SPECIAL Cab.

We do not know that ii is such
yer big thing to travel East in spe-
cial car. A fellow who does so is sure
to get his name in the papers when he
starts, and that Is about all the fun he
has on his whole trip. He Is shut up
In his exclusiveness and can not see
the other people who are going along
a: the same time, and more than half
the pleasure found in travelling Is see-
ing people. The special car man may
have nicer cushions to ride upon. may
have champagne and other delicacies.
may get little more obsequious at
tention from the train porters, may
not have to he interviewed by the boy
who sells prize candy and he may not
be in great danger of catching the itchi
but still he can not be very happy.
He sits up and thinks of himself and
has no fresh man, who may be char
acter, to come along and give him a
new sensation or to suggest to him an
idea which is novel and entertaining.
The traveller who does not mix with
all sorts of people and keep an eye on
all the various characters to be met
with in journey, may travel far and
see nothing. For all practical pur-
poses such a traveller had as well be
switched off on side track and be left
to himself for duly appointed time.
We are reminded of this by being In
Colfax the other day when an Eastern
bound train stopped there, and with
which there was special car. The
windows of the special car were inn
mediately blinded and q guard stood
at either door of the car to prevent an
invasion. The traveller in that Car did
not want to see nor to be Seen. Then
everybody knew that some stuck up
idiot was in there, and that that idiot
did not want to learn any more than
he now knows. And the outside world
lost nothing by that shutting up. We
do not know that all special car trav-
elers are so very particular about be-
ing looked at, but most of them are;
most of them withdraw into their ca
ses and imagine that wherever they
go people think of nobody but them.
And so the money which gives the OPP
portunity of culture and Improvement
is too often spent in an endeavor to be
grand under an exclusiveness.-G

Sharon's Chinaman.

Senator Sharon's Chinaman is q big
man, according to the Silver City
New Reporter which relates the fol-
lowing:
at once infer from the euphOnious cog
nomen by which he Is handled in con-
versation, but he is no common scrub
of Chinaman; he is Senator Sharon's
Chinaman, and as we stood upon the
platform ready to board the train for
Virginia City on Friday, we noticed
that All XII was also on the platform
waiting for the train. We hadn't
been told that it was All Ki until we
enquired "Who is that measly- y-looking
Chlnaman with whom about all the
finely-dressed people on the platform
are shaking hands?" We enQuired of
d Carsonite, and the Carsonite almost
Indignantly replied that 1.-THE person
to whom you refer is All XII, sir! All
XII and be attends to business for Sem
ator Sharon, sir, Senator Sharon"
We didn't say anything more about
"measly- looking Chinamen" just
then, for when one is in a foreign land
one should not knock down idols
or make fun of them; but after the
train started we noticed Mr.. General
Judge Count Ah Ki, "Senator Sharon's
Chinaman,n on the next seat ahead of
US, and let open the reportorial bat
terry upon him.
"Ah XII, I believer"
Eyes, sir, that's my name; I just
came home with Mr.. Sharon's car;
brought it all the way from WASH
ington; going up to Virginia now;
left the car in Carson. l have been
with Sharon twelve yea-s-know him
twenty years; I like Washington
first-rate-seen good many things.
Pm pretty sleepy now-no sleep last
night"
And with that he curled down on
the seat, chucked his hat over his
eyes and in the next instant snored.
Our first shot brought all we desired
to know, but 1t was plain to US that
All XII had seen a news reporter be.
fore, and his experience with them
had not been pleasant. All XII has
fat job," and he is probably first
rate Chinaman, and as long as we
know that no Comstock miner would
have been glad of the chance to go
along and take care of that car, see all
the sights that All XII did, draw q
good salary and put on the dignity Of
being "Senator Sharon's business
man." we are willing that Ah XII
should keep his situation.

A Widely Applicable Remedy.

