SPANISH PEASANTRY.
Characterised by Poverty and Appal
line Ignorance,,
In the Spanish lower classes yovl -will
And poverty and appalling Ignorance
a neglect of the Intelligence which la
positively nnlmnl yet nevertheless not
annllled with nn obvious cnpflclty of
education nnd Improvement, nn actual
and admirable pluck nnd cheerfulness,
a temper grateful, hospitable, nnd nf
fcetionnte, nnd a marvelous sobriety of
living.
There Is one especial word particu
larly appllcnblo to this gente bajn. It
Is the Spanish word anfrlda, which we
must render In n single English word
by pntlent; but It menus more thnn pa
tient; It means patient nnd unvlndlc
tlve under grievous Injury nnd wrong.
Such are the Spanish pensnntry 4he
cream of the Spanish people. Their
only province In relation to their gov
ernment Is to pay. They are a passive
vehicle for ministerial extortion. The
contrlbuclones nro nlrendy heavier
thnn they ran bear, nnd grow more
merciless as each successive adminis
tration plunges the country deeper and
deeper Into debt. In return for this
continuous disbursement they receive
nothing. Their lands are without a
road, their children without a school;
their navy Is furnished with ships con
tracted for nt double the price of ours,
whose only quality Is to go to the bot
tom without the shadow of a cause;
their army Is unpaid, unodlcered, nnd
undiilled, and absolutely Incompetent
4o engage with any European power.
The last Spanish census shows that of
a totnl population of is,ooo,ooo over 0
000,000 can neither read nor write,
while over hnlf hove no determined oc
cupation. This statement Is In ltsell
o damning that It appears hardly nec
essary to Inquire further. It simply
serves to show that firr the present
Spain Is a country of Europe, but not
of Europeans; that the Moor, nnd the
very worst nnd most savage part ol
lilm, Is still predominant In the despots,
who, by the sheer exercise of terror,
aided by a complaisant nnd feeble
monarchy, nn army, an armed police, a
suborned clergy, nnd a sulomed press,
abuse the holiest attributes of trust
and government and power. West

McClelland, on August 17, while pros- i
peetlng in the foothills eight or nine .
miles south of Globe and three nnd a i
hnlf miles to the left of the toll road, j
discovered nn old shaft, and near by on j
tho hill above the ruins of breastworks,
which had evidently been erected for
defense against Indians. The evidences :
of grent age observable In the decayed
shaft, almost filled with debris, nnd the
crumbling breastworks, excited the
party's curiosity, nnd they stopped to
Investigate. The old shaft was found
to hnve been sunk on a well-dellned
ledge, from which they took promising
specimens of ore which tested well In
copper and gold.
Owing to tho unsafe condition of the
old shaft, after having removed two or
three feet of the debris, they nbnn
doned It, and having made their loca
tions, they started a new Incline shaft
below the old works. From tho sur
face down they had a twelve to four
teen Inch strenk of sulphuret ore run
ning from 15 to nil per cent. In copper
and well In gold, one assay giving $42
per ton. The Incline Is now down fif
teen feet and the ore has widened to
threo feet.

about to supply tho deficiency, nl

says It was the hope of uncovering

plore a mound of stones lodged In a

feet of rock nnd lenves Goble struck Ms

socket of a human skull, which caused
him to momentarily shrink with horror,
but summoning up courage he proceed
ed with the work, nnd soon uncovered
a complete skeleton of a mnn. Near
tho right hnnd lay n dagger eaten with
rust, a large chunk of quartz seamed
with coarse gold, and a uandsomo
specimen of onyx. What was the fate
of tho human being whose bones hud
been thus rudely disturbed? Had ho
been murdered by the Implacable foe of

Apache, or had he peacefully laid down

when he qulotly took his seat at the
counter In the light lunch cafe neat
Tenth nnd Chestnut streets, on Satur
day night.
It seemed strange to the other cus
tomers ot the place that so religious n
mnn as he appeared to be should be
drinking black coffee at midnight, says
the Philadelphia Record. Black coffee
Is calculated to keep a man awake all
night. Perhaps, thought the others, he
has a long sermon to prepare for deliv
ery In the morning. There was anoth
er surprise for the patrons of the place
when the sober Individual placed a
cigar box on the counter beside him.
They wouldn't have been surprised If
It bad been a prayer book or a Bible,
but a box of cigars seemed much too
worldly. However, tho best of Chris
tians smoke sometimes. This Christian
quietly drank his cup of black coffee,
and after paying for It picked up his
cigar box and started for the door. Un
fortunately, however, he cnrrled tho
box with the bottom uppermost, nnd
tbo next Instant an astounding thing
happened.
The lid of the box swung open, and
about a half-peck of red, white, and
blue chips, together with several bunch
cs of aces, kings, queens, ten-spots and
the like were distributed all over the
floor. The clerlcnl-looklng gentleman
ejaculated "blankety blank blank" sev

