WANTED-A NEW BONANZA.

WANTED-A NEW BONANZA
The possession of vast wealth is not
apt to hring any great degree Of popu-
laritv to its owner. The miner who
after wears of toll and patience sue
ceeds in making a strike, must either
leave the country, give up the money,
or change his circle of acquaintance.
He canno. hope to retain his old friends
and associates without dividing with
them. and so as he gradually drops
them and drifts into non-borrowing
and non-lendinS grooves OF life, he is
accused by the old crowd OF quitting
on airs" Perhaps no men ever
ACHE we'd great fortune without losing
some popularity with the people, but
we venture the assertion that the 81 o-
mama firm of Mackey, Fair, Flood
and O'Rrien. have suffered less in gem
eral estimation than any other equal
number Of "Sudden milliOnares.'
This is partly due to their personal
manners, and partly to the principles
which have governed the conduct OF
their business. 1t is generally under
stood that they have contented them
selves with the profits derived from
working their mines, and have not at
tempted to manipulate the stock board,
except so far as might be necessary to
preserve tEeir properties from the
periodical onslaughts Of the bears.
The Bank Of Nevada-owned by them
has not pursued the practice of sud-
denly calling in its loans, and breaking
the market, so that its directors might
first squeeze the public and then grad
uaIly initiate for another break and
another milking" Again the peo-
pie know that it was due to tho nerve,
energy and patience of these men that
the "Great Bonanza was uncovered,
and they feel kindly toward those who
were the means Of advancing values
and making fortunes all along the line
of the Comstock, Nevertheless all this
is in the past, and there exists to-day
q general and growing impression that
the Bonanza Kings know where there
is another ore deposit, which they de-
lay to uncover, because California and
Con. Virginia require all their time and
effort and capital. Some think the new
bononza is in Best& Be!cher, some be-
lieve it to be submerged in Savage or
Norcross, while others look to Jacket
for their coming fortunes. Nobody
knows but everybody suspects, and if
the members OF the great mining firm
care to keep their present popularity
they will please uncover the new bo-
nanza. We are grateful for what they
have done, but
"FavCurs past do gorge

peeped out through window pane, and
there, sure enough. he discovered the

out at the back door aud around the
corner, opened the attack from an une1-

enemy came down while Just in the act

as responding to the first tire, The

Mr.. Storey and Miss Choate We're
married at Camp Grant by telegraph,
the officiating clergyman being in San
Diego. We suppose that is all right,
AZ any rate it is much better for Storey
than if he had been at Camp Grant
and Miss Choate and the minister At
San Diego. In that event the tale Of
-storey's marriage might have been
less graphic, if not less Geographic.

A WONDER IN GLAss-MAKING.-A
enormous glass cylindrical shade or
cover for statue, which il to be ex-
hibited at the Centennial, was recently
made in Somerville, Mass. 1t was
made by the following process A long,
hollow iron tube was inserted into the
pot of molten glass, and by careful
manipulation, about seventy five pounds
Of the latter was caused to adhere to the
tube. This was then taken to wooden
mould of semicircular form, in which
it was rolled few times by three men,
and thus brought to u white heat. 1t
was then taken to wooden cylinder,
placed beneath the floor of the factory ;
and after it was placed therein, the work
Of fashioning the cylinder to its proper
proportion, was begun, which was done
by blowing through the iron tube and
into the body of the glass while ut the
same time two men raised and lowered
tie glowing cylinder gently. but quick

Marryat md Lever.

Close upon quarter Of century has
passed since Marryat died more than u
quarter of a century passed since the
first of Levers novels appeared, and the
books Of each writer continue to hold
their own. More than this. those who
read those books first ms boys, can turn
to them again, now that they are mon of
middle age, with all the zest and pleas
nre that attended their first perusal.
This one simple fact is the highest test
of truth TO nature and fidelity to life to
which writer of fiction can be submit
ted. In his diary in America" Mar
ryat tells the following charming story ::
" made this morning Il purchase at IA
store. which on intelligent little boy
brought home for me. As he walked by
my side, he amused me very much by
putting the following questions: Pray,
captain, has Mr. Easy left the King of
England's service?' ! think he has
replied I 4; if you recollect. he married
and went on shore Have you seen
Mr.. Japhet lately? was the next query,
Not very lately replied /; the last
time saw him was at the publishers. ;
The little fellow went away perfectly
H'ttoii'u tititt tlty "cIc DOiH alive uili
we'll"
Such a power as these questions of
She small American implies, is q heavy
responsibility for the author who pos
sesscs it; and no author could have ex-
ercised it with an effect more uniformly
beneiicent than Marryat, and, it may be
added, Lever. The tone and temper of
Marryat's novels are those with which
English parents would like to see their
sons imbued tho lessons embedded in
the midst of all their pleasantly are
those which every lad must learn by
heart, who would steer straight course
through life-lcssons of consistency to
purpose, loyalty to duty, loyalty to
friends. And the same thing Is true of
Lever. Is tho devil to have all the
good tunes to himself? is virtue to be
perpetually condemned to wear the mien
of dizziness? Marryat and Lever are,
above all things, national writer's, and of
two national writers such boast Us this
is mighty one to be able to make
london Society.

habit of starting off ald backing up

The Democracy Of this District
have nominated Colonel j. L. Vance
for reelection to Congress. Under
the circumstances they could do no.
thing else. Congressman Vance is
what might be termed political ac-
cident. He was given the nomina-
ton two years ago because the
chances of an election were consider
ed hopeless, and because he had
money and would spend it in the
canvass. Having made the race and
won then-as is understood much to
the dissatisfaction Of certain Demo
cratic leaders-of course they must
give him another chance. His elec-
ton was decided surprise, both to
Mr.. Vance and his party. They are
not likely to be again surprised in 8
similar manner.-Portsmouth Tri

The Judicial Convention is in ses

THE Judicial Convention is in ses-
sion to-day, "wednesday, J in Pome-
roy. 1t will be only the formality in
nominating Judge j. Z. Bradbury
by acclammation. We think Mr..
Bradbury has made good reputa-
tion as Judge in all the counties.
Certainly he has in Washington
Marietta Register.
BY the proceedings published on
the first page, it will be seen that the
Register hit the nail on the head ex-
actiy. Judge Bradbury was nomi-
mated by acclammation-not q dis
senting delegate-and it is doubtful
whether there will be any opposing
candidate. No young man has risen
in the popular esteem more rapidly,
and we may say more worrhily, than
Judge Bradbury. Last Fall, when a
candidate, many in Washington
county voted for him very reluet-
antly, owing to his inexperience and
scandalous stories circulated by his
enemies regarding his integrity.
But all this has been lived down, and
no man is more popular in Washing
ton county to-day, and indeed in the
whole district, that Judge j. T.
Bradbury. This feeling of kindness
towards Judge Bradbury is held by
the voters of both parties. One gen.
tleman writes US that sin his rulings,
IN his judicial promptness, and in his
fairness towards all litigants, Judge
Bradbury has proven himself the
equal OF Judge Guthrie" Lawyers
all know that this is saying that he
stands at the head of the Judiciary.
OF course he will be triumphantiy
elected.-Middleport Ne,us.
