The Boy SPEAKER.-I was riding
hither from Philadelphia the other day,
when ! saw upon the train Willie Todd,
Speaker Colfax's messenger. or him ]
took occasion to inquire into the person
and history Of Thaddy Morris, who had
been page to Speaker Pennington in
1850, and virtually Speaker Of the House
of Representatives. Mr.. Pennington
was II delightful oid gentleman, ignorant
of Parliamentary practice, and he wal
elected by n compromise between the
adberents of Sherman and Marshall, OF
Kentucky. Placed in his embarrassing
chair, he found the great dog.pit of the
House barking, like Cerberus, under
him, and be took every ruling, point
and suggestion frNn Thaddeus most
gratefully. Once, it is related, when
young Morris had prepared everything
snugly for Pennington, outlined the or
der of business, prompted him complete
ly, and left the course straight rs the
crow %fies," 80 that q wayfariug man,
though a fool, neod not 60 astray, he
said to the Speaker, "Now, 60 on"
"Now, 60 on |" cried Pennington
promptly, to the House, ut which there
was huge laughter.-New York Mail.

THE Belgian journals tell a curious
story of how a runaway couple disposed
of their uncle. The bride was the
daughter of q barrister at Louvnin, and
she married a tobacconist against her
fathers wishes. The father cut of the
supplies, when the happy couple took a
cottage in the country, and invited a
rich old uncle TO come and live with
them, and conxed him into making a
will in their favor. No oonor had he
done this than the cottage took fire, and
the uncle lost his life in the confiragra-
ton. This curious coincidence struck
tho police as suspicious they not only
entered n cnveat against the old gentle
mans will, but have taken bis niece and
nephew into custody.

MEN n WOMEN BATHING WITHOUT
THE CUSTOMARY FIG LEAF-A THOUSAND
MERxEN AND MERNAiDs IN MANILA
For a dirty psople-aud no n who has
any regard for truth will for a moment
contend that the Manillas are anything
else-the men and woman of Manila
wash, or battle, oftener than any other
people | ever saw. They delight in
water, but have a horror Of soap, and
do not use it when they can manage to
let it escape their memory. Every
evening, after the sun has sunk down
behind tho hills in the west, and before
the light Of day has entirely faded, or
when the moons rays are shining the
brightest, can be seen bathers vending
their way to the beach between the bay
and Cavite. It is at this hour q sees
the humble life of MANILA. 1t is at this
hour that the rich are enjoying their
evening rides ; as the poor cannot afford
the luxury Of a carriage, they indulge in
a bath. The waters Of the ocean are
free to all. A mile and a half from the
city walls Is a beautiful single beach 4;
the water 10 Just suited for bathing, and
here, nightly, thousands eougregate to
dash in amongst the pillows and sport
in the surf. Here all are equal hero
men and women, old aud young, single
and married, with NJ more clothes upon
them than when they came into the
world, can be seen enjoying themselves,
shouting, laughing, jumping and plung-
ing, swimming and diving, and having
q good time Of it. They do not conduct
themselves any moro indecorously than
the bathers at Newport ; yet they make
q more liberal display Of their persons.
I visited this place one evening, and
found fully one thousand persons dis
porting in the water at one time, and
all as happy as Sc many msrmen and
mermaids-to which some Of the fair
ones appeared nearly allied, as they,
with their dark hair flaming free and
uucoufued, foated upon the surface Of
the silvery waves, or with musical
laugh disappeared beneath the surface
when seized by some companion who
had dived and seized them by the leg
and pulled them down for the fun Of the
thing.-Cor. Chicago Tribune.

A NEW CouSrY.-Ws learn from our
contemporaries that there is to DO a new
county applied for and created ut the
coming session Of the Legislature, COM
prising the White Pine District, and to
be taken out Of Lander. The matter
has been discussed here but little, and
as vet has assumed no definite shape.
Whether the people of the White Pine
District are or are not in favor OF imme-
distely organizing a county government
We are not sufficiently advised to state.
Some complaint has been made recently
growing out of the litigation from that
district. A large number Of witnesses
were compelled to come to Austin to give
their evidence in person before the
Court. The distance is over q hun
dred miles, and the fees, it was charged,
did not cover the expense Of the round
trip, besides the loss Of time. The stat
ute is defective in not providing for the
taking of depositions where witnesses re-
side n certain distance, say fifty miles
from the place Of trial. Had we n law
providing for taking the dspositious Of
witnesses who reside at a distance from
the Courthouse, instead Of requiring
the personal attendance Of all witnesses
resident Of the county, wO would not
have so much desire for the creation Of
new counties where territory, more than
population, creates the demand for Thorn.
There are more things to be considered,
in connection with the creation Of a new
county, than the mere convenience of
witnesses in their attendance upon the
sittings of our Courts. This, as already
shown, may be provided against by leg
islatiou. The FIRST consideration is the
expense Of organizing and carrying on
o county government /; the next is the
ability Of the Inhabitants Of the pro-
posed new county to meet this expense.
All the new counties Of Eastern Nevada,
so far, have been born out Of season.
White Pine is now becoming populated
very rapidly its immense wealth is
also al rapidly becoming developed. It
may be to the interest Of the people
there to have q county government of
their own. If so and they desire it, We
see no reason why they should not have
it. We neither, advocate nor oppose il !;
it is for the people themselves to deter
mine the matter. The balance Of the
county not to be included in the pro-
posed new county have a right to be
heard, however, on the question Of tho
county debt. White Pine 10 o part Of
Lander and owe their proportion Of this
debt. It would not be just or fair to the
balance of the county to withdraw so
wealthy and promising a portion Of it
without some provision on tue subject
Of the payment Of this debt. This ar
ranged and the people in the new
county only would be interested in the
question. It would then become a mat
ter of mort interest to the people Of
White Pine District than TO the people
Of the county at large.-Rsese River

TaERr are occasionally queer reasons
for slecting men to high Offices. Peter
Harvey was urged for Congress in Boston
because was q friend Of Daniel Web
ster." There is q gentleman still living
who was electsd Governor Of Rhode
Island many years ago because he
jumped into the water and saved the
life Of a man. An ex-Mayor Of Brook
lyn used to tell h%umorously how he ran
when first a candidate on the "anti'
hog" ticket. The issue in those days in
Brooklyn was "hog or no hog" and il
was because of his opposition to street
hogs that the Mayor was elected.

