EDITOR SILVER STATE. Things
have been very quiet indeed since my
last. The weather is uhprecedentIy
bad, and farmers generally are growing
about 1t. 1t is now raining right lively.
and the ground is thoroughly saturated.
l told You in my last that the sick
ness. which prevailed here for SOME
time, was abating. but I was sadly mis-
taken. as it seems to have taken a
fresh start. Robert O'Neal's wife has
been at the point of death for the
last week. DIR. Hntchins has been up
to see her twice. and learn this morn
ing that she is better. Mrs. Robert
Burge has been very sick, and / learn
to-day that two of her Children are very
sick. II Is not very uncommon for
three or four of family to be sick at
one time. The doctor we expected
from Kansas has not yet arrived. and
I think it doubtful about his coming
at all.
The peace of our little village was
disturbed and thrown into fever of
excitement by free fight. just as
our singing school had started, the
scholars were startled by loud talk.
when we looked to see the cause of it.
big six footer Was trying to over
power little fellow who would weigh
scarce one hundred pounds. 1t looked
rather comical to see the little fellow
dodge the blows aimed at him by his
brawny antagonist. The little fellow
in turn would jump up and let the big
one have it on the fly. He got in q
home thrust on one of his eyes, and put
it in mourning. The six-feo.er then
tried to hang a rock on the little ones
ear, but missed his mark, and then went
off rubbing his sys-as if he had had
enough. He had better let fighting out
as he singled out the smallest man in
town and then got the worst of it.

time at Christmas, as it is intended to
have Christmas.,ree and ball, in the

should be pleased to see you and others
from Winpemucca here on the occasion.

was standing in the saloon talking with
two or three men, when James Huber

gun. Hayes said he was unarmed. and,

The balls entered the ceiling and wains-

Both the bslligerants stood well under
fire, and no arrests have been made.

FRIEND -.
arrived at this place yesterday after
voyage of thirty-seven days from.
Southampton. England. Twenty-sesen
days to Cape of Good Hope, and ter
days from there to this place. This is
the nearest point to tho mines, which
are about $50 miles distant.
We stopped at the island Of Madeira;
/ went ashore to get wine and fruit of
the inhabitants. who are mostly Portu-
guese. They offered me ride in the
omnibus from the beach to the town,
but refused. The vehicle was built
on pair of iron runners, with top re-
sembling our Western mud-wagons,
and was drawn by pair of superannu-
ated bulls.
SAINT HELENA.
The next place we stopped at was the
island of st. Helena. Many of us went
ashore TO see the tomb of Napoleon, but
we were told it was on the opposite side
of the island and some six miles distant,
so we concluded not to go. We went
mp to see the fort, which is built upon
high rock, reached by 707 stone steps
from the waters edge. don't think l
could 60 up to the fort but once day.
This is one of the military posts of Her
Mrjesty's government. There are about
four thousand inhabitants-some white,
some yellow. some black and some
speckled.
CAPE rowN.
The next place we touched was Cape
Town, in Table Bay. This is a very
pretty place of about fifty thousand in
habitants. made up of English, Dutch,
the native Malays. which resemble
Cinnamon, and few Kaffirs or negroes.
The town is made up chiefly OF low.
one-story houses. though there are
some fine mercantile and public build
ings. At the Cape l took the coast
steamer to Natal, thousand miles dis
taut. We touched at several small
towns about the size of Corinne or Elko
along the coast and one at Algo Bay.
DURHAM.
This is a fine business like place,
with broad streets, substantial brick
and stone buildings, and is the terminal
point of forty mile railroad. The
town contains about eight thousand in
habitants. The streets are lined with
tropical trees, such as orange, fig, ba :
ana, mulberry, lemon. and other varie-
ties.
THE TRANsvAAL REPUBLIC.
where the gold mines are, is owned by
the Dutch. I've met men here from
the mines; they give very fattering re-
ports. Miners are required to pay a
monthly license of five shillings (Sl.25)
and no blacks are allowed to mine I'M
less they are employed by the whites.
The gold is all coarse.
This country is said to be very
healthy. The entire journey will cost
me about five hundred dollars.
I will start for the mines in a few
days. when will write you again.

franklin street school House.

We have been at loss to know
why it was that the Free Press has so
persistently abused apd blackguarded
our trustees for the change and repair
of this building. It does now seem
that reason for this may be found in
the fact that the proprietor of that
sheet is a brick maker, and was flat
tering himself with the hope the trus-
tees would decide on tearing the old
building out and erecting a new one,
and give him the contract of furnish
ing the brick! We repeat: this looks
like a solution of the question. He
further desired to force the Republi-
can Board into the expenditure of a
vast sum of the peoples money. on a
costly building, on q lot of ground
not quarter large enough for the pur-
pose, and wedged in as it lie between
two streets where there is an impossi-
bility. of securing adjacent lots-he
reaping the lions share OF the profits
from such an enterprise!--then, after
the matter il over, and the money ex-
pended, and he enriched thereby, point
to it as specimen of Republican ex-
trayagance and corruption.
The wisdom and foresight Of the
The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1875-09-15

trustees can now be seen. In the re-
pair of the building (Which has only
cost the city a few hundred dollars)
they have secured to the use of the
city six good and comfortable rooms,
capable of seating very nearly, or
quite, three hundred scholars; and
good, with ordinary care, at least for
ten years to come. In the mean time
the trustees can select a piece OF
ground somewhere near the center OF
the district and erect more substan-
tial structure. By that time the pres
ent lot will have enhanced in value,
and can be sold for more than double
the amount of money it has cost to
put the improvements there. The
trustees have acted wisely in this mat
ter, and deserve the thanks of every
good citizen.

In rambling around the city the
other day We halted few minutes at
these famous works. A door at the
west end was open and We stepped in.
It was the engine room. Two men
were there at work, putting up an old.
dilapidated engine. 1t looked as if it
had been wrecked or, blown up good
many rears ago. Possibly, thought
we, it had done good service aboard
one Of our war vessels, and went
down to the bottom OF Lake Erie
during Commodore Perry's victory in
1913, and had been brought to light
through the instrumentality of our
diving bells! We asked one of the
men in charge where the thing came
from?
What was his reply.
We turned to the man and asked
him. Ie 6a[}
He said columbus.
We said sit looked like good en-
CINE. but not quite SO bright and
clean as the one that was used in the
United States Mint. at Philadelphia. -
We then walked out into the main
building, but saw no sights there.
Turning to a side door on the north
where some men were at work, we
approached them and asked several
questions, but, failing to get any in
formation from this source, we left,
bordering in our mind the immensity
of this structure, and the vast bene6 fits
that would flow from it to the people
of Richmond.

WE learn that ON Thursday after
noon, at Eaton, Ohio, while john
Robinson's show was ia full blast,
there came up sudden storm. The
wind tore the side of the animal tent
loose and folded it up, broke the CEN
ter pole of the ccircus tent and folded
up the dressing tent. the elephants
walked away and the horses belonging
to the ring went to grass. During the
confusion that ensued, many children
got lost from their parents, which, of
course, set the women to screaming,
and men to swearing at the loss of
their hats, etc Taken all in all it
was most lively time Dozens of
hats were tramped under foot and en-
tirely ruined, ladies dresses torn and
injured. and many children consider
ably bruised and frigk tened by the
falling hail. A heavy rain, accom-
panied with startling peals of thunder,
mingled with the cries of the animals
and cracking tent poles, added more
terror to the scene, and in the efforts
of the multitude to escape, several
persons were seriously hurt.
