A City in the Rocky Mountains.

The resident population of Virginia,
Nevada territory, ON the 1st of July

number Of transient visitors being as
many more Main street, which is the
Broadway and Wall of the city, is some
three quarters Of a mile in length, and
is covered with every grade and discrip-

elegantly dressed males and females.
The buildings on main street are
mostly brick, the first story iron, open
in the front This gives light and
cheerful appearance to the street, es-
pecially in the night time, when brill
liantly lighted with gas. Man of the
buildings in the city are provided with
vaults and salamanders: the four and
FIVE story brick and iron front fire proofs
now going up all have one or both of
these indispensable features. Some cf
the streets are SO blocked up with lum-
Der, buick and mortar, thal teams are at
tines unable to get along common Ia
borers get from 81 to So per day, with
out board.
The city support four daily news
papers, theatre, opera house, several
churches, any number ofnegro minstrels
and melodeons, to say nothing Of the
institutions already enumerated above.
At Wells & Fargo's large banking
house and express Office it is not un-
common to see tons Of "silver bricks"
wheeled in and out in the course of an
hour. These "bricks," in shape, resen-
bic the ordinary fire brick, bat are much
larger, and from nine hundred and

working Girls

Happy girls-who cannot love them ?
With cheeks like the rose, bright eyes
and elastic steps; how cheerfully they
90 to work Our word for it, such girls
will make excellent wives. Blessed in
deed will men be who secure such
prizes Contrast those who do nothing
but sigh all day, and live to follow the
fashions who never earn the bread they
eat, or shoes they wear are languid and
lazy from one weeks end to another
Who but a simpleton and popinjay
would prefer one Of the latter, if he were
looking for companion? Give US the
working girls. They are worth their
weight in gold. You never see them
mincing along or jumping dozen feet
to steer clear of spider or fly. They
have no affectation, no silly airs about
them. When they meet you, they speak
without putting on half dozen ars,
trying to show off to better advantage,
and you feel as if you were talking to
human being, and not to painted or
fallen angel.
Ii girls knew how sadly they miss it
while they endeavor to show off their
delicate hands and unsoiled skin, and
put on thousand airs, they would give
worlds for the situation of the working
ladies. who are above them in intelli
gence, in honor, in everything, as the
heavens are above the earth.
Be wise, then. You have made fools
of yourselves though. Turn over new
leaf, and begin to live and act as human
beings, as companions to immortal man
In no other way can you be happy and
subserve the purpose of your existence

From the gloom of misrue-ts to march in the van,
