THE EVENING NEWS.

CHARITY BEaISs At HoxE.-Thsre
seems to be a disposition on the part Of
the people of this State to throw aside
every branch of business carried on in
the State and patronize San Francisco
in every particular possible. Men who
wish to make a purchase Of any thing
like Groceries, Oils, Liquors, Machinery
or in fact any thing in that line they al
most invariably go to the Bay for it. At
the same time paying more in the long
run for the same articles than they could
purchase the same articles for Of our
W merchants, thus giving the profits
made on the goods to the merchants of
San Francisco. Those in business here
must be supported and are necessarily
compelled to sell at a greater profit than
than they would If they made large
sales. Thus we see it is money out Of
pocket to give our patronage to another
State instead of home. Again it is but
right and Just that you should give your
patronage to home merchants, they are
engaged in a legitimate business and
are indispensable to the prosperity of
the State. Yet how are they to be sup
ported if the only custom they get is q
dollar or too when you are compelled
to purchase some trifing articles?
1t is a good principle to go on, "Live
and let live" There is yet another
branch of business which does not meet
with the support which it should. We
refer to printing. Many persons wish
ing work done in this line, for SOM un-
known reason, send to California to
have the work done, when they can
have it done in better style and less
money here than anywhere else, after
all charges are paid. There is not a
particle Of work in the printing line
but what can be done at home, and
should be done at home. Those who
have established printing offices in this
State have done it at an immense out
lay in order to have all the necessary
material to do all kinds Of work. Now
what we are limiting at is, for those who
have to make large purchases in any
branch of business carried IN in the
State, to patronize home trade as long
as they can do rs we'll rs TO so away
from home.
FINE PAIxrIYGs.-We saw in Virginia,
a few days since, some three or four
paintings, belonging to Augustus Ash,
and from the brush of j. Eggert, a
young man Of rare talent as a painter.
One Of the paintings was a landscape,
drawn from imagination. Il is certainly
n credit to the artist. Another is the
portrait Of Abraham Lincoln, and is one
of the most life-like portraits we have
ever seen. The painting was drawn
from a photograph, and is a l~ife-size
bust. There is not a line nor a mark in
the photograph that is not brought out
in the painting just as natural as
il exists in the human face. Mr.. Eggart
certainly possesses a rare talent as an
artist, and should be encouraged by our
citizens. He unfortunately, like nearly
all of his profession, has but Il short
purse. ANY one wishing a splendid
portrait or beautiful landscape painted
for a parlor, should call on him, and
thereby give him that encouragement
which he deserves, and which will slim
ulate him to apply himself. Who
knows but what Nevada may send forth
to the world as great a painter as ever
Italy has done2
CROWN PoISr.-On yesterday after
noon we were at the Crown Point hoist
ing-works. The work was going along
as smoothly as though they were work
ing in an oil well. The new pump-boo
is finished and in operation. We also
noticed some hundred yards below the
Crown Point mill, three large tanks into
which all the tailings pass, emptying
into the upper one and passing through
all three. The first catches all the
heavy metal, while the others catch the
lighter, material. When they are full
this pulp is shoveled out, and at some
future time will be removed and doubt
less will pay well. If this course was
adopted by all our mills it would be a
most excellent idea, as there is much
metal lost in them.
MAGNOLIA WArER.-George Lewis, |
1--WE all'know him) who keepsthe splen-
did Saloon in Carson city, known as the
Magnolia, sent US by Billy Wilson's
stage this morning, . large bottle Of his
delicious Magnolia water-known IN
Pennsylvania as sold Rye" We have
used some, and its electrical effect is
delightful and whslesome-and very
smooth. George keeps it At the Mag
nolia. If old st. Paul were a member
of u Legislature he would go and live
at the Magnolia. He knew what old
rye meant.
A DrvIDESp.-The trustees Of the yell
low Jacket Silver Mining Company this

lars per share on their capital stock.

colunn.)
