EVERYBODY in Nevada knows Jog gles Wright. Joggles is quaint ill his methods of verbal expression. He has "roughed it" on the frontiers fef many @ year, and there IS 8 strong flavor of sage-brush about him. Col. J. M. Walker tells this story about him, in connection with the inaugura- ton ball given at Richmond, a few years ago, by Governor Walker of Virginia. Col. Walker is a brother of the Governor, and of course he took great interest in the affair. Jog gles happened to be in Philadelphia at the time, and Colonel Walker tele- graphed him an invitation to the ball. Of course, Joggles accepted it, and he enjoyed the ball hugely. He was in trodnced to Mrs. Col. Mcclure of Philadelphia, brilliant and beauti- ful lady, attired in 8 gorgeous silk dress with an elaborate panier. Dur ing the dance one of the silken bands that held Mrs. McClure's panier gaze way. Joggles noticed it just as the lady extended to him her hand for the
 final promenade all" and he stop ped her at once with ''Hold on, Mad am, your pack-saddle's coming off. :" And then he gallantly busted himself in an effort to fix the thing, until his eye fell upon the broken band, when he gave it up, and in & deprecating tone remarked to the lady: "It's no use, Mrs. Mcclure you see, the cinch is busted" Virginia Chronicle.

An Ingenious Device.

A capillary correspondence was recently
attempted between a notorious Partisan
thief in durance vile and his comrades out
side. The prisoner was sent letter from
his fiance, containing merely a lock of hair
wrapped in the leaf of book. The jailor
did not consider the souvenir important
enough to be delivered, but Il few days
after came a similar enclosure, and yet
another. This aroused suspicion, and the
Governor took the matter in hand. lie
examined the leaf of the book, it was only
that of q common novel, twenty-six lines on
page. Then he studied the hair, and
noticed the small quantity of the gift.
Counting the hairs he found them of ull-
equal length. and twenty-six in number,
the same as the lines of the page. Struck
with the coincidence, he laid the hairs
along the line of the page which they
respectively reached, beginning at the top
with the smallest hair. After some trouble,
he found that the end Of each hair pointed
to a different letter, and that these letters
combined formed slang sentence, which
informed the prisoner that his friends were
on the watch, and that the next time he
left the prison to be examined, an attempt
would be made to rescue linn. The Gov
ernor laid his plans accordingly, the attempt
| at rescue was made, but the rescuers fell
into their own trap.

The First Blood of the Revolution.

AS this is The centennial year Of the COM
mencement Of the Revolution, everything
pertaining to incidents of the year IT'S
will no doubt be published in due time, and
we will sett ball rolling by telling our read
ers where and by what occasion the first
blood was shed.
Tt is generally believed that on April 10,
1775, at Lexington, the first blood was shed.
but Westminster, VT, files prior claim In
in favor of one William French, who was
killed on the night March IS, ITS, at the
Kings Court House, in what is now West
minister. At that time Vermont was a
part of New York, and the Kings court
officers, together with body of troops,
were sent ON to Westminster to hold the
usual session of the Court.
The people, however, were exasperated,
and assembled in the Court House to resist.
Alittle before midnight the troops Of George
III. advanced and fired indiscriminately
upon the crowd, instantly killing William
French, whose head was pierced by mus
ket ball. He was buried in the church-yard,
and stone erected to his memory, with
this quaint inscription:
''In memory of William French, Who
Was Shot at Westminster, March ye 18th,
1775, by the hands Of the Cruel Ministerial
tools of George ye Sd at the Courthouse at
a II o'clock at Night in the 23d year Of his
age.
Here William French his body lies,
For Murder his Blood for Vengeance Cries,
King George the Third, his Tory crew
That with ball his head Shot through
For Liberty and his Coantry's Good
He lost his Life, his Dearest blood.

A Famous Old Ship.

The ship Horatio, belonging to New Bed
ford, was burned at the harbor of Shang-
hae, December 10. She was remarkable
vessel, and had attained the unusual age
(for ship of forty-two years. Her archi-
lecture was marvel to contemplate. She
was built of live oak, copper-fastened, and
was constructed so solidly and Of such pom
derous frame, that although registering but
46o tons, her frame was as large as that of a
1900 ton ship of the present day. Her career
has been one of great success aud profit for
her owners. She never was obliged to put
into port for repairs, was never dismasted,
and never made claim on the underwriters
for damage to cargo. She had been built
for and always engaged in the East India
and China trade, and when launched, in
1888, was the largest American vessel in
this trade. Notwithstanding her extreme
old age, she rated Al, until burnt; and it
is estimated that her owners and the owners
of cargoes shipped in her have paid in
surance companies $500,000 for premiums
during her career. In her early life, before
steamship lines were established, she was
favorite passenger vessel. On one occasion
an infant was born on board Of her, and the
child, who has since grown to womanhood
and become mother, visited the Horatio
when she was last in the port of New York.
The strength and massiveness Of the timbeTs
with which this old snip was built
were ultimately one of the causes
of her destruction. When the fire
broke out, she was towed from her berth
to be scuttled, and the launch of the Amer
ican man. of-war Hartford, then at Shanghae
fired number Of 12-pound shot at her near
the water line, to make q passage for the
water A number of men were then sent
to enlarge the openings which the shot
had made-but so little impression could
be produced upon the heavy frame that,
after an hours hard work, the attempt
was abandoned. She could not be sunk
and burnt to the waters edge.

A Hard Winter in Sunny Italy.

