Large and small Ear-.

Large ears, as have been observed
hear things in general, and denote
broad comprehensive views and modes
of thought; while small ears hear things
in particular; showing a disposition to
individualiZe, often accompanied by
the love of the ,linute. Large ears are
usually satisfied with learning the
leading facts of case, with the gener-
al principles involved-toO strict an
attention to the enumeration of de
tails, especially all repetition of the
more unimportant, is wearsome TO
them. People with such ears like gen.
orally, and are usually well fitted to
conduct large enterprises; to receive
and pay out money in large sums; in
buying or selling would prefer to leave
a margin rather than reduce the quanti
ty of good of any sort to the exact
dimensions of the measure specified
and in giving would prefer to give
with free hand and without too strict
calculation as to the exact amount
Small ears, on the contrary, desire to
know the particulars of a story as we'll
as the main facts, take delight in ex
amining, handling or constructing TINY
specimens of workmanship; are dispos
ed to be exact with respect to inches
and ounces in buying or selling, to tn,
extent at least of knowing the-exac
number over or under the stated mea
sure given or received People will
such ears would, in most cases, prefe
a retail to a wholesale business. From

Printers Mistakes.

1t is only wonderful that printers do
not make more blunders than they do;
and few persons are aware of the NIL
mute care necessary TO avoid them.
The New York Sunday Times gives
some amusing specimens Of typo
graphical errors. The misplacement
Of space" made Adirondack Murray
refer recently to them asses Of the
people, !" when he meant the masses,
Whittier's Brewing of soma was
printed "Burnisg OF Laura" A dra-
matte critic closed his notice Just In
time for the makeup with "a word Of
compliment" to the music director,
and found 1t printed word OF com
plant" The Dunkards, tho most
temperae of people, generally appear
In print as Drunkards. General But
ler begged the voters in 1867 to give o
good account of themselves for the
Old Bay State, and an enthusiastic
compositor produced 1t as for the
honor of the old Boys Tail A prin-
ter who asserted that Mr.. Thurlow
Weed had once gone out of his way
TO compliment him on close punctua-
tion and clean setting, made In sin
gle take" of copy" one Of the most
ridiculous blundcrs on record. 1t was
O portion Of sermon Of prominent
divine of Chicago, that had been
written; And he saw Abraham sfar
off, and Lazarus in his bosom" The
''clean setter" read it: And he saw
Abraham afar of, and horses cars In
Boston" A compositor on ST. Louis
paper, the otherday, made an editor
say that "this war-cry is the key
hole of victory. Baltimore Gdsette.

Ship Canals.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Six Ship
Canals are before the public. These
are % the Maryland and Delaware
Ship, Canal to connect the waters of
the Chesapeake and Delaware bays by
way of the Sassafras river. This cut
will be about seventeen miles long and
the distance to be saved by navigation
from Baltimore to New York, the
Eastern ports, and Europe, will be
about 225 miles. (2) The Cape Cod
Ship Canal, which is to cut off the
peninsula of Barnstable from the main
land of Massachusetts,. (3) The Canal
across the Florida peninsula, to shorten
the distance between the gulf ports and
those of the North Atlantic and Eu-
rope, and to enable shipping to avoid
the Florida reefs. (4) Tho Fort St.
Philip canal to improve the navigation
OF the Mississippi delta. (5)The Hen
nepin and Rock River canal, which is
La continuation of the Illinois and
Michigan canal, to the Mississippi
river. (6) The Caughnawago canal to
connect Lake Champlain with the St.
Lawrence. ~ The Tehuantepec
MexicoAship canal. (OThe straits (isth-
mus) ship canal.
The latter two are in foreign territory
but American capital is expected to be
, largely contributed for their construc
ton, if they are ever to be constructed
There can be no question but that each
and all of these works will be under
taken at some time, and we suppose
there Is as little question that they will
fulfil ultimately all anticipations o.
their projectors ae regards the vast ad
!, vantages to accrue to navigation ant
commerce and cheap transportation
AS against these anticipations, We hav,
nothing to say that would discourag
= them.

Thos. Sullivan was killed in the
the shaft Of the Savage mine on
Thursday. The evidence before the
Coroner's Jury Is Of most conclu-
sive character, and resulted in the
following verdict: "Thomas Sulli-
van came to his d ,ath on the 10th Of
September, 1875, in this county, AT
the Savage mine, by being drawn up
into the sheaves over the winze At
the 200 foot level, through the care.
lessness and incompetency of the en-
gineer on duty at the time. The
company employing man so wholly
incompetent and inexperienced in
engineering is deserving Of the Sc
verest censure; as the testimony be-
fore the jury shows that the engineer
so employed never before ran an en-
CINE, until lately employed by the
Savage Mining Company, about two
months ago." The verdict is signed
by l.. d. Baker, foreman; A. Macs
tretti, James A. Allen. Cain MahO-
ney, Charles Sommers, N. M. San.

