The immense mounds of rubbish indi-
eating the sites of Egyptian towns, ac-
cording to Mr.. Flinders Petre, have re
suited from the natural decay of the
mud-brick buildings. These heaps of
ruined walls aud earth aud potsherds
rise even to eighty feet high in some
places, but other ancient sites might not
attract notice on the open desert. The
higher the mount the longer the place
was inhabited. Much could be learned
of the towns at first sight, and prospect.
ing has become as scientific in autiqui-
ties as in geology. OF the results of
exploration, it may be said that We now
realize what the course of the arts has
been in Egypt. In the earliest days yet
known to us-about 1000 i. C.-we
find great skill in executing accurate
aud massive stone work, such skill as has
hardly ever been exceeded. We find
elaborate tools used, jewelled saws and
tubular drills. We see the pictorial arts
as fully developed as for thousands of
years later. But what led up to this is
still being sought. - Trenton On. ~

A rather strange as well as amusing
incident happened on board the schooner
Emma Clara while at SCI last Saturday
on her way up from Rockport. They
were well out at sea where the water was
blue aud clear and the wind very light,
when one of the passengers discovered
large fish which is known in those waters
as a linn, following close behinl the
boat.
Several of the boys were soon leaning
over the stera admirin5 the fish, when
one Of them accidentally dropped his
watch overheard ont Of his oversAirt
pocket. 1t was a large old-fashionel
Swiss silver watch, and when it hit the
water it glanced of sideways and darted
on its voyage to the bottom of the sea,
but the linn saw it, and as he is a fish
that bites at everything that shines, re-
gardless Of flavor or taste, opened his
huge mOuoh and swallowed the watch at
one gup. TIE surprised and chagrinei
young man says that the watch hal lust
been wound up aud was good to tick
away for twenty hours at least. The
fish seemed to enjoy the meal, and fol-
lowe lesurely after tho boat for some
time. - HelaSc2 (Cai.l Times.

A BLOODY REVOLT


In the State of chihuahua, MeI--Garza
Thought to Have Hand in 1t.
Couriers from Ascension, in the State
of Chihuahua, 100 miles south, report
terrible uprising there.
For some time bad feeling has existed
between the members of the Church party
and the support rs OF the Disz Government.
Affairs reached or sis when the election of
the president of the town was held.
Rafael Anchela, who had twice held the
office, was re-ele,teI by few votes. An
chela was distasteiul to the opposition ON
account of his efforts TO inaugurste reform,
and threats were openly made against his
life.
About o'clock in the afternoon mob of
over 100 men suddenly surrounded the city
builAing aud opened tife.
Ancheia anu mis- secretary, Andeevela,
were instantly killed. The mob took posses
81 IN OF the Gown alter hard fight with the
friends OF Ancaela. During the battle three
revolutionists were killed and many on both
siues t.taiiy wounded. France S4n.o, Que Of
the leaders OF The mon, was among the killed.
The impression prevails that this is a move
ment in support OF Gaia. lne strength of
the insurgents Is reported ut 50 armed men.
Troops are iel oried to be hAs,euing to the
point OF outbreaks. In the meanwhile the
town is in possession OF the mob and ,iutWe

