A friend writing from Virginia City
alludes to the Kelly assault case at that
place, and the general conduct of the
Vigilance Committee. The following
extract is of interest:
"The facts which / have discovered
are as follows: Kelly and Leary had
some words, when Kelly knocked
Leary down and peal him. Kelly
then left and returned i'm about half an
hour, when Leary hit him a tremen-
dous blow in the neck with his fist
as he vas leaving the house. Kelly
was Knocked inSensible, and has re-
manned somewhat flighty ever since.
Now comes the sequel. Leary was
arrested and held in custody until
yesterday evening, when the Gold
Hill Justice of the Peace-Putnam
came up to Virginia to see how Kelly
was getting along. He visited kelly's
place of business and was informed bv
the clerk that Kelly twas all right,
and had been to the store that day for
four or five hours attending to bust
ness" Upon this information Leary
was released on 5000 bail. Yesterday
evening Squire Putnam had Leary re
arrested, or placed under bonds of
$1,000, which he failed to give. The
officers took the precaution to put
their prisoner in a safe place-where
he could not escape or commit sui
eide by strangulation.' This outrage
on the part of the officers has called
forth the bitterest condemnation from
the leaders of the Virginia ku kluX,
and to-day one of the Storey county
Commissioners, lah0ring under that
does after tasting it, boldly defied
Judge Rising and said it was his inten-
ton to head a band of men to night
and take Leary out and hang him, if
he could be found. Rising's reply
was that ''nOne Of his kind would
murder another mar in this county
without going over his dead body"
The present Grand Jury mean bust
ness, and some of the midnight assas-
sins are sure to he indicted. Then
will come the confiict-if not over this
Leary matter. The ..Eigies" will at
tempt to rescue their detected COM
panions, and Rising and the Sheriff
intend that the laws shall be enforced
at all hazards. Should they attempt
anything in the Learv affair. they will
get a warm reception, as Leary, l I'M
derStand, has a host of friends among
the wOrkingmen at Gold Hill"

"The Constitution as it is and the
Union as it was" became the watch
word of the Democracy years ago.
The so-called new Departure is
nothing more, nothing less, than a re-
of that sentiment. 1t is
the acceptance and support in good
faith of the Constitution as it is. To
this platform, all sensible, patriotic
Democrats everywhere, give hearty
and enthusiastic support. 1t will
bring prosperity and unity to the
country and honest men to the con
duct Of our national affairs.

number of the New York Manufac-
turer and Builder contains an excel
lent view of the intended City Hall of
San Francisco. When completed in
accordance with the designs it will be
one of the finest structures on the
continent. A contract has been made
for e%xcavating for the foundations
of the proposed building. In their
advertisement for tenders the commits
Sioners said: The statute provides
that no Chinese or Monaghan shall be
employed in doing any of the work
bid or contracted for, aud a failure to
comply with this provision shall work
"a forfeiture of the contract.''
Do the workingmen of this coast
imagine that if the authorities who
insisted on these terms, and the Legis-
lature that passed the bill, had been
of the Booth stripe that any such slip
ulation would have been made?

The Monster slaugbterp.


The fearful railroad disaster In
Massachusetts,, following so cruelty
and rapidly after the steamboat ex-
plosion in the bay of Mobile, and
that which has made one of our city
docks a haunted place and filed so
many hearts with mourning, startles
the country with an appeal that no
ear can turn away from with indifer-
ence.
Has God deserted this people, or
have this people deserted GodS
This people have deserted God.
The age is full Of the miracles Of
crime, for crime has its prodigies as
well as religion.
But how long is this reign Of sub
tile misery, of blasting sin, of whole
sale murder to be endured?
Who is that takes the parent from
his family, grabs his money at a
ticket-ofice, and then shrieks him
down the rails to death!
Who is it that gashes the fair
breasts of the nursing mother travel
ing in confidence With her child, and
breaks with burning oil and splin-
tered wood upon the dream Of a
young girl, vending from her sum
mer holdidays back to SCHOOL,
Who are these demons riding
deaths whirlwind; revelling in the
scalding midst Of steam, more terri
BILE than cholera, quicker than Gods
lightning, and who on the water and
on the land holds a carnival of blood,
and steep the people in perpetual
tears?
Is gold or greenbacks dearer and
more worthy of boarding, better to
preserve, than human life?
Which is of more weight, the life
of the man or the gain of the man2
Is machinery hereafter to be num-
bered among the plaques and pesti-
lences!
These are inquiries that must be
looked into by Government, govern
ment representing the people in
mass, and government representing
the people in cities and communities.
We must have no more wholesale
murders wrought upon peaceful, un-
offending people, or we must have
more gibbets built The one must
stop, or the other must do their
work Of retribution.
In the midst of a wilderness of
public wrongs and outrages, the
outrage done by railway and steam
boat managers stands prominent in
horrible enormity, and if Govern
ment cannot suggest remedy, the
courts must provide punishment

CANCER CURES.

RED CLOVER AND CUNDURANGo.-
CundurangO, whose wonderful yir-
tues in the cure Of cancers have been
the theme of much interest of late
is likely to be surpassed by a home
production Of a wide range. If we
may credit communication in a re-
centnumber of the Boston Herald we
need not go to South America for
can GER specific. The writer of the
communication referred to, who
signs himself physician" asserts
that ceed clover tops are a much
more reliable specific for cancer than
cundurango. If the assertions are
true, they are very important and
deserve wide dissemination. He
says:
have tried the cunduranxo in
several caes of cancer. 1t is an eff
cient Alternative, but in several cases
1 entirely failed. l have tried the
infusion of the red clover tops in ten
cases of cancer and failed in none.
1 will venture the assertion that by
means OF that unpretentious plant /
will cure more cases of well seated
canceroid deposits than eundurango
or any other remedy that is known
to the materia medica can effect /

public too strongly the wonderful

How Adam Fan.

