By the fortuitous discharge of a pistol
Charley Pryor met with an accident
which will confine him to his house
for several days. He was engaged in
removing some lumber from his house,
when, stopping in his labor, he reached
to his coat-pocket to procure a
plug of tobacco. A self-cocking pistol
was also in the pocket, and in drawing
the tobacco ont the weapon was by some
means discharged, the bullet entering
the right log above the knee. and, cours.
ing downward, lodged in the feshy part
OF the calf. fortunately producing only a
flesh wound-not bone being struck by
the ball.-[ Eureka Sentinel.

An audacious robbery OF the stage from
Lone Pine took place on the 2sth nit,
at about 4 o'clock D. m, on what is
known as the yellow grade" about
three miles from Cerro Gordo. There
were ten Of the robbers, all Mexicans.
Four of them stepped out and halted the
stage, covering the driver and passengers
with guns, while the other six unlocked
the horses from the stage ana tied up the
passengers. The driver was required to
step off to one side and sit down upon a
rock, meantime being covered with a
shotgun in the hands of one of the rob.

The CHATHAM WILLIAMS PRIZE F1ogr
The fight from first TO last was well
contested, although it is thought that
Williams played considerable cunning TO
escape punishment. His face is compar.
atively uninjured, though he has re.
ceived some bruises on the body. Chat.

conclusion of the fight he was carried ON
the arms of his admiring friends to a
barouche in waiting. He was followe d
by Williams, and both were in town half
an hour after the fight. Several inn
promptu fights took place, and at one
time a man sitting under the ropes was
accused by Chatham of kicking at him
as he fell near the side of the ring. The
Cornishmen were anxious to hang the
fellow, although he protested his limo.
cence of any such intent. Considering
the circumstances attending the battle,
much better order was preserved than
was expected. The time required was
about one hour and twelve minutes, and
Chatham is the victor by foul. His
friends say that Williams knew that he
was going to lose the fight and preferred
to do so by foul. We cannot say how
true this may be- Virg. Chronicle, 4.

been characterized by moderation and
strict adherence to its first principles.
Many like organization, grown insolent

: The papers in this country have re.
peatedly warned laboring men from
distance to give the Comstock a wide
berth. Although the "bonanza" is as
rich as ever represented, and the mines
are yielding millions of dollars in silver
bullion every month, the country is over
run with laboring men. The mines are
controlled by capitalists. and it requires
good deal of money to speculate in the
stock, even with a moderate prospect of
making anything by SO doing. There is
plenty of capital in large cities, but as
we'll might man expect to accumulate
large fortune by walking up and down
the street gazing at the money displayed
in the windows OF bank as to think
that his presence at a silver mine is all
that is necessary for him to do to get
hold OF portion of the proceeds. The
country is enjoying greater degree of
prosperity than ever before, and the
stockholders in paying mines are receiv-
ing large dividends, but there are more
laboripg men here than are needed, and
immigrants had better stay away from
Virginia City now, and from the whole

THE question of the Bible in the pub.

more or less throughout the country.
Prof Swing, of Chicago, preached ON

statement of his opinions:
Prof. Swing discuursed of the relations
of 'the Bible and the humber classes"
his subject being suggested by the recent
action ofthe Beard of Education in regard
to the Bible in the schools. It need
hardly he said that he takes ground
against t.,e enforcei use of the Scriptures
in the public schools, when any consid-
cradle portion of the people are opposed
tn it. Compulsory Bibles and compulso.
~ prayers, he thinks, have never proven
a valuable element in the spread of re-
ligiOn. While the Bible held its place
in the schools by power Of public con.
science, or by cheerful public consent,
all was WE'LL Bat when the strong arm
Of the law is needed to keep it there, its
benefits are at least questionable, and
the church must take up with renewed
energy the work of disseminating its
truths.

guarantees its permanency and success

of the paper will be in the hands OF ID.

GazLdy's Pacific Monthly, and for twenty.
one years connected with the Press of
the country. OF long practical experience
as writer and publisher, he will bring
to his assistance the most able and popu-
lar theological and literary talent availa-
BILE in this country and Europe. The
original plan of monthly publication of
the paper will be maintained for the
present, but the publishers hope during
the year to make it q regular weekly
newspaper. The November number is
just out and presents a handsome typo
graphical appearance, and is brim full of
interesting matter connected with the
Roman Catholic question in all its vari-
Gus aspects, and large AMOUNT Of choice

A Real Hero.

