Eulogistic of Col. Riley.

In the nomination of Col. j. II. RI.
ley, of Marietta, as one of the Repu bli-
can candidates for the State Senate, in
the Ninth Fourteenth district of Ohio.
Virginians will take a special pride
and pleasure. Col. Riley, for fifteen years
has resided in Ohio, but before re-
moving there he served three terms in
the West Virginia House of Delegates
from Jackson county, his old home, and
was also prosecuting attorney OF. that
county. He is an able attorney, with
wide experience, and has had extensive
dealings in real estate and general
business. He is man of high char
acter, great capacity AMI as true as the
needle to the pole. In honoring him
the Republicans of his district have
honored themselves. He will oe elect.
ed and serve with credit. West Vir-
ginians, generally, will take pride and
pleasure in his success. burg

FOUNDER OF TOM ssrons.
Remarkable Career of n ST. Louis Bo,
who nccnme n Miner.


Edward Schefflein. who was found
dead the other day in his miners shack
in Oregon, had an eventful life, says the
st. Louis Republic.
II remember WE'LL" said William IL.
Boothe, an old-time mine promoter, to
u reporter, when he opened up the
Contention mine at Tombstone and gave
the place its queer name. l ought to
remember it, for it was | who grub
staked Shetfiein on that prospecting
tour. He bunkoed me out of all but u
few hundreds.
THE stories that have been told about
Schefflein's daring in penetrating into
the Apache country and particularly
into the Cochise mountains, where he
found the Contention lode, are not much
exaggerated. 1t was a pretty ticklish
thing to do down there. Old Cochise
had been 'pacitied,' it is true, but he
had lively son, Natchez, and valiant
nephew, Geronimo, and they were the
active young leaders of about as 'pizen
set of Indians as ever swung a Win
chester.
so when Ed Scheffiein struck the
Contention lode and called the place
Tombstone we thought it happy play
of Eds mind.
THE Contention proved to be great
mine. 1t was enormously rich in sill
ver. but it was discovered just about the
time every condition arose to put down
the price of that metal. However, it
yielded an amount away into the mil
lions. The Scheffleins sold half of the
mine to Walter Dean. of San Francisco;
Dick Gird, of Los Angeles; F. ~. Tritte,
then governor of the territory, and
others in San Francisco for 100000.
"Of course the Sheffieins lost most of
their fortune. They couldn't help it.
Ed was restless fellow. He wasn't dis
sipated, nor did he gamble or have other
expensive vices, but he was generous
and plunger on his luck. He wouldn't
settle down and do business Oh busi-
ness principles"

AN IMPERIAL AUDIENCE.
Gen. schoneld's Presentation to the
Emperor Napoleon.

We went to the palace little before
nine o'clock, and were vshered into Al
salon set apart for those guests who
were to be presented to their majesties
that is, those who had not before had
that honor. There were about 20 Ameri-
cans, mostly ladies, and about 40 of ali
other nations, the representatives of
the great republic predominating over
those of any other nation. The diplo-
matte corps were assembled in an adj
joining salon, where they were first re-
ceived by the empress. Meanwhile, we
were all arranged round the room in an
irregular Zine of battle" ready to make
our bow upon the approach of the
sovereigns. was placed at the head of
the row of Americans. being preferred
even to the ladies, which does not seem
quite right. After the reception in the
ambassadors salon was finished, each
minister came into our salon and joined
his flock. Presently his majesty APP
peared, and was announced by the grand
chamberlain, who said in loud voice:
The emperor then passed along the
line, and each person was presented in
turn by the ambassador of his or her
country. The empress followed soon
after, was announced in the same way,
and received her admiring guests. As
general rule, they merely bow, and pass
on without making ary remark; and
no one is privileged to say anything un-
less first spoken to by the emperor or
empress. This mode OF reception is,
believe. peculiar to the French court.
and has been recently adopted, pre-
sumo. for the purpose CT saving the an
noyance of having persons who are
presented stopping in front of their
majesties and entering into conversn-
ton. 1t is also much less fatiguing
than to stand in one place while receiv-
ing a large company, as is the custom
of the English and other courts. Their
majesties do not shake hands. which is
a decided improvement over American
custom, and do not formally receive
their guests, except the ambassadors
and those who Lave not before been pre-

THIS DOG is A SNAKE KILLER.
Animal at Railway, n. j., Averages
One Every Day.

Animal at Railway, n. j., Averages
One Every Day.
Railway, n. j., has snake killer by
the name of Topsy, and she neither
wears skirts nor stars for an Uncle
Toms Cabin" combination. She is of
the canine race. a cross between an
Irish bulldog and setter. She is
three years old and belongs to John w.
Brown, OF Leesville avenue.
The south branch of the Railway
river is infested with water pilots,
ranging in length from one to five feet.
They are afraid of man and swim away
at his approach. When cornered they
will fight and bite severely, and they
make a sore and painful wound. Topsy
seems to have had penchant for snakes
since puphood. Before breakfast every
morning she starts out and seldom re-
turns without a snake. She keeps her
master busy disposing of the dead rep
tiles. She usually kills them by catch
ing them by the neck from the rear. AS
a rule she gets them along shore when
they are basiing in the sun, but at
times, when they take to the water, she
jumps in and kills them while swim
ming.
She went home one day last week
with wound in her neck and no snake.
DR.. Seth Lockwood. veterinary sur
geon, dressed the wound, which soon
swelled greatly. A day later she got
satisfaction by bringing in the largest
snake she has ever caught. 1t was fully
five feet long. 1t had an old wound on
its neck and it was surmsed that it was
the same snake that had bitten the dog.
Only once since she has been in the
snake business has Topsy brought the
wrong goods home. 1t was last sum
mer, when she captured a large eel

just without the precincts of the lit

ties so snugly among the rugged hills

IS years past has located a valuable
and prolific lead mine. \ pioneer of
the village in the person of an old lady
l02 years of age recalled, in the pres
ence OF a Cincinnati Enquirer corre-
spondent the other day, that 70 years
ago she, with her parents, often
watched the moving lights of the In.
dians from their cabin door as the red
men moved busily about the brow of
the hill intent upon the acquisition of
some valuable find. She remembers
also that an Indian once talked to her
father and gave him to understand,
though he was not at liberty to di-
vulge the secret, that somewhere on
the side of the mountain was a treas
ure inestimable and wonderful.
just now interest has been revived in
the tradition and the recollections of
the old woman, and a company will
be organized to prospect for the hidden
mine of wealth. The country round,
about is fearfully rugged and precip
itous, thousands of acres being GOV
cred with the primitive forest, where
is yet to be found an occasional wildca
