SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-The political
contest in Nevada is at fever heat, being
conducted with great acrimony and per-
sonal bitterness Kendall throws down
the gauntlet to Williams, the Democratic
candidate for the Senate, in language so
grossly offensive as to invoke a personal
conflict. The press is equally personal and
vituperatiye, each Of three parties having

long-horned Texas cattle, halted on lay

good-lsoking woman, seven children and
considerable plumber. A man, small
boy, and a dog that had run to tail, were
the adjuncts. The paaty were from Tex

in Decatur county. An Alderman of

of bis life in the lone star State, aud
whose heart and mind were stirred with
delightful memories at the familiar long

One Of the healthiest signs Of the
times is the cheerful tone Of the COM
mercial and financial columns Of the
leading city papers from New York to
New Orleans. In many of these cities
money is very abundant low rate of in
terest. A Memphis paper asserts that
money has not been so abundant there in
ten years past. At other points it is
said that thousands are stored away in
the banks with no application for it.
Money alone is of little value, compara-
tivley. There must be something to call
it into action. What We really need to
make flush times, is plenty of money and
plenty of stock and produce all over the
country. Unless we have articles of
commerce and trade there will be noth-
ing to draw the currency from the
banks and money leaders, to be put into
circulation. Men will not borrow money
at current rates to pay debts that only
draw six per cent. If money is confined
to the Golfers of the lenders, it becomes
as useless as a standing army in time of
peace Hence we would urge it upon
our farmers everywhere to make the
most of the present years. crops and
then bit of war among spectators and
themselves will bring out these reserved
money forces and times will be flush to
all.

Others, aud made a confession TO the
priest Of what she had done. He gave
her a ripe thistle top, and told her to 60

seeds one by one. Wondering at the
request, she obeyed, and then returned
and told her confessor. To her amaze
ment he babe her 90 back and gather the
scattered seeds and when she objected,
thatit would beimpossible, he replied that
it would be still more difficult to gather

which indicated coming tempest, and
looking away to the northward between

Nblack clouds looming up dark and
gloomy; all hands were now called, and
the ads taken IN as rapidly as possible.
We had scarcely gotten everything snug
below and aloft. when the full fury of
the storm was upon Us. the ship began
to Green and pitch in dangerous prox-

that beggars all description. the men
were running to and ffo shouting aud

at the top of their voices, which were
scarcely audible above the bowling and
shrieking of the wind, and above all was
q tremendous iceberg towering up farther
than the eye could reach in the darkness,
yet knew it was ogerhanging the ship
above the masts, by the shower of Ice
which was constantly falling from above
striking down man here and there, or
making a laundering noise as a huge
block would fall upon the deck. All
this was taken in by a single sweep of
the eye, and it, combined with the pitch
ing and tossing of the vessel as she
pounded on the berg served to constitute
q scene which will never be obliterated
from my memory.
We all knew that if the iceberg fell, it
would send the Flying Scud and her
freight of living souls to Davy Jones

was in getting OFF IA our boats before il

ing death, to push oil in such a raging
sea in our small boats. But il gave us a
chance for our lives, while to stay where
we were, would almost be certain death.
The men were soon treasured, and after
placing u few necessares in the boats,
they were speedily lowered, and We all
