TWO GROUPS OF CLAIMS BONDED. NEW DENVER SURELY BECOMING THE CENTER FOR MINING MEN. It Has, However, tho Poorest Mail Facilities of Any Town in Canada It is, also. Without Ofllcials Before Whom Affidavits can be Made. Nicw Dkxviou, October 21st. Two big mining; deals have been made during tlie past week. Thu long rumored agreement about the Grady group has at last been- reached. Two claims ot the group, the Alpha and Black Bear, have been bonded to McNttught of Seattle for $70,000; $:*)()()0 cash, Jj?;*50()() in twenty days, and tlie rest on extended terms. J. A. Kinch came in this week and completed his arrangements for buying the Heed Sc Robertson group. He was accompanied by the famous Ctour d'Alene Monagban, who is to look after his interests during the winter. A curious discovery was made in connection with tlie' Roirl ic Robertson group. Finch had the ground surveyed before purchasing, and it was shown that the greater part of the showing and all tlie development work \"was on the Jenny Lind, a prior location by Paul Anderson. This reduced the expectations of the Reirl &. Robertson outfit considerably. The bond included a three- fourths interest in the Roicl & Kobertson and North Star and a three-eighths interest in tho Tenderfoot. The consideration was $17,000: 10 per cent cash and the balance in a year. The purchaser is allowed to ship ore. but must credit the vendors with the net value of die ore after deducting expenses of freight and treatment, but the cost oJ* mining is specially excluded. Mr. Kinch has also bought; the .Jenny Lind for $10,000 on the same terms. It is not expected that much development will be done on Kour Mile until next year. It is-urgent that a justice of the peace should be'appointed iii Xew Denver. The mining business transacted makes it extremely [nconvenient that_th^_'t'_-'4ioj!,U,11 ^Wro'biiTy one commissioner \"oJ\" oaths in the town, and that one the only lawyer, who cannot make depositions before himself. The mail service here is an outrageous scandal. One mail a week and that one erratic so far as its contenty are concerned. Tm_ TKJU.t\"Xio and.all Nelson mail-is gen-, orally ten or fourteen days behind date of posting. The government is spending a million dollars to give us railway connection andmake this the center of the Slocan district; but< the simple expedient of facilitating business by good postal arrangements is evidently too small for their minds. It does not involve the handling of such large sums of the people's money. A letter posted here for Kaslo or ���'Watson travels about 200 miles to reach its destination. A letter cannot be sent to Nelson and a reply received in less than ten days. The railroad line is now located or nearly so. It will pass about I HO feet up from the level of the water at New Denver. It cuts oil* a small corner of the Mc- Cillivray addition and runs through the center of PJashdall's and Bigelow's additions. Contractor McMartin will have men at work grading between-New Denver and Three Forks within a few days. Much dissatisfaction is felt because the government is so slow to fulfil its promise to ��� complete tlie wagon road from Three Forks. The work in the Carpenter creek canyon is very heavy, but once through that, there is no more difficulty. If this road is abandoned before it is completed the howl raised will be long and loud. Byron White is in New Denver figuring on sleighing down 500 tons of ore this winter. He does-not expect to ship any before the 1st of July, IS!M: but will store it at New Denver, where he is ready to let a contract for an ore house as soon as he lias fixed on the best locality. With the rest he is annoyed and his calculations upset by the doubt whether the wagon road will be completed. .\"I want to freight .\"500 tons of ore this winter,\" he says, \"but I will build- no roads to do so.\" The Miners Win. The miners in theCu'urd'Alene country, al'for a long and stubborn fight, have won what they contended for. that is, $'5.\")0 a day for all men employed underground, and all the minus working are paying that rate except, the Bunker Hill & Sullivan. Of the shut-down mines, the Gem started ii]) a week ago Monday, and now has nearly 100 -men on the pay-roll. The Krisco also resumed operations on Monday, and has now a full force employed. Preparatory work is being done on the Tiger before resuming with a full force. Tlie mine owners, however, are seeking to Aveed out the worthless men, and only men known to be good miners are employed. Had Better Get a Move on. Golden Kra, 21st: \"There was a short run made through the Thunder Hill concentrator last week, Mr. Hanson putting through a batch of ore from the new claim owned by the compiny. If .the directors are not pretty quick iu making some definite arrangements with their many creditors, we should not be surprised to hear that other and vevy hard steps were taken by tliein (the creditors.) Business is business and the men want tlieir money.\" John M. Burke After an Office. C(our d'Alene Miner, 21st: \"The United States marshals])jp is still worrying the Jdaho Democracy. Latest reports are to the effect that 'Si' Donnelly has been in conference with John M. Burke, with the result that the former has withdrawn from the race and the latter is now en route to Washington to receive the appointment for hiniself. Mr. Burke's strong pull lies in the fact that he was a delegate to tho national convention and aided in nominating Cleveland, and was defeated I'or governor of Idaho on the Democratic ticket. Besides he is a, Southerner, aud Southern Democrats are iu the saddle just now. Still, with all his prestige. John M. will doubtless be disappointed. His appointment would not be satisfactory to the people of the state, for laying aside other numerous objections, he is not a resident of tho state.