The loving devotion of a mother to her child is almost as enduring as the iieavens above and is not to be com bed with early things, says tlie fori W orth Gazette. This fact hits many times been exemplified, and the ex treme hardships undergone by Sirs aney Sixkiller, mother of the two Huunawas boys who were hanged at this plneejwas only another substantia ting instance of this assertion. After learning that the principal chief had refused to pardon her boys or com mute the (ieith sentence the old lady was wild with grief and determined to go to the chief in person and make a last appeal to him for their lives. The distance from Mrs. Sixkillers home m Going Snake district to Chief JJaye's residence on Grand river is not less than ninety miles. Although an aged and feeble woman of seventy years she made this long journey afoot and alone. And all In vain! Her pleadings with the stern old chief came, to naught, and the heart broken mother was back at this place the day before the hanging so that she might be with her doomed boys during their last hours on earth. When she left her homo Mrs. Six killer had on an old pair of shoes, but when she arrived in Tallequah her feet were bare, torn and bL'eding, and she was in an utterly exhausted condition caused by her grief, hunger and fatigue. She had waded creeks and climbed mountains until her shoes were com pletely worn from tier feet. A Iay On. Mrs. Out of-Town (to her neighbor) Such trouble as I've had today!

This is a valuable Fruit Grower, the seed of which were procured from Samoa, ltoth the tubers of the vine and the squash like fruits are eaten. The fruit is said to resemble tho chest cut In llavor, and will under favorable conditions weigh some three pounds. The tubers, which are somewhat simi lar in flavor to the yam, sometimes weigh as much as twenty pounds. One of Its peculiarities is tho sprouting of tlie seeds in the blossom end while the fruit still hangs upon the vine. The plants under favorable conditions fruit in about three months. They do not seem to be very particular as to soil or locality. Just about what amount of cold they will stand has not as yet been determined. A Nejrro Worn ih'h Invention. F.llen F.lgin of New York, a member of the Woman's National Industrial league, invented a clothes-wringer. She Bold the invention to an agent for 618 in 1889. When asked by the writer why she sold the invention so cheap, she replied: "You know I am black and if it was known that a negro wo man patented the invention white ladles would not buy the wringer. 1 was afraid to be known localise of my color in having it introduced in the market; that is the only reason, I am working on another invention and have money to push it after the patent is is sued to me, and the invention will be known as a black woman's, too."

The action of tho postmaster of El Paso in refusing to allow the Kl . nso 77mm to be transmitted through tho mail simply because it contained as news an associated 1 ress dispatch giv ing a synopsis of the opinion of the u preme i ourt of Louisiana compelling the, .Secretary of State to submit at the the next election a constitutional amendment passed bv the last general assembly extending tlie charter of the Louisiana Mate Lottery twenty-five vears. is deserving of the severest con demnation and censure, not only be cause of the injustice officii an arbi trary proceeding, but upon grounds of public policy. The business manager of the J7me very properly had this postmaster who bears the historic name of Smith, arrested for unlawfully detaining mail matter, and he was bound over to appear before a commis sioner foi trial, but the punishment whatever it ill be, oven if ever meted out after many months of delay, will not lit tho crime. Nothing short of ab solute and inimediale official decapita tion, with whatever other punishment the law provides, would be proper for such officious intermeddling with the mails. If the United States mail is to be subjected to such scrutiny and ex clusion by the postmaster at El 1'aso, the postmasters at tho crossroads in the M.ito and throughout the United States have the same right, power and authority, and are of course at liberty to do just as tho postmaster at I-1 l'aso has done. If the postmaster can stop the transmission of a newspaper be cause it has in it the decision of a court in regard to the Louisiana lottery, he can also stop it because it mentions the name of tho lottery in it, and if he can do this he can stop tho rost, because it incidentally mentions the name of the Louisiana Lottery Comyany in cnlicls ing his oflicial cortduct. If lie can do this, however, he can override tho strongest bulwark of the liberties of the people and violate one of the plain est provisions in tho constitution (if the United States, thereby completely throt tling the press Tpon grounds of public policy the United States Government should not tolerate such tampering with the mail, lt throws oen the doors to fraud and, if permitted, will tend to make the service inenlcient and unreliable.

