WHAT MAKES A CRY GRow. = The
Philadelphia Bulletin has q very sug-
gestive article on the causes which make
a city grow. There are many causes
that are beyond the control of the citi-
zens, such as natural increase, adyan-
tages Of situation, communication or
production but IL is contended that the
character which its inhabitants hive to
the city has vastly more to do with Its
growth than all other causes put to-
gether. In other words, the public
spirit of the citizens determines the
growth Of city. A city attracts popu-
lation when It is free from debt, and
living therefore comparatively cheap,
and when, from its many opportunities
for instruction, rational amuscments,
and healthful rscreations, It becomes a
desirable place to live 10. There is a
constant tendency amongst those who
have acquired competency In this coun-
try, to drift towards the cities, and es-
pecially to the cities which furnish the
most facilities for living o cultivated
and pleasant life. In this view, IL Is
seen that the public spirit which invests
with fiue churches, parks, rational and
refined amusements, public schools, art
galleries, concert halls, public libra
ries, etc., isiin reality a most common
sense business spirit. The more public
improvements Of this sort we have, the
moro certainly we will draw to our city
an increase Of permanent residents.
Money invested In these enterprises will
soon be amply repaid in the growth Of
the city, aud the growth Of the city
means the prosperity Of the inhabitants.

A SsArs SroRY.-A lad 10 Ohio, re-
Gently, went out to q potato mound to
get some potatoes. After clearing
away the snow and looking into the
mound he found q dent 10 the straw, in
which he found q compact ball, which
he took to be q large mass of string,
such as Is In common use. He brought
il Ia with the potatoes and laid IL on
the baby's cradle nedr the stove. His
mother just then sent him of to a ueigh-
boris, and continued about her work.
He was gone On hour and when he re-
turned, upon looking for his ball, he
found IL had resolved itself intoa pile
Of squirming snakes, many Of which
were seeking the warmth Of the infants
body, and one had actually entered the
infants mouth. A cry of alarm from
the boy attracted the attention of the
mother toward the cradle, aud seizing
the child, she sought TO sxtricate the
reptile, but was too late, and it actually
drew itself into tho baby's mouth aud
down its throat. A. physician was sent
for, but he recognized the snake rs be-
ing perfectly harmless. he declined
worrying the baby With medicine, and
the child seemed nnhurt by its singular
accident. The mother declares, how
ever, that It's appetite Is much In
creased, and that in It's sleep IL FREE
quently hisses loudly.

How A TRUE FRESHMAN TALKs.-From
q leading editorial in the Irish Republic,
q paper published in Chicago, and de-
voted to the cause Of freedom in Ireland,
VIC find the following noble senti-
ments:
can who would secure the freedom
of Ireland and America-of every land
and race Of men that dwell beneath the
heavens-have but n Left
them. And that is, to fall back on FIRST
principles. Let them take their stand
on the glorious declaration Of American
Independence, and insist that every man
that all men-'' have q right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness"
The men or the party who are opposed
to these principles, let US meet with q
firm, unbroken front. The fight may
be long and sometimes appa. emily
doubtful. But Truth and Justice and
God-the God Of fresdom-are all with
us, and therefore our cause, though baf-
fed and belied ten thousand times,
must and shall prevail. Above all
things, let us not be guilty Of the fatal
betrayal Of country and liberty which
inevitably results from the action Of
men who, in their criminal inconsist-
ency, are the champions of freedom for
one land and Of slavery for another,
who to-day worship the Lord, and to-
morrow kneel at the shrine Of Belial,
who are for a republic in Ireland, and a
monarchy in Italy, who would deck the
brow of the white man with the gar
lands Of the free, and rivet on the
limbs Of the black man the chains of the
slave"

THE GREAT STORM IN rHR WEsr.-The
Chicago Tribune has an article on the
great storms Of 1855, 1864 and of 1868,
in the Northwest, which is full of inter-
es,ing facts. It says of tho storm of
the first week in March last: son Sum
day, March l, began the greatest snow
storm of this season, and the seysrcst
in many respects known in the West for
years. The storm extended from be-
yond the Missouri river in n belt rang
ing from the south half of Dakota to
Kansas, and eastwardly W. the States
Of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa,
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, 1ndiana,
Ohio, Michigan, the Cauadas, Western
Pennsylvania, New York and the New
England States. South Of the liue Of
forty-one degrees this storm was accom-
panied by rain, and in some places by &
light sprinkle Of snow. North Of that
line there was no rain, but q fall Of
snow almost unprecedented at any time,
but never equaled as late in the season
as March. This depth Of snow rendered
more obstructive to travelling because
of its drifting, and its close massing
under the force Of o most furious wind,
extended as far eastward, north Of the
line Of the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne
Railway, as New England"

