royal entertainment night before last to
some of his numerous friends in Carson.

n attendance, and until the, second hour
after midnight had arrived, discoursed
oewitching music to the delight of al
ana especially to the charm of those who
lid not take part in the dance The
bounteous repast was prepared with so
much taste aud served in so elegant a
manner that none others could expect to
profit by emulation than those who ar
accustomed to the like. An ''old bach. =
friend of ours ate SO heartily of the good
things generally, and of an inimitable
chicken salad particularly, that he shud-
ders now under the apprehension of al
increased eating capacity and fears that
the restauranteurs may raise the price OF
board on him. The ladies were charm
ingly dressed and looked admirably well.
The gentlemen in their ''claw hammer"

A New BANKING GAME was started yes

A New BANKING GAME was started yes
terday among the boys-not the ''boo-
hoys"-on the pavement in front of
Fred. Grinnage's barber shop. The
bank is made of brown colOred paste
board with holes at the bottom edge
marked respectively /, 3, 2, 4. This
paper bank is held near the side of the
house by the banker, while the boy that
''bucks," rolls q marble from the outer
edge of the pavement at the holes, get
ting the number of marbles indicate. by
the figures if he goes through, and losing
the marble lie rolls if he hits the paper
between the holes. If he misses the
paper altogether, that is called tizzle
and of no effect. A crowd was assem-
bled around couple of boys engaged IN
this game at the time and place men
toned, and seemed highly amused-es-
pecially the sports-at the way in which
it was conducted, and especially. at the
language used by the young chaps. The
s'bucker' claimed at one time that he
had made No. 3, and wanted three
marbles for pay. A part of the crowd
agreed with him and took up his case
which caused the young banker to ex-
claim: 50 You outsiders dry up! If l
swindle Jones that s nobody else's bust
ness but my own y Jones had run o!
luck, however, and after playing Will
the banker said he was busted and
went off to borrow a stake. This incl
dent may show to what an extent the
spirit Of gambling prevails in this COM
munity, even among the children.

STREET Talk. tall fine looking
man with hair turning grey might have
been heard yesterday, harranguing a
crowd at the Ormsby corner on the SUBJ

had induced the Central Americascoffee
trade to San Francisco as point of dis
trihution, thereby diverting il, from its
former channel into the Mississippi

The Sons Of Scotia and descendants
Of those born in the Land O'Cakes, to
pether with a number Of invited guests,
mot at the Hall of the St. Andrews So
cietv last Friday evening to celebrate the
anniversary of the birth of Scotland S
(if not the world's) sweetest poet, Roo-
ert Burns.
William Pearson, President Of the So
ciety being unweil, was compelled to
leave early in the evening; he merely
opened the meeting, and after the praye!
by Rev. Mr.. Woods, chaplain OF the 5 :
ciety, read his address and left for home.
Not having the necessary space to give
the whole of the Presidents address we
refrain from quoting from it hoping to
be able to give it entire during the com
ing week. Suffice it to say that the adj
dress is worthy of its author. 1t is re-
plete with beautiful eulogy of the poet
and happy ideas of the land OF song,
poetry and warriors.
Two tables extending the entire length
of the hall were spread with all the lux
uries of the season, and everything pro-
vided was of the best.
By request of the President, Hon. A.
J. Lockwood provided, and well did he
perform the duties of his Office.
The following toasts were given be-
tween each two of which Messrs. Turner
and Reed also Major Downie (the Old
pioneer and founder of Downieville),
sang the old favorite songs of Scotland:
First toast-To the memory of Burns;
was handsomely responded to by Mr.
Burns, Minute Clerk of the Senate.
I'd. President of the United States; to
which Mr.. Lockwood responded III a
very able manner.
81. Queen of Great Britain; responded
to by Judge Parkinson, with the elo-
auence and wit suggested by the noble
theme.
4th. Our honored guest, J. P. Jones,
United States Senator; responded to ad-
mirably by Hon. Mr.. Ely.
5th. The United States; responded to
by Hon. J. Jones, in an unstudied Off
hand way with wit and power.
Nevada, the State Of our adoption;
response by Hon. w. w. Coy, which was
given in that true gentleman style SO
peculiar to the Senator.
The press; response byD. r. Sessions.
The Governor of the State; able re-
Spouse by Hon II. II. Bence.
At the conclusion of this order of the
evening, motions were made to adjourn,
which were one after another voted dowli
by reclamation, the mover voting with
all the rest, when finally the happy Scots
resolved themselves into COMMITTEE o.
the Whole for the discussion of ''Hot
Scotch, champagne, and the merits OF
Robby Burns. Tam O'Shanter was
inimitably-gloriously -recited by MIR.
Turner.
At 4 o'clock A. N. the committee rose,
and an adjournment took place of one OF
the happiest reunions that it has ever
been our lot to attend.

