The new popular History OF
France is Am honor 10 the ilDustri-
GUS name of GuiZOt. 1t has been
accepted as a classic even by the
political enemies of the author.
Yet it is a popular history, written
to interest and inform all classes
of readers. There is NO display Of
eruditiOm, no accumulation Of dry
details. The character and deeds
OF the great men of France and
the influence of decisive events
are developed with dramatic pow
er. TIE spirited engravings which
illustrate the American edition are
in harmony with the design of the
author. Such a work cannot fail
to be a constant source of delight
and instruction to the pOssessOr.

LEADING A cow.

An Iowa paper has the following !:
Every woman will tell you that a
man can be led easier by putting an
arm around his neck than by pulling
his hair, but we never knew till re-
Gently that The reason you can't lead
cow behind a wagon is because
she objects to having her horns pull
ed. A red shirted emigrant, on his
way to Carroll county had COW
tied to the end of covered wagon
which held his entire possessions -
Behind with a sharp stick walked
the emigrant giving her smart
welt occasionally when she hung
back. Every now and then she
would brace herself and stop the
team and in Funclerical language he
would beseech her to go on, mark
ing each forcible period with prod
of the sharp stick. The poor COW
rolled her eyes and protruded her
tongue. The poor emigrant, too,
was dirty and tired, but his voice and
stick didn't fail him. She had sud-
denly halted the procession in front
of the post Office and was shaking
her head in reply to hie earnest en-
treaties, when man called out to
Red Shirt that he didn't understand
cows worth cent"
"Well, what are you going to do
about it 7" asked Red Shirt.
"Why, just take that rope off her
horns, and put it around her neck,
and she'll lead as quiet as lamb. =
If she don't I'll follow her mile my
self"
The rope was changed to her neck
and the team started. The COW
gave look Of surprise and walked
along.
"WelI, that beats all" said Red
Shirt, and without word Of thanks,
be mounted his wagon. The pro.
cession moved slowly on toward
Carroll county, and the cow followed
with countenance as placid as if she
were walking homo at milking
time.

SOME ONE TO LOVE.

Perhaps one of the most positive
proofs that we have Of THE souls indie
pendence of the body, is our great
need of love and something 10 love
We're we mere animals, creatures
doomed TO perish after few brief
years of life in this world, that which
contents the brute would, also con-
tent US. To eat and sleep, to have
an easy time Of it, would be enough.
As it is, we may have allthese things,
and health to enjoy them, and yet be
utterly wretched. Neither can men
tai food satisfy us. "Some one to
love-" is our hearts cry.
When the atmosphere of tender
ness is about US, we rejoice; when
people are harsh and unkind, we
suffer. We begin life wishing TO
love all people, and believing that
they love US. Experience har-
den us. Our dear ones grow fewer;
but as long as reason lasts, we must
love some one, we must at least
imagine that some one loves U.s.
The parents, sisters and brothers,
that dearest friend whom we promise
to love and cherish until death parts
us, these come into our lives and fill
them up. Afterwards come the
little children, frail, helpless babies
who need our care 30 much, and
friends to whom we are not kin, yet
who grow dear to US.
Some have many loved ones, and
some but one. Heaven help those
| who have none, though they are
generally to blame for their empty
heartedness for kindness will win
love. They are always wretched,
and they often show their craving
for somthing to love by cherishing
some dumb animal--a dog, kitten, q
parrot, perhaps, on which, better
spent, would have bound some
human heart to theirs. Pride, OF
morbid sensitiveness, may have been
a. the bottom Of their loneliness, and
these pets of theirs fill the aching
void little.
Some one to love! 1t is tho cry
Of the human soul, the note to which
every heart responds; the bond
which will bind us all together in that
other world where mourners shall be
comforted and love shall reign for
ever.

THE ENGINEER.

