The Alaska Commercial Company takes tho trouble to deny a rumor that it had instructed its agents at St. Michaels and the commanders of its vessels to bring stranded miners rand prospectors, who may find their way to St. Michaels, back to civiliza tion, as a matter of charity. Tbe company emphatically says that it has no intention of wasting any phil anthropy unon fool-hardy advent urers. No person who knows any thing of the methcd of these legalized pirates of Behriug sea, ever suspected them of knowing what philanthropy means. Its members are "out for the stuff," and don't care how they get it. Protected by the govern ment in the monopoly of killing seals, they refuse, and have refused for years to pay one cent on their contract with the government, while demanding a flotilla of warships to keep Canadians and others off the high seas. It would not be difficult to be lieve that this company would make & poor devil of a stow-away miner walk the plank to save the price of his feed if it were not afraid tbe criminal law might not be stretched far enough to protect them. They would use a stomach pump on a baby for half a gill of its mother's milk, if they could sell the milk, or dig up their grandmother's shin bones and sell them for shot-gun barrels, if they were straight enough. It is time, high time, that the gov ernment bring these pelagic plunder ers up to taw, and make them "knuckle down." Major A. D. Reynolds of Tennes see, by close application to business for thirty years, accumulated a for tune of $525,000. . lie also accumu lated old age, but he got his religion, which had bung fire during all these thirty yeais, in a lump sum. Then the major concluded that the busi ness he was following, that of manu facturing tobacco, was not in accord with the religious belief that he had accepted, and so the good major con cluded to retire from the sinful busi ness. It would seem but a natural sequence that he should have de stroyed the wicked plant, but he didn't, he sold it for $30,000. Sold it to another wicked and sinful mor tal who wanted to go plunging through a sinful career. The major of course was not his "brother's keeper." His own poor old withered and tobacco-soaked soul was all he could look after and more, and so the added $30,000, the price of bis salvation, to his-$525,000, the result of his sin, and goes prancing to his reward. Silver having struck the down grade. everything and everybody seems to delight in giving it a kick. Mexico still clings to it, but must perforce soon let go and go to the gold standard. It is at least proba ble that in the near future silver will no longer be classed as a presious metal, and even now it is approach ing the ratio of 1 to 16 as compared with copper. There is, indeed, noth ing to maintain it as a precious metal when it is demonetized by the world, i In tbe fine arts a limited quantity will be used, but even for purposes of plate and table service it will be no longer used when its cheapness makes it common. Crystal and porcelain are prettier and much better adapted to such uses. As a jnoney metal, except as subsidiary coins, its days are over, ana there seems to be no other purpose under the sun for which its properties qual ify it. The Cubans seem in a fair way of settine their independence without the aid of Uncle Sam. This is in deed gratifying to Cuban sympa thizers in this country, for we are well acquainted with Uncle Samuel, and know that if Cuba does not get her independence without his assist ance, she will never get it at all. He is a sympathetic old codger, the fountain of whose tears is ever ready to slop ever. He can weep over the misfortunes of the down-trodden, even though his own foot is upon them, and he can say, "It is really too bad, don't you know," while the moisture gathers behind his specs, until one would think the old hypo crite had some feeling in him. He may haye, but it is never expressed in a tangible shape. He is never sorry "a dollar's worth," not even if measured by a silver dollar. A rich strike is reported ironi Trinity county, California, that makes even the Klondike tales grow tame. The Graves brothers drove a tunnel twenty-five feet into an iron ledge, taking out considerable gold, but at that distance a pocket was struck from which $42,000 worth of gold was taken in four days, one piece being 3 feet long, 2 feet wide and 5 inches thick. Besides this, it is supposed there is another $100,000 worth of gold in the pocket, and the ledge itself will yield from $300 to $500 to t:ie ton. Captain Thomas, of the steamer Mexico, now sunk in 500 feet of water, was asked in Seattle if he could find the rock on which she struck, and this, too, in spite of the fact that he already had found it in the dark.

In 1862, when I served my country aa a private in Company A, 167th Penn sylvania Volunteers, I contracted chronic diarrhoea. It has given me great deal of trouble ever eince. I have tried a dozen different medicines and several prominent doctors without any permanent relief. Not long ago a triend sent me a sample bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and after that I bought and took a 50 cent bottle; and now I can say that I am entirely cared.
