HUMoRs OF NRvADA.-The Gold Hill
NcnS says:
An Irishmau, resident Of this city, noted
for his wit upon all occasions, and also
Tor his successful attacks on the "tigGr,"
was proceeding home the other evening,
and when he had reached the Divide was
stopped by some iootpads with the re-
quest to "hold up his hands," The rob
6crs knew he had made a large winning
and got of with It, and had preceded
him Tor the purpose Of waylsying him.
Pat did not scare worth cent, and
when stopped quietly asked the robbers
what they wanted. They answered.
We want your money!" Pat, ouietly
proceeding 10 light his dudhecn, said ~.

An Important Meeting.


We observe that the nail manufacturer
have called a meeting at Pittaburg OF
Wednesday next, the first they have helt
Tor some time, to take into consideration
the present rather anomalous and unsAtis
factory condition Of the trade, and ifpossi
bic to provide a remedy before the Fal
business is FILTERED away.
The anomalous condition Of the marke
Is that while the demand for trade is un-
usually good for the season Of the year
the prizes is hardly more than sufficient to
cover the cost OF production. Nearly
every mill 10 Wheeling is behind its Or
ders, and all Of them are running 10 theiI
IulI capacity. And yet the profits Of TIT
business arc very sim'indeed. a
This state OF things has perhaps re
suited naturally enough from the extraor'
binary initiation in all branches OIL the iron
business last year. Prices in every de-
pArtmcnt went up too high, and inasmuch
as one extreme hardly ever fails to beget
another, they have recently declined be-
low the level of supply and demand.
To remedy this condition Of tho market
b the object of the Pittsburgh meeting
The general feeling among the nail meu
is that they can save the fall business, now
setting in so promislnglY, Il there is only
concert OF action. They are IN inlclli.
gent body OF men and know what is ne.
cessary to promote their own interests,
and we trust for their own sakcs ms we'll
IS the general prosperity oil our conmu
nifty that neither anImosilies nor rlvalries
will stand between them and paying
trade this fall.

In front Of Leubrie's can be found a
draft Of the bronze fountain TO be erected
in Court Square. 1t is from the design
and Of the manufacture Of j. W. Mott,
iron works, New York. 1t is fourteen
feet three inches in hight, and is in the
form Of three tiers Of basins, surmounted
by Triton who blows a column of wa
ter upward through a horn. The base is
supported by four swans or bitterns, FROM
the mouths Of which streams Of water
flow. The design is charming and will
cost in bronzed iron $500. The basin
will probably be made of Lemons eel
ebrated concrete stone, manufactured
in this city. The subscription list at
Leubries shows the following results;
Lou Leubrie, 500; I. G. Gaylord,
Cincinnati, (Gayoso Gas Company,
500; ]. W. Rutherford, $50; Charles
Bullock, $40. Our enterprizing citizens
should subscribe literally to this adorn-
ment of the prettiest park in the United
States. In the summer time the foun-
tain will be charming place of resort
for the people Of Memphis, and will be
visited by all strangers on the bluffs.

The 0sage river steamer Lark went up
the Pomme de Teue TO Fairfield last
week, creating quite an excitement even
among the Oldest inhabitants, as she was
the FIRST boat that has been there for a
couple OF hundred years.
One day last week Mr.. Burrows, wife
and child, Of Lebanon, Tenn, took pas
sage on the Tyrone, at Nashville, and
we're en- route to the wife's parents at
Columbia, Mo. The wife was in poor
health, and soon after leaving Nashville
she had several severe hysterical fits.
While lying at Paducah she seemed to
have recovered her senses and retired to
her room. The husband sat by the bed
side watching her, and had the outside
stateroom door locked. About ten
o'clock she asked him to bring her a
drink Of water. When he stepped into
