For nearly six months, says The Keto York
Commercial Advsrtleei\ the four coppcr bars
washed with bronzy which Capt. Benjamin
Richardson, Hit wealthy and eccentricIlarlcno
real cst:«le owner, brought triumphantly to the
United Slates essay ofllce uudcr tho impres-
sion that they were erold and worth about $10,-
000 each, and have been lying on top of the
big safe in the receiving room. They were of
no account as bullion and were obstacles In
tho olHcc and now thev are frone. Yesterday
the eccentric captain, who ever since has been
ashamed to acknowledge how he was Dwin-
dled, visited tho ofllco and took them away.
The story, which was published exclusively
in this newspaper, created eonsf icrnblo interest
at tlie time. Capt. Richardson recoiycd a call
In the earlv evening from two men, one of whom
was an Ind an, the other a pretended western
miner. Thev brought with them Ihe worthless
bars which they s;«i<i were rough gold obtained
by them from a mysterious western mine. The
rogues efltimateil the valu • of th<! metal to be
worth about $4 ,00'), but as thev were i^iorant
of the ways of tiie city they had brought thug,
they said, to the captain, to whom they had
been directed b.' an old friend of his, in
hopes tiiat he would buy the bars or at least
make a substantial advance lint 1 the bars
could he melted and valued nI. the assnv ofllce.
The captain in younger (lays had been a inner
in California and the western t rri orles, nod
believed himself something of a judge of tlie
precious metals. He took a good loo!< at the
xradul0r.it bnre, pronounced^hem genuine, and
advanced $1,000 to the two swindlers. On tho
following morning lie carried them to the as-
say office, deposited them in tiie u«ual way,
and took his departure. \ lie eliirlitest test
made by tho assayers at once developed the
fact that, the bars <11.1 not contain a cent's
worth of gold, and that the yel ow covering
was simply a bronzi wash. Captain Richard-
son onlv knew of the swindle that had been
perpetrateil on hi in as he read tin? story that
evening. He called at the assay office on tho
succeding morn;mr, vorilied the fuct that, lie
had been duped, and hurried off to find the
miner and the Indian. Itsit up to the present
moment they have escaped him and the ven-
treance that awaited them.
From that.day the bars have been waiting
for tlie owner to claim them, but the captain's
dread of ridicule has been so great that he
would not approach the ofllce where hi* worth-
less treasure* were stored and pointed out to
the visitor as one of the currfos ties of Ihe
place. Hut yesterday the white-haired ©Id
owner, after casting a furtive glance about
the | Iaee, lowct'ed his head ami walked into
tlie front entrance. lie made known tho fact
that he had come for h s coppcr bars, but
wanted to know if there was no: some way he
could 'jiet tfceni out so the reporters would not
seo him. Ho was told that he could drive
around to the allay in the rear and receive his
freight there. Gladly s v .i ing himself of tlie
chance, his Wonderful old one horse shay was
driven to the rear entrance of the office and
the four bars were loaded n.

o year have for generations turned out better

great educational establishments upon their

a sinalterlng of Greek obtained In twenty
years, and forgotten ill the tweuly-flrit, is,
after all,the form of inlellei'tual culture. The