\" A LOW-WAGE ARGUMENT. ORB SHIPMENTS. Eleven Mines in Slocan District Make Good Showings. That the Slocan country has not its equal as a producer of high-grade galena, ores must soon be admitted by even those who believe there is no merit in any mining district north of the international boundary line. There can be no better proof than ore-shipments, and the following table is compiled from data furnished the Kaslo-SIocan Kxaminer by Mr. Mcintosh, the customs officer at Kaslo: Wages, Like Everything Else, Must he Readjusted. Tin-' Tit I hunk has expressed itself as opposed to any reduction of wages in Kootenay, believing that $.'3.5()aday for miners and $8 a day for laborers was as low as good men should be expected to labor for, and as low as industrious men could work for in order to save up a competency for old age. But tho tendency is to reduce wages, as tlie following from the Kngineer- ing and Mining Journal of New Y'ork goes to show: \"At the present time the resumption of work at many of the silver producing mining camps in the Rocky Mountain region hinges on the acceptance by the miners of a rate of wages lower than that previously in force. At Lead ville, Aspen, Rico and other important mining centers where the decline in the market value of the white mete! lias been most seriously felt, an effort is being made to adjust the scale of wages in accordance with the present condition of the industry. That the miner should show some obstinacy in resisting a reduction of his daily wages is only natural. That the mine owner should refuse to work^'fiis'property for philanthropic purposes is eqiiii'.V,- intelligible: but botlyAhe one and -the other \\sm7.V.1.., and^vCe believe will, be able to meet the sU'i'uatioii in a fair and reasonable spirit. ������The adjustment- of minors\" wages will mark au important era in western mining. The question has arisen frequently of late years; it has caused much bitter feeling and produced serious hindrances to the successful operation of the mines. During tlie past few weeks the problem has again presented itself withan-arlded importance.- for it depends upon its proper solution whether many mines be reopened or remain shut down, whether many hundreds, of miners obtain employment or continue to be idle. The fall in silver has done what a general strike would have done, without, however, any of the bad feeling and bitterness inseparable from strikes. '���'All those engaged in the carrying on of the mining industry must recognize the obstinate logic of events. The railroads -have.-done so, and have lowered tlieir freight rates in order to compete with their rivals anrl in recognition of the development of the country: the smelters recognized the necessity of lowering their charges when the railroads increased the ore supply on the one hand and decreased the practical distance to the'refineries on the other.. Similarly tlie prices of merchandise, provisions, supplies of all kinds, have gone down. The miner alone demands the same wages as were paid in the days of big prices, high freight rates and heavy smelting charges. Indeed, it is safe to say that, as compared to ten years ago, Avhile the miner's pay has diminished but little, railway freight rates have.decreased by more than ono-half, smelting charges by nearly one-hall:', and tlie cost of living by one-third. '\"That the scale of wages is extravagant can readily be shown by comparison with other regions. Australia,' is in a position in many ways similar to the West, being a new country'sparsely populated, at a distance, from large, manufacturing centers, and handicapped by a high tariff. At the present time the average pay of the miner in that country is $2 per day, and yet it is a fact that iu spite of such a low \"rate of wages the Australian miner living at any of the older established mining towns of Victoria and New.South VVales enjoys more of the comforts and happiness of life than his brother at Butte City or Leadville. \"Why does the miner receiving $:{..���)() por day get less for it than his brother whose wages are $2 per day? Because the former is more extravtigaut and ��� in justice it must be added -he lias to meet the higher prices of storekeepers, etc. There is no doubt that this question must be carried beyond the miner, and that the storekeepers and others, who provide the toiler with both the necessaries and luxuries of his life, must he called upon to recognize the march of events and be compelled to do their business on a less speculative basis, and to lower their prices in ���accordance with the present condition of things. Others also must come into line. A little sacrifice hero and a little there, though each be small, will make a big sum total. The result will be to make not only tiie miner but the mine owner less extravagant, and to place tho mining industry on a basis of stability, which will be beneficial alike to the workman and the capitalist.\" Looking Around for a Place to Fight. The authorities of the state of New York have notified the Coney Island Athletic Club that the Corbett-Mitohell fight must not come off, and now the pugilists are in a quandary as to where they can light. Come west and have tlie light at Bonner's Kerry, the one place in the United States where the laws are not enforced. D.ito. Mine. Weiifhl,. Value. August t . . ..

