An Old Mine Discovered.

For many years there has been kind of legend handed around among the older inhabitants to the effect that far back in the past Mexieans knew of and oper- ated n4lne of great value some where III this section. Jacob Stultz, an industrious farmer living two miles east of the city, thinks he has now found that mine. He was at work in field on his place Wednesday when he discovered a number of large flat rock only short distance below the surface that showed they had been carefully placed there by human hands. On removing some of the rocks he found that they covered a large opening III the ground, an opening that had been made by man some time or other. The idea of the Mexican mine at once came to his mind, and now he IS quite confident he has discovered something of that kind He spent yesterday i'll re- moving the dirt and rock from the opening so that he could get into 1t ard see what he has un- covered Berryvil1e Star.

Government nenosits

Secretary Cortelyou has wisely taken
action with a view to arriving at some
equitable method of apportioning deposits
of public funds among national bank de-
positaries without suspicion of favoritism.
He has named a commission composed
of Treasury officials to examine into and
report on the present system. and 10 sug-
gest such changes in it as will cOnduce TO
the ends the Secretary desires to attain
through the deposit Of the public moneys
Since the passage of the Aldrich act,
allowing the Secretary to deposit customs
receipts in banks instead of locking them
up in the subtreasury. as was formerly
the practice the problem Of distributing
government funds has taken on new i'm
portance. There is q much larger volume
of deposits to be made. and it is obvious
that if some definite plan be not adopted
for their distribution, a plan automatic in
its operation. the possibility that favorit-

Magazines and MAGAZINES

When, some weeks ago, the Chicago
Chronicle made a sweeping declaration
tnat the magazines OF the country were
deteTiorating. not a word Of protest came
from the public so far as we were able
10 observe, and not the slightest disposi-
ton 70 uphold the contrary belief was
manifested by the newspaper press. The
logical conclusion to be drawn from this
is that the opinion of our Chicago con-
temporary is general; and, indeed. one
who keeps in touch with the many pe-
riodicals which burden the news stands
each month finds it difficult 10 under
stand how there could be any other view.
OF course, there are magazines and
magazines. which is 70 say that the
charge Of mediocrity, and worse, cannot
justly be brought against all Broadly
speaking, the older publications-the ones
which have been landmarks in literary
America for years-may be said to retain
fully the high standing they have long
enjoyed. It is the newer, flasher, and
cheaper ones-vastly cheaper in quality
as well as IN price-which are not repre-
sentative of anything that is high and
good in our civilization. The assertion
that they are degeneratiug is hardly ac-
curate, perhaps, since deterioration is not
possible in a thing which stands at zero
in the beginning. And yet some of them
seem to get worse month by month.
Most Of these so-called popular" pubIi-
popular" because the low price
at which they are offered invariably at
tracts some buyers, and because circula-
tion may be purchased ike any commod-
ity-have proceeded recently on what
they would have the country regard as
theory that everything in the world is
bad. and that their mission is TO reform.
The old-linc editors have continued in
the belief that the province Of a magazine
is TO instruct and amuse through fiction
and serious matter Of real literary worth.
The new ones-they would be called vel
low in the newspaper ield-subordinate
the literary quality TO a variety of other
things. Some Of them, doubtless, are
well intenuoned. but, again, speaking
generally, in their frenzied efforts to gain
circulation through what has come 10 be
called undertaking" we think the ma
jority Of them have done decidedly. more
harm than coed. The effect could not he

MEN AND THINGS.
Millions In the Cartridge BeIt.

@AAAAAOAs IA the 18EkE4AKe Aels
Gen. Anson Mills, owner of the Mills
Building and other valuable property in
Washington, and who retired from the
army several years ago, IS one Of the
wealthiest military men IN the country.
and his fortune is rapidly increasing,
Gen. Mills made his wealth by inventlng
a machine which manufactures the cart
ridge belt that IS now used by most Of
the armies throughout the world. The
machine is a simple device. but its inven-
ton has resulted in completely revolu-
tionizing the form OF the cartridge belt.
Gen. Mills receives a royalty on every
belt sold in this country and all others
where the cartridge holder used by our
soldiers has been adopted. The old leather
belt that for so long time was used by
the armies OF the world is seldom seen.
The new belt. which is made wholly OF
cotton. is superior. because it preserves
the cartridge from rust and verdigris. It's
cost is nominal, but its manufacturers
turn out such an enormous quantity Of the
belts that Gen. Mills has already accu-
mulated a large fortune from bis patented
invention.

PRESIDENCY AND CLEVELAND.
His Nomination by Democrats Would
Serve Good Purpose.

Prom the Richmond News Leader.
From Washington comes the story Of an
organized movement 20 secure for Grover
Cleveland the Democ attic nomination for
the Presidency next year. and 10 induce
the old man to accept and 10 make Che
fight. Mr.. Cleyelands hold on the people
is so strong and so tenacious. the popu-
lar confidence IN his hard sense and high
character is so widespread that We would
not be az all astonished 10 see this re-
ported movement become formidable. We
think the chances are against its success.
Mr.. Cleveland is seventy years old. and
there Is a popular prejudice against the
elg-tion OF a man of that age 10 the
Presidency. II put 10 the front. however.
he would serve a good purpose in draw
ing the fire and developing the strength
OF the Bryan and Hearst elements Of the
party, and make an opportunity for some
other conservative and real Democrat.
This would not be a very pleasant posi-
tion, bat Mr. Cleveland has gone through
50 many tough fights, and has been so
vindictively and venom0usiy abused that
a little denunCiauOn and antagOnism
more or less would not rufie or jar his
indomitable poise.

Word comes from Texas that while

CUlbersOn declined. as he usually does in

the impression that should the Texan
receive the unqualified Endorsement of the
Senate Democrats for leader he would
undertake the task assigned him.
Meantime several of Senator Culber-
sons friends in Washington and other
parts OF the country are continuing
quietly to sound the party leaders on his
availability as Presidential material To-
1893. It is well understood by them that
under no circumstances would Mr Culber-
son permit the use OF his name in this
connection unless IL should develop that
Mr. Bryan had concluded not TO accent
another nomination. However. in the
event of Mr.. Bryans positive declina-
ton again TO lead his party, which. OF
course, is almost universally regarded as
an imprObabilty at this time. it is be-
lieved that the CuIberson candidacy would
develop strength rapidly. 1t is known
that some substantial and extensive
groundwork for it already has been laid.
