NEW LIGHT AND GOOD LIGHT

From the earliest ages Of the world
down to the present time 1t has been
quite an important object with mall
kind to produce light on all subjects,
and especially in darkness-that is to
say, by mechanical or scientific means
be able to see in the dark. 10 this
important end various expedients have
been employed, from q pitch-pine
splinter to O magnetism wire. The
cheapest and best light is the main
point still ut issue. Kerosene Is uni
versally considered excellent, and q gas
Jet extremely neat and convenient,
vet something fully as good or better,
and cheaper than either, Is still desired.
This the Pacific Pneumatic Gas Com
pany of San Francisco believe they
have attained; indeed, testimonials
from various public sources where
their new style of light is adopted
indorse them as having done so. By
their style Of light, public institutions,
theaterS, factories and even private
dwellings are supplied with 4 very
superior article Of gas, independent
Of public gas companies, at cheaper
rates and with greater convenience.
This company Is now prepared to erect
these private::gas works, under letters
patent from Alonzo G. Rand, intro
ducine the same into stores, mills,
hotels or resfdeiiceg, wherever required,
guaranteeing perfect success and salts
faction In all cases. This Is no expert
mental arrangement, but an established
fact, with ar preliminary difficulties
completely overcome. The works are
constructed wholly Of galvanized iron,
placed outside of the house, under
ground, and perfectly protected from
all possible chance Of conftagration.
No heat Is used In generating the gas,
the apparatus will last for an indefinite
period, Is never liable to get out OF
renair. and so simple that a mere child
can operate It successfully, and In three
minutes time furnish a full supply Of

FROZEN TO DEATH. - Last week,
George w. Turney, in 1854 q Secre-
tary Of quite a number Of mining COM
panies in Gold Hill, was frozen to
death while OH his way from Mountain
City to Elko. He was on horseback,
missed the road, and vas found within
four hundred yards Of a public house.
having evidently fallen of, and was
found dead, the horse standing near
his dead body. We knew MI. Turney
quite we'll, and regret his sad and mel
ancholy end. He had a wife and chill
dren living in Cold Hill, until q couple
wears AGO, but where they now are, we
cannot state-a mutual separation be-
tween the husband and wife having
been agreed upon. Poor George ; he
was a good, Hnd-hearted man when
knew him, and q most excellent
business man ; but he had that terrible,
horrible, insane infatuation, which Is
gradually destroying some Of the best
men in the State of Neyala-gdp6ltng,
and drinking to excess. Sad, sad, and
lamentable infatuation, which des-
troyy character, love, comfort, haPpi-
ness, and even life itself! There is
scarcely q sin committed so unpardon-
able.

The Anti-Chinese and Eight-hour

A. NJ. VIM, p. A. Roach, c. G. Ter

made a most violent anti-Chinese

African slave trade, advised voters to

pose striking the word white" from

passage of laws prohibiting Chinese

brings from 100 to 400 prostitutes. He
felt at times as though he could take
with his right arm a torch and burn
vessels lying at the steamship wharf.
1t was idle to say there was 10 law to

not, to vote against it.

The GovERNoRsHTP.-While at Car
son, yesterday, w heard 1t intimated
very strongly by several politicians,
that some friends Of Governor Blasdel
intend to mge him to again become a
candidate for Governor-as a eon,pro-
mise candidate. We cannot believe
that such a movement has emanated
from the Governor himself-because he
is doubtless aware that he has already
compromised" not only his own
character for capacity to be at the head
of the Board Of Examiners, in the
matter Of the notorious State Treasury
swindle, but by reason Of the damnable
crime, he has endangered the success
Of the Republican party Of this State
at the next election. We don't believe
he is a candidate on his own notion.
He cannot be on our motion. There
are ADLER men in the party-and plenty
Of them, whose names have not even
been mentioned in connection with the
office.

CARSON CITY.

We went down to Carson City n day
or two ago, to see that beautiful little
rural locality, and to iinhale the fresh
breezes of grain fields and the sweet
perfumes Of Its flowers and blooming
fruit trees. A ride ON the railroad to
Carson, too, Is one Of the most delight
full recreations for q man Of steady
habits dixie ourself, for instanceh which
can be INDUCED In just now, and We
cannot but suggest 1t. Carson City is
improving most wonderfully = and
this /, particularly noticeable to a per-
son who only visits there once or twice
a year. The Mint building, for In
stance, Is q most magnificent super
structure, not only in its interior. but
exterior finish; there being no similar
public building on the Pacific coast.
The material used in Its construction
is all of local production, the gray
sandstone in huge and well-wrought
blocks, being certainly as fine and sub
stantial material for building as can
be found anywhere. The machinery of
the Mint Is also worth = visit to ex-
amine-very intricate, curious, and
interesting. The Mint has been now
in operation about four months, and
It's coming experiments and operations
have certainly been sufficiently
tested to satisfy the public Of its
capacity to fill all demands Of
coinage, east of the Sierras and
west of the Rocky Mountains. Colonel
Curry, the Superintendent Is doing all
he can to make the Mint u success as
far as it could be expected; but he
must have the cooperation Of the
heavy business men Of the State.
More crude or assayed bullion is
needed for the Mint, to keep it in
operation as it should be, and bankers
and miners should supply it from the
millions which are extracted from the
quartz lodes and other diggings within
the boundaries Of our own State and
the adjoining Territories. We under
stand that Congress is about giving to
the Carson Mint a I" Bullion Fund" OF
half a million dollars, whereby depos.
itcrs Of bullion can within 4 few hours
obtain the coin value Of their deposits,
instead Of having to wait ten days fol
= return, as at present. The delay in
getting returns for bullion deposits ha.
doubtless operated heretofore against
the Mint, and we are pleased that some
action is being taken at Washington tc
obviate this objection. and to foster
this institution, now that the Govern
ment has gone to the expense to build
and furnish 1t.

The Cry or BosToS.--Vice-Admi-
raj Belcher Of the British Navy, and
an officer enjoyinga high reputation
for his knowledge in reference to
storms and prevailing winds at sea,
has written a letter to the London
Times, stating that he has not yet CIV
Ell up all hope Of the safety Of the
steamer City Of Boston. Admiral Bel
cher says that If the City Of Boston by
reason Of the ice-bergs, was obliged
to sail on a south-easterly course, she
may have fallen into the "horse lati-
tudes," where she Is now detained.
He cites an instance Of q transport
which was detained one hundred and
fifty days In the regions mentioned,
and believes that II the City Of Boston
has been caught in the region Of calm'
she will by means Of the trade winds,
find her way'to some port Of Florida
or the West Indies. The region OF
the trade winds extends on both sides
of the equator, to 80 degrees Of lati-
tude; between the trade winds and
the poles there are belts II degrees
broad, where Gains prevail or light
tantalizing breezes blow. This region
ON the north side Of the equator,
which had to be passed over by the
vessels with live stock abord, sailing
from New England to the West Indies,
was called the " horse ATTITUDES" In
consequence Of the large number Of
horses thrown overheard from the
failure of water and hay during the
long Gains. As another reason fol
not utterly despairing Of the safety
Of the City of Boston, it may be
stated that the name Of the vessel In.
not yet been posted up as lost a
"Lloyds," in London, and that until
such posting the Underwriters do moi
pay the insurance money due on the
policies. ...
