ABOUT NosEs.-JoaquIn Miller, in a
late prose article published in Serb
aer's, says Of noses:
As n rule, In any great struggle in.
volying any degree Of strategy and
strength, the small nose must so to the
wall. 1t may have pluck, spirit, re-
finement, sensltiveness, and In fnct,
to tho casual observer, every quality
requisite to success ; but somehow III
variably at the crisis 1t gives way.
Small noses are q failure. This Is the
verdict of history. Give me a man or
woman with n big nose-not a 5 Of
flesh, not a loose, tlabby nose like a
camel's lips not a thin, starved nose,
that the eyes have crowded out and
forced Into prominence but n full,
strong, substantial nose, that Is willing
and able to tako the lead one that
asserts itself boldly between the eyes,
and reaches up towards the brow, and
has room enough to sit down there
and DO at home. Give me q man, or
woman either, with a nose like that,
and I will have q nose that will nc
complish something. l grant you that
such n nose may be a knave; 1t may
be equally a genius; but 1t is never a
coward nor q fool-nover!

A New GAS LIaHr.-A French
chemist has discovered a light as supe-
rior to gas as gas Is superior to Its pre-
decessor, oil. An opportunity will
soon be afforded Of beholding this
beautiful, clear and healthy light, as
the officials Of the Crystal Palace Com
pany have laid pipes, placed gasome-
ters In position. aud In the course off
few days will illuminate their crystal
fountsins and a r works Of art with
the new oxhydric light; and In order
that the public may have ocular de-
m%onstration OF Its vast superiority over
gas, the lights will alternate, and then
the dull yellow haze of the Aickreing
gas lamp will become doubly so In the
steady, bright light emanating from
the other, which i 80 Intense that II
causes the flame of gas TO cast shadow
of itself on the wall it Is intended to
illuminate. This new light can DO OBJ
tanned at a much lower rate than gas ;
and 1t Is not only brilliant and clear,
but healthy. Above the issue aperture
In the ordinary gas lamp, when lighted,
there Is a dark space, surrounded by
the flame, with sparkling atoms float
Ing upwards, many Of which escape
unconsumed, and pollute the surround
Ing air, much to the injury Of the eyes
and lungs, while others that enter tho
flame lnpassing though 1t are only par
TALLY consumed, and IN tho shape OF
smoke or dust escape into the surround
ing atmosphere, to the detriment of
pictures, ceilings, or gilt frames, etc.
Nothing Of this occurs with the new
light.

WHY TwKxD's BoNDsMES WE'RE
FRIaHrRNED.-One Of tho chief causei
ofthe detection among some ofTweed',
bondsmen, and their unwillinguess tt
Justify, it Is said, Is their aversion
toward q rigid cross-examination by
tho Reform lawyers In regard to the
property which they possess. We'll
informed persons say that they dread
dlvulglng the manner in which they
hold some OF their real estate, and the
way In which they purchased 1t. A
considerable portion Of their real
estate vas bought from the city by
auction, on payment Of ten per cent,
Of the price, which was generally be.
low the maSket value. The property
vas allowed to remain In the name OF
the city, In some Instances, fora period
OF several years, and was kept In tllls
way by the owners In order to escape
the payment Of taxes OH the property.
They took It with n view of Keeping II
until 1t advanced in value sufficiently
to make 1t an object to sell 1t. If they
desired to dispose OF 1t, they could
readily get q deed from the city after
paying tho full amount OF their bill.
It Is to prevent the legal exposure Of
such transactions that some Of Tweed's
friends, It is believed, are now Sinking
from becoming his suretles.

BILL.

We notice that a bill has been intro
duced into tho Legislature OF Califor-
MIA to exempt from jury duty editors
printers, reporters aud other regular
attaches Of newspapers. 1t Is not only
a Just but Important movement In that
line, and rs such will receive the sane
tlon and active Enforcement OF tho
entire press Of the country. Not that
hero In Nevada we have anything to
complain Of in the matter. newspaper
men being facility considered exempt
even without any law enactment TO
that effect. The very nature OF their
business prevents newspaper men from
being acceptable jurymcn, for in most,
yes, all case, where they might be
called Into reputation as such they arc
necessarily alrosdywell posted asto the
circumstances Of the case, and conse-
auently have formed an opinion In the
matter, even In advance OF the general
public, who are dependent upon them
for any reliable printed account OF the
affair In question. Editors and re-
porters are constantly In receipt OF
private Information which they do not
doom good policy to publish, as a mat
ter OF Justice to the parties concerned
on either side, and upon this very sup
pressed information they have the best
of reasons for forming private and cor
rect opinions.
A~newspaper isa very arbitrary In
stitution as far IS Its regular production
Is concerned. 1t Is one Of tho inevita-
bles, like time. tide and sunrise. The
public demand and must have 1t, ut
n rate, rs an absolute necessity yet
without the requisite busy brains and
hands 1t cannot DO produced. Workers
on evening papers are confined steadily
to their work during the day. and
those oil morning papers, having been
at their arduous labors during the
night, must have the day for sleep or
rest, being therefore. as a matter Of
course. mentally and physically inca
pacitated from doing jury duty at such
n timo. So, too. with weekly papers,
the attaches havo to keep constantly
employed during the week, preparing
for tho regular arbitrary Issue upon
the specified day. The places Of either
editor, reporter or printer arc not
readily supplied by any means in case
Of either being suddenly summoned to
appear before Court, and In many
cases could not be supplied at all,
creating great annoyance and serious
Inconvenience. The bill should have
been passed years ago, and the sensible
legislators will no doubt sec the posi-
tive, Just necessity OF it.

WHAT GREELEY KNOWS ABOUT To
MAToRs.-Whsn Mr.. Greeley was at
the Minnesota State Fair, a few weeks
ago, somebody gave him a very ripe
prize tomato. weighing about three
pounds. Mr.. Greeley wrapped It in
his red silk handkerchief and placed 1t
In his coat-tail pocket. The good old
man walked around for awhile, sitting
on various benches, and finally riding
In a spring wagon up town. When lie
got to the hotel the crowd called upon
him for o speech. He went upon the
porch and felt for his pocket handker-
chief to wipe his brow. When he had
inserted his hand In his pocket n
thought seemed to strike him. He grew
red In tho face he looked mad be
swore ono Of those effective, nlnc.cor-
nered oaths which he alone can on
struct, and then pulled out his hand
kerchief. 1t was an awful mesa; and
- the venerable journalist gazed upon
1t, aud upon his fingers, he turned
away aud went to his room to think
upon suitable language In which to ex-
press his feelings. The next thing we
know there will be an article in the
Tribune entitled : "What | know about
Prize Tomatoes"
