SandspOuts in Nevada.

From the Virginia (Nevada) Enterprise July g.
For several hours yesterday after
noon there were visible from this city,
on Twenty-Five mile Desert, five or SIX
tall columns of sand, sucked up by as
many wbirlwinds. At sea these would
have been waterspouts, but upon the
desert they were only what we might
call sandspouts. The columns appeared
to be ten feet in diameter and one
thousand feet in height. Although
they waltzed about over the plain for
two or three hours, they never came
together or never lost there distinctive
cylindrical form, and when they did go
down they went down at once-all tall.
ing together These sandspouts are
well known to all old prospectors, and
seem TO Indicate a change of weather.
We have frequently seen in the
Forty-mlle Desert, east of the lower
Sink of the Carson, not less than ten
or fifteen of these tall sand columns
moving about over the plains at the
same time. 1t is seldom that they
come together, but when they do they
dart forward like two flashes of light
ming and an explosion like heavy blast
ends all, and the two columns of sand
at once fall to the ground. Those who
have not been upon our great deserts,
and have never witnessed these grand
sandspouts or the wonderful mirages,
have but little idea of the romantic
grandeur of these apparently uninter-
esting wastes of sand.

Inc circumstances are as follows: On

Waynesburgers at Jefferson to await a

The Old and New

Uncle John Vernam, of Livingston

expressing his views, and evidently
had some practical ideas about the
ministerial commission. Every Christ
mas he sent to each clergyman III the
village of Mount Morris a first class
ham of liberal Dimensions Some wears
ago a new preacher settled in the town
and started a new sect. When Christ
mas time came the old settled clergy
men received their large hams, but the
new apostle was favored with a small
shoulder. Meeting Uncle John he ask
ed why he gave to the brethren e'blg
ham and to him "little shoulder. !"

twinkle in his eye, "that's all right.

A Streak of IUck in n Monument

The Baltimore correspondents of the
New York tribune writes as follows:
The Washington Moument is the
work of an eminent architect, Robert
Mills, who erected also the Bunker Hill
Monument. II Is more than twenty
five feet higher, and is incomparably
grander and more symmetrically pro-
portioned than was the famous Column
Vendome in Paris. 1t is built of the
best material for memorial shafts,
white marble. Its proportions are ar
tistically perfect. The colossal statue
of Washington, although almost three
hundred feet above the level of the bay,
conveys IN plain language the story of
his surrender of his commission as
commander of the armies of the United
States. This was the first, and is the
finest monument erected to the Father
Of his Country on the continent When
we consider that the republic and the
arts were in their infancy when this
column was reared, in 1915, we are
struck with surprise that the city au-
thcrities blundered upon SO fine de-
sign.

The ENGLISH lockout.

The lockout i'll the building trade,
in London, terminated to some extent
on July 6. On the previous day a
deputatiOn from the Masons' Commit
tee met the Masters Committee, and,
after an interview of upward of six
hours, it was agreed that the working
hours should be reduced to 81 per
week, the men making up the shorter
hours during which they cannot see to
work In Winter, by working Ion, ger
hours in summer. On Saturdays they
are to leave off at II. The wages are
to be increased from 8 to 81 pence per
hour. These terms were afterward ac-
cepted by the men at a mass meeting,
although minority opposed the pro-
posal on the ground that it had not
been submitted to carpenters and join
ers. with whom they had been associ-
ated during the strike. The carpen-
tiers were most indignant when they
heard of the compromise-for so they
term the settlement, alleging that it is
neither the uine hours nor the nine
pence for which they struck-wllich
had been secured by the masons
They refuse to accept the same terms
for themselves. The result will either
be that the carpenters will accept these
terms, or that the strike will go on with
a feeling of greater bitterness.

A few days since, Mrs. Sarah Nc

of Concord township, seated herself
on a fence near her ia" RS house.
Shortly after, she felt ve.y sick and
went to the hou ,e and vomited very
freely. She disr ,bed herself for bed.
She then walked ont upon the porch
and Embossed the garments next to her
person, when out laaped large snake
Her screams brought her father to the

1T upon the roof. In the morning he
examined 1t, and found it to be of the
copperhead species, about three feet
long. Miss McNabney had no intima-

>landers on the Presidential $4,000
Bet.

'"0iS vi tHc ITeSlOent.-Ihe 1000
Bet.
From the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin. July d.
Some time since, the Long Branch
correspondent of the New York World.
wrote very ingenious story about q
slo' oOO bet made at Long Branch, be-
tween George Wilkes, of the Spirit of
the Times, and ex-Collector Murphy. of
New York. The correspondent dis
tlnctly averred that President Grant
had advised Mr.. Murphy to make this
bet, and that he, the President. had
advanced the 5000 to Mr.. Murphy
Tor this purpose. The wager was that
GRANT would be elected over HORACE
GREELEY. The spectacle of the Presj
dent OF a great nation betting on his
own election was so shockingly base
That 1t would be regar.' cd as a speci-
men OF political depravity unusual In
our annals. OF course the New York
tribune, the personal organ of .sthe
honest Horace Greeley, " greedilv copieJ
this charge and since then. this sen.
satlonal article has been going the
rounds of all the Greeley and Demo
cratic papers throughout the United
States and no doubt thousands of
voters have believed this new and in
genious lie.
1t seemed to us one of those plausi-
bic Inventions cooked up for political
purposes, and which might seriously
depreclate the President in the estima
ton of the millions of the temperate.
the moral, and the law abiding mem.
bers of the Republican party. As a
whole that party embraces q much
higher class of men than are arrayed
under the old Democratic banner of
rum, slavery and rebellion, and therefore
demands higher standard of purity
on the part of its officials. CONSIDERING
this charge which required notice, on
the l4th we addressed letter to Presi-
dent Grant at Long Branch, enclosing
to him this leaf from the volume OF
ISLANDERS circulated to prejudice his
good name, to malign his motives. and
dlstort his acts. On the 10Th we re-
celved a reply from General Porter. the
Presidents Private Secretary, from
which we copy:
The President directs me to say in regard
to that charge, that he has never in his life
made a bet upon the result of an election nor
has he authorized or advised any one to do So
He had no knowledge that any one had made
a bet with MIR. Wilkes until he read an account
OF 1t i'll the newspapers"
The New York World and the New
York Tribune and the other Democrat
&c papers which have done their utmost
to circulate this false charge about the
40, 600 bet, would show their manhood
and their decency by calling attention
to this denial from an authoritatIy We
source. We may properly remark that
this sensational article in the World is
a fair sample of, we may say literally,
the ten thousand tories set afioat to
lnIure the President and to aid in the
election of that sham reform candidate
Horace Greeley.
