Our interior exchanges, both from
Nevada and California, come to us
teeming with complaint of the hard
times. Business, they say, was never as
dull. Money Is scarce and hard to get.
labor is at discount, many of the in
terror industries have shut down. and
propositions for the reduction of wages
are being seriously discussed. Much of
this is blamed on the depreciation of
silver. but as matter of fact this melan-
choly state or affairs is only a reflex of
what is going on in the East, in Europe,
in the colonies, and in fact all over the
financial and commercial world. The
several causes which always operate
to produce dull times in July and
August are all at work, and this coast
always stagnates to q certain extent
during these months. But America in
general and the Pacific Coast in par
ticular have powers of recuperation
which are denied to the rest of the
world. Our outlook is far less gloomy
than is that OF other portions of the
world just at present. Europe is dis
tracted with instruction and dissatis-
faction, and seems to be trembling on
the eve of a general war. That ID no
pleasant prospect for them. but for US,
selishly considered, the prospect opens

this coast is undoubtedly the mining in

been depressed of late, to an extent. per

A Romantic Double Wedding
Celebrated in Primitive Style,
the Whitehall (Ill.) Times. !

From the Whitehall Qll.) Timcs.l
Greene County is never willing to be
lett behind her sisters in any respect
and she now presents to an admirinG
world one Of the most remarkable cases
of Glove at first sight" ever made public.
1t can fairly be termed the centennial
wedding.
Richard Wiles is man we'll known in
the eastern part of the county, and he
is the father OF son and daughter,
both of whom are under age. Though
both of these young folks have mingled
freely with those of the opposite sex,
their hearts had never been captured
previous to last week. On Monday. the
goth ult., these young folks went to visit
the family Of DR.. Travis, a cancer doc
tor living near Winche ater. The doctor
was also the happy father Of son and a
daughter just budding into manhood and
womanhood, whether they were younger
or older than the young Wiles' we are
unable to say. The young people of the
two families had never met previously,
but before they had been in each others
company many hours each OF the four
felt irresistibly drawn toward the repre-
sentative Of the other family and sex.
In the course of the visit the two young
men, as was natural, found themselves
alone together, and, after some prelimi-
nary hesitation, each confessed that the
others sister had stormed and captured
the citadel OF his heart. A double we'd
ding was at first laughingly proposed,
and finally seriously considered. Mean
time the maidens also had friendly
chat together, and soon each found that
her brother was loved by the other.
Such state Of affairs could not exist
long without mutual understanding be-
ing reached. Though we are not per-
mitted to give the date Of the engage
ment of the two couples, this we can
say: That, ON Wednesday, August 23d
just three days from the first meeting
The four hearts were made to beat as two
according to the statute of the State and
the ordinances OF the Bible.

Indian Runners.
[From the Alta California, |


A correspondent i'll the Sioux country
writes: This system of Indian runners
seems TO be little understood. Ii inn.
portant news is to be carried, an Indian
gorges himself with meat, takes a short
nap, mounts one of the fsetest of their
ponies, and rushes along like the wind
until his horse requires feed, when he
mods few times while his horse satis-
fies its hunger from the luxurious mead.
ows, when the ride is renewed, The
runner needs nothing for his pony, and
takes nothing for himself but his arrows
and blankets, and Will in the manner in-
dlcated ride two or three days and
nights, passing over from sixty to one
hundred miles in each twenty.four
hours. When the nearest camp is
reached, his story is taken up by other
Indians, and in like manner carried in
every direction. The speed with which
the news travels depends upon its i'm.
portance, but in this way the Indians
often beat the telegraph, and their first
reports, il they come direct, are usually
to be relied upon.
