FINE SENTINENT.-In Augustin Da-
ly's famous sensational play Of Under
the Gaslight, performed by Proctor's
excellent dramatic company at Piper's
Opera House, the following beautiful
sentiment Is uttered by Laura Court
land" the heroine Of the piece: ''L.st
the woman you look upon be wise or
vain. beautiful or homely, rich or poor,
she has but one thing she can give or
refuse-her heart. Her beauty, her
wit, her accomplishments, she may sell
to you; but love is the treasure with
out money and without price. She
only asks In return that when you look
upon her your eyes shall express a
mute dsvotion-that when you address
her your voice shall be gentle, loving
aud kind. That you shall not despise
her because she cannot understand all
ut once your vigorous thoughts and
ambitious plans; for when misfortune
and evil have defeated your greatest
purposes, her love remains to console
you. You look upon the trees for
grandeur and strength; do not despise
the flowers because their fragrance is
all they have to give. Remember,
love Is all that a woman has to give,
but it Is the only earthly thing which
God permits us to carry beyond the
grave"
GREAT FUN AT SMvER-SAcH RACE
AGAINST TIME.-They had lots Of fun
Yesterday afternoon down at Silver
City, In the shape of a sack race against
time. 1t took place in the hall or un-
finished upper portion of Louis Hell
ser's saloon. Peter Brown bet $50
cash that he could run, travel, tumble
or otherwise 60 twenty-five times
arou.o( the room, making in all a dis
lance Of about half n mile, III ten
minutes time, tied up in a sack reach
ing to his neck, and only two feet
wide at the bottom. Taylor, n carpen-
ter, bet $50 that he could not do It,
putting up his watch against the
proposition. Brown Is an adept ut
this style Of racing, but such q rate Of
progress Is not bad for n good walker
on a clear road. with no sack to bother
him. As might be supposed, this race
afforded u huge amount Of fun for the
spectators. II Is not yet decided as to
who won
