been engaged by the Woman Com
missioners of the worlds Fair to run
the first train over the grounds OF

Chicago about "a week before the OPP

during the first trip of the engine
will wear the costume of a Spanish
girl of the fourteenth century. In
reply to a proposition made to Miss
Hewitt to become a member of the
Brotherhood of locomotive Engin-

that while she could not find it in
her heart to become a brother tC

Notes by the Way.

Edward Eggleston has said, GA

how careful an ambitious man should
be in his selection. But the turn of

will put all calculations to naught.
A reflection Your face in a
looking glass; but is it a wise, good
or happy one?
10 be weak, is surely better than
to be wicked, yet we would almost
all prefer to be thought the latter.

but the weak are the butt of all
mankind, even though they are no
stronger themselves.

The Last Boom"


Adapted To the tune of TIA ra-ra, &c.l
just about three years ago
| bought a lot and bought it low:
The man that sold it told me so,
And he's the one that ought TO know.
Fifteen hundred was the price,
He didn't have to ask me twice:
| paid it half in one big slice
And felt as rich as Calvin Brice.
Ta-ra-ra, &c.
And for the rest | gave my note,
And as my name l gladly wrote
| had no thought--no more'n a goat
How big the load I'd have to toat.
Now I'm wotking like a slave,
Trying hard enough to save
To pay the blasted note l gave,
Before | lay lie IN my grave.
Ta-ra-ra, &c.
The lots so steep 'twont hold a fence,
The ton upon it are immense,
The bushes grow so tall and dense,
1t wouldn't bring me fifty cents.
And o l sit in silent gloom
Thinking of my awful doom;
| want to lie down in my tomb
Before we have another BOOM.

Defying the Law.

The death of Mr.. Pyne, the MEM
Der of parliament who has often been
referred to as barricading himself
against the police in his Irish home,
serves to recall the story OF the
watch which he left with a fellow
member to be forwarded to his wife.
On the dial was roughly engraved
the words, PAY no rent This was
one of Mr.. Pyne's original devices
akin to his famous exploit in his cas-
tie. Whenever in troublesome times
any of his poor neighbors came to
him for advice as to what they
should do in the face of a demand
for rent, Pyne would shake his head.
II cannot give you advice on this
subject" he said, because MI. Bal
four says it is illegal, but I'll tell you
what I'll do, l will show you what
time of day it u.s." and holding out
his watch the inquiring tenant read
upon it the admonitory legend. Lon

IT Is possibly doubtful if the COM
mittee calling the last citizens meet
ing knew what it wanted. The HER
AID was told by a duo of its mem
beers to advertise the meeting to be
held in Mix's hall. The aforesaid
committee then issued circulars call
ing the same to be held in Crawford's
hall. The major part of our citizens
wer consequently at a loss to know
where to 90 on the appointed night
but the individual members of the
committee were heard to condemn
the people for showing so slight in
terest in so vital a matter. We hav,
reserved no space for the citizen wh'
at the same time cursed the commit
tee at a double-header gait.

EXCELLED.
A Tar Heel Distances the Grand
Prevaricator in Artistic
Romance.

The following is IA special from
Coon Hollow, n. G.; tothe New York
World:
"The people of this vicinity are
greatly exercised over the disappea-
rance of Henry Simpson colored, his
wife and two sons, who resided ear
the edge of Bullfrog pond, four or
five miles from Coon Hollow.
"Unusually cold weather has pre-
vailed in eastern North Carolina the
last month. Bullfrog Pond, which
is fed by subterranean springs,
cover an area of only an acre and
has hever been known to be frozen
owe until this winter.
"a week ago, while the surface of
every lake and stream for miles
around was concealed to IA depth OF
twelve or fifteen inches, the waters
of Bullfrog Pond were absolutely
free from ice. During the afternoon
of that day the largest flock of wild
geese eve seen IN this portion of the
state came from the north and
alighted in the pond.
"By some freak of nature, on thai
night, for the first time in its history
Bullfrog Pond vas frozen over, ane
the next morning the whole flock o
geese were, to all appearances, help
less prisoners, bound n to anothe:
by an u~nyielding cake of ice severa
inches in thickness.
"When Henry Simpson discovered
this state of affairs he rushed anon!
the geese, followed by his wife ant
two sons, and began, as they sup
posed, the work of determination.
'But the negroes had made IA woe
full mistake. An old gray-heade
gander, the patriarch of the hocl
gave a loud squak, which was imme
diatciy answered by his lieutenant
from every quarter of the pon'
. simultaneously more than tire
thousand wings began to flap. |
I an instant the geese arose above II
tree tops, carrying with them a sol
I cake of ice and the Simpson famil,,
G "From that hour to this not II
slightest ,idings have been receive
from the unfortunate negroes, an
their fate will doubtless ever rema
a mystery"

The Gait Mine.

