A Pioneer Ministcr'3 Sermon ON the Sin.
fuiness OF Scandal.
Rev. Mr.. Haynes, one of the pioneer
ministers of Rutland, VT, was famous
for his pithy sayings. At one time, ac-
cording to Royal Tyler, says the
Youths Companion, he overheard
his daughter md some young friends
criticising certain neighbors more se-
vercly than was pleasing to him, where
upon he proceeded to read them lee
/ turc on the sinfulness of scandal
''But, father" demonstrated his daugh-
ter. tive must say something"
'If you can do nothing better" re-
torted Mr.. Haynes, dryly, "get pump
kin and roll it about. That will be at
least innocent diversion"
Not long afterward conference of
ministers met at his house. During the
evening an earnest discussion of cer-
tain points of doctrine arose, and from
the lofty pitch of some OF the voices it
seemed as If a part of the disputants, at
least, were In danger Of losing their
temper.
At that juneturc Mr.. Haynes daugh-
ter quietly entered the room. bearing q
huge yellow pumpkin. She put it down
in front of her father, and said:
"There, father, roll it about; roll it
about"
Mr.. Haynes was called upon for an
explanation, and good humor was re-
stored.
At another time revival was in
progress in the parish. and some of the
young zealots were ridiculed. They
went to Mr.. Haynes and complained of
certain scandalous reports that had been
circulated.
II knew oil this before" said Mr..
Haynes.
why did you not tell us?" cried Que
Of the young persons, in an injured tone.
why? My dear friends said the
old minister, his eyes twinkling, "be-
cause it is best to let Satan carry his
own mail and pay his own postage"

There used to be-and may be yet

Jack Long" One night Jack was
alone at his engine 'oiiing up the ma

the passengers, were at supper in the
dingy eating house. The train was
long one and the engine was well away
from the little cluster of buildings.
Suddenly, throw up your hands! was

Jack slipped his hand from bulb to

edged around the head of the locon.o-

closely followed by the temporizirg
holder-up. When the man was SO well

heavy oiler for bludgeon, and. when

LEGENDS AgouI Tt5E POTATO.
Queer Stories About Its Introduction
Into Russia aud England.

Queer Stories About Its Introduction
Into GusaL, aud England.
When potatoes were first introduced
into Russia by Mr.. Rowland (the ex-
act date of the introduction of the
tuber into that benighted country being
subject of controversy, but usually
set down at 1T01) the people would
neither plant nor touch them. They
declared them to be the DEVILS fruit,
and that they were given to his Satanic
majesty on his complaint to God that
he had no fruit. God told him to
search the earth for food" Where
upon the poor devil fell to digging in
the earth and found potatoes growing
therein.
A similar legend seems to have OBJ
tanned credit among the staid British
ers in Berwicl1shirc, England. In that
shire the introduction of potatoes is
popularity attributed to Sir Michael
Scott, one known all over Europe as
"The Wizard of the North" According
to the story Michael and the devil
formed copartncrship and took the
lease Of farm on the Mertown estates,
called the "Whitehouse." Michael was
to manage the farm; the devil the cap
ital; the produce was to be divided in
the following manner:
The first year Michael was to have oil
that grew above the ground, and the
devil oil that grew beneath the surface;
the second year shares were to be
divided in Just the opposite Way His
Satanic majesty, strange to say, was
badly beaten by the willy Michael, for
that parsonage, with true Scottish fore
sight, sowed all the land TO wheat the
first year and planted it all in potatoes
the second. So the poor devil got
nothing but wheat stubblc and potato
tops. How these absurd legends orig
mated no one seems to know, but the
fact remains that the peasantry of both
Russia and England even to tins day
frequently allude to potatoes as devils
fruit"

A RUSSIAN BELL.
Returned to Its Cid Home After Bar
ishment OF Three Centuries.

Returned to Its Cid Home After BAN
ishment of Three Centuries.
A distinguished Siberian exile snugly
packed in wooden box and honored
with the regretful farewells of whole
population has just been returned to
European Russia under an escort of
committee of citizens glad to receive it
back after its many privations. The
said exile is no other than the famous
bell of Uglich, banished to Tobolsk in
1898 by order of Gear Boris Godunoff
for having rung the signal for the in
surrection in Uglich Mt the time of
the assassination of Crown Prince
Dimitri. Writing Of it in his book Mr..
Kennan says: The exiled bell has
been purged of its iniquity, has received
ecclesiastical conservation, and now
calls the orthodox people of Tobolsk to
prayers. The inhabitants of Uglich
have recently been trying to recover
their bell upon the plea that it has
been sufficiently punished by three
centuries Of exile for its political un-
trustworthincss in 1903, and that it
ought now to be allowed to return to
its nome. The mayor OF IoDolsk argues
that the bell was eliled for life, and
that consequently it's term of banish-
ment has not yet expired He contends,
furthermore, that even admitting the
original title of the Uglich people, three
centuries of adverse possession by the
city of Tobolslc have divested the
claimants of all their rights, and that
~
where it is. The question, it is said,
will be carried into the Russian courts"
The latest news from Tobolsk, besides
showing that decision has been
reached in favor of Uglich, illustrates,
says Free Russias, the inconsequential
character Of Russian justice, which
closes its tribunals to the wrongs of
thousands Of sufferers in Siberia and
opens them 90 miserable squabble
about bell.

