TOLERANCE. - Some Of the things
kept secret by the reticence of Govern
ments toward the governed, read very
strangely in the light of later days
When George ~. was Regent, the
Russian Minister at st. James lectured
him OH federation" And the Re-
gent is said to have answered "wisely
and with spirit" that liberation might
be very well in Russia, but would not
do in England. What federation ex-
listed ut that time In Russia rested on
the insignitlcance of the tolerated, and
did not go very far, But England has
learned that whether it will do or not,
it is Inevitable; and, like most inevi.
table things, it disproves the prophe,
cies both of those who feared and
those who desired 1t, doing neither the
harm party deprecated, nor all the
good the other expected. Man Is moi
entirely the creature Of circumstances
but is a perverse animal, thriving o
falling from inherent o than FROM
external conditions. The Russian
Government has in later years, ant
especially In regard to the Hebrew,
and the Poles, shown that she, too
needs featuring. No doubt, If the Sc
crets of diplomacy could be published
che world would find that she has re
ceived it. But Governments, espe
cially dynasties independent Of tn,
governed, are slow in relinquishlnt
old traditions.

SINGULAR AccIDENT.-About eighI
O'Clock Saturday evening, Protection
Engine Company No. 2 brought theil
apparatus to the corner Of Fourth ant

placed in position and the suction pipe
lowered. When the cover was taken
off strong smell Of gas become appa'
rent, but not paying much heed to this
fact, one of the men held a torch In
the mouth Of the clstern that 1t might
be seen whether the suction vas well
placed. AS he did 30 the gas which
was rising from the cistern took fire.

DOMESTIC LIFE.

Among the unsolved problems of
civilization, nom appeals more di-
rectly to the heart, or involves more
important interests than the question:
Of our domestic family life. The home
was evidently intended to be the shrine
Of the most sacred affections, the place.
Of rest from toll, of retirement FROM
publicity, the spot in all the world
where we may throw of disguise, abb
jure conventionalities, and suffer our
better natures freely to develop. Butt
the demands Of modern society are sol
rigorous that few, wen Of the most in
dependent among us, actually ~realize|
in any considerable degree the real
blessings Of the domestic fireside. The|
hurry, anxiety and pressure of theI
outer world penetrate into our homes,
changing them from abodes Of rest to-
those of severe labor and carping care,
The anxiety to make money abroad iI
not more fevcrish than the craving to|
spend 1t at home, and the energy that
might In other channels make home al
haven Of pure and sacred enjoyment Isl
too often employed in eager efforts to-
compete with others in show and ex7
pense. Every h~ousekeeper knows how
large an amount of manual labor Isl
involved In our present style Of living
The various appliances for saving this
labor are exceeded BY the increasing
demands for 1t. Highly ornamented|
dwellings, costly furniture, rich up-|
holstery and luxurious tables require
constant attendance and supervision
and, when we add to this the making
and care Of fashionable trousseaus, the
natural and artificial wants of chill
drcn, and the claims of hospitality and
social life, all Of which often press Oh
those neither fitted by natural ability
o special training to fulfill them, we
cannot wonder that they are so imper-
fectly performed. The conscientious
sink discouraged at the greatness of
their task, and the thoughtless devolve|
It upon others who may lack both abil-
ity and interest to execute 1t. With
those of more limited means, the
same evils are liable to prevail. Though
there Is less labor, there are fewer
hands to 10 1t, and too often domestic
life consists mainly in a struggle to
sppear a little richer than the truth.
Emerson, In a recent work on Society
and Solitude, treats this problem IN
his own quaint and powerful manner.
He says cit Is a sufficient accusation
Of our ways Of living, and certainly
ought to open our ear to every good
minded reformer, that Il idea Of do
mestic well-belng now needs wealth to
execute 1t. Give me wealth, says the
wife, and your house shall not annoy
your taste nor waste your time. On
hearing this, we understand how these
-=eans have come to be so omnipotent
on earth. Tie afrssssss that this depend,

