IFrom Pomeroy's Democrat.l
KINDLY REMEMBERED.


From Virginia comes the following decidedly
kind words of encouragement
FOR ouR NOBLE EDITOR.
To many freside you bring muchjo joy,
NV honest friend, NJ. M. Pomeroy.
In Southern lands. a maiden fair,
With eyes of blue and golden hair,
w 18th cheeks whereon the rose (not roueei ootn
bloom;
Teeth like pearl,
Lips tinted with the ruby's glow
"a cordial hand as white as snow,
Rings out her peals of laughter wild,
AT fun and pun,
At hits and wits,
Made by this man, with eyes 50 mild.
Near by her sits gentle spirit,
Wondering oft at this man of merit,
Tins man who (though deyiI
lIAs fled from evil;
Has braved life's dangers,
Its pillows md breakers.
Has had losses
And crosses.
And trials sad
With good and bad.
Yet triumphs he glorously, because from his youth
He has espoused the cause of the God of Truth.
For this man of Right. be this our prayer:
For workinglnen and workingwomen,
People oppressed,
Wrongs unredressed,
For the sad and despairing,
For the brave and the daring,
Long may he iiue to write words OF cheer;
And when here Earth's pilgrimage is trod,
Orer there may he in the bosom of God:

Never Again.

Hush tread lightly, for she is dying
smooth the pillow with care; brush back the
tresses from the damp forehead, aud look into
those glossy eyes for the last time. The fare
we'll is over and the lips shall speak to you
''never again" There is some one waiting
for her at the door, and she is anxious to leave
you. She is so young and fair, it seems
doubly hard to give her up, yet she will
mingle in your pleasures and share your joys
s'never again" Bow in submission to the
chastising haud and feel it's well for her to go.
Why does that gray haired sire weep? Is it
old age weeping for youth aud beauty, and
whispering to his aching heart ''she is so
young, if it had been me instead 2" All
she will throw her arms around your neck,
and press the kiss on your withered cheek
:.never again." Her smile will be wanting,
her presence known in the old home "never
again" She will not comb the few scattered
locks off your brow, or whisper father" in
your listening ear. You will not speak of
your blue-eyed darling to your friends, and
they will ask after sweet Belle no more
"Never again. will she meet you at the door,
for she has gone home to God. Lay her body
away in the silent tomb and return to your
home to see the idol of your heart never
again" Desolate ah me dreary, one con-
tinued night forever prolonged into days.
But you will go to meet her e'er long and
from her be separated "never again" You
will exchange your worldworn garments, your
withered skin and wrinkled brow for fresh
countenance, and with her be young You
will know no heart ache nor hear any signing,
or feel that loved ones are dying. Wipe away
those tears, ''for earth has sorrow that
Heaven cannot heal" and within the shining
courts on high, you shall feel unhappy never
again"

PRESERVED EGGs.-At late meeting Of
the Western New York Farmers Club, DR..
Quinby as reported by the american Farmer,
gives this method of preserving eggs. con-
sidering it timely, as the season for packing
for winter use is at hand. His practice is to
gather the eggs from the nest, and when two
or three dozen are obtained, to place them in
dish and pour scaldiDg water over them, and
Immediately turn it off. This process is re-
peated three times, by which means the al
bumen is fixed or coagulated, the pores of the
she'll closed, and the egg, as it were canned
in its own covering.
Thus prepared, the eggs are ready to be
packed away in the cask designed to hold them
for future use. Spread a layer of salt over
the bottom of the cask or crock, sufficient to
steady the eggs, aud then set them in circle.
apex downward, till the surface is covered
with eggs. Add more salt, and proceed as
before till the cask is filed.

Upon these figures Radical prophet pre-
diets these results:
Here are about IA, 900 new voters, and
we may safely calculate that about nineteen
twentieths of them will be Republican voters
What will be the effect? Delaware will be
revolutionzed; for the Democratic majority,
when none but whites voted, has not been
more than half the votes which will be handed
in by colored men. In Maryland the Demo
cratic majority will be overwhelmed by the
colored voters Kentucky, now overwhelming
Democratic, will become debatabie ground
and 1000 new votes thrown into New I York
will play the mischief with "the party" unless
the science of repeating shall be still more
extensively called into practice. We have
but little expectation. however, of overcoming
the Democracy of New York. for they seem
to have the means of recovering that State,
where they have a city in which single Irish
man can cast more ballots in a day than six
white Republicans and four negroes.
Your readers will see, by these speculations,
the true reason of the admission of Revels in
such hot haste Will the white voters of the
North ever learn that every political measure
of the Radical party has but one object in
view, and that is, to stife their voice in public
affairs

Fifteenth Amendment.

