A surprising feature of mountain

A surprising feature of mountain
climbing is the sense of great mental
and physical exhileration it imparts.
As one mounts higher and higher he
is astonished to discover that the
toiling upwards does not exhaust,
but refreshes, until, presently, he is
in the condition of the man who
thanks God for the mere fact of phys
ical existence. This result is due to
the unususl filling of the lungs with
the purest of air, the forcing of the
blood through all the extremities by
the exertion, and the continual pleas
ure derived by the succession of
splendid views unfolded to the sight.
1t is popular and healthful exercise.

The late convention at Silver City
has stirred up some ill-feeling here
rnd there, which was wise counsel
and liberal concessions on both sides
can allay. We are not disposed to
join in the controversy, but prefer to
do all in our power to bring about
harmony in the Republican ranks.
A couple of communications from two
different correspondents are publish

hope the matter will rest. If old

CAUSES SURPRISE.

LONDON, April 25.-A dispatch
has been received here from the
United States, stating that England
had intimated her readiness TO join a
conference to bring about an en-
larged use of silver, has caused much
surprise in city circles. No belief is
put in that part of the report which
states that the basis of conference
was formulated by the London Times,
which today says it is not easy to see
what "enlarged use" can mean. The
Times adds: ga decided majority Of
those competent to judge regard the
issue as not based on silver with
great disfavor. A certain amount of
silver could be employed to increase
the intrinsic value of our token cur
rency, which at the present price Of
the metal is overvalued to an extent
considerably greater than necessary
or desirable, but the general sense of
the community is steadfastly opposed
to anything like an attempt to reha-
bilitate silver. The result of the
employment of the American treasury
as a pig silver warrant store house
has not been so satisfactory as to en-
courage imitation"

How to Civilize the Indians.

Miss Collins, Maine girl who has
been out among the Dakotas as a mis-
sionary, says the way to civilize the In
dams is by nurses, rather than by
preachers and teachers. instruction in
the care Of the sick, the nature of dis
ease and the proper use Of medicine re-
leases them from the influence Of the
medicine man" It is these who,
working on the superstitious minds Of
the Indians, are the greatest obstacles
to their civilization. The Indians have
been peculiarly susceptible to epidemic
diseases, which have created greater
ravages than war and privation COM
bined. Miss Collins instances an cpl
demic Of measles in which cleanliness
and nursing saved every life but that
Of child whose grandmother was q
medicine woman. When the influence
Of the medicine man is gone as healer
of the body he has lost his power as a
spiritual director, and the Indians

A REAL titled person is at present
playing in concerts in New York. This
distinction Is achieved by Princess Dol
gorouly, who is the ''solo violinist and
musical director to her majesty the
empress of Russis." The princess is
said to be good performer on the vio-
lin, and it proves to Americans that
when really necessary to fight for fame
and fortune titled folks can do some
thing, after all 1t is one thing to be
born great, and another thing alto
gether to prove ones self worthy Of sus-
tanning greatness. But, perhaps, the
p rincess may be an exception to the
general run of princesses who do not
find it necessary to do anything to sus-
tain their position.

three wounded in all. Two persons were
carried q distance of two blocks in such a
direction that they would have to be
lifted over three story building to get
