The Senate Finance Bill.

A WASHINGTON Associated Press dis
patch gives the following as the leading
features of the new Finance bill agreed
upon by the Senate Republicans in eau
Gus on the 10th and passed by the Senate
on the 22d:
FSrst-Free banking to be open to all individ-
uals and associations without limitation of capi-
tai.
SecOnd-The retiring of an amount of green
backs equal to so per cent of the amount of the
new National Bank notes issued until the green
back circulation shall be reduced to $500 1000 0O0
after which no further reduction OF greenbacks is
to take place. 1t is claimed that by this pro-
vision there will be neither expansion nor con
traction of the currency as about ~ per cent. is
now required as bank reserves.
Third-The withdrawal and destruction of
fractional currency and the substitution of silver
coin, the arrangement TO go into effect soon as
practicable under the direction of the Secretary
of the Treasury, who is authorized to any
surplus money for supplying silver coin, and, if
this is not sufficient, to sell the requisite amount
of bonds of the series to obtain the funds for
that purpose.
Fourth-Removing the cost for the coinage of
gold at the several mints.
Fittb-Resumption of specie payments to COM
mence on the first day of January, 1879
The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized to
use any surplus specie in the Treasury; and if
that is not sufficient to sell bonds in order to OBJ
tain gold to pay Treasury notes. But this last
provision does not. like the others, go into imme-
diate effect. The Legal-Tender act remains un-
disturbed.

ADAM AND EVE OYER AGAIN..

ONE summers day7-the tale is told
An honest peasant, poor and old,
Worked in the meadow with his wife,
When thus she spoke: "Well, on my lifel
"ris precious hard that you and
Must sweat beneath the burning sky,
Like galley slaves, for paltry pay,
And all because-alas the dayi
OF Adams fall But for his sin
And Ewes how happy we had been!"
"True," said the peasant; Il believe,
Had been Adam-yOu been Eve
No foolish fancies would have come
To drive from our Eden-home;
But all the race this very dav
Had in the garden been at play!"
The Count, their master, standing near
Though quite unnoticed), chanced to hear
Their wise discourse; and, laughing, said
'Well, my good friends, suppose instead
OF Paradise my mansion there -
Were yours to-day; with princely fare
For food to eat and wine to drink,
Would that content We, do you think?'
'Ahi that were Paradise indeed!
What more,'' they cried, ''could mortals needr'
well we shall see" the Count replied;
"Bat that your virtue may be tried
Remember, on the table, served
With many a dish, there's one reserved.
Partake of every one you see
Save that, which (like the Fatal Tree)
just in the the center will place.
Beware of that! lest Adams case
Should be your own, and straight you go
Back to your sickle, rake and hoe!"
Soon to the castle they were led,
And by a table richly spread
AS for a bacchanal carouse
Behold the peasant and his spouse
See," cried the woman, what treat!
Far more, I'm sure, than we can eat
With such excess we well may spare
The dish that's in the center therel"
"WhO cares for thats' the peasant said
(Whilc eagerly the couple fed
From all the plates that round them lay.)
= My dear. wouldn't look that way!"
No harm in looking!" said the wife;
" / wouldn't touch it for my life"
But in their minds, al length there grew
strong desire for something new;
Whereat the woman said, " wish
knew what's hidden in that dishl''
And, to be sure,' the man replied,
" Merely to took was not denied!"
" And even tO2ching it, said she,
'Were no great harm, it seems to me;
OF course, will not lift the lid;
And lOhO lCOuLd kn0W Hif L dur"
She suits the action to the word,
When from the dish little bird
(The Count had silly hidden there)
Came rushing forth into the air,
And through the open window flew;
And go it was the master knew
What they had DONE Away!" he said
. Back to the field and earn your bread
AS you were wont-and nee complain
of Adam and of Eve again!"

a first class article always brings q
good price in any market, applies rs
much TO the products Of the soil and q
primo specimen OF livestock AZ il does
to anything which is offered to the
public. The best way to niso q sub.
%tantial and marketable quality of either
is by improving those now being pro-
duced, and the best why TO stimulate
these improvements is to bring the pro-
ductions into competition with those
that arc the result Of other portions of
our territory, while tho only sure meth
cd by which q. bring about this compc
tition is by holding fairs or exhibitions,
ut which they may be placed side by
side. aud judged according to their
real merit aud intrinsic value.
Elko county produces rs good ccrc-
MS, vegetables and the like as my por-
ton OF the State. Our cattle aud hors.
es are MS numerous and of rs fine blool
rs those possessed by my n~cighboring
county. In short we have one OF the
largest md best counties in Nevada, and.
II wo mistake not, our people ARE rs
liberal and cnterprising us in any other
section Of the Statc.
Why not show some of these points
to orr friends III such IL way ny to give
solid encouragement to NIL who may
desire to increase tho grade of their
production? Why not hold n County
Fair in Elko this Fall, and offer prem
iums for the choicest articles exhibited?
Elko Grunge of tho Patrons of Hus-
hnndry has Taken up tho matter, and
we hope to see it given the helping
hand by all who are identified with the
interests of the county, to say nothing
of those who desire to sec blUodel ami

rich and fruitful soil. One meeting
was held on Sunday last. but as the
valleys Of Il county were not repre-
sentcd it was deemed hest 10 ndjoin I'M
til tho third Of July next Mt which j. is
understood they will be on hand in full
force. One thing is certain we are able
to ilave q fair; have plenty of material
for it, and our business men and farm
ers express themselves us willing to ail
it in every possible way. lhey will
denote the money to pay the expenses
OF getting it up snch an exhibition, und
then they will bring such articles ns
they possess which will tend to add to
tho interest Of the occasion and make
things have n good appearance. we
hope to see n large attendance mt the

tile good work pushed ahead with n

the undertaking.
