MARK TWAIN As 4 REPORTER.

In his new lecture, Mark Twain gives
the following account of his reportorial
experience in Virginia City, Nevada.
We copy from the Chicago Tribune :
Quito unexpectedly, he received an in
vitation one day from newspaper in
Virginia City, with which he had been
corresponding, to come and be n reporter
on that journal at a salary of S25 Il week
in gold. He went, and remained three
years. The life of reporter was described
in the following terms
reported on that morning newspa-
per three years, and it was pretty hard
work. But | enjoyed its attractions
Reporting is the best school in the world
to get n knowledge Of human beings, hu-
man nature and human ways. A nice,
gentlemanly reporter mako no refer
ences-is treated well by everybody. just
think of the wide range of his acquaint-
anceship, his experience of life and socie-
ty. No other occupation brings n man
into such familiar sociable relations with
all grades and classes of people. The
last thing at night-midnight-he goes
browsing around after items among po-
lice and jail-birds, in the lookup, ques-
tioning the prisoners, and making pleas
ant and lasting friendships with the worst
people in the world. And the very next
evening he gets himself up regardless of
expense, puts ON all the good clothes his
friendS have got, goes and takes dinner
with the Governor, or the Commanders
inChief of the district, the United States
Senator, and some more of the upper
crust Of society. He is ON good terms
with all of them, and is present at every
public gathering, and has easy access to
every variety Of people. Why, break
tasted almost every morning with the
Governor, dined with the principal cler-
gyman, and slept in the station house.
A reporter has to lie little, of course,
or they would discharge him. That is
the only drawback to the profession. -
That is why ! left it. | am different from
Washington; have higher standard
of principle. Washington could not lie.
| can lie, but | pOnt. Reporting is fasci-
mating, but then it is distressing to have
to lie so. Lying is bad-lying is very
bad. Every individual knows that by
experience. l think that for a man to
tell II lie, when he can't make anything
by it, it is wrong"

DON'T WEAR SOCKS.

A good story has como to our ears and
we wish we could tell it as it was told to
us. The story concerns "socks" and q
Senator, or rather a sockless Senator
This is how it happened: a few weeks
ago crowd of Senators and Assembly,
men were travelling on the steamboat
between San Francisco and Sacramento.
The crowd was rather lively, and much
by-talk was indulged in concerning the
personal peculiarites of individual Sena-
tors and Assemblymen. "Do you know"
remarked the Mariposa Assemblyman,
that Senator Blank is very independ-
ent man, although he is n politician and
belongs TO political party. He votes
more as he thinks is right than to sustain
party measures. He is very Independent ;
he is so id Independent that he don't
wear socks. You may not think it, but
he does not wear socks. I'll just bet you
five dollars that if you can get him to pull
off his boot that his foot will be bare"
Assemblyman No. 2 expressed a disbelief
of the assertion of the Mariposa Vulcan.
No. could not conceive of Senator who
did not wear socks. He went to the SEN
ator and the two went to the bar of the
boat. If anything will put man on
confidential relations with another it is
taking n drink together. That is the
power in liquor which the Temperance
people will never successfully combat.
The drink being taken and having warm
ed his imbbers into confidential chat, AS
semblyman No. 2 remarked, Senator,
Mariposa says you do not wear socks /;
excuse me if l take the privilege of ask
ing you if Mariposa is correct" " He is
right" replied the Senator; 1T is not
the custom in my part of the State to
wear socks" "Well, Pm astonishod," )"
said No. 2 " but we can play that Mari
posa man. He wants to bet me five dol
lars that you don't wear socks, and III
take the bet. You go up into my room
and put on one Of my socks, and I'll take
the bet, and then you pull Off the boot
and Wen catch him." The proposition
was agreed to and the Senator's foot was
duly socked. Soon a large crowd of states
men gathered again at the bar, and sever
al drinks were taken. In the crowd was
the Senator, the Mariposa man, and As
semblyman No. 2. The last mentioned
raised the sock question, as the same APP
piled to the Senator. No. 2 offered to
"take that little bet" which Mariposa
had not long since offered to make. Mar
posa was pluclly and sure of winning.
The coin was put up, and it was demand
ed that the Senator unboot there and then
and in the presence of these witnesses" !"
Another drink, to give the Senator cour-
age to overcome his native modesty, was
taken. He pulled of his boot and disclosed
a-bare foot. "D-d if he hasn't got
the boot off the wrong foot ~ exclaimed
Assemblyman No. 2, "and I've lost the
bet ! Let's take another drink p'-GraSs