numbered 124.00J,000. To alleviate the pre- ,

This certainly was the ease in the
early days of the republic; this was the
case, without qualification, until a ro-
coul date, so great was the nobility of
tlie laboring population, so high tlioir
intelligence, so frugal their habits, so
enterprising, alert and industrially am-
bitious was tiie rising generation, so
wide tiie margin of living afforded by
tlie favorable conditions of a new coun-
try, so relatively weak, then, was capi-
tal. If this lias now ceased to bo the
ease, it is not due mainly o ther to the
fuller settlement of the country or to
tiie large accumulation of capital dur-
ing the past twenty-iivo years, but to
the introduction of vast numbers of
persons not born on our soil or bred
under our laws, having lower standards
of work and lower social ambitions,
with less, at onco, of general iiitelll-
nence and of technical skill, often itn-
piovident and not infrequently intem-
perate in their habits, generally un-
trained in the responsibilities of civi-
life, and unaccustomed to tho commu-
nication of thought upon subjects of
general concern. Certainly, if the chil-
dren and grandchildren of our popula-
tion of thirty years ago were alone con-
cerned, it would still be true that the
working classes of this country had no
occusion to ask favors iu production
and trade, or seek to escape tho utmost
pressuro of industrial competition. Tiie
workmen of those days were abundant-
ly able to take care of tliomselves; and
the workmen of to-day would be not
less so, if they all came out of that pa-
t'ent, watchful, resolute sagacious,
self-mastered strain.
1 confess 1 have little respect for tho
objection which is often interposed lo
the use of the term "working-classes."
Every now aud then* some lawyer or
professor or editor informs the public
that he works twelve or fifteen hours a
day himself; that he is just as much a
working-man as any carpenter or cot-
ton-spinner; that we are all working-
men together; and that the use of this
term, in application to a section of the
community, is both etymologiealiy
wrong and economically misleading.
Indeed. I know one iiigiily intelligent
gentleman who sincerely believes that
tho correction of our popular speeoh in
this regard will nearly, if not quite, ro
move all our labor troubles and restore
industrial peace.
Now, *1 cannot take this view of the
expression in question. . . . Tbero
are a few familiar phrases w' oae pur-
port is not larger, or smaller, or in
some way different from tho logical
significance of tlie words composing
thorn, if brought together for tho first
time. Tho term working-classes is
sufficiently descript ve for tiie use to
which it is put in discussions regard-
ing the organization of industry and
the distributation of woalth. Thero
are large and important bodies of pro-
ducers who are clearly enough pointed
out thereby, and who well enough un-
derstand themselves to be meant. It
is not an offensive appellation, for it
is solf-impoiod. It is not an inexact ex-
pression, for no one not intended by it
would deem himself, or bo deemed by
others to be included.—Gen. Walker,
in Scribner's.

Translation from UhlantL
My love and I sat under
The group of lime trees yonder,
Together, hand in baud,
Not e'en a leaf Bttrred lightly—
The sun was shining brightly
O'er all the silent land.
We sat In joy unbroken,
No useless word was spoken,
Our hearts scarce beating more.
We spoke not, for why should we!
Mor questioned, for bow could we?
We knew enough before.
Wo had no Wish, no sorrow—
Nil yearning for the morrow,
No loved one fur away;
'Twlxt loving eyes a greeting,
'Twlxt loving lips a meeting,
Was all that passed that day.

