One of the most gigantic mining.
operations ever undertaken is about
to be carried out at Cripple Creek, Col.
A tunnel no fewer than IA miles in
length is to he bored in order that the
minerals may be brought through and
forwarded to the coast. The real adj

able to pass from the mine to the port
over a comparatively level plane Of

96EIHE iggerance of some pa-aple

who sold pies to the soldiers
OF the Army Of the Potomac.
All Of her pies were covered, n
one Of the soldiers asked her how 1t
wa that She could cut into pies with
such accuracy and give them whatever
kind was asked for. She pointed to an
imprint and said: "Yez see that i. NJ
don't yez?"
aThat names IT'S Mincel' " she said
dramatically.
But when one of the boys pointed
out the fact that she had just cut an
apple pie that had "T. NJ" on it, She
said:
s'The i~ggerance Of some pa-aple is APP
palm. That names; ''Tain't Mince.'
Wen, the ignorance Of thousands Of
educated people, on some points, is aP-
palling. a niece Of the writer, a high
school and college graduate, a young
woman of considerable force of char
mcter, who has been reared and excep-
GionalIy well educated here, recently
made the assertion that the national
house of representatives is superior to
the senate because the right to raise
the reyenue. is vested in the house of
representatives by the constitution;
and she informed her veteran uncle
that "as money is the source of power,
and the house raises revenue, it has
greater power than the senate"
But she easily learned in the course
Al. -,pn4o &c q nn-
ordinate body, and, by its power OF
amendment, usually has really more to
do with raising revenue than does the
house, in which the revenue bills origi-
mate.
But one of the most astounding man
i~ifestatiOns of lack of information
aamong people generally believed to be
well educated has been set forth by
the legislature of the grand old state
Of Virginia during the past few weeks.
The memory o fRobert E. Lee, the great
confederate military genius, is dear to
the hearts of all of the survivors Of
his armies; and it is particularly dear
TO the people Of Virginia because he
wa a Virginian. That is all right, and
perfectly natural. Nobody quarrels
with that sentiment; but, on the con
Grary, it is commended, because worthy
of commentator.
The members Of the legislature of
Wirginian, however, ought to be aware
Of the fact that the memory of Robert
Z. Lee is not so affectionately cher
ished by all of the people Of this re-
public. And when they seriously en-
certain the idea Of presenting a statue
Of the confederate leader to be set up
in s~tatuary hall in the great capitol
building, they ought first to ascertain
ST it is at all within the range of posi-,
bilities for them to induce the accept,
ance of such statue, for erection in sucH
q place.
The history of statuary hall ought to
be known to all of the people of Vir,
sginia, and to all of the people of the
republic; but it is not. The great hal
was occupied by the national house o.
Representatives for almost so years
previous to 1864. In that year the new
marble north and south wings of tn,
capitol were completed, and occupied
by the senate and house of representa-
Gives, respectively. The room formerly
occupied by the senate was formally