The above goes to show that o72A tons wore shipped in about two months* time, and that the average value of the ore was $103 to the ton. The bulk of it went to Tacoma tind San Krancisco for treatment. The greater part of this ore was first packed from three to seven miles from the mines to the wagon road, then hauled from seventeen to twenty-live miles to the steamboat lauding at- Kaslo, the transportation charges from the mine to the smelter averaging about $-}:\") a ton.

Last Saturday's telegraphic advices from Washington are in effect that the Democratic steering committee iu the senate litis virtually completed its labors on ti compromise amendment to the Voorhees bill. The amendment extends the provisions of the present silver purchase act until October 1st, IH9-I, tind provides for the coinage of the silver now in tlie treasury and for tho retirement of all the pa-por currency, except silver certificates; below $10 denomination. There is no reference whatever in the bill to the bond question. Opinions differ as to the time when the bill shall be presenter! to tho senate. Jt may be handed in Tuesday or oven earlier if, it shall prove acceptable to'the majority. The bill also provides for tho eointtgo of all the silver (o be purchased in the future. Tho Republican si 1 vermeil arc displeased with the short time limit for the Sherman 'act to continue in force, and will oppose the bill solidly. The Populists are also displeased with the bill for the same reason. The bill will be presented as an amendment to the jiresent law. Under the provisions of the proposed compromise tho Sherman act expires by limitation on October 1st. ISO I. When the committee completed its sittings on Saturday thirty-seven Democratic seua.tors had pledged themselves to support the measure, anrl the managers felt assurance of a sufficient number to bring the total up to forty-one, leaving only one more necessary to insure passage of the bill by Democratic votes. The senators holding out against the bill are said to be Mills of Texas tind Vilas of Wisconsin of the repeal men and Irby of South Carolina of the silver side. Some repeal men have not actually attached their names to the pledge, but expect to secure tho names- of all the Democratic senators tind will rush the bill through as a party measure and without calling upon the .Republicans for help. Most of the Republicans hope tho Democrats will succeed in this, for the bill is one that does not commend itself to either the repeal or.silver factious in the Republican ranks. \"_.\\e repeal men arc pleased only with the c!ause-'uii;)Vl!isr silver purchase to a year, while the silvdr'-WA* find hi this reason hope for further extoV_'��'* of silver pur- that they have been beaten ou every point of sailing and in every kind of weather.

That they are not- in the hands of a strongcoiupnny is owing principally to the apparent greater inducements for the investor1 in the silver- lead belt bordering on Slocan lake. The ore runs all tlie way from IfjiS to $800 ti ton, and milling tests give it an a vertigo value of somehero near $11. Gold ore of that grade should bo profitable to work, i'or apart from the cost of mining the expenses of working should not be more than quadruple that at either Lead City or Juneau.

One of the .advantages which the silver men find in the'conimittoe'saniend meat of the original bill is that it gives them ground to stand on while the silver fight shall be waged in the'future.

A workman in Queensland, .who warns his brother workers in Kngland not to go out to Australia, says that the capita-lists, by inducing Chinese and Japanese and Kngiish men to emigrate, have overstocked the labor market, and .the effect is that men tire anxious to work lor their food alone. For this reward they are lucky if they get one month's employment out of every six. It is nothing for a man to tramp from 200 to (iOO miles in search of work.

