Nichols concentrates all the floating

It is reported that John Kelly, having
called on Grant with Mr.. Smith Ely,
said after the interview that Grant is
not such dull fellow after all" II Mr..
Kelly-went to see Grant with the idea
that he was going to meet dull fellow,
he carried with him wrong idea OF the

stupidity. He is long headed man, a

Misty Hayes.

It 10 believed, on good authory, that
Hayes instructed Republicans who are
In favor Of repeating the resumption act
to press repeal, and has directed those
who are opposed to such repeal to stand
firm.
II Is further believed on the highest
authority, that Hayes has issued orders
that the promise to resume specie pay
ments on the lst Of January, 1879, shall
be reiterated, and that such promise
shall be faithfully repudiated.
BY making the promise, Haves expects
to please the simple minded dolts who
do not know the difference between

RICHARD III. DANA, JR.

The Senate has failed to confirm the
appointment of Mr.. Dana as Minister
to England, vice Schenck resigned.
He is charged with being literary
thief. Now this kind of stealing is
more contemplate than that charged
upon his predecessor. Schenck has
been caught frequently stealing an ace
or two to make ont full hand at poker,
but he would disdain the stealing of lit
erary gems = the production of other
mems brains. 1t is disgraceful for one
of the literdti to be guilty of plagiarism
as has been shown in Dana's case, and
he would be the laughing stock of the
diplomatists of Europe and the civilized
world. What makes it worse, Dana
is one of the blue. bloods of Massa-
chusetts, and came from one of those
heightened, blue-bellied Yankee fami-
lies. who pride themselves on their
strict morality and perfection in all
the amenities of life, and who are SO
precise in displaying their literary at
tainments( p, and have such horror
for the vernacular of the common
people, that they give a peculiar
twang to the pronunciation of words,
such as "keow and " Bosting," least
they might be considered among the
common rabble, who say "cow and
"Boston for short. Grant is a most
remarkable man. 1t was said of
Greeley by the Republicans, He is
honest, but he is no judge of men; bad
men will impose upon him if elected
President. but Grant is a great judge
of men and mems characters. This
is undoubtedly true of Grant, for he
scarcely ever fails in his appointments
to hit upon thief of some kind
Since there is no more money in the
Treasury to steal, he has commenced
appointing literary thieves. 1t would
have been more creditable to the
country, if he had appointed Ben But
Ter instead of Dana to the Court of ST.
James. Ben. would not steal another
mans composition unless it was com
position of silver and brittanni, and he
would not hesitate in calling it
"spoon." instead of "spewn."

THE HAPPY FAMILY.

There seems to be a little breeze
stirred up in the happy family. DR..
Zabriskie, Chairman of the Republican
State Central Committee. in his re-
marks against calling convention to
select delegates to the Cincinnati Con-
vention, in substance, says, that the
Republican press of Nevada is a venal
and corrupt pack of hounds, and advo-
Gated the holding of a convention SIM
ply that they might get the advertising
of the call. The committee appointed
the delegates against the protest of all
the leading Republican journals. The
committee favor Grants denomination,
and elected delegates who will cast a
solid vote for him. The Republican
editors of the State know that his NOM
ination will be an utter and sweeping
defeat of the party; hence, they desire
a convention to get an expression of the
sentiments of the party as to its choice
for Presidential nominees; bat the
friends of Grant in the committee out
generated them, and cooked up dish
for the rank and file which they must
swallow or 60 hungry. De Long was
appointed an alternate as bit Of bait
to catch the gulls, but he Indignantly
refused to be a party to the pro-

guage: "For one, do not wish to be

illustrated by the present incumbent Of
the Presidential chair, in which per.

the cabinet in the light of personal

realized, for moment, that the great

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.

There should be no reason why our
public school is not a model of excel
lence. The taxpayers of this district
have contributed most literally to its
support by voluntary self-imposed
taxation. and are willing to continue
their liberality, but there seems to be a
hitch in the machinery somewhere, and
the clashing is anything but pleasant
or profitable to the public. There is a
combination of causes which has
brought this state of affairs about and
for which no particular person is alone
responsible or to blame. We learn that
the trustees have, or soon will engage
Miss White to take charge of the
school. She is most estimable lady
and an excellent teacher, and it is to be
hoped that under her administration
the school will soon become one of the
most excellent public schools in the
State. To accomplish any particular
praisworthy result the parents one and
all must second the efforts of the
teacher and Trustees. No teacher or
board of trustees can succeed In build
ing up first class school where the
parents pull back like mulish OK i'll q
team. Their efforts should be heartily
seconded not only in public, but at the
family fireside; there a spirit of ODE
dience, and emulation in deport-
ment and proficiency should be siren
ously inculcated. While we are on
this snbject we will call attention to
the question of teachers wages. We
are, but we hope that whatever they
may be they will not be reduced be-
cause a lady is to take charge of the
school, We could never see the pro-
priety or justice of making distinc-
ton in the wages of school teachers on
account of sex. If Miss White is COM
petent forthe position, Of which we have
not tho slightest doubt, her services
will be worth the highest rates. The
position of school teacher when wor-
thily filed is the most arduous and
important The teacher is the
tiler of the soil of the great domain of
public thought, and but few persons
are adapted to the business. 1t is not
that a teacher must be a storehouse of
knowledge and be correct in the the
DRY Of teaching, 10 be successful, but
he or she must have the peculiar quail
ifcation of imparting knowledge to
others. Greeley was the greatest theo-
retical farmer the world ever produced,
but when he grated moss rose binds in
a cabbage head he signally failed in
producing crop Of improved roses,
nor was there any material improve
ment in the quality of the cabbage.
We think the experience of the whole
country shows that women are better
qualified than men, to properly train
and impart knowledge to the youthful
mind as general rule. Then Why not
renumerate them accordingly.

Deputy Sheriff Ed. Seitz, says Fri
days Elko Independent, brought down
from Deeth yesterday and lodged in
Jail a couple OF boys, about sixteen
years of aye, who are charged with
burglarizing the section-house at that
place and extracting therefrom one
hundred dollars in coin and u lot of
clothing. They are supposed to have
got as far as Deeth by "sparring"
their way on the train, and running
short OF provisions and funds, made a
raid on the section house for supplies.
The evidence tending to prove them
the culprits Is said to be very convinc-
ing.
On Tuesday evening a queer process
sion entered Dayton. Five Cinnamon,
each carrying a big stick of cord-wood
on his shoulder, marched up the street.
and a white man, shotgun in hand,
brought up the rear. The line of
march ended at the calabOose. The
white man was the Waterman of the
Dayton wood piles, and he had caught
the five heathens in the act OF stealing
wood and made them carry the evil
dence Of their guilt with them to Jail.
Charges of petty larceny were entered
against them.
The Silver City Reporter says that
one Mr.. Jones, now working in the
South End mine, near that place, las
whiskers forty-two inches in length.
They are rcd, and took twenty.four
years to grow. When at work he
keeps them confined in a sort of pull.
back under his chin by q crupper
from the back Of his neck.
Burglars infest Virginia City and
Gold Hill. Hardly a night passes
without some building being burglar
lied. The last burglary is that of NJ
Hurley, of Gold Hill, whose store was
broken open ON Tuesday night and $40
in money and about $50 worth Of
goods stolen.
The Silver City Times recommends
that the working women Of that sec
ton club together and establish a CO.
operative laundry, in order to success
fully compete with the Chinese wash
houses.
