THE GREAT MIXING CAMP.
???
The Unprecedented Ku*h for Liendville,
Col.? Precious Metal* In Abundance ?
Strange Scene* of Miner** Life.
A year ago Leadville, Col., was a deserted
mining ramp. To-day it contains
several churches and three theaters, and
is the most hustling, exciting spot in
America. Although distant twenty
- .?,i ___
miles from any nuiroau, nuimicus arcpouring
into the place daily, and the surrounding
country is filled with eager
searchers for the precious metals which
' are found everywhere in abundance.
Writing from Leadville. a correspondent
of the Louisville Courier-Journal says:
441 think I am fully .justified in saying
that new "strikes' are being made daily.
Prospect holes on the mountain sides for
miles around are as thick as cheeries
upon a tree in full fruit. Daily there
comes to town some happy individual
whose pick has struck into the precious
stuff. The streets are full of men who
are ready to buy claims and prospects,
yet there is so great risk in buying that
all are cautious and wary. Hourly,
aye, constantly, the ripple of talk goes
from center to circumference and back
again?talk of mines, claims, prospects,
strikes, prices paid and received. Kverv
one nearly is interested, or seeking to
become so, in claims. The demurelooking
individual that looks at you
over his gold spectacles, seeming calm
and unconcerned, is anxiously waiting
news from his claim up Big Evans,
Little Evans or Stray Horse gulch. The
clerk who is yonder measuring a rod of
ribbon is in his thoughts measuring the
distance from the surface to the deposit
on his claim. That man reeling in
drunkenness along the streets has just
come in from his claim. So it goes.
Everybody is interested, and hence
everybody is excited over the news to
be gathered. Xor is the mining excitement
confined to this district. Carbonateville
or Ten-mile, Kokomo,
Granite, Eagle River, the Gunneson and
many other places within a radius of
forty miles of Letidville come in for their
share of the excitement. Reports are
constantly coming in of rich strikes at
each of the places. But Leadvilie is the
center. From this place go the pros(>ectors;
to this place come those who
lave prospered. This makes Leadville
the wonder, and puts it far ahead of any
camp known in the past or present. It
is impossible to give a correct or definite
idea of the camp. It must be seen to be
known. Though thousands of letters
go from here daily, both to the press and
individuals, and each writer strives to
tell those behind what it is and what
11 IS 1IK<% vt?l e>lT) iu-m annu is ouiprised,
and in no instance that has come
under my observation lias the camp
failed to far exceed expectations.
"Take out the ringing of the cThuvhbells
and tlie small percentage of the
population which attend church, and
there is no Sabbath in Leadville. The
saw-mi Lis turn out just as much lumber,
the blacksmith tires are just as hot, as
much and more money is won and lost
at gaming, as many goods are sold on
the Sabbath as on a week day. In truth,
in passing through the town on the Sabbath,
if the street leading by the churches
is not taken no imagination could torture
it into a Sabbath day. There is the
same whirr and buzz as on other days:
or, if there be a difference, it is on the increase,
for Sunday is the day that many
miners come in from the mountains to
do their trading. In justice to the carpenters,
I should mention that I have
noticed that not a great many of them
thus desecrate the Lord's day: but it
does really look as if nearly all who have
come here have neglected to bring the
fourth commandment with them.
" The universal inquiry is, will
this rush continue, and, if so, how
long? Shrewd men hold their business
well in hand, so that if the
crash should come their lamps will
be burning. One thing is beyond doubt,
and that is that the mountains are full
of carbonates, and I now do not doubt
that the richest discoveries are yet to be
made, and that the half has not yet been
dreamed of. In addition to the silver
discoveries, gold has been found in its
very richness up to the California gulch
(the memorable gulch of the 18(H) excitement).
Capitalists have taken bold of
it, and the indications now are that during
the coming summer many gold
leads will be found. As long as these
discoveries are made Leadville will
thrive; beyond this I will not attempt to
prophesy, for the longer I stay here the
more bewildered and puzzled am I. The
enterprise here is astonishing. New
houses are going up. as with a magician's
wantl, in all parts of the camp. A street
that was familiar yesterday presents a
wholly different appearance to-day. and
yet there is a cry for more houses, more
room, etc., etc. I succeeded in getting
an office on Chestnut street, after waiting
and watching two weeks. It was
rented before the house, was built, but
the party failed to take it, and I happened
to apply at the ' nick of time,'
much to the discomfiture of two or three
applicants, who came a hour later than
I. My room is 10\12, and 1 am considered
extremely fortunate in having to
pay only forty dollars per month for it.
I am still in receipt of letters asking advice
about coming here. I can only say
what I have said before. There is an
abundance of mineral, and strikes are
constantly being made. One coming
here may become rich in a week, and he
may fail. It depends upon his fortune
in striking mineral. There is absolutely
no room for clerks, bookkeepers, etc.
Men of energy and .will, who are willing
to work in the earth, can find work to
do in hunting for mineral, though it is
proper to say that the stoutest men have
to become inured to the climate before
they can do much labor. On account of
rorlliivl oil* o wolL* nf rtn/i Immlp/wl
yards exhausts the breath, so a 'tender
foot'(a name for new-comers) is illy
prepared for labor until lie is acclimated.
" Mortality is not so groat here as I expected
to find. A visit to one of the saloons
at midnight would .justify a conclusion
of a fearful moi tality. Hundreds
sleep on the wet, cold floors, without
cover or comfort. It has been my wonder
that they do not die by the score. I
believe that such would be the ease in a
damper atmosphere.

