THE EVENING NEWS.

lew persons folloW TINS OLD out excellent
maxim. Some in fact seem to have a
disposition to depart as far as possible
from it, by word and act. There are q
few persons in the community who seem
to have a natural disposition to try and
traduce the character Of every one and
give currency to reports, fabricated BY
themselves, which are calculated to in
jure the character of innocent persons.
A malicious act against a persons cor
poreal being, will in time remedy itself,
but an uncharitable SANDER against the
character of a person is something that
is hard to heal. Both males and female
are entirely too unguarded in the ex-
pressions they use. Some persons do
an injury in this way without intending
it. But there is another class who seem
to take a supreme delight in overhaul
ing the characters Of all with whom
they are acquainted, and to crafty a
contemplate disposition, they circulate
falsehoods calculated to ruin the char
acter Of any respectable person. Espe-
cially is there danger in giving circula-
ton to stories in regard TO the character
Of young ladies, more than any others.
A slanderous story never loses anything
by being told. Although not very in
furious whom first uttered, yet after
twenty have embellished it with a fer
tile imagination, the character Of some
respectable lady is utterly ruined. We
give these hints in order that certain
persons may see how easy it is to do an
injury to a person who is wholly guilt
less, and TO deny it to the public only
gives grounds for suspicion with the
masses.
GOLD HILL AND THE STREETS
Yesterday we took a tramp into lower
Gold Hill as far as the Gold Hill Foun-
dry. We found the road much cut up;
but not near so much mud as might be
expected. There is a large stream OF
water continually running down the
street, which has carried off the most of
the mud, but has cut deep cutters in
the street, yet il is not near so bad
wheeling as it was q week ago. The
Gold Hill Foundry, which was so badly
torn to pieces by the boiler exploding,
is being rapidly repaired, there being a
large force of men at work on it. A
new boiler is on the ground ready to be
pu. in place. The building is being
drawn together with hog-chsius. From
what we learn from a gentlemen who
lives near BY, and who was on the
ground a moment after the explosion,
il must have been caused from q lack OF
water in the boiler. He informs US
there was neither water nor steam
visible after the explosion. All those
injured was by fragments of the boiler
or from falling timbers, not one WAS
scalded BY water or steam, which IS
pretty conclusive proof that there was
not much of either in the boiler at the
time of the explosion, whose fault it
WAS we do not pretent to say. But
every man who runs an engine should
be an engineer, that is certain.
"MAy Is FEAIL."-A gentleman Of
Virginia, this morning said that during
the recent war of words in the Legisls-
ture between Mr.. Julien and Speaker
Ferguson, the Speaker in his closing re-
marks, in the way Of q clincher, said
"In the beginning Of this session gave
expression TO q sentiment that has gone
all over the wide, wide world, Man IS
frail.' And now, gentlemen, I q am fully
convinced of the truthfulness Of that
fact" II was'a sumner and the debate
closed At once.
HuxILIArSG.-Nearly every morning,
while we are at the Station House, Vir-
ginia, getting the report of the Record
er's Court, a little girl of some ten sum
mers, comes into the front room and
asks permission to see her father, who
is confined in the city prison for viola
ton Of the law. How humiliating it
must be to a person of the least pride to
have their children come to a place OF
the kind TO visit them. What n place
for a child to go to find its natural pro-
tector!
VIRGIyIA.-Last night was one Of the
most stormy Of the season-in the way
of DRINKS and disorderly conduct. The
Police were kept quite busy in making
arrests. The streets were full Of people;
a great many of whom were intoxicated.
There was one or two accidental pistol
shots fred. This will soon close, how
ever, as the officers are determined to
enforce the law regarding carrying con-
cealed weapons as soon as they receive
instructions from the Prosecuting At
torney.
The LECTURE AT PIrEs's OPERA
Housr.-No more tickets to that Lee
ture of Mr.. wiegand on Monday evening
will be sold, than there are seats in the
house. The present prospect is that
the house will be full-lsdies and gen.
tlemen can be sure Of q seat only by
purchasing tickets before going to the
Hall.
P~LAcERvILLz SrAGE.-The stage by
the Placerville route, arrived in Virginia
this morning, with sixty-seven bags Of
mail matter. Who can beat ity Good
time will now be made by this line. In
fact, much better time than by the other
route, until the railroad is opened to
Cisco.
LAST NIeHr.-Doctor Mason's lecture
last night, at the Gold Hill Theater,
was very well attended, and we presume
gave general satisfaction. "The Social
and Political Equality Of Woman" was
the theme.
RELIGIOUS NorIcE.-There will be d.
vine service in the N. E. Church, Gold
Hill, tomorrow at II o'clock A. N. and
II o'clock P. N. All are invited to at
tend.
RELIGIOUS NorIor.-The Baptists will
hold divine service every Sabbath at the
Distric. Court room, B street, at y P.
n. Preaching by Charles R. Klein. All
are cordially invited.
WHERE ARE THEY.-Hardly any Of
the members Of the Legislature have
come up from Carson yet. Perhaps
they are bathing at the Warm Springs.
BuILIox.-vsn wyck 4 Co., Gold
Hill, received this morning for melting
.,da..av q 500 ounces crude bullion.
