How che Vice President Managed 20

How rhe Vice President Managed 10
get n Double Pass.
MACK, of the Cincinnati Enquirer
writing from Washinton, tells this tale
ABOUT SCHUYLER:
l heard good and true story about
the Hon. Schuyler, which 80 we'll illus
strates the man, and so faithfully, per-
haps, the new Vice President, that l
cannot withhold it from the reading
public. Mr.. Prescott Smith, the Super
intendent of the railroad between
Washington and New York, received,
during the holidays, a long letter from
Schuyler-three whole pages-congrat--
ulating him on the management and
success of the road, and even pralsing
the rolling stock as the best OF It's
kind. Mr.. Smith was beginning to feel
very good over sach distinguished
| communication, when few lines from
the "yours truly" the milk leaked Out
of the eocoanut TO this effect. IL was
prefaced by an unpretentlous by Tue
by," but was in fact the aim and object
! of the epistle. Schuyler had been COM
ing from New York to Washington &C
companied by Mrs. Schuyler. He pre-
sented his pass, which only named his
dear little self, and the conductor re-
fused to amend it so as to include Mrs
Schuyler. He insisted on collecting
fare for the latter-whereat the Hon
Schuyler was wrathy, aud merely
mentioned the matter" to Mr.. Smith
"to call attention to this conduct OF a
subordinate" which, of course, MI
Smith would not approve" Or course
not, except that if the conductor had
done differently, he would have been
discharged. Then there was another
'by the by" which prefaced the an
nouncemeLt that the Hon. Schuyler was
going North shortly and would like a
| pass to put him through.

The New Court Costume in England

The New Court Costume ia England.
There is quite stir in England on
the subject of costume, aud the Lord
Chamberlain, after having issued his
communication to proprietOrs of the
atres in regard to the dresses of act
resses, has now, by royal order, no
doubt, turned his attention to the gar
ments of gentlemen who appear at
Court. Those who still own the hered-
itary long waiStcoat and big wig are to
be permitted to wear them till they are
worn out. The fact that they are still
TO be permitted will hardly induce any
one to order new ones. In their place
NAV henceforth be worn at levees, a
dark single breasted cloth dress coat,
with stand-up collar embroidered with
gold, white waistcoat, dark cloth trow-
sers, with gold stripe down the seam.
On drawing-room days, breeChes must
be worn, with black or white hose. Or,
gentlemen may appear at levees in silk
velvet dress coats, with gold, steel or
plain buttons, white or black velvet
waistcoat, black velvet trowssrs, black
cooked hat, and gilt or steel hilted
sword. A. drawing-rooms velvet
breeches are to be worn, with black or
white hose, shoes and gilt buttons.
There Is still to be a uniform, but 1t
Will be a uniform of some little variety,
according to the fancy of the wearer.

MAsoSIc.-The Masonic Order had q
very pleasant reunion and fraternsl
greeting among each other, at Masonic
Hall, Carson City, last night-it being
one Of the largest and finest gatherings
of Freemasons witnessed in this State.
The officers of the Grand Lodge Of the
State of Nevada were present, and a
large number of brethren from different
counties in the State. The speciality Of
the occasion was the making of a Master
Mason Of Brother Tufy, Of the st.
Charlie, Hotel, Carson City, whose cor
poral developments (three hundred and
City pounds) required a most e~Itraor-
binary amount Of outside assistance.
We are pleased to announce that Broth
cr Tufy passed through the ordeal aud
severe trials Of the ancient and mystic
Order with safety. Brother King Sol
ONION never had a healthisr-looking ap-
plicsut at the door of his Temple, seek
ing the rights, lights and benefits of
Frsemasonry, than was Brother Tuay
last night. After the Lodge business
was over, the brethren Of the Order par
took of a most sumptuous collation. in a
room adjoining the Hall, and had a
very pleasant time Of it. We are
pleased to see the Carson Lodge in such
a truly prosperous and Aourishing con-
ditiou; and We hope to see many more
such pleasant reunions Of the Frstcr-
nifty in the same place, as We witnessed
last night.

