FOOTHILL WINES. ~ A Party of Connoisseurs8Pass Judgment on Them, ‘ £4: The other evening several gentlemen who have mouths for such things assembled in this city to sample some wines made hereabout. The evening’s experience proved that to have the best wine, the vine should climb the hills as high as the grape will fully mature evefy year. The first bottle opened was a claret, very delicate, so delicate it would at first-have’ been called a very light! wine, though it was in fact full bodied. The bouquet was ‘superb, and. with the claret roughness there .was none of that astringency commoMy found in the imported and manufactured The next bottle was the same wine, with more age, and of course still more delicate and fr»grant. The third was a Sauterne-like wine, but partaking of the flavor of Stein Wein when first introduced by Delmonico to the New York public, at which time it was pure and good. Then came a wine from the black Hamburg grape, not quite so pleasant to most people’s taste. Then came two other red wines of a very fine flavor and bouquet, and strong bodied wines as all California wines are. It would not be wide of the mark to call these wines ports, clarets, Sauternes, or by any foreign name one may choose, but, they are neither. They are California foothill wines, distinct from the kinds of other countries. The soil that nourishes the vine so that it.attains in one year the strength that in other countries it only reaches after many, and the climate that every year ripens the grape so fully andgives to it just enough sugar and plenty of aroma— such a soil and climate produce wines of their own, wines that ought to have names of theirown. The day is not afar off when these hills will be covered with vineyards. = Leap Year Whist Farty. .A novelty in the shape of a whist party was given Friday evening by Miss Jennie Marsh at her home on Boulder street in this city. Invitations were issued to about fifteen of the young lady’s most intimate lady friends, each of whom was expected to be present with a gentleman escort. At nine o’clock the guests were all there and at the given signal the game began. After three hours of scientific playing the prizes were awarded to the following named ladies and gentlemen: The first prize, a handsome bound volume of Byron’s works, was won by Miss Mary Hook. Fred Bost carried off the gentlemen’s first prize, a bound volume of Tennyson’s works. Miss Lena Locklin and Chet.Chapman laid claim to the booby honors, each receiving a hand-painted celluloid card case containing a deck of cards. There were five tables. The souvenirs were red and cream colored ribbons, having the-number of the player stamped upon them in gold. The winners at each table were designated by a diamond-shaped gold wafer pasted on the ribbon, the losers receiving @ square-shaped blue one. Refreshments were served at 12.30. The following ladies and gentlemen were present: Misses Jennie Maresh, Emily Rolfe, Sadie Bell, Bell Rolfe, Cora Clark, Grace Morgan, Hattie Hook, Alice Crawford, Mary Hook, Lena Lockliii and Bell Stover; Messrs. R. Steinneger, Frank Cammet, Chet. Chapman, Geo. Richardson, Dahl Nivens, Tom Sharpe, Adolph Muller, B. F. Hedden, Fred Bost, Fred Cox and Marcus Baruh. It was a very pleasant affair in every way. All that were present speak highly of the manner in which they were received by the fair hostess. A Tourist's 5 Appetite. Sheriff Lord was told Friday night that there was a very large and dangerous-looking colored man hanging around Brunstetter’s lumber yard at Grass Valley. The stranger when taken in charge by the officer said he came from Los Angeles, was looking for work and had eaten nothing since the preceding day. He was given some food which he devoured ravenously and was then locked up in the town jail. He agreed to leave yester‘day morning for other parts. Ed Bean's Paper Collapses.