near Bellefonte. They have Just heard
from their son Clarence, aged 22, who
started out months ago to look for work
and had not since been heard from, A
letter from him, dated Juneau, says he
is on his wny back from the Yukon
country with upwards of 120,000 In gold.
He writes that he worked his way to
that country as a deck hand on a
steamboat, endured great hardships,
and often went hungry. But with a
companion he at lost struck It rich.
His parents are very poor, their little
farm being mortgaged and the mother
an Invalid.
Secretary of Internal Affairs Latta
has directed Deputy Secretary Blown
not to enforce the land Hen law, passed
by the last legislature, providing for
the coll( tlon of unpaid r-ui chase m iney
on land bought from the state. The
secretary says the attempt to collect
has developed so many Instances of
real hardship that he thinks tho next
legislature will afford relief. The state
can lose nothing by the delay, as the
next legislature will doubtless repeal
the act.

reason Texti "Christ's Humility nnd Kg.
altnllon," rhll. II., 1-11 flnhlrn Textt
I'lill. II., B Commentary on the Les
son by tho Iter. Nr. I, M. Stearns.
1. "If there bo therefore any consolation
In Christ, If any comfort of love. If any fel
lowship of tho Spirit, if any bowels and
mercies." Consolation here Is literally
"one called to your side," nnd comfort Is
Vonespeiiklng beside you." Ho we might
read, "If there Is anything In Christ being
ever with you nnd over talking to you, and
In having ths constant companionship and
guidance ami teaching of the Holy Spirit,
If there l anything In the tenderness anil
comnnsslon of the Father manifested In the
Ron by the Spirit, then let It lie seen In you
to the glory of (lod that Christ may be
inagnllled."
a. "Fulfill ye my oy, that ye he like
minded, having the same love, being of one
accord, of one mind." Oneness of the
members of the body In the service of tin
hend Is something greatly desired by mil
blessed Lord, as Is very manifest in Hla
prayer In John xvll., nnd It will also be the
great desire of all who are fully one with
Him. Not only does He comfort us with
the assurance, "As the Father hnve loved
Me, so have I loved you," hut He nlsondds,
"This Is My commandment, that ve love
one another as I have loved you" (John
xv., fl, 121.
8. "Let nothing be dnnn through strife
or vain glory, but In lowliness of mind let
each esteem other better than themselves."
Another rending is. "In nothing follow sell
seeking." Jereinlnh said to his serlbn,
llarneh: "Meekest though great tilings for
thyself? Seek them not" (Jer. xvl 6).
Although tho whole land was Ahrnm'a
and not Lot's, vet rather thnn hnve strife
Ahrnin told Lot to take his choice and
go whither he would. When the Phllls.
tines strove for the wells .which Isano had
reopened, Isano did not resist, but kept on
yielding until there wn room for all and
tho strife ceased (den. xlll.. 8, l; xxvl., 221.
4. "Look not every mini on his own
things, but every man nlso on the things
tif others." Not enviously, as some would
pervert It, hut deslrlngthe welfare of others
as much us or more than your own. Love
seexetli not her own ( I Cor. xlll., fi). Let
Episcopalians seek and rejoice In the wel
rare of Methodists, mid so Methodists ol
baptists, baptists of l'rcHbvterinns. and sc
one, all uniting heartily to seek the honor
in ma nenu in the completion or Ills body,
the church, which has no name but Christ
1.1 Cor. xll., 12, 18).
o. "i,ot tins mind be In you, which wan
also In Christ Jesus." If any man have
not the Sidrlt of Christ, he la none of His
(Itoin. vlfl., II). Now, every penitent sin
ner who truly receives Christ receives also
the Spirit of Christ, but some are more
controlled by and manifest more of that
Spirit thnn others. It is the privilege of
very believer to he tilled with the Spirit
(Eph. v., 1H), nnd led by the Spirit and to
walk In tho Spirit, and when one Is only
willing to hnve no will but the will of Ooil,
no choice but (tod's choice, no way but
Clod's way, no service but what Ho ap
points, (lod will qulukly till that one with
Ills Spirit and continue to II II him day by
Jay and moment by moment.
0. "Who, being In the form of God,
thought It not robbery to be ununl with
(lod." Another rending Is, "Deemed not
his equality with (lod a thing to grasp at."
He wus not always saying: "I am Uod; I
created nil things; I own the universe; I do
as I please In heaven and on earth, nnd
therefore you must bow to Mo, and If you
don't I will make you, for I have all power."
Those who are always grasping at their
position as If they might lose it, or at least
ome of the honor belonging to it, nre very
mail people, or people of very small in bills,
Whatever their position may be.
7. "Hut made Himself of no reputation,
and took upon Him the form of a servant
and was made lu the llkeless of man," He
took not on Him the nature of angels,
which would hnve been a very greilt hu
miliation, but as the children are partakers
3t flesh nud blood, He also Himself likes.
wle took part of the same (Hub. Ii 14, 1A),
lie emptied Himself of the glory Which II')
hud with the Father before the world was,
nul consented to endure the limitations of
mortal body for over thirty-three years
not only so, but he consented to endure
uh limitation uuder the most limited of
earthly conditions, such us the manger at
lictlilehem, tho humble home and the car
penter's shop at Nazareth.
8. "And being found In fashion as a man
Ho humbled Himself and became obedient
unto death, even the death of the cross."
The Hon of Man came not to be ministered
uuto. but to minister nnd give His life a
runsom for many (Math. n 28), He
consented to be despised and slandered
and misunderstood, persecuted, blind
loldod, buffeted, spit upon, scourged, led as
s lamb to the slniiglitt-r, crucllled.
ti. "Wherefore also (toil lint la highly ex
alted Him aud given Him a name which Is
above every name." He Is now nt (lod's
right hand, with the Father on His throne
(llev. ill., 21), and in due time all kings
t-tiull fall down before Him and all nations
ervo Him (Pa. Ixxli., 11). By His work
and by that alone, which He has finished
without help from man, eternul life Is free
ly given to every one who receives Him,
and a share In His glorv and a place on Ills
throne (John xvll., 22; llev. 111., 21).
10. "That at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow of things In heaven, anil
things In earth, and things uuder the
earth." And so it shall aoinn to pass, for
Uod hna purposed it. "The Lord of Hosts
hath sworn, saying, Suraly as I have
thought, so shall It eome to pass, aud as I
have purposed, so shall It stand" (Iaa. xlv.,
24), Joiiu saw the cousuuunatlon of It lu
his vision when he heard every creature
which Is In heaven, and on the earth, and
uuder the earth, and such as are In the
sea, and all that are In them, saying,
"Blessing aud houor and glory and power
be unto Him that sittethupou the throne,
and unto the Lamb forever and ever"
(llev. v., 13), There Is none other name
uuder heavea glvea among men whereby
We may be saved.
11. "Ami that every tonguo should con
fess that Jesus Christ Is Lord, to the glory
of (tod the l'atlier." It shall surely be,
to the ever'nstlug comfort and bliss of
some mid to the everlasting woe of others.
Saved and unsaved shall all confess that
Jesus Christ Is Lord. The saved shall re
joice lu Hlin as their Lord, while the un
saved shall have to confess Hlin a Lord
to their everlasting confusion, but In vaun
God will be glorllled. See II Cor. II., IS,
16. A good test as to whether we are now
honoring Hlin as Lord Is seen lu verve 14
of ourliwsou ohapter. If by tbe Spirit we
hnve confessed Hlin as our Lord aud dally
do so, there can be In our lives no mur
niurlug or disputing, no strife or envy. He
Is not Lord ol these things, Lassos