Last summer when president Van Home of the Canadian Pacific.wasin these parts, he gave it out that his company might do some railway building in the near future at or near Nelson. Engineers were immediately ordered from Revelstoke to Nelson, and for two months thereafter they were engaged in running linos along tlie outlet between Nelson anrl Ivootenay lake. For a time this work was generally supposed to bo in connection with that'boing done farther east, on the road that is to be called the \"Crow's Nest Pass Short Line.\" It is now known that it was.dono for no othcrcpnrpose than to head off tlie Nelson & Fort Sheppard. in order to get a 2A por cent grade from the summit at Cottonwood Smith lake to the'river front at Nelson, tho Nelson Sc Fort Sheppard had to keep well up tho mountain side as far as Five-mile point, then turn and come back along the outlet five miles to Nelson. For three miles of this distance there is not room for two rights-of-way, anrl the first -company to get iu location stakes would, of course, have the prior right. Mr. Van Horno saw the opportunity, and seeing with him is acting.

Jn criticising the methods adopted by the provincial government in its town lot sales tit Xelson, Tin-: Timu'xi-: has won for itself the hostility of the speculators, who to a man argue that Tim-: Th-|'1'.vr i.s doing its best to depreciate the value of real estate in Nelson. Wo will endeavor to show that the speculators tire wrong in jumping at such ti conclusion. \"In tho summer of 1890 no lots suitable i'or residential purposes could be purchased, for the reason that none had been surveyed. Later on the survey of tho townsite wtis completed, anrl in October a sale of lots took place. Tho upset price was $100 with a $\")(.() building condition attached. At that sale 90-odd Jots were sold tit prices ranging from $101 to $200, the average price obtained being in the neighborhood of $1*35. On tho lots sold at that sale there have been erected -JO-orld buildings, of which the Phair hotel, the Stanley house, the Victoria hotel, the Teeumsoli house, tho Tolson building, the Selous block, anrl the Houston 6c Ink block tiro ti few. It is safe to say the lots solrl at that sale are assessed for $90,000, .'.'..or one-third of the total assessed value of Nelson. That stile wtis brought about, not by any desire of the government to allow the people to acquire homes, but at the urgent requests'of the business men ..'of the' town. | In tho spring of 1892 another sale of lots was had, but this time without building conditions. That stile was counted a success by the auctioneer who made it, and .fl.��.A..w.w. ���.-.-... _ ri-.^.jz-' A scheme wtis recently published in the London Times for', the consolidation and common working of till the coal interests of the L'nited Kingdom. Tho proposer tind originator of the project is sir George Elliott, who claims that tho object of the great change is in no way the creation of a monopoly for the benefit of the proprietors, but ti combination which shall be a, benefit, not only to mine owners,- lessees,\"workmen, and consumers, but to the nation tit large. Tlie present yearly output of the coal fields i.s 182,000,000 Lous, which, at au average selling price of 7 shillings and .i pence ti ton, represents a gross value to the eoaf owners anrl lessees of ��('5,975,000 por annum, ft is estimated that tho sum required to represent the whole capitalized interest of tho coal owners and lessees would be slightly under ��110,000,000, a figure that rloes not greatly exceed the share capital of one of Great Britain's railway companies. Reynolds's Newspaper, 1st: the last few days various coal owners, foreseeing the direction of working-class opinion, have been publishing their scheme of a great coal trust for the whole king tlom���a, gigantic monopoly in which tho men arc to share a certain percentage o profits with the masters. This wouk really mean a combination against the public, anrl the only word that could bo stiirl in its favor is that- it would prepare the way for the ultimate transference ofthe mines to tlie state. ���But what necessity is there for taking the coal and royalty owners into any such partnership? They are not wanted any more than tlie landlords are wanted. Any system which provides for the retention of tho owners is foredoomed to failure. Besides, who has ever hoard of the wolves and the lambs lying down together in mutual love and toleration ? Such tin association would speedily come to an end. for there would be soon no Jambs to carry on the i os troatof capital pun- good, and frantic i�� openly uttered.

Of the lots sold, some 40- odd in all, less than half a dozen have since been improved with buildings, and no one of them has changed ownership. The Triuuxi-:maintains that the prices realized at that sale by the government were far in excess of the value of tlie property, for if it had not been so, surely some of the lots would have changed ownership in the eighteen months that have since elapsed. In asking the government to make a sale of lots on building conditions, the citizens who urged the matter cannot truthfully be accused of desiring''the downfall of Nelson, for their every dollar is invested in the town. They argued that residential property wtis held too high, anrl that the only way people could be induced to make .'improvements ���wtis to allow them to get ground at ti reasonable price, anil that the government, not being a speculator, wtis tho proper party to take the initiative; that the making of improvements on govern men t lots would not only have the effect of enhancing the value of adjoining residential property, but would enhance the value of business property as well. if by favoring this course TiiioTuihuxi-: i.s ruining Nelson, it is strange that a similar course litis not ruined other towns in which it has been adopted. business. \"If the cotil strike litis no than to teach our working ^merfrnr.^ -1'i-\"'' mm, KKlt- IiOOOB-OTIVES.

