rxroRr or rHE SUPERINTENDENT
on PUBLIC INSTRUCTION.

The Report Of the State superintsnd-
emit OF Public Instruction lies before u.s.
Il presents an encouraging summary Of
the progress Of public education during
the past two ysars. and . bright outlook
for the future. The permanent School
Fund Of the State has bean increased
from siOl.O 900 to s250. 900. and from
the General School Fund there has
been distributed among the several
counties during the past year. nearly
q 1000 more than in 1872. Over $780,
900 have been expended In the erection
and enlargement Of school-housss.
Thirteen new districts have been formed
and nine additional teachers employed.
The school population has increased
over 1900. and while We retain our po.
sition In the front rank Of States in re-
spses to tho average duration Of schools.
the amount expended per capita. the
average salary Of teachers and their pro-
portion to the school population, We
step into the front rank in regard to the
percentage Of attendance. Out Of the
6.305 children. between o and IL year
Of age returned by tho school census last
year, 5,3S2 were enrolled In schools,
leaving but 923 non-attsnaants, against
LIZA reported two years ago. This ID
an encouraging fact, and proves the bon.
shcial effect Of the compulsory school
Law passed by the last Legislature.
Tho Superintendent pays a high COM
plimsnt 10 this law. in saying that no
o popular measure has been passed
since his connection with the eduea-
tional department Of the State. aud sum
narizss the principles involved therein,
BY saying: '.the Law has made authori-
taiivs declaration Of the doctrine that
the requirement Of an elementary edu-
cation Is q sacrsdprivilegs Of every child.
and tina. to secure the enjoyment Of
that privilege il q sacred duty Of every
State"
Regarding the establishment and
probable success Of the State University
at Elko, the Superintendent expresses
the general belief in this section Of the
State in saying that '.thsrs IL reason to
believe that the location 10 an unfortsn-
ate ons." He gives reasons nearly idsn-
teal with those noted in tho Nrws a day
or two since. to.wit: the insuficiency OF
pupils who now or will be likely to attend,
and the comparatively sparse population
Of the town Of Elko aud surrounding
country. and to this we may add its dis
tancs from tho main portion Of the pop
ulation Of the State. The Supsrintend
ent remarks that cit Is extremely doubt'
full whsthsr tho State at large can realize
any special benefit from an institution
so situated" and objects to a draft from
the General School Fund for any de-
hcisncy In is maintenance. With the
report are also submitted extensive sta

woRp or EXPLANATION.

We tender M sincsrs congratulations
to the Reese River Rsreuk for IL suc-
osssful advocacy Of. and tho fair and
manly manner in which IL has treated
our objections to the principles OF legis-
lation involved in the Baltic Mountain
and Austin Railroad bill. The PROPOSE.
tons we made originated in honest con-
v%ietion. and were. a. we think. In direct
accord with the pledges Of the Republi-
can party. - marked out by its platform
Last October. We have had no desire "a
become an obstructonist. and are a.
glad q the Rsreuls that the people Of
Austin are 10 have what seems to b
their almost universal desirs-a chance
10 build o railroad. While We are
not convinced Of the correctness
Of the principle by which a mi
nority is compelled. against its will,
10 pay taxes for the institution or sup
port Of any enterprise not strictly Of {
public nature. We arc not the loss anI'
ious TO SEQ systems Of railroad commu'
nication extended throughout the State.
And. although. as on AN educational
question Of much importance, we have
been compelled to differ with the RersA'
il has been. We trust. with that spirit o.
courtesy and good feeling which should
ever characterize discussions Of import
ant matters through the public press.

Spiritual ssanss.

A lady spiritual medium. Miss Louie
". Kerns by namo. wants to hold apub-
lie spiritual seance. and applied for the
uss Of the Senate Chamber for that pur-
pose, which was refused; then she ap-
Piled for the Assembly Chamber. which
was also refused. This is hardly fair in
consideration Of tho fact that the use OF
the Assembly Chamber has been granted
to Mrs. Stsnhouss and Miss sallie Hart,
and the use OF the Senate Chamber TO
the gentleman who lectursd on osborn
Of HIS Locks." The lady claims that
she il refused on tho ground that her
doctrines are not orthodox; but I believe
IL is owing to 4 growing inclination on
the part Of members to shut OF this
free hall business entirely.

