RIPPLE OF APPLAUSE.
A handsome silk banner, bearing the
inscription, THE Young Mems Democratic
Cfub." flanked on either side by the Ameri-
can. flag, was raised to the flies by a couple
of the stage hands. This caused a sligh,
ripple Of applause to disturb the equaDimity
Of the empty chairs and the shiyering re-

starting out to hunt for the precious
ores, yet the richest finds are often made
by the rankest tenderfoot. 1t is we'll
illustrated in recent rich find near Salt
Lake City. Willard Weihe, violin
soloist in the Tabernacle, was walking
in City Greek canyon, on the outskirts
OF the city, when he kicked aside some
rock that struck him as being unusual
in appearance. Out of pure curiosity
he carried piece of the rock back to
town and had it assayed. 1t showed
$500 in gold and $40 in silver to the ton
Weihe was so much surprised he almost
tainted. Then when he recovered he
hurried back to where he found the rock,
without mentioning the matter to any
one, and staked out large number OF
claims for himself and friends. Now
considerable camp has sprung up, and
the workings bear out the promise in
Weihe's chances strike.

THERE is considerable excitement at
Butte, Mon, over the discovery that
work has been begun on an oft proposed
and largely opposed project for driving
mining tunnels in all directions under
the city in order to take out the rich
copper and silver ores known to exist
there. 1t is said that the richest copper
and silver ores in the Rocky mountain
country lie under the city. The princi-
pal vein discovered known as the Smoke
house lode, runs under the heart of the
city from southeast 10 northwest, and
over it are the city hall: the county
cour thouse, big hotel and several OF
the largest office buildings in the city
The purchasers of surveyed land in Butte
have no title to the mineral underneath,
the surface title only extending to a
depth of 80 feet. When the vein under
the city was first discovered, wealthy
mining man OF Butte located almost the
whole city as mining claims and fought
his case in the courts to a succe ssful
conclusion. Now he has formed a com
pany, and already a shaft is being sunk
near the heart Of the city, from which
tunnels will be driven in every direction
Residents of Butte are greatly concerned
about the probable effect of the mining
operations on the big buildings situated
over the proposed workings. The ore
body is said to he large and richer than
that OF the famous Anaconda mines.

PETER OLSEN is serving an indefinite
and unofficial term in the Oakland, (Cal.)
county jail from choice. His choice was
between being in Jail and being at al
legged liberty within reach of his wife.
Olsen recently served term in jail for
assaulting his wife. He is young, and
his wife is somewhat mature, Their mar
ried life has been tumultuCus, and they
have often been in the courts. His short
experience in jail was so sweet that a
few days after he was liberated he came
back and pleaded with the jailer to take
him in and keep him there, where his
wife could not get at him. Olsen had
proved a handy man about the Jail, be-
ing a good cook, and the jailer offered
him an asylum. Olsen breathed deep
sigh of relief when the iron door was
shut between him and his wife, and at
last accounts he was still safe.

The famous Fort Brooke reservation
case has been settled at last. S. Y.
Finley, of Gainesville, the attorney of
julius Caesar, the heir OF Andrews Still
ing and Frank Jones, has just received
intelligence from Washington that he
has won the case in the late argument
before the Secretary of the Interior upon
appeal. This ends the litigation in the
land department and patents will now
be issued. The Florida Central and
Peninsular Railroad Company were
denied their claim for right OF way
over the lands.

in question is the property of the heirs
of the late Rev. DR.. Gurley, who was
President Lincoln's pastor and for years
presided over what is known in Wash

A MACHINE for catching flies off the
backs of cattle, and so affording the ami
mails relief and comfort, has been in
vented by a farmer in Madison county,
KY. The fycatcher is kind of covered
pen or passageway. through which the
animal must walk to secure relief. A
few feet from the entrance there is a
cupola, or dome, in the roof of the pas
sageway, made of glass and arranged
as fytrav. Beyond this the passage
is darkness. The animal walks through
the machine, and Just as it passes under
the dome and enters the darkened part a
set of brushes sweeps eff the flies, which
naturally rise into the lighted dome, and
the steer passes out at the other side
free of flies. The flies are retained in the
dome trap. The inventor has expert
mented with bis machine and finds that
the animals soon learn the value OF the
machine and know enough to walk
through it when the flies begin to bite.
The device has been patented.