PRoaSosrIoATIoSs-BY Prentice Null
PoRD.-The signs Of the times indicate
o general defeat Of the Democracy this
fall. Last years victories are not the
omens Of future successes. The Dsmoc-
racy upset their own tub by overgrsed-
mess. A moderate degree Of greed for
Office is quite right and proper, but too
much Is really disgusting.
But the Republicans need not too
highly exalt themselves. Their future
victories will result in political ruin,
unless they are very careful. Their
hunger after spoils is likewise Of a very
immoderate character. Two or three
years hence what a commingling Of
those two parties there will be.
Ten or fifteen years hence there will
be no Americans. The race is fast be-
coming extinct. They have done their
work ; they must slide. A few will be
preserved as curiosities.
The negro will walk q plank also.
General Grant will 60 out Of tho
White House, like all u latter-day
Presidents, with more metaphorical
kicks than compliments. II will at last
como to DO fully recognized that It is a
thing most dangerous to any ones rep
utation and peace Of mind to become q
President of these United States. II Is
much moro safe and digni6ed to be a
Senator.
When the women vote las they willy
there will be unheard Of complications
in political affairs. Parties and factions
will come into existence known as the
Long Skirts, the Short Skirts, the Blue
Carriers, the Virgins, the Matured Maids,
tho Prolifcs and the Unproliic. There
may DO smashed bonnets and disheyeled
hair on election day. Heaven help the
land
Immoderato whisky drinking will, in
consequence of the advent Of the fem
ininc element, either receive q great
check or become general with both
sexes. The common freedom Of bars
and saloons may be one ofthe first rights
sought and demanded by the sex.
Impeachments Of individuals high in
Office will heneoforth become common,
now that the ice 10 broken.
In the immediate future poor mon will
become moro plentiful than ever. This
comes close to revolution.-S.F +. Mron-
icfe.

lad q COMING MANI

From the date Of the surrender Of the
last ~retreating remnant Of Lees army
from Richmond, and from the fatal l4th
of'April, 1865, whom Abraham Lincoln,
that loved and good mas, was foully
slain by a hireling Of base and damnsble
treason, until the present hour, the
hearts desire and hope Of a large and
growing body of the most intelligent
aud influential citizens of q country
has been to place 10 the highest position
of trust and power, within the gift OF
the people the man who, with such cool
determination, quick sagacity and con-
summate skin, had directed the armies
Of the Union to . proud victory over the
cohorts Of treason. Thousands felt,
and how justly tho sequel has shown,
that although the armed forces Of seces-
sion had been subdusd, that the strug-
gle was, in many material features, yet
unfinished. The manner Of the resto-
ration Of the disaffected States 10 q full
and equal standing with theloyal States
of tho Union, was the knotty question
which has puzzled the brains of our
statesmen and law makers, for a long
period. Attic same time that Congress
was graphing with the problem Of Re-
construction, it has been found that the
Accidental" Executive Of the u
try's laws wa in active sympathy and
counsel with the adherents Of treason,
aud tho enemies of the nation. To just
what extent the present Incumbent of
the White House Is guilty of the charges
which have been brought against him,
tho lapse Of a few days time will now
exhibit. And the lesson for the future
to NIL tho political eIcrescences and tu-
mors, Of tho like Of Andrew Johnson,
will serve MS a warning to the people to
be chary as to whom they entrust the
Chief Magistracy Of the Republic.
The signs Of the times are of no uu-
certain import. The public press, being
the reflex of the sentiments of the peo-
pie, VIC must take It as a medium re-
yealing the probable final edict Of the
people. The mass of journals through
out the country are rallying to the sup
port of tho man whom the finger Of fate
points to as the next President of the
United States, General Ulysses S. Grant.
However much some may desire his
permanent retention In the responsible
position no now holds as o life incum.
bent, Of the office Of General Of the
United States armies, yet the stubborn
fact 'stares us in the face, that General
Grant combines in q greater degree the
requisites Of competency, integrity and
availability than any other person that
Gun be named in that connection. His
nomination will command the support
of most of the soldiers Of the late war,
as we'll as that Of many professed DEM
'~ocrats, and last, and greatest, the united
and hearty support of the great Repub-
licau party Of the country, the acknowl-
edged representative Of the better and
more intellectual and refined part Of the
American people. That Grant will re-
ceive a larger majority of electoral
votes than was ever given for a Presi-
dent is our belief, and we counsel all to
take heart and work each in his sphere
as best he may, placing his trust in
God, his hope in Grant, with victory for
his watchword and Cheyenne
Leader.

MINING

~
The loss Of life in mining does not
necessarily exhibit q larger percentage
than in any other Of the many pursuits
engaged in by mankind, but the dangers
to which a miner is exposed are GER
tainly palpable and apparent enough,
and the accidental deaths resulting
therefrom arc fully as numerous and
frequent in this section Of the mineral
world as we 'hsvo any desire to record.
In order to give some idea Of mining
dangers and the consequent percent
age of fatal results, We give the fol-
lowing statistics, translated from o
pamphlet published BY the Hanoverian
Mining Agent 10 1864, which will be
read with interest and fully appreciated
by our washoe miners. They contain q
full statement Of all the accidents which
occurred in the Upper Hartz, from l75l
to the close Of tho year 1868, n period
of liz years. During that time, about
5000 persons were employed annually
in the mines and reduction works Of
that district, and the whole number Of
accidental deaths amounted to 1870,
from the following causes
"Caved upon by rocks, 1856; premature
blasts, Exploding bore-holes," y ITO; falling
from the ladders. sS; killed in shafts by the
