A Handsome and Dashing Young
Cattle Stealer Among the Pacific

SAsFOos .'..ra
The case of Susie Raper, indict-
ed by the grand jury of Elko
county for grand larceny for the
stealing Of a band Of cattle, has
been on trial for the last two days.
The court room has been crowded
with eager spectators ever since
the opening of the case. The
defendant is a woman of about
twenty nine years of age, an Aus
tralian by birth, is rather prepos-
sessing in appearance, has a passa-
BILE face, a graceful and we'll
rounded form, and good carriage.
She came to Humbolt county at an
early day, and during her resi-
dence there run many of its prom
inent citizens merry. string. AS
a coquette, she has been successful
in capturing the affection and coin
of many clever but "spoony "
chaps all over the country. She
has cheek enough to put up and
attempt to carry out any kind of a
job. Smart, bold, and Of winning
ways, she seldom missed her
mark. She can shoot a pistol like
a sportsman, ride mustang with
all the grace and dash of a vague.
ro, drive bull team equal to any
Missourian, and in the parlor OF
ball room "get away" with most
women Of style. She was arrested
on the 18th of January last in
Lander county, while attempting
to escape, and showed fight, nerve
and skill in the handling of a six.
shooter on the occasion. She was
incarcerated in the county Jail
here, being unable to procure bail.
She has husband and three boys,
aged respectively nine, seven and
five years. Several attempts were
made to procure her release under
writ of ha6eas corpus, AMI whe1
brought into court on these occa
sions, she acted as if it was fun
During this trial, she has sat by
her able counsel, rarely exhibit
aing ny concern in her face, and
in passing to and from the jail has
given up the coquettish swaggel
that generally characterizes hel
movements. When the keys were
first turned on her by the sheriff
she gave way to her emotions. ant
a flood of tears gushed freely from
her hazel eyes. This lasted but
moment, when she gave vent to
trade of abuse upon the heads O
those who bad deserted her, Afte
eloquent and able argument OF
both sides, the case was submitted
to jury at 5 o'clock last night
which after being ont two hours
returned a verdict Of" not guilty

Sensible.

Nothing in practical wisdom is
more familiar to Americans than
that a mans hands are his fortune,
aud that thee is no patrimony
better than good trade. Money,
however, sometimes turns peoples
heads so that they forget this.
The late Col. Colt was himself a
practical mechanic. BY his will
he left to his nephew an immense
fortune. At the time of Mr.. Colts
death, the nephew was learning
his trade in his uncls's shop, work:
ing diligently in his overalls by
day, subject to the same rules as
other apprentices.
On lis uncle's death he became
a millionaire; but, choosing 6
guardian to manage his property
he continued bis labor and served
his apprenticeship. Now, as hi
walks the rooms of his fine house
or drives handsome and costly
teams, he has the consciousness
that, if his riches take to them
selves wings and fly away, he is
furnished with the means of get
ting an honest livelihood, and may
make a fortune for himself.
He was a greasy mechanic, ant
is not ashamed Of it. Labor ant
its accompanying dirt are not dis
honorable nor degrading; lazines
and its almost necessary evils ar,
disgusting and destroying.
Dirty hands ard sense of in
dependence are to be preferred t,

DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF
EGas.-The sJournaI Of AgricM-
ture says, though most farmers
keep fowls ard raise their own
eggs, there are many who have
not learned the difference there is
in the richness and flavor of eggs
produced by well fed hens, aud
those from birds that have been
half starved though our winters.
There will be some difference in
the size, but far more in the quality
The yolk of one would be large,
fine colored and of good snb-
stance, and the albumen, or white,
clear and pure; while. the contents
of the other will be watery and
meagre, as in the parent fowl, to
properly carry out and complete
the work, nature had sketched.-
In order, therefore, to have gooC
eggs, the fowls shonld be we'll fed
and also provided, during the
months they arc unable to come to
ground, with box containing an
abundance Of fine gravel, that
they may be able to grind and
prepare their food for digestion. Oh
eggs, those from the domestic her
are decidedly the best, but those o.
ducks and geese may be used fol
some of the purposes Of domestic
cookery. -. ~

A word to farmers before the

out corn. Not one man in ten makes
enough corn, and not one in hund-
red has sufficiency of small grain,
and very few raise enough grass.
Until small grain and the grasses
are more literally cultivated, the
necessities of the country demand
a great deal more corn. 1t is a
mistaken idea that cotton planting,
to the exclusion of grain crops, is
the most profitable system of farm.

have made most money by farm.

corn and bacon. They not only
furnish cotton planters with those
Indispensable articles, buttrequent,
ly hold mortgages on their lands
for money loaned them.
One fact of this sort is worth a
peck of theories. If you would
prosper, plant corn, sow small
grain, and cultivate the grasses,
After these things are done, de
vote the remainder of your time

supplies, which ought to have been

Georgia Reconstructed.

This State has been RENTED

order of General Grant. She had
just a glimpse of independence

vince with satraps in epaulets for
her rulers. 1t is hard, very hard.

in good faith; she has manifested
no symptoms of disloyalty during
her probation ; order reigns within
her limits |; yet she is thrust back
with contumely and insult when
she claims a voiceiu nationalaffairs
and her civil rights as a State of
the Union. Why is she thrust
back7 Because her legislature, in
the exercise of its constitutional
right to Judge OF the qualifications
of its members, did not consider
certain negroes legitimately enti-
tied to the seats they claimed
The members who SO decided be-
longed chiefly to the Radical party,
but their views were not Radical
enough to suit leaders at Washing
ton. Georgia must swallow the
negro now, and subscribe with ba-
ted breath to the acquisitions Of
her federal task masters before she
can be released "from the peniten-
tiary of He'll surrounded with fix
ed bayonets," which the late Thad
Stevens said was the proper place
of punishment for the whole
Southern community, 1t is hard,
very hard.
