Incident OH the Mississippi.

A writer gives the following graph
ic sketch of an incident occurring
during Masonic excursion on the
Mississippi:
1t was a magnificent sight to see
our immense boat, accompanied by
Lady Gay and the Belle of Alton,
their decks crowded with fair ladies
and knights Templar, band of mu-
sic, distinguished citizens, and invit-
ed guests, as they steamed up the
Mississippi, then down to Jefferson
Barracks, where we all went on
shore to spend pleasant hour, af-
ter which we again went on board
and steamed merrily up the river.
I was standing near the captain.
The commander of the Templars
came and leaned wearily on the caps
tan. While there, and was analy-
zing his find countenance, the cap
tain of the steamer, with pale lips
and blanched cheeks, approached
the Templar, and, in a low tone and
trembling voice, said:
"Great God, sir 4! we are sinking!
We are snagged, sir, in the bottom,
and nothing can save u.s."
"How long can you keep her
afloat 81 carelessly enquired the
young Templar.
"She may 60 down in five min
utes; she cannot keep ahoat more
than flfteen," replied the captain.
"Do not make your situation
known to any one except your crew,
or we will have a panic, and then
all will be lost. Signal the Lady
Gay to lay to; none will notice or
understand the signal of distress.
Get your crew and hands ready to
move; 1 will manage the rest"
elbow, Warder, blow" said the
young Templar, speaking to his en-
sign, who stood near him, at the
same time leaping upon the capstan.
Every one was startled by a shrill
blast from the Warder's trumpet.
A hundred Templars' swords leaped
from their scabbards at the blast.
"Attention, Sir Knights" shout
ed the young commander. "The
next ceremony in the programme is
for the Sir Knights, ladies and gen.
tlemen, on this boat, to make WIS.,
it to our friends on board the Lady
Gay. AS the steamers are rapidly
approaching each other, and cannot
be kept together but minute or
two, the movement must be a rapid
one. You will form procession at
once and, as the boats come togeth.
or, pass over the gangway, under
an arch of steel, to the lower deck
Of the Lady Gay. Forward, Sir
Knights, to the gangway. Music
in front. The band will play, THE
Knight Templars' Quickstep."
In obedience to these orders, the
Knights formed a double line to the
facing round, with swords
crossed above the heads of those
the procession. In less
han eight minutes the whole pre-
,ious cargo of human life had pass
ID from the Mississippi to the Lady
Jaw, even to the cOlOred cook, ex-
,ept the two files of Templars. when
he young commander ordered;
From the rear, right and left in
yard wheel, march !" and, filing in
ward, the Templars rapidly passed
'ver the gangway to the Lady Gay,
he young commander being the last
o leave. One minute more, and
he Mississipsi steamer sank to the
bottom.

c~oronsr,s Inquest.

The inquest held BY Justice Logan TO
Inquire into the cause Of the death OF
Tie sauaw found drowned In . shaft In
he Boston mill, on Saturday night,
says the Reese River R<ueiue Of October
goth, was concluded to-day. From the
evidence II appears that . number Of
mslo and female Indians, In company
With one or more white men, were en-
gagged, on the night In question, In play
Ing cards and drinking whisky in the
mill, which Is q sort Of rendezvous for
the Indians. During the night two Of
the squaws engaged In . tussls, one OF
them having q rope In her hand 10 which
was attached . briokbat. In the scufis
they became in some name sntanglsd
in the rope, and together tumblsd int
the we'll. One Of the squaws wa res
cusd BY SEINE white men, bat the other
was left In the well, II not being
known that shs had fallen In,
as the Indians were all Of thsm % drunk
that they did net know whether she had
fallen In or not. The deceased squaw
was subsequently, taken out, and from
the circumstance OF the rope and brick
being around her body II was supposed
that she had met with foul play, but
which the investigation proved was net
the case.
The whisky was furnished by the
white man. or men. who, II caught, win
probably DO summarily dealt with; a.
District Attorney Anderson and Justice
Logan express q determination to yigor-
ously prosecute and severely punish any
person caught supplying tho Indians
with whisky.

PLAfyrIvE.

