ON HASD.
At tie meeting of the Water Committee,
last evening, Mr.. Farrell was disposed to
find fault with tho Chairman for not put
ting the men to work on Monday morning.
Mr.. Pyle said he was Only one Of the com.
mittee, and had no authority to do 80, un-
less instructed.
Farrell is represented TO have said he did
not care about going to the basin yesterday
morning, because he knew the newspaper
reporters would be there, to hold hin up to
ridicule, but, this morning, he went out to
the works, and he says would have put the
men to work If any had been there.

A ledge has been discovered about ~
miles northeast from Winnemucca IN the
range of mountains between Eden valley
and the Humboldt river, compared with
which tho majority Of quartz leads here
tofore discovered in this part OF the coun-
try are mere seams. 1t is at least 2oo
feet wide, and crops along the mountain
9 600 or 3, 600 feet. This immense mass
of quartz appears to be mineral bearing
through it's entire width and length. The
discoveries sent samples of the ore from
three different places on the lead to the
Humboldt Reduction Works, where they
were worked by the ordinary wet process
with the following result: No. !, con,
t,ininc 10000 pounds, yielded $3s ~
per ton; No. 2, 6.S73 pounds, 500 56 per
ton: No. 3, IL. l22 pounds, $4o II per
ton. Considering the quantity and char
acter of the ore, this il pre-emlnently the
best prospect ever found in the county.
Two claims OF l, 500 Teach have been Sc.
cured on the lead. which, unless It Is all
on the surface, will eventually rival any
thing in tho State, except perhaps the
CONS took Silver State.

The New York Herald, aites discuss
ing the memorial purporting to have
been drawn up by the six Chinese Com
panies of San Francisco. and recently
forwarded to the President, comes to the
following conclusion:
The right OF the Chinese to come mere
rests upon the treaty, and Is IS perfect
az that of persons OF European birth.
The treaty and our own laws ought 20
he modified 80 as to keep out tbs most OBJ
;,ctiouable class. Several changes are
necessary, but the most important Is
regulation forbidding Monaghan women
to be landed at any port OF this country,
without they are wives or dausnters OF
the male emigranfs. and the signing OF
bond hy the officers of the steamship
with q heavy forfeiture, If the women SO
admitted do not reside with the husband
or father in the ordinary family relation.
Another change which it might he exps-
dent to make, although there Is no
pressing need Of it as yet, in Limitation
Of the Naturalization law, excluding
persons born in China. No alteration
at the treaty would be required for this,
because the treaty expressly e1einpts
both Governments from any obliganon
to uaturalize tho citizens Of the other.
Congress can, therefore, change the
Naturalization law on this point without
infringing on the treaty. which only Sc
cures the right Of admission aud resi-
dsnce.

SELF-CONTROL IN SPEECH.

If man would get through life hon
orably and peacefully he must necessa-
rily learn to practice selfdenial in small
things as we'll as great. Men have to
bear as well as forbear The temper
has to be held in subsection to the judg-
ment, and the little demons of i'll
humor, petulance and sarcasm kept
resolutely at distance. If once they
gain an entrance into the mind, they
are apt to return and to establish for
themselves permanent occupation
there. 1t is necessary to ones personal
happiness to exercise control over our
words as we'll as acts, for there are
words that strike even harder than
blows The singing repartee that rises
to the lips, and which, if uttered, might
cover an adversary with confusion,
how difficult it is sometimes to resist
saying it!
Character exhibits itself in self-con-
troll of speech as much as in anything
else The wise and forbearant man
will restrain his desire to say smart
or severe thing at the expense of an
others feelings, while the fool blurts
out what he thinks, and will sacrifice
his friend rather than his joke. The
mouth of wise man." said Solomon,
sis in his heart; the heart of q fool is

DANGEROUS READING.

More harm has been done by sensa-
tionaI novels of all kinds than can be
calculated. Tales Of impossible love,
romantic devotion, unnatural crimes,
Law foundation in the minds OF youth
for all sorts of weakness and folly.
Would there be so many disgracetul
experiments in ' high life," think you,
if circulating libraries were cleaned OF
vellow-covered literature? Or so many
atrocious murders if shop windows
were not hung with pictorial represent
ations of the "last awful tragedy ~
If Satan can't set man to killing, he
will do the next most effective thing,
set somebody to describing or painting
a murder There are enough to take
the hint. What shall we do about the
evil? First, denouncc it unsparlngly.
Use the pen as sword. Then give
young people more healthful reading
interest them in something higher than
the woes of Alonzo and Angelina, or
the last death throes Of Pirate Jack
Take the present generation of the
young, and so educate through proper
literature that its taste shall be perma-
nently healthy. There are thousands
of standard works Of fiction which are
pure and wholesome in tendency
educators of the mind. Let the chill
dren read them and none others
They'll soon grow to like them, and
contemn the floating trash of the day
soon discriminate between wheat and
chaff. In all possible ways counteract
and prevent the evil discussed. Let
not the gallow's beam protrude its
shadow across the pages in our libra
ries, and the prints in our shops, hide
Gus as nightmare and Satanic in its
suggestiveness.
