ONE of the amusements of a summer
resort in the mountains of Vermont is
gold mining. A little stream in the
region css-ries down a considerable
amount of gold,- and it is the habit Of
summer visitors to carry shallow pans
to the streams bed, fill them with
earth, and patiently go through the
hand-washing process of old California
days. The gold is found along with
magnetic sand at the bottom of the
pan, and visitors display with pride
perhaps ten cents worth Of gold as the
result of half an hours labor.

FATE OF A BLIND RAT,

How His Companions Cared for Him Till
Caught and Killed.
The manner in which rats steal eggs
has always been regarded as q wonders
full example of animal intelligence. 1t
is we'll known how one rat will hold
the egg firmly between it's four legs,
then turn over upon its back and. re-
naming in this position, allow itself
to be pulled along by other rats until
the nest is reached. Remarkable qs
this may seem, we heard the other day
of a still more astonishing example of
the intelligence Of rat. Patrick IIur.
ley lives in a rural portion of the TWEEN
ty-third ward. Some distance from his
home is a large barn, where, besides
horses and cows, he keeps a number of
chickens About one hundred yards
from the barn brook winds its way
through favine, Naturally the pres
encc of corn and grain about the barn
has drawn many rats. They frequent
ly come ont in the barnyard for food or
to play. Among the rats the Hurleys
had observed one that was rare speci-
men of his tribe It's coats was of pure
white. Strangely, too, the white rat,
whenever it appeared, had Il companion
that was apparently leading it. This
popularity caused the people to watch
the rodents. They discovered that tho
white rat always held straw in it's
mouth by which the other rat led it.
They concluded the rat was blind.
Sometimes, when particularly good
lot Of corn was found, the white rat
would drop the straw and proceed to
satisfy his hunger. But by an impa-
tient movement he was always able to
bring to him one of his kind friends,
who would pick up the straw, give it
to him and lead the unfortunate back
to the nest under the barn. One of the
most remarkable things noted was the
fact that every day the blind rat was
led out by another down to the brook
to get drink. This was not an ocea.
sional, but a regular, performance.
After the blind rat had satisfied it's
thirst the straw would be put into it's
mouth by its companion or attendant
and led carefully back. But one day
some boys who were not acquainted
with the story of the blind rat saw the
two animals coming from the creek and
at once made charge upon them.
The leader of the blind rat endeavored
to hurry up its charge, but was finally
forced to let go OF the straw and
scamper off to save its own life The
white rat, left thus helpless, was
caught ana killed. The family, who
had long watched the daily exhibition
of the other rats tenderness and devo-
ton for their sightless companion,
learned its sad fate with regret Wash

WASPS AS PAPER MAKERS.
The Manufacture Carried on After the
Most Improved Methods.

The Manufacture Carried on After the
Most Improved Methods.
A careful survey of that vacant nest
convinced my wasp at once that it
afforded the exact combination of ad-
vant1ges she was in search of: anc as
soon as she had satisfied herself by
course of watching that the hole was
not now in possession of any stronger
and more aggressive wasp-eating ami.
NAL, she abandoned at once her dig.
ging operations and took up her abode
in the ready-made tavern. There she
set to work at once upon the collection
of material for the first new cells,
which we saw her bringing in from the
decaying place on the gatepost with
commendable activity.
The nest itself our queen constructed
within a vacant hole, building and lin
ing it with peculiar sort of paper OF
which she and her kind have the entire
monopoly. This paper is manufactured
fiber, after the most modern human
fashion-the wood being first reduced
to a complete pulp, and then kneaded
with the jaws to the proper
thickness and consistency. In most
cases the raw material is nib
blcd piecemeal off the bark of
trees; but my wasp fortunately
discovered early in her career weak
spot at the base of the rustic gate in
the garden, and worked this mine with
such skill and industry that before the
end OF the summer she and her de-
scandants had gnawed great hole in
it as big as a teapot. She even en-.
gendered the stability of the structure.
Wasps seem to moisten the pulp as they
knead it with secretion from their
mouths, the analogue, 1 suppose, of
saliva; they use their powerful jaws to
reduce the little balls of torn wood 80
this pulp, and then to spread it into
thin sheets of papery layers.
The cells built of the paper so pre-
pared are hexagonal, like those of the
common hive-hee: and indeed wasps
and bees in spite of ethical divergen-
cies, are descended from a single very
early ancestor, many of whose domestic
tricks and traits both great groups of
social insects retain most faithfully.
But while the bees have learned to
build great many more coils than
they need for the use of their grub,
and to employ the supernumerary ones
as storehouses or jars for preserving
honey, the wasps only make inst as
many cells as they mean to fill with
larva ;, and bring up young grub in
each at least three times over In a
single season. The fact is, the hex
agonal cell was originally intended as
cradle for the larva alone; the bee
hive has diverted it in part from it's
primitive purpose, and has applied it
to new and wholly economical OBJ
ject. Wasps are bees WHICH have never
learnt honey-making. ~ Longman's

New Milking Bucket.

