THE sQUIRE'S MISTAKE.
A Good Story for our Readers.

Squire Dudley was in his garden
pulling weeds in his patch of tame
strawberries, on the morning when
he took fancy for Ruth Lees pref
ty face. She came down the road
looking as fresh as a new blown rose,
IN her plain calico dress and straw
hat. Her brown hair, cut quite short,
blew about her face in little rings ,
and her blue eyes and bright cheeks
made her as pretty picture as one
often sees. Squire Dudley saw her
just as she came opposit the straw
berry patch, and he called out good
morning! ! in his brisk, CHEEKY way.
ooh. good morning. she answered.
You almost scared me, Squire Dud.
ley / didn't see you till you spoke.
pleasant morning, isn't it ? said
the Squire, coming up to the fence.
Ruth had halted in the road.
Its beautiful weather. answered
Ruth. Il told mother it was too
pleasant to stay in doors, and started
off on a visit
'Are your strawberries ripe yet p
asked the Squire, wondering that he
had never noticed what a fresh and
charming face widow Lees daughter
had before.
'Our strawberries = laughed Ruth.
'We havn't got one. Our old roos-
ter got in one day, about a week ago,
and picked all he could eat, and then
coaxed the hens in, and between
them they ruined our strawberry
CROP
Too bad = exclaimed the sympath
etic Squire. Have some of these
Ruth. They are just ripe enough to
be good
He picked some great clusters of
ripe berries and handed them over
the fence to her.
THANK you,' said Ruth smilingly.
How nice they are. Mother was
making great calculations on her
strawberry jam. She was terribly
vexed when she found out what the
hens had DONE
Tve got lots to spare said the
Squire. 'I'll send some over to YOU,
mother
Shed be much obliged to you.
said Ruth, 'if you have more thar
you want
'Plenty of them,' answered the
Squire plenty of them. Can have
them just as well as not
Il must be going,' said Ruth.
Good morning.
'Good morning. returned the
Squire, looking after her as she wen,
down the road. Il declare there aim
prettier girl in town than Ruth Lee
| wonder some of the young fellows
havn't got her away from the widow
1t l was young now
Iof Squire Dudley stopped suddenly
An idea had just flashed across hi,
mind.
'I'm fifty he said at last. afte,
thinking quite busily for some minu
tes. I'm fifty, but don't look it.
don't see why | shouldn't try my lucl
after all. Girls as young as Rutl
marry men older than l am. Tn
sure she'd make any man a goo(
wife. Her mother is one of the fin
est women in the State and She,

how to work, and be saving ant

WAR SONG FOR OUR SAILORS.

Our land, my lads, in golden mist
Is fading on the sea.
Ligh streams aloft by breezes kissed
Our pleiad of the frSe.
Gods glance has filed its stars with light,
1t bears no blot or stain.
So shall it float throughout the fight
That humbles bloody Spain.
Stand by your guns, lads,
Our watchword shall spread,
Cannon doomed, thunder tongued,
Rousing the dead.
The tempest has broken;
Let crime smitten be.
Columbia has spoken,
"LetC Cuba be free"
Soon shall we see another shore
Rise beauteous from the flood.
That land flag is dropping DER
OF lauudice splashed with blood.
Our broadsides' breath its guilt shall fold
No more to taint the air
For when the battle clouds unrOlled
Our banner shall be there.
Stand by your guns, lade
Our watchword shall spread,
Cannon doomed, thunder-tongued,
Rousing the dead.
The tempest has broken
Let crime smitten be.
Columbia has spoken,
'Let Cuba be free"
Ram home. my ladsl Columbia's heart
Throbs fast with honest pride,
AS cleaves our prov the waves apart
With Vengeance for our guide,
That from the womb of tyranny
Shall newt born freedom spring,
And from our shores shall slav'ry flee
On swift departing wing
Stand byyour guns, lads
Our watchword shall spread,
Cannon-boomed, thunder-tongued,
Rousing the Dead
The tempest has broken;
Let crime smitten be.
Columbia has spoken,
ssLet Cuba be free.'

IDastardIy Outrage.

