above subject the New York Leader thus
e~xpatiates with much feeling and no
small degree Of evident experience
"You feel in the mood f& a glass Of
gin. You go for it. You have, per-
haps, a dollar about you. Meet q friend
just rs you are about to enter II GIN
mill, and you task him. Enter, and
he comes upon a group Of four or FIVE
OF his friends, who have just entered
aad are conversing for n moment. You
are introduced all around by your
friegd. Where are You now? With q
dollar in your pocket, and five or six
fellows on your hands, ouly one of whom
you ever saw before, and morally bonnd
by custom and impelled by false pride
20 ask them to join you in a social glass
Of gin. You can't get u Of it they
know you came in for a glass of gin, and
as your friend introduced you and didn't
invite, why you must do the honors, aud
you say you are glad to see them IAN
Internal lie, by the way and ask them
up. II you are known at the bar, all
right; if not, You have to borrow Of
your friend" That's all veil enough
as far as it goes, but the New York
Leader man apparently never lived in
Virginia or Gold Hill. Wonder if he
ever had n friend ask him up to n bar
and after taking n drink together, and
the friend said "this is mine, you
know )" wonder if he ever had to Ego
down" in his pocket and cash up for
those drinks because the disagreeable
barkeep "couldn't see it, Wonder if
that Leader man ever had ajolly personal
admirer in the exuberanceJ of his heart
ask him and half n dozen other chaps
up to drink and after the whisky was
gulped, past redemption, wonder if he
ever had that friend ~distractediy fun
BILE his empty pockets a moment and
then say, with the coolest confidence,
"never mind, it's all right you pay for
these, I'll make it all right next time
oh, that Leader man has a heapto learn.
SENSIBLE PiGs.-It has become u we'll
established, apparent fact that the nu-
merous swine running ut large in and
about Gold Hill are the most sharp
witted and knowing Of any in the whole
world. They exhibit q degree Of sound
sagacity almost human, in their daily
rounds. They generally keep out of the
main street where heavy quartz teams
are continually passing, except at night
or certain periods Of the day, when
they make their regular rounds.
Sometimes q young, inexperienced pig
gets run over, but one arrived at tho
g of discretion, never. They always
20 for . shelter when it rains or SHOWS,
and when you see them stand
with their "snoots" pointed unani-
mously toward the east, YOU can depend
upon a storm being nea ut hand. They
are more infallible in that respect than
the changes" Of the moon. Seven of
them sleeping together, with their
noses all pointed east, indicates a storm
before the next sunrise. Another estab-
lished popularity of theirs is mentioned
in the Enterprise Of this morning, where
il gives them c.edit for understanding
the blowing Of the various steam
whistles OF the mills and hosting
works MS well rs the men them
selves. When our Gold Hill pigs
hear a whistle blow they make tracks
for the place ut which it is being
sounded, and are on hand at the change
Of the shift for whatever scraps the
miners may throw from their dinner
pals. Every night they so their regu-
lar rounds, and never fail to turn out
from their nests as soon as the hrst
whistle sounds. We know OF numerous
would-be politicians who haven't got
half the natural sense that q Gold Hill
pig is born with.
The GREAT UNION SoIREE JuBiLANr.-
Next Friday evening, be it understood,
that the triumphant Union Republicans
of this section are going to have a
Grant and Colftx ball and concert at
Fort Homestead, in accordance with
published notice in another column;
This grand political soiree is organized
and arranged under the auspices OF the
loyal young men Of Storey County, IN
honor of our recent glorious victories
over the Democracy both here and IN
other portions of the Union. This BE-
ing the case, the Democracy will hardly
be liable to come and join in our
festivities over their defeat, but a gio-
rious good timo will be enjoyed never
theless. A fine band of music VIII DE
in attendance, and the famous Grant
Glee Club will also cnliyen the Intervals
between the dances with some OF their
choicest campaign melodies, national
songs, etc. Omuibuses will also ee
chartered to run every hour of the night
between Virginia and the Fort, for the
special accommodation Of visitors 70
the ball. It will be, without doubt the
most respectable, pleasing and satistac-
tory gathering of the kind ever assem-.
