Any One.

A lady writes us: II am a constant reader
of your paper and must say that you must be
an impudent set to always be saying so much
abont the women and let the men go free
there are few women but what are more the
servants than wives of men and doubtless
would have been happier if they had remained
old maids"
Now we've got our foot into it--what will we
dot Broom sticks and shovels! We didn't
say it! Yes'um, you are right-we are impu
dent fellows! We wouldn't marry one OF these
"horrid men" for nothing-we would prefer q
woman every time. But--excuse US madam
those who live in glass houses should not
throw stones. You doubtisss have passed the
prime Of lite and have no strong arm to lean
upon and are more sensitively prone to take
offsnse at the pleassntries in regard to your sex
than those who have recognized the scriptural
precept at is not good to be alone" You have
doubtless spent the hey-day Of life in hirt'ng
and coquetting, thinking nobody good enough
for you, and now you have nothing to do but
to think ofthe good chances you once had but
never will have again. And this complaint Of
women being servants" is all "sour grapes
Your case is doubtless that of the maiden, who,
seeing age creeping on, determined to depart
from her course Of servant 10 fashion" and I'M
TO the Lord pour out her soul in prayer for
husband. And acting on this plan she knelt
beneath an oak to pray-unconscious that an
old owl was perched in the tree above. She
cried, ''Oh, Lord, give me a husband; it is SO
hard to go through life alone with no one to
love. Such fate il unfair. Oh, give me hus-
band " just then the old owl in the tree
above her, in deep basso tones, screeched

this, took it as an answer to her prayer aud

VIRGINIA AND TRucKEE RAILROAD

VIRGINIA AND TRucKEE RAILROAD
On account of the insolidity of the
ground upon which the greater part OF
the ties of the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad are laid, it is proposed by the
company to have eighteen inches OF dirt
taken from under the ties the entire
length of. the road, and rock taken from
near the Bruhswick Mill, on the Carson
River, filled in under the ties in the
place of the loose dirt. The idea is
good one, as the accidents now occurring
On the railroad are invariably caused by
the giving way Of loose dirt under the
ties. A foundation of rock, however,
viii hold the ties in their place, and
should the ground keep on settling, the
ties and rocks will fall together, whereas
the dirt would fall away and leave no
support for the timbers. The necessity
for the measure about to be taken will
be seen when we state that within the
past year the ground around Gold Hill
and vicinity has settled nearly three
inches. -Enterprise.

DANCING TEMPEsr.-TheF Friday even
ing soirees, conducted by Harry Burns
at the Turn Verein Hall, have been grow
ing livelier and ivelier all the while, I'M
til now they have gro~ to be I'M
mense, and there is nothing like them.
twenty-five couples, or over, were pres
ent night before last, Friday, composed
as regards the crinoline, of young ladies
in the neighborhood of sixteen, although
there were more than one of the Older
sort Who looked very pretty too and
tripped with lightness a n.drreiNe. The
gentlemen were oil of the proper age, and
some of them, Buck and the other B. for
example, looked very heavy. The usual
dances were had, and the entertainment
wound up with the Virginia Reel, by re-
quest, for the sake of auld lang syne.
The "tempest," however, was the fea-
ture of the occasion and will not soon
pass from the memory of the participants.
It was little new, in fact decidedly new,
and brought whirlwind and confusion
delightful confusion, along with it.
Many q fantastic figure was cut by those
who got into that tempest, and several
helped others who knew as much about
it a. themselves was not much.
There was no, wearisome style IN man,
ner or dress, and all was nerriment and
freedom from restraint. It was no easy
matter to pick out the belle, although 1t
might have been done. Miss r.,
Miss Mary D., Miss Mary N,
Miss ", and others, appeared exceed
ingT charming.
