To the Coerts.
From the Nation.


There are one or tw9oints connected
with the Greeley move,nt which these
gentlemen have perha, mot considered,
and for which we wol bespeak their
earnest attention. Grey is not found
ing, and is not likely to Ind new party.
He brings into the aren,o new principle
or idea. He defends mouse. He simply
proclaims the personal Seniority of Hor-
ace to Ulysses. The ''G,ley movement"
therefore, begins, and aust end, with
Greeley's election. administration, if
he is elected, will, andpust under the
most favorable circumstces, be period
of complete political cousion. Greeley
! himself will be wholly cupied, not with
public questions, but withe distributian
of offices among the lara band of claim
ants by which any Presi1t has ever been
assailen. He will have tatisfy the prom
inent Southerners, proment Democrats,
and prominent liberal RIblica.ns; or, IN
other words, he will ha' moro "proml-
nent supporters to satis than any OF his
predecessors. How he VI succeed may
be inferred from the fact at viii lie he vii
have no more offices to stow than any
one who has gone before m, he h as prob
ably less tact, a worse teller, less .hrmnes:
and Jess skill in dealing it'll melt. Hl'

DELAWARE IS SICK.-Mr. VIM. Dean,

ic State Committee has issued call for the
election of six delegates to the Louisville
Conventions; he has also organized a
straight-out Democratic club.
The proposed Louisville Convention
which is to be straight-out Bourbon
Democratic concern seems to gain strength
daily especially since the North Carolina
election showed that Greeley has drawn
next thing to no strength from the Re-
publican party. 1t would have whole
some effect upon the politics of the country
to have the last National effort of that
old corrupt party an annihilating defeat
under the leadership of Greeley; but it
begins to look like large body Of the
party were determined to draw off and act
under leaders of their own choice.

New York World says editorially:

~ oAChhANDhD SoMr 1 AS
New York World says editorially:
owe will frankly admit that we our
selves, although supporting Mr.. Greeley,
should be unwilling to submit the financi-
al policy of the country to his uncontrolled
personal guidance. We have been strenu-
ously combating his economic notions ever
since he came into the arena of journalism
and it would be absurd for us to profess
implicit faith in his financial wisdom,
when, in fact We have no faith in it what
ever, and never had"
The only ground that induces the
World to risk Greeley at all seems to be as
it expresses it:
"The ground of security and confidence,
as it seems to US, in contemplation of Mr..
Greeley's election, lies in his frank recog-
milton of the boundary between executive
and Legislative functions"
This, under the circumstances, is as poor
a stick as the other is a compliment.

How's That For Hiub.

We desire to call your attention to the
word high. 1t is term much used. both
by high and low, while Jack and the
game sustain intimate relations thereto.
When only one point is required to go
out, it becomes an interesting question
who is high but if the whole party is
high, the point is sometimes trouble
some one to decide. We trust that none
of our readers ever get 30 low as to take
o hand with those who get high.
High is q word that is used in various
connections, and to express various ideas.
For instance, George Washington was
high in the estimation of the world, yet
it is mortifying to reflect that common
prize fighter was Hyer. Real estate
sometimes goes up very high, but it
cant begin to go up as high as balloon
can. A valuable race horse may go for
high price, but the most worthless old
pelter in livery stable goes for hire, if
he goes at all High high cries the
fast and boisterous youth, as he endeav-
ors to pass all other teams on the high
way, and the most timid and sensitive
maiden will HE the away to my bower,
at loves low signal.
In countries where the nobility thrive
1t is considered great good fortune to be
high born. In this land of equality, how
ever, where one man is as good ms an
other, and two men are as good as half
a dozen, sometimes, we have nobility,
and 10 be high born is simply to be born
in the fifth or sixth story. To such
people it must really be a pleasure to get
down in the world In Spain noble
man of the lowest class is called hidal-
go. The higher you 60 in the scale of
nobility the higher the dalgoes.
Those were rare days when the high
born few ruled the low-born without let
or hindrance, subject only to whiin or
caprice. They rode the hige horse, in
dulged in highfown phrases (if we can
believe the romance of that period, which,
of course, we can't wrote in hieroglyph-
ic than any else ever did, eat high-season-
ed food. and drank hilariously as in
Winter they hibernated. High old times,
were they not !?
And, finally, considering the high pric o
Of composition in this Office, it is high
time that our article ON high be brought
down TO a close. We do not wish to ap-
pear high-percritical or of high-pocon-
driac turn of mind, neither would we
speak in hyperboles, or in any manner
high-pothecate our ideas, but TO the
rising generation who desire to stand high
in the world we would say avoid high
pocracy, high sters, cnltivate the high
drant rather than the beer pump, don't
make high-enas of yourselves in matters
high-meneal-in short, be high-minded

Another Ghost.

Marvellous was the story OF the mani
festations Of the spirit John McDonough
to his daughter Agnes. at Virginia City,
short time since, seemingly attested by
people Of high standing. The youth and
simplicity Of the girl discredits with
many the suspicion Of imposture. APP
propos OF that revelation, we quote the
following from The Virginia Chronicle
of the 7th inst
We have the following facts from n re-
liable source : For several days past the
dwelling house of Watty Hall, on North
b street (and, we believe, adjoining the
residence OF Mr.. Masel. where the Nc
Donough ghost is said to have appeared),
has been troubled with rocks falling upon
the roof At first it was thought TO be
the work Of mischievous boys but the
rocks continued to fall upon the roof oc-
casionally, and no boys were to be seen.
At length n man was employed to find
out the author OF the mystery, and, con-
cealing himself in an outhouse, where he
could watch the premises OF both Hall
and Masel he was not long in unraveling
the mystery. He is willing to make affi-
davit that the stones were thrown by
Agnes McDonough, as he saw herplainly
and knows her well. The supposition is
that she was trying to manufacture an
other ghost, for some purpose or other.
and had not the trick been discovered in
time she would probably have succeeded
in getting up another sensation. On the
22d of April last lady died IN the house
now occupied by Hall. and the fact
The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1872-12-14

doubtless being well known to the girl,
she would probably have called up the
ghost and had it explain the mysterious
stone-throwing had not her plans been
frustrated by the watchman placed there
to detect. OF course she stoutly denies
the soft impeachment, but the man who
detected her is thoroughly reliable and
could not be mistaken. SO fades the
McDonough ghost story from matter Of
fact to a stupendous fraud practised upon
the credulous by an artful and ingenious
girl.
