NEW RAILs,--New rails are being laid on
the railroad from Winnemucca east to Tule.
They are about an inch higher than the old
ones, but in other respects apparently similar
to them. Many of the ties, particularly the
hewed ones, laid when'the road was bailt are
yet sound and in good condition, notwith-
standing they are made Of soft pine wood.

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-Last night
. an officer was notified that young
man, named LOUIS Williams, had
shot himself in his room at 81 Clara

wound in the right side of his head.

employed as barkeeper at the cor
ner of Kearny and Suffer streets.
Some time ago he remarked in the
house where he lived, that he ex-
pected a young lady from Germany,
and that he would marry her when
she arrived. II she was not here on
the 4th of December, seven years
from the time he left home, he
would shoot himself. No weight

Hill, upon the marriage of her
daughter, gave her intended son-in-

mother-in- law.

Calumny and Abuse.

-
malign and cry dishonesty, while
innumerable people are overwhelm-
ed by the persistence and clamor
of accusation, and are led to give
credence to it. A general defama-
ton makes. at least, half converts
and every one brought into the
belief of general dishonesty, is
half way dishonest himself. And
here is just where the evils of the
practice come init largely creates
and augments the very things it
.denounces. Men are said to be
kept pure-minded and honest by
the existence of pure-minded and
honest men as examples are emu
lous to honest purposes by the
presence of these examples.
Wrong doing must not be con-
doned; iniquity demands the stern
reprobation but the ever-ready
disposition. so universal, to accuse
rightly or wrongly, upon the
slightest sound Of suspicion to
charge crime in every direction,
and fraud in every transaction; TO
take for granted that all men are
corrupt; to exaggerate and color
all offences, however trivial their
character; and to hastily, without
one shadow of reason, suspect and
accuse them, is one of the worst
tendencies of the age.
4 do not believe" said a gen
tleman to US recently, =" that more
than one man in hundred is alb
solutely honest" In our opinion,
We charge, without fear of con-
tradiction. that this state of affairs
is morally impossible. There must
be many more honest men, or none.
No man, or set of men, could pos
sibly, under such influences, sus-
tain themselves in honest ways.
Even a small minority of honest
men could not resist the pressure
of majority. Take the ground
that the larger proportion of the
community are dishonest, and you
may as we'll admit an almost unan-
imous surrender of principle. Not
a moiety of dishonest people do we
admit, were it so, society would
resolve itself into chaos.
If our friend above spoken of
We're possessed of an enlarged view
of human affairs. he would not
have ventured the hazardous,
thoughtless remark he did. If he
would seek he would soon discover,
in innumerable by-ways, in all the
quleter and unobtruslve ways OF
life, amid every class of society
and struggling humanity, a hun
bred virtues to reward him for his
labor. Still worse than the crime
itself, is the universal cutlery re-
specting crime spread broadcast
throughout the land. Justice is
among the higher virtues. Moder-
alton is called wisdom; discrimina-
ton is characterized as judgment;
truthfulness is a loyalty due to
others and TO ourselves; and if all
OF these do not enter into our rule
of action. we sin more than those
against whose shining We raise our
voices.

A correspondent in far-of Illinois

A correspondent in far-of Illinois
tells us that during a Methodist
gathering in the city Of Bushnell
certain clerical brethren were assem-
bled at the table of Il hospitable mer-
chant. During the dinner the CONVEX
sation ran upon subjects secular and
theological. One gentleman living
in the vicinity was spoken Of as hay
ing left the Methodist fold.
"What!" exclaimed one Of the
preachers "Mr--left the Church ~
EYES," replied a younger clergy
man, with immovable countenance /;
she soured, and turned Baptist"
Speaking of Baptists, we have this
from an Ohio friend, though the incl
dent occurred in Illinois: At the
opening of service one afternoon Il
Baptist clergyman besought the Mast
err to so instruct the persons who
were to be baptized at the close Of
preaching that they might be enlight-
ened as to the only eilicacious mode
of administering that ordinance. A
lady, not holding q corresponding
view of the matter, said, II was
sprinkled when was baby, and am
thankful that l am just as much Il
Christian, and feel it too, as if / had
been anchored in the middle of Lake
Michigan for month -

