CHAPTER III.


SHALL take little space to tell of we'd
ding number tpo. am old now-sixty-
five on Christmas eve Times have
changed in forty-five years. A few
weeks ago Malcolm-his hair is " like
the snow " now-and | came to the city
to visit our daughter-t the wee bairnie !"
whom carried in my mufa And, last
week, we were invited to attend we'd
ding at one of the Collegiate churches
at Fifth Avenue. The bride was the
granddaughter Of the young woman
who was married that night, forty-five
years ago, up in Montgomery county.
What contrast there was in the we'd
dings, and in the brides This young
girl, in her trailing satin dress, white as
sheeted snow, her point D'Alencon
tiounces, and wreath of real orange bios
SONS, was as pale as lily, and her waist
was SO slender that l wondered how she
had strength to carry the weight of her
train. No roses save white ones bloomed
on her cheeks. No wonderl She never
MIXED the sweet-breathed kline; she
never carded wool and fax, and spun
and wove, as her handsome grandmother
did. The wedding was very grand one.
From the church door to the sidewalk
there was an awning, and the pavement
was carpeted. There were six brides
maids and groomsmen, and the church
was filled with gaily dressed people.
The clergyman who married them wore
a gown, and read the service from
book. Then at the house there was
great display of flowers and presents,
and the bride and groom, surrounded by
their attendants, stood in state for hours.
and received their friends; and wines
and ices and wonderful confec.ions were
served; and after the guests had left,
the bridal party vent in a special train
on their wedding tour.

that these changes are but the necessary

IN it were set the tables for the enter
tainment. Loaded with cold roast tur.
key and chicken, mince and pumpkin
pies, :" ole kokes." doughnuts, jumbles,
plain cake, pound-cake, fruit-cake, ap-
plies and nuts, they fairly groaned under
the weight of their hospitality. Soon
after our arrival there was a little stir
and clearing of space about the door
that separated the kitchen from the sit
ting-room, and the bridal party came in.
The bride was young, and had the
bright ruddy complexion so universal
with the girls on those hills, living ac-
tive, useful lives as they did. She was
dressed in some soft material of worsted
and silk the short sleeves and four-incb
boddice were dashed with blue, and she
wore blue sash and blue morocco shoes
with high heels. The groom was a stall
wart, broad-shouldered young fellow,
fine in home-spun clothes and brass but
tons. The Yankee schoolmaster and the
bridegrooms sister were groomsman and
bridesmaid. The marriage ceremony
was short and simple. Then followed
much kissing and many jokes, some not
so remarkable for wit as certain coarse
ness that passed for it. Supper follow
ed, and great was the merriment when
the bridesmaid drew the ring that had
been placed in the wedding cake After
supper the table was cleared as if by
magic; the elders retired to the sittingroom
and the hostess bedroom, where, on the
high post bedstead, hung with blue check
ed curtains, slept my little baby, uncon-
scious of all that was around her; of all
that was before her The young people
had gathered in the kitchen and supper
room, and soon the sound of their merri-
ment came in to us, for though | was not
yet twenty years old, / was the minis
ter's wife, and had to sit-much against
my inclination with the staid old peo-
pie.
Hunt the slipper" and kindred
games, were played with forfeits, and
after awhile there was sort Of lull, and
then scraping and twanging sound,
and | knew the alarm for us to leave
had sounded, for the fiddles were being
tuned for the dance and, sure enough,
my good husband at once arose and said,
very gravely, Susan, | think we had
better be going now" Soon we were
wrapped up, and baby, who had opened
her blue eyes only minute, and stared
about as if unable to decide whether this
was part of her dream or not, and then
shut them again, was tucked once more
into the great muff, and we accepted the
invitation of one of our own deacons to
ride home with him and his wife.
Did you get the two dollars, NAL
colin - | asked. when we were again at
our own hearthstone. =" Yes, indeed"
he answered, "and another dollar be-
side, which the schoolmaster told me
was for making the ceremony SO short.
Old Dominic Van Horn, of Johnstown,
who used to do the marrying, was wont
to keep the poor creatures standing an
hour and sometimes more. The Yankee
'reckoned | had tied them just as fast in
five minutes. And the dear fellow
put into my hand three silver dollars,
saying, "There, Susan, there is so much
towards educating the wee bairnie."

