AN UNIQUE AMERICAN.

Cassus NJ. Clay who died the same day, and
who born the same year, with Leo Kill, was
unique character He southerner to
many of his characteristics but all around Amer
lean, who in his prime was as strenuous as Roose-
welt and brave Custer His dash as soldier
was only equaled by his cleverness as a diplomat
His patriotism of heroic stamp. He fought
duels, fought slavery and fought Indians with an
earnestness akin to frenzy. AS the Topeka Capital
observes, che fought more duels that Andrew Jack
and fiery and truculenb in opposition to
slavery as Toombs of Georgia the man who
going to read the roll Of his slaves at the foot of
Bunker Hill monument in its defense. He sup
ported Henry Clay for President in 1874, Fremont
in 1856 and Lincoln in 1860, and in 80 resigned
commission as major general in the Union army
to take the post of minister to Russia under the
Lincoln administration"
He carried on, under Secretary Seward, the
gotations which resulted in the acquisition of Alas
ka and in his old age shocked his countrymen by
marrying 15yearold girl. Born and raised in the
south, he stood for northern IDEAS and was the
editor Of anti-slavery paper Horace Greeley
wrote a twovoume history of his life and public
services. He of magnificent presence but
his body covered with scars of wounds received
in duels and battles. He both admired and
hated by the south. The little girl he married in
his senilty the child of his housekeeper who
left his hands by the tragic death of her
mother. Unlike Leo Kill, he did not retain his
mentality to the last For several years and up to
the time of his death, which occurred in an asylum.

so old as be inefficient. The Pttsburg Dispatch,
in commenting on the explanation, says that if the
commissioner were relieved from the compulsory re-
qurements the law relating to the employment Of
old soldiers and the widows of soldiers and were
free to select force OF clerks physically and men
tally capable OF doing the work with ordinary speed
there would be no for complaint upon the
datory motion of the bureau upon pension cases.
While the work of the Office is steadily increasing
the efficiency of the clerical force is decreasing and
the commissioner intends to ask congress for re-
medal legislation. His proposal is to establish a
retired list.
Manifesty the situation If represented, de-
mands action. It's continuance is an injustice to
both the government and those entitled pensions
to whom the shortening span of life makes celebrity
in the consideration of their applications Of vital
Importance.

THE AMERICANS STRENUOUS RUSH.

The life of the average American is keyed up
too high More especially this true of its business
and professional elements 1t is galop from start
to finish -mile-an-hour jolt from the cradle
to the grave. There is no let up Emulation and
competition the whips and spurs of daily ex-
isence The aesthetic side of life the chances for
contentment are all lost sight of. AS the Rev.
Thomas B. Gregory writes in the American "we are
in too great hurry. The sedate old genius with
whom is to be found the inspiration of all sound
cess and true greatness has not the opportunity
TO instruct us-we rush by her at such a killing
pace Before she has fairly opened her mouth to
speak to US We are gone-chasing some scheme by
which hope to get rich quick suddenly by
some sort of hothouse process, to become wise
and good and great
"The old genius speak Of inspired the great
philosophers and moralsts who have made us what
We are; and she able to do that only because
they waited for her. stood lovingly patiently 0y,
listening for the instruction which was in due time
to bring them the golden fruit success"

THE FLowsRv KINGDOM UNHEALTHY.

Many are the rhapsodies that havve been writ
ten by travellers of the beauty and delight of life
in the "howery kingdom" of Japan, the big island
of little men of the Pacific Ocean that country of
gentle women and plucky men, of placid domesticity
Of the home. OF heroism on the field of battle
And now they are saying that Japan is very
unhealthy country for foreigners 10 live in Within
the past few months there have been recorded sew
eral instances Of foreigners-some of them young
men-who have been obliged to throw up good
positions in order to recuperate shattered nervous
systems and leave the country. The excessive hu-
mildly which is said to be on the increase with the
gradual encroachment Of the sea in certain places
is mainly responsible for the disadvantages under
which Japan suffers as health resort. Thus one
country after another is finally set down as detri-
mental TO health 1t is either too hot or too cold
too damp or teo malaral

CHINA WANTS BETTER MONEY.

Chinaa is up against the Peso coined by Uncle
Sam for the convenience and protection of the Fill
pnos. China is also in her foreign business an9
commerce up against the gold standard which STAN
dard the more it becomes world wide the more
disastrous is it to silver While China finds it profit
able to pay her indemnity in silver, yet for
business its value IS too fuctuating. The from
Paris that the French monetary commissioners have
received most cordially, the proposal to put China
a stable monetary basis, is significant. In fact
journals like the North China Herald. published at
Shanghai and other local organs of opinion, have
shown that all business interests in China foreign
as well native imperilled by the continual
fuctuaion in silver British and other foreign mer-
chants in the great ports have taken the matter up
and where formerly they were opposed to any
change they now find their future in danger. No
knows where he stands. and, worst of all, no
man knows what his fortune, accumulated during
years strict attention his business may amount
to in terms of gold few years hence.

