An INTERESTING Event.
Nevada News.

A notable event in the Masonic history
Of Neyada-we may say in the United
States-occurred near this city yesterday.
After the destruction of the hall by fire.
the Masons met for some time in the
Lodgeroom of the Odd Fellows building.
This was likewise destroyed by fire few
days ago, leaving the Order without an
appropriate place Of meeting. In emer.
gency the Master of Virginia Lodge, No.
3, in imitation of a custom of the Craft on
the summit Of Mount Davidson yesterday
afternoon. Over three hundred members
Of the Order were in attendance. When
it is considered that the top of Mount
Davidson is seven thousand eight hundred
and twenty. feet above the leve! of
the sea, and nearly seventeen hundred
feet above Virginia City, the significance
of this large convocation will be apprecia-
ted. The summit of this mountain is a
pointed mass of broken granite, yet upon
the very apex rude altar Of stone was
erected, and who, in the heat of midday
sun, had toilcd up the rugged mountain
side to witness the opening Of Masonic
Lodge at place SO unusual; and there,
overlooking city Of twenty Thousand
people, the Lodge was opened partially
in form and it's regular business tran
sacted. From the summit Of the noun
tain the country for radius of perhaps
hundred miles on every side is visible,
with dts towns, lakes, mountains. val.
legs, hosting works, quartz mills and
railroads. The view is one of the
grandest in the State, and the gathering
yesterday was in the eye of every Mason
present scarcely less grand than the sur
roundings. As the Lodge was opened,
the white emblem of the Order was
thrown from the flagstaff on the summit,
and cheers that greeted it must have been
heard in the valleys below. Music,
speeches, and bountiful repast for all,
enlivened the proceedings, and at
o'clock, or q few minutes earlier, the
concourse wendell their way down the
mountain side. Members Of the Order
were in attendance from Gold Hill, Sill.
yer City, Dayton and Carson, and so i'm
pressed were all present with the gran.
deur and solemnity Of the occasion, that
the rude altar was almost Clipped in
pieces, to be preserved as mementos of
an event so unusual in the annals Of the
Order. 1t is probable that Masonic
Lodge was never before opened in the
United States at so great an elevation
certainly never upon so prominent point
in the light Of day. The occasion vii!
long be remembered, not only by those
present but by the people Of Storey
County.

An Arkansas Murder Followed by
LynChinE.

About year ago a man named Dugan,
of De Witt county. Ark, killed his SON.
n-law named 1nman. The circumstan-
ces Of the murder were Of a particularly
revolving character. The two, while in
town, had some words, but came to an
amicable understanding before they start
ed for home. While on the road Dugan
dropped back to the rear and fired on In
man. putting load Of buck-shot in his
side and one in his back, and then snatch
ing rife out Of the hands of a gentle
man accompanying. put bullet in the
back of his head. He then took the body
and threw it into White river, and in
few days after 1t rose and lodged against
snag. lie came along in a skiff, took
the body and cut it in two, tied cast
iron pillow share to half, and filled the
dead man S drawers with sand, tied them
and sunk the severed body in the river.
For the crime Dugan was tried and SEN
fenced to BE- hanged, but subsequently
new trial was ordered and change of
venue taken to Little Rock. Sunday the
sheriff Of De Witt left with Dugan and
another prisoner, the two chained to-
gether. for Little Rock. They reached
St. Charles, on the White River, about 4
P. NJ, and while waiting for boat a band
of masked men, numbering twenty-five,
we'll armed, made their appearance and
took charge Of the sheriff and posse and
prisoners. The prisoners were bound to-
gether and sitting in chairs before the
fire. The mob fired into Dugan. killing
him instantly, and then departed. They
are supposed to be: leading citizens Of
Arkansas county.

This Lie is Located in Olns ha.

He is a shoemaker of Omaha, Neb.,
who pretends to be medium, or clairvoy
ant, OF whatever the proper name is, of
the most wonderful sort. Recently,
while engaged in the convivialities of
lager-beer srloon, he went into a trance
and observed that 'ssome one was stealing
q pair Of boots out Of his shop" Just
at this moment messenger came and
told him a man had gone into his place
stolen boots, and fallen down in fit on
the sidewalk. 'All right" said the ne
cromancer; che can't come out Of that fit
till get there So the spritualistic
shoemaker calmly played out his hand
and then went over to see about matters.
Over the PROSTATE and convalsed petty
larcenist he made certain. passes and
uttered sundry mystical formulas when
the thief stood erect, gave up the boots,
received kick, and departed.