Not one in a thousand of the mil
lions of persons, who. throughout
the world, daily take their places in
the comfortably cushioned railway
coaches, and loll back III INDECENT
security, bestows one thought upon
the SCOT begrimmed, keen-eyed man
who sits in the engine, and holds in
his hands the dear lives of the
thoughtless throng who are so secure
in their luxurious ease.
They come and go for business,
for profit, and for pleasure. Every
day, iammed and crowded, uncon.
scious of danger, and ungrateful OF
immunity.
And it is the same with the mag
nifcent floating palaces which ply
our streams and traverse the ocean.
In the gilded saloons the song, the
Jest, and the convivial bout goes on,
while down in the dark, hot and
sitting engine room, deafensd by the
clank of the front joint of the pom
derous giant, putting and grooming
in the throes of its Herculean task,
the patient, watchful, keen,eyed
engineer sits unknown, uncared for
and unthought of.
And yet, hidden away in that cell
of pandemonian clangor and dark
ness, and all uncared for as he is,
that engineer holds in the palm of
his hand the lives Of all on board
One moments's relaxation of that
watchful care-one moments closing,
in sleep of that watchful eye-one
false movement of that steady hand,
and the heart of humanity would
grow sick with the tale of disaster
and of death.
And then the engineer would be
thought Of then would his name be
heard, and though his own life had
paid the forfeit of that one short mo-
ment of fatal carelessness, his name
would be linked with disgrace, and
spoken of only with excavations and
with loathing.
But for all this, he tolls on
watches on, and the marvellous i'm
munity from accidents with which
the millions of people travel, tells
how faithfully he tolls, how keenly
he watches. Does society appre-
ciate such men as it shouldY Does
it accord to them the distinction that
is honestly theirs
We fear not. But then we do not
know as it matters much. Social
honors at best are but frothy things.
Society is something like a stream
Its strong waters run deep; its
foam and its froth floats on the sur
face.
The engineer, the machinist, the
mechanic are the deep, strong wa
Iers. The little puppies who dress
in broadclo.h and suck gold headed
canes are the hecks of foam. The
foam may Autter and dance and
sparkle, but clutch it in your band
and it is fzzle. The water is al
ways pure and strong below.

COL. II. II. JONES TELLS TALE ON
THE CHANGERS.

On the train we learned from
reliable gentleman just from the
West, that the Oranges in that quar-.
ter were buying up and Strengthening
thousands Of hogs, and holding the
meat to speculate on their Southern
brothers. One house, that of W
B. Whiting u Co., Columbus, Ind
ana, had already killed and packed
for a single grange, 10000 hogs,
which we're still held for higher prices
though net profit of five dollars
per hog could be realized on the
original cost, this day. Our inform (
ant asserted that this practice was
becoming so general, that it was
difficult for dealers to buy meat at
all in the West a. this time.
II Western grangers are really
pursuing this course. our farmers
will be worse off than when st the
mercy Of the middle men exclusive
ly. For tbs latter were isolated, and
competition tended to keep prices
within wholesome bounds. But if
whole communities combine and
mass their produce, and then hold
it for speculative figures, the South
ern consumer will indeed be in bad
fix. This circumstance shows how
difficult it is to harmonic the inter-
ests of all sections in country of
such vast extent as ours, The ac-
ton Of Northern grangers, if correct
ly stated, must destroy the national
ity of this order, and result in the old
role of separation Happily, how
ever, the remedy is in our own
hands, whenever the South has suf-
fercd sufficiently to apply it--and
that is embraced in a single sen
tence Plant less cotton and raise
more meat and provisions. These
are the talislnanic words which would
infallibly work but the redemption of
the South.