RicHARDS. -triends there. FELL FROM GRACE, Frozen Out of the Church Because He Got Stuck on Roller Skating. A letter has been received at this office from J. W. Stamp, a prominent lawyer of Tombstone, sevens Mr. Stump writes: isa I often think of Nevada City and old * * . want to get some grape cuttings from som: vineyardist there. We are goingto make a trial of grape culture here, and those grapes which do well at your altitude wili thrive here. The Muscat of Alexandria thrive in limestone soil at Tombstone, while . the land we propose to use is loam with granite subsoil. We are higher than you, but not any colder becatise we are further south. This is bound to become a famous region for temperate fruits. Cherries, peaches and apricots grow well even above where we propose to plant. If we do: not astonish the natives with winter apples I shall be astonished myself. I am also looking after some utining as well as other interests. Mr. Stump was pastor of the Methodist Church at this city in the early seventies. He was a youngish man of goud education, sociable, a ready speaker and withal a progressive sort of party. His wife is spoken of by old-timers as having been ‘ta lovely woman.” Like her husband, she was very.hospitable and they entertainéd considerably. She was quite tusty in matiers of dress and always looked stylish. She was an adept at.fancy work and by the aid of this accomplishment added much to the beauty of her home. Some of the more staid of the feminine portion ‘cf her husband’s flock did not like her ways. They reckoned she was ‘‘toa worldly” and said spiteful things which sometimes reached her ears and made her unhappy for a little while. But she would quickly recover from the effects of the uncharitable digs and remark that she did not suppose the diggers wanted to be hateful. ‘‘They don’t know any better,’”? she would say, hardly knowing whether to laugh or to cry while saying it. Parson Stump belonged to a debating society that met in what was ‘then . known as the Kidd block, and which was afterwards converted inte Pythian Castle. One night the subject tor discussion was, ‘‘Resolved, That dancing is asin.’ He was chosen to talk for the affirmative. When it came his turn he got up and said: ‘Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: I feel tonight that lam on the wrong side oi this debate. WhenI was a boy I used to steal out of my bed-room window ights when my parents thought I was sound asleep, and yo to dancing parties. Ifear that Iam ju-t as fond of dancing now as I was then, but I can’t help it. It was born in me.’? Then he went on and argued the test he could against dancing, but what he said against it did net atone in the eyes of the more strait-laced of his parishioners for what he had said in favor of it. : He capped the climax of his offending when the ruller-skating craze broke out here and got fairly under headway. He took to it as naturally as a duck does to water. He used to go down to the hall afternoons when there were but few people there, and skate-till _he-was-all_tired_out.__Then he would go home, eat a hearty supper, and purstie-his studies twice as industriously and effectively as though hé had not enjoyed the wholesome and manly exercise. This skating business was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. His wife’s fancy work and his endorsement of dancing were bitter pills to the exiremists of his congregation. But his partiality for roller-skating shocked them: beyond endurance. They made it so warm for him that he was only too glad to seek pastures new when the first opportunity offered. i The next thing heard of him was that he had become a successful lawyer, and he has been doing well at thet profession ever since. : When the news first caine back that he had forsaken the pulpit, certain well-meaning people who had made it very disagreeable for him here, held up their hands and remarked sanctimoniously, ‘‘There; I knew it! I just knew that. man would go the bad entirely.” Mr. Stump seems to be very happy and prosperous in his degradation.

The question that mainly engrossed the attention of the Debating Society Friday evening was, ‘Resolved, That Capital Punishment Should be ~Abolished.’”?. Messrs. O’Connor, T.'H. Carr and Stewart held that it should, while Messrs. Gaylerd, O’Neill and O’Farrell dissented. Mr. Conlan, who presided owing to the fact that President Hedden. had been captured by the fair sex and was putting in the evening at a leap year whist party on Boulder street, after carefully weighing the arguments advanced by the disputants awarded the victory to the negative side.