We have received, says the Phoebe
Record Of February 9Th, the particulars
from 4 source Of unqueStionable credi-
bility, Of a bold and ~dastardly attempt
three or four days ago, to violate the
person of a young girl, IA years Of age.
The occurrence took place In Panaca
Valley, near Rose. The daughter Of a
DOC aud respectable widow, who was
employed In a family near her moth
er'S, went, with u still younger girl, to
a candy-pulling party given at the
house Of one Of the %nei2hbors. Re-
turning a little after dark, they de-
serted, rs they approached home, the
form Of a man. which quickly disap-
pcared In the shadow OF some eedars
among which their path led. When
they reached the point where the man
was first seen, the older girl WAS seized
by one OF her legs and dragged down
and under a tree, beneath which the
villain had concealed himself. He
tried. by clapping his Land over her
mouth, to prevent an cutlery. but she
gave several loud shrieks before he had
made a success Of this part Of his dia-
bolical programme. which, with the
faantic yells Of her young companion,
as she ran, attracted the attention Of
those within the house, who hurried to
the spot. arriving in time to prevent
the rutlian from accomplishing his
hellish design. The victim, being In
feeble health, received such a shock to
her nervous system that it was neces-
sary to have watchers at her bedside
all the ensuing night. AS might have
been expected, the affair created in
tense excitement In the section OF its
occurrence, and II the perpetrator had
been caught he would certainly have
been lynched. There are still hopes
Of capturing him.

We learn from the San Francisco
Chronicle that II. Schussler, engineer
Of the Sutro Tunnel, has presented a
communication to the Board Of Super
vi,ors, embracing a plan, with draw
ings and diagrams, for connecting that
city and Oakland by railroad. His
plan IA to have a tunnel under the bay
from Rincon Point to Goat Island and
In a straight line into the Alameda
shore. He proposed to have a shaft
sunk at each Of the points indicated to
4 depth Of from l50 to 200 feet, and
drifts run in each direction until they
meet ; the tunnel to be 25 feet wide In
the clear and % feet in hight, for a
double track, a feotpath and drain
along the bottom and to be arched
with brick from two to three feet In
thickness. The aggregate cost OF the
tunnel necessary to put it In working
order is estimated at from 81, 900, 900
to s. 900, 900, and the time required
for the work from three to four years.

ouR LEGISLATORS.

Both branches Of the Legislature at
Carson did good and important work
Yesterday. In tho Senate, bills were
introduced to provide for the support
Of the Nevada Orphan Asylum, and
to prohibit State and county officers
from charging mileage when travelling
on free passes. The bill for the relief
Of the Rhoades bondsmen was passed.
In the Assembly Senator Cassidy's
resolution relative to postal telegraphs
passed. A message from the Governor
announced his approval Of the bill for
the relief OF the widow Of Matt. Pix
ley. Bills were also introduced APP
propriating a regular annuity Of q, 500
toward the support Of the Nevada Or
phan Asylum ; also to elect all the
Virginia City officers BY popular vote.
Now this last Is an excellent idea,
which we hope to see adopted in Gold
Hill municipal affairs hereafter, In the
election Of Town Marshal especially.
Any Office Of any sort Of importance
should be an elective one. As to the
Nevada Orphan Asylum appropri-
alton, we have already expressed our
appreciation Of 1t, and hope to SEQ 1,
pass, as a matter Of simple justice to
those who have acted as true mothers
to the State orphans so many years, as
well as to the orphans themselves.
True charity looks directly to the OBJ
ject to DO benefited, and Is not influ-
enced by unworthy ~sectarian preiu-
dices or narrow-gauge views on the
subject. In passing the bill for the
relief Of the Rhoades bondsmen, the
Senate performed an e~minently just
and commendable act, which will meet
with the approval Of all right-thinking
men throughout the State, as we'll as
everywhere else. and we doubt not
litt lHC <hSscuioiy WI oii"ii'uAVuS'y
sanction it. Let Justice be done, and
never fear any resultant falling of the
heavens. The members Of the present
Nevada Legislature, although there
are not among them such brilliant
lights as have distinguished former
Legislatures, will still bear most favor
able comparison with the average run,
and in point Of good, sound, practical
sense, have thus far proven rather
above the average. We hope to see
them keep up this gratifying status Of
excellence to the end, by a continuance
Of honest, sensible legislation. By so
doing they will merit the respect and
commentator Of their constituency,
and We will partially forgive them for
electing Jones to the United States
Senate.
