PERSISTENT ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE
Why 4 Young boy, rot over ten OF
twelve Years of age-onc who is
well carci for by his bat too indul-
gent parents, and who is or appears &c
be surrounded by comfort and
INDUCED in every pleasure conducive
to youthful happincss-should make
repeated efforts to destroy his own
life, is something that astOniShcS US.
liut when we see three or four Suci,
boys making such attempts in a small
community like this, we are astound-
ed. Nearly every day soine one or
more small boys may be seen crawl
ing up through the scuttle-hole of the
uOnle of the State Capitol, about 100
feet above the ground. and climbing up
the steep and smooth tin root from
the >cuttle to the base of the flagstaff,
u distance OF six or eight feet, and
there cliugiug to the smooth moulding
with which the pole is surrounded,
until they can attract the attention OF
dozen other youngsters passinga along
the streets. Some day Gf this thing
isn't stopped somebody's boy will
take a slide of that cupola and coue
down on the ridge of one of the wings
ker-wailur. a distance Of As feet;
thence. III a Scu~eiess condition., he
will 20 whirliug down the steep ROOF
to the caves a distance of y feet. and
from there will drop to the ground
below. a dist ance of 81 feet, and will
become a mass of sausage meat stuffed
in clOthes-and everybody Will Won
der why one 50 Young should have
committed suicide by jumping from
the cupola Of the Capitol!
SPAERISG.-Iesterday morning a
son OF the Emerald Isle entered an up
town restaurant and told the Teutonir
proprietor thereof that Mr.. Rice, SUI
perintendcnt of the Mint. had sent
him there TO hoard. and that he was
under engagement TO work in the
Mint for his ''fricnd' Rice. The res
tauranter, being anxious to do the
agreeable by one on such familiar
terms with Mr.. Rice. flew around live
iy and gave Mickey a tirst-rate break
fast. Before dinner time arrived, how

newspapers 'a>certaiucd that Mike was
a blk. that he WAS not working at the
Mint or anywhere else. and that he
was merely floating around on the
surface uf the OCCASION After awhile
Mickey walked i'll for his dinner,
when Louis told him he couldn't have
any unless he put up and that he

that he had one and would pay for
both breakfast and dinner as soon As

but then. although

SILVER CITY.-A correspondent at
Silver City informs us that that town
is down on the dull list since the Hope
mine shut down. The mine was to
have been sold Yesterday, and will
probably start up shortly. Major
Williamson, formerly of Empire, has
leased the Silver House, and is run
ming it on the best epicurean plan,
his two charming daughters presiding
over the table d'hote. while our old
friend Abe RiclIev presides over the
~hydrostatic department.
THE E>CAPEs.-The Warden of the
Prison assures us that the escape
of Ryan and Flynn was known to the
officers Of the prison two hours after
it occurred. 1t is barely possible that
our Spectacles are not properly adj
luSted. We are assured also that the
convictS named have been re arrested
and are nOw in some Jail, in irons, and
may be expected here Saturday night.
beng the case, We can see no
good reason for any great amount of
secresy and so much myster!ousness.