Money Made by a Blacksmith.
Taconm once had a mint that coined
til the money In circulation where the
City of Destiny now stands, nnd It did
oot require the flat of Undo fin in, tbo
silver of Idaho or the gold of Cali
fornia to mnke the pieces from Tnco
tna's mint pnss current among the In
Hans and the few hardy pioneers Hint
were binning the path of civilization
through the forest on the shores of
Commencement hay.
Back In the early seventies, so soy
Ihe Tacoma Lender, the Tncoma Mall
Company, not being able to hnndlly se
cure gold and silver for use In trading
with and paying off the Indian In borers
ind early settlers, hit upon the novel
plan of Issuing their own currency, and
to this end set their blacksmith at
work to fashion for them out of scraps
f Iron and brass pieces of money, or.
rather, tokens, which could be used as
a circulating medium. Tho pieces con
sisted of 40 and 45 cent Iron tokens and
brass $1 pieces. The 40-ccnt pieces were
about tho slse of the present half dol
lar. The one-dollar pieces were oval
In shape, about an Inch and a quarter
long, an Inch wldo nnd a sixteenth of
an Inch In thickness. These pieces
were stamped with the figures show
ing their value, and readily pnsscd cur
rent all over the country tributary to
the mill. Nearly all this old "mill"
coin has paused away, but a few days
ago William Hanson, of the Tncoma
Mill Comimny, presented a set of these
queer coins to the Ferry MtiBcum. In
his letter ho snld:
"The honesty of the people nnd the
absence of any blacksmith shop save
that of the company made the use of
this money possible."
Oregon has long boasted of the "Hon

In the Northwest In the days of tho

druggist's and buy a bottle of Mrs. Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
It will build you up. You will begin to feel better with tho first bottle." She