Liberal feeding is true economy. Tlie J
aim should be to induce animals of all
kinds to eat all they have a good appetite j
for and digest, by changing food and j
also changing methods of preparing it.
Pomologists generally disapprove of j
raising wheat and other kinds of grain
in young orchards, on account of the
tendency of such crops to dry up the soil j
in summer, leaving the trees to suffer for
want of moisture. In wet soil the grains '
must be beneficial instead of injurious, J
especially in wet seasons; still, as a rule, J
we would prefer to plant the land in j
orchards with some kind of crop requir- j
ing cultivation in summer. Potatoes,
peas, beans or other low growing kinds j
are preferable to corn or table crops. (
It is well known among feeders that t
when an animal is once ready for fatten- ?
ing, the quicker the process is carried on (
the better and the more tender the meat, t
Above all, once an animal is being fed, ?
it should not be allowed to shrink dur-' ;
ing the fattening. It is not only a loss ]
of time, but the animal will not retain j
that uniform juiciness of flesii that# it ^

Few of us are sufficiently aware of the
true value of our insectivorous birds.
From early spring until*late autumn i
these restless visitors hunt the lields
and gardens in quest of food, prying into
every nook and crevice where the dc- ]
stroyers of our crops lie concealed, a
countless host of which falls a prey to 1
their busy search during the season of
planting and harvesting. Every bird
that frequents a farm?if we exeept the i
henhawk and crow?comes to oiler us an
unpaid service whose importance we can <
hardly overestimate. Let any one who
doubts this watch a phoebc-bird, or a
cnni*nw fin* Imlf ;in linnr. and see how. i
with scarcely a moment's intermission, 1
our little insect-hunter pursues liis-ea^er
task; .and then, lot him reflect upon the 1
necessity, the duty, of affording these
birds every possible protection. 1
A simple and convenient method of
obtaining a supply of radishes at any ,
season of the year consists in steeping
the seeds in water for twenty-four hours,
and then exposing them to heat in small
bags. In another twenty-four hours i
they will have commenced to germinate, (
and, if then sown in boxes of well- j
manured soil, and occasionally sprinkled
with a tepid water, radishes as large as
pi.-kling onions will be ready for gathering
in live or six days ?Amcricati Culti- ,