A New CONTRIyANCE FOR FIRE En-
CINE HORSES. The Rochester Democrat
says that by a contrivance Of the engineer,
Seneca Dobbs, of steam engine No. 2, OF
that city, saving of about three minutes
is accomplished in the hitching of the
horses to the engine and hose cart in case
of fire alarm. A cord from the sleeping
room leads down into the stable, and is
attached to a movable door in front of the
stall, the hay rick and oat bin being at
the side. In case of fire alarm the cord
is pulled, the stall door opens and the
horses rush out and take their places, the
engine horses on each side Of the pole,
and the hose cart horse in his position.
1t is a race between the men and these
intelligent animals to see who can get to
the post Of duty first. The horses gener-
ally win.

HEAT OF WINTER RoOMs.-The in
vestmont Of fifty or sevonty-dve cents in n
thermometer will make paying returns in
health before Spring. The great tenden-
cy in Winter is keeping rooms too warm.
The foundation Of pneumonia, pleurisy
and pulmonary consumption is frequently
laid in oyerhcated, ill-ventilated apart
ments. The inmates become accustomed
to breathing hot, close air, the system is
toned down and relaxed, and a slight cx-
posuro to wet and cold rcsults in serious
illness. Some years since we called ono
Winter evening on friend whom wo
found in II cosy sttlng-room with n large
cast-iron stove, n low ceiling, and the
heat ranging about the eighties. Sho
was suffering from II severe cold, but
could give no account Of how she took it.
a month latter she was prostrated with
pneumonia, and she and her sister died
within II week Of each other, and were
buried in the Same grave. The ntelli-
gent use Of n thermometer would, doubt
less, have saved both Of those valuable
lives. The mercury in the tube should
never be permitted to stand above seven
ty. If that temperature is not sufficient
to give warmth it is an indication that tho
person does not take sufficient exercise,
and the cure for it is more miles and
more flannel. In the coolest weather,
when the ground is like stone under feet
and there is no drip from the caves, when
snow lies on the roof, rooms should bo
ventilated. Pure mir should be admitted
through open doors and windows, so that
the oxygen consumed by flame and by
respiration may be replaced, and the ef-
fete and poisonous matters thrown off by
the body thoroughly driven off. AS ono
Of our best writers on household science
remarks, ventilation is question Of dol
lars and cents. But how much wiser he
is who chooses to pay large coal bill and
enjoy fresh air in his Winter sitting room
than he who keeps everything shut up
that heat may not be lost, and has long
doctors bill to settle in the Spring, and
mNyhap grave to cut through the frozen
turf.

DARwIN's MAN.-Clarke in his COM
mentaries upon the old testament asserts
his belief to be that the serpent who
tempted Eve was not Il serpent, but q
monkey, and places the foundation o.
that belief upon the facts that the He.
brew word of the original text mean.
both monkey and serpent, that the being
who talked to Eve stood upright, and
that the monkey, although formed in
every respect to walk like "A human being,
runs on its hands and feet, and "eats the
dust of the earth"
A further illustration of this theory oc-
Cured on Howard street lately. A ven
cradle looking organ grinder, accompa-
MED by an active little monkey, dressed
in red, was patiently turning out his di-
lapidated melodies for the benefit Of q
couple of servant girls, when he was sud
denly surrounded by group Of school
children, boys and girls, who at once
became devoted to the monkey. The
latter, seeing an apple in the hands OF
one Of the boys, suddenly ceased his gam
bols, and snatching the fruit, ran nimbly
up tree just by.
The boy cried and his companions
laughed, while the Italian alternately
swore at and coaxed the chattering thief,
but in vain, until at last the monkey OF
his own accord, came swiftly down and
springing in front Of IA pretty little girl
with long curls, deftly took of his jaunty
little cap and, bowling politely, handed
her the apple.
Now, that monkey knew very well that
the pretty little descendant of Eve had
no right to the apple, and of course could
only have been actuated by the "apple "
instinct he had derived from his great
ancestor of the Garden Of Eden fame

