In SLIcES.-Tt was q CAV and live

In SLICEs.-It was o gay and live
ly four-in-hand with an expert in
charge of the ribbons, a commodi-
Gus carriage, q trio of Gods best
gift to man and three more of His
less important bestowals to woman,
that sailed out of the city early in
the morning for days pleasuring.
Close observation would have dis
closed huge lunch baskets slowed
away under the seats, grave-looking
synonyms of sociability peeping
out their black muzzles from wicker
covers, and fragrant Havanas re-
posing in matchless grace in boxes
brown-all mixed up with No. l
CATERS and No.11 brogans. Through
Gold Hill and through Virginia,
and over the road that leads to
Steamboat, Bowers Mansion and
happiness; with the snow-capped
Comos lifting their towering crests
heaven ward in the dim distance
and the ubiquitous and iniquitous
toll-gatherer lifting his uncanny
palm at every turn of the road to
Tighten the pockets of the passer-by.
Whining past quartz mills and
quartz mines, past farms to-be and
farms already; drawing reins and
corks at cooling streams, drinking
health to our guardian Angel and
his guiding star in beauty and
brown linen; toasting the progress
of Education and it s-myth-ical god
dess, and praying cold Sol' to put
on his robe of clouds; hating at
Steamboat Springs-that oasis in
the desert-with a rest to the bron-
chos and q bath for their burdens.
A goodbye to Steamboat and its
urbane host, and smart trot to the
lonely and lovely castle that stands
grandly monumental to the memory
of Sandy Bowers and his twenty
feet of Comstock." Soon the swell
tering nags are housed in hospitable
stables, and the lawn under the
trees is spread with all the ingenui-
ties and inventions of woman and
wet flour, and paired half-dozen
are making merry on the grass on
one of the finest afternoons of the
Spring. You wouldn't care to know
all the nice things that were said,
nor to go through the mansion, as
the proprietress is just conducting
the Spring renovations for the Sum
mer campaign, and everything was
topsy-turvy. We draw the veil of
silence over the trials of q friend,
disperse the feast and feasters, and
are once more behind the prancing
steeds on the homowarl .drive-G
delightful one, intersperel with
comment and song-via Empire
home in the twilight, and with
promises to repeat, close one of our
happiest days in Nevada.

SCARLETINA.-It is pretty sickly
season here just now for the child
rem. There is hardly a family in
town but the children have the
measles, and DR.. Kirby informs us
that there is every indication that
the town will be scourged with
scarletina of the most violent type.
So far we hear of but one death, but
there are quite a number of cases
which are thought to be hopeless.
Mr.. Killeen, foreman of the Buckeye
mine, has three children very ill
with the disease at the present time.
In consideration of this threatened
epidemic, and the prevalence of the
measles among the children in our
midst, we would suggest to the
School Directors the propriety of
closing the school for time, until
these diseases have partially, at
least, disappeared. A crowd of
children huddled together in school
room, be it ever so well ventilated,
is prime spot for contagion and the
unnecessary spread of the disorder.
We are satisfied that there would be
no objection of parents to proceed
ing of this kind on the part of the
Directors, and that the temporary
closing of the school would prove a
wise sanitary precaution.

picnic June 18th, the weather per-

the benefit of st. Paul's Church,
Virginia. The committee of ar
rangements are making the fullest
preparations to afford good time to
all those attending, and authorize us
to extend cordial invitation to our
patrons and public generally in this
vicinity. Aside from the attractive
ness of the grounds and the pleasure
to be had by days junketing in
the country, the object sought to be
benefited is one deserving the CO.
operation of our people. Tickets to
the picnic and dinner are 50; child
rem, 81. A club may purchase 100
tickets for S75, an offer that has been
made especially to induce the people
of Dayton, Sutro and Silver, to join
in the expedition. There will no
doubt be good attendance from
this locality.

OATEs.-Mrs. Jas. A. Oates and her
comic opera company will appear at
Piper's Opera House on next Mon
day evening, opening with the
"Princes of Trebizonde," and chang

al and stay of the Oates company will
be the theatrical event of the season,
and we more than expect that the
Opera House will afford room for
only a portion of those who will de-
sire to hear this charming actress
and her talented company. We adj
wise our people to secure seats early
if they wish to make certain of see

THE MINT.-The annual closing
down of operations in the United
States Mint at Carson, occurs on the
18th of next month, at which time a
general overhauling of the institu-

the officers. The loss on gold in
melting and refining is one per
cent, and on that of silver one and
one-half per cent. We understand
that our Nevada Mint stands exceed
ingly we'll at the Department, and
has furnished a good many valuable
suggestions to like institutions
throughout the country.

