The Penn's Grove record., 1896-10-02

Young men Of America, you cannot
afford to live on the past achievements
of your fathers, and fOrefsthers, and
inherited political prejudices. There
are political and social problems to be
met to-day and in the future. The
money question is one of them and no
question more vital to your prosperity
and happiness has come before this
country since the Revolutionary war,
which was caused more by the money
question than by the tea tax. Be hon.
est in the pursuit of truth, but beware
of the gilded money serpent who is en-
ticing to destroy. If you will come to
the RECORD Office we will loan or tell
whore to get literature that will give
truth and light TO guide your actions.
The Penn's Grove record., 1896-10-02

Let nc Jour pass on, Americans awake;
You see your land under a whitening blast.
Awake! to hear the sentries' rings
To arms! they come, the money kings!
Awake! awake! and show your bravery,
Or you and children will die in slavery.
No more let signs and hunger stand,
And bankruptcy blast our native land.
Cheer up my noble band!
yote-till the last money foe expires!
Vote--for your affairs and your fires!
Vote-for the green graves of your sires!
yote-for forty-fve free silver stars!
God and your native land!

MAKING GOLD MINES PAY.
Millions Sometimes Must BE Invested to
Realize Any Success.

AeSohHO my cuScesss
There are no hard and fast rules in
regard to making mine from the time
it passes into the prospector's hands
until it becomes a dividend-payer.
Many mines are such, as the owners say,
from the grass roots" and turn out
large quantities of ore from the begin
ming.
j. B. Haggin, the millionaire mine
owner, took $3,000,00O from the Custer
mine in Lemhi county, Idaho, before it
became necessary to use candle. This
mine was known as the Mineral Noun
tain. a man came along one day, and
after looking at it remarked: "Why, the
hanging wall is gone" This was true;
nature had assisted the miner ia this
case; the mountain side had been
eroded, leaving the mineral standing
there. Mr.. Haggin also spent about
100000 in developing the Anaconda
mine before it was on paying basis.
Mines have been discovered contain
ing fabulous wealth, although pros
pector would starve to death in trying
to work them. This was true in re-
gard to the Homestake mine in the
Black hills. The prospector who made
the discovery could do nothing with it,
and it passed into the hands of Senator
Hearst and other California capitalists.
They concluded that unless it was
worked on large scale it could not be
made profitable. An s0-stamp mill was
ordered and shipped in from Cheyenne
at cost of $135,O00 as an experiment
The mine has paid in dividends 1900
a month for II years.
1t requires large amount of money,
usually, to put mine on a dividend
paying basis and as rule this the pros
pector cannot do, although prospectors
have made fortunes with their proper
ties.-Spokane Spokesman.

Greek Coins.

1t is little surprising that the Athen-
ian coins are less beautiful than some
others. They always preserved an af-
fectation of archaism. The Attic
drachmas bore the head of Atheue, and
on the reverse an owl, often standing
on a Tyre, the whole in a myrtle wreathe.
Plutarch, in his "Lysander," tells an
amusing tale of how Olympus had been
sent to Sparta with a great sum OF
money as a bride, and how he ripped
the bottoms of the sacks and stole large
sums, sewing up the sacks again, not
knowing that there was a writing in
each sack saying how much coin it
held. On coming to Sparta, he hid his
plumber under the tiles of his house,
showing the Ephors the unbroken
seals on the mouths of the sacks. When
the Ephors opened these they were in
great perpleNity. But Ghppus servant
betrayed him, saying that "under the
tiles roasted the owls" The consterna-
ton was great. Glippus fed, and the
stern Spartans declared shat for the
future they would use iron coinage,
made red hot and quenched in vinegar
to make it hard and unpliable. In the
laws of Scion, 600 b. c., the punishment
of death is recorded against forging the
coinage.-Good Words.

A SONG OF LABOR.