In a small country town resides a
clergyman who is the pastor of a
small flock, who esteem him verv
highly; and whom he is very fond
of catechizing. A few days aoo.
while taking ramble through the
village, he stopped at the house of
one Of his parishioners, and after the
usual solutions had been exchanged.
the conversation ran as follows:
"Well, Mrs. W. can Won tell
me how Adam feli?9
The lady began to smile audiblv.
and finally replied: %Wby, my dear
Doctor, You are not seriousp'
every serious, indeed, responded
the Doctor.
Mrs. W, whose husbands
name happens to be Adam, replied:
"Wen, well you shall have il
Doctor. You see, Adam went to
climb over the fence, the other dav,
to go to Deacon Ms for a hottie
of whiskey, when an oar living on
the ground caught his foot; over
Adam fell, and barked his shin. and

'ewhere is the Liquor9''

On a certain occasion one Paul
Denton, a Methodist preacher In
Texas, advertised barbecue, with
better liquor than is usually fur
nished. When the people assem-
bled, a desperate in the crowd cried
out, "Mr. Paul Denton, your reTer-

only a good barbecue, but better
liquor. Where's the iquorT
"There !" answered the missionary,
in tones of thunder, and pointing his
long, bony fingers at the matchless
double spring, gushing up in two
strong columns, with a sound like q
shout of Joy, from the bosom Of the
earth. "Therew he repeated, with
a look terrible as lightning, while
his enemy actually trembled at his
feet; "there is the liquor which God,

Heroism and Cruelty.

Tell it, and hand the scamp down
to the contempt of posterity. A most
touching instance of heroism, and
of the most atrocious acts of cruel
ty, the truth of which is vouched for
by the most respectable authority,
occurred during the Columbian
struggle for independence.
The Spanish General, Morrillo,the
most blood-thirsty and treacherous
tool of the Spanish king, was created
Count of Carthagena and Marquis
de la Peoria, for services which
rather entitled him to the butcher
or hangman. While seated in his
tent one day he saw young boy be-
fore him in tears. The chief de
manded of him for what purpose he
was there.
The child replied that he had come
to beg the life of his father, then a
prisoner in MorriIlo's camp.
"What can you do to save your
father" asked the general.
u can do but little, but what 1 can
do shall be done"
MOrillo seized the little fellows
ear, and said:
Would you suffer your ear to be
taken off to procure your fathers
life?'
81 certainly would" was the un-
daunted reply.
A soldier was accordingly called,
and ordered to cut off the ear with a
single stroke of the knife.
The boy wept, but did not resist
while the barbarous order was exc
cuted.
"Would you lose your other ear
rather than fail in your purposep
was the next question.
Il have suffered much, but for nv
father l can suffer STILL" was the
answer of the boy.
The other ear was taken off by
piece-meal, without 1inehing on the
part Of the noble boy.
"And now go?" exclaimed Nor
rillo, untouched by his sublime cour-
age;. "the father of such a son must
die"
In the presence Of his agonized
and vainly suffering son the patriot
father was executed.

From the Young Folks Rural
ONLY A FARMERS DAUGHTER
BY E. r. S.

BY E. z. S.
"she is only farmers daughter"
A stylish lady said,
With a scornful glance OF her handsome eye
And toss of her naughty head.
She was frilied and hounced and furbelowed
In the very latest style;
Her head was a wonder Of crimps and curls,
And her train something less than mile.
Her hands, that sparkled with many ring,
We're shapely,and fair to view
AS well they might be, for no useful work
Were they ever allowed to do.
To hear her talk Of the "lower Glass;"
OF their sins against propriety,
OF cher family" and of "country girls"
And her horror of "mixed society"
One would think that among her ancestry,
She numbered, of least an Earl,
(Her father was once a carpenter,
And her mother factory girl.
They say she is brilliant and beautiful;
I will not their words deny,
But ali! the farmers daughter,
Is fairer, by far to my eye.
She is not in the hight Of fashion,
But is very becomingly dressed,
With founces enough for comfort,
And they look as made of the best.
The roses and lilies upon her checks
BY nature are warranted pure;
She never bought them at Hindsdale's,
Neither at Hurd's, am sure.
Mirth and innocent happiness
Out of her blue eyes shine;
Her hair is untortured by crimps or curls,
And she wears it by right divine.
Though her fingers can skillfulIy touch the
keys,
They can wash the dishes as well;
And her voice, that sings blithely at work OF
at play,
Doth charm us with musical spell.
No mother tolls in the kitchen for her..
While she on the sofa lolls,
Novel in hand, dressed in her best,
Receiving her morning calls.
A share in the heat and the burden of life
She willingly, cheerfully takes,
And duty, and love, in that happy home,
A pleasure Of labor makes.
III LiilL NiSAlJllA WAAS'S -
power
She has more than an average share,
And daily, some lessons from nature she learns
At her school in the open air.
And though you may smile at this curious
fact,
have seen her with hoe IN her hand,
While she planted the corn, or waged war on
the weeds,
When mans help was scarce in the land.
And her aOwers-well, next Summer you'll see
them yourself,
As you ride past the farm on the prairie,
And mark the home covered with roses and
vines,
The work of this Martha or Nary
And I'm sure you will say, spite the verdict
Of those
Who live but in fashions gay whirl,
That "Only farmers daughter" means
Only sensible girl
Wethe,s sfeld. III.