Subject of discourse in the evening, ‘‘An Impartial Friend Worth Having.” All are cordially invited. Friday night Eugene Holcombe leaned against the dynamo at the Grass Valley electric light station in such a manner as to make his body part of a complete circuit, and thus received a severe shock. One of his hands was somewhat burned. There is a leak in the roof at the point wheré Masonic Hall block joins the Associftiot’s one-story — brick building on Commercial street, and the plastering of a vacant store-room in the latter has been considerably AURIFEROUS GRAVEL. A Blind Miner Who Claims to be Able to Find lt. Epiror Tranxscript—I have made the greatest discovery in gold mining and geology ever made. IL have discovered how to trace up ancient river channels and determine the class and locality of their regular deposits. This makes gravel mining as well understood as any other industry. It makes investinent just as ‘safe, and enables the owner to understand the probable -valué of a claim just as well It is a acientitic discovery to be taught, understood and practiced. as.of an'y other unproved property. It is simnply to understand geology, which is not understood by scientific men to day as [ean prove it. I chal.enge dispute. Popular science on yedlogy is a humbug.—"We can go where a deposit would bevormed, and if no gravel is left that placais Prospected. Then all we have to do is t go where the next deposit would be formed. If any man thinks this casily done let him try it himseif and tell us when he has done it. This requires careful study and would make good experts of some account instead of smart Alecks. If scientific men were as bull-headed and thick headed as scholars as they are proving themselves to be as profess onal and scientific men, their teachers must have had a sorry time of it beating anything into their thick heads, Ithoughta scientific man was one’ that could grasp a situation and keep up with the advances of progress, but far from it, as they_are proving, To stickto-a-fool_ theory against facts proves a man-a jackass, and the facts will beat him every time. If men think swell-headed dignity is going. to prove their wisdom to the world they are mistaken, no matter what position they hold. I know I am right every time before I make it known, because I know that have to contend against both prejudice and popularity. But any editor that will take up for my side will win every time if he is not tco cowardly to face the oppo. dion to bay. Professors and H. CLENDENEN. ees na eee MiN6rS Wages at Wood River. The attempt to reduce the wages of miners from $3.50 to $3 a day in the Wood River county, Idaho, ended in damaged by the present storm. A crowd of men and boys one night last week went to James Quick’s house at Badger Hill, supposing that he was there with his bride, and amused themselves for several hours. ‘“‘serenading’”’ with tin horns, cow-bells, tin pansand other ear-splitting sounds. Towards morning they learned that the couple were not there. James B. McDermott, who lives at Grass Valley, has applied to ‘the’ Superior Court to be declared an insolvent. He owes $396.45 to merchants, house-owners, for medical services, etc., at this city, Grass Valley and North Bloomfield. His assets (all exempt from execution) foot up to 277. He attributes his failure to ‘bad contracts and lack of employment,’’ He is a miner. The Ghost Bobs Up Again. Eprror Transcrirt—Fearing we may get you into a Church rumpus— the most cruel and relentless of. all rows—we will reply to ‘Committee of Three”’ by saying that the information given you for publication was in the main correct. ‘Committee of Three’’ admits the major part of the statement, viz: That two or three members are carrying the whole burden of the Society’s affairs on their shoulders,while the other forty look on and say‘‘we are as much interested asever.”” The few assemble every week and work and plan, but the task of supporting a Church is too Herculean to be wrought out by two or three persons. The “hard workers’’ are those who work the year round and not. those who make a spurt once a year and then subside. No one claims that Trinity Society has the right to open.or close the Church, but we do have the right, as asserted in your paper of the 10th, to hand over the society propererty and recommend that a meeting be called by the Vestry to consider the advisability of closing the Church. We reiterate that a meeting has been called for February 22d at the Union Hotel and most respectfully request the ‘Committee of Three’’ and the committee of the whole to be present and the same to bring their needle, thimble and scissors. ComMMITYEE OF ON&. Two Ways. Choose Which! There are two usual ways of doing what Nature sometimes does incompletely, te relieve the bowels. One is to swallow a drastic purgative which evacuates profusely, abruptly and with pain, the other is to take Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the effect of which is not violent, but sufficiently thorough, and which does not gripe the intestines. If the first is selected, the person employing itneed not expect permanent benetit, and he cannot hope to escape the debilitating reaction which leaves the. organs as bad or worse off than before. If, on the other hand, he resorts to the Bitters, be can rely upon the restoration of a regular hahit of body, consequent. upon arenewal. Besides healthfully relaxing the bowels; the bitters arouses a dormant liver, imparts a beneficial impetus to the action of ‘the kidneys, and counteracts the early twinges of. rheumatism, a tendency to gout, and malaria in all its forms.

Chere was a cessation of work in’ the mines for a time while the matter of wages wus being discussed. Miners pand mine owners met together and talked the thing over. All were amicable. Mine owners said that; owing to the high rates charged by the railroad for the tran portation of ore, they could not afford to pay miners $3.50 a day; the miners said that because of the high prices of’ all articles and the great cost of living, they could not. work for $3 a day. The miners entered fully into the situation were kept at $350, they would do their best to get the rates of freight on the railroad reduced. The Minnie Moore miners were put on at the old rates on the 4th instant, and it was expected that the Queen of the Hills and Relief would follow suit the next day.