COMMISSIONER DELASo has received a
letter from Supervisor Presbury, Of vir-
ginia, announcing that the collections
on manufactured tobacco in that State
from March to September, 1865, were
$3.50, 247; and between the same months
Of the present year they amounted to
Sl,s46,67T, being IN increase Of this
year over last Of Sl,56S,43O. The
amount Of manufactured tobacco
shipped out Of the State in bond during
the six months of 1868, above referred
to, was 7,4oo,sI5 pounds, and in the
corresponding period of the present
year, 9,492,s66 pounds, or 1901 1911
pounds in excess of the shipments Of
last year. A very large proportion Of
the tobacco shipped in bond to Northern
cities to export through bonded ware
houses is there withdrawn and the tax
paid. The revenue from tobacco in the
State for n year, from March Ii, 1869,
is estimated, viii be six times as large
rs that Of the previous year.

The time for sueering at any great
enterprise requiring merely mechanical
skill, money and men, has gone by, and
as labor and capital complete one gi-
gantic work, they pause only long
enough to secure a new field for their
operations. The Mount Gents Tunnel
will be finished next year, through tho
Suez Canal a ship has just passed, and
the Pacific Railroad long ago drove
home the last golden spike that con-
nectsd two oceans. After these achieve
ments nothing is impossible, and few
things improbable.

account of an important surgical opera

It seems that the wife Of a well known cit.
izcn had for several months observed the
growing Of a tumor within the abdomen, at.
tended by a considerable accumulation OF
fluid. On several occasions this fluid had
been drawn off by tapping, but, all measures
having proved unavailing to arrest the dis
case, DR.. Beebo was applied to, and he, as
sisted by several medical men, proceeded to
lay open the abdomen and remoye the unnat-
ural growth, which, with the contained fluid,
weighed something over forty pounds. It is
said the patient has fully recovered from the
operation, though still quite weak.

THE powELL ExPRDIrIoN.

Major J. W. Powell has arrived at
Salt Lake City, accompanied by his
brother, Captain W. H. Powell, having
made q complete exploration Of the
Colorado River.
The Deseret.N ers describes the various
n o threaded by the explorers after
the loss Of their boat, namely, Canyon
of De~solation, Cataract Canyon, Narrow
Cannon, Mound Canyon, Monument
Canyon, Marble Canyon and Grand
Canyon. The latter was passed through
before reaching the Little Colorado, and
the canyon is 20 named because its walls
consist of variegatsd marbls-white,
slate, gray, cream eolored, pink, pur-
Die and chocolates, beautifully polished
by the action of the ave Probably
no finer marble can DO found in the
world than in this canyon, says the
Major. Leaving the region of the Little
| Colorado, the party entered the Grand
| Canyon Of the Colorado, which makes
three great bends to the north, swinging
around to the mouth of the Virgsn, its
general course being west; the distance
to the mouth of the Virgen River, in a
direct line, is about l4o miles; but by
che river, owing to the sinuosity OF its
course, nearly 300. The walls Of the
| Grand Canyon of the Colorado have o
granite base, the bed of the river being
granite, and they are, surmountsd by
marble cliffs; the granite base varies
from a few to 800 feet in hight above
the granite base tower marble walls to
the hight Of $500 feet. This canyon
extends to the Spanish Valley, about 40
miles from the mouth of the Virgsn,
and the party were upwards OF three
weeks in travelingsit.
The country throughout the entire
lcugth Of the river traversed BY Major
Powell is rocky, and characterized by
an almost entire absence of timber.
There is no country on its banks sus'
cep,ible Of settlement. Tho peculiar
color of the Colorado, from which it,
name arises, is owing to the washing oil
the sandstone forming Mound and Mon
ument Canyons; but the water in many
places varies, being gray, green or req,
according to the color Of the rocks In
the vicinity.

CHARITY.

In the hour Of kccnest sorrow,
In the hour of deepest woe,
Wait not for the coming morrow,
To the sad and sorrowing go.
Make it thy sinccrest pleasure
To administer relief,
Freely opening thy treasure
To assaugc q brothers grief.
Go, and Beck the orphan signing,
Seek tho widow in her tears;
As on mercy's pinion flying,
Go, dispel their darkest fears;
Seek the stranger, and the weary,
Pass not on the other side,
Though the task be sad and drcary,
Needing not the scorn Of pride.
Go with manners unassuming,
In a meek and quiet way;
Der the fallen ne'er presuming,
Though thy brother sadly stray.
IT'S a Savior's kind compassion;
IT'S his righteousness alone;
All unmerited salvation,
That around thy path has shown.
When the heart is warmly glowing
With the sacred love Of prayer,
Be thy work Of kindness flowing,
Not as with o miser's care;
Duty e'er shall be thy watchword-
Pity drop the balmy tear;
Always toward the fallen cherish
Sympathy and love sincere.