This Lie Comes from France.

This Lie comes from Erhnce.
There is (says Paris correspondent
ghost in Calais, or rank sorcery, or
wicked powers Of some sort working.
In that town dwells certain Topham,
who keeps factory. In front of the
factory is wall Of considerable hight,
which protects it's ground floor from
passers. by. A house overlooks It, how
ever. On a recent Wednesday the row
began. volley of stones, descending
from unknown regions and thrown by
unseen hands, suddenly. smashed all the
windows, and hurt two girls at work.
All day the bombardment lasted, in spite
of police. Thursday the gendarmes &C.
cupied the factory, not doubling that all
evil powers would be stilled before the
magisterial presence of the law. But
stones fell in shower beneath their very
noses, and the utmost activity of the po'
lice could not discover whence they came.
Friday the commissary and halfdozen
of his trusted minions betook themselvs
to the spot and searched and watched and
watched to no better purpose. They
went across and occupied the house op:
posite, holding its strategic points and
setting up an observatory on the roof.
Quite fruitlessly as yet. The bombar-
ment recommences from time to time
with vigor that recalls the great sieges
of history. So the affair stands as yet,
and people say it's spirits.

Mushroom Cares.

The famous mushroom caves of Paris
are, in reality, deserted stone quarries
liz the suburbs of the city. They are
entered by shafts, and consist of series
of dark, low, long corridors. Their floors
are covered with long lines of narrow
beds, made of rich compost of earth
and horse manure. The paths between
the beds are kept scrupulously clean,
and the mushroom are carefully Gull
tured One of these caves at Mon
trouge, just outside the Notifications of
Paris, contains miles of beds and yields
an average of 800 pounds of mushrooms
daily.
Near Frepillon, an hours ride from
Paris, there is another class of caves OF
old quarries, that have lofty interior,
with something of the aspect of vast ca
thedral. In 1867 one of these caves had a
un of 81 miles of mushroom beds. Dur
ng that same year over 5000 pounds of
mushrooms were daily sent to Paris from
Frepillon. The crops vary according to
certain atmospheric and other conditions,
and at intervals the great quarries refuse
to yield profitable crop. They are then
thoroughly cleansed, the very soil being
scraped out, and are left to lie fallow fo1
year or two.

Losses by Fire.

The reported losses by fire during the
month of May were: In New York and
Brooklyn, $618,600; in the United
States, exclusive of these cities, $8, 49,
200; aggregate, $8,745, 800. Losses in
United States during first five months of
this year reported, $4,000, 500. These
facts, in connection with the fact that
the gross earnings of the nation are
800, 900, 100000, nine-tenths of which
are consumed for current living, leaving
only $700,000,000 net accumulation, and
some statisticians place the consumption
at higher figure, leaving only per
cent, or $3.50, 1000, 900 net earnings, fur
nish food for serious reflection. That
nearly 80 per cent. of the net earnings
of a people should be annihilated by fire
is by no means an evidence of prudence.
And large portion of this destruction
is preventible by proper caution.-Nea0

Sherman and Stanton.

A recent article in the New York San
which bears evidence of having been
written by Mr.. Dana himself flakes issue
with General Sherman In regard to one
of the most striking incidents related in
the ''Memoirs. Speaking of the grand
review of his army in Washington at the
close of the war, the General says:
CT shook hands with the President,
Gen. Grant, and each member of the
cabinet. AS approached Mr.. Stanton
he offered me his hand, but declined it
publicly, and the fact was universally
noticed"
The Sun article says that Sherman GO is
entirely Mistaken and then gives the
following statement:
cat any rate, we can speak for one
who stood very near to the President at
that time and saw the scene which Gen.
Sherman describes. Knowing what had
passed between Sherman and Stanton,
this. gentleman watched them very close
~. There was no offer on the part of
Mr.. Stanton to shake hands with Gen.
Sherman, nor any approach to a friendly
salutation. Looking sternly but quietly
at the General, the Secretary of War
barely inclined his head without any
mark of personal recognition, as if a
mere stranger had come upon the stand.
His hand was not extended toward Gen.
Sherman, nor even raised. He had no
wish to shake hands with Sherman, and
no thought respecting him, except that
he was man dangerous to his country,
whose presumptuous ambition he had
just been able to put down, and he
treated him ACCORDINGLY"

Two Centenarians 60 Together.

There are not many centenarla1ls IN the
world, all told. They are exceedingly
scarce and highly priced in the commu-
mites of which they form part. BY
examining the death notices In the news
papers for any considerable length OF
time, it will be found that very few PEG
pie indeed die. after they get to be
hundred years old. When one does
happen to die, there is a note made OF 1t,
and when two die about the same time,
| the coincidental occurrence Is worth
more than mere 'tbrevity."
The other day Mrs. Strassburge1
died on a New York fourth floor, aged
103 years, and was buried in the Jewish
cemetery on Long Island. She was born
in Baden-Baden, and came to this coun-
try twenty-four years ago. When she
had attained the over-full age of eighty
one she thought it quite worth while to
come over here and enjoy life, and she
was right. Her husband, who was a
rabbi, died in 1849, at the age of r..
Mrs. Strassburger lived comfortably
with her youngest son, Henry Strass-
burger, who, it is stated, is only 4O
years old. His mother was, therefore,
SO years old when he was born. That
was as remarkable an event in her life as
her death at so exceptional an age.
She had ten children in all, and the eld-
est of these living is so. Her grand
children and great grandchildren form a
little army. She walked until she sank
down last Friday and fell asleep.
Now, Philadelphia, the Centennial
city, is famous for it's specimen centena-
rians, duly celebrated In newspaper
obituary columns, and in this emergency
it was not to be outdone by New York.
It's centenarian died on that same Friday.
His name was Thomas Taylor. He was
born in 1772 in ST. Giles, London, and,
therefore, was 103 years of age. He was
British soldier in early life, as his faith
er was before him. After. serving in In
Ola, and participating in many of the
bloody scenes of Europe about the be-
ginning of this country, including
Waterloo-aIl old British soldiers saw
Waterloo-he finally came to this coun-
try in 1852 to tell the stories of his bat
ties and end his days in peace. He
drifted into most calm corner of life,
and was made sexton of church by a
bishops appointment. Here he shaded
himself during the hot days of the Mex
lean war aud talked of how differently
they did these things when he was
young. He did not live to see the Cen
tennial celebration of British defeat

and was probably satisfied to step out
amid the dreadful notes of preparation
sounding round him. So those two cen

swimming match from Chester 10 Phlla-

miles, for stake of 81 900 per side, be-
tween J. B. johnson, champion of the
world, and Thomas Coyle, was placed ID
the hands of William McGonegal, last
night. Every stipulation in the articles
drawn up between the contendlng par
ties has, up to this point, been complied
with, and there seems to be no doubt
that this match between speed and en-
drrance in the art of natation will take
place at the specified time.
At the meeting in regard to the CON
test last night both the competitors,
their hackers and friends, seemed to be
thoroughly In earnest, and each side
certain of the success of their favOrlte.
johnson was born at Manchester, Eng
land, in 1049, weighs 165 pounds, stands
five feet nine and half inches, and
when stripped, presents the appearance
of most remarkable man in regard to
muscular development. His thews and
sinews, his broad chest and beautiful
symmetry of form, indicate the ath-
lete, and his performances hitherto de-
note him sort of terrestrial norman.
He won, and now holds, by reason of re-
tention for three years, the champion
cup of England handsome cup award
ed to him at g swimming tournament at
the Sydenham Crystal Palace; constel-
lation of medals decorates his coat, and
he has defeated Beckwith and all the
best transatlantic swimmers. Dressed
in his usual neat attire, Johnson would
not be deemed powerful or muscular
man, but, in 212t7'is 7lUtaNrGI5bats, he stands
wonder revealed.
His opponent in this contest of endur-
ance, which is exciting the attention OF
the medical faculty and amateur gladia-
tors, is a native of Donegal, Ireland,
having been born there in 1841. He
came to this country when nine years OF
age, now weighs 155 pounds, stands five
feet eight inches in his stocking feet,
and seems a quiet, unassuming man.
He served in the United States Navy, as
a marine, for four years during "our
late unpleasantness, never swan a match
race in his life, but last summer excited
the attention of medical experts in the
vicinity of Chester by swimming from
Marcus Hook to Chester, a distance Of
four miles, in fifty-fve minutes.

consequently can be regarded from a
scientific rather than a mere sporting
point of view.-Philadelphio Times.