The Anti-Miners Encounter a Snag in the United States Circust Court. — The anti-mining cranks have not been so chipper since ex-Senator Cross gave them such a winding-up in the United States Circuit Court recently. A charge of contempt against some defendants for hydraulicking at the Omegagaine was being inquired into by Meter in Chancery Houghton. ‘General Hart Was attorney for the prosecution and ex-Senator UU. ?WCross for the defense.” Hydraulicker Dick Tully, who is interested in the property, was put on the stand, and the doughty General started in~ to’ prove by him that the mine was in Then it was that Mr. Cross brought the proceedings to. a sudden standstill and knocked the prosecution out. He called attention to the principle that'no man need give in court testimeney that would criminate bimself. The Master in Chancery so instracted the witness. General Hart was ‘“‘flabbergasted,”’ as has been since remarked by a miner who was there., He admitted that it was necessary to have Mr, Tully’s evidence-in order to make out a case for his side. = “But don’t you see, General, ‘that you can’t have it Khe desires to withhold it on thatground?” asked his honor. = : “We can never secure a conviction in these cases, then,’’ said the General, ‘and we might as well stop right here.’”’ : ‘That’s exactly what-we propase to make you do,” suid Mr. Cross. ‘The hosts of Sexey & Co. have not yet recovered from _the-—dull thud of that day’s experience, and they are -not likely todo so. They acknowledge that it is next to impossible to Convict the hydraulickers unless they have the evidence of the —hydraulickers themselves. And they can’t see how fhey are going to get said tesiimony, now that the point has been. raised. —— 2 -2@e + The Chautauquans. Che next meeting of Hellas Circle, CG. L.

FOOTHILL WINES. ~ A Party of Connoisseurs8Pass Judgment on Them, ‘ £4: The other evening several gentlemen who have mouths for such things assembled in this city to sample some wines made hereabout. The evening’s experience proved that to have the best wine, the vine should climb the hills as high as the grape will fully mature evefy year. The first bottle opened was a claret, very delicate, so delicate it would at first-have’ been called a very light! wine, though it was in fact full bodied. The bouquet was ‘superb, and. with the claret roughness there .was none of that astringency commoMy found in the imported and manufactured The next bottle was the same wine, with more age, and of course still more delicate and fr»grant. The third was a Sauterne-like wine, but partaking of the flavor of Stein Wein when first introduced by Delmonico to the New York public, at which time it was pure and good. Then came a wine from the black Hamburg grape, not quite so pleasant to most people’s taste. Then came two other red wines of a very fine flavor and bouquet, and strong bodied wines as all California wines are. It would not be wide of the mark to call these wines ports, clarets, Sauternes, or by any foreign name one may choose, but, they are neither. They are California foothill wines, distinct from the kinds of other countries. The soil that nourishes the vine so that it.attains in one year the strength that in other countries it only reaches after many, and the climate that every year ripens the grape so fully andgives to it just enough sugar and plenty of aroma— such a soil and climate produce wines of their own, wines that ought to have names of theirown. The day is not afar off when these hills will be covered with vineyards. = Leap Year Whist Farty. .A novelty in the shape of a whist party was given Friday evening by Miss Jennie Marsh at her home on Boulder street in this city. Invitations were issued to about fifteen of the young lady’s most intimate lady friends, each of whom was expected to be present with a gentleman escort. At nine o’clock the guests were all there and at the given signal the game began. After three hours of scientific playing the prizes were awarded to the following named ladies and gentlemen: The first prize, a handsome bound volume of Byron’s works, was won by Miss Mary Hook. Fred Bost carried off the gentlemen’s first prize, a bound volume of Tennyson’s works. Miss Lena Locklin and Chet.Chapman laid claim to the booby honors, each receiving a hand-painted celluloid card case containing a deck of cards. There were five tables. The souvenirs were red and cream colored ribbons, having the-number of the player stamped upon them in gold. The winners at each table were designated by a diamond-shaped gold wafer pasted on the ribbon, the losers receiving @ square-shaped blue one. Refreshments were served at 12.30. The following ladies and gentlemen were present: Misses Jennie Maresh, Emily Rolfe, Sadie Bell, Bell Rolfe, Cora Clark, Grace