NEWSPAPERS. There is no book
SO cheap as newspaper, none SO
interesting, because it consists of a
variety measured out in suitable
proportions as to time and quality. -
Being new every week or day, il
invites to habit Of reading, and
affords an easy and agreeable mode
of acquiring knowledge, SO essential
to the welfare of the individual and
the community. 1t causes many an

have been spent in idleness and mis-

DUEL IN INDIANA.
Indianapolis Journal, Janarry ISL

Last Saturday night, while a
party of young people Of jamestown,
Boone county, town some fifteen
or twenty miles northwest OF here, on
the l., B. and w. railroad, were
returning from dance, two members
Of the party named Briggs and
McClain, the former assistant
marshal of the town, quarrelled over
the privilege Of accompanying one
of the females. High words ensued,
and finally it was decided to repair
to neighboring commons and settle
the difficulty by an appeal to arms.
The madmen, for such they were,
repaired to the spot selected at mid
night. 1t was arranged that they
should stand back to back, advance
three PAGES, wheel and fire, the
distance separating them being only
six PAGES. The arrangement was
carried out, and at the first fire
McClain fell, the ball from Briggs
pistol having gone clear through his
neck Briggs was unhurt, II il
reported that after McClain fell,
Briggs walked up to where he lay
and deliberately shot him twice
more, both balls taking effect in the
body.
Briggs was arrested, and under
went preliminary examination, and
was held to bail in the sum of S., 600
to await the result of McClain''
woulds. The condition of the latter
is considered hopeless, as the tw'
balls last fired into him can not b.
found.

Of man, however unfortunate, how

VINO TuET AEE-We mentioned the
fact, a few days siuce, says the Ch.os;;clc
Of yesterday evening, that man named
Cook had stabbed and attempted to kill
his wife at the International Hotel, San
Francisco. Both the parties are from
this State. George II. Cook was for
nerly a brakeman on tbs Virginia and
Truckee Railroad, and subsequently
worked about the wood drives at Empire
City. The woman stabbed was Mrs.
Matte 4. Flanders, for many years a
highly respected married lady Of Empire
City, who, last July, left happy home
at Empire ostensibly for the purpose Of
going Fast, but on reaching Reno she
fell in with Cook and the twain went to
Sacramento. The rest of the story has
been told by the dispatches; he grew
jealous and weary Of her and attempted
to kill her.

OUR SCHOOL QUESTION.

Ali personal matters aside, let US speak
of the important question which the
people OF Carson axe soon TO decide, to
wit: The enlargement Of OR school ia
cili.iss by an addition to the schoo!
building. Will the tax payers vote the
tax question yes, or no? 1t is OK should
bs known to ell interested that there are
now OF the school lists for this district
about four hundred and Fifty scholars.
By law Of the State all are required to
attend school a certain portion Of the
year. There should be, if our schools
are properly conducted, an average al
tendance of at least three hundred and
fifty. The present school building was
calculated for not more than tive hundred
and fifty. Now we contend that it is
imperative on the people of the dis.ric:
to furnish room for the largest probable
number to attend school in the district
The amount asked for by the Trustees
is four thousand dollars-this will prob
ably require an assessment Of three mills
on the dollar prospective valuation.
Everything pertaining to the building
and furnishing of the present school
house has been paid in full, and We may
safely assert that much of that e1pendi-
ture has already been returned to indi-
vidua!s who have awaited themselves Of
the advantages offered by our excellent
school, and much more would have been
saved had the capacity of the school
building been sufficient to accommodate
all who desired to attend. Now 1 be-
lieve there are three positive points in
Iavor Of this proposition which cannot
be controverted.
First-That the Law of the State makes |
It imperative on the town to furnish the |
necessary accommodations for all the |
scholars i'll the District.
SeconG-That the moral requirements |
II tie community demand the establish
neent of good public schools wherever
to do so.
Third-That the laboring classes (the
'nly real producers of wealth to the
ountryl whose means will not permit
hem to send their children to private
Institutions of learning, should have the
privilege Of such free schools as will af-
ord their offspring good business edu-
alton. These are positive requirements
'hich need no argument to prove, al
hough volumes might be written in their
But there are other tangible reasons
or improving our school, which should
i've to the question an unfalterins yes,
nd which. We think, if properly under
.ood and considered, will oblitsrate all
esitancy in the matter of sanctioning
lis small appropriation for the public ]
ood.
As brsvity is required in your limited
,lumns, must defer these points for a
lbsequent issue, not forgetting that "a
ID tale is doubly sad when long" I