One More Victim.

"The abundance of money lying idle in
New Orleans is subject for comment
Fourteen millions of dollars are unem-
ployed in our banks" The gentleman who
writes our monetary articles is responsible
for the above assertion, and if the radical
Democrats do not lash him severely for tell
ing such an important truth then their
patriotic fire must have cooled down to q
point not far from Zero He is, indeed, a
bold man who dares to publicly announce
such things, and then pile on the agony by
asserting that we actually have more avail
able money in this city today than at any
time since the war. Had he dared to make
a like statement to congressio nal investi-
eating committee it is probable that White
League orderly would have for mally or
dered him to leave for parts unkn own, or
at least condemned him to ever lasting
infamy. Such truths should not be pub
lished as long as we have Repub lican
Governor, according to Democra tic ethics.
Those of that creed would have all bank
presidents say that their vaults are full of
protest ed paper

General Butler.

The NEW York World recently contained
the following kindly reference to General
Butler. 1T is in marked contrast with the
acrimonious tone which some socalled Re-
publican papers indulge when speaking of
the "men| Der from Essex"
Though not a distinct or graceful speaker,
the mono mt his voice is heard the House
fills. So suddenly do the gentlemen come
in that it looks as if they had sprung from
the floor. In domestic life no man could be
more char fitable, gentle and pleasing; he is
q true friend, both in public and private.
His memory is prodigious; he can examine,
crOss-exatnine, and sum up case without
taking q note. He is familiar with every
branch OF light and solid literature, and his
wife, who is a beautiful reader, reads to him
great deal. BY the charm of his CONVEX
sation and his perfect courtesy of manner
he becomes almost handsome. He has
always lited quietly, extending hospitality
to few favored friends, whose recollection
of that home before the beautiful daughter
left it Is one of the most charming pictures
in the world.

Determination Of the House Republican

Speaker Blaine Admits the Necessity

REPUBLICANS UNITED AND HARMONIOUS
PROBABLE FIzzLE OF THE JETTY SCHEME


WASHINGTON, February l3. 1875.
In order not to antagonize the pend
ing bill creating the new government
of the District of Columbia, Senator
Morton consented to postpone his resolu
ton admitting Pinchback until Mon
day, when it will be, after discussion :,
decided in favor of the admission of Pinch
back. A majority of the Senate are known
to be in favor of his admission. Demo-
cratic leaders here are becoming terribly
alarmed at the determination of the Repub-
licsn majority in Congress and the admin
istration to protect Life and property in the
reconstructed States. They have tele-
graphed for Governor Hendricks, George
H. Pendleton and others to come here
and consult as to the propriety of defeating
the appropriation bill SO az to force an extra
session of Congress and thus defeat the
Republican plan for settling existing
troubles.
The House Republican caucus decided to
support the bill reviving the habaes corpus
act of 1865. Speaker Blaine, who has been
Father conservative, heretofore, now admits
the necessity of radical action. Large
numbers Of prominent Republicans are
here from all parts of the Union, and sll
are unanimous in support Of the admins
tration and the Republican majority in
Congress. The party was never more har-
m0niOus than now.
Although the Committee on Railways
and Canals in the House has decided to
adopt the recommendations of the engineer
commission for the improvement of the
mouth Of the Mississippi, the measure will
not receive the support of the members
from the Western States, generally.

How the Democratic Platform of 1872
Was Attached to the Civil Rights Bill.


Hon. John P. C. Shanks, of Indiana
placed the Democrats in Congress in very
embarassI ing position during the discussion
of the civil rights bill. He offered as an
amendme at and as preamble to that bill
a portion of the Democratic platform ot
1872, which reads as follows
Whereas, 1t is essential to Just govern.
ment we recognize the equality of men be.
fore the law, and hold that it is the duty of
governmd mt in its dealings with the people
to mete oht equal and axact Justice to all,
of whate4 er nativity, race, color or persua-
sion, religious or political; and it being
the propbr object of legislation to enact
great fundamental principles into laws:
Therefore, Be it enacted, etc.
This wd bitter pill for the Democrats
to swallow, Mr.. Nlblock, of Indiana, de-
clared th% 1t his party had been intimidated
by the Cincinnati Convention at the time
it adopted that platform. 1t was deemed
almost too farefaced. however, to alto
gether Ego back" on SO recent a party en-.
actment, and forty-two Democrats voted
for the amendment and twenty-five against
it. They finally consoled themselves for
this wren nch to their feelings by voting
solidly against the bill which was to carry
out the principles enunciated in that portion
of their forgotten CT eed which had been
prefxed TO it.

that the delay In the publication Of the

his. The State appropriation for the print