GUARANTEED TO KNOCK OUT MOSQUITOES

Most people believe that nothing bak a
hungry mosquito bent presenting his bill for a
warm red supper. Districts in New Jersey have
been practically deserted by the inhabitants on
account of the internal pest. But the New York
Press guarantees immunity from their poisonous
probing. 1t is oil. This oil is common
whisky quinine or soda 1t is not a proprietary
ticle but an ordinary commercial product as
patented as petroleum. Remember the name-Oil of
Citronella. Five cents buys an ounce of it. Rub
little on the extended parts of your body, and no
mosquito will touch you. Some persons prefer TO
sprinkle few drops the pillow when going to
bed. Here is boon that millions of victims never

IMMORTAL SPIRITS TO INHAsIT PLANETS.
! M. MUIR ocK, EDIT

And now comes Dr. w. T. Moore, de-E emeritus
or The Missouri Bible college, at Columbia, with a
book in which he tries to prove by analogy and other
wise that an old human dream AMI conjecture is
in fact an intuition of God inspiration OF divin-
fly or the "evidence of things hoped for" 1t is
animated that his book will a sensation
among theologians End -scientists. 1t is asserted
that Dr. Moore is theistic evoutionist, though his
new definition of evolution will be quite satisfactory
even to conservatives He traces man in his origin,
history and destiny, and in the concluding chapter
Of the book, titled Death and the Other Side" he
attempts to show the meaning Of the numerous
worlds which now roll into space without inhabi-
tsEts
Dr. Moore's theory is in brief, that man will go
oil progressing through the cycles of eternity and
that when he assumes his spiritual body at the res
surrection he then will be passed to inhabit of
the planets or stars which are now unnhabted.
He concludes that the infnitude of space and
the almost infnitude of worlds become ineligible
from his point of view He believes that the spir-
It aal man will be the inhabitant of all these worlds
and that as emigration this earth is the future
evolutionary process by which these worlds are to
BIZ inhabited the inhabitants of the whole uni
verse will be of the same family and constitute
men of history-the real poets, artists, statesmen
q great spiritual brotherhood for all the ages of
the future Doctor Moore is theologian and jour
nalst of reputation both in America and Europe
He was for many years architect of London Eng

azine published there His wife is president of the
Christian Female college at Columbia.

The Old Dominion shelter closed down this morning, having about eX- hausted the available supply Of ore. For more than two months the man agemcnt has had an unusually large flow of water to contend with which has required the use of balers in the shaft the greater part of the time to hoist water, in addition to the pumps. Consequently no ore was hoisted, and the supply for the shelter came from the mule" tunnel and the stock pile. The water has decreased materially during the past few days, and it is be- lieved the worst is over, and that the hoistin@ of ore can be resumed very shortly and at least one furnace blown in again. Grading has begun for the new four compartment shaft at a point 600 feet or more north Of the present shaft and short distance northeast of the store house.-Belt.

 stable basis. Thus far. nothing posi- tive i7 known a. to the personnel of
 the directorate. II is stated that a
 company capitalized at one million dollars las been organized in Los
 Angeles. Dr. Davis is tO be the pre7i-
 dent and 5. r. Catey superintendent and general manager. The director ate is said 10 consist Of the following
 incOrpOrators: Dr. J. \. Davis, Cor don Mclean, Walter Douglas, C. l..
 Mills, \. Solomon and MT. Bailey Of Los Angeles. Walter Douglas is the superintendent of the Copper Queen mines at Bisbee; C. l.. Mills, Of Mo renci, is the uperintendent of the Detroit Copper company. Mr. Bailey is largely interested in real estate in California. Felix Martinez of this city is also named as director. The test well on the Mesa is now down 300 feet, and several good veins of water have been struck, but not in sufficient quantities to justify stopping. The boring will continue until the 1900 foot level is reached. Immediately upon Dr. Davis arrival here the di- rectorate will be called together and the organization etIected.-EI Paso News.
 The Clnanea lMcxico) Herald says it is reliably informed that a deal which transfers the interests of the Ores Colorado Mining O., at Minas Prietas. State Of Sonora). to syndi- cate of Chicago and New York capital ists headed by John ". Gates, has been finally consumated. The Herald then says: The deal has been on for several months, but there was ditii- culty in reaching the terms. As the Herald understands it the syndicate offered S6, GOO. GOO, and the company wanted 5000, GOO. As the transfer has been made the logical conclusion is that the actual figures were prob ably close to the center Of the two sums named. This is the largest min ing deal ever made in the state of SO- nora and probably in the Republic of Mexico."
 The report is current that all the illegal fences on the public domain must come down right away OF the gov ernmeut al Washington will take action against the offenders. \ special agent of the government was in Santa Fe the other day and it is thought that his mission was to obtain evidence against those parties who had not complied with the law in the matter. It is thought that they will probably bring up some of them at the United States court, which will convene at Las Cru ces the first of April. The punish mcnt for persons who do not tear down their fences is a line Of ,OOo or one year in jail.