Thousands Welded at Once.

The largest and most remarkable
wedding since the world began took
place at Susa, says the Chicago Chron-
lcle. When the great Alexander
had conquered Persia, wishing to
unite victors and vanquished by the
strongest possible ties, he decreed a
wedding festival. Alexander himself
was to marry Statira, the daughter Of
'nq1ius 100 of his chief officers werA
to be nnited e ladies from the noblest
Persian and Medean f9p2ilies' and
10000 Of his Greek soldiers we're 70
marry 10000 Asiatic women-2O, ,2o2
people married at once. 1t is difficult
to see how they managed to get up
feast for so many but they did, and for
vast multitude Of guests besides.
They had the most splendid arrange
ments
On plain near the city a vast pa
vilion was erected on pillars sixty feet
high. 1t was hung and spread with
the richest tissues, while the gold and
precious stones which ornamented it
would have made your eyes blink.
Tables were spread outside for the
multitude, a separate seat was assigned
each pair and all were arranged in
semi-circles on either hand Of the royal
throne. Each bridegroom had received
a golden vessel for his libation, and
when the last Of these had been an
nounced by trumpets to the multitude
without, the brides entered the ban
quet hall and took their places. Of
course, it must not be supposed that
each bridegroom stood up separately
and vowed, with this ring | now thee
wed, and 80 On. No, the ceremony
was very simple. The king gave his
hand to Statira and kissed her as his
wife and the other bridegrOoms fol-
lowed his example

Memoirs Of Uncle Rufus Hatch are

old man who was noted for the vigor

gard for all those things that are

the Detroit Free Press. One day II

the old man had gwen forty thousand
dollars to a church, and the name Of

him upon seeing the error Of his way
was legion.
He was chafed, and he grunted and
pulled while saying very worldly
things under bis Dreath. nhen ne

ingenious Inventions.


4 eontrivance has Just been patent
ed which enables a person in one
apartment TO see everything that goes
on in some other room. This knOwl-
edge is gained without any one else
finding it out.
This strange device consists of a
peculiar arrangement Of tubes and adj
Unstable mirrors, and the result Of
their use is astonishing, The closest
watch can be kept upon a prisoner
without his having any idea Of the
truth. A merchant in his private Of
fee can secretly and thoroughly post
himself regarding the actions Of his
employees when they do not think he
can see them at all In fact, the things
this invention will reveal are without
limit. 1t is scientific application OF
the traditional all-seeing eye.
Another invention Of very similar
character enables a person on the out
side of a building to see everything
going on in a given room Of the house.
This device consists mainly Of tubes
and would be of great value to bank
directors, who could see Just what the
cashier or any of the clerks We're doing
at any hour of the day without having
them dream that they were being
watched. Thus any dishonesty on the
part of employee could be detected be-
fore he had a chance to get away with
the funds. This contrivance can also
be arranged to go through the floor so
that a person on one story can see dis
tinctly what is going on below stairs.
Some other inventor who thinks II
desirable to know what is going on
around him has patented cane and
telescope combined When used as a
walking stick it looks like any other
but if the possessor wants to see some
thing at "a distance he detaches the
handle and, 10 he has a telescope
which can be adjusted to any focus he
likes by means of tubes inside the cane
He can also turn it into an opera-glas,
if he goes to the theater Or if he de-
sires to see some pretty girl on the next
block.
Another ingenious person, who i'
evidently fond OF hunting, and has on
occasions lost the rest Of his party, has
patented riding-whip and telescope
combined. This contrivance would be
most useful to sportsmen. 1t would
enable them to see game that was out
Of their range Of vision. 1t would
also make it practically impossible fol
a man to get lost, even if he were IL
totally unfamiliar country.
A very curious idea for a subma'
rine telescope has just been patented
This contrivance is a long tube with a
telescope at one end and reflector at
the other With the aid of this instru'
ment wrecks that are in deep water
may be examined and so make it pos
sible for divers to find out if there are
any valuables worth going for before
entering the water.

