THE FAMILY.-The family is the edu-
Gator Of the race, Here men and women
are made. What they are in the world.
that they were in the family as children.
The family is the place where the first
lessons Of law are received, aud where
the whole character in view Of law has
a direction given it. The citizen is made
in the family long before the time of
voting or activity has come. When Ma
poleon said in answer to Nine dc Stael's
question about Frances greatest need,
Mothers. he asserted the all-potent
influence of true family life. The fam
lily is the greatest means for the devel-
opment of character. What world
does it present for the affections TO abide
in ! Where on all the earth besides are
sympathies SO warm, love so pure and
fervent as here? All that gives value
or beauty to human character finds in
the family at once an atmosphere in
which to expand and develop the ele-
ments which shall bring it to the high
est perfection. The family creates a
perpetual power which holds and moves
evermore each individual of the circle.
The parental love, evoked every hour IN
providing, watching, guiding, throws
back its influence over the heart and
life nf fathe- and mother and nal,as
them what they could never be without
it 7; it is a power which tends all the
time to lift them to higher and better
place.

THE EUREKA MILLS FIRE,-
About ll:20 o'clock on Friday
night last fire was discovered in
the carpenter shop of the Eureka
mill, on the Carson river. A
blacksmith shop which was close
a. hand was soon reached by the
flames, and the fire that followed
was very hot one. 1t was only
by dint of great exertfon that the
mill was saved from destruction.
Had there been wind at the time
such as prevails in that locality it
would have been impossible to pre-
vent its burning. All the men en-
ployed on the premises responded
ut once to the alarm. and used all
the appliances at hand for quellipg
u fire. While thus engaged. some
robbers visited their cabins close
by aud gathered in all the piunder
within reach. They broke in the
doors Of the houses and rifled all
the trunks they found, in search of
coin and valuables. They had q
pair of large nippers--probably ia
ken from the blacksmith shop
with which they seized hold of the
hasps OF the locks of the trunks
and wrenched them off as easily as
though they had been made of pa
per. The plumber obtained was
trihing in comparison with the de-
struction wrought by the villains,
aud it was no fault of theirs that
the big mill was not also destroyed.
Thomas Cop eland, foreman of the
mill, had $500 in coin taken from
his trunk; also, a valuable gold
watch and chain, and he had y
chest of tools DESTROYED in the fire.
His total loss was probably S10O or
$500. The trunk Of Dan. Haley,
mill hand, was broken open and
$50 i'll coin taken. A number OF
trunks were broken open aud ran
sacked in which nothing of value
was found. Had the robbers wait
ell few days, until after the men
were paid oil, they could have made
quite a haul. They are supposed
to have visited the mill in a buggy
aud to have come from towards
Carson. The buggy-traek was
quite plain.

The following was written by 8.
W. Hill, the efficient telegraph OPP
orator, a few days before his death
and handed to us for publication
As the Western Union telegraph
Office in Virginia takes a front rank
Though not in its own estimation)
among the most important business
concerns on the Comstock, it is no
more than just that review Of the
interior of this establishment should
be given to your readers. The office
is located on South G street, in the
Odd Fellows building. The man
ayers Office, battery room and re-
celving department are on the first
floor, while the operating depart
mept occupies the flor Immediately
above. The business is under the
direct supervision of Mr.. George
Senf, one of the pioneer managers
of the Pacific coast, who, by practi-
cal experience, possesses q knowl-
edge of Geographic matters not to be
excelied by any one on the Eastern
slope, if IN the United States. He is
assisted by Mr.. Samuel b. Rankin,
chief of the operating department.
There Is indeed very little digni-
ty, glory or interest felt among
the veterans OF the profession, for
semi-annual per- cent. dividends on
the part of the company, and annual
l213 per cent. reductions on
tne part of the employees are not
at all congenial to the ideas OF the
latter; and the two interests do not
seem to harmonic airy more than
oil and water. Hence our modern
"lightning singer is the most I'M
assuming individual in the world.
He d>votes greater part OF his
youthful days i'll making himself
proficient in the art, and after his
goal has been gained he estimates
his accomplishments about on par
with dead letter, or the ashes FROM
the stump of his cigar. But if any
one believes that the operators pro-
tession Is not one of the highest in
responsibility and trust, let him visit
the operating department in Virginia
aud watch these expert gentlemen,
who are generally as busy as bees
around hive, commu aing with dis
tant cities IN all directions. Let him
contemplate the vital importance OF
the class of business that is entrust-
ed 10 these gentlemen, and he will
soon be convinced that he has la
bored under false impression. But
TO return to the .sforce." 1t Is com
posed OF the following named gen.
tlumen: Samuel b. Rankin, chief
Alfred b. McCoy, John Donneiiy,
Judge L. j. Baldwin, A, ii McPhee,
Vim. Ii. Murphy, J. +. Prentiss,
Eugene Sherwood, A. &. True and
MIR. Thompson, superintendent OF
repairs and batteries. In view of
the vast importance OF the business
incideptal 10 the great volume OF
stock messages whlch must necessa
rily pass through this office, the
above named operators have been
picked from the company's most
competent men in both East and
West with view 10 their peculiar
fitness and competency to cope with
the style of business on the Com
stock. And Judging from the high
estimation in which they are held
by the company and the remarkable
obliging disposition of the entire
outfit, il must certainly be regarded
as the company's model office on the
Pacific coast.