One day in the summer of 81,
j. l.. Neihart was sauntering along
on the hill side above the Queen and
scrutinizing the face of terra firma,
when he suddenly ran upon some
fine looking float. In a few hours
he had traced it's course and discov-
cred a lead, but night settled heavily
down upon the virgin landscape and
the prospector sought his cabin to
wait till another day. On the follow
ing morning what is now the Gait
was located. 1t has since been the
topic of much discussion in mining
circles. At various times it has been
worked by different companies and
ore from it has been shipped to east
ern smelters when the bull-team
was the leading mode of conveyance
for hundreds of miles.
1t is now under the superintend-
ence of Jonathan McAssey, and a
'sure-thing' course has been pursued
ever since his management began.
A tunnel several hundred feet in
length had already been driven on
the lead by a previous manager. AT
a point where the ore body was wide
and promising he constructed an up
rise to the surface. Then a winZe
was sunk at the same point to ii depth
of 70 feet and a drift pushed on the
lead to IA distance of 70 feet. This
work has been described in a former
issue of the HERALD.
A stope has been opened above the
main tunnel 40 feet and the width of
the ore remains the same throughout,
almost uniformly seven feet. 1t is a
double vein of high-grade silver ore.
the two almost equal parts being sep,
arated by aporphyritic septum about
ten inches in width, leaving an ore
body, after deducting for the 'horse,

$50 feet from the entrance to the
tunnel a station has been cut, nicely

O THE N
The Mine.

The Broadwater when developed
will make one of the largest and
richest mines in Neihart. Before
the present work was begun this
mine had already rich showings in
sight to justify a large and wealthy
company taking hold and working
the property.
The Broadwater would not have
lain idle so long as it has, had it not
been that the ownership of the diff
erent claims vas SO interviewer and
clouded by disagreement and other
obstacles that caused it to remain so
for many years. This property has
always been claimed to be a poor
mans mine, hat is to say, a poor
man could take hold and make a
large and rich paying mine of it
without the assistance of capital.
The showing of ore before the
present company took hold was very
lattering. The Bell shaft which is
down 12o feet shows up a body of very
rich ore and with the St Julien tun-
mel, which they are now working, has
an ore body exposed for 300 feet.
The present company commenced
work where this ore-body pinched
out in the St. Julien tunnel, with the
the purpose in view of drifting un-
der the Bell shaft and it was not
many feet they had gone before a
large body of ore was opened up.
They continued in ore for a distance
of fifty feet when the men working
in the face of the tunnel discovered
that the ore suddenly disappeared
and a break in the vein occurred,
losing one of the walls. Thomas
Starbird. the foreman, at once de-
tected that they had encountered a
pOrphyry dyke, and wishing to get
through it as soon as possible, put
more men to work and every week
made on an average of 35 feet
through this formation. Singularly
they had one wall to follow and in
some places both the walls.
This continued for $50 feet wher
on Thursday, March 8, they had
passed through this rock and a small
streak of ore was discovered on the
hanging wall. Just here Mr.. Star
bird directed the men to make ;
cross-cut to the left where the ore
was discovered and in doing Sc
opened up a body of ore over sly
. feet wide. Soon both walls of thu
. vein were discovered but found t.
be six feet to one side of where they
e had been working through the dyke
! The ore was struck sooner than ex
pected. On the Bell ground a bod,
of ore in the same lead on whicI
e they are working a be traced t
the distance of 400 feet. The re
cent strike was made 200 feet befor
coming to the above ore-body and
" the same, will make it 800 feet Ions
This is no doubt a bonanza an
inside of six weeks we expect to Sc
the present company working tn
mine for all it is worth and employ
ing about fifty men.

ELECTION APPROACHES.

1t is with ~praiseworthy interest
that our villagers look forward to e.
lection time; for the political spirit
properly educated and controlled is
the bulwark of our liberty and the
defense of IL free institutions; and
furthermore, to IL u city affairs
for the next year will be no kids job
as some might suppose. The affairs
of the city are now in a sorry condi-
ton. The finances are low and the
states Legislature (said to consist, in
the main, of right royal hoodlums and
lord high haydiggers) has failed to
pass the bill by which towns, of
equal size and %pretentions with IL
own, can bond themselves to meet
certain current and necessary ex-
pense. These and other causes abso-
lutely require that only the levelest-
headed may be entrusted with the
direction of the city's business dur
ing the ensuing year.
1t is not a time to return evil for
evil nor to retaliate for past wrongs,
MOI yet to monkey with trivialities.
But it is a time most mete for the
careful and well-thinking citizen Of a
proud and enterprising town to get
heads together, and choose a ticket
of their strongest men to guide the
body polite through the coming fs.
cal year.
In this choice a due regard SHOULD
be paid to all factions, either real OIL
supposed, and every endeavor Sc
forth, without personal malice, to Sc
lect a ticket that will subserve thu
towns best interests, pacify all Elm
bitterments, and result in Il campaign
of peace and goodwill. If we woul'
be wise we would profit by the past
In this all will acknowledge that n
good is to result from a bitter an
slanderous local campaign, but tina
after such an one is ended, the out
side world imagines us "A lot of pet
larceny sons of guns, and thinks tn
life of a stranger would be endane
cred in our midst. Let peace pre-
vail in our councils.