Curious Statistics of Marriage.

To people Of a statistical rather than
a sentimental turn, the mathematics of
marriage in different countries may
prove an attractive. theme Of meditation
1t isfound that young men from fifteen
to twenty years ofage marry young wo-
men averaging two or three years old
err than themselves, but if they delay
marriage until they are twenty to TWEEN
ty five years old, their spouses average
year younger than themselves: and
thenceforward this difference steadily
increases, till in extreme old age on
the bride groom's part it is apt to be
enormous.
The inclination Of cctogenarians to
wed misses in their teens is an every
day occurrence, but it is amusing to
find in the love matches Of boys that
the statistics bear out the satires of
Thackeray and Balzac. Again, the
husbands Of young women aged TWEEN
ty and under average a little above
twenty five years, and the inequality Of
age diminishes thenceforward, till for
women who reached thirty the respect
i've ages are equal: after thirty five
years, women, like men, marry those
younger than themselves, the dispro-
portion increasing with age, till at fifty
five it averages nine years.
The greatest number of marriages
for men take place between the ages Of
twenty and twenty five in England
between twenty-five and thirty in
France. and between twenty-five and
thirty five in Italy and Belgium. Fl.
nalIy, in, Hungary the number of indi-
viduals who marry is 70 in thousand
each year, in England it is Ga; in
Denmark, SO 4; in France, ST the city

A Stiff Upper Lip

The world counts man for his money!
fawns upon him If there is power III his
hand to turn the scales when the tates OF
others are in the balances; delers to him
If he has great mental gifts; admires him
for personal beauty. and grace; loves him
for arge-heartedness; but t never thor
oughly respects him unless he has shown
that he knows how and when to keep a
stiff upper lip.
"Keep stiff upper lip, old fellow" is the
parting counsel of one friend to another,
who is standing in the shadow of some
great trouble of that sort which causes
all men to turn their eyes on the sufferer
to see how he bears it. Under those
circumstances there is not man but
instinctively knows that, if he can only
perform that little facial feat successfully,
his battle is more than half won. Some
men never can do it at ALL Some try only
to break down lamentably. There are
mouths and mouths. With some mouths
the keeping of stiff upper lip is q
physiological impossibifty.
If you want to see the most perfect fail
ure of such an attempt, watch an impul-
sive, sensitive child whose feelings have
been wounded, but whose natural pride in
stinctively suggests concealment Of the
trouble. The lips begin to culver omin-
ously; then the eyes, in turn, shows signs
of rebelling against the discipline which is
sought to be enforced upon a countenance
accustomed to be, made an index ofall that
goes on within. Next, sob forces itself
up from the throat, and brings the ready
tears with 1T, and the tears are the signal
for an unconditional capitulation. Down
goes the treacherous under-lip,and up goes
the forsaken upper lip, which can not pos
sible preserve its equilibrium after the de
lection OF its tw in brother and nearest ally
The control over the muscles of the mouth
which is necessary to the preservation OF
a stiff upper lip, and which typifies firm
ness, is only gained after long and repeat
ed struggles 1t is an important part in
that unconscious self-education which
begins 50 early that no one can ever
exactly know when he took his first lesson
in it.-Frons PAreno logical Journal
