NO POPULTST
GOVERNOR FOR
MINI Esq IA
The Minneapolis Journal Quotes
Hon. c. A. Pillsbury's Strong
Appeal for the Election of
Governor Clough - Minnesota
Must Be Saved From the Fear
full Blow a POpuliStic Governor
Would Infiict,

Hon. Chariea A. PiIIsbury, of Min
neapolis, interviewed by the Min-
neapoliS Journal, speaks as follows
regarding the importance of elect
ing a republican state ticket:
am particularly anxious for the
success of the republican state
ticket, because ] believe that no
matter how worthy the men may
be who are running on the oppoSi.
ton ticket, if we should elect to
the high offices of this state any
men who are pledged to support
the Chicago platform, it would give
the credit of Minnesota a fearful
blow. Since the state of Kansas
elected populistic governor years
ago, no financial institution i'm any
part of the world, that know of,
has sent new dollar into that
state, and they have collected their
old loans as fast as possible. Near
ly every man of Importance has
gone out of the state, and the po-
puIation of Kansas is actually de-
creaSing, while the other states
around her are increasing rapidly.
We may Iegisiate on the currency
question, but we cannot IegiSlate
on capital. Capital will invest Just
when and where it pIeases; and
no legislation i'm the worId-short Of
absolute confiscation of property
would change this.
Now, if Mime sofa should elect
a popuIistic governor and a state
government composed of men
pledged to that platform, the people
in the east will not argue as to
whether some of the republicans
i'm this state are sore over alleged
personal or political grievances,
but they will put that down q :
being the actual sentiment Of GUY
people on these questions, and the
people who have allowed political
or personal animosity, or race pre-
JUDGES to influence them, will be
very sick when they realize the Of
feet of their action, should it hap
pen that by their votes any portion
of the state ticket were defeated.
] cannot, therefore, too strongly
urge that every man who is antag-
onistic to the Chicago platform,
should this year vote his principles,
and not his personal prejudices;
and I hope to see the republican
state ticket elected by a handsome
majority from Governor Clough
down to the most unimportant
office on the ticket.

A $1,000 Watch.

"While in Geneva some months
ago." said colonel ]. r. Reynolds, II
visited the principal watch works
there and as a matter of curiosity
asked the manager what was the high
est price watch that was made in Cen
eva. He said that the most expensive
watch turned out in Switzerland was
worth $500. This watch had q split
second hand and struck the hours if
needed. It also had in it a tiny musical
box, which played three distinct tunes.
This watch, he said, was the finest
that could be made, but that orna-
ments, diamonds, etc. could be worked
into the cases, which would Il the
price up into as many thousands as
the purchaser desired. He said that
there had been one watch made in his
establishment the cases Of which had
been studded with diamonds and which
had cost SIT, 900, but as far as the
watch itself was concerned it was q
500 watch. "-Washington Star.

The Queens FayOrite Jewel.

OF late years Queen Victoria has
had Indian servants in native dress as
personal attendants; she is also an as
siduous student of Hindustani, being
able to speak and write in that Ian
guage, and her favorite State jewel is
the priceless Koh-i-Noor, about which
tlangs a tale. When it came IN pos
, esslon Of the East India Company, III
it was handed at a Board meet
ing to John Lawrence %(ufterward Lord
Ihwrence), q Viceroy, for s~afe-keep-
tag. The precious diamond was laid
among fol1o of linen in q small box,
and Lord lawrence slipped it.into his
walstcoat pocket and forgot all about
it until some days later it was siTe
cested that he should forward it to
the Queen. One can imagine his con-
sternation when he rushed to his
house to see if it was to be found.
''Haye you seen q small box III one OF
my waistcoat pockets?' he asked
breathlessly OF his servant. "les,
sahib," was the reply. II found it
and put it in one of your boxes.
Bring it here and open it and see
what it contains" said his master.
"There is nothing in it, sahib, but a
bit of glass;" the nan replied in won
dcrment. The "bit of glass was in
due course dispatched to the Queen,
whose crown it was to adorn, but she
has preferred to wear it on occasions
as a magnificent brooch in the centre
of her bodice. The cutting Of the
diamond was personally superintendent
bv the Prince Consort. 1t is always
kept at Windsor, q fac-simile being in

