Too Literal.

Among the scholars when Lamb and
Coleridge attended school was a poor cler-
gyman's son of the name of Simon Jen-
nings On account of his dismal and gloomy
nature, his playmates had nick-named
him Pontius PLATE. One morning he went
up to his master, DR.. Boyer, and said, in
his usual whimpering manner
"Please, doctor, the boys call me Pontius
Plate"
If there was one thing which Doctor
Boyer hated more than false quantity of
Greek and Latin, it was the practice of
nick-namiDg Rushing down among his
scholars from his pedestal of state, with
cane i'll hand, he cried, with his usual voice
of thunder:
"Listen, boysl The next time hear
any of you say Pontius Plate I'll cane

to say Simon Jennings, and not 'Pontius

Next day, when the same GLASS were re-

"suffered UNDER" and was about popping
out the next word, when the DOCTORS pro-
hibition unluekily flashed upon his obtuse
mind. After moments hesitation, he
blurted out .l.Ir

The rest of the sentence was never ut
tered, for Doctor Boyer had already sprung
like tiger upon him, and the cane was
descending on his unfortunate shoulders.
When the irate doctor had discharged his
cane upon him, he said:
"What do you mean, you BOBBY, by
such blasphemy9
"I only did as you told me-" replied the
simple-minded youth
''Did as l told you p roared the doctor,
now wound up to something above the
boiling point. What do you meaD9"
AS he said this, he instinctively grasped
his cane more furiously.

Fever and Ague Powders !
48#IN ron THE 98.#
PERMANENT CURE OF CHILLs AND FE-
YER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVERl
The Greatest Discovery Of the Age |

HNHERE are no diseases so debllitatng in
IL their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure in cases of the long
est standing, as we'll as prove o preventive In
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
case, totally eradcating It from the system,
and preventing return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear Of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed TO
cure the Chlls in any case. r vdIas
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED:
Their Reputdtion Is EstdbliShed. - Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles In
curing cases of long standing, many Of them
considered hopeless.
17ere Is no Risk in Taking TAsm. = They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy for they leave
the system in O healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of a relapse.
BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITs. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson d CFawford,'' on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.

THERE are thir.y-siy saloons. or places
where spirituous liquors are kept for
sale, within the city limits of Carson
thirty-six or more. The city numbers,
all told, probably no. less than thirty
six hundred inhabitants. These figures
are not given as exact, the lack Of pre-
cision, however, resulting from rather
under estimate as to the number OF sa-
looms and an over estimate of the num-
Der of inhabitants. Accept these figures,
and it appears THAI, Oh an average, each
saloon is supported by one hundred
persons. Two-:hirls Of the town popu-
Iation are women and cL:l;issn who. as
rule, do not indulge in the ardent to
any notable extent. This viii leave each
saloon to depend for its support on about
thirty three men. Take three from this
numbsr-and this allowance seems fair
in Far Western" conmunities-and We
find every thirty men in the community
supporting, on an average, one saloon.
This estimate may seem striking and ex-
aggerated. It is not, however. A large
majority of drinkers spend more for
liquor than their board comes to: and
there are not a few cut Of this same ma
jority who spend nearly all they make
for drink, scarcely reserving enough out
Of their earnings to pay for meals and
lodging. The above ID a sort OF general
