Selecting Choice Evergreen Trees.

A SMALL number of evergreen trees that
have taken a vital hold of the soil, so that
they grow luXuriantly every summer, will
always add largely TO the rural beauty of
the surroundings of any homestead. No
small cottage yard nor extensive grounds
should be destitute of such cheap adorn-
ments. If one does not feel able to eX-
pend few dollars for such purpose, by
way of purchasing ornamental trees at
some nursery, let team be sent to the for
est to bring home cedars, pines, hemlocks,
spruce or tamarack trees. In many sec
tions of country the two evergreens which,
from their case of culture and intrinsic
worth, are most popular, are the Norway
spruce and the arbor vitae. They may be
easily transplanted, are of rapid growth,
and, when well-shaped specimens are
chosen, are fine for the lawn and excel
lent for masses and screens. They will
live in poor and thrive in good soils, and
will bear cutting rs the cultivator may
fancy. Nothing is more beautiful than a
Tellgrown specimen OF our common
white pine, or Weymouth pine.
One of the chief obstacles to its
! general introduction seems 10 be its
nativity, If it were brought from dis
tance and sold at high price, this much
orally sought after. Then there is the
common hemlock (AJieS CanddeRsis)
than which few evergreens are more beau
tiful.
The pine and hemlock, unless small
and thrifty, are rather impatient of re
moval but tits worth while to take specia
pains TO secure so fine tree. The Aus
trian, Scotch and Cembrian pines make
noble trees, and the pigmy pine (pinuI
pumiIiO) and the Irish and Swedish juni
pers are desirable for small grounds. A
any time, and especially in late planting
the greatest care should be taken to pre-
vent the roots of evergreens from drying
They should be kept we'll covered from
the moment they are out of the grounC
till they are replanted. Where it is prac
ticable the holes should be prepared be
forehand, adding fine and rich soil where
the land is poor 1t is always better tt
wait for a cloudy day upon which to take
up the trees from the nursery. Large
stones laid over the roots are better thar
stakes. Besides holding the tree In place
stones laid around then will act as
mulch TO prevent the soil from drying out
But it will be better to spread a small
quantity of old hay, straw or coarse ma
nure about trees just transplanted before
| stones are put In place.
1t is always safer when purchasing
evergreen trees of any sort at nurseries t
select small and thrifty ones, and espe
cially such as have mat of roots. Wher
the roots of pine tree are regular stubs
more like the prongs of a PERSONS tootl
than the fibrOus roots of a tree, it will bt
difficult to make the trees live more thar
year or two. But, if they have ma
of fine roots, and if they are planted in
deep, rich and mellow bed, the roots will
take vital hold on the soil at once ant
the tree will grow luxuriantly Y

Rheumatism Symptom OF other Dis
eABeB.

The alarming extent OF chronic Theuma-
tlsm In the country has led to persistent in
vcstigation. 1t has lately been ascertained
that the disease is the result of other com
plicated diseases of the liver, kidneys, PAN
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is a symptom. 1t
is also found that, by the removal of the
complicated disease, the rheumatism disNp-
pears, as a result which seems TO substantiate
the theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment Of this
disease has been, and we now hail with Joy
the dawn OF this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms of these diseases
are generally present In cases OF chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease TO be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest remedy
can be found in the SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs OR CURATIVE SYRUP; 1t appears to
be working many cures. We refer to the
article sold by Druggists and A. ]. White,
New York.

Measuring by the Eye.

place, and then see how near anybody

The fact Is, our eyes deceive us ridicu-
lOusly, even upon the commonest things.
At first thought, which should you say

actual measurement convince you that the

There is an old saying that child two

tBThe attention of those who believe
the Democrats in Congress seriously in
tend to retrench is respectfully directed to
a few of their measures of reform which
we print in our Washington dispatches
Ex- Confederate Postmaster General Rea-
gan comes forward with two very inter-
esting bills, one of which appropriates
$4,000 to pay the election expenses of
six gentlemen who, he claims, were elect
ed t0 Congress, but refused admission,
and the other provides, in effect, for the
payment of rebel war claims. Mr.. Will
shire, of Arkansas, has proposed two
equally remarkable measures of reform.
One OF them contemplates the restoration
TO the pension-roll of all veterans of the
war of 1912 whose names were erased for
disloyaly, and the payment TO them. or
their heirs, of their pensions, not only
r from this time on, but for all the time
they were fighting against the Union.
The other bill does away with the Court
of Claims and virtually, places the adju-
dication of rebel wdr.claims in the hands
of rebel judges and juries. Mr.. Harris,
OF Virginia, also has bill which is lev.
eled at The public purse. These are but a
few of the much-talked of reforms which
the Democrats propose TO inaugurate, but
they serve TO show the spirit that animates
the parly.-Inter-O OcedR.

A CHRISTIAN LIAR.-Some time
ago we attended religious meeting
in certain schoolhouse not thou
sand miles from the United States,
where the time was being filled by
lay exhortations interspcrsed with
singing. Brother Cramer led the
choir. Brother Chadsey was rather
Grabbed fellow, and had recently had
some little difficulty with Brother
Cramer. Imagine Chadsey's indig-
nant establishment as he closed his
exhortation to see Bro. Cramer rise
and calmly inquire: SIS there an
other liar in the house2" and then,
as the audience looked expectantly
from one to the other, add: ~ mean
Christian liar" The sold man" in
Bro. Chadsey's nature came near
forever destroying the good effects
of that meeting before he could be
made to realize that the choir was
short of books, and that it was a
copy of the hymn book in use-"The
Christian Lyre"--that Bro Cramer
was ingniring for.

