The Enormous wealth Of Novada.

Rev. Mr. Simpson, oftho Methodist Church,
in Chicago. ia his Thanksgiving Sermon, gave
the following sketch Of the untold store Of
mineral wealth OF Nevada
When in California, visited the mines and
| thought the time would come when they
would be exhausted but in the mines OF Ne
vada there are no indications visible. The
more the mines are worked, the richer the
yield. TIE extent Of the ledges containing
the precious metal no man has yet. been able
to measure.
I will mention a single instance, 10 give
you some idea of the inexhaustible supply.
In what is termed the Ophir Mine, single
lead, as it IS called there, is fifty-fre feet in
thickness, and incines. only at an angle Of Eve
degrees. Think Of the extent of that-neqrly
as far as from this altar to yonder wall. This
is all silver mingled with gold. There is more
gold in value than silver, but more silver in
weight than gold. The company have only
two hundred feet working and ont Of that
they are now realizing about ten thousand
dollars a day. There is this peculiarly about
it, that the deeper the mine extends, the rich
er and mole profitable it becomes. When I
was there they had penetrated two hundred
feet. There were i've chambers which they
had dug out, one under he other, leaving three
large pillars to support the roof. They would
sink shaft down about forty feet, make an
other platform, dig out the metal leaving pil-
lars as before, and then sink another. One Of
the directors told me each lower platform gave
as much yield as all the other platforms COM
-bined ;; that Is, the sith platform was as val
liable as the four above It put together. Such
wealth was never a matter Of contest among
| the powers ct sartd before. ~ -.--,

Advice to Young Men

a lady, who signs herself q A Martyr to
Late Hours, offers the following sensible sdg-
|gestions to your men p si @
Dear gentlemen between the ages Of eigb-
teen and forty-fve, listen to a few words Of
.gratuitious remarks. When you make a So
cial call Of an evening on a young lady, go
away at a reasonable hour. Say you come at
8 o'clock, an hour and half is certainly as
long as the most fascinating Of you in con7er-
sation can, or rather ought to desire to use
his charms. Two hours indeed, can be very
pleasantly spent, with music, chess, or other
games to lend variety but, kind sirs, by no
means stay longer Make shorter calls and
come oftener. A girl-tbat is, a sensible, true
hearted girlLwin enjoy Il better, and really
value your acquaintance more.
5. Just conceive the agony Of a girl who, well
knowing the feelings Of a father and mother
upon the subject, hears the clock strike ten,
and yet must sit on the edge of her chair, in
mortal terror lest papa should put his Oft-re-
peated threat into execution-that Of coming
down and inviting the gentleman to breakfast !
And we girls understand It all by experience,
and know what it is to dread the -prognostie
Of displeasure. In such cases a sigh Of relief
generally accompanies the closing Of the door
behind the gallant, and oae don't get over he
feeling Of trouble tilt safe in the arms of Nor
pheus. Even then sometimes the dreams are
troubled with some phantom Of an angry faith

HOPE the UNIoN-readiRg public will
not omit the perusal Of this very true and
forcibIy written epistle on the moral cul-
turs Of their children. I am most posi-
lively eossesd into my position on this
deeply interesting SUBJECT, having daily
to witness the remarkably bad behavior
Of the children in our land. I hope the
parents. in this place will not lay the fat

/ UNION. 75
There is not sentence in the Bible
truer than the prOverb, " A child left to
himself bringetlr his mother to shame.
Why was it not written his father,
&C.; because it is the mother that is
commanded to properly bring up the
child. The mother forms the character
and moulds the disposition of her chill
dren. Don't wait until they are six years,
but commence when they are six months
ofage this Is not day too early. The
elements and outlines Of the man or wO-
man are seen pretty distietly developed
at five years. Apply the adage, the
child is father to the man. We know
as they advance in years that great
many changes will take place, but we
have the foundation at this early period.
It is really astonishing, nay, almost alar-
ming, in this enlightened century to say
how few children are well bred. A good
or bad child is not made in a day. 1t is
lineupoH line, precept upon Precept, and
they are forming habits that will 90 with

mueh-serving mother, that your children
will remain invariably uneultivated thro'
life. in all the little eourtesies and man
ners that make "the man, and the

wholesome truths should be impressed
upon children from their earliest con

THE Turks undoubtedly understand
how to smoke better than any other ma
tiOn. They do not. seem to be harmed
by it, since. they live to a healthy old age
4 in the constant use of the weed. But,
whether harmed or not, they evidently
excel all.other people in the luxury. The
Turk uses clean clay pipe. He also
uses a long wooden stem. Thisnis the
important characteristic of the chibouk,
and the theory Of the thing is this: All
woody fibers in burning are deeomposed,
giving off quantities of water, or of oxy-
gen ard hydrogen which compose water.
This water passes off in steam or vapor,
having in solution the nicotine and other
component parts of tobacco.
What is commonly called the "oir'
lin a pipe is ninety y-nine hundredth parts
water. It cannot but be evident that
this hot water or steam, passing as it
does directly from the FIRE to the mouth
when one smokes a.short pipe or a cigar.
is uncomfortable if not unwhoIesome.
A long wooden stem, three to five feet in
length, with large bore, is therefore ad-
vantageous in this respect that it permits
the smoke to rest in the tube some time
before It is taken into the mouth. Tt
deposits its steam, and a large part Of the
nicotine, in the wooden tube, and the
smoker takes into his lips a dry smoke
The Turks clean these stems daily
with strong coffee. They prefer the
wood of the jessamine or the wild cherry
to all others, although they make pipe
stems Of every wood Indeed it is not
uncommon for luxurious Turk to send
out for the branch of large rose bush,
have his servant bore the stem with the
ever-ready ginlet and string, and then
hand the pipe to his guest blooming
with fragrant roses. Jessanine and cher
.ry stems cost, in the Turkish bazars, from
one to ten, and even fifteen dollars each.
1t is on the stem and mouth-piece that
the expense is wasted. The amber mouth
piece is itself costly-choice amber, mil
ky and delicate in color, being worth al
most its weight in gold in Oriental coun-
tries, and the mouth-p;ege is ornamented
with jewels, according to the wealth of
the proprietor. Thus a mouth piece
worth ten or twenty thousand dollars may
be frequently seen, while the bowl Of the
pipe is worth but a tenth Of cent.-N

incidentally touched upon Mr.. Chase as a
Presidential candidate, Honest Old Abe
dryly remarked that he would not for the

me, . said the President, explain. When
I was yet a lad, working on a farm in III
i,inois, I was engaged with a brother, once
upon time, in the tedious business of
tploughing with a very lazy old team.
No amount of beating would induce him
to increase his usual speed, which was
the sieepiest and slowest possible walk.
1t was my business to guide the plough,
while my assistant, 70 the best Of his
ability, with two hand hickory, kept

blows and our abuse, when suddenly he

Davy going at this rate, let the horseay
alone, With his assistance we shall get

iswith Mr. Chase. The next Presidency
is his hOrsefy, and it makes the patriotic
Secretary as lively at his work as old
Davy. Let the horsefy alone ~ z