Converslon...What Is II!

To be a Christian is 10 live as Christ did.
1t is 20 look to God as your best friend, and
lean on him as your supreme helper; II is 10
overcome the temptations OF selhshness, in
dolence, impurity, pride, anger, and live a
puse, sweet, holy life. How are YOU going
TO do this Not by any single act Of self
conservation, however hearty; not by any
one experience Of Gods grace, however
sweet. You can be a Christian only by try
ing always with all your might and by look
ing continually 10 God for his help. What
YOU do when, as you hope, you begin new
life, must be done over and over again, 10
the very end. Il is often said: /" You can
give yourself TO God here and now without
a moments delay" In one sense this is
true, but it may be so understood as to do
great harm. For instance, man stands on
the dock just as an ocean steamer is about
to sail by a SINGLE step he can put himself
on board of her and then, without another
effort on his part, be taken straight and sure
10 Europe. But man cannot secure his
passage 10 heaven in that way. lie can do
only what a person does who goes long
journey ou foot. To start is the work Of a
moments and to start is great thing, if
done with clear and strong purpose 10 per
severe; but it is nothing at all, except as
one step after another is taken, growing TO
thousands and to miles, till the whole dis
tance has been measured.

but could not see so far as the stump. IL
got rather dull watching there; and being
amidst nice, cosy straw | presently went to
sleep, quite unintentionally. | must have
slept some time, though It seemed to Inc but
a very few minutes.
What woke me was q noisc-a sharp, sup
pressed yelp. II took me moment TO I'M
derstand where | was, and why was there
sound Of scuffing aud tumblng ON the
ground at some distance assisted my wand
ering wits, and rushed out Of the barn and
ran toward the field. As ran, two or three
dull whacks came to my ear.
Tom was holding and squeezing one Of his
hands with the other and shaking Il vio-
lently. He said not a word, and left me TO
poke about and stumble on the linn, warm
carcass Of a large fox that lay near.
Bite ye2" | exclaimed, after satisfying
myself that the fox was dead.
"Some," said Tom; and that was all
could get from him that night.
We took the fox to the house and lighted
candle. 1t was the silver-gray."
Tom washed his bite in cold water and
went TO bed. Next morning he was in
sorry and a very sore plight. Ills left hand
was bitten through the palm, aud badly
swollen. There was also a deep bite Ia the
fleshy part Of his right arm just below the
elbow, several minor nips in his left leg
above the knee, and ragged grab" in the
chin. These numerous bites however, were
followed by no serious i'll effects.
The next day Tom told me that the fox
had suddenly plunged into the grass that he
had caught hold Of one Of its hind legs, and
that they had rolled over and over in the
grass together He owned to me that when
the fox bit him on the chin, he let 60 of the
brute, and would have given up the fight,
but that the fox had then actually attacked
him. "Upon that" said Tom, 81 just de-
termined TO have it out with him."
We sold the fox skin in the village and
received thirteen dollars for IT, whereas a
common red fox skin is worth no moro than
three dollars.
How, or by what wiles that fox got the
turkeys out Of the high butternut, is Sc
cret-one that perished with him. 1t would
seem that he must either have climbed the
tree, or else have practiced sorcery to make
the turkey come down.-ScribRer.

Securing the Diamond.

All have read the story of the Burgundy
diamond-now. believe, the first jewel in
the crown of France-which, being found
upon the dead body of Charles the Bold
after the battle of Nancy, was swallowed by
the finder, who lived happily ever afterward.
Well, history has repeated herself in the per-
son Of gentleman recently deceased at
Brussels, who met with similar stroke
of luck in the diamond mines of the
Caucasus, where he was an employee OF
the Russian government. lie picked up
a brilliant of the first water, and appro-
priated it, but as every one undergoes
the strictest search ON leaving the neigh
borhood, he cut hole in the back of his
neck in which he placed his treasure, and
then waited patiently till the skin had grown
over it; then he crossed the frontier, cut
open his neck again, and sold the jewel to a
diamond merchant of Amsterdam for sl2,
600. This was better way than swallow
ing it, because subject to less Inconvenience,
and he never repented the two operations.
What is very curious, the Empress of Russia
for the emperor bought back again what
was by rights his own property from the first
wears at this moment outside her neck
what this lucky gentleman wore inside.