From the Washington correspondence Of

Radical members and newspapers here seem
to be much exercised as to what Maryland
will do in the matter of the Fifteenth Amend
ment. Their auimadversions upon the letter
of Mr. Harris particular y are amusing enough.
1t does not appear to have entered the heads
of these wise-acres that the Legislature of
Maryland, in point of intelligence, would, at
least. compare favorably with the present Con-
gress. The Radicals count largely upon an
accession of strength from the negro vote in
many other States which they have heretofore
looked upon as doubtful The following is

The SOFA TRADE.-Jas. Duffy & Co. are do
ing quite n respectable business in supplying
the White Pine mills with soda from the soda
mines near Ragtown. This week Whitney g.
Co. shipped five tons of the article TO Hamil-
ton. This article comes from n little lake near
Ragtown, and is concentrated from its waters
by evaporation. The lake is n curiosity, and
in former days, when the travel TO Humboldt
passed that way, was quite place of resort
Just above its highly imprcgnated waters, and
beneath the rim that encirces it. are found
fresh springs, bubbling out and trickling
down into the lake. The lake water is so
strongly impregnated with soda, and other
properties, that it is impossible for one to sink
in it, but he will float like cork. A bath in
it is pleasant providing pure water is freely
used on coming out, otherwise II will form a
disagreeable sticky coating over the body.
This lake il now furnishing soda, not only for
the mills of Nevada, but il is being exported
abroad. 1t il very superior article, being
thirty-five per cent. stronger than the manu-
featured soda.

Col. DAVID Z. BuEL.-To Messrs. Buel and
Robins the people Of the district are indebted
for the established value of the mines David
ESuel Is IA brother of General Buell. officer of
the Federal army, whose gallant deeds during
the var of the rebellion won for him name
OF distinction. Dir. Buel is favorably known
In California and Nevada He is a man of in
domitable energy, was the founder Of Austin
and Belmont cities, and is now engaged in
building up Eureka. He owns the town Site
has one furnace running and is the owner
OF the large one in course of construction, be-
fore mentioned.
The above compliment from the Eureka
correspondent Of the Chico Enterprise, is due
to the character and enterprise of Colonel
Buel. He is an old pioneer of this State, and
especially of Eastern Nevadu, which he has
done much TO explore, develop, and make
known to the outside world. Colonel Buel' =
name has become inseparably associated with
this country. The same energy which built
up Austin. notwithstanding the rivalry of its
neighbor Clifton, which developed Belmont,
and brought its mines to the knowledge of
European capitalists, is now actively employed
in accomplishing similar results for the dis
trict Of Eureka. Such men are blessing
and necessity to the country.

road from Elko to this poiht:
The road is most favorable in all respects.
Leaving Elko, we proceed on the Elko and
Hamilton road either TO Dry creek. thirty-two
miles from Elko, or to the Dutchman's Station,
fofty-eight miles from Elko. At the latter
point there is q good bridge across Hunting
ton creek. From the Dutchman's we cross
Diamond mountain. through Railroad canyon
to Diamond Station, twenty miles; thence 10
Diamond district, ten miles; thence to Cotton
wood Station, ten miles; and thence, eight
miles to this place. At Diamond Station
there Is plenty Of hay. and water is convent
ent over the whole road. ...........
You will see from the above that the whole
distance is less than ninety miles. Transfers
Just in from Carlin declare that road to be at
least one hundred and twenty miles. The
difference In distance is an important item.
Our road is mostly over n dry sagebrush
country. The pass through the Diamond
range, when a little more work shall have been
done, will present no obstacles to the heaviest
loaded teams. We have cleared out the old
track. and the road is already better than the

men at various points along the line Of the
road, and hope to have the whole line thor
oughly completed within the next ensuing for
ty days.
am afraid Elko people do not appreciate
the importance of this enterprise. The trade
from this point next Summer will be heavy
and the travel very considerable. That there
are immense mines here. do not doubt, and
they are of that kind that employ a multitude
of men and teams. The trade OF the district
is already heavy, and the present reduction
works are nothing to what the early Spring
will develop. The shipping to and from
here will, / predict, excel any district in