Old Deacon snarlsyow Of the Reno
Etcrescenos Is becoming discouraged and
Is fast losing his blessed old nip. For
several months past, he has been troub-
led with political indigestion and q
chronic Sharon nightmare. He has
found the new Political narrow-gauge
side track he switched on to, harder 70
travel than the mythical road over Jof-
dan, being all a steep up grade, with Nc
good prospect ahead except that Of get
ting ditchsd. Most assiduously has tho
literary old locomotive snortsd. tore.
plunged and racksd alsng. footing his
vheezy old whistle evsr and anon, de-
claring with vicious vshsms,cs that he
would not DO induced TO accept anything
in the way Of subsidy-no. not q red
csnt-and totally dsfying the power Of
gold or wood piles to corrupt him. He
has been like the man who was trying TO
break a young pet steer to work, by put
ting his " head through one side OF
the yoke. The cratic animal took q
notion to run with him, and away they
won't bueking and plunging through the
village, the old follow shouting at every
jump, "hsre we 60, dsrn our fool souls;
hsad US, somebody"
Prayeriully, and with smittsn con.
science the good old Deacon now calls
to mind tho tims-honored axiom, "the
way OF the transgressor Is hard" and
regretfully. yet s~nviously he regards his
contemporaries who have kept straight
along in the even tenor Of their way.
following the broader and more com.
prshonsivs track OF political rsctituds.
Remorssiullly and with saddened spirit,
in his paper Of yesterday morning he
pays q just tribute and compliment to
his journalistic contemporaries Of this
section in the following p~laintivsly re-
Elective remarks, which we extract from
his editorial:
Each and every paper in Sharon's
interest Is by virtue Of his monsy and
influence enabled to take a leading posi-
ton. To run q newspaper successfully,
capital Is just as essential rs in any
other branch Of business. The Sharon
press being supplied with ample means
and able to take advantage OF . proper
division Of labor, supply telegraPhic
dispatches, employ the most available
talent and thereby furnish q more COM
plets newspaper than the opposition
press. With those advantages they
have II in their power to lead the cen
test and determine its character.
We propose for the few days
that remain between this and election.
to con6ns oursslf to the discussion Of
living issues.
The old Deacon, with Q still remain
ing trace OF snarling dogmatism, how
ever, throws in a few ~thrsad-bars jokes
about Generalization, Islander, false
hood, and all that sort Of thing, even
uttering q weak personality or two, but
IL Is plain to be seen that the good old
man Is weary, has his latter end in view
aud wants rest.

VENETIAN LACES.

A writer in the Cincinnati Gdzetts sayst
"The history of some Of the Venetian laees 10
curious. Clement VII. gave his niece, Cath
crime Medicis, laces in reliefof enormous value.
which afterwards became the property Of
Mary Stuart. During the reign of Louis XIV.
the laees necessary for gentleman's costume
cost 5000. The pontifeal dress worn by
Pope Innocent XI. Is now exhibited at the Ex-
position at Milan, and also the magnificent
laees Of the Princess Margaret, presented to
her on her marriage by the ladies OF Venice.
The collections Of antiquaries give the elearestl
idea which we can have Of the variety and Pc
culiarities of these laces. It is interesting to
see the admiration which these persons feel for
their treasures; they touch them with respect,
and show them to an inexpert with ecstaey.
There is the point d'Espagne, so named be-
cause the pattern came from Spain; point
d'fYoire, minated from the designs OF ivory
cuttings; point de rose, rose pattern; Jut All
these are made in Venice. Their texture Is
marvellous, for all these stitches, so fine that.
they are scarcely Yisibleto the eye, were made
by the needle in a woman's fingers Happily
We may for these things use the past tense,
for the fabrication Of piece would often Oe-
cupy years, and sometimes lifetime Their
price is as extraordinary as their workman

four inches wide and long enough to-trim an
oFsrskirt, and another piece for the bertha,
which, although not the same pattern, viii yet
agree with it. For 800 you can have an ugly.
large collar Of point de rose, which n0amOdern.

WEIGHTS OF BOYS AND eRLS.

Upon the average, boys at birth weigh
little more and girls little less thaniseven
pounds. For the first twelve years the two
sexes continue nearly equal in weight, but BE-
yond that age the boys acquire a decided pre-
ponderanee. Young men Of twenty average
one hundred and thirty-hve pounds, while the
young women of twenty average one hundred
and ten pounds each. Men reach their
heaviest weight at about forty years of age,
when their average weight wiz be about one
hundred and forty pounds; but women slowly
increase in weight uatil fifty years Of age,
when their average weight viii be one hundred
and thirty. Taking the men and women to-
gether, their weight at full growth viii then
average from one hundred and eight to ono
hundred and fifty; and women from eighty 70
one hundred and thirty. The average weight
of humanity all over the world, taking the
ages and conditions, working men and women,
and gentlemen and ladies without occupation,
black and white, boys, girls and babies, Is
very nearly one hundred pounds, a7oirdupols
weight.