TIE Cold EYI.-We read 10 an East
ern paper that q man recently hung, said
on the seaffold : I am a sinner / am
guilty Of tho murder charged upon me.
For one little error in my life my rela-
tiyes and friends turned upon me a cold
eye," and he wept like o child. These
few words told the mans life. He
erred. No kindly words Of forgiveness
fell upon his ear. No soft looks Of en-
couragmeent met his gaze. The cold
eye met him in his path. He fell before
it. He arose. But it still haunted him.
It was photographed in his sleeping and
waking hours. 1t stared at him from
every corner Of daily existence. 1t
drove him from the altar of repentance,
from the font Of good resolves, from the
fragrant vase Of hope. He left the free
and upright walks Of life, and ssuutered
in meditation, regrets and dependency,
in the haunts Of vice. The good had
turned against him. The bad invited
him on. He wal but . poor, weak
man. One kind word, n friendly look,
might have snatched him from the sea
of crime which led him to the gallows.
Who may tell his struggles? Who may
tell the conflict in his heart where vice
triumphed? He vas the victim Of a
cold eye. Every day repeats the story.

How TO BREAx A MULs.-Harvey
Riley, Superintendent of the Govern
ment corral, Washington, in his new
book on the mule, has the following
sensible suggestions about breaking the
mule:
Don't 6ght or abuse him. After you
have harnessed him, and be proves to
be refractory, keep your OWE temper,
slack your reins, push him round, back
ward and forward, not roughly then If
he will not do what you want, tie him
to q post and let him stand there q day
or so without food or water. Take
care, also, that he does not lie down,
and be careful to have aperson to guard
him, so that he does not foul in the har-
ness. II he will not 60, after a day or
two Of this treatment, give him one or
two more Of it, and my word for it he
will come to his senses aud do anything
you want from that time forward.

TEE LAKE COUNTY MoB.-A cores
pondent Of the Call, writing from Lower
Lake, November nth, says Of the dam
breaking and mill-burning rioters there {:
con Sunday, at 8 A. NJ, an armed
mob Of a hundred men entered the town
Of Lower Lake, arrested all the county
officers and Mr.. l.. P. Nichols, Superin-
tendent for the Water Company, a for
lorn hope Of eight men, armed to the
teeth, riding to and taking the mills,
and making prisoners Of the hands
viz three men, engaged engaged in
their usual vocations. The main body
of the rioters had now come up, making
altogether an armed force of two hum
dred men-Jesse Robinson, Captain /;
Mccall and Jake Bowers, Lieutenants.
The Captain ordered the men to remove
all wheat, -four and machinery from the
mill, stating his purpose and theirs to
lower the dam, not injure any other
property. Forty men went to work on
the dam with picks and shovels (; others
were employed in clearing the mills, in
which they but very partially succeeded.
At q quarter to 6 ?. ". o smoke was seen
issuing FROM the roof Of the grist mill,
and at half-past six both mills were a
mass Of smouldering embers, destroying
q large amount Of lumber that was on
hand, and the bulk Of the machinery,
besides placing our farmers in . desper-
ate condition if the rains this winter
render our roads impossible. That
night guards were doubled and a patrol
sent out on all the roads ; the prisoners,
poor devils, huddled together, eating
raw beef, and trebly guarded. Daylight
renewed tho work Of destruction by q
party of one hundred men, and at night
the dam and mills were things of the
past. A meeting was then called BY
Mccall, and the question discussed
whether the mob should retire that night
or wait till morning. The patrol re-
turning, and all being quiet on the Po-
tomac,' they bravoly concluded to stop
till sunrise, at which time, on the morn
ing Of the 18th, the army retired, lsav-
ing the prisoners we'll guarded by q
squad Of picked men till the main force
Of the attacking party was far on the
homo track"

From the San Bernardino Guardian Of
November 18th we Gull the annexed:
A number of horses have died here
within the past week Of q disease the
nature Of which does not seem to be
fully understood by u veterinarians.
By some we have heard 1t described as
the "black-tongue," by others as the
pneumonia, and others rs the distsm-
per, and so on to the end Of the chapter.
Several remedies have been applied to
many of the afflicted animals, but we
believe up to the present time none
have proved effectual, and the result is
that many of them have died, and others
will continue to die unless somebody
can prescribe a remedy that will check
the epidemic.

CURE FOR IS-GRowISG NAILs.-It is
stated that cauterization by hot tallow
Is an immediate cure for in.growing
nails. Put a small piece of tallow in q
spoon, heat it over a lamp until 1t be-
comes very hot, and drop two or three
drops between nails and granulations.
The effect is almost magical. Pain and
tenderness are at once relieved and in a
few days the grauulations oil 20, leav-
ing the diseased parts dry and destitute
of all feeling, and the edge of the nail
exposed, so as to admit Of being pared
away without my Inconvenience. The
operation causes little If any pain, If the
tallow Is properly heated.