Venice Letter to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The plain truth of the matter is, summer
is the only time in which to see Italy.
What you see in winter is not Italy it is
snow-covered hills and bleak plains swept
by the keenest winds that know of, it is
dull gray sky, broken now and again by
change of wind that reveals cold strips of
bare blue sky 1t IS a frozen soil, pinched
and frost-bitten people, who have no fires
because they cannot afford to have them,
and who are half starved because the price
of everything goes up when the mercury
drops. This winter is exceptional, I am
told. 1t is certainly worse than last winter,
but that was bad enough to freeze out ones
dreams of Italy. England is warmer in
winter than your famous Italy. | know q
gentleman here in Venice who goes to
England in winter ON account of the severity
of this climate. 1t is impossible to heat an
Italian house. They are built like prisons,
so as to keep cold in summer, and to protect
the inmates from the attacks of foreign
D.
were equal to this. But the mistake in all
Italian houses is that while they keep the
heat out in summer they keep the cold in
all winter: In the dreadful day" when
the world is to be consumed by fire have
not doubt in my own mind that these
Italian domestic refrigerators will be the
last things on Garth to get warmed through,
and it will be the first time they were ever
comfortably heated. have never known
such bitter and pinching cold in California
as one is sure to meet in the Italian winters
anywhere from Milan to Naples. The
summer is not dlsagreeably hot. Fever is
the only bugbear to be avoided. I had
thought of flying to Nice for shelter this
winter-for as all Europe is showed up, it
is useless to think of travelling. have
just the warmest nook in Italy, where the
palm trees line the streets and invalids
hope to live again in it's balmy and fragrant
| air.

Estimating the Value Of Quartz Speci-
mems.

The Grass Valley Foot-Hiu Tgdiags says:
There is rule for ascertaining very closely
the percentage of gold in mixture Of gold
and quartz, and we have taken pains to
condense and simplify from several metal
lurgical works before us, as follows:
First ascertain the specific gravity of the
gold specimen, by weighing it first in air,
and then suspended by fibre of silk, in
water, and dividing the weight in air by
the difference. Suppose it to be S.067.
The specific gravity of gold is 10000; that
of quartz is 1900.
A.-Deduct the specific gravity of the
specimen from the specific gravity of the
gold the difference is the ratio of the
quartz by volume:
19.000-S. 067-10.9 933.
B.-Deduot the specific gravity of the
quartz from the specific gravity of the spec
linen; the difference is the ratio of the gold
by volume
8.067-2. 600-5. .467.
C.-Add these ratios together, and pro-
ceed by the rule of proportion. The pro-
duct is the percentage Of gold by bulk:
10. 10. 467-16. 400.
1914 5.467 :. 100: 1886.
D.--Multiply the percentage of gold by
bulk by its specific gravity. The product
is the ratio Of the gold in the mixture by
weight:
33.35x19. 000-633. IS.
E.-Multiply the percentage of quartz by
bulk, by its specific gravity. The product
is the ratio of the quartz in the mixture by
weight:
66.65x2. .60-173.S9.
F.-To find the percentage, add these
ratios together, and proceed by the rule OF
proportion:
633. 85-i-173. .29--808.94.
s08.94 633.65 :. 100 1885.
Hence, mixture of quartz and gold,
having the specific gravity of 8.067, contains
1888 percent. of gold by weight.

The Presidents Estimation of Sheridan

The President, in recent conversation
with Representative Frye, of Maine, paid
very high compliment to Phil. Sheridan.
The President inquired of MIR. Frye, who
had just returned with the Louisiana Com
mittee, his opinion of Sheridan. The latter
said he had thought he was good man TO
lead charge in battle, but little more;
but that his visit to New Orleans has shown
that he was mistaken, and that, on the
contrary, Phil. Sheridan is man of very
sound judgment, aud manages affairs in
Louisiana with remarkable ability, notwith-
standing he is constantly iIsulted. The
President, in substance replied /" with

POETRY.
THE MoNEYLEsS MAN.
BY HENRY STANTON, MArsvILLE, KY

Is there no place on the face OF the earth
Where charity dweeth where virtue has birth?
Where bosoms in kindness and mercy will heave,
And the poor and the wretched shall ask and receive
Is there no place Oh earth where knock from the poo
VIII brlng kind angel to open the the door:
Ah search the wide oIld wherever you can,
The sis open door for the moneyless man.
Go look in the hall where the chandelier light
Dry off with its splendor the darkness of night;
Where the rich hanging velvet, in shadowy fold
Sweeps gracefully down with its trimming of gold
And mirrors of silver take up and renew
In long lighted yistas the 'wildering view;
60 there in your patches, and find if you can
welcoming smile for the moneyless man.
Go look in your church Of the cload-reaching spire
Which gives back to the sun his same look of fire,
Where the arches and columns are gorgeous within
And the walls seem as pure a soul without sin:
Go down the long aisle-sce the rich and the great,
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly estate
Walk down in your patches, and find if you can,
Who opens pew for moneyless man.
Go to your Judges, in dark, frownng gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth quietly down
Where he rowns on the weak and smiles on the str ong
And Furnishes right while be justfes wrong:
Where jurors their lips on the bible have laid,
To render a verdict they already have made
Go there in the court room, and find, if you can,
Any law for the case of a moneyless man.
Go look in the banks, where Mammon has told
His hundreds and thousands of silver and eold
Where safe from the hands of the starving and poor,
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore;
Walk up to the counter-ah there you may stay
Till your limbs have grown old and your hair turned
gray,
And you'll find at the hank moi one Of The clan
With money to lend to a moneyless man.
Then 90 20 your hovel-Io raven has fed
The wife who has suffered so long for her bread;
kneel down by her pallet and kiss the death frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty lost
Then turn in your agony upward to God
And bless while it smites you the chastening rod;
And you'll find at the end of your lie's little span,
There's welcome aboN for the moncyless man.