LIFE's Recommendations in this world
know | nothing than n peasant saint could
such now anywhere be met with. Such a
one will take thee back to Nazareth itself /;
thon wilt see the splendor of heaven spring
forth from the humblest depths of earth, like
a light shining in great darkness. 1t is not
because of his tolls that | lament for the
poor. We must all toll, or steal (howsoever
we name our stealing) which is worse. No
faithful workman finds his task a pastime
The poor is hungry and athirst but for
him also there is food and drink he is
heayy-laden and weary, but for him also the
heavens send sleep, and of the deepest In
his smoky cribs, a clear, dewy heaven of rest
enveops him, and ftful gatherings of cloud
skrted dreams. But what do mourn over
is that the lamp OF his soul should go out !;
that no ray of heavenly or even of earthly
knowledge should visit him; but only, ia
the haggard darkness, like two specters, fear
and Indignation. Alas while the body
stands so broad and brawny, must the soul
lie blinded, dwarfed, stupefied, almost ami
hilated2 Alas was this, too, breath of
God bestowed in heaven, but on earth never
to be unfolded I That there should one
man die ignorant who had capacity for
knowledge, this call tragedy, were it 10

ute, as by some computations it does.-

stand under a full boughed, heavy foliaged

And did you ever pick hower-either
from cultured garden or by wayside walk

stop TO think how all the wide earth bios

When We think of this omniscience, Of this

attributes Of that Power-unseen, yet ever
present untouched, yet ever felt-who gives
TO the violet its color, to the rose its fra

A Truthful Sketch.

Let a man fail in business, what an effect
it has ON his former creditors Men who
have taken him by the arm, laughed and
chatted with him by the hour, shrug their
shoulders and pass ON with cold How do
you dot
Every triile of a blu is hunted up aud pre-
sented, that would not have seen the ligh
for months TO come, but for the misfortunes
of the debtor. If it is paid, well and good
il not, the scowl of the sheriff, perhaps, meets
him at the corner. A man that has never
failed knows but little of human nature,
In prosperity he sails along gently, waited
by fayoring smiles and kind words from
everybody. lie prides himself on his name
and spotless character and makes his boast
that he has not an enemy in the world.
Alas the change. lie looks at the world in
different light when reyerses come upon
him. lie reads suspicion on every brow.
lie hardly knows how to move or to do this
thing or the other; there are spies about
him, writ is ready for his back. To know
what kind of stuff the world is made Of
person must be unfortunate, and stop paying
once in his lifetime. II he has kind friends,
they are made manifest. A failure is a
moral seive, 1t brings out the wheat and
shows the ehaif. A man thus learns tina
words and pretended good will are not an
do not constitute real friendship.

There were ninety and nine that safely lay
In the shelter Of the fold;
And one WAS out on the hills away,
Far of from the gates Of gold
Away on the mountains wild and bare
Away from the tender Shepherds care.
Lord, Thou hast here the ninety and nine
Are they not enough for Thco2
But the shepherd made answer, This OF mine
Has wandered away from me-
And although the roads be rough and steep,
go To the desert 10 hnd my sheer"
But none Of the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed
Nor how dark the night that the Lord passed
through,
Ere lie found Ills sheep that was lost
Ont in the desert lie heard IT, cry,
Sick and helpless and ready to die
lord, whence are those blood-drops all the way
That mark out tho mountains tracl?"
They were shed for one who had gone asiray
Ere The shepherd could bring him back
Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?
"Ihey were pierced tonight by many thorn"
And all through tlic mountains, thunder-riyon,
And up from the rocky steep,
There rose n cry 30 the gates Of heaven,
"ReiOice ! have found my sheepi"
And tie angels echoed around the throne,
Rejoice, for the Lord brings back Ills own!"