1t is notable circumstance that all
the men elected Speaker, from the First
to the Filty-frst Congress, were born in
one or another of only thirteen States;
and further, that on the soil of only
seven States outside of the South has
future presiding officer of the more nu-
merous branch of the National legisla-
ture been born. These statements are
rather startling at first glance, but are
strictly accurate. The seven States re-
ferred to are Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey,
Ohio and Maine. The native Penusyl-
vauians who won this honor were F.A.
Muhlenberg, whose gavel dropped for
the first time March 4, 1889, John W.
Davis, James 6. Blaine, Michael C. Kerr
and SamuelJ. Randall; Connecticut gave
birth to Jonathan Trumbull, Theodore
SedgwicS, Galusha A. Grow; New Jer-
sey to Jonathan Dayton and William
Pennington; New York to John W. Tay-
lor and Schuyler Colfax; Massachusetts,
boasts Joseph W. Varnum, Robert C.
Winthrop and Nathaniel P. Banks, while
Ohio is entitled to J. Warren Keifer,
and Maine to T. Bracket Reed.
Occasionally native of one State
would be citizen of another when elect.
ed Speaker, but this has been very rare.
The only instance besides Clay and Polk
were the cases of Sedgwick, who early
moved to Massachusetts from Connecti-
cut; John w. Davis, Pennsylvania,
who went to Congress from Indiana;
Galusha A. Grow, who left Connecticut
in favor of Pennsylvania; Schuyler Col
fax, by birth New Yorker, but owing
his Congressional scat to Indianians, Mr..
Blaine and Mr.. Kerr,
1t is fact remarkable for its unique
ness that the six Southern States of Vir-
GINA, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia,
North Carolina and South Carolina should
have given birth to the fourteen Speak
ers credited to the South, while not one
of the sister Southern States of Arkan.
sas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Flo
rida, Maryland or West Virginia has
produced a man destined TO this high
station. Aud equally strange has it been
that the two States of Virginia aui
Kentucky were the places of nativity of
one fourth of the men who have been the
presiding officers of the popular branch
of Congress since 1883.

And thus they parted.

s'May beg you especially not to go
for this sail to, day, Miss Fletcher" said
Hardwicke few days later.
There had been sail on the lake pro-
posed. The first suggestion had come
from Sutterel. He now glared fiercely
at Hardwicke. Sorrel threw up her lit
tie hand.
II don't see why you should make any
such request, Mr.. Hardwicke," she said
''For the best of reasons. he answered
placidly. 81 believe still wind will
blow up within two honrs and the waters
of this lake are VIGOROUSLY dangerous in
sudden squalls. One must he able to
sail boat as to the manor born, and
even then
Sorrel had walked on as if unheeding,
her head still in the air. Miss Ker,
though she had grown trifc pale,
made motion to follow.
''Perhaps you are wrong about the
wind, Mr.. Hardwicke," she said, her
tones having regainei, spite of the de-
clared enmity, an acid urbanity
ut seems very still now"
II certainly think Mr.. Hardwick is
wrong put in Suffered, with a smile of
the finest irony.
"We shall see, . remarked Hardwicke.
"Are you going with usl' queried
sorrel, stopping short.
"Yes. You have no objection ?"
II thought you might be afraid, said
the young lady, putting aside all her lit
tie poses of inspired femininity, and
speaking like the school girl which she,
in reality, had only recently ceased to
be. And she smiled much as Suffered
had done. But Hardwicke did not APP
pear to see the smile. 1t was assuredly,
as Mss Ker had remarked, very still
now. And Suffered, looking woman
ishly handsome in semi-nautical attire,
did not know how to sail boat for all
moderate purposes. Miss Ker quoted
poetry now and then, and glanced at
him for sympathy. Sorrel, her hands in
her lap, the soft rings of her wayward
hair cIisping under the brim of her little
sailor straw, gazed out at the mountain
shores and avoided looking at Hard
wicke. Hardwicke, smoking by the
ladies permission, looked at the horizon
now aud then.
At the end of an hour be made a re-
mark in an undertone to Suffered.
Sutterell glanced up aud shrugged his
shoulders. Hardwicke seemed to insist,
aud Miss Ker, giancing out from under
her paraso', became attentive.
A moment later new expression
swept Susterell's face His well cut but
weak mouth drew itself together. He
made rapid motion. A sail swept
about.
"Look to what you are doing MANI
cried Hardwicke.
The gale struck them at the same mo-
meat. The water, blue before, now
purple and green, was churnel into
choppy waves. The sunlight had been
blottei out of the sky.
Miss Ker gave low cry and clutched
the side of the boat. The parasol had
been hurled from her hand.
"Hold fast, Sorrel, and don't fear!"
shouted HardwIcke.
And then the two men, hauling in
sail worked Tor their lives.