Recipes.
stffkf.n Eggs.?Six hard-boiled eggs,
cut in two, take out the yolks and mash
line; then add two teaspoonfuls of butter,
one of cream, two or three drops of
onion juice, and salt and pepper to taste; ;
mix all thoroughly and till the eggs with
ft.;* mivtiiTO. nut tlipni together. Then
then* will he a little of the tilling left, to :
which add one well-beaten egg. Cover |
the eggs with this mixture and then roll :
in cracker crumbs. Fry a light brown 1
in boiling fat.
Fhosted Ckeam Pif..?One pint of
milk, three eggs, one-half a cup of Hour
and one cup of sugar. Heat the yolks and
sugar together, and then add a little
milk and put in flour and a little salt. ;
Frosting for the same.?Take the whites
of the eggs and beat to a stiff froth, add
three tablcspoonfuls of sugar, and flavor
with lemon. Hake the pie first, and when
cold add the frosting; drop on with a
spoon, and set it in the oven till a light
brown.
New Way to Cook Chickens.?Cut
the chicken up, put it in a pan and cover
it over with water; let it stew as usual,
and when done make a thickening of
cream and Hour, adding a piece of butter
and pepper and salt. Have made and
bake a pair of short-cakes, made as for
pie crust, but roll thin and cut in small
squares. This is much better than chicken
pie and more simple to make. The crust
should be laid on a dish and the chicken
gravy poured over while both are hot.?

Indian' Pudding.?This Indian pudding
is so easily made I think you will
like it: Scald a quart of milk (skimmed
milk will do), and stir in seven heaped
tablespoons of sifted Indian meal, a tca.spoonful
of salt, a teaspoonful of ginger
or ginger and cinnamon mixed half and J
half, a tablespoon or more of chopped
suet, a teacup of molasses; last, one egg.

stir in a spoonful of butter, or, if you "
have nice beef drippings, use that instead
of butter. Ileat slowly, stirring often, 11
and. when warmed through, cover and i

stove or range twenty minutes. When j
ready to dish, fold :is you would an ome- j

different kinds of meat* in it. Avoid F
having a hash greasy. ?
Cultivating ltoses.
T have for several years cultivated a c
few choice roses. Last spring I added |(
twenty to the number, and nearly all of t
them I set out in three and four inch
pots. In June I plunged these into the
soil of my llower garden; two of my J
older roses and three of my new ones,
how oyer, were planted directly in the a
soil. All these roses were of the ever- a
blooming sort. One of the three new
roses that were set in the ground, and c
I only one, grew more luxuriantly and v
bloomed more abundantly than those in v
the pots. It was that charming rose c
Bon Silenc. It gave me six roses in mid- j n
summer, and then a new shoot sprang | li
up from the roots, grew very rapidly, v
and put forth three buds, and a branch it
put forth two more, so in the autumn 1 f
had live roses (eleven in all) on that tiny c
hush. After potting and removing to
the house in October, let it rest a few
weeks and then cut off nearly all of its
leaves: from the shoot referred to I removed
every one. At this time, two
weeks later, there are vigorous shoots
more than an inch long, with buds already
peeping forth, where I cut off the (
leaves. (
Several years ago I was forecil to strip 11
my bushes of their leaves, not knowing *
then how otherwise to get rid of the
aphis, though I have sinee proved the j ,
virtues of hellebore. Soon after tints tie- , J.
spoiling the plant, it would repay my *j
harshness by putting forth new shoots at i '
the leaf joints, crowded with buds, i K(
Some people are so careful of their bar- j a
ren rose plants that not a leaf must he j sl
cut off. not a branch pruned, so that they a
have naught hut the unsightly hush to e
care for, whereas, if Lthey would cut w
[own the old wood they might be rewarded
bv a new irrowth. A cood rich
oil is quite as essential as pruning; also
noisturc and sunshine. I have seen poo- ?
>le who became discouraged because \
heir new rose plants dropped their c'
eaves. No matter how green the stalk. 2
hey exclaim: " My rose bush is deadf1
ind by neglect they soon kill it. Had I
mrsued the same course, several of my 0