while his figure is very spare, his face

God gave him beam with an unspeak-
able luster. "Ho looked mo straight
and steadily in the eyes as lie talked in
earnest gentle tones, and it was ions
after 1 left that tho brighter and ptirei
atmosphere wli ch ho diffused faded.
Naturally our talk ran upon English,
Irish, and American politics, and tc
somocxlent upon church matters.
The cardinal evinced accurate know-
ledo of Amer can affairs, lie admires
our form of government, but thinks its
administration could bo improved il
we had fewer elections and longer terms
of office. Ho takes much interest in
the proposition for tho assembling of 8
Catholic congees of English-speakinc
people, and said ho had just received
a loiter from B shop Ireland iu regard
to that mailer. 1 asked flic cardinal
about I ho progress of Catholicism in
England. Ho said it was most gnu ty-
ing1; that it was not so much in com-
parative point of numbers urn n mater-
ial progress and influence. The church
now stood on a happy basis in England,
aud was given as much consideration
by government and poople as any othet
denomination. The church of England
did not exeroise or attempt to exorcise
any direct influence on legislation or
politics, but of course its patronage
controlled voles. He showed me from
his window, a splendid silo, covering
four acres, which ho secured some t me
since for tho erection of a grand cathe-
dral in London. Ho said lie should not
at his advanced time of life, altempt tc
begin tho work of building this cathe-
dral; that was an undertaking for a
younger man. Speak ng of Ireland,
tho cardinal said that thero exists in
that oppressed island no such freedom
and liberty as n Great Britain. One
never knew there was any Itnv until he
ran against it. Scotland and England
wero complofly fusod in identity of in-
terest. Il was different with Ireland,
because of tho different treatment.
That unhappy island has been ruled by
England for more than throe centuries
by foreo alone. It was under Henry
VIII. that the policy was inaugraled
which had made and kept Ireland dis-
affected. Had it not been for this Ire-
land would have been as devoted and
as loyal to tho English eiown as Scot-
land. Ho was an Englishman to the
backbone, but ho knew and loved tho
Irish pooplo. A more true, a more
loyal, a more noble race never existed.
They could bo ruled with an uplifted
thumb when kindly and justly dealt
with, but lltey never would bow to
force and wrong. Ho hail o ten been
asked aboul Loycoltors and moonshin-
ers, and so on. Ho believed that injus-
tice always developed tlie worst pas-
sions of men, and boyeottors and moon-
shiners wero tho product of injustice.
Proper and just land laws ho Considered
to be the essential element for the tran-
quilizing of Ireland, and one feature
must be the re'juircinodi of absentee
landlords to return or part with their
estates. There were several big cor-
porations in London which owned vast
tracts of land in Ireland. This was
manifeslly wrong, and one of tho first
things to bo remedied was that these
lands should go into the possession of
tlioso whose labor gave them all the
value they posess. The cardinal said
he had never been much enamored
with the name of "Irish Parliament"
In his view the legislative body to bo
created for Ireland should not bo one
with the perogatives of a parliament
as commonly understood, but a cham-
ber which should havo tho control of
legislation affecting local matters only.,
I said to him I had found no sentiment
worth speaking of in London in favor
of Irish homo rule, and inquired what
he thought about tho prospects. He
replied that London was intensely ar-
istocratic, intensely wedded to custom,
aud therefore opposed to change. Ilut
it was not so iu tho provinces. The
served that at twine
there is an unusual quantity of
loose abont the premises, but further
titan the annoyance caused by this un
sightly sort of trash, they have neither
thought nor cared a great deal. They
are swept up with tho autumn leaves
and burned, and that is the end of it.
That this shedding of old feathers and
putting on of now has any disturbing
(fleet upon the constitutions of their
fowls, or that it in any way affects the
supply of winter eggs, they havo not
considered as cause and effect. Poultry
raisers, however, who have devoted
thought, observation and skill to the
purpose of obtaining from the business
all that may be in it, know that during
October and November, in this latitude
(heir fowls, especially hens, need more
at ten-lion than at any other time ; that
(lie ca.pacity of hens to supply winter
eggs 1 wgely depends upon the treatment
they receive during the month. Hens
should be treated well all tho time.
They can't be happy otherwise, and it is
the happy hen that lays the most eggs,
aud at tb>e best time. Well fed hens
moult bettetr aud do every other thing
belter than those that havo to scratch
and scramble- for a bare subsistence.
Therefore fei^d well in the fall, if you
would either eat or sell 50 cent eggs
Aud it might be added, feed well all the
timo if you would do the thing cxacrly
right. Sorghum seed is a better egg
food than was ever invented and adver-
tised by Stoddara, or any other man.
Nature knows her business, and invent-
ed corn, wheat, mi Uet, sorghum seed,
sunflower seed, bugs and worms for the
especial purposo of making hens lay,
and her efforts are a grand success
Tame hens lay better, sit better, hatch
better, aud are in every way more prof-
itable than those that are shy. Every
person who would get tiie very best out
of his fowls should so familiarize him-
self with them that he can handle them
at will. The same applies to all domes
tic animals, and by a slight license may
be translated into the Golden Rule.
The Weaker Sex

Do Not Think for a Moment
(hat catarrh will in time wear out. The theory
is false. Men try lo believe it because it
would be pleasant if true, but it is not, as all
know. Do not let an acute attack of cold in
the head remain unsubdued. It is liable to
develop into catarrh. You can rid yourself of
the told and avoid all chance of catarrh by
mini: Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. If already
afllicted, rid yourself of tills troublesome
disease speedily by the same means. At all
druggists.
If a man will take care of bis common

Advice to Constimptiv es.
On the atmearanee of the first symptoms—as
general debility, loss of app< tite, pallor,
chilly sensations, followed by n'glit sweats
and cough—prompt measures for relief should
betaken. Consumption is scrofulous disease
of the lungs; therefore use the great ant!

I suffered untold agony from chronic naeai
catarrh. My family physician guvo mo up as
incurable, and said 1 must die. My case was
such a bad one, that every day, towards sun-
set, my voice would become so hoarse I could
barely speak above a whisper. In ihe morning
my coughing and clearing of my throat would
almost strnnglo me. Ity tho uc.i of Br. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy, in three months, 1 was a well
man, Bad tho cure has been permanent."
