A Hale Old Man..
[From the saersmsnto Bee.l

It is not often that a youngster Of CA
years Of age receives q letter from a
father 102 years old. Martin Rancich,
the we'll known restaurateur Of this city
is GA years Of age. Not long since he
sent some presents to his father, moth
or, sister and brother, who reside in Lu.
sin, Austria. Yesterday. Martins young
heart was made glad by the receipt of a
letter from his father, who is l02 years
old, acknowledging receipt OF the final
offerings. The letter was written by the
old gentleman and is q curiosity. II IL
written in the old Latin or Italic style 90
frequently seen among old records.
Every letter Is as plain as II made by
type, and every stroke is as fine and
true as II made by the hand Of q man
Of thirty. II informs Martin that his
mother, aged %, and his brother and
sister are well, and concludes with ITO
my dear son, who is a good boy. from
your father Dominica Rancich."
SO remarkable an instance Of vigorous
old age as that presented by Padre Do
minico is seldom met with. We may
here remark that the boy Martin Is a
true chip Of the old block. Though Ga
years OF age, no shows no signs Of gray,
either in his hair or whiskers,

Yesterday morning a number OF ru-
mors were in circulation relating to the
reported lynching OF two men on the
road between Elko and this place. The
rumors were soon exaggerated, and at
noon the number OF those who had been
SO summarily disposed OF by Judge
Lynch had increased to six. Nothing
definite rs to the truth or falsity Of the
report has been ascertained. though ON
inauiring OF those who had passed over
the road no such occurrence had taken
place to their knowledge. Later in the
day, il was reported that Jack Roach
and Dutch John. the celebrated three
card monte sharps, with two or three
"cappers," had been strung up near
Elko, but nothing establishing such to
be the case has been received.

Motive Power for Sewing Machines.

The Scientific Americun publishes a de-
scription. with diagrams, Of an apparar-
atus designed TO furnish a simple, safe
and cheap sewing machine motor. The
power used is clock work, and may be
attached to any machine. The novel
parts Of the machinery are the appli-
ances for securing n uniform e1ertion OF
power during the running down OF the
clock spring, and for regulating or alto
gether stopping the running Of the ma
chine. These appliances cannot be de-
scribed in detail without the use OF dia-
grams. but IL is sufficient to state that in
winding up the spring a crank is turned
which winds n chain first around the
large portion Of spirally grooved drum.
and that when the clock-vork Ia set in
motion ii begins to unwind the chain
from the smaller portion Of the drum.
Strong power is thus made 10 act on
short levers. and light power on long
levers. A brake, worked by the foot,
regulates the rate Of speed at which the
machinery is run. and q lever terminate
ing in a knob on the top OF the table, Is
arranged 20 as 70 stop the machine ut
the will OF the operator. The American
states that in a trial Of the apparatus,
eight turns OF the crank made in the
direction from the operator wound up
the spring and set the machine in opsr-
alton at full speed. estimated at about
720 stitches q minute for twenty min-
utes. II is estimated that the machine
would furnish power for continuous
work for half an hour. In the trial the
needle was driven through many thick
nesses Of muslin or linen.

CoFrEE VI. GouT.-Dr. Monehaux, in
the Rerve de Therupotigie, recommends
to persons troubled with govt to put a
tablespoonful OF green or unroasted
coffee in half n tumbler Of pure water, OF

has stood some twenty-four hours. to
drink up the liquid Immediately upon
getting up in the morning. The glass
Is again TO be filed with water. and the
drinking practiccd as before. The liquid
obtained in this way is of a green color,
more or less tinged with blue, according
to the kind OF coffee used. Without un-
dertaking TO determine the chemical
composition Of the water, DR.. NJ. states
that tho grains swell considerably and
sometimes sprout, throwing oil small
bubbles Of gas, which he presumes to be
carbonic acid, and he is inclined TO think
that the liquid attacks rathss the effects
OF tho malady than the disease itself,
supprcssing the former from day to day,
while the latter remains, thus rendering
the daily use Of the remedy necessary.
