Two mere gold minlnc eomnaniee are reported soon to organize by Montgomery parties in connection with Northern and Eastern syndicates.

Col. H. B. Shorter, of Dufaula, Capt Booker, of Perry county, and a Mr. i owler, ol Montgomery, own some very valuable gold property, on sections twenty andtwenty-two, near the mar Virginia mine, wnicn nas lately Deen examined uy Frof, Wentrock, a skilled German mining engineer and expert and pronounced by him as on ths same lead as the Mar Virginia mine.

This property will soon be developed, and a mill constructed on. same, rumor so states. CoL Shorter 'came in from the bills yesterday and expressed himself as highly delighted with what he had seen and learned of his propei ty.

One of the most wonderful stories we have ever read is below, taken from a recent isiue ot the Sheffield Daily Enterprise. The fifty-sixth annual report ot the Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School tor tne Blind, contains an intensely interesting ac count of the frreatlr afflicted, but marveloutiy intelligent little Helen Keller, the eight year old daughter or our mena ana neiguDor, Arthur H. Keller of Tuscambia. We were. early last summer, shown a letter, which this wonderful child, then nut seven years 01 age, and after lees than six months Instruction.

had without aid or suggestion, written to a relative. It was as astonishing produc tion; sentences properly constructed, ideas well expressed and the naod-writing Clear, bold and as easily to be read as print It seemed almost incredible of belief that a child who since the age of It months had been to tally deprived of com tne sense or sigm ana hearing, should have reached such a state of intellectual develonmeut What she had done would have been creditable to a child ot twice her years and rMs8ed of every faculty. 1 ne reoort will say of her: "Of the blind and deaf- mute children who are under instruction. Hellen Keller, of Tuscumbia, Alabama, is un doubtedly the most remarnaDie. 11 is no ny-narbole to sav that she is a thenomenon.

History presents no case like hers. In many respects, such tntallantnal alsrtneaa. keenness of observation, eagerness for information, and in brightness and vivacity of temperamentsbe Is unquestionably eijunl to Laura Bridgman; while in quickness of perception, grasp of ideas, breadth ot comprehension, insatiate thirst of knowledge, self-reliance aud sweetness ot disposition she certainly excels her Drototvne." Miss Sullivan, herself blind, a graduate ot the Perkins Institution, and who since last March has been a member ot Captain Keller family and Helen's instructress, in a brief ac count of the lire ana eancauon or ner cuarsi elves the followin? account of some of thi characteristics of this extraordinary child "Her sense of touch is so cute that a slight contact enables her to recognize her associate. She can even distinguish readily puppies of the si, me litter, and will spell tne name 01 eacn as soon as she touches him. So nice is her sense ot smeli that she will recognize different roses ny tneir fragrances; ana oy tne same sense she can set trate her own Clothes from those which belong to others.

Kqually fwrfect is nsr sense or taste." so nnicx is sue to grasp the thoughts and ideas that it is desired to ex press to her, that she seems to possess a power beyond ordiuary comprehension; ana as an illustration this instance is given: "She has uever been told anything about the death or the burial of the body, and yet on entering the cemetery for the hrst time In ner life, with her mother and myself to look at some dowers, she laid her band on our eyes and repeatedly spelled Her eyes actually filled with tears. Ths flowers did not seem to give her pleasure, and she was very quiet while we stayei tnere." "On one occasion while walking with me she seemed conscious of the presence of her brother, aithnuen we were distant from mm, She spelled his name repeatedly and started in the direction by which he was coming. When waiting or tiding she often gives the names of the people we meet almost as toon as we recognize their presence. Frequently when deslrious ot making suggestions to her, outside of the routine of her studies or her daily life, she will anticipate me, by speiling out the very plan I had in mind." Helen Keller, as the foregoing will show; presents an astonishing instance of meutal develcpmentland forms a most interesting study ot the wonderful power or tue human mind when concentrated and proiierly di rected. Helen will be eight years ot age on the 2.tn of June next she has Deen under ic struction lees than one year, and is now, hav ing mastered tne intermediate brauches or study, greatly interested and making rapid piogiess in geometry.

Suppose I spread these gold eagles underneath where coal nestles.

They may lie thereuntil the easrles fly away, but they wiu bring forth no coal. But it I put one hundred mtn to work there they will dig up this coal and put value to it Labor must protect labor. Capital can take care of itself only by 1 reasonable exeition of its powers. Ail wealth would be left undeveloped but for the sturdy blows of toil which unlocks ths bwdtn treasures and releases natural resources from (he earth. Labor includes three-fourths of the population of the globe.

Ii not only produces but consumes, and labor demands that the pTodcction shall be proportioned to the necessities of consumption. It is useless to produce what is not consulted. This leads to ver production. A man must either work, steal or beg. 1 have the confidence to say that the working-man prefers to work rather than to steal or If he shali elect to either to steal or beg, I prefer to 6ee nun a iDiei rauier mau jui-j.

Increase it to two dollars a day, and you quadruple that rcwer of consumption, making the man and his family more contented awl the country more prosperous.

I have sympathy for the man who earns only fifty cents a day. He who gets five dollars a day for bis labor don need sjm- larorersol this country sot 80 cents a do and them vases were raised twenty- five cents the who social fabric of the country would te raised with the wages. That would mean a raise of a year In this country. That would mean just that much added to the power of consumption of labor. Whitover labor earns gives labor power to consume.

Our statesmen at Washington are struggling with the question how to circulate See what- a tremendous impeais would be given to the development of Uie land if only twenty-tive cents a day should be added to the wages of the workinemen ail over it. It would mean put in circulation. I believe that oar statute laws shonld fix a minimum rate of wages to be paid for unskilled labor. Skilled ialw can take care of itself. If you want to raise a house you com-' mence work down among the sills and foundations, and when sou make a lift you raise the whole structure.

If i want to raise a fence I take the bottom rail, and when that is raised, ali the fence is lifted up. I plead tor the man at the bottom of the heap, because when we lift the foundations, she entire structure of our government and citizenship is elevated. I am here to talk plainly, and it i tied on tender toes vou must take it in the kind spirit in which it is given. Yon had a great change in the relations ot labor and capital in the 1 South. I believe the present system of slavery is worse tbxn the oil system was.

I mean this; Under the old system when a slave became too old and feeble to work he was given a cabin on the plantation where he could spend his cleeing days in peace. But whsn the slave ef to-day gets beyond the yeais of toil lis only heaven is a county poor House or some uuapiuii. luutumauu dont want the country to go back to the old system any more than you do, but we want to make some big improvement on the relations that now exist, and the present sys tem of slavery. ve want to go into tue mills of the North and the South and take the women and children np and place them where tney beicng. ism wouia leave vacancies to bs filled by tie tramps who are forced out upon your highways.

The women onght to be at home and the children at scLgcL I don't think the women and children should be the bread winners. I believe in protection to American labor, bnt not to American monopolies. Labor can protect itself when it thinks, because when labor beitine to think it tegins to act, and when it acts in a body something is going to drop, tireat applause. The labor problem is not to be 6ulved by the dynun te bomb, or the dagger, or the but by reason. The baihot is the protection ot liberty.

The KnighU ot Labor are not a political body, but we can exercise the privielg of the ballet. There is still one place where, at least once a jear, a man is the equal of every man, ami that is at the ballot box. The Knighta of Labor dos not believe in strikes but there are times when we have to strike. We don't believe in the boy-est, but there are times when we have to do it We want peace, and we want it bad enough to ii ptt or it if necessary. Loud applause.) Vie bate matmifk'ient resources.