GYPSY LIFE AS IT is.

In It-A Sample Brick.-
A gypsy train wended its way slowly
down Market street, Philadelphia, the
other day and finally drew up in front
of beer saloon. 1t consisted of an old
covered wagon drawn by q pair of
scraggy chestnut horses, man, who
was evidently the chief, riding on big,
raw-boned, gray horse, using d rope as a
bridle, and hitched to the back of the
wagon the proverbial trade horse. The
chief dismounted from his horse and
went into the saloon, leaving his wife,
who had been driving the wagon, to
hitch the animal and to water the horses
at the trough by the curb The Press
says it did not take long for number
OF children to gather and look in won-
der at the unaccustomed sight. Super
stitlon kept them ut distance for
awhile, but curiosity conquered fear,
and one boy finally pluclsed up courage
enough to peep into the back of the
wagon. He did not see very much, only
the woman who had attended the horses,
dark-eyed, black-haired young girl
and two dirty, olive-hued little boys,
who were quarrcling over small kit
ten. Besides these, there was roll of
dirty canvas, evidently used as tent, a
few pots and tin pans and number of
blankets. The boy retired to the pave
ment with a look of intense disgust on
his face. These specimens were not his
ideal of gypsies.
Fifteen minutes passed and the chief
had not returned from the saloon where
noises of laughter and shouting could
be heard at intervals. The woman in
the wagon was becoming impatient and
came to the front Of the vehicle every
few moments and cast angry glances
toward the saloon. Soon the wife's pa
thence became exhausted and she de-
scended from the wagon and entered
the saloon with q determined step. In
two minutes she rcappeared, dragging
her husband along by the collar of his
coat She dragged him across the pave
ment and by en- almost superhuman eff
fort into the wagon. lie was tumbled
over the front seat and left lying where
he fell to recover his senses The wom-
an was then master of affairs. She or
dered The young girl to drive the
wagon and she hcrnclf straddled the
gray nag, and the train moved off down
the street followed by crowd of shout
ing boys.

Astounding Figures.
CARSON, May Z, 1892.

Mr.. S. NJ. Davies of Ouray Cal.
in an admirable address TO the silver
club of that city, among other things,
said:
If the people of the West and
South viii only unite in one solid
body or victory will be won.
Mr.. Hall gave you some enormous
figures few weeks ago, and he is
not wrong i'll them, either. He says
the mining States were robbed OF
99tG3, $685. $50. Do you know that it
would take 100 cars to haul 1t if it
were in silver dollarsl He says the
cotton growers loss. in twenty years
is $500, 100000. 1t would take
490 cars to haul it. The wheat
growers loss, $1,000 900, 100000
Shaking a solid train of 1000
cars to move this enormous steal from
the producers of this country. 1t
would take train of wagons, giving
twenty-five feet to the wagon and
horses, and 1000 on each wagon,
ifty>seven miles long to haul it.
Now do you grasp this enormous
robbery of the peoolel You can see
that if the people have been robbed
of this vast sum someone must have
it. Who are they? The plutocrats
have it all, and they are using it to
day to bind the letters more firmly
on the laborers and producers of this
country.

To The Washoes:
Captain jim and Dick Bender

purpose of obtaining aid from the

the following as the result Of their
effort:
They had two interviews with the
Commissioner of Indian fairs, first
with Senator Stewart, and second
with Mr.. Bartine. The Commits
sioner acknowledges their cause IS a
Just one, and that the Z. S. Govern

one thousand (Sl.000) dollars CT the
Emergency Fund for their immediate
relief for the assistance of the old,
feeble and infrm.
The money will be sent to Mr..
Gibson, Superintendent of the Indian
School, and by him be applied to the
best possible advantage for their bene-
fit. Afterward he viii join Senators
Jones and Stewart and Mr.. Bartine
in an effort to procure legislation for
their permanent relief.
The session is now so far advanced
that it may not be possible to enact a
suitable law before next Winter; but
at that time, the delegation IN Con

no difficulty in procuring legislation

SutrO May Revive.

Since the burning Of the Eureka
mill the ore frcm the Con. Virginia
mine is being worked in the Morgan
mill at Empire. This is d steam
mill, and it has not the capacity that
the Eureka had, and consequently
cannot handle all the ore coming
from the mine. Neither can the ore
be worked as cheaply at the Morgan.
These facts have caused rumors to
the effect that mill may possibly
be built at Sutro and the ore taken
out through the tunnel. This method
of extraction and transportation
would be much cheaper than any
other, and in a short time would
save the price of the construction of
a mill. Such a move would no doubt
lead to other mines than the Con-
Virginia shipping ore through the
tunnel and in time a number of mills
might be at work at this place and