If the publisher has committed any wrong lie can be held responsible and be made to suffer the penalty; but a postmaster may detain an entire edi tion of a newspaper, entailing a heavy loss upon tlie publisher, and yet when the matter comes to a final trial the court may decide that the patters are mailable. The damage has then been done the publisher, and there seems to be no adequate remedy for him. Bun pose the politics of a newspaper are ob jectionable to the postmasters generally and throughout the state thev choose to hold a paper because in their opinion It is not mailable, it would thus p(it it within the power of the postal depart ment to stop the circulation of a news paper and bankrupt it, leaving the pub lisher with a lot ofsuita against post matters as assets. Such a State of af fairs leaves newspaper publishers with out adequatejreiuedy, and to allow such arbitrary conduct on the part or offi cious postmasters Is contrary to the In stitutions of this government, and a vi olation of the legal maxim that each wrong has Its adequate ramedy-Hous; &n(fex.)'fMayl A iil.iul .Judgment.

It isn't often that the progress of a play is delayed by a whistle. This oc cii red one night at Heuk's opera house, lietween acts the orchestra played a i election that gave the flute and piccolo a chance to distinguish themselves at the finale. The boy's in the packed gallery took up the refrain, and the big theatre w as filled with the music they put into the air from their pursed lips. The curtain bell rang, but the boys stormed noisily for an encore. The orchestra attempted to take up the music cue for the rising of the cur tain, but the whistlers in the gallery would not have it. The leader was obstinate. The picolo and the flute were brought out again, and the selec tion played once more. The gallery boys w histled the refrain with enthusi asm, and when the curtain- bell rang again little Miss Leslie, The Prince, had an opportunity to whistle herself. Cincinnati Commeieial Gazette.

The celebrated Pilot Knob mines have been worked since l&iG, and dur ing the years intervening at the pres ent time have produced an almost fabulous amount of ore, says the St Louis ltepubbcj. The miners reached their zeiiitn in l'JHi, when they -pro duced 200,000 tons. This output was continued for about three years, when it began rapidly falling off, and two years ago the Vulcan works, whose capacity is 15,000 tons per month, were closed lor want of sufficient ore. The company continued to prospect, how ever, feeling confident that would soon strike anotlier paying vein, and as at a last resort the company sunk another shaft 110 feet deep, the expense of which wiks enormous. This failed also and the conclusion was forced upon the company that the "mountain of iron" was exhausted. Prospecting was continued, however, but very quietly until a vein, was struck nearer the sur face. This vein was nothing like the original vein, however, the output be ing orly seven cars daily. The mines were quietly stripped of all the machin ery, and scarcely any of it is to be found there at this time. The furnaces and forges were built in 1847 by the Pilot Knob Iron com pany, and in ISM were acquired by Choteau, Harrison & Valle. lief ore the Iron Mountain railroad was com pleted to this point the output bad to be carried over the Ozark mountains to frt. (ienevieve, Mo. It finally came into possession of the at. Louis Ore and Steel company. - 'J he location of the mine is historic ally interesting, as it was one of the worst nests of bushwhackers develop ed by the war. It was at Pilot Knob that Ulysses 8. Grant received his com mission as general, lt was at Pilot Knob that the United States head quarters for the southeast were estab lished. It was at Pilot Knob that Gen- Hardee surrendered in 1861, and it was this same spot that the celebrated bat tle of Pilot Knob was fought in Sep tember of 1801. And now, like the tales of the war, the erstwhile famous "Pilot Knob mine, ' the supposed Gol conda, is a thing of the past, a shatter ed stronghold.
