D1sINFEcTANrs IN VIRGINIA CITY.-The
Territorial Enterprise, of December 1lth,
says:
These smallpox times there is much talk
about town in regard to disinfectants. Men
are going about the street with vials of car
holic acid and other diabolic Installations in
their vest pockets, which they from time to
time smell at, rub npon the palms of their
hands or sprinkle upon their clothes. A
SmeIl of coal tar, camphor. creOsote, chloride
of lime, gin, garlic, asaf9tida. turpentine,
snuskrat- peppermint. and skunk. pervades
the moyiag MASS of humanity upon street.
and Instead of curb-stone brokers we have
eurb-stone doctors-all with vials uncorked
and exchanging opinions and smells. Where
half dozen Of these walls OF wrath are un-
corked. the efluvium for some rods about is
worse than the odor from prosperous slaugh-
ter house in dog days. Then these pestifer-
Gus pest dsinfectant disseminators are not
content to keep their internal compounds
to themselves; they take devilish delight
in disinfectng all their friends and acauain-
tances on the sly and without their knowl-
edge and consent Yesterday one of these
cSfb stone Samaritans poured about an
ounce Of some Internal mixture down the
coat collar Gf leading G street merchant,
being determined to disinfect him. Shortly
after our merchant smeit leak of gas, and
started out to hunt it up. Up st irs and
down cellar he hunted, but it smelt about as
strong in one place as another, and finally
in despair the puzzled dealer in dry goods
sent boy for Mr.. Kaneen. of the Gas
Works. The gas man smelt the leak as soon
he came near the merchant, and together
the two hunted over the premises for the
break in the pipes, and perhaps would have
been hunting till now if the gas man had not
caught Mr. Samaritan trying to pour some oi
his earbolic acid dawn the back of his neck
These curb-stone doctors, with their disin.
fectants are getting to be a nuisance, calling
for the Interference of the city authorities
they are enough to throw the whole popua
tion iato the putrid fever.

THE OLD SOLDIERS REWARD.


I saw, beyond the years to be,
An old man bending low
Above n book-a history
Of glory and of woe;
His pale lips moved without sound,
He neither sighed nor smiled.
And one thin arm was twined around
A sunny, silent child.
Page after page he read and turned,
And many pause made he,
As if the meaning was Injured
In some dim memory;
For though the deeds he read were wrought
By help of his right hand,
They came as slowly to his thought
AS from the spirit land.
Ny boy" he said, at length, 8. this pags
Must have been writ for me:
just remember it an age
Ago it seems to be.
"A sergeant took the flag aud ran
A rod before his men;
My boy / was that very man;
1 see it all again.
=" And here The horses all were killed,
And every man but one;
The grape-shot failed he quickly filed
A gun with pebble-stone
And fired point blank below the smoke
Into the rebel line,
And thinned it SO it turned and broke
My boy, that shot was mine.
"Again They rushed through mist and
rain
Up to the clear blue sky;
The wounded hushed their groans Of pain
As 'twere a JOY to die.
So near to Cody lay that night
Beneath the stars that stood
High over Lookout's silent height,
Reflected in my blood.
" And here, and here I never thought
My deeds would find pen,
only for my country fought
Along with other men.
1t must have been because I took
No thought Of History;
The generous man who wrote this book
Has put down much for me.
''Tho hills, my boy, white with snow;
feel the creeping cold;
| hear another bugle blow
Than that l heard of old.
1t calls me L must go-good-byel
The book has paid for all -
And then he bowed without asigh
And answered to the call.

GENTLEMEN: The watches manufactured by you
have been in this railroad for several years
by our enginemen, to whom we furnish watches AZ
part of our equipment. There are now some
THREE HUNDRED OF THEM CARRIED ON OUR LINE,
and we consider them GOOD AND RELIABLE
TIMEKEEPERS. Indeed, have great satisfac-
ton in saying YOUR WATCHES GIVE US LESS
TROUBLE, and have worn and do wear much
longer without repairs than any watches we have
ever had in use on this road. As you are aware ws
formerly trusted to those of English manufacture,
of acknowledged good reputation, but as class
they never kept time as correctly, nor have they
done as good service as yours.
In these statements am sustained by my prsds-
cessor, Mr.. Lewis, whose experience extends over
a series of years.