Mr.. F. NJ. Logue, who is we'll known
in connection with practical inventions,
is now engaged in the dairy business
Experience and observation in that
time. have demonstrated to them the
need OF milking bucket. protected by
a hood or cover. so that hairs. dandruff,
dirt or impurities cannot fall into the
bucket during the process OF milking.
Therefore he has devised three kinds
OF buckets to accomplish this desirable
end. The first is bucket with pro-
jerting hood of solid tin. so shaped and
designed that while the milker can
cause all the milk from the cows teats
to flow into the buc&et without losing
drop, the projecting hood will catch
everything in the way of loose hair.
dandruff or impurities which often fall
from the udder, and then they will slip
off to the ground. Another bucket
with stationary and movable handles.
to be covered with Il cloth. operates on
the same principle as the hood bucket.
A third bucket has AN aperture on one
side, through which the milk passes
from the COW. Mr. Logue has tested
the buckets, and finds that they work
most satisfactorily. and that no impuri-
ties can fall into them during the pro-
cess of milking COW. He will apply
for patents on his ideas, and no doubt
the buckets will come into general use
throughout the dairies OF the country.

GOVERNMENT OFFICERS.
Senator George Would Reduce Sala =
riPs 20 Per Cent.
His Resolution Would Save Millions
to the Government.
4 Class Of People That Work Little and
are Highly Paid

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April G.-Sen-
ator George has introduced rcsolu-
tlon in the Senate which has created IL
sensation here and greatly disturbed
government officials and employees. 1t
directs the Judiciary committee. of
which Senator George is member. in
view of the depressed financial condi-
ton of the people. the low prices Of
agricultural and other products. the
Indebtedness of many Of the people and
the increased value Of money, to pre-
pare and report hill reducing by
twenty per cent. all official incomes not
protected from reduction by the con-
slitution OF the United States.
This resolution adopted would save
the government many million dollars
yearly.
Senator George has also been urged
to embody in his resolution another
clause reducing the number OF govern
ment employees. and extending thei,.
hours of labor. which could be done
without the least impairment of the
government service, for it is a notori-
Gus fact that government employees
work less than any class of people, and
taken as a whole, are paid higher
wages.
The government Offices at Washing
ton are thronged with idle loafers,
whose principal business is to kill time
and draw their large salaries; and
what is true here is true elsewhere.
The time has come for a reduction all
along the line, according to the idea of
the National Democratic platform,
which declared for a tariff for revenue
only, limited to the necessities Of the
government. when honestly and eco
nomically administered
Senator George has received many
congratulations since the Introduction
OF his resolution. 1t will have strong
support in the Senate. and is almost
certain to pass that body.

REV. THOS. j, NEWELL.
From New Orleans Christian Advocated

From New Orleans Christian Advocated
The declination OF reelection to the
presidency of Grenada Collegiate In
stitute by the Rev. Thos. j. Newell,
after twelve years OF occupancy, is the
occasion Of real sorrow through this
entire community. Expressions of re-
greet are to be heard on all sides and
from all classes. No man among us is
more widely known, or more generally
beloved or greatly honored.
tlc came to Grenada in 1881 as pastor
Of the Methodist Church, and in Sep
tem4er, 1882 was prevailed upon by the
people here to open school. The in
stitute property was then used as 4 ten
ement, and Il dozen or more families
occupied it. The citizens proposed, in
a large measure, to give him the prop
erty, but he declined it, and by his own
management had it secured to the
Methodist Church. Mr.. Newell soon
by his indomitable energy breathed
life into a dead and buried olpse.
For twelve years he has given it his
undivided attention. As a teacher nc
man has ever succeeded in Grenada SC
we'll as he. In the twelve years not
more than three young ladies have
gone from Grenada to be graduated
elsewhere. His pupils here have tilial
fondness for him, and his patrons an
unquestioning confidence.
Mr.. Newell has always been true tc
the Methodist Church in his attend
ance, his financial support, and express
ed views; yet to-day, and all the while
there are to be found pupils with him
from all the churches in our city, anG
that, too. when we have city graded
school as good, we think, as the State
affords.
AS a preacher, Mr.. Newell is one OF
the few men who has spent twelve scs
sions in the classroom, and has not los'
his power in the pulpit. Our people
rejoice in his preaching the Word az
much as they ever did; and when it is
generally known that he is to preach
there is no lack of congregation. Al
ways clear, instructive, and helpful
and not uufrequently eloquent and in
spsring.
AS a citizen no man has done Gre
NADIA more service than he. His devo
ton to her every interest has made hin
part of her daily life. 1t is not strange
therefore, that our people, without re
spect 10 class or creed, regret to Sc,
him give up an institution of which he
is indeed the founder, and leave ou1
community, of which he is vital part
This community will do what it can t,
have Mr.. Newell reconsider his action

Breckinridge Should Have Kept Quiet

Commenting on an editorial in yes

that the most cunning defense that Col.