Morgan, Hattie Hook, Alice Crawford, Mary Hook, Lena Lockliii and Bell Stover; Messrs. R. Steinneger, Frank Cammet, Chet. Chapman, Geo. Richardson, Dahl Nivens, Tom Sharpe, Adolph Muller, B. F. Hedden, Fred Bost, Fred Cox and Marcus Baruh. It was a very pleasant affair in every way. All that were present speak highly of the manner in which they were received by the fair hostess. A Tourist's 5 Appetite. Sheriff Lord was told Friday night that there was a very large and dangerous-looking colored man hanging around Brunstetter’s lumber yard at Grass Valley. The stranger when taken in charge by the officer said he came from Los Angeles, was looking for work and had eaten nothing since the preceding day. He was given some food which he devoured ravenously and was then locked up in the town jail. He agreed to leave yester‘day morning for other parts. Ed Bean's Paper Collapses.

Stamp, a prominent lawyer of Tombstone, sevens Mr. Stump writes: isa I often think of Nevada City and old * * . want to get some grape cuttings from som: vineyardist there. We are goingto make a trial of grape culture here, and those grapes which do well at your altitude wili thrive here. The Muscat of Alexandria thrive in limestone soil at Tombstone, while . the land we propose to use is loam with granite subsoil. We are higher than you, but not any colder becatise we are further south. This is bound to become a famous region for temperate fruits. Cherries, peaches and apricots grow well even above where we propose to plant. If we do: not astonish the natives with winter apples I shall be astonished myself. I am also looking after some utining as well as other interests. Mr. Stump was pastor of the Methodist Church at this city in the early seventies. He was a youngish man of goud education, sociable, a ready speaker and withal a progressive sort of party. His wife is spoken of by old-timers as having been ‘ta lovely woman.” Like her husband, she was very.hospitable and they entertainéd considerably. She was quite tusty in matiers of dress and always looked stylish. She was an adept at.fancy work and by the aid of this accomplishment added much to the beauty of her home.. Some of the more staid of the feminine portion ‘cf her husband’s flock did not like her ways. They reckoned she was ‘‘toa worldly” and said spiteful things which sometimes reached her ears and made her unhappy for a little while. But she would quickly recover from the effects of the uncharitable digs and remark that she did not suppose the diggers wanted to be hateful. ‘‘They don’t know any better,’”? she would say, hardly knowing whether to laugh or to cry while saying it. Parson Stump belonged to a debating society that met in what was ‘then . known as the Kidd block, and which was afterwards converted inte Pythian Castle. One night the subject tor discussion was, ‘‘Resolved, That dancing is asin.’ He was chosen to talk for the affirmative. When it came his turn he got up and said: ‘Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen: I feel tonight that lam on the wrong side oi this debate. WhenI was a boy I used to steal out of my bed-room window ights when my parents thought I was sound asleep, and yo to dancing parties. Ifear that Iam ju-t as fond of dancing now as I was then, but I can’t help it. It was born in me.’? Then he went on and argued the test he could against dancing, but what he said against it did net atone in the eyes of the more strait-laced of his parishioners for what he had said in favor of it. : He capped the climax of his offending when the ruller-skating craze broke out here and got fairly under headway. He took to it as naturally as a duck does to water. He used to go down to the hall afternoons when there were but few people there, and skate-till _he-was-all_tired_out.__Then he would go home, eat a hearty supper, and purstie-his studies twice as industriously and effectively as though hé had not enjoyed the wholesome and manly exercise. This skating business was the last straw that broke the camel’s back. His wife’s fancy work and his endorsement of dancing were bitter pills to the exiremists of his congregation. But his partiality for roller-skating shocked them: beyond endurance. They made it so warm for him that he was only too glad to seek pastures new when the first opportunity offered. i The next thing heard of him was that he had become a successful lawyer, and he has been doing well at thet profession ever since. : When the news first caine back that he had forsaken the pulpit, certain well-meaning people who had made it very disagreeable for him here, held up their hands and remarked sanctimoniously, ‘‘There; I knew it! I just knew that. man would go the bad entirely.” Mr. Stump seems to be very happy and prosperous in his degradation.

