LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

KEEP AWAY. AS many persons in

~ "a that labor is in demand and work
easily obtained in Virginia City, and n
few talk of going to the burnt city, to
disaOuse their minds, we reproduce
the following from the Gold Hill News of
Monday: q" la the face OF the fact that
hundreds of people are to- day home
'tss in Virginia City, and depenGe 1t on
public chsrity for their support. there
are still great number of people so ut
tefly devoid of common sense that they
are docking to the city in the hopeSf OBJ
tanning work. To all who have any idea
of coming here we would say most en-
phatically-Keep away! This is no
place for you, for there are altogether
too many here now. Almost any place
IN the world is better. for a working.

that many of the ways of American

up skirts at the present time"

AbOut Cats.

Neighbor d. folks keep cats this win
ter-some five or six are usually lying
around handy to step over or sit down upon
if one is so disposed. But the other night,
when the mercury was down among the
twcnties, for wonder, all the cats were
missing.
When d. had finished the foreign news,
and Mrs. ID. had cross-eXamined the last
witness in the Tllton-B eecher case, the
family clock struck eleven, and they began
to think about putting themselves in their
little bed Immediately. Mr.. ID. filled the
stove and remarked in a tone of satisfac-
tom "Thank fortune, the cats are all out
tonight" Just then one quietly slipped
out from under the lounge and made its
way to the kitchen, d. following. They
took a few turns around the kitchen and
again. Under the lounge and over the plant
stand they went, ID. making frantic efforts
to clutch the animal, while Mrs. ID. calmly
inquiries, why don't you catch that cat ?"
Kitty spies the hall door ajar and rushes
up the front stairs, d. following, taking
two stairs at time, making sundry unsuc
cessful dives at the retreating victim.
They rush into one of the bedrooms and
est kerosene lamp in the house, and of
course she carried it very slow and careful
and on arriving at the scene of action finds
that d. has apparently stirred upa nest of
cats, for four of them are running hither
and thither, under the bed, and into the
closet. In her surprise at the turn events
have taken, she lets all four pass her
through the door and into another room.
ID. is a good man. He counted twelve be-
fore he spoke, and then he merely told her,
| with the air of a martyr, to bring the light
while he proceeded to the front chamber.
| Not cat was to be seen, but by creep
| ing around on all tours. and peering under
| lounges and into cupboards, the four cats
were found and the ball began again. Mrs.
| ID. held the light so the shadow fell on ID.
and the cats, but 1t was lively times there
fol few minutes. But in spite of the stir
she took that opportunity to see II the
room would need white washing in the
spring, and if the towels on the rack were
| the best damask ones or only the second
best. She got back to the door just as the
last cat vanished. ID. was slipperless. His
face was red, and his hair in disorder, and
he was obliged to count hundred before
he could inquire calmly, "If she knew
where those cats WERE SIN the other
front chamber, presume, see the door is
open," she replied carelessly. He counted
another hundred and inquired solemnly.
"Mrs. ID. did you ever shut door ?" In
this room she busted the bureau and shook
out the curtains, but the race here was OF
short duration. d. did not speak, but he
slammed the door fearfully as they took
their way to tho sitting-room once more.

The struggle of Capital and Labor.

The spectacle at Fall River of two great
interests struggling in opposition when in
fact they should be backing each other
the deadly clutch of two Infatuated beasts,
instead of the conference of rational and
civilized human beings-has been followed
by the refusal of mercy to the weaker,
falling and almost PROSTATE combatant.
Our American manufactures, says Boston
paper, may not be ready to adopt the
board OF arbitration as permanent insti
tuition in connection with the management
of their business, but they ought certainly
to have advanced, by this time, to the point
of humane enlightenment where they will
listen to an appeal for reference. To re-
fuse this is to confess an unwilhngness to
take less than their own arbitrarily fiXel
terms, right or wrong, just or unjust. The
great manufacturers of New England
might well afford to make themselves ex-
emplars of the best advanced civilization
in the relationships of labor and capital,
rather than of the ancient brutalities of the
law of force, outgrown even in Old Eng
land

Gently ordered by Arkansans. Had the

what political disorder costs state. That
the democrats prefer to keep open the run
ming sores of the south, notwithstanding
their firm political eloquence about peace,
is pretty satisfactorily shownin their oppo-
siton in Congress to the measures for the
pacifcaton of Louisiana. All that is needed
for the south is that both parties should
cease to use their troubles for political cap
ital. When the parties in the southern
states become absorbed on some other than
the race issue-and the political reform
achieved by South Carolina is proof that
this is practicable-it will become the in
terest of both parties to respect the rights
of the colored race and secure their sup
port by considerate treatment rather than
by intimidation. Exchange.

Nalcour is grieved. One of the presd-
ing geniuses of that blissful isle, Colonel
John Wilcox, lies in Jail charged with
stealing seventy dollars, the price of a stag
owned by Shpman, the great "mug wump,
which Wilcox had been commissioned to
sell. Instead Of turning the money over to
Prof. Shipman, he used it to pay Com
munty debt in favor of one of the leading
merchants of Burlington. This was hon
orable on the part of Colonel Wilcox, but
it displeased Shipman. The latter mme-
diately procured warrant for Mr.. Wilcox
on the charge Of stealing the stag, and the
colonel now lies in Jail. A Mr.. Fay, who
had mortgage on the Shipman estate has
foreclosed, and now holds possession of all
the Community property" The members
on the island some time ago resolved that
Elder Oren Shipman was fraud and that
he had taken money from them under false
pretenses. They have procured warrant
for his arrest and he dare not step foot into
New York state for fear of its being served
upon him.

The city of Jerusalem attained its utmost

rivalled those of Solomon, his famous pre-

the fact that neither hammer, nor axe, nor
any tool of iron, was heard in the house of
the Lord while it was in building. The
discovery of the quarry marks of the Pho
nician inasons on the foundation courses of
the great eastern wall of the mountain
shows that this reverent provision was APP
piled by King Solomon to the entire enclo-
sure. Letters so ancient that they appear
to be the common progent0rs of the Greek,
the Samaritan and the square Chaldean
characters, still designate, after lapse of
1878 years, the course for which more than
one stone was hewn, and in which it is still
found. Beth occurs on the stone of the
second course, Doleth on the fourth, and
numeral five on the fifth. The skill of
experts has been called in to identify the
letters but their unmistakable purport has