The daylight fades, the shadows fall,
The hour to quit our toll has come,
The welcome whistle tells us all
TITS time to start for home.
Hang up the tools upon the wall,
Come forth from shop and factory gloom.
Oh, joyful is the workman's call
To take the train for home.
To take the train for home, my boys,
To take the train for home,
Oh, best of all the toiler's joys,
To take the train for home.
Oh, long the hours to bend the back
And ply the tools with sinewy grip;
Oh, lone the hours when toilers lack
The touch and cLeer of comradeship.
Oh, weary many toiler's task,
In solitary place of gloom,
But now he sheds tolls grimy mask
And takes the train for home.
Roll down the sleeves and don the coat
The happy hour has come,
The best of all the workers joys,
To take the train for home
And while from crowded street he flies
The evening breezes seem to bless,
And nature spreads her sunset skies
To cheer and heal his WEAKNESS;
And as he nears his cottage door,
With cries of joy his children come;
His foot is on his cottage floor
Oh, blessed train for home.
Roll down the sleeves and don the coat,
The happy hour has come,
The best of all the workers joys,
To take the train for home
And all the weary days repaid,
When seated round the cheerful board
Wherein the frugal meal is laid,
With many a fond and loving word
And CHEEKY stories of the day
The good wife and the children come.
And hearts are true and glad and gay
Within the workman's home
Roll down the sleeves and don the coat,
The happy hour has come,
The best of all the workers joys,
To take the train for home

The CatahOula Mound Dwellers.

Prof. Beyli's exploration of the Cata-
houla mounds, conducted under the
auspices of Tulane university and the
Louisiana Historical society, has been
so eminently successful that the work
is to be continued. His excavations
were confined to four mounds recently
discovered on Lake Larto, but his ex-
cursions into the neighboring swamps
disclosed the fact that they were full
of similar mounds, most of them larger,
the town of Troy being built on score
of them. The excavations prove that
the mound builders were a peaceful
fisher-folk, enjoying considerable civ
ilization but having very few weapons,
and these evidently brought from dis
lance, who sought refuge in the Louisi-
ana swamps from the more waIlile
tribes around them, and built the
mounds as a protection from the over
flow of the Mississippi. Enough was Sc
cured in the way of skeletons, pottery
some of it pictured-household uten-
sis, etc, to well stock a museum, and
Tulane is so well satisfied that it will
try some of the larger mounds, in the
hope of finding whence the Catahoula
mound dwellers came, and what was
their previous history.-Harper' Week

Formation of the Acorn.

The male flowers of the oak are gath
cred in distant clusters round long,
swaying stalk; they approach much
nearer to the conventional idea of
flower individually. Instead of being
a mere aggregation of anthers or pollen
cells on simple scales, those of the oak
are possessed of distinct starlike, hairy
calyces, each marked off into six or
seven lobes, and containing ten slender
stamens, with two-celled anthers. Then
the female flowers, which are usually
two or three, near each other, but
not connected, consist each of an ovary.
with three short-curved styles, and in
vested by calyx that adheres closely
to it and becomes the hnsk and shell of
the acorn. The whole, except the
styles, is held in a cup formed of many
small overlapping scales, which after
ward lose their individuality and shrink
into mere roughness on the outside of
the cup that holds the acorn. For only
one of the six ovules contained in the
ovary develops into an acorn (seed or
corn of the &C, or oak. )-Science.

the intention to apply for legislation to
change the whole status Of the city court
according to the plans, an account or
which was given in yesterdays Morning
News
The first of these IS a bill for the re-
peal Of the act passed by the last Iegls-
lature fixing the time of electing the sher-
if and clerk of the city court, and termi-
mating the terms of those then in office,
besides increasing the terms to four years.
This is the bill under which the terms of
office of Messrs W. F. Blols and w. p.
Bailey were terminated some weeks before
their terms of office expired
Following this is a notice Of an intention
to apply for the passage Of an act to pre-
scribe the manner of electlng the clerk
and sheriff of the city court, to terminate
the terms OF those now in office, to pre-
scribe the terms of those to be elected
under this act to fix the date at which
such terms shall begin, and to provide
for the filling of vacancies.
The third notice is of a bill to amend
the law relating to the city court so that
hereafter the entire expenses of the court
shall be borne by the county, the idea
