Great Scare.

A rather serio-comic accident occurred
near the depot of the V. e. T. R. R. at
the A. II. train on Tuesday. The ON
nibus packed with travellers of both sexes
had barely started off, when the double
tree broke and the frightened horses put
out for home: The passengers at the
first intimation of danger tumbled them
selves out into the unfriendy night atmos-
phere. 1t was as dark as Erebus, and
the air loaded with sand and small peb-
S, fairly howled. Our friend G.. not
less agile than skilled in the pedagogical
profession, who had perched himself on
deck, leapt to the ground, and sped
through the horrid darkness after the
withdrawing equines as swiftly as Dries
backs colt would cleave the air if Abe
would only take it away from that old
COW mare of his and give the thing
chance. But to return; fri hit, aided by
the rib-searching winds had driven the
troubled passengers SO far from fine scene
Of the break that the sound of their re-
treating footsteps were no longer audible
Greenlaw had gone: And now to tell
the truth. the boy, young Jehu' Booth,
became the sole grandee of all he could
not see.

The Dahomese ladies' might also find use
for the labels of Cologne and iair-oil
bottles, and pomade jars. What the
King of Dahomey may have suffered in
loss of dignity, he evidently made up in
elegance and picturosqueness of personal
appearance. 1t is not the worst use,
however, to which medicine bottles have
been put.

SIERRA SEMINARY.-We, yesterday, en-
joyed visit to this number one school.
We are pleased to find it up to the old
standard. The children are neat, orderly
and respectful. They evince-and we
speak of that which We do know-a very
creditable improvement. They are taught
first of all to think. This principle we
observed taking root to such an extent
that even when the lads and lasses erred
they seemed to be thinking still. The
public schools are all the talk at present
and rightly so. Their high degree. of
success is made certain. Yet in Carson
as everywhere else there will always be
found parents who prefer the associations
of private school for their children.
We congratulate sgch parents upon the
assurance that the skillful and earnest
ladies who teach the Sierra Seminary
have no idea of giving up the ship.

The Passion for Display.

The middle classes spend their in-
come in keeping up false appearance
es. They, too, must wear doVe-col-
ored pantaloons and shiny boots.
They must wear diamond studs and
seal rings, and carry young ladies to
the opera, in hired carriages at the
rate of three hours use for three
days wages. They must take a
turn now and then at billiards, stand
treat to the cocktails, bet upon their
vsracity when called in question, and
last of all, lest they should be deem
ed timid, must demonstrate their
nerve by lighting the tiger" until It
slaws the last dime out of their pock-
cts, and claws lasting scratches up
on their souls, The only safeguard
against vice is work not work a.
the slave, who works to eat and eats
to work, but work TO reach higher
plane Of effort, not only of the body
but Of the mind-work, whatever it
may be, whether for day, a week a
moKth or lifetime, honestly and
cheerfully, 81 one who expects 10
contemplate its results forever.

z4Sbits and Success.


re have already published the
r stAtement that Superintendent An
CELL, of the European and North
American h K. has notified the en-
Ployes of that road that be should
retain no one who uses intoxicating
liquors as beverage. We believe
that Michigan road, and possibly
two or three others in the country
have adopted similar rule. And
the managers of these railroads hav .
taken this position not so much be-
cause they are moved by q desire to
promote the cause of temperance, as
because experience has shown them
that IL is dangerous TO trust men &C.
customed TO use Intoxicating liquors
In positions on railways where clear
mind is required. A large proper
ton of railroad accidents are caused
by the fact that some employe set to
tend switch or q brake, or 10 run
locomotive or train, was under the
influence of liquor. Hence railway
managers will not employ men who
az oNSdStOmou W 0Eiuh u AucJ
know il.
But 1t is not simply railroad man
ayers, but nearly all business men,
who recognize the truth that an en-
ploye who uses intoxicating liquors
is not to be relied upon. Every body
knows that alcohol goes direct 70
the brain, and more or less disturbs
the healthy action of this regulator
OF human action. No matter what
young mans natural or acquired
capacity may be; no matter what
his industry may be; no matter bow
faithful he may be no matter how
high and noble his purpose-if he
falls into the habit of using any kind
of intoxicating liquors, everybody
knows he is putting an enemy into
his mouth to steal his brains, and
that the chances are be will make
first occasional missteps, and finally
go TO ruin. A few do not, but the
exceptions only prove the rule.
Hence, however lightly an employer
may talk of total abstinence, it will
always be found that be prefers to
put young men who never touch the
Intoxicating cup, into places Of re-
sponsibility. The young man OF
temperate habits not only saves the
large amount s0uandered by the in
temperate youth, but lays in his own
character the foundation OF success.
How often do we hear of business
mon failing on account of having fall
len into drinking habits. 1t is not
80 much the money squanderd by
drink as it is the time lost, and the
brain impaired.
There are young men all about
us just entering upon the active du-
ties Of life. They are anxious to
succeed in every respect. Then lei
them make it foundation principle
10 never partake of strong drink in
any form, and the battle is half won.

which grows gradually darker until
il becomes . blush red, will occur in
that portion Of the member beyond
