SCsPIcIoUs.--A teamster in the
employ of f'ensier 4 Co., of Virgin
ia City, was on Christmas Eve found
in q very snpicious predicament.
Mr.. Beckwith the storekeeper of
the Virginia Relief Committee, atter
locking the storehouse for the night
had occasion to again visit the build
ing, and on arrival was not little
astonished TO find the door open.
On entering and instiruting search
he discovered the tealnster alluded
to under one OF the counters, appa-
rently arranging to carry away some
of the most valuable goods. The
fellows team being hitched near by
would lead one to suppose that to
have been the original intention, al
though the ''soft parchment" was
emphatically denied. The teamster' 8
name is Champlsin and he seeks to
make light Of the affair, but we doubt
ii this sham -pIayin' will avail him
in his explanatory converse ion with
the memorable Justice Cox to day.

FAIR PLAYA CARD TO THE
PUBLIC.

As our fellow citizens we'll know,
the undersigned have been to great
expense in fitting up in proper
shape, and in keeping in operation
constantly, through bad as we'll as
good weather, line Of passenger
coaches between Silver City and the
railroad station at Gold Hill. No
matter how bad the roads or how
stormy the weather, our drivers
have faithfully performed their
duties and have kept up q regular
and uninterrupted communication.
From time to time, other parties
have put on a coach 1--WE do not
dignity it by the name of "opposi-
tony with the avowed intention OF
drumming us off the line." To this,
recognizing the fact that everyone
who chooses has the right to engage In
the business OF stage driving;we don't
object, and only publish this card TO
call particular attention of the pub
lie to the fact that the parties so loud
in their determination to "run Ben
netts off the road" only run during
fair weather and good roads, haul
ing eff their coach and team during
every storm and season of mud, and
leaving the travelling public to dis
appointment so far as they are con-
cerned. Our coaches run regularly,
in all kinds of weather, making bet
ter time and Offering greater degree
of comfort than the old rattle trap
which runs semi occasionally, dur
ing fair weather, over the road; we
have given the people good ana
reliable coach line, and shall still
maintain our way of doing business
We believe we are entitled TO the
| pubic patronage under these cir
| cumstances, aud hereby respectfully
solicit it. All we ask is fair play
and no tavors from other stage men

TROUBLE AHEAD.-The jolly Sam
Graham looked as Cross rs a saw
buck and as sour as an old maid
yesterday, and when we asked what
unlucky fellow he WAS about to
annihiiate, he said some one had
taken his nice overcoat at the ball
the other night, and forgotten to
return it. Sam looks just as If he
knew who the fellow is, and there's
going to lie trouble about that coat
to-day.

CHRISTMAS TREE AFFAIRs.-We
can hardly pass this subject by with
our meagre and incomplete notice of
Sunday, without thanking Miss
Holmes, assistant teacher in the pub
lie school, for the interest she has
taken in providing suitable present
for not only each Of her scholars,
but for every child in town who at
tended the distribution. We yester
day went to the trouble Of looking
over the accounts rendered by those
who furnished the presents, as we'll
as the list Of money received by the
teacher. In doing this We find that
Miss Myrs Burnell collected the
handsome amount of $50 25, and
Miss Minnie Farr the almost equal
sum OF $43 so; other lesser amounts,
added to the above, aggregated the
sum. of $l66 80. In the bills rem
dered and examined by us person.
ally we find an aggregate of $l79 80
-Sl2 so more than has been re-
ceived by the teacher. We are in.
formed that this deficiency between
receipts and expenditures is expected
to be made up from Miss Holmes
own earnings, she not wishing to
make another draft upon the liber-
atty of those who have already con-
tributed. This is all wrong, and the
gallant young men of Silver City
should put an additional "feather in
their caps" by making the deficit
good. We know that the teacher
does not expect it, and it woulo
therefore be all the more pleasant
surprise. Miss Holmes has beer
the leader in the Christmas Tres
movement, has conducted the finan
cial affairs fairly and economically
and should not be allowed to sustain
any over plus of expenditures. W.
hope this hint will be sufficient.

LABOR.


