movements for time intermnabe, in the form of an.

these close chambers and count the hours until my feel

proves my appearance among the beau monde. And
then, how shall appear? Doubtless a Ia schoolgirl
who having but dress, was under the necessity of
remaining at home day out of each week, that her
mother might perform the ablutions requisite.
Persons are in way responsible for their organza
ton, and my nature is very modesty ITSELF Not day.
scarce hour, passes but my of decacy is by
some means, shocked. Why, only last week, that
scientific nuisance, Mr. Smith, (some call him inteec-

in making sculpture and stationery paror topic and
even alluded, pointedly, to Powers Greek Slave! Now
such absurdites should never be tolerated in refined
society," and, out of justice to my feelings frank
y told the gentleman that he would greatly obiige me
by changing the subject. OF course he smiled-vugar
people always wi-but my remarks evidently had the
desired effect as no reference was again made to the
subject.
And there is parson B; wonder whether he i'm

passages of Scripture, which, would think
of reading Fanny Ferns Invalid Wife!
Then, there is Mythology! Why does Pa insist that

as being very silly in me 70 resign all those euogies
and encoiiums Just for the sake of my feelings. to
which. by tie by, am very martyr at best. But,
OF Course Ma does not properly understand me and it
would be unreasonable to expect sympathy from mar

proofs; for whenever they here to tea, either

| The Nevada Democrat is an honest and honorable
paper-wLch take the greater pleasure in saying,
because its opinions the great topic of the present
time are atogether at variance with ours. OF the revo
luton the Democrat says:
| unfortunately. we think, majority of our Demo-
cratic friends have allowed themselves to be carried
away by the excitement of the hour while the other
hand many identified with other parties have calculated
the evils and consequences of disorder and have refused
to give their support to those who set the authorities
at defiance We do not believe that the Vigilance Com
mttee and it's objects political 1t has been defended
upon grounds higher than these and though cannot
assent to the correction which they apply to admitted
evils cannot bring ourselves to think they
ted by purposes so despicable."
THE Bulletin is after Scanned with tremendous fury
charging him. point blank with having kept gambling
hell called the "Osccola House," where unsuspecting
pigeons plucked. The Bulletin says Scanned had
to keep his old associates quiet by giving them
petty Office, and when he became little stubborn they
brought him to terms by saying "come, toll down
| David or We shall blow !"
If these charges untrue Scanned should prosecute
for libel and dsprove thcm if they true be should
not be permitted to disgrace the Office longer.
A SIGNIFICANT FAcr-'There is not one man of edu-
cation" says the State Journal one who has made
his mark great man, who is member of the Vigi-
lance Committee Every OF intelligence is friend
OF law and order Cannot the people foresee what must
happen? %
| No! They could not ioresee what happened in the
Journal Office last week The Journal has made its
mark at last, which must render it immensely popular
| about boarding schools and nurseries!
| CoMPLiMENrs-The editor OF the Louisville Demo-
cra Recently had pitcher presented him by his friends
Speaking of the fact the Journal 1.-The editor of
the Democrat is sometimes both pitcher and tumbler
| himself"
The Democrat says something about Prentice hav-
ing saved the Democrat Office from the flames on
Bloody Monday" Prentice replies: "If we saved
the Office of the Democrat. from the flames, we don't
think shall be able to the editor from that fate;
we shall have the devil himself, fighting against US
herewith all the advantages on his side!"
ALEXANDER BELL, one Of the State Prison Directors,
proposes to resign his Office leaving it sin the hands OF
men better schooled in vlainy than himself" There
are number of people down there with the requisite
e6ucation the appointment should be made before the
emigration goes too far, the Office may be incum
bered with an honest man.

among the settlers Of Sierra Valley "Alice" makes the
following beautiful and appropos quotation:
