A Rich Angel Entertained Un-
awareS.

Troy fresb
A few evenings ago there dropped
into an uptown hotel a man about
five feet eight, with heavy chin whis-
kcrs, and rather intelligent cast Of
countenance, but slightly under the
influence of liquor. He was attired
in rather scedy and patched suit,
but clean. lie wal ted lodgings for
the night, and inquired Of the land
lord if he could "bunk" with him.
The landlord, not liking his condi-
ton and appearance, told him he
"guesscd not.' The stranger took a
seat and entered into conversation
with some of the boarders. The
landlord, discovering during the eve
ming that he was an educated man,
remembered the saying of f"entei tain
ing angels unawarcs," told him he
might stay if he paid in advance.
The stranger ut once took out about
ten dollars in currency, and rendered
= five dollar bill in payment. The
landlord soon after took him to bed,
and left him in the room, but station
ed himself where he could see the
occupant Of the room. The stranger
after taking his boots off, got down
on his knees in front Of his bed and
delivered the Lords Prayer III ;.most
impressive manner, after which he
prayed for all the inmates Of the
house, for his friends and for his
enemies, hat they might be preserv
ed from all danger and that they
might be happy. lie then arose and
commenced undressing in the mean
time talking to himself and making
expressions like the following: "What
fool l have been;' "Some thieves
might have picked me up" II wonder
if | have got it," The last remark
was explained by his taking two
,rgc rolls Of bank bills from diff
ferent parts of his person, which he
put under his pillow and soon got
into bed. The landlord says he never
heard the Lords Prayer repeated III
more impressive manner. The
strangerisa heavy lumberdealerfrom

And the two men went away driving
their cows before them, and shame
faced air, greatly in contrast to the
look Of triumph with which they be
fore had quilted her presence.
The fence was built, and the strife
ceased when the cause was removed
but it was long before Miss Lelitia's
part in the affair came to the public
ear; for she herself maintained a
strict silence concerning it, and en-
joined the same on her man-servant

1 OWE NO MAN A DOLLAR

Oil do not envy, my own dear wife,
The wealth Of our next door neignbor,
But bid me still be stout of heart
And cheerfully follow my labor.
You must know the last of those little debte
That have been our lingering sorrow,
Is paid this night; SO we'll both 60 forth
And shake hands with the world tomorrow.
Oh! the debtor is but q shame faced dog.
With the creditors name on his collar;
While l am king and you are queen,
For we owe no man q dollar!
Our neighbor you saw in his coach to-day.
With his wife and his Haunting daughter,
While We sat down ut our coverless board,
To . crust and cup Of water.
saw that the teardrop stood in your eyes.
Though yOu tried your best to conceal it;
knew that the contrast reached your heart,
And you could not help but feeli.
But knowing now, our scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar.
You'll join my laugh, and help me shout
That we owe no man dollar!
This neighbor whose show has dazzled your eyes
In fact, is wretched debtor;
pity him oft, from my very heart,
And wish that his lot were better.
Why, the man is the veriest slave alive,
For his dashing wife and daughter
Will live in style though ruin come;
So he goes like lamb to the slaughter:-
But he feels it tighter every day,
That terrible debtors collar!
Oh what would he give conld he say with us
That he owed no man dollar!
You seem amazed, but Ill tell you more:
Within two hours met him
sneaking along with frightened air,
As il u fiend had beset him.
Yet he fed from very worthy man,
Whom met with the greatest pleasure,
Whom called by name and forced to stop.
Though he said be was not at leisure.
liz heid mg last nott, SO held him fast
Till he freed my neck from the collar:
Then shook his hand. as proudly said
Now. l owe no man a dollar!
All. now you smile, for you feel the force
OF the truths have been repeating;
l knew that downright. honest heart
In that gentle breast was beating!
Tomorrow I'll rise with giants strength
To follow my daily labor;
But ere we sleep. let us humbly pray
For our wretched next door neighbor.
And we'll pray for the time when all shall b'
free
From the weight OF the debtors collar;
When the poorest will lift his voice and cry,
Now owe no man dOlar!

A Silver City editor bushes for
the ignorance of three young girls
of that city who tried to get their
horses head down so that he could
drink by unbuckling the crupper.
Probably the same girls who I'M
buckled the breeding strap going
down hill, because it pulled against
the poor horses so.--Corinne Mail.
We want it distinctly understood
that the above alludes to Silver
City, Idaho, and John Hay, of the
" Avalanche. Nobody but Cor
inne male fiend would go after the
poor. dear little creatures in that
fashion. We know but very little
about the Idaho girls, but there
isn't girl in Lyon county but can
drive four-in-hand with as much
ease and grace as Cupid does his
chariot and doves, and if that
"Mail" monster could just see one
of our girls pull the ribbons over
the dash and throw silk at pair of
broncho leaders, he would go on
foot the balance Of his natural life.

Howard Hill, the carrier of the
TINES, who was so badly injured by
the falling of his horse last Friday,
hobbled into our sanctum yesterday
to say that he wasn't quite dead yet.
Howard is hard man to kill, but it
requires considerable pluck to walk
around on those crutches with bad
ly bruised hip, as he is doing. He
wishes us to extend his eart-felt
thanks to the people of Dayton who
so kindly cared for him at the time
of and since the accident. Professor
o. E. Nash, has provided Howard
with buggy, and Mr.. A. A. Atkins
has furnished horse for it, so that
our plucky circulator will be on the
route as usual to-day. Mr.. Hyams,
of Virginia, will assist him until he
fully RECEIVERS from his accident.

First Nevada Artillery.-Lieu-
tenant Howard Hill informs us that
the new military branch Of our
State government is now thoroughly
organized, the subordinate officers
having been elected and the full
complement of 100 men having been
enrolled. A committee was ap-
pointed at the last meeting to pro-
cure uniforms for the company and
to secure hall for drill purposes
and as an armory for the storage of
the company's equipment and prop.
erty. 1t is desirable that the drill
Of the company should commence
as early as possible, and to this end
the Lieutenant Governor has been
applied to tor arms, etc. 1t is un-
derstood that the State will only
furnish the armament and allow a
small sum ($75 per monthly for rent
of Armory buildings; SO that the
company will be obliged to pur-
chase and be at the expense OF keep
ing their battery horses. To pro-
cure suitable hall for an armory
and drill room seems to be the diff
Guilty at the present time, as the
halls which can be obtained are
either too small or are rendered I'M
suitable by middle supports. In
this connection it will not be con-
sidered over-officious in the TIMES
to suggest what seems to us the best
way out of the hall trouble. There
are few halls so constructed that
they would answer the require.
ments of a drill room for an artil-
lery company, and it seems to us
that the building of an arrnory es-
pecially constructed for the purpose
is a necessity. This we believe
could be accomplished with but lit
tie actual expense to the organiza-
ton, if the building committee would
make the proper movements. Doubt
less the committee would, on solicit
tation, find many private individ-
uals who would donate handsome
sums for such purpose, and after
raising such sum as could be
gathered from this source, a very
considerable additional fund could
be received through First New
ada Artillery Ball." picnic, or some
other entertainment of the kind.
The pittance allowed by the State
would be amply sufficient to pay the
interest on the sum that would at
first be required to build the hall,
and with proper and industrious
management the company could
soon have hall of their own. The
building would be a joint stock
p, operty, and the cost of erection al
ready reduced by outside subscrip-
ton and entertainment benefits,
could be raised by small monthly
assessments upon the members OF
the organization. The company
comprise the necessary energy, abil-
ity and financial skill to accomplish
this result il they will only make
up their minds to build them an
armory, and we hope to hear that
the meeting of next Wednesday
evening have taken our kindly sug-
gestiOns into consideration.

Dull Times-A general dearth of
news to-day, so Norton tells me, and
they say, he knows a thing or two
about the "comings i'm and "goings
out" of every one that comes to

down. Now it is strange with all
his lore he cannot catch the news
before common clod like you or
me who're not supposed "all things

I'm not content to bidsGod speed
but in true friendship seek to aid to

away to feed himself upon such

day as when in ancient time poor
Eve made our first father cen be-
lieve that black was white and sour
sweet, and apples good enough to
eat. And ever since, o Woman!
thou hast made us lords most hum

glad, if every other man is sad.
And now s'dear Harry a word with
you about that "mother;" it will not