The question that mainly engrossed the attention of the Debating Society Friday evening was, ‘Resolved, That Capital Punishment Should be ~Abolished.’”?. Messrs. O’Connor, T.'H. Carr and Stewart held that it should, while Messrs. Gaylerd, O’Neill and O’Farrell dissented. Mr. Conlan, who presided owing to the fact that President Hedden. had been captured by the fair sex and was putting in the evening at a leap year whist party on Boulder street, after carefully weighing the arguments advanced by the disputants awarded the victory to the negative side. John Werry sang, T. H. Carr recited and Mr. Stewart read. A member with a poorly fitting set of false teeth and other impediments in his speech attempted to read a selection in Irish dialect.

Subject of discourse in the evening, ‘‘An Impartial Friend Worth Having.” All are cordially invited. Friday night Eugene Holcombe leaned against the dynamo at the Grass Valley electric light station in such a manner as to make his body part of a complete circuit, and thus received a severe shock. One of his hands was somewhat burned. There is a leak in the roof at the point wheré Masonic Hall block joins the Associftiot’s one-story — brick building on Commercial street, and the plastering of a vacant store-room in the latter has been considerably AURIFEROUS GRAVEL. A Blind Miner Who Claims to be Able to Find lt. Epiror Tranxscript—I have made the greatest discovery in gold mining and geology ever made. IL have discovered how to trace up ancient river channels and determine the class and locality of their regular deposits. This makes gravel mining as well understood as any other industry. It makes investinent just as ‘safe, and enables the owner to understand the probable -valué of a claim just as well It is a acientitic discovery to be taught, understood and practiced. as.of an'y other unproved property. It is simnply to understand geology, which is not understood by scientific men to day as [ean prove it. I chal.enge dispute. Popular science on yedlogy is a humbug.—"We can go where a deposit would bevormed, and if no gravel is left that placais Prospected. Then all we have to do is t go where the next deposit would be formed. If any man thinks this casily done let him try it himseif and tell us when he has done it. This requires careful study and would make good experts of some account instead of smart Alecks. If scientific men were as bull-headed and thick headed as scholars as they are proving themselves to be as profess onal and scientific men, their teachers must have had a sorry time of it beating anything into their thick heads, Ithoughta scientific man was one’ that could grasp a situation and keep up with the advances of progress, but far from it, as they_are proving, To stickto-a-fool_ theory against facts proves a man-a jackass, and the facts will beat him every time. If men think swell-headed dignity is going. to prove their wisdom to the world they are mistaken, no matter what position they hold. I know I am right every time before I make it known, because I know that have to contend against both prejudice and popularity. But any editor that will take up for my side will win every time if he is not tco cowardly to face the oppo. dion to bay. Professors and H. CLENDENEN. ees na eee MiN6rS Wages at Wood River. The attempt to reduce the wages of miners from $3.50 to $3 a day in the Wood River county, Idaho, ended in damaged by the present storm. A crowd of men and boys one night last week went to James Quick’s house at Badger Hill, supposing that he was there with his bride, and amused themselves for several hours. ‘“‘serenading’”’ with tin horns, cow-bells, tin pansand other ear-splitting sounds. Towards morning they learned that the couple were not there. James B. McDermott, who lives at Grass Valley, has applied to ‘the’ Superior Court to be declared an insolvent. He owes $396.45 to merchants, house-owners, for medical services, etc., at this city, Grass Valley and North Bloomfield. His assets (all exempt from execution) foot up to 277. He attributes his failure to ‘bad contracts and lack of employment,’’ He is a miner. The Ghost Bobs Up Again. Eprror Transcrirt—Fearing we may get you into a Church rumpus— the most cruel and relentless of. all rows—we will reply to ‘Committee of Three”’ by saying that the information given you for publication was in the main correct. ‘Committee of Three’’ admits the major part of the statement, viz: That two or three members are carrying the whole burden of the Society’s affairs on their shoulders,while the other forty look on and say‘‘we are as much interested asever.”” The few assemble every week and work and plan, but the task of supporting a Church is too Herculean to be wrought out by two or three persons. The “hard workers’’ are those who work the year round and not. those

