HISTORY OF THE FAN.

A curious little volume has ust ap
peared, giving the history of fans among
all nations ut all periods. The author.
Blondell. who has been able to examine
many rare collections, states that it came
from the East where it was always ac-
companied by tlipilap and parasol.
The former is made of Thibitian butfa-

tremity is atuft OF hair in the form OF q
plume. Fans Of feathers, recently in
fashion, date from the seventh century,
They were first used in China, where the
Emperor kao Tsong, having heard the
cry of the pheasant, supposed it 70 be an
suspicious sign, and ordered q tanto be
shaped like the tail of that bird, Accord

A GANG OF CoUNTERFEITERs ABROAD
A man giving the name of E. S. Smith,
was arrested in San Francisco on the 21st
on a charge of counterfeiting. He is be-
lieved to be connected with a gang who
have been sending counterfeit coin to the
interior through Wells, Fargo & Co.'S ex-
press. 1t is estimated that several thou
sand dollars of this counterfeit money is
in circulation in the interior and in Virgil
MIA City, which latter place the counter
feiters have lately made their field of oper-
atoms. A number of letters offering to
sell bogus notes and coin for small sums
of gold coin were found on Smith when
he was arrested. No coins or notes
were found on him. however.

PARTY.

A few evenings since we were invited
to attend a surprise party, to be given BY
the citizens of Eberhardt to Capt. Frank
Drake, before his departure for London.
Our old wife and self availed ourselves of
the opportunity, and arrived at Mr..
Bush's residence at s o'clock in the even
ing, where we found a large number of
ladies and gentlemen just ready to make
q start for the residence of the Captain.
Nearly every one present had a lantern
or armsful of provisions, etc. The pro-
cession moved very quietly up the hill.
and arriving at the house, found no one
at home but Mrs. Oliver Drake, sister-in-
law of the Captain, who was not a little
surprised at the number of her guests.
She was politely informed that the party
would take possession of the house and
"run'' it on their own account for awhile.
which they at once proceeded to do. A
committee was appointed to repair to the
company's Office and notify Capt. Drake
that bis presence was needed atthe house
Immediately. The balance of those pres
ent at oncec commenced to the furnl-
ture, etc., about, and put the house in
order for a dance, which was in full blast
in the parlor and dining-room when the
Captain arrived. and which was kept up
until II o'clock, at which time the ladies
cleared the dining-room and set out a
very sumptuous lunch they had prepared
for the occasion. While this was going
on the gentlemen were invited into the
parlor, and as many as could get in, lis
tened to the speech of Major Treese,
who, on behalf of the citizens of Eber-
hardt. and those in the employ of the
Eberhardt & Aurora Company at that
place, had been delegated to return their
most heartfelt thanks to Capt. Drake
for the many kindnesses he had rendered
them, and for his safe and speedy return
home. Capt. Drake replied in q very
feeling and lengthy speech. These
speeches fully demonstrated to us that
the best of feeling existed between the
employer and the employed-both SEEM
ing to be unwilling to sever the ties of
friendship even for a brief period. A
splendid lunch was now in order, and
those who prepared it were most lavish
in getting up all the good things that
could be thought of, and to which those
present did ample justice. About an
hour was consumed in eating, drinking,
toasts and songs. and adeal of merriment
WAS had during that time. The music
was again brought iuto requisition, and
dancing was kept up until 2 o'clock in
the morning, Shen the party broke up.
all taking III affectionate leave of Capt.
Drake. We were highly delighted with
the party, and give dne notice that we
are always on hand for such enjoyable

LECTURE ON THE SCHOOL CUES
ION

A4ON
Rev. George B. Allen delivered a lee
ture ON the School Question last Monday
evening in the Episcopal Church, which
Was crowded. Mr.. Allen is an Episcopal
minister. and has resided a number of
years at Carson, Nevada. He is very lib
eral in all his view and takes great in
terest in our public schools. Although
an Episcopal clergyman, he advocates the
exclusion of the Bible from the public
schools upon the broad grounds that, as
every property-holder, irrespective of his
religious predictions, is taxed for their
support, the public schools should be re-
garded as the property of all-places
where Jew and Gentle may meet upon
an equal basis, unhampered and unpre-
JUDGED by any creeds or religious tenets.
de IS also unalterably opposed to any
division of the State school funds. and
thinks the present laws in regard to the
conduct of the schools cannot be i'm
proved upon. He advocates an amend
mentto the State Constitution forever pro-
hibiting any division of the School Fund.
He raj listened to with great interest, a
large majority of his hearers being fully
in accord with his sentiments. Mr.. AL
len left on Tuesday for Phoebe. where he
will remain a week OF ten days, and will
then return to this place and give another
lecture.

BAD ROADS. The roads between this
place and Eureka, and also to Phoebe.
are now in very bad condition, and it is
impossible for the stages to make sched-
ule time. This is all owing to the recent
warm weather, which has made the snow
so soft, in places, that it is all the horses
can do to wade through it.
PRoPosALs.-By advertisement in an
other column it will be seen that County
Treasurer Pardy invites sealed proposals
for the redemption of White Pine County
Bonds, for the sum of one thousand dol
lars or more. Said proposals will be
opened at his Office on the 28th day of
March next, at 10 o'clock.

knowing of the present whereabouts of
Charles Ell. Turner, who came to the Pa
cifc coast twenty-seven years ago, will
confer a favor by forwarding such infor-
nation as he may possess to Samuel L.
Jones, Gold Hill. Nevada.
RECovERING.-We are pleased to state
that William Maxwell, foreman of the
Eberhardt & Aurora mines on Treasure
Hill, has SO far recovered as to be able to
be out again. He has been sick and con-
fined to his house for nearly a month.