RIDING WITH A LUNATIC.
Conductor Earmichael's Narrow


James Carmichael, a newly-appoint-
ed conductor to take charge of a
train on the Eureka and Palisade rail
road, met with a thrilling incident on
Tuesday night last while en- route over
the Central Pacific road from Truckee
to Palisade, the terminus of the Eu-
reka and Palisade road.
He and a fellow.passenger got on
the overland train bound east at
Truckee, and Carmichael, who had
been sick with chills and fever for
about six weeks, got in the smoking
car and sat down by the stove. The
other man sat several seats back, near
some Cinnamon who We're the only
remaining passengers in that coach.
The insane man kept looking back
at the adjoining coach, and said to
Carmichael that he was in with those
other fellows seeking 20 take his
life. He came up TO the stove with a
large pocket-kniie IN his hand and
told Carmichael not to move or he
would Kill him. He saw the man
was crazy and tried to pacify him.
The fellow then would not allow the
brakeman or conductor to enter the
coach. Finally, he seated himself on
the seat back of his intended victim,
and in a few minutes suddenly arose
and struck at him with q knife.
Carmichael lodged his head and the
knife cut his hat. Both then scuf-
fled for a few minutes. He got the
frightened Cinnamon between him
and the lunatic, and made his escape
into the other car, though Il badly
on the right check and received a
cash in his left leg. His clothes
were also cut in several places. Car
michael says hat the maj was of
small stature but very quick and re-
markedly strong. His escape from
death he regards as a very narrow
one. After he left the car the man
broke the window panes with a
stick of wood and cut the seat cush-
ions with his knife. The singular
part is that he did not attack the
Cinnamon. When the train stopped
at Mystic Station the crazy man got
off and has not since been heard
from. Engine IS went up to Bronco,
but the Whereabouts of the man We're
unknown.

THE RICHMOND.
The Bonanza Mine Of the Great
EOsf.

The Richmond mine is a practica
demonstration of the fact that the de
spised limestone formation of the Base
Range contains a deposit Of a body o
ore second to zone in the State out.
side of The Comstock, and vieing with
thatin its proportions and value. 1t has
not achieved a notoriety commen,
surate with its deserts, from the fac,
that it has not been the shuttlecock oil
the stock board, as il is under the con
troll of an English company who are
content to pocket their dividends with
out the Intervention of the brokers.
1t is useless to attempt any descrip-
ton of a mine hat our readers are al
ready familiar with, but a brief refer
ence to its present condition may be OF
interest.
The mine is worked intelligently and
with due regard to the future needs OF
its increased development. During
the last six months a body of ore
was found on the lower level that has
proved itself a veritable bonanza, its
extent and value as yet undetermined.
The breasts and Slopes on the 900
foot level reveal a mass of ore unpar-
alleled in our mining experience, and
assaying higher in silver than any pre-
vious body of ore extracted from the
mine. The immense width of this de-
post, taken in competition with the de
velopments in the cross-cuts, and
wines, promises a mine of an extent
so magnificent that those most familiar
with ore values can hardly estimate its
worth.
Before reaching this body the miners
encountered a mass of refractory metal
that retarded operations at the furnaces
by the difficulties that had to be over
come before it could be successfully
smelted. To understand what nature
can do in the way of combinations,
we give the result of an assay of this
ferruginous ore; Gold, silver, iron,
lead, zincssulphur, arsenic, cobalt, an
timony, manganese and traces Of
nickle. As the percentage varied with
every ton of ore, it will be. seen that
the smelters task was no easy one, but
the deposit was rich in silver, and was
finally extracted, successfully worked,
and the company were rewarded by
the discovery of tie present bonanza.
Many improvements have been
made during the year, both at the
mine and furnaces. One of the most
important of which is the connection
of the mine by railroad with the re-
duction works. This does away with
the cumbersome method of hauling by
teams, as the cars will be filled at the
ore dumps of the mine and deliver
their lOad at the furnaces. NeyOtia-
tions for a contract to deliver 800 tons
per day are pending with the Railroad
Company. The ore dumps are full and
the amount hoisted is limited to the
capacity of the furnaces.
AT present the Richmond is the mine
of Eastern Nevada and the mainstay
of the town OF Eureka. 1t gives en-
ployment to an army of miners, smelt-
ers aud laborers, and insures the pros
perity of this portion OF the Base
Range.

The

The room.fight, TO have taken
place last night between Davis
and Tictall, did not come off. A dis
agreement arose about the referee.
Sheriff Gilmore volunteered his SER
vices in that direction and gave all
parties to understand that there
should be no fight or else there
would be some work for him and
his deputies to take a hand in. 1t is
right that the disgraceful affair thus
terminates. Men who put them
selves on a level with bulldogs, or
even lower, should be dealt with in
the strictest manner, and the law in
regard TO such beastly performances
rigidly enforced. Considerable feel
ing exists between the friends of the
two parties, both blaming the other
for the fiasco. The money was drawn
down and the fight declared off,
Both men should go and enlist in
the Turkish army, where they would
have a chance TO "ohaw" and scratch

ness is disgusting.

A Prophecy That Doesn't work Here.

In the Harlelan manuscripts Inc iol-
lowing quaint lines of prophecy occur:
If Christmas day on Monday be,
A great winter that year twill be,
And full OF winds, both loud and shrill.
But in ummer, truth to tell,
High winds shall there be and strong.
Full of t~einpests, lasting long,
While battles they shall multiply,
And great plenty of beasts shall die.
They that be born that day l ween.
They shall be strong each one and keen;
lie shall be found that stealeth aught- d.
Though thou BIO sick thou diest not.

be a false prophecy, and the prophet,
