QUIETING A TITLE.-At White Pine
they do things queerly and often in a
hurry. They do not squNbble and quar-
rel much, for they do not have timc. A
man might make a million Of dollars in
the time il takes to settle n small dis
pute. A friend relates tho following MS
having occurred Mt Treasure City: A
small, but w~iry.looking man located II
tent on a piece of ground and stuck out
his business sign. A big fellow rode
up on horseback and told the squatter
that the lot belonged to him, and that
the squattcr had better leave. Tho
little fellow remarked: "Just get down,
and if you can pan mo out you can have
the lot" The big fellow dismounted
without another word, and they both
peeled and pitched in. There was no
referees nor judges, but there was n
lively fight for about two minutes, and
the big fellow was whipped. He got
up, climbed to the top of his steed and
remarked to the little man: "Good
morning-the lot is yours" and rode
off. The wager Of battle quieted that
land title.-Grdss Valley Union.

THE stains Of nitrate of silver, result
ing from Photographic experiments, or
the use of indelibls ink, may be removed
by the application, first, of n solution Of
chloride of copper, and then of sulhpate
Of soda, and washing of with water. A
freshly prepared mixture, in very thin
solution, of permaganate of soda and
hydrochloric acid is better adapted to
white articles, the place to be washed
afterwards with sulphato Of soda and
clean water. This process avoids the
use of the dangerous cyanide of potas-
stun, the usual material.

GRANT AND THoMAs.-There Is no
finer story of two stern men than Grant
and George H. Thomas before the bat
tie Of Nashville. Thomas has a dis
like of being whipped, and he is cau-
tious and sedate to the last degree till
the time for decision has come. Grant
sent word to Thomas to move out of
his works and attack Hood. Thomas
was not ready, and he went on delib-
erately with his preparations. Grant
teiegraphed again: ''The country is
excited. Attack" Thomas was not
yet quite ready. Then Grant sent
John A. Logan to Louisville to be
ready to take command, and telegraph
ed again: ''If you do not attack Hood
before-date, / shall be under the
painful necessity of relieving you."-
Just at that time, THOMAS was ready,
not by necessity, but by the completion
of his affairs, aud the happy collusion
of events made the battle of Nashville
an honor to both.

His structures on tradeswomen de-
serve notice. Is there any reason why
women should not enter upon the man

to comfort or luxury, when men engage
in such pursuits, without loss of digni-

require labor which men are utterly

to apply to these pursuits the skill with
which she is endowed?
The motives which prompted this
