Saturday was good. Shipments were lively to
nearly all points. St. Louis freight was refused
by a departing steamer. Rates, so far, have been
pretty well maintained, but as their will be CON-

look for reduction. During the week we will
have four boats receiving at the same time for

stocks from the receipts of yesterday. The mora

contrary TO general expectation, as they repre-
scented more active and advancing market. This,
together with the limited supply on hand, gave an
impetus TO our market but many sales were pre-

The American Artisan gives q con-
densed history of paper. 1t states that
paper did not come into use until the
thirteenth century. The first machine
for the production Of paper was con-
struc,ed in 1850, at Rayensburg, and
paper was first manufactured in Italy in
1880, in France in 1860, in Switzerland
in 1870, in England in 1888, in Holland
in 1885, in Russia in l7l2, and in Penn
s~ylyania in 1928. The number Of paper
mills now existing in the principal
States of Europe is as follows: Great
Britain, 4Os ; France, 276; Germany,
243 Austria, 70; Russia, 40; Italy,
30; Belgium, &c; Spain, II; switzer-
land, IA; Sweden, 8; Turkey, l. In
the United States Of America there are
$50 paper mills. The annual produc-
ton of paper in Europe is 1885, oo
cwt., valued at $75,o25, 900, and the
paper mills working continuously for a
whole year would manufacture 62,5oo,-
900 sheets, which if laid side by side
would extend to a length equal to that
of the diameter of the earth.

A QUESTION on MARRIAGE.-A mar
riage came off recently, within hail Of
this city, which was not exactly accord.
ing to Gunter, although the parties i'm
mediately interested were undoubtedly
mutually innocent of there being any
thing connected Herewith at variance
with the law. The parties had obtained
n license, and presented themselves al
tho residence OF o minister to be spliced.
The minister being absent, q layman
volunteered his services, to which the
wife of the minister acceded. Tho cere.
mony was duly performed, the bride and
groom given good advice, the fec paid
in a good round sum, and the happy
pair left, having in possession a mar
riage certificate duly signed. The lues.
ton arises whether this was n legal
marriage. Can q minister delegate his
powers to another in this respect2 II
so, cannot his wife (thoy being one in
the eye of the law) exercise the same
right? We conclude that the marriage
was legitimate, and can, undoubtedly,
if required, call upon that strong.mind'
ed woman to sustain the point.-Sae'

The newspaper records Of the events
now going on in Washington are being
read with universal interest, and by
large numbers with a deep and almost
painful anxiety. 1t cannot be concealed
that these events are unfortunately
studied by influential portions Of both
the great political organizations from
their party standpoiuts alone. 1t is
nevertheless true, and this is an impos-
tant fact that the adherents Of all par
ties should keep we'll in mind, that the
same events are judged BY controlling
numbers Of citizens according to the
influence they have upon the welfare OF
the country, regardless of their tenn
porary bearings upon the success or de-
feat Of parties or the individual inter-
ests Of ambitious politicians.

WHEELBARRow PRAcrIcE.-The grand
feat proposed by Ireland to trundle Do
Ian on a wh~eelbarrow from the corner
of Tenth and NJ streets to the the levee
and back, in settlement of a bet OF the
late election for City Trustee, was per-
formed yesterday afternoon, pursuant
to announcement. Preparatory, the fro
bells were rung and the grand process
sion started about ten minutes past 2
p. NJ, headed by fife and drum. The
parties in their "shirt sleeves" and n
large crowd surrounded them. The
street was thronged with vehicles, and
the sidewalks, balconies, otc., with
spectators. The vehicle was very mp
propriatcly painted green, indicative Of
the fact that Ireland was propolling, q
Feuian being propelled, and both were
very green for making any such bet. En-
route, q couple Of inebriated saluted
them with rotten eggs, of which Dolan
received one below the belt and
pnssers several at random. An ar
rest was made in this connection,
The lager to be furnished BY ireland
was on hand and distributed. Ireland
made splendid time, completing his jot
inside Of forty minutes. Had the event
resulted in any benefit to some charita'
bio institution, it might have beer
chronicled rs commendatory ; but sucl
was not the fact. On tho contrary
although foolishly, it excited hostile
feelings and led to q disturbance OF thu
peace that might have been serious

A MIRACULOUS EsoAPE.-0n Monday
evening, says the Nevada Transcript OF
March 18th, q little girl aged about nine
or ten years, q daughter of VIM. Eddy,
walked off tho bridge which crosses the
ravine leading from the Lost Hill claims,
and fell a distance of at least twenty
feet, striking between two large bould.
ers in the bed of the ~ravine, between
which there was just Don for her body
to pass. Aid wRs Immediately pro.
cured, and the little girl carried home.
On examination, it was found that nc
bones were broken, and with the cxccp'
ton of n few bruises, she was apparent
ly unhurt. Had her fall varied six
inches either way, she would in all prob
ability have been killed upon the rocks

An INDIAN BREAD DAScE.-A squad Of
Washoe squaws paraded our streets
Yesterday decked out in paint and feath-
crs, seeking contributions of small coins
TO assist them to o moro plentiful sup
ply of bread and other articles in the
"chemuck line. A shrewd recogni-
milton of the palo faces prediiectlon II
favor of sensational I" shows" q IN
duced them to appear before the public
in such shape as seemed best calculated
10 excite the admiration Of their speeta-
tors, and to that end, doubtless, they
chose for their role q performance which
may BIO regarded as the aboriginal
"Black Crook" The performers were
five in number, we believe; and they
appeared in very low necked dresses and
with arms, breast, face and neck dotted
over with little daubs Of white paint on
n ground work Of brick dust red and,
two of them at least, with very prettiiy
made head-dresses of feathers. Their
dance was o very modest one, Of the
single shuttle" variety, conducted to
the time of on instrument in n Of tho
performers hands, resembling o vegeta-
BILE baby rattle-some sort of pod mp
parcntly-which was accompanied by n
low chaunt by the entire strength ofthe
company. The squaw with the rattle
parodied the performance of "bones F"
by tho "nigger singers" and she oecu-
pied q position on one end Of tho line,
after the fashion thus initiated, while
another and very aged female was Mt
the other end, keeping up peculiar
wriggling in imitation ofthe professional
burnt-cork tambourine players Of our
| time. This festive old lady had got
herself up regardless of expense with q
painted white mustache, and by the en-
ergetic and devoted ann with which
she cuactedhe lei share Of the performance,
gained the credit of earning her full
share of tho money contributed. These
quaint troubadcrs were accompanied by
Chief Jim who was got up in a newly
constructed rabbit skin talma, and who
performed tic very essential part Of pas
| sing around the hat-or basket, rather.
The old fellow and his band OF artistes
paid his respects to the appeal office ;
and when we opened the door to witness
the exhibition, he stalked in with an air
like Bloody Nathan in the Jibbenain-
osy" when he demands, in Proctors's
guttcral accents, "shall ! have the
corn" Jim had quite a little pile Of
halves, quarters and dimes in his basket
and he informed US that on tonight,
there is to be q grand grub dance at the
Washoe campoody, about a quarter Of q
mile south of the town, to which the
public is most respectfully invited
