NOT PUBLIsHED.-Why is it that
the proceedings of the Dem. Lib
Independent County Convention,
held at Dayton one week ago to-day,
/ have not seen the light of day 1?
Are the members of that gathering
| ashamed of their actions, or has
( Sutro gone back on them and re-
fused to publish the proceedings in
his Storey County organ, where he
purposes doing all the printing for
the Dem.-Lib.- Independents free of
charge? The TIMES editor was
promised a copy of the proceedings,
but after perusing the paper OF the
Thursday following, they We're not
forthcoming. 1t seems rather small
in some one that copy of the pro-
ceedings of the Convention was not
handed in for publication; some
even suspect that publicity is not
what the leaders of that party desire;
it would seem that all hands are
extremely reticent iii the matter, TO
say the least. We would have pub
| lished the proceedings as freely as
did we those of the Republican
County Convention, free of charge,
as matter of news to our readers.
Yet, we were unable to get the copy.
A majority of the citizens of Silver
City, and of Lyon county, are not
aware who the nominees OF the
Dem. Lib. independents are. par
ticularly for district or precinc.
officers. 1t would afford us extreme
pleasure to peruSe the names ere
the slaughter takes place on the 3D.
proximo. Can't some one give
them light ?

YOUNG MEN,

Who may be suffering from the effects of
youthful follies or indiscretion, Will do well
to avail themselves of this, the greatest boon
ever laid at the altar of suffering humanity.
DR.. Spinney will guarantee to forfeit five hun
dred dollars for every case of seminal weak
ness or private disease of any kind or charac-
ter, which he undertakes and fails to cure.
He would, therefore, say to the unfortunate
sufferer who may read this notice, that you are
treading upon dangerous ground when you
longer delay in seeking the proper remedy for
your complaint. You may be in the first
stage-remember you are approaching the
last If you are bordering on the last, and are
suffering some or all of its i'll effects, remem-
Der that if you obstinately persist in pro
crastination, the time must come when the
skilful physician can render you no assist
ance; when the door of hope will be closed
against you: when no angel of mercy can
bring You relief In no ease has the Doctor
failed of success. Then let no despair work
itself upon your Imagination, but avail your
self of the beneficial results of his treatment
before your case is beyond the reach of med
ical skill or before grim death hurries you to
a premature grave.

There are many of the age of thirty to sixty
who are troubled with too frequent evaeua-
lions of the bladder, often accompanied by a
slight smarting or burning sensation, and
a weakening of the system in a manner the
patient cannot account for; on examining the
urinary deposits ropy sediment will often
be found, and sometimes small particles of
albumen will appear, or the color will be of a
thin or milkish hue. again changing to \ dark
and torpid appearance. There are many men
who die Of this difficulty, ignorant Of the
cause, which is the second stage of seminal
weakness. DR.. s. will guarantee perfect
cure in all such cases, and healthy restora-
ton of the genito-urinary organs.

jority of cases balance of treatment can be

An Improving sight.

An interesting spectacle was that dis
played at Davenport avenue, a day or
two since, Of TWO able.bodied young
men, dressed in fine broadcloth, with
necktie a la mode, and kid gloves, occu-
pied in measuring building lot. One Of
these worthless stood at one erd Of the
tape, and his friend at the other, and
languidly distances we're taken, Nearly
two hours were consumed by them in
doing what an ordinarily smart boy
could have accomplished unaided in a
quarter Of the time. Not far distant
from these aristocratic mathematicians
we saw another young gentleman, and
similarly attired, overseeing gang :"
of two laborers, while they performed
the delicate operation of digging holes
sufficiently large for the placing of a
stone two feet in diameter at the bottom.
However, as these young gentlemen
contrive to earn, not only a living, but
an abundance of superhuities and luxu-
ries, judging from their apparel, what
would seem inanity and Incidence in
these latter days may merit the title of
" craftsmanship" AT any rate the peo-
Dle foot the bills.

A RussIan TragedY.

The st. Petersburg Globe gives the
following account of domestic tragedy:
Some years ago a Russian merchant
vas staying down in the country at the
house of a friend of his, in a town
called Naroieu. While thsrs liaison
sprang up between him and q HHssian
damsel, who is described as Mile D..
Ii lasted some time, and was kept pro-
foundly secret. Ulimstely the mer-
chant, NJ. Tchikhatchew, went back to
St. Petersburg. He settled there RRd
married, and vas leading a very COM
Portable life, when one morning he was
disagreeably surprised by getting a note
from his former flame, Mile D.. It
was TO this effect: Dear j.. am going
70 marry your friend N, at whose
house you we're staying when l made
your acquaintance. What passed be-
tween us must be kept quiet, ] need
hardly say. / want you to come
to the wedding aud give me away.
M. Tehikhatchew complied with the
request, gave the bride away, and
went home again. In July last. how

where, of course. he saw his old friend
N, who warmly invited him to come

A hit.

