Virginia, Nevada, Enterprise
Some person at Franktown, Was
hoe Valley, has sent us a poetical ef-
fusion, of which we give below
twelve lines just TO show to what
condition love may reduce a man
when green corn is in season:
Thar is a CURL in Washoe Yallee.
Her giving name is Saliee,
/ wood was the thing um bob
Incide OF corn, what they call the kob,
And L could come steemin' hot
Rite out of the old iron pot;
So her rudy lips might correli me.
During which her pretty nose could smell
me
While her tung, so fair and yuns,
| Was around about me chung,
And she was a-caliin of me sweet.

The Ruling Passion.
[From the Pail. Mall Gazette.

A well-known sporting character
being on his death bed, was attended
by friendly divine of somewhat ner-
vous temperament, who, to console
him, expressed a conviction that he
and his penitent would meet here
after as winged angels.
"Areyou quite sure of that?' inquired
the dying man. "Quite sure" replied
his adviser. "Then pll fly you for a
sovereign" was the reply of the incor-
rigible gambler.
An enthusiast of this sort seems,
according to q local paper, to have
greatly distinguished himself on the
occasion of a fire which lately broke
out at the sampling offices of firm in
Liverpool. While the contlagration
was at its height, and the burning cot
ton was being thrown out of the Win
dows upon the flags below, a number
of brokers stood in the street discussing
the sum which the waste would realize,
One among them offered to bet a
guinea that the burned cotton would
fetch els, and, as this was apparently
far beyond its value, he found no
difficulty in finding persons willing to
take the bet, This he did until twenty
persons had accepted the wager for y
guinea each; he afterward went to the
sale and bought the cotton for Gl6,
which he then sold for &l2, sustaining
q loss of CA upon the purchase, but
pocketing sixteen guinea rs the bal
ance of his profits OH the transaction.

81 am Dying, Egypt, Dying

In connection with the republication
Of this beautiful poem, which is now
going the rounds ofthe press again, the
following anecdote concerning Its au-
thor, Gen. w. ii. Lyle, will he found
interesting:
A literary friend of the Generals was
walking along the street in Cincinnati
one day, when he was slapped on the
back by Lytle--who had been plainly
imbibing- and accosted with:
II say, c., | have perpetrated a
poem, and want your opinion of it,
Come in and hear it.n
They accordingly repaired to room
in neigh boring hotel, and, over a
couple of "brandies," Lytle recited his
"Antony and Cleopatra" The General
had full, rich voice, and was an excel
lent elocutionist, and G. declared he
was perfectly enchanted, and praised
the poem enthusiastically. Lyle
seemed surprised, for he said;
"Why, c., | am glad you think
well of it, for | was afraid to send it for
publication until | had somebody's
opinion of it. The fact is, wrote it
last night when was tight"
He then related that he had been
"around" with some friends, and re-
turning to his room, picked up a volume
of Shakespeare opening at the play OF
"Antony and Cleopatra" the first
words that met his gaze were those OF
Antony's dying speech--I am dying,
Egypt, dyingr' Struck by the words,
he seized pen and scrubbed Off the
poem. 1t was published in the Com
mercial a few days afterwards, and
created marked sensation. w. w.
Fosdick, n fine poet and critic, pro-
hounced it, in its peculiar style,
unequaled in the English language.

1t was in December, in the year 1861 /,
that the French expedition to Mexico,
subsequently commanded by Gen.
Bazaine, landed at Vera Cruz. In the
brief period of fifteen years since
elapsed, what lamentable fates have
overwhelmed four of the principle
characters who figured in that episode.
Macmillan was executed; his widow,
Carlotta, went mad; Napoleon LII. lost
his empire and died in exile; and now,
Marshal Bazaine, degraded of his
rank, and condemned to imprison-
ment, only escapes execution throqh
the elemenoy of the president of the
republic.-[St Louis Republican.

JUST so.

The Atchison Patriot abuses us roundly
because communication which appeared
in that paper few days ago was copied by
THE TINES and inadvertently credited to
the Champion. But it is hardly worth while
for the Patriot man to tear his hair at such
a rate, and imagine that all the world has
conspired against him, for mistakes u'a
happen sometimes, even in the best OF faml-
ies-in proof Of which We cite him TO his
own paper, in the same issue in which he
goes for rs so furiously, he copies an article
from the .Stdadud, and credits it Laurence"
But We assure our neighbor that the mis-
credit was purely unintentional on our part.
We look over oil of our exchanges carefully,
and make it point to take at least one
item from each, If We can find one worth
copying, and We take at least ordinary care
to see that the credits are properly given
but we have occasion TO write the name OF
the Rdtriot so seldom that our compositors
ar LOT familiar with it-and that accounts
for the error.

LET US HAVE 1T STRAIGHT.

We like wind-i,s good thing TO have,
on the outside of you, this hot weather
We also like dust One of our most dis
tisguished forefathers is said TO have been
made chiefly of this material, hence We have
Very great degree of respect for it. We
don't recognize any special obligations to
wind but as We never go back on our rela-
tions We ie,i bound to dust by ties OF cor
sanquinity. We like both these elements,
as We have already said, but We prefer to
take them one at time, and take them
straight" and are decidedly Of the opinion
that ii there is anything in this country that
is thoroughly disagreeablc, without one re-
deeming good quality, it is mixture pf
wind and dust, in about equal proportions
such as We have had served up to us during
the last lew days-a compound which seems
TO serve no useful purpose-not fit to breathe
nor Vet to raise potatoes in-quite too thick
for air and little too thin for real estate
scattering dirt and discomfort everywhere,
and blowing no good to anybody save the
washer-woman. We throw out these sug-
gestions in the hope that the clerk of the
weather may profit thereby and do better to-
day We can tolerate dispensation Of dirt
through the week, but all the people
whether saints or sinners, christians or
pagans, whether duty leads them to prayer
meetings or picnics, to church or the beer
garden-all Join in common desire to re-
men.ber the Sabbath day to keep it clean.

THE GREAT SCANDAL.

To the exclusion of the greater part of
our usual variety, We surrender most Of our
space this morning to full and reliable
statement Of the Beecher-Tilton scandal,
from the beginning down to the present
time. We deem it unnecessary to apologize
for thus monopolizing our space with sun
gle subject, as this great scandal is now the
paramount topic in social, literary, and
church circles, all over the nation, and We
reproduce this statement Of the case from the
Brooklyn Eagle not for the purpose Of PAN
dering to prurient public taste, but because
We believe it better for the cause Of Justice
and decency, and better for the parties most
immediately concerned, that the people
should have the plain Truth than the thous-
and-and-one unreliable and exaggerated ru-
mo.s With which the air Il filed.
As We said yesterday morning. there is not
the shadow Of . doubt in our mind that Mr..
Beecher has been guilty Of conduct not co..
sistent with the code Of morah that be pro-
fe.es to believe, but Standing, - be has
stood for more than quarter Of . century,

HORTICULTURAL.

Elsewhere in to-day's TINES will be found
an able and instructive article on ''fruit dry
ing from the pen OF DIR. W. NJ. Howsley,
one OF the most experienced fruit-growers in
Kansas, who has given the study OF life
time to this branch Of horticulture, and Is as
good authority upon the subject as any
other man in the country. As fruit-farming
is now one of the most important industries
of Kansas, and as The TINES has at least
twice as many subscribers among the farm
ers as any other journal in the State, 1t is
meet that We should devote a portion OF our
space TO such matters as Immediately effect
their interests and business, hence We shall
give, hereafter, in each issue OF the weekly,
carefully prepared article on iruit-growing
or kindred subjects.