FIRST NEVADA ARTILLERY.-This
lately organized branch of the State
militia are just receiving their uni
forms, and will soon be able to APP
pear on parade. We have seen the
caps which are to be worn, and think
them the most becoming and tasty "
in the service. They are of navy
blue, with crossed cannons in front,
embroidered vine on the top, and in
size and shape unlike the ordinary
too close fitting military cap. The
company, since the disastrous fire
which destroyed their armory and
drill room, have temporary location
on d street. The battery is being
again finely mounted, and will soon
be ready for service. Captain Lord
and his efficient Lieutenants are we'll
chosen as officers, have seen much
active service in the fed, and will
soon place the company in excellent
drill. With such a formidable force
at hand the State peace is more than
fully assured.

A WONDERFUL APPLE TREE.-One

A WONDERFUL APPLE TREE.-One
of the brave Superintendent on this
end of the Comstock, who has been
on the Grand Jury at Virginia the
past week, astonished Colonel Woods,
our Washington visitor, with an ac-
count of a wonderful apple tree seen
by him In front yard of Virginia
City the other day. According to
his account, q" the tree was 80 liter
ally loaded down with fruit that
boards had to be placed under the
limbs to keep them from breaking
down to the ground; and, what was
still more wonderful, peaches and
plums had been grated into the tree
and were hanging in profusion from
its branches"
Wonderful | wonderful - cx-
claimed the thoroughly delighted
Washingtonian, as he drew out his
note book and jotted down the item,
never once dreaming that our brave
Superintendent had got "a little off"
with Cub. Hall and his friends at
Virginia and fell asleep under an
apple stand on G street. But it's
good one on the "resourccs of Ne
yada."

COUNTERFEIT Com. The Gold
Hill News" of Thursday evening
says: "We have in our possession a
counterfeit American trade dollar,
dated 1874, the first VIC have yet seen
or heard of; but this having been in
circulation is pretty good evidence
that others also are in circulation,
therefore it is best for everybody to
be on their guard, and closely inspect
the silver coins they may receive.
This counterfeit is very well exc
cuted, but the metal is darker and
whites easier than silver, evidently
being composed largely of lead. 1t
has some little ring to it, but is east
est detected by its lack of weight,
dark color, and peculiar smoothness
when rubbed between the thumb and
finger. This bogus coin is all the
more dangerous here, where nobody
is on the lookout for such things.

TO ADA.

please write me letter, uncle dear,
On this my birthday-twenty- first year
OF life TO me, 20 bright and 20 dear,
From all the trouble, the cares and strife,
Alas, too often 70 very rife
In all the paths Of this worldly life."
Surely, Ada, letter I'll write,
And wish that all thy days may be bright,
And never Q cloud 10 dim their light.
That, % now. thy life may ever be
From care and sorrow forever free,
And joys alone ever come to thee.
Forget not that the power will rest
With thee to choose what Is right and best
Though Off Ills hard must be confessed,
But easier II becomes each day,
As idle fancies are thrown away,
Knowing they're only idols of clay.
Ada, this life Is not all dream,
Nor yet are our lives all that they seem,
But faithful life will serve TO redeem
Many fault that seems grave to-day
Beneath the warmth of the brighter ray
The clouds will vanish and pass away.
May thy birthdays always, Ada dear,
Be bright and happy without . tear,
Is my prayer for thee each coming year

c. F. ADAMs.-It is gratifying to
know that there is one prominent
man in the United States who Is not
afflicted with a Presidential magnet
in his brain. It's Charles Francis
Adams. But, come to think Of it,
what great political or civil history
has Charles Francis excepting that
of writing up his fathers biography?
To be sure he did some good talking
in England, but then, upon the
whole, isn't Mr.. Adams just little
oyer-rated as a statesman?

bucket or two Of watsr BY . passsr

fire originated from . lamp in the

extent of the damage Is the loss of .

CAMPING OUT.-Oliver Seers, Jo-
seph Sears and w. T. Watson have
just returned from hunting excur-
sion through and about the noun
tains Of Como, having been absent
ten or twelve days. They found
small game in abundance, killed
lots of it, but of course didn't bring
any home, and had fine time.
This style of camping out IN the
open air at this time of the year is
very beneficial TO health and puts
the very poetry of nature into the
hitherto apathetic. The old town of
Como Is in ruins-brewery, saloon
and mill, but though the mill wheel
is busted aud gone to decay, the
scent Of the brewery hangs round
there to-day. So they say.
