From a Salisbury Boy Who is Seeking a Fortune in the Far West. Couxcrr, VALLEY, Ip.. Dec. 3d, 1891. Eprror STAR: —Yours of the 16th ult, “is before me. Was much surprised and pleased to hear from yon—surprised at your ever having thought of one so re- mote from vour present situation, and pleased, as I always am, to receive even 4 line from one who lieads his welcome epistle * ‘Elk Lick.” What pleasant recollections come to me as I sit dreaming of the happy times we used to have gathering chestnuts from the surrounding hills, skating on old Flog Pond, raiding the outskirts of some un- suspecting sugar-maker’s camp, tying tin cans to the tail of some male bovine who . was unlucky enough to venture so far within the limits of tlie town, orof a thou- sand other acts wherein we found enjoy- ment. Those were indeed happy days, * but they are forever gone. Of that happy band of juveniles who “once played upon the same sward and sat together in the same school room are now to be found in most every quarter of ‘Uncle Sam's” domain. Even the writer Of this may be found more than two thousand miles nearer (7) the setting sun, in the land of the sage and the coyote, trying to tear a living from the surface of a quarter-section of Idaho's most raw and unimproved land. Don’t think that life here among the mountains, though ever so remote from the sound of the locomotive, is lacking in interest or amugement. Here is the home of one of the most interesting speci- mens of the Genus Homo—tlie prospector. He is eternally hunting for something he ‘can’t find. He i$ usually one who went to the ‘Golden state” in ’49 or the 50s, dug fortunes from the earth and squan- dered them, followed all the places of ex- _citement to the end and is now, like the Jew of mythology, wandering from the "Rockies to the Pacific and from the isth- mus ‘to the Arctic, in the vain hope of finding another California, ‘will see him at some supply station lay- : ¥ ing in a supply of the necessaries of life, tomorrow you may find him thirty or ‘more miles from a human habitation, in © the darkest recesses of the mountains, washing a pan of dirt by some sparkling “stream, or hammering away, like a lone- ly ‘woodpecker, upon the summit of a “quartz ledge. You will likely wonder how one lead- ing this peculiar life earns the *‘grub” he he does manage to pay his way, and he alwayvsbuys the best to be eats, Well, found in the market.

BEATTYS PIANOS AND ORGANS, Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, the great Organ and Piano manufacturer, is building and shipping more Organs and Pianos than ever. In 1870 Mr. Beatty left home a penniless plow-boy, and by his indomitable will he has worked his way up so as to sell so far, nearly 100,000 of Beatty’s Or- gans and Pianos since 1870. Nothing seems to dishearten him; obstacleslaid in his wav, that would have wrecked any ordinary man forever, he turns to an advertisement and comes out of it brighter than ever. . His instruments, as is well known, are very popular and are to be found in all parts of the world. We are informed that during the next ten years he intends to sell 200 000 more of his make. that means a business of $20,000,000 if we average them at $100 each. It is already the largest business of the kind in existence —Send to Daniel F'. Beatty, Washing- ton, New Jersey. for Catalogue. If vou want goods at reasonable prices, £o to the Racket store, tf.