Father O'Leary, a learned and witty
Franciscan friar, who was received In
the best society of London in the latter
part of the last century, was introduced
to DR.. johnson by some mutual friends
who wished to see such men together.
Johnson, perhaps little annoyed by
the great popularity of the Irish wit,
greeted bim at once in the Hebrew Ian
guage, with which Father 0'Leary was
not acquainted. Turning away, in a
aontemptuous manner, johnson said.
"This is q pretty fellow you have
brought here; he is ignorant OF the old
est spoken language in the world BY
this time 0'Leary had recovered IRON
his surprise. He courteeusly bowed to
johnson, aud addressed him huently IN
a few sentences Of q tongue which, as
his manner indicated, was entirely
strange TO johnson. Then, turning 10
the gentleman who had brought him to
the great champion Of literature,
O'Lesry exclaimed; Call you him
learneda Why, ] have spoken TO him
in the language OF one Of the British
Islands. and be evidently does not know
the meaning Of single word" In
fact, O'LearS had addressed him in the
resonant yernacular Of Ireland. John
son, caught in bis own trap, was highly
amused By the Franciscan's ready
promptitude in turning the tables, made
q gruf apology for his own rudeness,
sat down to enjoy a whole evening s
company OF his new friend, and ever
after expressed and manifested the
highest regard for him.l

and put the key into her pocket and,
addressing her prenuptial lover, coolly
told him she must have an explanation
with him in her husbands presence
Tchikhatchew stood aghast. The lady,
however with the most imperturbable
demeanor, gave an account OF their past
liaison, in which she described herself as
much more of victim than had been
really the case, and called on Tchikhat-
chew to confirm the truth of her story.
He could not, Of course, go into details,
and gave a general assent. Madame
N then proceeded: You under
stand that the past must be wiped away
and atoned for. You will find on that
table dagger and revolver.
My husband and l will leave
the room. You, as man of
honor, know what course to follow
Tchikhatchew did not see what course
he had to follow, save to leave the room
too. But the lady sternly rebuked him,
and informed him that her honor and
her husbands peace of mind required
that he should commit suicide. Upon
which she and her husband went out,
locking the door after them. Tchik-
hatchew miraculously escaped and rush
ed off to Petersburg, giving out there
that he was off to Paris. The irate
couple rushed after him, and after an
exciting chase came up with their vic
tim early in the present month. N
proposed duel, and on Tchikhatchew
protesting that he was not a fighting
man rushed at him with knife, and
dealt him not less than seven wounds,
while the amiable Madame N twice
discharged revolver at him. Tchikhat-
chew has since died OF his wounds, and
his murderers have been arrested.

Reward OF suicide In china.

The Pekin Gazette contains a petition
from Chin Yuhying, setting forth the
following facts: In the seventh year OF
the reign of the Emperor Heenfung the
rebels congregated in great numbers in
the Province of Yunnan, and the Vice
roy, named Hang-chun, together with
his wife, committed suicide through vex-
alton. The Deputy Governor and others
laid the case before the Emperor at the
time it occurred. According to informa
ton recently received by the petitioner
from the resident gentry, the deceased
Viceroy was in all things upright and
careful, and free from covetousness. In
the sixth year Of the reign of Heenfung
he led out his troops to attack the rebels
at Kwerchow, but, on his departure,
the rebels collecting in great force
in Yunnan, he led his force back
again toward that province, driving the
enemy before him along the line of
march. Before he had completely de-
stroyed these insurgents the rebels from
Kneuhkeang and the surrounding places
returned to Yunnar ON the 2lst day OF
the intercalary, 9TH month Of the 7th
year, so that he could not defend the
province. The rebels burned the sub
urbs of the capital city, and almost an
initiated the inhabitants, but the Vice
roy bravely led his troops to the attack.
Arrived at the south gate, he there met
the various officials, who advised him to
retreat, and he accordingly returned in
disgust and vexation to his Yamun. His
wife, laying down principles of propri-
ety, rebuked him for his conduct, after
which they both hanged themselves
The petitioner prays the Emperor to
confer marks Of distinction on the de-
ceased Viceroy and his wife. His Maj

Who Holds the Public Debt of
France.


Who Holds the Public Debt of
France,
The great bulk of these rentes have
found their way into the pockets of the
French farmers. 1t was foand, when
the temptation was placed before them,
that nearly every farmer in France had
a secret hoard of gold, " Napoleons "
and five franc silver coins, of the exist
ence of which there was suspicion, but
of the fact or amount little was known.
The common people of France rarely
deposit their money in savings banks
or anywhere else except in an earthen
crock in the ground. But every French
man, no matter what his politics or re-
ligion-whether he is royalist, Re-
publican, or Communist; Catholic, a
Protestant, or a skeptic-has absolute
confidence in the solvency of his gov
erumsnt, and is willing to loan his last
franc, shirt or pair of sahota. The sub
sorint;ons for the national loan to liber-
ate France from the occupation OF the
hated and abhored L'Allemagne Ger
mani. amounted to four or live times
the sum required; and at all places
where the books wsre opened to re
ceive proposals for rentes, there were
great crowds, much excitement and
contention, end scrambling rush
to reach the books. For twenty-four
hours in advance OF the time for opening
them long lines of women held their
places, regardless of rain or heat, wind
or weather, and ippatisntly waited for
the procession to move upon the books
and make their offerings Of so many
hundreds orIthousands francs each; for,
In making these subscriptions, the wo-
men manage the business, as they DO
pretty much every other business IN
France-the men standing helRlesGly
idle. and watching their spouses With the
feeling which the inferior has for the
superior.
