"A RAT, A RAT!'-An amusing in
cident recently occurred In Pittsburgh,
Pa, at a concert given by Spaulding's
Bell Ringers. A large and fashiona-
Bile audience was assembled ; the per-
formance was going on in superb style;
between the pieces the ladies cnatted
gaily, and everybody was highly de-
lighted. when In the midst oil George
Dean Spaulding's solo upon the harp,
the gem of the evening, after the Hut
ter and hum Of the audience had set
tied down into profound attention, q
Gancifully dressed young gentleman
suddenly broke forth into a series OF
frantic wells. He shrieked, screamed,
stamped, jumped, roared AMI swore as
though he were the victim of sudden
lunaSy. The audience was panic
stricken; the female protion screamed,
some tainted and a rush was made Tor
the door. Everything was In uproar,
and everybody wild with excitement,
The shrieks and yells Of the distracted
individual became more heart rendlns
with every Jump. As soon rs he could
be canght and forcibly held, it was as
sertained that his terror was caused by
a large rat which had got out Of his
hole in the parquette, and taken re-
fuce i'm a leg in the unfortunate mans
trousers. At length silence was re.
stored. and the harp solo was finished
and received with rapturous applause

THE LrNrEN SEASON.

Last Wednesday the holy season Of
Lent commenced. The Catholic reader
need not be told anything about Lent,
but for the benefit Of others We may
state that it is an ancient custom Of the
Catholic Church to observe, as a period
of fasting and solemnity, the forty days
preceding Easter, in commemoration
of the miraculous abstinence Of our
Lord when under temptation. The
term is derived from the Saxon of
lengten tide, signifying spring-as being
the time Of frightening of the day
hence the familiar word Of this period.
Originally the period began on what
Is now the first Sunday in Lent, but,
1t being found that, when Sundays, as
improper for fasting. were omitted,
there remained only thirty-six days,
the period was made by Pope Gregory
to commence four days earlier, viz. :
on our present Ash wednesday. This
name Is derived from the ancient
ceremony in the Church, recalling
the p~erishable nature Of man. 1t
is at the commencement of this
penitential season that the faithful
are reminded that they are but dust
and ashes, hence, in all the churches
on Ash Wednesday, the priest takes
the ashes of the burnt palm preserved
from the previous Palm Sunday, and
makes with them the sign of the cross
on the forehead of the people who pre-
sent themselves ut the sanctuary rails,
repeating the words, "Memento, homo,
quia pulris es, ct in pulcered, rererterfs'
Remember man thou art dust,
and into dust thou shalt return. After
the reformation in England this GUS
tom, like many other ancient and beau
tifully symbolic practices, was de-
clared as ga vain show yet the
| Church never abandoned it. The days
prescribed as Fast Days by the Epis-
copals are. Ash Wednesday and Good
Friday-the matter of abstaining from
luxuries being left to the discretion Of
those so fasting.

Doa SAVES THE LIFE OF Hrs M

A Doc SAVES THE LIFE OF HIS MAS
TER, AND PERIsHEs IN THE ATTEMPT
A gentleman living at Wauwatosa, re-
lates the following incident, for the
truth of which he youches : One day a
man went to a saloon, as was his daily
custom, to drink, and meeting compan-
ions remained with them until late at
night, when he started to 60 home.
Overcome by the liquor he had drank,
the man laid down on the railroad track
and went to sleep. A faithful dog who
followed the man stood and watched
over him, until the whistle of a loco
motive showed that a freight train was
approaching. The dog, fully aware OF
tile danger imminent to his master,
tried to arouse the drunken man, and
tore his clothes badly In the attempt.
Unable to wake the sleeper, the. dog
took the man by the shoulder and fair
~ dragged him from the track just as
the train came on. The man was
saved, but the poor dog who had so
faithfully protected his master, was
struck by the ~cow-catcher and killed.
The man the next day gathered up the
pieces of the faithful animal and buried
them. He was so fully impressed by
the remarkably narrow escape from
death, that he resolved never to get
drunk again. He ought certainly to
keep his pledge, while dropping a tear
In memory Of the faithful animal who
sacrificed his own life to save that Of
his master.

