A ,Lon<shoreman,s Sense of Modesty.


You would hardly believe what silly
ideas some rough, uneducated men have
about propriety," said the nurse, as she
smoothed cut the pillow. and rearranged
the bed covers with a gentleness and a
dexterity that recalled to the patient the
ministering hand of mother to her sick
boy. 81 recellect nursing a big long
shoreman when / was in the hospital,
who had an idea of chivalry which, mis-
taken and nonsensical though it was,
yet was refreshing in one of his class.
He had been in some fight in shop near
the river, and had received number of
bad wounds. His antagonist had cut
right for his heart, and had made three
or four gaping slashes in his chest.
seThe injured man was one of the best
built men ever saw, and if his chest
had not been padded with thick mus
cles, he would have been murdered out
right. AS it was, he was in a critical
condition, and only the best care and
treatment could save his life. The sur
geons dressed his wounds the first few
days, and then turned the task over to
me. l went up to the patient, whose
name was jackson, the next day, and
began to lay back the covers of the bed.
"'What are You doingP' he asked.
"I am going to dress your wounds,
answered.
"sYou. ladyr he said in astonish-
ment
"'Of course; come, no nonsense
went on, for he had grasped the cover in
his weak hands and was trying to pre-
vent my laying it back. l tried to argue
with him, but he blushed and said dog
gedly that he wouldn't let a lady dress
his wounds told him he would die if
he didn't let me take care of him, but he
said he didn't care if he did, so had to
send for the surgeon. After several days
the patient was persuaded to let me
dress the wounds, but he turned crimson
when he barred his chest for me, al
though he had to expose little more than
society woman does when she wears a
ball gown. Well, the 'longshoreman got
well, and since then I have been con-
vinced that the coarsest men are not
without instincts of gentility. New

The following advertisement, published
by prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as a punishment for sin:
''Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
ton, you are to be afflicted with cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? 1t is only necessary
to take Chamberlain Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and in
most cases will effectually counteract it,
and cure what would have been severe
cold within one or two days time. Try it
and be convinced" Fifty cent bottles fo1

Hereafter in this state the term of
Office of county assessors will commence
ON the first Monday of March next fol-
lowing their election, SO that assessors
now in Office will have nearly year ad-
ded to their terms.
The above paragraph has appeared in
many of our exchanges. We may not
understand it, but we rise to say that it
has been both the law and the custom
for years for assessors to commence their
term of office ON the first day of March
next following their election. Every
assessor now in Office in the state COM
menced the term for which he was elect
ed last June on the first day of this
month. Where then does the "nearly a
year added" come in? Will somebody
rise and explain? There is surely a
blunder somewhere.

The 1En,es-Mountaineer alluding to the
"Epitaph" which appeared in yester-
days CHRONICLE says:
''Shades of Shakespeare, Byron and
Pope protect us! If the B., c. and l..
B. organ will not inflict us with any such
doggerel as it did this evening, we will
willingly subscribe towards making up
the $l25 month salary of the defunct
preacher. If this is a child of Gourlay' IS
brain, it is a pity he ever quit farming
and preaching"
For shame, Brother Michel! One re-
tired minister should never thus speak
of another. Come now, isn't this the
case? You tried to be preacher and
couldn't. Gourlay could have been a
preacher and wouldn't. Then you see
when your brains were all burned up in
the fire that burned your manuscripts
you couldn't make a lawyer, and a
''stickely'' lawyer, as the Scotch say, is
poor material for an editor. So you are
failure all round.

The First idea of Perpetual Melton.

Honecourt. Flemish architect of the
thirteenth century, left a drawing Of a
wheel that was to solve the problem of
perpetual motion with this menoran-
dunn: Many a time have shllful work
men tried to contrive wheel that shall
turn of itself. Here is 3 way to make
such q one, by an uneven number of
maliets or by quicksilver" But unfort-
unately he did not leave the wheel.
From his time on seekers after perpet-
nal motion have been numerous, many
of them supposed to be very respectable
and intefhgent men. Among the receiv-
ers of eighty-six English and twenty
three RSench patents taazen out for per-
petual motions between 1880 and 1859
were a colonial bishop, a professor of
philosophy, one Of languages, two bar
ons, Knight Tempiar. doctor of med

SHOULD BE REPREsENTED.