BLACKMAILERS. of Strangre Tales From the Fashionable Life London and Paris. \"JI* tliey would only kill me, liko��� men, they would tit least let nie live as a man,\" said poor Alexander the Second to Loi-is Me I ik oil', speaking about tlie plots of. the Nihilists against his life: \"but by killing mo. with shadows they kill nie doubly, destroying my manhood before they take my lii'e.\" The words that .the unhappy czar used are much more expressive in 'Russian, but they tire rather too pungent in flavor to bear literal translation. It is that which does not take place but which is-apprehended, that kills a nian much more surely than the shock occasioned by an actual event. This tact has, indeed, become so well known and generally recognized, that it is (tis tlie police of every large center but too well know) one of the most formidable weapons used by the enemies of society, and one of tlie .most effective a-iid deadly. Blackmailing possesses this particularly interesting' characteristic which distinguishes it from other crimes, tliat although it is, when discovered tind convicted in its worst form, almost as severely punished as actual murder���penal servitude i'or life being the penalty here���it still flourishes apace; and that whereas the prospect of the scaffold may, check the would-be-assassin., nothing seems to 'daunt the blackmailer or induces him to abandon his perilous practices. Ctinler, the famous French policier, in his well- known book ol memoires, has a terrible tale to tell concerning chantage, or blackmailing, tind the evil, far from having been 'stamped out, or diminished even, has since his day rather gone on increasing, the greater diffusion of wealth affording the black-mailer a more extended field for his deadly'exploits.' Most persons who know Nice will have met there the jovial and adipose Due de Itivoli, descendant of the great Massena, tind formerly one of the boon companions of the Due de (j'raniniont Cndorousso; and, if they have met Rivoli, they will have met his wife, who was the adopted daughter of iMine. Heine-a Miss Furtado-and who married, en premiers noces, the late Due (I'l.lchiiigen, ti -gallant and distinguished soldier and the head of the illustrious house of N.ey, This unhappy man perished by his own hand, goaded to death by miscreants, who, having discovered ti secret iu his past life, used their knowledge to extort money from tlieir victim, until drained dry, as it were, and, doubtless despising himself for his cowardice iu having been terrorized by these birds of prey, he went to a i>ri- vate pistol gallery, in which he used to practice, and blew his -brains out. This tragedy caused an inimen.se sensation in Paris^at the time, and for many days the Parisian press was overflowing with the exploits of those who levy blackmail: but even the flights of fancy of the absinthe- inspired penny-a-liners failed todo justice to the subject, or to reach up to the lull horror of the actual situation and state of things in Paris as regards chantage. Ctinler speaks in bits day of many persons well known in the worl'd of pleasure who lived entirely by levying blackmail; but the number has greatly increased since his time. People point you out tit the Hois de Boulogne any afternoon ti dozen or more men and women who live in ease iind even .splendor, and whose means of existence are entirely derived from black mailing���notably that dreadful couple known sis ������Lo Poux\" und \"L'Araignee.\" who are as famous for their splendid horses and diamonds as for their villainies. The fortunes amassed by levying black mail are. indeed, sometimes prodigious, tind a curious instance of this occurred about live years ago in the I'Yonch capitol. A young and fashionable, but impecunious, Scotch nobleman, who had squandered the largo sums ho had made by his abnormally good luck on the turf, sought to.repair his broken fortunes by forming ti matrimonial a Ilia nee with an heiress, and i'or this purpose put himself into the hands of a lady who is well known in Paris tis a marriage broker, tind who by no means loses tiny part of hor groat-social prestige by the fact being thoroughly well understood that she marries off her friends for ti commission���tit so much a head, as it wore. The young Scotch peer, having told this lady what he was in search of, the c|iiestion of'commission having been decided oir and agreed to, the desired heiress wtis sought for tind found in the person of a very pretty girl of eighteen, who was being very strictly brought up at the convent tit Nantes, the 'lady superior of which institution having, of course, to bo allowed \"to stand in,\" the girl being an orphan, and the head of tho convent exercising great influence over her. That the dowry was very considerable was beyond cptostion, and- that the young lady- herself was most charming was' another agreeable fact', so that no'questions were asked at first tis to the source of the girl's fortune;'but at last, a very shocking discovery was made, which at once putastop to the projected union, for