BEWARE OF BESzISE.-From the facil,
ity with which it romoves grease spots
from fabrics, this substance has come
to be regarded almost as a household
Indispensable. But few persons, how.
ever, are aware of the explosive charac-
ter of benzine, or the dangers attending
tho careless handling of the liquid.
Being one of the most volatile and in
flammable products resulting from the
dis,illation of petroleum, it vaporizss
with great rapidity, so that the contents
of . four-ounce vial, il overturned,
would render the air highly explosive.
The greatest cars should DO taken in
handling this substance in proximity to
ere, and it is important to remember
that the vapor escaping from an un-
corked bottle will cause n flame to leap
over a space Of several feet.

DoUBrFUL Observation-Disclosures Ma
son, Of our State Senate, is 8 ~jocular
kind of a man, and halls from what is
known in the Third House as the county
of Esmerora. Ho says that he emf
grated from Egypt, Illinois, where they
were never known to have q school
house or o church-all of which We
firmly believe. In a conversation which
we had with the Doctor an evening OIL
two ago, in the 0rmsby House at Car,
son City, he took occasion to tell us that
he took a severe cold in his head about
the time the Legislature met, and since
which time he was afflicted with an IN
usual deafness-so much so, in fact,
that he had great difficulty in hearing
what was going on in the Senate-Scn-
ator Welty, who speaks from tho middle
of his stomach, being the only voice he
could hear in the proceedings. Senator
-, the other day, took the Doctor
into the middle Of the Plaza, and cast
ing his eyes around, hoping that no one
else was within gunshot, asked him
confdentially what his opinion was of
several speeches he had made on differ
cnt subjects Of debate in the Senate.
"Well, Judge" said the Doctor, al
have considered you the quietest men,
Der of the Senate /; and if you made any
speeches, or said a word, I'll be id il
| heard a syllable Of it,"

SPECIFIC CoSTRAcr LAw.-The SUI
preme Cour. yesterday declared the Spe-
ci6c Contract Law of this State con.
stitutional. Debts contracted on a coin
basis, as agreed upon by the contract
ing parties, must therefore be paid in
the coin-and legal tender, as hereto
fore understood, will not answer. The
legal loophole of Sinking the payment
of honest debts, of which q good many
people have availed themselves for the
past three or four years, by cheating
their creditors out Of about thirty per
cent. Of their claims, whcn the creditor
has been compelled to sue, is now
stopped. Tho MARY Ann Company,
of Gold Hill, can now commence bust
ness again, if it has anything left.

Practical PIRTy.-There dwslt In
Maine q good Methodist brother who
wal "blsssed" with n wife Of q fretful
disposition. Being at camp meeting,
they at one time knelt together in the
tent prayer meeting. The husband felt
called upon to pray, which he did in a
deyout and proper manner He was
followed BY his wife, who among other
things said: "Thou knowest, Lord,
that l Am somewhat fretful and cross at
home" but before she could announce
to the Lord another statement, the hus.
band exclaimed "Amen truth, Lord,
every word Of it." It would be reveal
ing the secrets Of domestic life to dis
close the manner and spirit In which
the conversation vas resumed and
ended at the homo circle.

THE CARSON MINT.


We were down at Carson City the
other day, seeing the sights, ETC., and
among other attractions was the U. 8.
Branch Mint. Col. Abe Curry, the Su-
perintendent, seems as proud Of his
bantling, the Mint, as though it were q
spotted mule" and the Colonel would
not let US leave Carson without going
10 see it, which Of course We did-the
gentleman from White Pine, ex.Spsaker
Ferguson, also went along-making the
remark to Curry that he didn't care o
d-n for the building, but he wanted to
open au account in some shape with the
Mint, so that if no became hard up he
might drdp on it. There is no denying
the fact that this Branch Mint is the
most beautifully finished, substantially
and elegantly built public building on
the Pacific Coast. The exterior walls
of the entire establishment are con-
strueted of q dark yellow, compact
sandstone, as hard as granite, quarried
and blocked out from the stone.quarries
at the State Prison, mostly by convict
labor. Some Of the interior walls,
stairs, etc., are also Of tho same mate
rial, but the principal masonry work OF
the interior is Of brick. All the rooms
and Offices above the basement are hard
finished, in the most beautiful and sub
%stautial style; while the doors, win
dows, stair-cases, ws~sh-boards, ETC.. cor
respond handsomely with the other ar
engagements of substantial completeness
Tho finished building is estimated to
cost about Sl75,000 in currency. We
saw stored in the basement Of the mint,
three hundred packages of machinery
and materials, yet in their original box
es, and Col. Curry says that none Of
them will be opened until forty more
packages arrive, which nre now on their
way from Sacramento. This Mint ma
chinery was all made in Philadelphia,
except a hydraulic press, weighing 1000
pounds, which came from New Orleans.
Even the iron shutters and doors Of the
building, weighing some fourteen tons,
were brought from Philadelphia. Col.
Curry (who, by the way, had a new
title conferred on him by Andy johnson
when he helped him out of his impeach-
meut dificulty-the title being an. N.
c." which the Colonel %iuterprets as
follows: Moanness," Money" and
"Courase,") expects the Mint will be
ready to commence operations in July
next. The capacity of it is intended for
everything pertaining to the Mint bust

Comstock and White Pine, samples

to the Mint. when we left, sx-Speaker

to open a drGW account with him-but

CHANCE OF BAsg.-Wo mentioned yester.
day a that Senator Nye had resigned
his seat in Congress to take tho position Of

in the dispatches to the Sacramento Uuior

the Senator to the position Of Minister to the
Turkish Court. Should he 90 to Constants

If tho last report proves true, our old

the domestic cares and responsibilities
with his Highne,s equal to any man we
know Of from the sage brush.