MORE MINING

The New York Times, which, in its
money article, is remarkable for very
extraordinary statements, has the fol
lowing singular Information In It's
issue Of the 2lst ultimo
The exports Of silver bullion from New
York last week vere Sll9, 800. and the week
before 8l25y6I3, This comes chiefly from
the recent White Pine discoveries, some o.
which continue to yield largely. An offer
come. from London Of 100000 for the
Auror. mine, owned BY Nessrs. Seligman
Bros, and California party, which has oesn
or will be declined. the Eberhardt mine,
the first, we believe, Of the White Pine open
inQ,, also attracts great attention on tne
othcr side, because Of its prodnetirsnss'.
This is certainly rose colored, as be-
fits the name.
The information Of the Times Is very
precisely has been or will be de-
clined,n and about the productive
nessm Of the Eberhardt-the news Is
valuable. The London papers had
numerous advertisements of Grass
Valley mines. The Eureka, for ex-
ample, is advertised capital $4,000
shares, G5 each-e2GO,O 900. The report
to the stockholders shows 2O,63S tons
worked yield of bullion, $57s,G0O, or
$27 80 per ton ; cost mining and mill
ing, 80 65; profit, $361,2l George
Batters, Esq, addressing Lieutenant
Colonel C. Napier Stuart, NJ. p, and
other trustees, congratulates them OH
having "secured" w. Watt, Esq.
We know Mr.. Watt as very estimable
and efficient Superintendent, but know
no reason why he should be "se-
cured" We can understand why q
payment should be secured "-and
we presume many connected with the
mines AN understand it also, but not
why an estimable man should be Use
cured -" unless he was mad. 1t may
be that he means Mr.. Watt accepted
employment-since it Is the custom
with reporters to use the word In that
sense. Ifa person buys a pint Of pea
nuts, he Is forthwith announced to
have "secured It." In relation to the
Eureka, there Is no doubt but that II
Is n mine of the highest value but
Notwithstanding the Major Generals
and Right Honorables did not make
the raise to buy 1t. The shares would
not sell, and the mine was not "se'
cured"
There is also advertised in the Lon
don papers "The Nevada Freehold
Properties Trust, Capital, eS40,0OO.'
This embraces "24 large, unencum
bered freehold estates In Nevada (U

The Committee Of Safety Of the Eureka
Typographical Union met Yesterday at their
rooms. They decided to give permission,
under a Suspension Of the rules, to all mem
bers TO work for sixty cents per one thousand
cms-thc reduction asked for BY the Bulletin
and CaR-to 70 into effect Immediately.
They also gave members permission to accept
employment wherever they could obtain it, /.
e., in Offices where printers are employed
who do not belong to the Union. This action
virtually suspends the functions Of the Union,
and vii! thus enable Offices employing infe-
rior wcrkmen to gradually replace them with
good ones. The Chapel OF the day hands OF
the Bulletin met yesterday and decided 70
work Tor sixty cents, commencing on Monday
next.
We would respectfully request that
the washoe Typographical Society
here in Storey County-now take some
action and reduce their scale of prices
for composition, which for years has
been eighty and one dollar and sixty
cents per thousand ems-for morning
and afternoon papers. 1t has long
been our wish to publish more reading
matter in the NEWS in order TO make
II paper more Interesting and accept
able TO its patrons, and to n certain
extent compete with California news
papers, whose patronage was greater,
but whose expenses were and are less
for type setting; but as business now
Is, aud has been for a year past among
all classes Of traders, who have either
cut us down in IA prices or have ell
tirely withdrawn their patronage, We
have beeu unable to make a better
paper than we have, because Of the
high prices charged by the Typograph-
ical Society for labor. Sixty-five cents
per thousand ems, paid In coin every
week. is a very good price paid
for day labor; and we would
respectfully suggest that figure
in behalf Of the News office. We
have paid the members Of the Typo
graphical Society a great deal OF
money within the last six and a half
years, and We desire to continue to pay
them considerable more in years to
come. But justice to IL business. and
tile welfare and prosperity Of u
establishment, demand q reduction in
the price of labor. All classes Of u
business community are cutting down
their expenses, and we are reluctantly
compelled to ask that our printers also
come down In their charges which can
only be done, however, through the
action of the Society Of which they are
members. As the Typographical So
ciety will assemble tomorrow for its
regular monthly meeting. we shall put
our application into an official form.
with the hope that 1t will meet with a
favorable response.