Henry Wilson's sudden illness with
the expectation that he would die, has
awakened q feeling of sympathy and
called forth expressions Of kindness
which certainly must be soothing to the
Vice President after spending long and
useful life in the service Of his country.
To SO live that ones memory shall he
cherished by few friends, robs death of
some Of its terrors, but to have ones
good deeds SO cherished by great nation
that millions watch with anxious hearts
when the pulse beats irregularly and
mourn when death closes the book Of life
possesses charm to the living smooths
the rough pathway of life, and makes
or own exit seem easier. Such has
been the life of Henry Wilson. Ameri-
cans as people are hero worshipers, and
too often the difference between good and
bad men, good and bad deeds are undis-
tinguishable Tie hero ola banditti too
often receives the same honors as the
hero of battlefield.
But this is impulsiveness, and lasts but
day, while the memory of the real hero
sinks deep in the heart, and time fails to
Obliterate it. There are certain qualities
of mind which men love, and love to
cherish its memory. These qualities of
mind peer through the darkness of ages.
and become folded in the affections of a
people, and its very memory moulds the
minds of untold millions. Who that
reads the story of WIN. Tell can fail to
admire the man for the goodness of his
heart? Or who that reads the story of
the Scotch Highlander, Bruce, but glo-
ries in his success, grieves at his defeats
and mOurns at his death? Who that
reads the story of Gen. Lees return, at
twilight, to the home of his fathers, to
find the broad fields transformed into
the 'home of the dead" leaning against
the very tree which shaded him in his
childhood. and as he babe last adieu to
his ancestral halls, wept, but wishes in
his heart he could forget the stain npon
his life?
When will Patrick Henry's words,
"Give me liberty orgive me death" be for
gotten, or when will the man whose heart
prompted him to the Inference pass out
of Inference pass out of memory? The
greatest man is he whose life is most
tempered with goodness, not in secular
but in its broadest sense. Henry Wilson
has lived through stormy history in
our national existence; he has always
been first in the ARRAY and last to leave
the field, but his life has always been so
tempered with goodness that his enemies
admired, yes, loved the man. He is a
real hero.-Leaven,corth Commercial.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.

STATE OF KANSAS, EXECUTIVE DErsRraENT,l
TOPEKA, November LIST. 1873.
An ancient and honored custom IS well as the
Imperative obligations Of duty, demands that We
devote one day in each year exclusively to thanks
giving and prayer to Almighty God. Iiis de-
mind is addressed to the people of Kansas Thu
year with extraordinary emphasis.
BY the grace of Him ''who doeth ali thing
well, - season which opened with premonitions
of want and misery, developed into one of plenty,
and the fields over which = great pestilence
brooded have produced an abundant harvest
Bounte,us crops have everywhere rewarded the
labors of the husbandman, and grinaries are
filed to overlooking. Truly, ''the earth which
,lrinketh in the rain which cometh Oft upon It,
and bringeth forth fruits meet for them by whom
it is DIRE ssei, receve:h sings from God.'
Therefore, in harmony with the custom above
mentioned, and with the proclamation ofthe Pres
ldent of the United States, do hereby designate
THURSDAY, THE 25rH DAY OF NOVEMBER,
inst, as day of thanksgiving and prayer, and
urge upon all the people Of the State that, laying
aside their ordinary pursuits, they assemble up
there to give thanks to the Supreme Raler Of the
Universe for His manifold blessings and to i'm
piore the continuance Of His abundant mercy.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto set my
hand and caused the great seal of the
[sEAL.l State to be affixed, at Topeka, this lst
day of November, A. d. ISIS.

On THE first page of to-day's paper We
publish in full the opinion of the Attor.
ney-General, given in response to a let
ter from Gov. Osborn inquiring if the
amendments to the State constitution
adopted at the late election prevented
the meeting las claimed by some persons)
of the Legislature in regular session next
January. The Attorney General says
the Legislature can meet and perform
its duty the same as if the amendments
had not beed adopted, and that they will
take effect and be in force at the time
mentioned therein and as intended by
the people when they adopted them.
This opinion will be satisfactory to every
body excepting few who have made up
their minds that the wording of the
amendments was such that they failed in
the accomplishment of the object sought.

IL Spain the opinion seems to be en-
tertained that there will be a war be-
tween that government and the United
States on account of the proposed inter
ference Of the latter in behalf of Cuba.
Don Carlos the head of the insurrection
and the leader of the Communists, has
written letter to King Alfonso propos-
ing, TN case the Cuban difficulties cause a
war between Spain and the United States
to agree to a truce and unite his forces
with those of the King for the purpose
of defending the Spanish territory. If
the prospect of war between Spain and
the United States should be the means
of uniting the Spanish people and stop,
ping the unholy war they have carried
on among themselves for years, it would
be matter of rejoicing. Spain could
afford to lose Cuba, if thereby she could
stop the fighting among her own people.

The Topeka Commonwealth recently

The Topeka Commonwealth rccently
published good article in opposition to
granting government subsidies to the
Texas Pacific Railroad, which has been
endorsed by number of other journals.
We believe the people of the country, or
at least the great majority of them, are
opposed to giving any more government
land to railroads anywhere. Railroads
are a great convenience and are Looked
upon as almost essential to q civilized
community, but where they get large
tracts of land and bold it for speculation
they are more Of curse than blessing.
We believe our county to-day would
have had double its present wealth and
population if none of our laal hal been
given to the railroads