who make a spurt once a year and then subside. No one claims that Trinity Society has the right to open.or close the Church, but we do have the right, as asserted in your paper of the 10th, to hand over the society propererty and recommend that a meeting be called by the Vestry to consider the advisability of closing the Church. We reiterate that a meeting has been called for February 22d at the Union Hotel and most respectfully request the ‘Committee of Three’’ and the committee of the whole to be present and the same to bring their needle, thimble and scissors. ComMMITYEE OF ON&. Two Ways. Choose Which! There are two usual ways of doing what Nature sometimes does incompletely, te relieve the bowels. One is to swallow a drastic purgative which evacuates profusely, abruptly and with pain, the other is to take Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, the effect of which is not violent, but sufficiently thorough, and which does not gripe the intestines. If the first is selected, the person employing itneed not expect permanent benetit, and he cannot hope to escape the debilitating reaction which leaves the. organs as bad or worse off than before. If, on the other hand, he resorts to the Bitters, be can rely upon the restoration of a regular hahit of body, consequent. upon arenewal. Besides healthfully relaxing the bowels; the bitters arouses a dormant liver, imparts a beneficial impetus to the action of ‘the kidneys, and counteracts the early twinges of. rheumatism, a tendency to gout, and malaria in all its forms. Tus Rev. Geo. H. Thayer, of Bourbon, Ind., says: “Both myself and wife owe our livesto Shiloh’s Consumption Cute.” For sale at Carr the old rate ($3.50) being maintained. Chere was a cessation of work in’ the mines for a time while the matter of wages wus being discussed. Miners pand mine owners met together and talked the thing over. All were amicable. Mine owners said that; owing to the high rates charged by the railroad for the tran portation of ore, they could not afford to pay miners $3.50 a day; the miners said that because of the high prices of’ all articles and the great cost of living, they could not. work for $3 a day. The miners entered fully into the situation were kept at $350, they would do their best to get the rates of freight on the railroad reduced. The Minnie Moore miners were put on at the old rates on the 4th instant, and it was expected that the Queen of the Hills and Relief would follow suit the next day.

The Anti-Miners Encounter a Snag in the United States Circust Court. — The anti-mining cranks have not been so chipper since ex-Senator Cross gave them such a winding-up in the United States Circuit Court recently. A charge of contempt against some defendants for hydraulicking at the Omegagaine was being inquired into by Meter in Chancery Houghton. ‘General Hart Was attorney for the prosecution and ex-Senator UU. ?WCross for the defense.” Hydraulicker Dick Tully, who is interested in the property, was put on the stand, and the doughty General started in~ to’ prove by him that the mine was in Then it was that Mr. Cross brought the proceedings to. a sudden standstill and knocked the prosecution out. He called attention to the principle that'no man need give in court testimeney that would criminate bimself. The Master in Chancery so instracted the witness. General Hart was ‘“‘flabbergasted,”’ as has been since remarked by a miner who was there., He admitted that it was necessary to have Mr, Tully’s evidence-in order to make out a case for his side. = “But don’t you see, General, ‘that you can’t have it Khe desires to withhold it on thatground?” asked his honor. = : “We can never secure a conviction in these cases, then,’’ said the General, ‘and we might as well stop right here.’”’ : ‘That’s exactly what-we propase to make you do,” suid Mr. Cross. ‘The hosts of Sexey & Co. have not yet recovered from _the-—dull thud of that day’s experience, and they are -not likely todo so. They acknowledge that it is next to impossible to Convict the hydraulickers unless they have the evidence of the —hydraulickers themselves. And they can’t see how fhey are going to get said tesiimony, now that the point has been. raised. —— 2 -2@e + The Chautauquans. Che next meeting of Hellas Circle, CG. L.