LOSSES AND GAINS.

Though God has veiled His purpose
From our unseeing eyes,
He bids us hope unceasing-
The weakling as the wise.
He makes the glowing future
To blossom from the Now:
or Ills He coineth blessings.
Although we know not how.
And In the fiery furnace
or sorrow and OF loss.
His alchemy divorces
True metal from the dross.
AS who would scan the pleasure,
The verdant vale's delights,
Must first, with steps untiring.
Ascend the noun tain heights.
Mayhap TO struggle onward,
With bruised and bleeding feet,
Ere half the weary journey
Before him be complete.
So rises Man, the pilgrim.
On lessons bought with pain;
And learns there is no losing
without greater gain.

Cancer
OF the Breast.

Mr.. A. H. Crausby, of I5S Kerr ST.,
Memphis, Tenn, says that his wife
paid no attention to small lump which
appeared in her breast, but it soon de-
veloped into cancer of the worst type,
and Notwithstanding the treatment of
the best physicians, it continued to
spread and grow rapidly, eating two
holes in her breast. The doctors

His Speech Restored.

Praise the Lord, halleluiah, ! can
talk -
These were the words Mr.. Jonathan
Bowser, of Vermont street, uttered
Wednesday morning, the first that
has passed from his lips in eight years.
And three years prior to this time he
could only talk in a whisper. In that
long and trying time his tongue has
been useless member from the effects
of malady that has made his case one
of the most remarkable on record.
It is thought that it was on the 29th
of July, eight years ago Wednesday,
that he lost the power of uttennce and
ever since he has been unable to ar
ticulate or even make the slightest
sound. The above occurrence hap
pened while Mr., Bowser was alone.
His daughter, Mrs Frank Rhodes, had
given him his breakfast, and as he lay
in bed the mysterious touch Of Divine
power uuloosed his tongue. He was
thanking his Heavenly Father for the
food for the soul, when he spoke
word aloud
He knocked for his daughter and
when she came to his bedside he ut
tered the words, Praise the Lord,
halleluiah, l can talk. There was
rejoicing in that home and together
all wept for JOY, and with tears
streaming down his face the yenea-
bic man clasped his hands and with
uphfted face prayed in clear and
feryent words to Him who can do all
things.
For fourteen years Mr.. Bowser has
been confined to the house, and for
eleven years he has been belfast.
He was employed on the c. 4 Q.
Canal as boss carpenter, and during
the building of the new lock at this
place he contracted cold which
developed asthmatic trouble. Physl-
clans were called in one after another
and prescribed for him, but all their
skill and medicine had little or no ei-
feet toward curing him The malady
became puzzling and at times he
would be seized with violent spasms
that racked his sturdy frame.
Through these fourteen years the
spasms have continued with strange
regularity until about two weeks ago
when they ceased 1t is believed
that be lost the power of speech from
the effects of the spasms, which made
his adliction double one
After his tongue became helpless he
! learned the deaf and dumb alphabet,
as did his faithful wife and children.
/ Mr.. Bowser's afilciion is known to
every man, woman and child in the
town and in the wonderful restoration
that has come to him is the source of
much qualification to everybody. HIS
home has been besieged with friends
who called to congratulate and mingle
their JOY with his. 4 strange and sad
coincidence of the above is the death
of Mr.. Bowser's wife, which occurred
three mouths ago Wednesday. Her
loss 10 him was manifested by his ex-
treme grief. She had been a faithful
helpmate, and through the long years
of his suffering up until her death
continually ministered to his wants.
Notwithstanding that Mr.. Bowser
is still helpless invalid, his restored
power Of speech has increased his
cheerfulness. He eau talk in his form
er clear and strong tone. All through
his long affliction be has trusted in Dr.
vine Providence and continually
prayed that he might regain his speech
and be restored 10 his former condition