Few remedies are applicable to such wide
range of disorders as Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, and this not because 1t has special
properties adapted to the cure Of each-such
pretence would be manlfestly absurd-but
ON account of its wonderfully improving ef-
feet upon the general tone Of the system, and
its Alternative action upon the organs of nutri-
ton, secretion and discharge. Besides It's
we'll known properties as a remedy for inter-
mittent and remittent fevers, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, ,torpidity of the liver, general debil-
ity urinary and uterine difficulties, IL invaii-
ably proves to be highly serviceable in over
coming anemia, ,hypochrondria
insom mia, and many other disorders and dis
abilities originating in poverty or impurity Of
the blood, nervous weakness or over-excite-
ment, or an imperfect performance OF the
physical functions

1t is announced that Henry Ward
Beecher is one of the Vice-Presidents
of the "New York Republican Reform
Club" This, perhaps, is we'll. Henry
ought to join, and take high position,
not only in political but in moral re-
form Clubs-that is, if the maxim Is
borne in mind, and enforced, that ssthe
way to reform mankind is to begin
with reforming yourself He GER
tainly ought to know and feel the ne
cessity of reformation, and to appre-
ciate its Importance as fully as the
next man. But we may be permitted
to say, that if his is the sort of timber
out of which the Radicals propose to
make reform leaders, it would be bet
ter for the country to retain Belknap,
Babcock & Co., with the present fra
grant regime in front.-Eronsiner.

An exchange remarks that the fig
ures showing the comparative cost Of
running the Treasury Department Of
the United States and the British EN-
pire should startle every man in the
country. The cost of our Treasury
management is stated at So, ,263, ,013,
and how much more nobody knows,
while England's expenses in conduct
ing her finances are only $76l, 100.
Here is difference for our Radical
brethren to explain to the people.
Why should We expend two millions
and half more than England in sala-
ries, etc., for really less service in this
Department? We should be gratified
to hear an explanation Of this singu-
lar and suspicious fact.

1T is SELDOM THAT WE NOTICE anything in
the medical line, nor would we now, unless
we could be convinced that we are not doing
our duty as Journalists In recommending to
the public the celebrated botonical prepara-
tions of DR.. Henry. Whoever induces the
victim OF Scrofula or any other disease of the
blood, to use DIR. Henry.s Extract OF Sarsapa-
rilla, has begun good work. There can be
no question as to the result of this medicine
If persevered in. 1t is sure cure for Scrofu-
la, Rheumatism, Salt Rheum, and indeed all
complaints arising from vitiated and impure
blood. Il is just what good physician would
prescribe for these complaints, and we con-
fidentially recommend IL as being the best
article now in use. DIR. Henry's Cough Balsam
is the most effective remedy for any affections
of the Throat or Lungs that we have ever
known. 1t contains no deleterlous drugs,
and can be taken with impunity and GER
tainty of relief. For the cure of Coughs, Colds.
Sore Throat, etc., it stands without rival.
DIR. Henry's Linament as an alleviator OF
pain, is unrivalled by any preparation before
the public; the most skeptical will be con-
vinced by single trial. 1t will prove itself a
"triend in need" which no family should be
without

Revelations by the Microscope.

There is story that an eminent mi
croscopist hnd bit OF substance sub
mitted to him to decide what it was. To
nu unaided eye it might be morsel Of
skin which baggage smasher had
Knocked of the corner Of smoothly
worn hair trunk. Tho savant appealed
to his microscope. Entirely ignorant Of
this tiny bit OF matter, except rs he had
taken counsel with his instrument, the
wise man declared that it was the skin
OF human being, and that, judging by
tho fine hair on it, it was from the so
called naked portion Of tho body, and,
further. that it once belonged to fair
complexioned person. Tho strange facts
now made known TO the man OF science
were these: That thousand years be-
fore, 4 Danish marauder had robbed un
English church. In the spirit Of tho
old fashioned piety tho robbor was ilaycd
Qet us hope that he was killed first, and
tho skin was nailed to tho church door.
Except rs tradition or archaeological lore
had il, tho affair lad been forgotten for
hundreds Of years. Time, the great
erodent, had long ago utterly removed
tho offensive thing. Still, however, the
church door held to its marks Of tho
great shame, for tho broad.hCadod nails
remained. Somebody extracted one,
and underneath its flint head was this
atomic remnant Of that ancient Scandi.