A Ilrnnken Deer.
It is stated by an authority that the ,
deer?at any rate the French deer?for ,
all his amiable qualities gets drunk. ]
Hut only at this time of the year. He
then 'throws himself with avidity' [
upon certain tender shoots containing a ''
juice which ferments in his stomach and j
intoxicates him to such an extent that
he strays from his usual haunts and
' follows his nose.' Thus it came to
pass that a deer 'in liquor' was discovered
by a peasant, also 'in liquor,'
lying 'dead drunk' in a ditch on the
IV..,/I tn 11 ,r? villmn. of Ollflie-On-Rrio. 1
The peasant, delighted at the godsend,
tied the deer's legs together with a
handkerchief, and, having hoisted the
animal on his shoulders, prepared to
carry him off. The deer, roused from
his drunken sleep by this treatment, became
so troublesome that the peasant,
who was of an inventive turn, took off
his blouse, passed it over ihe deer's
head juid improvised by means of it a
sort of strait-jacket, which paralyzed
the beast's movements. lie had just
finished these intelligent proceedings
when he perceived two gendarmes, who,
without more ado, requested to be furnished
with his name and address, in
view of legal proceedings. In Hie mean- J
while the deer, whose feet had been un- j
tied, scampered off, a little; embarrassed
by the blouse, to his doc and family, .
whose consternation at his strange appearance
may he readily imagined. He !
p-ohably had a bad time of it when he
reached his own quarters, while the
peasant had to reckon with the legal :
luthorities. Thus we see how a deer, as
well as a man, got into trouble through 1

A Governor's Arrest as a Horse Thief
i
It is related that while Thomas Mann
Randolph was Governor of Virginia, he 1
was once arrested within a few hundred '
yards of his home, in this county, and 1
carried a prisoner,!o his own house. The '
story is to the following effect: The ,
governor was on a visit to his own ,
borne, and lindin^ that the fencing on
bis plantation was pulled down and J
burned by wagoners passing along from
the Valley to Richmond, he' determined ,
to detect and punish them. One evening
lie observed a party go into camp on the i
roadside, and after dark he strolled down |
to a point where he could conveniently '
watcli them. lie staid out all night, but 1
the wagoners made no depredations on 1
liis fences. In the early morning, how- 1
jver, when they were about to kindle
the lires to prepare breakfast, they 1
started out to gather up what fuel they
night find for that purpose, when they '
spied a man^itting on the fence a short <
listance ahead.
Now, it appears that a short time be- .
lore. Governor Randolph had issued his
proclamation, offering a reward for the ,
apture of an escaped hors#lthief, and
die wagoners, who had seen the des ription
of the conviet, thought they
liseovered a close resemblance between
he man on the fence and the escaped I
Won. So thoroughly satisfied were they
hat they would receive the reward for
lis arrest that they approached and anlouunced

)neofthem proposed, as lie cracked his ,
vagon whip, to give him a thrashing and
hen let him go, but his companion pro- 1
ested that it was proper to ascertain '
vhether he was the guilty party before
ntlieting the punishment, and proposed
o take him to' the residence of Governor
landolph, which was near by, and get
lis advice. Accordingly, they inarched
heir prisoner up to the house, and
cnoeking at the front door, a servant
nade bis nppearacc, of whom they inluired:
;
" Is your master at home? "
The servant opened his eyes in astonshuient
at the inquiry, and replied, i

" That's master!" i

Proper Size of the Human Form. j
The proper proportions of the human ^
>rm, as laid down by the best authorities, I
re as follows: The height should be ex- I
ctly ecptal to the distance between the tips ?
fjthe middle fingers of either hand when A
lie arms are fully extended. Ten times lie
length of the hand, or seven and a hall
uios tnc length of the foot, or five times the 1
i'liimtor -,f (tin ntiosl from nnp nrmnit In a'
ic other, should also each give the height
f the whole hotly. The distance front the [
Miction of the thighs to the ground should
e the same as from that point to the crown J
f the head. The knee should he precisely <ii
tidway between the same point and the J
otloin of ihe heel. The distance from the I
Ibow to the tip of the middle finger should
e the same as from theelhow to the middle o
ne of the breast. From the top of the T
ead to the level 01 the chih should he the V
ime as from the level of the chin to that ci
[ the armpits, and from the heel to the toe. }j