The state board of agriculture has
taken up the matter of raising $4,000
for proper representation of the state at
the worlds fair in 1898. There certainly
should be public spirit enough in Oregon
to raise that amount. It is hardly
enough, but beats nothing. The board
has appointed committee to attend to
this important matter. The idea is to
have five delegates from each county to
meet in Portland June 18th, to devise
ways and means for raising the money,
and how best to use it.

Yornburg, Stefe and Reayes about three. quarters cf mile from Pioneer. He had left Varnburg's camp at Fl Capitan 21 days before. and during all that time had wandered aimlessly about Pinal mountain and without food ex- cept such wild fruit etc. ss he was able to find, diet not conducive to corpu- lency, and those who remember his former round figure scarcely recognize him now, so ematiated has he become When he found he was scarcely able to walk and in few days, at furthest, must have succumbed to starvation. He seemed indifferent as to his fate and expressed a preference for the cool shade of on adjacent bush to going to camp with his rescue,s He was so weak that he had almost to be carried to Pioneer Upon his arrival in Globe he made a raid upon a Chinese hash house, and ate with such yorncity thas the Chinese attendant had to compel hirn to desist, for fear he would choke himself to death.

The first half of the year 1891 was [ season of unusual prosperity for the copper mining industry of Globe, Favored by good weather the greater portion of the time DO serious inter ruptions to teamiug were suffered, and an excellent demand for Globe copper, which rauks second only 10 Lake cop per, has stimulated production It is unnecessary, perhaps, to add that the supply of uge has been abundant. The Old Dominion Company has had two furnaces in blast, and the Buffalo one, almost continuously, and uotwithstaud- ing tue large quantities of ore smelted the supply is undiminiahed, the Old Dominion Co.'S mine, especially, show ing fat ore bodies.
 The outpUt of the silver mines of Globe District, has also been consider ablc; Pioneer, Richmond Basin, Quart zito aud other localities in the district have contributed to swell the produc. ton of silver, most of which has gone to Eastern reduction works for treat ment The Rescue Silver Mining Co i, hy far the largest producer, have mined more than 300 tons of ore assayiug $500 or more per ton in silver.

So LEGAL ELECTION.

The election for school trustee
 which was to have taken place on Sat
 urday last did not legally crystalize by
 reason of non observance of law con,
 sequently there is still legal vacancy
 which can only be lawfully flied by ap.
 pointment by the Probate Judge, ex.
 officio county School Superintendent. The trustees, although not legislators, in creating law to suit their views contrary to the statutes, they may be credited with the desire to render the occasion novel, pleasant and instructive. There is T conflict of opinion between the respective legislative bodies as to the place where the election of trustees shall be held. The Territorial general assembly named the school house as the place. The Giobe School Trustees wouldn't have it so, and named the court house, and being the ranking au- thority their dictum prevailed, and ns a consequence the polls were opened and closed in that temple of justice Another question has arisen upon which there Is contrarity of opinion, and that is, whether or not man who pays Q poll tux is qualified elector at school elections The judges on the occasion referred to decided that they were not. and refused to receive their ballots. The revised statutes have this, how ever, to say: Upon receiving the money for poll taxes from the Collector and issuing his receipt therefor, the Treasurer shail immediately pass ffe same to the credit of the school fund of his county" The law further provides that ''eyery person who paid Territo- rial or eoptty school tax shall be enti- tied to vote at aay school district elec. ton r however, is to the credit of the judges and clerks of election, while deciding Ill the manner above stated, they were sufficiently conscientious noi 10 imperil the decision, by voting. Though by not exercising the rigb. 1t may be inferred that they were not electors, which if true, they unwitting- ly acknowledged the potency of the long established rule of law that no one not an elector can act AS judge or clerk of an election.
 The legal adviser, m matters pertain ing to the county, as well as the County School Superintendent, expressed the opinion to the writer that there had been grave irregularities committed, and direct infraction of the provis- iQps of the statute regulating school elections
