tence is to make money that will stand
the scrutiny of the most practised eye,
money that will resist the test OF ali
reagents of the alchemist, then will your
wealth be in proportion to the amount Of
the queer you can successfully shove.
Advice to such practised hands as you are
is useless I expect. Should any collec-
ton OF people ever ask you to represent
them in office Of trust or profit, display
patriotism that will be an example to
unborn millions of coming office seekers,
by asking "is there anything in it?"
What did the new Attorney General say
when rendered the position? What did
Grant say when offered the third term?
What did friend Of yours say down the
road here when he called for the box?
Is there anything in it..
Fellow bounty jumpers, conscripts and
members of the old guard-snd recog-
nize many old narrow-gouge fighters
among you-who were at the storming
of the heights of Bullionville under our
| first railroad Napoleon, and in the for
lorn hope at Pages Pass, when under
the leadership of an able commander
| who, amid O storm Of railroad spikes
fish plates and beef bones, gave utter
ance to that noble sentence that has
passed into military history and is en-
shrined in every soldiers breast 1.-The
first man that lays down, belt him with
the shovel" Soldiers, remember Nell
son, as his flag went up at Trafalgar and
that grand old sentence, Phoebe expects
every soldier to take exercise enough to
keep out of the hospital and save the
county expense. And when the storm
of outraged justice bursts over your de-
voted heads, and the lightning of swift
Judgment overtakes you in the commits
sion of some future crime, and the whirl-
wind assigns you to hard labor and the
dungeon, then will come that feeling of
soldierly satisfaction as at the prison roll
call some comrade will exclaim in an

The rising generation, on whom this
great money-grubbing republic depends
for its perpetuation, see that they are
taught those cardinal principles that in
the future will fit them to occupy ele-
waited positions in society. Teach them
the advantage of loaded dice and sanded
cards; teach them those Newtonian rules
that govern the spinning of roulette
wheels; that threes beat two pair, and
that an empty Henry rifle is better than
loaded fiint-lock. Teach them the Fit
teenth Amendment: do others or they
will do YOU" Too much learning over.

mined after learning to write their own
names they can stop; then will their

every detective from Dan to Bersheba.
Remember, brother criminals, that
honor is due among professionals, and
that good facial protuberance is pass
to oil elevated positions. While speak
ing OF cheek, l will quote q line from
Horace: Faint heart never got away
with another man 3 wife," Remember
also, that there is more honor in being
umpire at dog fight than teacher of i
Sunday-school class. More counterfeit
merit in being known as constitutional
liar than uselessly telling the truth. Re
member all these copper-fastened truths
and when the great keno game of life j.

and the devil gets the drop on you, as
hope he will, then will your posterity ex
claim, with honest pride. WE'LL the ole
