh, If what / say is not
true
Dare you tell me so? Now, in
order to make liar and holy show of
you to the worlds end, I'll fix your foal
and mare there in that rock, and the
print of their hoofs shall remain for
ever, and you yourself must die and go
to purgatory.'
Well, if I must die, said the thief,
please me-. holy father, in one thing.
Bury me in your own churchyard and
leave hole in my tombstone, so that ii
any stray horse or COW should pass by.
1 may just push out my arm and make
snap at its leg, if it was nothing else
but to remind me Of my humor and
that [ may keep my temper during the
long day of the grave" = Irish

A Par,or W;,,-o'-Me- Tisp.

The natural phenome non of Jacksa-
Lantern or Will-o'-the- Wisp can be
produced by very simple means on q
small scale. It is, as most people
know, the effect Of hydro carbon gas,
generated by decomposing organic
matter in a marsh and in a state Of
combustion. If we take an open
mouthed glass jar and put some baking
soda in the bottom, then pour diluted
sulphuric acid, or muriatic acid, or
even strong vinegar over it, the jar fills
with carbonic acid gas. A lighted can
die msy then be carefully lowered into
the gas until the gas goes out, leaving
the top of the fame still burning on
the surface of the invisible gas.
The flame is fed by the gases ascend
ing from the smoldering wick. The ef-
feet only lasts short time, but it can
be renewed by raising up the candle
till the wick relights, then lowering
it again as before. The experiment
can also be performed with a gas jet,
but in this case the parallel is not SC
complete, for the candle produces the
gas by its decomposition on the spot.
1t is necessary that the air of the room
should be very still for the experiment
to bs successful.-Casselps Magazine.

IT WORKED BOTH WAYS.

Colonel Mosby relates the following
amusing incident, which occurred in a
cavalry charge in the Shenandoah Val
ley in 1864:
In the midst of sharp cavalry en-
gagement with Sheridan's men, in a
charge near Berryville, there came rid
ing into our lines, like whirlwind, a
Yankee soldier on black horse.
A score of men tried to stop horse
and rider, but the old blacks blood was
up, and he went on, clean through our
lines before he was under control.
The rider was sent to Libby Prison,
and we mustered the black charger into
the Confederate service.
A few days later we charged some Of
Clusters men, and that old horse was
ridden into the engagement by one OF
our soldiers. The old black evened
up things, too, for he carried his rider
into the Federal lines and never came
back.

madly along the cutters. Verify, was

How they 60 plunging to the depths

with knapsacks on their backs, yelled

wooden shoe in either hand, rush to the
flooded street and cry:

"Ich!-Ach-ja!-Ich auch !-Ich!-
Ich!" rang through the streets like the
cries of the lost Crusaders.
Every boy and a hundred girls ac-
copied the challenge. And so, on
either side the way, they ranged them
selves, and into the rushing cutters
launched their wooden shoes. 1t was a

whizzing and careering along like the
bouncing galleys Of the oldeu time.
The street rocked with excitement,
and the excitement rose to battle-cries

began to show individual qualities and

1t was Christmas morning, and as
snowy one as could be desired. There
had been two days storm and all the
fences were covered, the roofs were
piled, and all the caves hung low with
snow-wreaths.
In the yald little paths had been cut
through the deep snow to the we'll, the
barn and the corn-crib, but the road Law
all white and untrodden, and the fir
trees looked like great, white, airy
plumes.

1t was mile over to Aunt Tbs

Mamma had warm shoulder cape

pair of green silk wristers, and there
were many other little presents for the

across to her, as the roads would not be
broken out before night.
Mamma agreed, and DOMINIC their
odd little snow-shoes which Uncle Trib
(his name was Tribulation), Aunt Tbs

started off merrily over the smooth,
white fields and on into the woods.