it transpired that the girl's father, long since dead, had been sentenced to 'penal' servitude for life for blackmailing,'and that it was by this villainous means that he had amassed the many shekels which went-to the forming of his daughter's dowry. . But if blac.cmailing is very prevalent in Paris, the condition of affairs i.s still worse in London in that respect, and i'or the very obvious reason that, while people here are not really one whit more moral than the French, they are most anxious to be considered so. t In France, neither men nor women can- very much for appearances, and so those who would levy blackmail must really discover something very heinous in the private life of their intended victim before they can hope to bleed him successfully, whereas in this pious and virtuous country'of Pecksniff oven the discovery of a .mere peccadillo can, if carefully handled by the blackmailer, be used as a means of extorting money. Some years 'ago a clergyman���a married man,'a popular preacher, and a man of good repute��� Wiis convicted tmd .sentenced to a very long term of imprisonment for having been in the habit, during the past many years, of blackmailing ti married lady, concerning whose maiden life he had discovered a fact which, if she had only had thii courage to confess t;o her husband, would tit once have mot with forgiveness. This, of course, till came out in the papers. But passing to facts which are more or loss generally well known in society, but which have never been inside public, we shtill see that the game of chantage i.s even better understood iu Kngland than in Franco. A lew seasons back a youth, well known in soeiety, who had boon carrying on an intrigue with a married woman, whom it will be as well to designate simply as Lady X. lost a large sum of money at cards. He had not the wherewithal to moot this debt, and he was well aware that in the event of his not being able to \"weigh in,\" he would have to remove hi.s name from his club to avoid expulsion. While in a state of perplexity, arising from this stroke of ill-luck, the youth received in his rooms a visit from a well-known London dressmaker, who made liim the following proposition: \" You,\" she said, \"have, 1 know, ti groat many compromising letters from Lady X, if you have not destroyed them. S'ow, these letters cannot be of any value to you, for you cannot use them yourself. (Jive thoni to nie tmd I will pay your gambling debt, aud, moreover, will give you ti trifle over for current expenses. What I shall do with the letters need nol, concern you: but this much I will promise you, tind that is that nobody shtill know that you have sold thoni to mo, for 1 shall say that you were robbed by your valet, who brought the billets-doux to nie. Is it a bargain?\" The poor cur lent himself to this in famous compact and got his money, the woman taking the compromising documents away with her. Then began two months of torture for Lady X, who bought back the letters one by one by borrowing money and pa wning her jewels, until at length, in despair, she told all to her father, \"who i.s one of the most popular sporting noblemen in Kiigland, and he completed the purchase of the letters, which cost in all over ten thousand jiounds���an expensive correspondence. There is a man to beacon every morning during tho season in the How, mounted on tho smartest of nags, whose life would certainly be in danger were he to be met by one of his numerous victims in a desert pince apart, for he has blackmailed���and still does blackmail���throe of the best known and most popular men in society, lie is ti man of good birth himself, and was educated tit Kton. He hold a commission in ti cavalry regiment, and belongs to one of the best army clubs, to which ho was elected, thanks to the exertions of one of his victims, avIio dared refuse him nothing. This man has had very largo sums of money from a popular sportsman and linancial magnate, and was mixed up in a terrible .scandal which occurred some lew years back and resulted in the death of a high court functionary and of an equerry of a royal highness. This villain's victims are in such deadly terror of him that they dare not denounce him, and it is probable that nothing but a dose of cold lead or stool will put a stop to his persecutions. A man in this fellow's employ���for ho litis his agents iand spies���was sentenced to penal servitude for life at tho Old Bailey some ten years back for attempting to blackmail a youthful member of parliament. Tho agent was not so clever as the employer, and did the thing clumsily, with tlie result that the inatter was placed in the hands of outmost famous 'criminal solicitor, and .the 'heavy sentence just referred to put a period to the scoundrel's career of crime. There tiro charges so 'terrible and foul that, al though they may easily be disproved,.'