MYSTERIES OF MATURE.

In world where It is very desirable
TO be entertained and not always easy
to find entertainment, there is a great
deal to be got out Of u discreet ~consid-
Grafton of the mysteries of life, says q
writer in Scribner's. They give one
something 70 theorize about in odd mo-
mcnts, and to have theories about them
gives one an interest in whole series
and classes OF facts which seem TO At in
with such theories or to upset them. If
the facts won't fit the theory, then there
Is the theory TO change, and 20 have
ones theory driven into new shape ia
the next best thing to having it justified.
There was . little tale in the news-
paper the other day about MIR. Edison,
that he held up his finger and bent it,
and asked: What does that2" Failing
20 get satisfactory reply, he said he
was trying TO find out what is the force
that pulls the strings that make ami
mate creatures move. That is one of
the great mysteries-the mystery OF
motion. IS is that, we are told, that
Mr. Keely, the motor man, has been
brooding over for several decades past.
Mr.. Keely's experience has not been
such as 70 encourage any poor man TO
theorize On this subject for q living;
nevertheless, 1t is q great subject for o
mind to dwell upon in its le,sure mo-
ments Newton was thinking about IL
when the apple fell and gave him an
idea that was of value to him and has
t'een useful ever since. There Is nll
waysthis advantage about having ones
mind run on something In particular,
that even II it does not bring down
what IL is aimed at IL Is moro likely TO
hit something else that Is worth while
than If it WAS wandering aimlessly.

County Official Paper.
IOWA sIcTs AN EXAMPLE.

Since the State OF Iowa which GEN
orally rolled up from sixty to eighty
thousand majority for the Republican
ticket became Democratic Il is set-
ting the silver producing States an
example they would do we'll to follow.
Horace Beies, who became Disguised
with Republican hypocrisy and left
the party, was nominated for Gov
ernor on q free coinage platform by
the Democrats and elected, a. was
the whole Democratic State ticket.
Now tho Legislature has passed o bill
making silver full tender for all
debts hereafter contracted in the
State.
A majority OF the people Of Iowa
are sincere in their demand for FREQ
coinage, and not only elect the ticket
that fayore it, but the Legislature
aims 70 put the State on q silver
basis. Here in Ne.ada, where silver
is the principle product of the State,
the dominant party processes for po-
ltical purposes to be in favor of silver,
but it has not proved the sincerity of
it's professions, as the dominant party
in Iowa is doing. Here the law
makes every debt payable in gold
coin Of the United States, there they
proPose to make debts payable in sill
YER coin. Here we produce millions
in silver; there they do not produce
All ounce Of the metal. Here the
dominant party, while pretending to
favor bimetalisn, Endorses Harrison's
Administration; there many who
voted for Harrison four years ago
have gone with Boies and are now op-
posed TO the Little Man in the White
House.
Nevada needs a political shaking I'D
fully % much az DID Iowa and Kan
Sas. Our Legislature bndies disregard
the will of the people, constitution
ally expressed, and refuse in the face
OF majority vote in it's favor to call a
Constitutional Convention to adapt
Our government to our present cir
Cumstsnces. Last year the expendi-
lures of the Government exceeded the
receipts by over $4,000, and, though
there is no probability Of the revenue
being increased, no effort has been
made to reduce expenses.-I Reno

New Use for Chickens.

The story Of the goose that laid the
golden eggs may have been good anec-
dote In the good old times before the
great west Was discovered, but story
from Butte, Mont, overtops il. A few
days ago j. A. McConville, who lives In
Montsna street, killed one OF his chick
ems for dinner, and was surprised to find
y quantity OF gold nuggets in its crop aud
gizzard. Having ,l'irty.one chickens
that had scratched in the same patch, he
began post-mo TEN prospecting on them.
In each chicksn he found nuggets, and
the total qianti'y gathered had cash
value OF 1887. The gold was sold to the
State National Bank and pronounced
eighteen carat fine. Mr.. McCOnville
bought fifty chickens and turned them
out to do scratch mining on the gold
fields surrounding his hencoop. After
four days he killed one chicken and
mined ~ worth OF gold from It's crop.

The s,ivse League object.

