GoISG TO HIS HoNE IN TIE STATES
Joseph Temple, a resident Of Virginia
City, broken down in health and ad-
vanced in years, a few days ago started
from that place for his home in the
States, being well provided with money
in the shape Of checks on New York by
his brethren of the Masonic order, who
also paid his fare and engaged that he
should be cared for until he reached his
destination, as his mind was not sufi-
GENTLY clear to admit of his looking out
for himself. He started on the train all
right, but vas put off during the alb
sence from the car in which he had been
left of the person in charge of him, the
conductor being ignorant of the circum-
stances attending the case, and only
knowing that Temple did not have q
ticket. The old gentleman got on a
freight train and by It was brought to
the city, arriving the same night. Yes
terday morning he went to the depot
and asked for his baggage, but this had
come down on the passenger train and
been taken care Of. When the passen-
ger train arrived ut moor he was again
10 attendance at the depot, and was ar
rested by officer Biderman, who sus
pected from his actions hat he vas
insane. He was taken to the station
house, where the officer in charge, who
could not understand Temples condition
from the account he gave Of himself,
was about to lock him up for safe keep
ing when a messenger of Wells, Fargo
4 Co.'s, who had been searching for
him, came and placed him in safety on
the San Francisco steamer.-Sae. Union

ASS
A German boy, named Frederick
Rehm, son of Mr.. Charles Rehm, Di-
rector of the New Jersey Musical insti-
tute, in Cedar street (near West Hobo
ken), Hudson City, committed suicide
about 10 o'clock on Saturday night, by
banging himself to a low iron bedstead,
on which he slept. The deceased, who
was l6 years of age in March last, was
in the employ Of Mr.. Bolmer, in the
jewelry business, New York, was repre-
scented as Of q sprightly and mischievous
nature, possessed of a considerable mu-
steal talent, often taking the lead in the
band of cadets under bis fathers train
ing. From the evidence 1t appears that
Frederick came home and retired early
to his bed, in the hall adjoining the rear
parlor, 10 order to be up early, antici.
pating q great deal Of pleasure in cele.
brating the Fourth with his numerous
young friends.
He was away all day, except .at din
ner, aud again, about 5 o'clock, he
stopped at the house and told his step
mother that he was going to see the
fireworks. Mrs. Rehm told him that she
WAS going 10 her brothers and would
leave a light standing on the piano, 10
the back parlor. About 1890 o'clock
that night Mrs. Rehm returned home,
and found thar Frederick had entered
the house, but, being unable to arouse
him, returned to her brothers to spend
the night. About 1890 o'clock Mr.
Rehm came home, and raped at the
front blinds, but, receiving no response,
went around to the rear piazza and
raped several times to awake his son.
Not succeeding, be forced the blinds,
and, taking the lamp from the piano, he
entered his sons room, and there saw
him sitting undressed on the floor, by
the side Of the bed, leaning forward,
with a strap used for school books, and
containing n patent buckle, around his
neck, and the end attached to the iron
bedstead. He unfastened the buckle
and found that life was extinct. De-
ceased wal at the fireworks with some
Of his companions and was in good
spirits. One Of them accompanied
Frederick part way home ut half past
nine o'clock, and made m engagement
to visit him at his house yesterday
afternoon. The jury, at the inquest be-
fore Coroner White, yesterday, rem
dered q verdict that Frederick Rehm
came to his death by strangulation, and
that he did, Of his wi free will and
aforethought, put q strap around his
neck and tie it to the bedstead, and that
no committed suicide for some cause I'M
known.-N. y. Times, July 9Th.

ARGESrIFERoUs GALENA.-0ne Of the
most valuable u Of wealth in
the State Of Nevada, within q very few
years, will be its argentiferous galena
mines-mines consisting Of silver, lead,
and anthony. There are several local.
tiles where these metals exist in large
quantities-the Galena District, in
Washoe county ; the New Truckee Dis
trict, not far from the Central Pacific
Railroad, about twenty-five miles west
Of Humboldt Lake, and the galena
mines Of Oreana, about forty or fifty
miles above Humboldt Lake. A great
deal Of bullion will come from these
mines within q few years. Last week
about three tons of argentiferous gale
ma, in q crude state, was shipped from
the new furnace, or smelling works, at
Galena, to San Francisco for reduction.
If the reduction process is successful
at the Bay, hundreds of tons of bars
and pigs will be shipped there within
q year.

READY-MApE FOR EITHER SrDE.-A
man from the country walked into the
office Of a lawyer the other day, and
began his application
"Sir, I have come to get your advice
in q case that is giving me some
trouble"
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Suppose now," said the client,
"that a man had one spring of water
on his land, and his ~neighbor, living
below, should build a dam across the
creek through both farms, and it was to
back the water up into the other mans
spring, what ought to be done? p:
"Sue him, sir-sue him by all MEANS"
said the lawyer, who always became ex-
cited in proportion to the ~aggrayation
of his clients. "You can recover heavy
damages, sir, and the law will make
him pay we'll for it. Just give me the
case, land I'll bring the money from
him."
"But STOP" cried the terrified appli-
cant for legal advice "it's l that have
built the dam, and it's neighbor Jones
that owns the spring, and he threatens
to u me-"
The keen lawyer hesitated O moment
before he tackled his ship and kept on
"Ah! we'll, sir, you built dam across
that creek. What sort of n dam was it,
sir 2"
at was q m~ill-dam."
"a mill-dam for grinding grain, was
itT
eyes, it was just that"
"And it is a good neighboring mill,
is it 2"
$50 it is, sir, and you may we'll say
So"
"And all your neighbors bring their
grain to be ground, do they 2"
ayes, sir, oil but Jones'"
"Then 1t is a great public convenience,
is it not"
"To be sure it is. would not have
built It but for that. 1t is so far SUI
perior to any other mill, SIR"
"And now" said the old lawyer,
"you tell me that the man Jones is COM
planning, just because the water from
the dam happens to put back into his
little spring, and he is now threatening
to sue you. Well, all have to say is,
let him sue, and he'll rue the day, as
sure as my name is Dobbs."

Mr.. James T. Brady has a head as large

wore very small hats, but they bad
brains somewhere, as all will admit.
Perhaps their brains lay mostly in the
crown Of their heads, or perhaps the
brain substance was unusually compact.
Byron's brain, though not large super
6cially, weighed several ounces more
than the average.