.still they leave some stain on the character of tlie person against whom they have been falsely made, and it is the knowledge of this fact that inspires the blackmailers with almost incredible audacity.' Tho late sir Richard Mayne was asked, once what ��� course was best to adopt in eases of.blackmailing, and he said: \"If it's a man, strike him with anything'you have in your hand, and give him a very serious chastising. Such people are all cowards physically, and the thing they fear most of all is personal violence. This remedy is the best and is easily applied, ���for, of course, a, clever blackmailer will not be so rash as to put- his threats or\" proposals on -paper,\"so that when he opens the matter to you viva voce, you can then give him the required thrashing.\" Sir Richard, was'doubtless right; and were his advice more often followed, there can be little doubt that three or four faces well known in the park and at the theaters would suddenly become sable- eyed. Sorry He Fooled His Wife. -Many Toroiitonians have noticed of late that,a prominent business nian who was absent from his store for two or tliree weeks '\"owing to illness,\" lias since walked ii little lame. More than one person litis asked George what caused his lameness, without eliciting the facts. The cat leaked out of the bttg the other day, however. About ii mouth ago the businessman's wife got the idea, that she ought to have a revolver in the house. The husband protested in vain. She was dead set on having one tind she got it. The following night, after teasing his wife about having somelhing.thiit she would never use if it went required, he left the house saying he would return in a few hours. Shortly after the door (dosed behind him his wife was attracted by the sound of footsteps up stairs. Her first impulse was to. scream. Her second to run next door and ask assistance. Then she thought of the revolver, and of her husband's laughing taunts that she was afraid to handle it. Going- to the drawer she secured it, tis the sound of tho stealthy footsteps were close to the top landing of the stairs. Flinging open the parlor door, she peered into tlie darkness and in a trembling voice demanded to know who was there. She fancied she heard a low laugh and then saw the dim outline of a man starting to descend. \"Stay back or I will shoot,\" she said, as she pointed in the direction of the figure. Then; was one more step, a report, find the man fell down stairs with tt thundering crash, and lay unconscious almost tit her foot. One look showed him to be her husband. Then there wtis a piercing seroiini and when .some neighbors forced their way in the two were lying senseless in ii pool of blood. The husband has just recovered, but will be lame for life.'and it is safe to say that he will never try to frighten his wife again. Good Aim to Begin With, and Afterward Luck Had Something to Do With It. A group of'iuen wore sitting on the hotel porch \"swapping\" yarns. \"Some people do not believe in luck ; well. I do, and 1*11 toll you why.\" said the traveler, as he paused and deliberately put his right leg across the knee of his loft tind glanced pensively down the street. The group pricked up their oars, for tho traveler was a famous story-teller, and all rightly judged that his remark was but the prelude of the recital of one of his adventures. \" When I wassome fifteen years younger than I tun now.\" continued the traveler, \"I wtis exceedingly fond of hunting. One fall my love of this sport led me to tiik on. hunting trip in the Kooky.JMotiutniiis. 1 was ambitious aud wanted to add a grizzly bear skin and ti few elk heads to my collection of trophies, and incideiitly, if it might be, to lot daylight through tin Indian or two. \"Well, for two weeks I hunted without getting sight of hair or track of elk, boar, or Indians, and the thing was beginning to got monotonous, when one afternoon found mo traversing the bottom of a deep canyon. I was alone, my guide having remained in camp on account of a sprained tinkle. The bed of the canyon was rent with deep fissures and covered with great rocks, and its sides wore seamed and cracked. A few stunted shrubs tind trees of the kind the elk is fond of feeding upon grew along the sides tind bottom of the eanyon, and f hoped to find some of the animals -here cropping the tender twigs. At last, just as 1 rounded a. high point of rocks, I caught sight of an elk, a noble fellow, standing some ten rods up the canyon with his face toward nie. Ho was nosing tho air suspiciously, and feared I would not get a shot at him at all unless 1 wtis quick about it. Accordingly, 1 threw my rifle to my shoulder, tind: taking hasty aim tit tho broad, flat forehead, fired. \" I was totally unprepared for the startling effect of that shot. Almost tit the in- sttmt my finger pressed the trigger there came a puff of wiiito smoke from behind a ruck some twenty yards up ou the opposite side of the canyon, tind I saw tin Indian leap to his feet, only to fall back dead, while at the stiino moment a piercing scream,- seemingly coming from directly over my head, caused nie to look quickly up. In the mid air, with groat paws outstretched iind long, sharp nails extended. 