SOMETHING FOR PRINTEEs-Elitors
and competitors are very frequently tax
ed to make out manuscripts that have
bren written with pencil and rubbed
out, or otherwise made illegible. We
had a case of the kind during the past
week, and had gone to a nighboriug law
office to borrow a magnifying glass to en-
able US to decipher the manuscript that
had been written with pencil and which
had been rubbed and made almost imper-
Ceptible. A friend told us to hold it to
our mouth and breath on it for a few sec
onds. We did so, and the result was al
most miraculous, as it brought out the
pencil mari IS and made them easily read
The same friend tells us that holding such
manuscript over a keltls'of water is still
better, and that it will make pencil marks
indellible to hold manuscript over kiLtle

DOMESTIC TRoUBLE.-Between Q and
10 o'clock last evening II large crowd
WAS drawn together at the Railroad Ex-
change, Third and X streets, where n
domestic scene occurred between II hus-
band and wife, Of q rather boisterous
and exciting character. 1t appears that,
for Some reason or other, the husband
left home several days ago, and since
doing so has worked as usual in day
time but has lodged Vt night Mt one or
another of the hotels. The wife found
him last evening and accused him OF
attempting to desert her and leave her
%unprovided for. She was very severe
in her language and accusations, while
he, in turn, seemed inclined to be quiet
and to avoid discussion Mt that time
and place. So much noise and commo-
ton was caused that the two were taken
to the station-house by two special
officers, but as no charge was entered
against either, they were soon released,
and took their departure for home to-
gether.-Sacrdmento Union, Al inst.

IT MUsr BE MET.-we say that the
talk of its being q false policy for the
Union party Of Nevada to adopt the
suffrage question is utterly idle. II
must be met. And if q majority Of the
Union party decides adversely to it, il
decides against the reconstruction pol
icy of Congress. Nothing seems more
clear to US than that those who are in
favor of manhood citizen suffrage, IRE.
spective of color, and those who are
opposed to it from conviction should
belong to different parties. We do moi
say this in order to "read" any man
or set of men out of any party or into
any party; but merely to state a
deliberate conviction. II is u belief
that every respectable citizen Of the
United States should be invested with
that first and best means of self-pro-
lection, the right of suffrage; and we
believe that such is the sense Of o very
large majority of the Republican party.
We conceive it to be an open, vital
question, the supporters and oppossrs
Of which are as far asunder as men can
be placed. The policy of the matter is
out of the question. Men must act upon
their convictions; and decide whether
they prefer the Republican party rith
manhood citizen suffrage, or the Demo
cratic party without it; for just as Ger,
tain as the next Presidential election is
to come, just so certain will this issue
have to be then met at the polls.-Car-
son appeal.

THE BANK OF CALIFORNIA AND POLL
rIos.-The stockholders Of the Bank Of
California had a meeting in San Fran
cisco the other night to elect Trustees,
and the Cashier, W. G. Ralston, made
lengthy and entertaining reports re-
garding its business. In the Times re.
port of the proceedings we find the fol-
lowing:
"The question of interference in pol
itics was brought up, and a statement
was made by the Cashier, emphatically
declaring that not n dime Of the In
stitution's money had been used in any
manner 10 affect the elections; that
neither he nor the President, nor any o.
the Trustees, had attempted to iniu'
encs any one connected with the Bank
in the matter Of voting; and finally,
that all there was in all the charges
made on this subject, consisted simply
of he himself having thrown away two
thousand dollars on Gorham, and per
haps the President u smaller amount

LONG DRESSES. = Oliver Wendell
Holmes touches off the habit of wearing
long dresses:
Why, there is o a beast or a bird
that would drag its tail through the
dirt in the way these creatures do their
dresses. Because a queen or duchess
wears long robes on great occasions, q
maid-of-all-work or q factory girl thinks
she must make herself a nuisance by
trailing through the street, picking up
and carrying about with her-bah !
that's what l call getting vulgarity into
your bones and marrow. Shove over
dirt is the attribute of vulgar people.
If any man can walk behind one of
these women, and see what she rakes
up as she goes, aud not feel squeamish,
he has got a tough stomach. I would
not let one of them into my room with
out serving them as David did Saul at
the cavein the wilderness-cut off his
skirts! Don't tell me that a true lady
ever sacrifices the duty of keeping all
about her sweet and clean, to the wish
of making a vulgar show. l don't be-
lieye it of n lady. There are some
things that no fashion has any right to
touch, and cleanliness is one of them.