There are more than $1,000 voters in
Colorado who have signed pledge not
20 vote for any man Tor any Office who is
DOT an advocate OF the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver, running on n platform
which uneqniSocally favors free coinage.
The old politicians are betting that these
10000 men are liars and viii not keep
the pledge. None Of the politicians have
joined this movement. 1t springs from
the people aud Is Of and for the people
and politicians cannot undersiand its
strength. In this citv over Il 90 men
have joined the club and u speech has
never yet been made TO get meeting or
signers. The politicians do not come il
because they say the pledge is too r,di
cal. We are glad they think 81. II Mas
intended to say ~hat IL meant. The
hand that penned this penned that
pledge which more than loo, 900 men IN
Colorado, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Ore
gon and Washington have signed and
the intent that guided It was to make u
pledge. 10 strong that shifting and trin-
ming triexey politicians could not sign it.
They are not wanted yet. This is u
movement Of principle, not policy.
So far as the editor Of the Industry is
concerned he went into this movement
TO get an organization Of earnest adyo.
Gates OF silver coinage. II. believed that
no good work could be done without or
gaDIzation. L, is the first and indisput-
able step necessary TO achieve success
and the work Of the State Silver League
has been devoted almost wholly to the
organization Of = silver party in the silver
states first, with the intention Of spread
ing all over the country AS Iapidly as
possible. Silver coinage is q political
issue and the way to achieve it, is po-
litical way. Any other is nonsensical.-

Speaking OF rich mines and the strange
turn Of fortunes wheel which sometimes
make men rich or poor, the several
Arizonians in this city are talking Of a
lonely. almost forgotten, grave st Whip

IL is that Of Thomas Riley, q valian,
soldier. He fought the Apaches amidst
the lavs-rocks and on the blazing desert.
never shirking anything, no difference
how hazardous, Il it was necessary. The
year Was 1850, and at that time he was
in the rrime oi life, having arrived at the
age OF forty. He was ambitious, had 1T.
erary tastes somewhat oddly, consider

There WAS romance in his lie. 1t
had caused him TO join the regular army.
but now there had been reconciliation,
and, his time being within year or 80
of being out, he did not need much for
the rounding out Of his hopes-only
wealth.
In the top Of an old dead crater one
day, when, gun in hand, he was making
reconnaissance, he found some curious
whitish metal. Probing through the
broken lava he soon uncovered more Of

King about which and its richness all
are more or less familiar.
Riley returned to his post, but said
not word to any one OF his discovery.
Shortly thereafter an order came to the
troops TO proceed to Fort Wingate, and
eventually to other posts. 1t was two
years later, when Riley, having over
come all obstacles, at last got back to his
mine. Then he got number OF his old
time friends to 20 with him. Among
them was A. H. People Of Phenix.
With their knives they picked out
large amount OF silver. Il was suhstan-
TALLY pure, being largely wire silver,
and easy to get out. Much OF il, how
ever. was IN different iorn.
With this, with none Of the appliances
OF modern mining, they could do moth
ing. Riiry's hopes we're raised high,
hut just when he had millions in his
grasp he suddenly sickened and died.
Not word ever went back to his East
era home, or came from there regarding
him, for no one knew the address Of any
Of his people. The great mine fell into
other hands and to-day the discoverer,
whose hopes were 20 high, lies nan al

when Money was Plenty.

There Is a class of men, particularly
in the western country, who get into the
habit Of stretching the truth of incidents
which occurred in their pioneer days un-
til they become to believe them as facts.
One of the most scientific of these is Jim
Hawthorne, whose home now is near
White Pine, Gunnison county. Here is
one Of Jim's stories: "Me and my pard-
ner," he observed, "made more money
In them days than we knew what to do
with. For instance, when we had that
big government contract for wood we
was rollin in money. Money was com
moner than chipmunks, and it wasn't
much good to us neither, cause we didn't
have no stores to spend 1t at. That con-
tract was for $4,000 cords of wood. We
got $175 cord, and we made money
very easy" "What was the government
doing with so much wood2' swell, /
don't know. Some of it was used by
the Indians. The government just had
IL left around handy for clambakes.

were very common In them days on the
Platte" ibid you deliver the full con-
tractg" mo. We kind Of let up after
we had delivered DO, 900 cords. We didn't
want to bust the government. / just
tell this to show you how plenty money
was In them days. Colorado Sun.

Keene,s Pines,

A good deal has been written in vari-
GUS quarters with regard to the little
Elizabethan pipes in which the late
Charles Keene took such great delight.
I cannot help thinking that the persist
ent smoking of these pipes must have
done no little injury to his health. The
pipes were SO short, they became SO
charged with nicotine and he SO persist
emily smoked them at every opportunity
that cannot help thinking he must
have absorbed large amount of poison
into his system.
No one, unless he had smoked one OF
Keene's pipes, could have the least idea
OF its strength. / remember trying one
at his studio one evening, and though a
pretty tough tobbaconalian l shall never
forget how my head was affected and
all the pains endured in consequence.
/ had all the symptoms of suffering
from the effects of powerful narcotic
poison. London Graphic.

They were conspicuous in the throng,
and many al admiring glance was

shrugged her shoulders.
"You speak," she observed, ''like one
who had made the sacrifice"
II have the right so to speak"
Affecting recollections poured tumul-

For time they walked in silence.
Both were deeply affected, the one filed
with remembrances Of the past; the
other her resentment gone. with wo-
manly sympathy.