LaDor 10 worship"
We never fully understood the
real significance Of this word, until
the other day, when in Virginia, we
we stood ON the same spot where last
October we watched the incarnate
fiend of Hades stride through her
populous streets, leaving in Its
tracks-mid smoking embers and
falling ruins-desolation and pow.
erty. Now but few traces remain to
win our sympathy. Fine buildings
are rapidly replacing those destroyed,
and among charred trees and burnt
shrubbery, cheerful homes are ap-
pearlng, and on men and women the
care-worn look and tear.stained
cheek are seldom met; the men meet
you with a manly, courageous look,
and there is hopeful tenderness in
the women's faces like q new Joy
born in their hearts. What a grand
lesson this building of a new city
within the waning Of few months
teaches US; it proves that in our esti-
mates of the ills of life, we never
sufficiently take into consideration
the wonderful elasticity of our moral
frame, the startling facility with
which the human mind accommo-
dates itself to all change OF cireum-
stances-no matter how dark and
threatening the future may seem,
there is little light in the heavens
that has ever inspired hope since the
shepherds first traced their course
from the Chaldean plains-it teaches
us that "labor is worship" and in
whatever avenue of life the swea.ed
brow and toil-stained hands are
found, there we see the real heroes.
He the true ruler and conqueror;
He the true king of his race,
Who nerveth his arm for life's combat
And looks the strong world In the face"
We owe more to labor than stately
edifices, lofty monuments and float.
ing palaces, more than the Injuries
it leaves at our doors, for the infiu-
ence which physical exertion exer-
cises is not confined to the place of
its performance; its power and glory
is heard from the chambers of the
learned and wise, and the greatest
inventions were first wrought from
the brain in the busy workshop, and
voices whose tones moved q nation
to war or peace, first glended their
knowledge by the light of the fire.
place or the moon after the days
work was over-they were all nur-
tured on the sad and loving breast Of
labor. Some were reared IN the
cottages of Europe;
some in the Lighthouses of America,
some in the factories of the great
cities, in the midst of toll, in the
smoke and din of labor, and often
on the verge of want; and often
their infant slumbers were enjoyed
while the tired mother rocking with
her feet and her hands at the same
time were busy with the needle or
the wheel. Evidence is positive
from wherever civilizations enlight-
ing rays are felt, that to succeed,
labor is the essential attribute. The
earth is ever laboring, the restless
ocean is ever destroying and rebuild
ing; the whole creation, even to the
first struggling violet OF spring,
labors and teaches us that the grand
est lesson of lite is to
Work for some good, be It ever SO slowly;
Cherish some flower, be il ever so lowly.
Labor!-all labor is noble and holy.

A rumor gained currency last
evening that a prominent mill man
up the canyon, had "absquatu-
lated under suspicious circum-
stances. We knew the man had
failed in business, but should dis
like to hear of his committing a
dishonorable action. Do not be too
quick to believe street rumors.

A GALA NIGHT AT DAYToN.-It
seems pretty well established fact
at present that the grand masquerade
and fancy dress bali to DC given at
Dayton on New Years Eve, will be
the recherche affair of the season !;
and from the extensive preparations
being made by the young people Of
Silver City, we judge the entire
dancing force of the city will be
there. The sly stitching being car
ried on by the girls, the long medi-
cine talks" INDUCED in by the boys,
and the number of buggies and rock
Always spoken for, all point to the
double success of the fun-feast to be
spread by the Dsytonises. We are
Informed by the Reception and In
vitation Committees that the strictcst
order will be preserved, and that no
improper persons Will be admitted to
the dancing floor. This is right, and
if the order is adhered to Gas we
know it will be-, it will rebound TO
the credit Of those in charge. Good
music has been secured, and most
satisfactory arrangements have been
made for a good supper. Those not
being able to secure private teams
can, without trouble or heavy ex-
pense, engage coach, make up
party. and get down in that way.
As we understand, each one is ex-
pected to furnish his or her costume.
Those which are plainest will be the
best. Go to the Dayton masquerade,
if you wish to put in happy New
Year. Tickets Sc so.