No REpUDIATIoN.-Tbere Is proba-
bly, no country in the world where the
authority for the creation of debts for
future generations to pay is so unlim7
ited, or in which public sentiment Is
sounder rs to a full payment, as In,
this. No man, in or out Of office,
having the least self-respect or hoping
anything Of public favor, ventures to
hint such a thing as reputation. That
is a sentiment happily fast dying out.
The repudiating counties of Iowa a
few weeks ago received notification
from Federal authority that the bonds
issued in aid Of railroads must be paid.
The United States Court has told
them plainly that the people of the
counties and municipalities concerned
"must abandon all hope Of escape
from payment Of these bonds" "They
must be paid, and the officers of the
Court will be sustained by the power
of the Government. This decision has
attracted little attention at the East,
but it is really of considerable conse-
~quence. 1t marks M stage Of q long
standing ease of conflict of authority.
but whether it will be the final stage
it is yet impossible to say. The case
Is briefly this: The counties voted to
issue the bonds In question to secure
the completion OF a railroad. The
road was built, but before that time
the people had become sick of their
bargain, and not only retracted their
agreement, but elected county officers
pledged to refuse Issuing the bonds.
The case went into the State Court,
where the action Of the counties was
sustained An independent suit was
brought In the United States Court,
and the counties were directed to issue
the bonds. The officers still refusing
10 obey the mandate of the Court,
were arrested and punished for con-
tempt; but Notwithstanding this, they
have hitherto resisted the efforts to
compel them to comply. The matter
has since been reopened and tried
anew, with the result which has been
already noticed.

a OF N. A. h. BALL.

DEATH OF N. A. n. BALL
One of the saddest duties that has
ever devolved upon us in our editorial
capacity we are now called upon to
perform, In announcing the death this
morning, between 8 and 8 O'Clock,
of our much beloved townsman,
n. A. H. Ball, after IN illess Of about
four weeks. Deceased was so gen.
orally known among all our people in
Western Nevada, 50 universally be-
loved by them all, that we need
scarcely attempt to write a word of
praise upon his truly Christian life,
which was disinterestedly devoted to
the amelioration Of the suffering, the
public interest and the education and
training, In the paths of Christianity
and goodness, Of the children and
youths of this vicinity. Oh! how sad,
how heartrending, how sorrowful, to
lose such a kind friend, such a teacher.
such a leader, such a brother, SUCH a
NAN n CITIZEN! The day has never
happened In Gold Hill or Virginia
City when so many children and grown
people have shed more tears Of sorrow,
when their hearts have so swelled in
deep emotion, as when it was an
nounced this morning that their kind
friend and ,neighbor had passed from
life unto death!
But our kind friend, neighbor and
brother has gone to meet his reward in
another and a better world! To meet
ut the foot Of the Cross Of the Lamb
of God many of the dear little children
whom be so delighted to meet on the
Sabbath in the Sunday Schools here
and in our neighboring cities and
towns, and to point out to them, by
solemn prayer, by instruction, and by
happy song of praise, the true paths
to love, to obedience, to virtue and to
Heaven. How joyful, how happy, how
melodious must be his greetings of
welcome by the bands Of little song.
sters who learned their sweet melodies
through his kind instructions and
attentions; many inquiries, perhaps,
being made about father, mother,
sister, brother-and when they, too,
are coming?
MI. Ball, when In life, was a man Of
decided marks leader in business, in
politics, In public enterprises, and a
great leader In musical societies, in
Sunday and everyday schools. ST..
Johns Church, in Gold Hill, Is one of
his conceptions, a model brick struc7
ture, which stands rs q monument To-
his memory and a sacred tabernacle Of
divine worship. The three Public
Schools in Gold Hill are evidences of
the enlarged interest which he always
felt In the cause Of Education and pro
gress. Personally, wehave e afterwards
the deceased the affections and love of
a brother, and a true friend-for whose
advice and kind assistance for almost
seven years past, we feel a debt Of
gratitude we cannot express. He felt
o pride and an interest In the NEWS
almost equal to ourself, and its success
Is partly to be attributed to his kind
ness, i~ntercessions in obtaining sup
port and assistance in patronage and
influence. The Church, the Sunday
school, the common school, and the
printing office, were the pride and in
terest Of his life. We hare no one in
this community eho can yfn the place IA