If there is any Of the reconstruct
ed States where the people are literal
ly taxed out of house and home, Ar
kansas IS the one In order to be
sure that the assessors shall not per-
NIT any differentiation of property,
they are paid a commission on the
amount assessed, so that the higher
the valuation they return the larger
will be their own share Of the plumber.
The idea of paying assessors by COM
mission is novel, and it's natural effect
obvious. This plan is so brilliant
that it is almost safe to say that it
must have originated in the prolific
brain of Grants particular friend,
Senator Clayton, to whom the people
of Arkansas are deeply indebted in
many ways. If tax on personal
property is not paid, the collector may
seize it and sell enough to cover the
amount due with costs and fifty per
cent. on the whole besides, paying
himself for his trouble. fla real es-
tate owner fails to pay his taxes, his
property is sold at auction under pro.
visions which render it almost impos-
sible that he can ever recover it. In
case no purchasers come forward to
bid for such property, then, in order
to make sure that the owner is pro-
perly punished for his poverty, the
State steps in, buys it, and gives it
away to certain railroad companies.
And yet, strange to say, there are
very few white men to be found in
this benighted State who qre able to
properly appreciate the blessings Of
living under republican form of gov.
eminent.

On Monday Mark Nicholson, son
of A. A. Nicholson, was at work in
Rutland with young man named
Kimball saving stove wood with a
steam sircular saw, when Nicholson
who was taking away the wood after
it was cut, threw stick against a
post, whenceit rebounded to the saw
and was thrown with great violence,
so as to strike him on the forehead in
the vicinity of the temple; although
the wound is serious the boy will
probably recover.

A large fund for the relief of the
survivors of the Bennington accident
has been raised by the town. The
investigation shows that several of
the employees smelled the gas just be-
fore the explosion took place, and
were hunting for the leak; and three
of the victims were found lying to-
gether in such manner as to indi-
cate that they anticipated an explo-
sion and were trying to escape. One
Of the most touching scenes that fol-
lowed the explosion was the presence
of little boy in the crowd, hunting
and crying for his mother, who was
one of the victims. The mill is, of
course, bad-looking wreck; but the
loss of the company, it is now thought
will not exceed $4,000

A Michigan man has patented what
may be considered q perfect godsend
to the grangers in their fight with the
railroads. This idea is no less than
the construction of mammoth grain
tube between Chicago and New York,
through which corn and wheat may be
shot with great velocity on the pneu-
matte principle. At the starting
point, say Chicago, says the sanguine
inventor, we shall use a fifteen or
twenty horse power engine to drive a
six-foot fan. The fan will drive a
current of air through the tube in
which the grain is to he conveyed.
Ten, twenty Or thirty miles from Chi
cago, perhaps even fifty, we shall
place another engine and fan, the fan
taking it's air from the tube. Now,
the operation of these two fans gives
q combination of force and action,
producing very rapid current Of air.
1t may be objected that the tube will
become clogged. That is impossible,
as the grain is not admitted to the
tube until the current of air has been
produced, and then only in such guam
titles as will pass without hitting the
sides of the tube. This may seem
impossible, but will become evident
when the fact is considered that the
velocity Of the air i'll the tube will be
greater in the center, just as the cur
rent of a river is swiftest in the CEN
ter, causing small objects floating on
it's surface to move to the center.
Railroad iron it is anticipated, will be
hammered into plowshares and pru-
ning-hooks when this millennial style
of transportation is fully introduced.

The paper Company, it is thought,
will make some arrangement with
creditors, reorganize, and 60 on with
business as before. Business is con-
siderably depressed, and so great is
the fever of distrust, that money is
not easily raised on the best of securi-
ties.

The state license alliance held mass
meeting at Concord, on the 22d and, hav-
ing elected S. B. Page of Concord presi-
dent and George Everett Of Laconia
secretary, adopted constitution and by
laws providing for branches in the large
towns. 1t is the avowed object Of the
alliance to secure license law in
the state. The druggists Of the state
also held Il meeting, to consult on the
liquor question, but voted not to unite
with the license alliance. One of the
prime moves in the liquor dealers con-
vention says that the druggists propose
to nominate an Independent candidate for
governor at their convention, to be held
in about two weeks, and then use their
influence in both political parties to
secure as many representatives and sena-
tors as they can who favor license law.

The breakers dashing wave
Breaks in soft ripples at our feet,
Or parts hollow grave.
For miles the coast is all .unbroke.
Not one see, save you;
What do you there, | pray you tell,
My brother, tried and true ?
A name upon the sand you trace,
All that name is mine
Reneath it, see, write one more,
Look, brother, it is thine.
Just as they stand, o Father dear,
Write thou our names above;
And write within our hearts in fire,
Thine own blest name of LOVE.