"Was it not odd7" confded Sorrel to
Hardwicke that evening. 81 thought
she would take it so differently"
"Oh, the old lady knows what she is
about, said Hardwicke, carelessly.
One week before they were to be
married-they had both been home
several months-Sorrel came down to
meet Hardwicke with flushed face
"Mss Ker is to be married, too. Here
is her letter. She says she has taken the
step because she has found a man who
can help her in her vocation and is
capable of appreeiattng It's sacredness.

When daylight's grayest cleaning
Gins through the blin1s to peep,

At eve when Pm returning
Prom labors Of the day,
Their FORCES yet are burdin-,
And still their hammers play:
And oft the smiths are singing,
To that measured !, merry ringing,
Ching caing, ching c ing,

Often with Rhythmic bending
OF bodies to and fro
They toll in couples, sending
The sparks out, blow on blow;
One hammer always swinging
The while the others ringing,
CHING ching, ching ching,

A VISIT to HALEY this week was
not fruitful of interesting informa-
ton. The backwardness Of the
season has had its effect there as
we'll as here, and but a limited
amount of business is being done,
but all are hopeful, or seem to be,
of the future. There is, however,
more appearance of life there than
here, owing to the fact that it is the
county seat and people are obliged
to visit the place on county bust
ness. A greater population, too,
tends to enlarge the volume of bust
ness transacted; but it is not prob
able that the proportion of business
to population is greater there than
here. Like all other points on
Wood River, it has suffered and
still suffers injury from the demon
citation of silver, that can only be
healed by the restoration of that
metal to its righttul place as money.
This done and prosperity would be
as general throughout this section
of country as adversely and depres-
sion are now.

A PETITION was being circulated

A PETITION was being circulated
in the Ceur d'Alene country last
week asking Congress to take the
tariff off lead. and we understand
received over four thousand sigma
lures. About the same time an OPP
posing petition was asking almost
in vain for signatures here. It
prayed Congress to retain the tariff
on lead. This petition had received
nineteen signatures when we saw it
last; but unfortunately for its cir
culators at least one of those sig
natures was that of man who had
not been in town tor month and
whose name was therefore signed by
some one else, and without author
ity. The fact is that miners as q
rule are reading men, and under
stand that tax on lead ores is not
paid by foreign lead miners, but by
miners of dry ores here at home,
who must have lead to smelt their
dry ores. And to the credit of the
miners it must be said that as a
class they are too generous-minded
to seek to enrich themselves by
placing selfish tax on their neigh
bors. That is left for copper cent
dealers in the East to do.

THE Ketchum Dramatic Club re-
peated "Down the Black Canyon"
last Thursday afternoon, when the
performers each and all acquitted
themselves in a very creditable
manner, some of them giving evil
dence of the possession of histrion-
ic talent that with a little expert
ence would command an audience
eny place. And the scenes and in
cidents being a part of the history
of frontier life and experience are
interesting in this locality, most of
our people being familiar with many
similar happenings in real life. Ac-
cordingly more than one hearty
round of applause attested the null
titude's appreciation as the play
proceeded. The music was excel
lent, too, and we believe all were
entertained and felt that they "got
their moneys worth" The club
having been specially invited to do
so, gave an entertainment at Belle

A Silver Club was organized here
last night with 1O3 members. "A
constitution was adopted, which
pledges every member to vote for
no candidate for any Office who will
not pledge himself to use all his
influence in the interest of the free
coinage of silver. The toughest old
Democrat and the most radical Re-
publicans in the camp agreed to lay
aside all their differences and preju-
dices and work together as one man
until this paramount question is
settled; to drop all partisan poll
tics until the great wrong perpetra-
ted by Congress nineteen years ago
has been righted and silver restored
to the standing as money which it
had held for thousand years. This
club will unite with the club at Sill

clubs established at every precinct
in the country. Owyhee county
will go free coinage ticket straight.