THE SIZE OF THE UNIoN.-It is said
that there is only one man who has cor
rect idea of the size of the United States,
and he is the man who drove a yoke OF
oxen in 1S50-51 from Maine to California.
However this may be, the newspaper re-
mark that few people realize the i'm
mensity Of our territorial area," is true.
There are in the great West eleven Ter
ritories, two or three of which are twice
or three times as large as all New Eng
land and it is small Territory that is
not at least ten times as large as Massa-
chusetts. Colorado is thirteen times as
large as Massachusetts,, while Dakota and
Arizona are half as large again as Colo
RADIO. The eleven Territories as accurate
ly as can at present be ascertaned, con-
tain over one billion and quarter of
acres Il ,236, 1886, ,9l9), exceeding by nearly
two hundred thousand square miles the
aggregate territory of all the present adj
mitted States of the Union. The Terrific
ry of Alaska, containing 1868, 1928, 600 acres,
is included in the number of acres stated.

AN example of the i'll effects resulting
from the use of tobacco has recently been
brought to notice. In Virginia Mrs.
Chloe Flatford, of Fredericksburg, be-
came addicted to the use of tobocco at an
early period of her life, and the habit OF
smoking and chewing became so strong
with her that she was unable to comfort
ably exist without its indulgence. Fo1
one hundred years this misguided wo-
man continued the daily use Of tobacco,
and only gave it up at her death, which
occurred when she was lis years old
This sad case shows how long bad hab-
it, once acquired, will sometimes cling to
a person.

AMUSING CALCULATION OF CHANCES.
1t is easy to show you, reader, that five
hundred years ago the chances were ten
thousand to one that you and | would
as exhibited in only two or three genera
tions, we shall be astonshed and Mortified
at seeing how narrowly we have missed
having being. For instance, my grand
father was n soldier in the Revolutionary
army for six years, and repeated ly exposed
to death. On one occasion, when his com
pany was engaged by plotoons, he was
the only survivor of two different attacks.
Now, if he had fallen in any Of those
attacks, he would not have married my
father would not have been born, and
myself would have bad no being. Again,
my father paid his addresses to u certain
young lady and was engaged to her. Just
before the time appointed for the mar
riage, misunderstanding arose between
them, all ties were dismissed and my
father married another woman-tho same
woman who has since done me the honor
of being my mother. Now, if my father
had married the first mentioned lady, |
never could have been born, rs her child
rem never could have possibly boon my
mothers children, and my mother might
not have had any children at all. You
see, therefore, that mere lovers quarrel
may change the whole line Of family
for thousand years. In fact, if Miss
Smith is courted by both Jones and Jen-
kins, it is for Miss Smith to decide (as she
certainly has the powero Of doing) whether
she will be the ancestor Of ten thousand
Joneses or ten thousand Jenknses-lor
on her choice depends the very existence
or non-existence Of the possible descend
ants. The whole subject is 50 full Of IA
talism that the only thing we can do, after
once getting into existence, is to shout
with the Arabs /: Allah is Allah What
is to be, will be" "-E2kton's Autobio9-

Mr.. GOODWIN, residing in Long Island
City, is said to have a remarkable pig
family. Eighteen months since he raised
litter of two pigs. To-day one of them
weighs about 800 pounds, and the other
only eight pounds. Another remarkable
fact in connection with this pig family is
that the latter eats as much as the large
one in fact, he eats two or three times
as much as his own weight every day.
The little pig seems healthy and slick
and bears the same resem blance to the
hog family as other pigs, except in size.
