SCHOOL FUND.-The Union publishes
the apportionment of the State School
Fund made by the State Board of Edu-
cation, consisting of the Governor, Sur
veyor General and Sup't of Public In
struction. From the report of the Board
we learn that the semi-annual amount
belonging to Nevada county is but S66S
~, or that the entire sum derived from
the State by the county s1,337.44.
At the last election Nevada cast a
vote exceeded by only two counties in
the State. In the apportionment of the
School Fund she comes in the seven
teenth in the list of counties, being ex-
ceeded in the number of her children,
according to the census, by Alameda,
Amador, Contra Costa, Ell Dorado, Los
Angeles, Monterey, Sacramento, San
Bernadino, San Francisco, San Joaquin,
Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma, Santa
Barbara, Tuolumne and Yuba.
The average amount per scholar re-
ceived from the State, is s2Os per an
mum.
We are inclined to think the census
of children in this county has been in
correctly taken.

are to partake of a supper annually I'M
til the "last man. only is left, who will,
himself, observe the anniversary of the

may remember the story in Blackwood,

Webster on the Death of his Wife.

The following letter from the private I
correspondence of the "Godlike Dan
iel," is copied from late number of the
Boston transcript:
WASHINGTON, March 81, 1928.
Ny Dear Nephew Il thank you for
your kind and affectionate letter, and
assure you its suggestions are all in
strict accordance with my own feelings.
1t does not appear to me to be unreas
enable that the friendships of this life
are perpetuated in heaven. Flesh and
blood, indeed, cannot inherit the king
dom of God, but l know not why that
which constitutes pure source of hap
piness on earth, individual affection and
love, may not survive the tomb. In
deed is not the principle of happiness
to the sentient being essentially the
same in heaven and on earth 2 The
love of God and of the good beings
whom he has created, and the admira-
ton of the material universe which he
has formed, can there be other sources
of happiness than those to the human
mind. unless it is to alter the whole
structure and character
And again, it may be asked, how can
this world rightly be called a scene of
probation and discipline, if these afec-
tons, which we are commanded to cher
ish and cultivate here, are to leave US
on the threshold of the other world
These views, and many others, would
seem to lead to the belief, that earthly
affections purified and exalted are fit to
carry with us to the abode of the bless
ed. Yet it must be confessed that there
are some things in the New Testament
which may possibly countenance II diff
ferent conclusion. The words of our
Savior, especially in regard to the wo-
man who had seven husbands, deserve
| deep reflection.
l am free to confess that some descrip-
tions of heavenly happiness are so ethe-
real and sublimated as to fill me with
strange sort of terror. Even that which
you quote, that our departed friends
care as the angels of God" penetrates
my soul with dreadful emotion. Like
an angel of God, indeed, 1 hope she is
in purity, in happiness and in immortal
ity but l would fain hope that in kind
remembrance Of those she has left in a
lingering human sympathy and human
love, she may yet be as God originally
created her, little lower than the an
gels.
My dear nephew, cannot pursue
these thoughts nor turn back to sed
what l have written. Adieu,

ORIGIN Of THE BoNNET.-The first
bonnet worn IN England was brought
from Italy in the reign of Queen Eliza
beth, and its form was compromise be-
tween the present Italian peasant hat
and the French hood The materials
employed in constructing these head or
naments were crimson satin, deliberately
embroidered, cloth of gold, and similar
rich materials. The leghorn fiat, with
perpendicular crown and wide brim
standing out far around the face, was
the first legitimate bonnet worn, nd
this appeared long after Queet Eli Ia
beth's time 1t was trimmed with anti
fetal flowers and immense bows of rib
bon. Our present neat and exquisitely
delicate and tasteful head covering is
but modification of this huge affair,
which, until not very many years back,
was so universally worn and admired.

- They torture people in ChinaI
sometimes. Here is an account of d
case that occurred, few months ago, in
place called Si-lin. Mons. Chapdet
lame, French Missionary, was arrest
ed because he preached. He was
brought before the tribunal; the man
DARN began by ordering one hundred
blows on the face, to be inflicted on him
with a leather shoe-sole He then
made him lie down, and he was beaten
with three hundred strokes of cane.
As during this double torture NJ. Chap
delaine uttered no complaint nor groan,
the mandarin, attributing this long suf-
fering to the influence of some charm,
caused the throat of dog to be cut,
and sprinkled the poor sufferer with its
blood, in order to dissipate the magic.
Next day, the mandarin learning thai
NJ. Chapdelaine was still able to walk,
he ordered him to be beaten till his
strength should be exhausted; when it
was announced that the victim could no
longer move, they put him upon a sort
of apparatus with springs, that crushed
him as in press. In this condition he
was hung up. Lastly, when on the
point of death, he was decapitated-
His head was hung up to tree, but the
children pelting it with stones, it fell
down, and was devoured by the dogs
and pigs.

