WHY ALL NEHADA BUYERS RUN INTO
THE GROUND.

The Virginia City (Ney.) Enterprise says
It is well-known popularity Of our Washoe
rivers that they all sink into the earth. Each
river empties into what lie called its "sink, !" or
lake. None of them get out of the State or
empty into the sea. This curious fact was
once curiously accounted for by queer old fell
low who made his home In the shadow of Mount
Davidson. Said he: "The way 1t come about
was in this wise: The Almighty ct the time He
was creatin' and fashionin' this ERE yearth, got
along to this section late on Saturday evenin'.
He had got through with all the great lakes,
like Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and
them; had made the Ohio, Missouri, and Mis-
sissippi rivers, and as sort Of wind up, con-
cluded to make river that would beat any
thing he had done In that line. he started an
traced out Humboldt river, an Truckee river,
an Carson river, an Walker river, an Reese
river, an all the other rivers, an He was q
leadin' Of 'en along, calculatin' TO bring 'em
all together into one big boss river, an then
lead that OF an let # empty into the Gulf Of
Mexico or the Gulf Of California, as might be
most convenient; but as he was bringin' down
and leadin' along His branches-Truckee
Humboldt Carson, Walker, an them-all q
once It came on dark an not bein' able to car
nv out His plan, He tnst tucked the lower ends
of the several streams inter the ground whar
they war. an they've stayed thar ever sipee.

The Feet and Health.

Of all parts of the body there is not one which ought to be so carefully at. tended to as the feet. Every person is aware from experience that colds and many other diseases which proceed from the same are attributed to cold feet. The feet are at such distance from the "wheel at the cistern" of the svs- tenn, that the circulation of the blood may be easily checked in them. You see all this, and although every person of common sense should be aware of the truth of what we have stated, there is no part of the body so much trified with as the feet. The young and would -genteel-footed cramp their feet into thin-soled, -pinching boots. in order to display, neat feet, in, the fash ionabfe sense of the term. Now this is very wrong. In cold weather. boots of good thick leather, both in soles and uppers, and large enough to give free circulation to the blood in the feet, should be worn by all. They should be water tight and warm, but not air-tight. It injures the feet to wear an air-tieht cover over them. India rubber shoes or boots should not be worn, except in wet and slushy weather, and then taken off as soon as the exposure to it is over. No part of the body should be allowed to have @ covering which entirely ob- structs the passage of the carbonic acid gcs from the pores of the skin. There is one great evil against which every person should be on his guard-we mean the changing of warm for cold boots or shoes Itisa dangerous prac- tice. ,eaa zf

His, Cucumhers.l

A prisoner in the Missouri peniten- tiary, too weak to work, and who had the run of the yard, one day asked the Warden if he could be allowed to culti- vate small corner of the enclosure. "What do you want to raise p "Cu- cumbers, sir" Why, you can't raise them here, the other prisoners would steal them.o Ne, sir" said the man firmly 1; "they will not steal one of them" "Well, go ahead" said the Warden, !" if any of your cucumbers are stolen, don't come to me with your complaints. "You will never. hear from me on that score, sir" The cu- cumbers were planted, watered, trained and cultivated, and an immense crop was the result. As fast, however, as the fruit fipened, it disappeared, and the Warden became convinced that the own CT sold it for liquor, produce, or some other contraband. article. He directed the man to be watched, and finally he was detected in the act of carrying his cucumbers toe the hospital and giving them to the poor fellows who, in their sickness, craved them. Not one ha l been stolen.

A Clerical Cbariner.

Burleigh writes from New York to the Boston Journal. cone of our city pastors is most excellent singer. He has a sympathetic voice. He frequently supplements his sermons with song, ana the music is quite as efficient as the appeal. He visited mad house the other day, and was shown a cell in which a madman was confined. He was one of the most furious sort. He had to be chained to the floor to keep him from dashing his brains against the sides ef his cell. It was as much as ones life was worth to approach him. He tore his clothes into ribbons. and his bed was mass of rags. As the minister looked through the grating the prisoner made for him, and with such violence as to jerk himself back on to the floor. He rose foaming with rage. 'I'll kill you.' sIll beat your brains out Clear cut. Instead of moving, the preacher began to sing. The hymn he selected was. Our home in Heaven First the madman Is- tened then he stretched himself out to the full length of his chain. First one arm relaxed and then the other. Tears molstened his eyes. Then he coiled upon his bed of rags as quiet as a chifd, And when the hymn was ended he looked up, saying, More, more.' The preacher sang till his strength gave way, and when he left the madman seemed hushed in slumber. The keeper said he had no doubt but it would have been perfectly safe for the minister to have gone and sat down by his side in the cell. It was the old case of Saul and David."

Carving for his Dinner.

The Boston Transcript relates the following anecdote of an old-time New England stage-house: s'At one of them, day after day, 8 stranger, apparently a guest, was politely asked by the landlord if he would be good enough forthat day to carve the dish before him. Uni formly the well-dressed stranger grace fully complied and as gracefully carved the contents of the platter. Some over- inquisitiye person, for there were such even in those famous old times, at last observed that day by day the same dish appeared in the same spot, that the same person occupied the same place at table, and the same polite request was in the same tone preferred and compiled with. The weu-dressed guest was @ neighboring tailor who was famous as carver, perhaps from prac- tice on the goose, and who got his din ner for his services"

MatrimOny.

All young men, and most young women have an interest in this subject, as it is condition in life to which ali look forward, and hope to attain at some future period, and if the young man has any prudence, he will not assume the responsibilities of married life until he can make some provision for the support of those dependent upon him, should he be called away by an early death. In the great majority of cases this provision can only be secured by means of life insurance policy, that will cost but small sum annually and yet provide all the security that can be desired. One of the most re- liable of these companies is the Penn sylvania Mutual Life Insurance Con- pany, of Philadelphia, through which life policies may be obtained or agencies secured by application to the home office, or to Jas.
