PArRoNIzIxG-The Chicago Tribune smiles at
the efforts of the San Francisco merchants to
control the trade of the Great basin, and thus
refers to the metropolis of the Pacific:
Cincinnati, st. Louis, Milwaukee, and host
of smaller places, have long been seeking to di-
vert business from Chicago to themselves; and
now San Francisco steps into the ring and talks
about competing with US for the trade of Colo
rado. That city having, by the completion Of
the Pacific railroad, become one of our suburbs,
we of course, can feel no jealous toward her, but
shall be delighted to see her prosper.

" Never Mind"

What's the use Of always fretting
At the trials We shall find
Ever strewn along our pathway
Travel on, and "never mind"
Travel onward; working, hoping,
Cast no lingering glance behind
At the trials once encountered,
Look ahead, and "never mind"
What is past is past forever;
Let all the fretting be resigned;
1t will never help the matter
Do your best, and never mind"
And if those who might befriend you,
Whom the ties of nature bind,
Should refuse to do their duty,
Look to Heaven. and "never mind"
Friendly words are often spoken
When the feelings are unkind;
Take them from their real value
Pass them by, and "never mind"
Fate NAV threaten, clouds may lower,
Enemies may be combined;
If your trust in God is steadfast,
lie will help you" never mind"

An aged, gray-haired and decrepit Lothario
recently eloped from Mississippi village with a
nice young girl of fifteen, but the telegraph
stopped the couple at New Orleans. When in
formed at the police station that the old fellow
had wife and family already, the little beauty
replied :" knew that; but, you see, they don't
treat him well, and he's got the rheumatism and
the asthma, and he's got failing in the back
and You zee, sir, sorter pitied him, and he and
me concluded we'd come away ard live by our
selves.

FAST BoYs.-Every city, town and village has
what may be termed &C fast boys" Nevada City
being exceptions to the general rule, can also
boast of a few of the same class. The fast boy
is prominent institution. We propose to give
brief descriptions of him. He is between
twelve and eighteen years of age. He has been
through all of our public schools, graduating
rapidly in each one. The teachers all but
too happy to give him diploma of discharge.
He has studied grammar, especially false syntax,
in which he is well versed, and which he speak
to a charm. He has learned all the slang
phrases by heart, and if a one is coined, he
is the first to pocket it. The fast boy chews to-
bacco and smokes vigorously. He began it when
about eight years old. He uses his shirt bosom
for a spittoon, unless he can find a clean place
on the floor or carpet, in which case he some
times prefers. Tobacco juice is constantly
oozng from the corners of his mouth and run
ming down his chin, finds receptacle on his
shirt which it ornaments highly. He knows
how to take drink as we'll as the most expe-
rienced hummer. If there is dog fight in the
street, our fast boy is sure to be the first one
there. He is we'll acquainted with the dogs
knew them when they purps-can trace
their pedigree back out of sight, and de-
scribe their fighting qualities better than any one
else. OF course he knowe how to swear; he
prides himself on his oaths; close study and OBJ
servaton have made him master of profanity,
and constant practice has made him perfect in
this line. The fast boy in his younger days
might have been to Sabbath school, but if he
did, he was never known to look on his book
unless to deface it with a pencil. If poodle
dog should happen within his reach while in
church, he pinched its tail and yelp would be
the result. His stay in a Sabbath school class
would be short. The teachers would sooI be
convinced that he would do less damage on the
outside of the church than on the inside and
give him his graduating papers. The fast boy
is simply fast man in miniature. Idleness
makes the fast boy idleness makes the fast
man.-Nerada Gazette

A Cure NorIcE.-A colored firm in Newark
New Jersey, having suffered some pecuniary EN-.
barrassments recently, closed business and sent

lowing notice: De dissolution of co-parsnips

de barber profession, am heretofore resolved
Pussons who oes must pay the scriber. Dem

Use OF THE PRosouN-Our paragraph on this
subject, some time since, has excited a wide in
terest, and we agree heartily with the suggestion
that the easiest and most practicable way of
avoiding awkward and ungrammatical express
ions, numerous examples of which have been
cited, is to extend the use of the pronoun one, so
that, insted of saying "let every pupil study his
lesson" we say, let every pupil study ons' les
son. Another correspondent cites further il
lustratons.
Our good old mother tongue is not so meager
as to require the invention of another pronoun
to express our ideas. Iwould construct the SEN
tences referred to in the following manner;
every person must be judge of ones own
feelings"
''Let every boy and girl study ones own les
son.
And we might add indefinitely:
"Let each look out for ones own self.'
&C. Every person in the community should give
ones aid to the oe liberty.
There is no other proper way, as | understand
it, of constructing such sentences, and we need
no other. If it seems q little awkward to some at
frst it is only because we have so long substi-
tuted an ungrammatical form, instead of the cor
rect one. John Foster, whose style for beauty
and correctness, is a model, found no difficulty
on this subject. He was not afraid to use .he
pronoun to his hearts content, as the follow
ing example shows:
/" If one deems ones self superior mind, one
knows, of course, that in no length of time"

SKETCH OF BoSNER.-Hans Patrick LeConner
gives the following brief biographical sketch of
Robert Bonner:
Robert Dexter-King of New York Ledger and
editor of the Turf. He has circulation of 2:l5,
and can trot his mile inside half a million sub
scribers, on ten cylinder track. All the dis
tinguished writers in the country trot for his
paper. He learned the art of printing when he
was colt, and by dint of perseverance linked
with native business tact, and through knowl-
edge of the value of advertising, under the sad
die and to harness, he has in his maturity be-
come millionaire. He is perfect gentleman,
III hands high, of rich glossy color and fruit
less symmetry. He may be seen almost any day
when the weather is fine, trottng around tho
Ledger Office, or writing editorials in the Central
Park

AFTER OFFIcE.-The White Pine Necs says
almost every man in that section is candidate
for office, and so scarce are those who are not,
that on one occasion, when a six-foot Piker
came to town and acknowledged publicly that he
was not candidate, the rush to see him was so
great that he supposed be was on the point of
being mobbed, and Immediately made tracks for
tall timber, across Pogonip fat, and has not
been heard of since.

is that Napoleon lost Waterloo because be was

and the effect upon his combinations is now de-
