The CHINESE MIND-Lord Elgin
says the Distinguishing Characteristic
of the Chinese mind is this: that at
all points of the circle described by
mans intelligence, seems occasionally
TO have caught glimpses ofa heaven
far beyond the range of its ordinary
ken and vision. II caught glimpse
of the path that leads to military su-
premacy when it invented gun-pow-
der some centuries before the discov-
cry was made by any other nation
1t caught glimpse of the path which
leads to maratime supremacy when it
made, at a period equally remote, the
discovery Of the mariners compass.
1t caught glimpse Of the path which
leads 10 literary supremacy, when, in
the tenth century it invented the
printing-press. 1t has caught, from
time to time, glimpses of the beauti-
full in color and design But, in the
hands Of the Chinese themselves, the
invention of gun-powder has exploded
in crackers and harmless fireworks
The mariners compass has produced
nothing better than the eoasting
junck. The art OF printing has stag
mated into stereotyped editions Of
CONTIGUOUS; and the most cynical
representation Of the grotesque have
been the principal products of Chinese
conceptions Of the sublime aud beau.

HON. AARON A. SARGENT.

The citizens of Carson will have an
opportunity this evening of listening
to one of the ablest and most eloquent
of the members of the 4Ist Congress,
Hon. Aaron \. Sargent. Mr.. s. is a
self made man. printer by trade, and
one of the first men ofthe Pacific coast
to raise his voice i'm favor of Republi-
can principles. OF course he has never
faltered in his loyalty to the old flag.
He comes to Nevada to participate in
the pending canvass simply from the
incentives of party principle-a desire
to see the Silver State maintain her
proud position as a loyal, Republican
and once more to plant
herself squarely upon the side of the
true and tried friends of the govern
ment in her hours of need.
During the last session of Congress
MIR. Sargent in opposing the further
continuation of the Odious income tax,
made one ofthe clearest, most effective
and instructive speeches that were
made upon that subject; and he will,
tonight elaborate his very
lucid views upon that interesting ques-
ton. He will also express his views
upon the Chinese question in all its
various phases.
We appeal to Democrats as we'll as
to go and hear Mr.. Sar-
gents facts and figures. He will make
a speech which cannot fail to be con-
to honest, earnest minds seek
ing for the truth. Remember that he
speaks at the Theater on Carson street.

what will Fit Him to be Farmer |!

A boy Is years old, who is at school, asks
us what books we would recommend him
to read, to fit him to be farmer. If our
young friend is at a common school We
would advise him to give his attention in
the first place to thoroughly mastering all
the studies that are taught there. Do not
in haste to build your house, forget to lay
a good foundation. The great trouble with
many men of excellent talents is, that they
had not the opportunities for good ele-
mentary education-the foundation-or if
they had them, they neglected them for
something more attractive. Do not let the
desire to be a good farmer, or any thing
else, turn your attention from the common
school studies. No accomplishments, or
picked up bits of science, can answer in
their place. These being attended to, then
we would advise such reading as will teach
the laws that govern the common opera
lions of the farm. One of the best books
for an intelligent boy Is Thomas Farm
Implements, which is full of interest, if he
would know the why and wherefore of
things. The first principles of Mechanics,
or Natural Philosophy, as it is often called,
are given, and their application TO various
kinds of farm work shown. We hope that
there are many boys who propose to be
farmers, and we advise them, and indeed
other boys, and the girls too, to learn the
laws of motion and gravitation, the pro-
perties of air, water and steam, ETC., as
they will not only be of great use to them
| in al mechanical operations, but make
| them more intelligent men and women.-

Stewards Store.

Edward Cropsey tells of A. T. Stewards
store, "that the average daily sales have
been: silk, S15,0 600; dress goods, Sc, 900 /;
muslins, $1,000; laces, $1,000; shawls, ST.
500; suits, ST 900; calicoes, 81 500; velvets,
$4,000; gloves, 81 900; furs, 81 900; hosiery,
5000; boys clothing, 500; Yankee no.
tions, 5000; embroideries, 81 600; carpets,
S., 500. The total average daily receipts of
the entire establishment are $4,000, and
have been known to reach Ss7 900. To do
all this business requires an army of en-
ployes. There is one general superintend-
ent and nineteen superintendent of de-
partments, nine cashiers, twenty-five book
keepers, thirty ushers; fifty-five porters,
two hundred cash-boys, nine hundred
seamstresses, and others in the manufac-
turing department (including the laundry,
three hundred and twenty clerks, of whom
a small portion are women, and one hum
dred and fifty in the carpet department.
Without particularizing further, it is suf-
ficient to state that with the extra help
often required, twenty-five hundred per-
sons are usually needed to discharge the
duties of the establishment. Such figures
were never known in the trade of single
house. 1t is because they are SO exceptional
and so fast, that / have given them. The
number of persons visiting the store in a
single day has been estimated to reach
fifty thousand, on some rare occasions,
such as opening days; the average daily
number is placed at fifteen thousand. And
this traffic is no respecter of persons; the
wealthy dame in quesL of silks and velvet,
and the poor working-w'oman in want of a
cheap calico dress, here meet on a common
level "
