The VIRGINIA DIsAsTER-THE YER
DIcT.-The inquisition into the cause Of
the explosion at Virginia resulted in the
following verdict by the Coroner's jury:
We the jvry summoned by Mr.
Holmes, Coroner of Storey county, to
appear before him at the city of Virginia,
Storey county, Nevada, to make due in
vestigation into the cause of the death of
Jacob l.. Van Bokkelen, j. P. Smith and
William D. Davis, being first duly sworn,
on oath do find from the testimony that
the deceased Van Bokkelens true name
was Jacob l. Van Bokkelen, native of
the State of Alabama, aged Sc years; that
deceased Smiths true name was John
Prescott Smith, native of New York,
aged 43 years; that deceased Davis true
name is William D. Davis, aged "a years,
born in the State OF New York, and that
they came to their death on the 29th day
OF June, 4 D, 1873, at the city of Vir-
ginia, Storey county, Nevada, by an ex-
plosion, which we believe from the evi.
dence was occasioned by gun cotton sat
urated with nitro-glycerine, in the rooms
of the deceased Van Bokkelen.

business there he hal strong premo-
milton that something was the matter ut

he determined to run down to Phila-
delphia in the next train. In the mean

ter hns Just arrived. Hannah is poorly.

was tolerably comfortable, he returned

said about the dispatch, his mothcr-in-

received 1t. The day after his arrival
the lines were fixed, and that night he
received n dispatch from the telegraph
Office dated that very day, and convey

drove furiously to the house and scared
his mothor-in-law into convulsions by
rushing in in frenzy, and demanding
what on earth had happened. He was
greatly relieved to find that there were

how the mistake occurred. But lie Is

1t Was Such Fun!

A Peruvian officer, stationed on board
a man-of-war lying in Callao harbor

and devoted Peruvian wife, and both
were devoted to each other, but both
uureasonably jealous. An American
officer, fond Of practical joke, and a
great fayorite with husband and wife,
conceived very clever trick, as he
thought, to break them Of their un-
founded jealousy. He caused note
to be sent to the wife that her husband
was in the habit Of going to certain
street and number, and asking at the
door for n Signorita Mercedes, each
week, on such day and hour. He also
had an anonymous note sent to the hus-
band TINT the wife was seen weekly
going at the same day and hour to
such street and number and asking
for Signora Mercedes. It was a
large dress.making establishment, but
never patronized by tho wife. Secur.
ing in some way the aid Of a servant OF
the establishment, he awaited the
"fun," MS he supposed. The wife, true
to her womanly curiosity and jealousy,
came first, closely yelled, and in o
trembling voice, said, "Signorita Mer'
cedes," aud was shown into IN ante.
room. The husband, few minutes
later, and punctual to the hour speci.
fed, presented himself ut the door and

went home arm in arm, happy and
ashamed. But tho friend who had

Preserve The Forests,

Tho Importance of forests to the
health and prosperity Of n country has
acquired fresh prominence from IN in
ternational discussion Of that subject
which has lately taken place in Vienna;
and by representatives Of various coun-
tries who had given the question caro-
ful study IL was unanimously conceded
that tho rain supply was largely depen-
dent upon the preservation Of troes.
So many practical proofs were brought
forward that it was almost impossible
to doubt.
Some years ago Upper Egypt had
only FIVE or six rainy days in the course
Of o year, but the Pasha planted mil
lions Of trees, and the yearly average is
now forty.six rainy days, by which the
country has been incidentally benefited.
The country about Trieste has been
made pretty thorough test. Once 1t
was fertile, but the forests were swept
away, and barrenness soon followed.
Since then, however, millions Of olive
trees have been planted and carefully
reared, and now productiyeness has ro-
turned. Many other similar instances
OF the most convincing character were
brought forward, and formed the basis
OF resolution recognizing it as tho
mutual duty Of all civilized lands to
preserve and cultivate the forests, un-
der certain conditions.

Earil,auakes IN 1873.

In January of the year 1873 IN Garth.
quake at Soonghur, in Barodies, East
Indies, did great damage and killed
!, 800 persons. On the third Of Fcbru.
ary there was n convulsion in the old
Isle Of Samos, destroying lives aud
property. In March occurred the pow.
erful shock which prostrated the city OF
Salvador, in Central America. The in.
habitants, knowing the nature and his
tory Of that ground, took refuge in the
open country and so escaped. In juno
the sub.Alpino country to the north Of
Venice felt the movements OF terrc.
muoto. The California and Oregon
earthquakes took place on the 22d oi
November. Considering the damage
done on the surface by those monitors,
IL is pleasant to think That the hot cen
trail mass which produces them is grow.
ing cooler by degrees, and thus losing
its virulenoy, and TINT earthquakes may
yet be as obsolete as the mastodons and
aeinoiheria. But, rs the change will
require time, since the hardening Of oul
upper crust has already taken up, as VT

years, the consideration can hardly bt
very consoling after all, save to thosC
whose expectations are Of the most san
