The Hollister, (Cal.) "Enterprise"
bantam gets his feathers ruffied Le-
cause we suggested that Vasquez
and his greaser bandits had for
long time defied the whole OF
Southern California, and advised the
sending for two or three of the Mon
tana "Vigs" to gather in the band.
The Hollister man seems hurt in
tender spot, as is shown by the
terms in which he refers to the .sfel.
lows who strangled unarmed and
defenseless men, Without saying
what we think about vigilance COM
mittees, we do say that a regiment
of old women, armed with broom
sticks, would have done fully as
well against Vasquez and his band
as did the squad of deputy sheriffs
who have been for year past lag
ging the greasers all over the coun-
try in hopes of finding them asleep
or sick abed. If the Enterprise
bantam is deputy, he will please
not include himself in the above
mention.

FAIR PLAYA CARD TO THE
PUBLIC.

As our fellow citizens well know,
the undersigned have been to great
expense in fitting up in proper
shape, and in keeping in operation
constantly, through bad rs well 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 taeir
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-
tion") 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
Nets 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 and
reliable coach line, and shall still
maintain our way of doing business,
We believe we are entitled to the
public patronage under these cir
cumstances, and hereby respectfully
solicit it. All We ask is fair play
and no favors from other stage men.

MEDICAL SooIETY.-The physicians
of Gold Hill and Virginia intend to
organize society for mutual protec-
ton, social intercourse, and the diff
fusion of medical knowledge. At
theirdirst meeting, which was held in
Judga Cox's Courtroom, Virginia
City, there were present Doctors
Schnabel, of our town, Kirby and
Falconer of Gold Hill, and Hopkins,
Conn, Heath, Bergstein, Mclean,
Chaplin, Engels, Robinson, Gilling-
ham and Knapp of Virginia. DR..
Bergstein was chosen Chairman, and
Mclean, Secretary of the meeting.
Drs. Robinson and Chaplin of Vir-
ginia, and DR.. Falconer of Gold Hill
were appointed Committee on Con-
stitution, Bylaws and Permanent
Organization; Drs. Hopkins, Robin
son and Heath on Resolutions. DR..
Kirby of Gold Hill, whose knowl-
edge in medicine and success in sur
gerry has given him more than a local
reputation, addressed the meeting in
his straightforward manner, outlin-
ing the objects intended and the
benefit to be derived by the organi-
cation of such a society. He alluded
to other similar societies, and the
good derived from them, not only to
the medical fraternity but the people
in general. We have no doubt of
the success of this laudable under
taking. and hope the ends desired
may be attained.

Weston, Ellis and Thompson, col

18th in New York. The death of
Ellis was shocking, he turned his
head after the moose hsd been ad-
justed, disarranging the knot and
before it could be readjusted the
trap sprung. He endeavored to ease
himself by catching hold of Thomp-

succeeded in freeing bis hands and
catching the rope above his head,
when the knot slipped around and he
was strangied to death.

A movement looking to the erec-
ton of a monument to the memory
of Col. Z. ID. Baker, killed at the
battle of "Ball's Bluff" is meeting
with much favor from the western
press. His virtues more than
equalled his vices; lie was an Eng
lishman who loved his adopted
country better than his native land;
he was soldier who held honor
and patriotism dearer than life, and
a friend who recognized in every
honorable man brother entitled to
a brothers sympathy. AS an orator,
his equals were few and his superiors
not OF his generation. AS a man
and citizen he was almost reverently
loved by his friends, and if hated he
was also admired by his enemies.
Let his respected ashes be memoir
lied by the tribute of his adopted
country, even as his memory is kept
fresh in the hearts of his fellows by
the ties Of true friendship.

Henry Ward Beecher says: In a
large sense all things are religious,
but the school must not be regarded
as religious institution. 1t is secular
and must be kept secular, and should
be defended against anything that
should make it any thing else than
secular. 1t is not right for me to
read my Protestant Bible in COM
mon school where substantial fellow
citizens-Jews or Roman Catholics
send their children, and oblige them
to hear read what they do not believe.
1t is not right for the Roman Catho-
lies to read their bible, and oblige US
to listen. Fair play is the doctrine,
and it is not fair play for the MAORI
ty to rule the religious teaching of
the children OF the minority.

WOMAN AND THE MILLENNIUM.
BY WINFIELD SCOTT.

Many of the readers of the STANDARD
doubtless remember a recent article from
my pen advocating the moral growth of
the world, and indicating in the sequel
the near approach Of the millennium.
l now hope to be able to produce
series of short articles, setting forth more
fully my views, and establishing more
firmly the foundation upon which 1 base
my millennial expectation. am APP
prised of the probability of being criti-
the Darwinian order; therefore, consider
ate criticism is courted by your humble
writer whose aim is the enlightenment
and amel&oration of humanity.
In my view of the indications of an
approaching period of tranquility and
happiness, the outlook is most hopeful.
see nothing to fear, nothing to recoil at,
Notwithstanding the fact that wicked
ness and sin darken the world as never
before. Things are often obliged to grow
worse before they can grow better. The
most gloomy and dreaded hour is just
before the break OF day. Slavery never
was more vile, insolent and grasping,
than in its last days, when it was culminat-
ing to its determination. And so the
superlative degree of crime, vice, and
sin that now reigns, is fast approaching
the eliminating point The excess of
wickedness in the world may be regarded
as an indication of the expiring struggle.
The moral or spiritual nature is concen-
trating its forces, and making due prep
aration for the final contest with the
powers of the flesh and devil; and Ly
the strength OF heaven will usher in
new era OF peace on earth and good will
among men.
Though the millennial era may dawn
quite suddenly, taking the world by sur
prise, as the coming of Il thief in the
night; yet l look for no such instanta-
neous transition from darkness to light,
from evil to good. 1t is hardly probable
that we shall retire at night in world
aboundng with sin and wickedness, and
awake in the morning and find ourselves
in a paradise abounding with love and
holiness. Such would be miraculous
change in time Of no miracles. God
worketh no more by miracles, but alto
gether by instrumentalities. The instru-
ment that God designs to be the great
regenerative power in the establishment
of the reform, has been held in reserve
for ages. The good and allwise Creator
has clothed it with a peculiar might and
character, wholly adequate and especially
adapted for the work. The Almighty
has ever had his chosen tribes and elect
personages to act as leaders in great re-
formations and in the founding of new
eras Woman is the chosen instrument
on earth to carry the world forward, and
mark an epoch in its progress; to subdue
and reSenerate u material aye, and usher