WATER.--A Beautiful Extract.

We take the following beautiful ex-
tract from an exceedingly well written
story by Symmetrical" and for beau
ty Of perception, poetic inspiration. sub
Unity of thought, and perspicuity of ex-
preston, we deem it unsurpassed:
Not in the glimmering still, over
smoky fires, choked with poisonous gas,
and surrounded with the stencil of sick
ening odors and rank corruption, doth
our Father in Heaven prepare the pre-
cious essence of life-the pure, cold wa
ter. But in the green glade and grassy
dell, where the red deer wanders, and
the child loves to play, where God him.
self brews it, and down, low down in
the valley, where the fountains murmur
and the rills sing; and high up on the
tall mountain tops where the naked
granite glitters like gold in the sun.
where the storm cloud blows and the
thunderstorms crash and away, far out
on the wide, wild sea, where the hurri
cane bowls music, and the big waves
roar the chorus, sweeping the march
of God there he brews it, that be-
verage of life, health giving wator.-
And everywhere it is thing of beauty
cleaning in the dewdrop; singing in
the summer rain; shining in the ice
gem, till the trees all seem to turn to
living jewels-spreading a golden veil
over the setting sun, or white gauze
around the midnight moon sporting in
the cataract; sleeping in the glacier;
dancing in the hail shower, folding its
bright snow curtains softly about tn
wintry world; and weaving the many
colored iris, that seraph's zone of the
SKY, whose heart is the rain drop of
Heaven, all speckled Ger with celestial
flowers, by the mystic hand of refrac-
ton. Always it is beautiful-that bles-
sed life-water No poison bubbles on
its brink ; its foam brings not madness
and murder; no blood stains its liquid
glass; pale widows and starving or
phans weep not burning tears in its
clear depths; no drunkard's shrieking
ghost from the grave, curses it in words
of eternal despair. And would you ex-
change it for the demons drink %

Wanted, a Live Woman.

Punch thus expresses his distress at the
disappearance Of woman from the face oi the
earth:
There are no women now adays In
stead OF women, we have towering editices
of silk, lace and flowers You see a mllin-
ers large advertising van that slides along
with rustling sound, and you are told that
it is woman; bat as You cannot approach
within several yards of the monster obstruc-
ton, you cannot tell what it is, beyond a
something that looks like an entire shop
front put in motion, with all the goods in it
exposed to sale. really believe if any
Snowman would open an exhibition, where
one could see woman, such AS woman were
in my young days, when they used to be
fair, slim, slender graceful, well proportion
ed, and everything that was beautiful, in
stead Of the animated wardrobes and un-
recogn;zabes of fine clothes that they now
are-I really believe that an enterprising
Snowman like that would rapidly realize
large fortune.

An Arkansas Fathers Advice to His Son.

Bob, you are about leaving home for
strange parts. You're going to throw ne
out of the game and go it alone. The odds
is agin you, Bob, but remember always that
industry and perseverance are the winning
cards; they are the blowers" Book larning
and all that sort of thing will do to fill up
With, like small trumps, but you must have
the bowers to back 'em, else they amt worth
shucks. If luck runs agn you pretty strong
don't cave in and look like sick chicken on
rainy day, but hold your head up and make
believe your flush of trumps; they won't play
so hard ag.n you. I've lived and travelled
around some, Bob, and I've found out that
as soon as folks thought you helt weak hand
they'd all buck against you strong. So, when
you're sorer weak, keep on a bold front,
but play cautious; he satisfied with pint.
Many's the hand I've seem euchred cause
they played for too much. Keep your eyes
well skinned, Bob; don't let 'em mig" on
YOU; recolect the game lays as much with
the head as with the hands. Be temperate;
never get drunk, for then, no matter how
good your hand, you won't know how to
play it; both bowers and the ace won't save
YOU, fortbere's sartin' to be miss deal" or
something wrong. And another thing, Bob,
Chis was spoken in a low tone) don't 60
too much on the women; queens is kinder
poor cards; the more you have of 'em the
worse for You; you might have three, and
nary a trump. don't say discard 'em all;
if YOU get hold of one that's trump, it's
all good; and there's sartin' to he one out of
four. And above all Bob, be honest; never
tr,.1 l. al
nor "slip" cards, or mig" for then you can't
look your man in the face, and when that's
the case, there's no fun in the game; its re-
gular 'cut throat So now, Bob. farewell:
remember wot I tell you, and you'll be sure
to win, and if you don't, sarves YOU right if
YOU get "skunked." Golden Era.