Y. NJ. G. A. QUEsTIoNs.-Our hints
regarding the music-box question
have apparently been well received
by the festive members of the Y.
NJ. G. A., and we take this occasion
to return thanks for the many com
plimentary notes we have lately re-
ceived, (this doesn't refer to the
anonymous club left in the office a
few nights since,) and in answer to
one Of our correspondents who asks ::
"What does girl mean, when she
asks you to try her ring on your
forefngerl" we can only answer that
our knowledge of the feminine char
acter is so very limited that--well,
if she is a belle we suppose she
means you are the "bell-ringer." At
any rate by accepting it you will
test her metal.
Another member Of that worthy
association has been making love to
two girls, and asks advice on the
subject. We can only say, It's best to
be off with the old love, before you
are on with the new, but don't be
in hurry to be off to church with
either.
To M. R.-Hypocrisy is very
common, it being easy to acquire it.;
but hypocrisy is totally different
from stimulation. The former is
the attribute Of low and evil minds.

ing for advice regarding the mumps

MINING ITEMS.

The Elko Tndependent" says the
Island Mountain mine has been sold
to some San Francisco parties.
The amount of bullion produced
by the Consolidated Virginia mine
to date for the month of March is
$1,O1O,42O.71.
We understand that the Belcher
Mining Company will build their new
repe-house on the east side of the
railroad track. 1t is also their inten-
ton to heat their tar hereafter by
steam.
The lime that is being made in Ell
Dorado Canyon is being tested, and
is found to be good article. 1t is
being used in laying the foundations
for the Belcher machinery at Gold
Hill, and in plastering several build
ings. Heretofore most of the lime
used has been brought from Califor-
MIA.
At the special meeting of the stock
holders of the Hale & Norcross Min
ing Company, to be h I'D at San Fran
cisco on the 18th Of next month, a
proposition will be considered and
decided upon to increase the capital
stock of the company from IS, 200, 900
divided into 10000 shares of 5000
each, the present capital of the COM
pany, to $11 200. 900, to be divided
into 10000 shares of 500 each.
The work of driving the header in
the Sutro tunnel is progressing at
the rate of 100 feet per week. The
header is now in distance of $4,000
feet. The widening out of the tun-
mel is being carried forward at the
rate of 400 feet per week. The
number of men employed in the tun-
mel is 100, and the number of mules
twenty. The mule-trains bring out
eighteen car loads of waste rock to
the trip and make three trips on
each eight hour shift. There is no
snow at Sutro, the roads on the east
side of the mountain being dry and
dusty.
Speaking of the North Carson
mine, the Tribune" of the 18th
says
The entire day force is now en-
ployed on the 250-foot level drift
ing to the north. The regular ore
vein at this depth is about three
and half feet wide, we'll defined
and compact, with what seems to be
a twin vein on the outside of the
east wall. The prospects continu-
ally improve. and judging from the
good natured reticence of Superin-
tendent Gould, we are very much
inclined to the belief that the North
Carson will surprise some of us be-
fore long. There can be no doubt
that the principal owners of the
mine are highly gratified with the
developments TINS far. When the
new hosting works arrive we ex-
pect to see lively times.
The Erie Consolidated Mining
Company has been listed upon all
the stock boards, and will hereafter
be one of the lively stocks on the

REMARKABLE TRoTTINa RACE

REMARKABLE TRoTTING RACE
One of the most exciting contests be-
tween fast horses it was ever our
pleasure to witness took place yester-
day at Dayton. Lyman Brown en-
tered and rode "Humboldt Bill" a
diminutivc brown mustang, not high
enough to keep the riders legs from
ripping up the track like a pair of
roadscrapers. John Godfrey entered
and rode "Happy Jack" sorrel
horse, as tall in proportion as the
other was short. The stakes were $50
side, and the course W as Pike street,
between the Court House and the
Union Hotel-a distance of $50
yards. The first heat was declared a
draw, notwithstanding the "hroncor
was % yards ahead. The horses ran
the second heat from the score, in
stead Of trotting, the little brown
again coming out ahead, being de-
clared winner; time, 81 minutes.
Such time is unknown in all previous
history of horseracing. The money
was Immediately spent for drinks.

NORTH DAYTON - FLoURIsHING
PRosPEcTs.-It is pleasure to re.

on the North Dayton consists of a
tunnel upwards of 600 feet in length.
tapping the "water vein," or present
boiy of ore, at depth of about 800
feet from the surface. The ledge at
this stage of progress is widening
every foot, and the walls are well de-
fined. Assays of the ore are in pro-
gress, and it is also proposed to ship
and work batch of it as soon as the
roads get in more passable condi-
ton. II is proper to add in this con-
nection that to the mistaken faith,
untiring energy and perseverance of
Mr.. A. j. Beales, the Superintendent,
who located the mine as well, is the
present state of development almost,
if not entirely, due. The tunnel has
been driven through the solid rock
the entire distance, and it is satisfac-
tory to know that such deserving and
costly enterprise Is about to be re-
warded with corresponding success.
1t is safe to say that the North Day
ton is one of the most positively
promising mines of the continuation
south of the main Comstock lode.