Change Wrought by Modern Chemistry

Modern chemistry has wrought
great changes in agate coloring, as in
other nrts, q secret having been dis
covered by which chalcedonv Of any
single color can be made to assume
any two or more colors, SO that au
onyx Of any shape or variety Of colors
can be made. If a suuken center OF
another color is required it can be
made SO that the figure when cut out
remains in q hollow, forming a cameo
intaglio. In this manner the fine cut
ting of the cameo is protected. A
white figure may be made IN a black
stone. 9 red figure in a brown stone,
or q white II in a red stone. BY this
process the entire stone is first changed
to the color desired for the outer
layer, then o cavity is cut in the top
and a solution put into it, which alters
it to the required color. 1t is this
discovery that has made a formerly
valuable onyx worth now only a nom
inal sum.
Agates are thus made to assume the
onyx character, which is desired by
the lapidary for the production of
canoes and iutaglios in imitation OF
the antique sculptured gems. In
canoes the figures are in relief and of
a different color from the ground. In
taglios are usually all Of n color. In
Persia inscriptions or devices are
written on beads of carnellan and
other forms Of agate with carbonate
Of soda, and other chemicals; they are
then burnt and the inscription ap-
pears white in contrast to the other
color.
The principal supply of agates for
the last hundred years has come from
Brazil, and other South American
countries, where it is mostly found by
Germans who leave Ollenburg for
that purpose, and who persevere until
they find it. Thence it is sent to Ger
many for cutting, chiefly to Obersteln
aud Ilar. Every fortnight from five
to ten tons of the rough material 10
sold in Idar at public auction, usually
in assorted lots Of 100 or 200 pounds.
The industry yields to the district an
annual net profit OF $500, 900; and
good agate workers are among the
best paid laborers i'll Germany, earn

The Account Was Wiped Out

A Mission grocer received a lesson
in keeping accounts, and he is now
ready to admit what he would never
admit before-that bookkeeping is
not merely q waste Of good clean
paper.
The grocer always kept his accounts
| after the fashion of the Chinese vege-
table peddler, who marks it on the
side of the house with a lead pencil,
and rubs it out with his sleeve when it
is paid A short time ago he had oc-
casion to sue one of his customers on
a bill of long standing. The defend
ant demanded a bill OF particulars.
When the case came up in court the
grocer was compelled to admit that he
could not give an itemized account,
though he had the total marked down
on a paper sack.
"Where did you get the total, If you
kept no account ?" asked one Of the
attorneys.
81 kept it on the WALL" replied the
grocer.

the new railroad to show the immense mineral wealth of this country.
 Leaving this almost wondrous mine and the beautiful Cossatot river, we ride through the ever abundant timber to the westward, to what is known as the Ward & Brock prospect. Here a shaft has been sunk to the depth of nine feet and q vein of diff ferent formation from any yet seen is shown. The ore is in great abundance in white quartz and grey quartzite. and is what is known US argentiferous galena. Tests which have been made indicate that it carries from 5U0 to Goo ounces of silver to the ton. This prospect is located only one and one half miles from the railroad, and if it fulfiIls even small part of present promises It will be one of the most valuable in the county.
 It was with regret that we here turned back, leaving unseen many mineral prospects equal to those de- scribed. This regret, however, was tempered by the knowledge that in no case where prospect work has been done in an intelligent manner has mineral failed to be ound. The mln- eral veins of this country, while vary ing in almost every instance in char acter, largely run parallel to each other and as rule can be followed by anyon experienced in local forma- tions for long distances. This has a great tendency to make prospecting far simpler and the results much more certain than where the ore lies in pockets as in many other mining dis tlicts.
 There has never been in the history of Arkansas time when so much at tention has been pald to its minerals as at the present, and one travelling over the mountains and valleys sees frequent proof In the many mining claim location notices which have re- gently been posted.
 Any of our readers desiring to sec specimens of our finds are cordially i invited to call at the STAR office. Most of these were gathered by our own hands from various mines and pros poets visited. Such evidence as we have seen will convince the most skeptical as to the future of mining in Polk county.