A Mohammedan Funeral in Afriea,
A correspondent of the Springfield Iicublican
writes from Tunis: " Yesteray
I saw a Mohammedan funeral passng
through the streets. My attention
fas first attracted to it by hearing a
lurmur of many voices approaching
rnm tlio tlicfnn/<n Tllfl CAiinil liroa iin_
MIOWfcUUV. Alivy .WUUU ?T (IO Ullike
anything I ever heard before. Soon
here appeared two or three hundred
Lrab men crowding through the narrow
treet. all joining in .sinking or chanting
. song for the dead, in the midst of
heui several Arabs bore upon their
boulders a bier like a crib. The botom
of it was covered over with a Turk3I1
or Tunisian rug, on which was
tretclied the body of the dead Arab,
nveloped in what appeared to be a
'ersian shawl. I would have followed
iter the procession, but was told that
tone but a Mohammedan was allowed
o witness the burial ceremony. Old
esidents of Tunis tell mc that the final
ct of depositing the body in mother
arth is a most strange and novel proedure.
The Arabs have a superstition
hat as soon as the new-made grave is
eady figr its occupant the evil spirits at
>ncc take possession of it. To drive
hem out, they resort to all manner of
trangc devices. Tlic most efficacious,
/I tlin Ann noiinll?f i*ne/?ntnr] t a i j Vtocn/1

ipon the belief of the devil's fondness for
;old, and ' that money is the root of all
vil.' As soon as the body is placed by
he side of the grave the medicine man
>r saint exorcises the devil, and signiies
by signs that his satanic majesty
vith all his imps are in the grave below.
Hie nearest relative of the deceased, who
s prepared for the emergency, takes from
lis pocket a handful of small gold, silver
>r copper coins, according to his wealth,
vhicti he throws in the distance as far
is possible as if he was sowinggrain,
flic evil spirits arc believed to scramble
ifter it, and while nicking it up the
>ody is hustled into the ground as quicky
as possible, and the stones and earth
ire placed over it, before the clovenootod
money-hunters can return."

Wrenched mid Racked
3y the pangs of rheumatism, the joints cvcntmllj"
become grievously distorted, and somcimes
assume an almost grotesque deformity.
L'o prevent such results by a simple and ogreeible
means is certainly the part of wisdom. A
cndency to rheumatic ailments may be successfully
combatted with Ilostettcr's Stomach
liitters, a medicine with the prestige of a long
ind successful career, of unbounded popularity,
ind of emphatic professional indorsement. It
removes from the blood those inflammatory
impurities which pathologists assign as the
muse of rheumatism, and not only purifies the
life current, but enriches it, promoting vigor
jv lertilizing its source. Digestion, the actiou
si' the bowels and the secretion of the bile, aro.
tided by it, and it impels the kidneys and bludier
to a regular and active performance of
their functions: It is besides a thoroughly
reliable remedy lor, and means ol' preventing,
periodic fevers.
A Word tc the Corpulent.
Instead of regarding obesity as an abnormal
condition, many people have erroneously con
uucrea u as an evidence 01 ncnnn, uuu any
ugent that reduces fat is therefore at once suspected
of being injurious. Starting to reason
from the false posit ion that fat is an evidence
of health, it is not surprising that they should,
very naturally, fall into the error of supposing
that an agent possessing properties capable ol
reducing corpulency would prove injurious to
the health. Reasoning, however, lrom the
rational basis, that an undue deposition of fat,
constituting obesity, is not a healthy but a
morbid condition, it is quite e natural lor us
to arrive at the opposite cor?. usion, which is
sustained by experience and oscrvation, i. <?.,
that the reduction ol fat iu< < sea of corpulency
is invariably followed by 11 improvement ol
strength, spirits and physic..! comforts. Allan's
Anti-Fat will reduce a lat person from two to

It is astonishing with what rapidity ulcerous
sores and eruptive maladies are cured by
Henry's Carbolic Salve, an external antidote
to unhealthy conditions of the skin, which is
prelerred by physicians to every other preparation
containing the carbolic element. It is
undoubtedly the finest antisentic and purifier
extant. It nets like a charm on purulent eruptions,
and lias also been successfully used for
rheumatism and sore throat. All druggists
sell it.
Prices rf the Mason and Hamlin Organs arc
somewhat more than those of the poorest organs
made; but they arc not much more, while
the quality is vastly superior. This has been
so thoroughly proved by the results at all great
world's expositions for many years that it is no
longer a question. At the prices, they are the
cheapest organs offered.