1 beheld a mountain lion apparently about to drop on -'my head. I hounded to one side. As 1 did so my blood almost froze with horror, for I had jumped directly over a rattlesnake, which now lay not two feet from mo, with his head reared ready to strike. \"fiefore I could make a movement to defend myself from this newdtingor down upon the snake fell the body of the lion, crushing out its life. The lion rolled over once or twice and then, to my surprise, lay still. I had not had. time-to recover from the terror and astonishment 'caused by these startling incidents, when my cars 'were greeted with\" a, 'terrific bellowing, and. looking up the canyon, 1 saw the elk charging down upon'me.' I whirled about, intending to seek safety in flight, when, to my utter confusion, -not a dozen feet away and directly iu the path 1 must pursue if I continued my flight, a monster grizzly 'bear retired hiniself up on Ids hind legs, tind with wide-open . mouth ruslied for 'nie. I was in an awful situation.- I could see no possible way of escaping. On the right hand wtis the perpoi'.dicular Willi of the canyon, iind on the left a deep chasm. Before was the grizzly bear, and behind the rushing elk. -\"Death faced me whatever.way I turned. I trust I may never feel the horror of\" that moment again. The grizzly -'bear sprang forward to seize and crush oul my life with his strong arms..and the elk gave tt mighty bound, his huge horns lowered ready''to transfix my body. \"At that moment 'my heart seemed to sink into my boots, iind I fell fiat upon the ground. Witli a crash like that of the collision of two locomotives, the animals met over my prostrate form. The terrible momentum of the elk bore himself and the bear over- iny .body. For .about five seconds there wasa tremendous struggle, from then both, beasts fell, locked together, to the ground, and 'i'n a moment more had expired. One of the sharp prongs of the horns of -the elk hud pierced the heart of tho grizzly, and the. elk's neck had boon broken by the hoar in his death struggle. I''bounded to my foot, not knowing whether to run or to stand still, so sudden, so terrible, tind so many had been the dangers which had threatened' me. lint everything wtis quiet and till iiiy'focs were dead. \"On investigation I found that my rifle ball had struck the elk at the basy of tin; horns, where the bone'is thick and hard, and after partially stunning him. hud glanced diagonally across the canyon and pierced the brain of lhe Indian, who. concealed behind a rock, wtis about to fire upon me. The shuck ofthe ball had been sufficient to deflect the aim ol\" the Indian enough to cause him to miss mo ,-uid to pierce the heart of the mountain lion just- tit the moment hi'spiting upon nie from a cleft in the rocks above my head. Tin.' lion landed upon the rattlesnake tind crushed the life out of him before he had had time to strike, and the elk and tin boar in their eagerness to kill nie had destroyed each other. \"I call that a. lucky shot, til least I'or me, because it, saved my life five times, anrl was the death of an .Indian, a grizzly boar, tin elk, a rattlesnake, and a mountain lion.'\" And the traveler deliberately the right leg from the knot; of and glanced upward wilh the man who is confident that he is ;i of Providence!, by the experience and example of others. Asa single but very telling proof of,.the importance of the lack of thoroughness in business, the following anecdote is given : A letter carrier in one of our large cities found, on returning to the postoffice from one of his long rounds of delivery that a letter in hi.s bag had been overlooked. Jt was an ordinary, unimportant looking missive, tind he kept it over for the first round next day. The consequence ��� wtis that a great firm failed of a notification, their notes went to protest, their mill was closed and one hundred of their operatives were thrown out of employment. , The letter carrier was discharged tind hi.s family suffered for the necessities of life during a severe winter. All this went to show the import ti nee of the thoroughness in the business undertaken to be done. In this case, many innocent persons wore made to suffer by the neglect of the carrier to attend to his business tis it should be. It is not always a.s disastrous to others to neglect business, but the example is ti good one tind should be heeded. Never allow outside consideration or personal pleasures to come between you tind your business engagements. Not only does your honor tind standing depend upon it but your success is at stake. The most successful men tiro those who are the most thorough, prompt in meeting all their engagements, never resting so long as there is work to be doiio, having tis their maxim, business first and pleasure afterwards. The time to cultivate htibitsof thoroughness,-industry tind attention to business, is while you tire young. Then as you grow tip they come tis second nature tmd will be practised not tis a inatter of necessity, but tis tt matter of course, and will not require to be learned from sad, costly experience.
