THE CORNUCOPIA ROAD.

Our Cornucopia correspondent re-
flutes some of the assertions of the ElkO
Post of last Saturdays issue. He has
opportunity of knowing the relative
merits of the routes, and he alleges
that lumber shipped from Elko last
November is stuck on the way. Freight
teams which left Winnemucca heavily
loaded during the heavy storms which
prevailed three or four weeks ago
reached Cornucopia in seven days from
the time they started. Facts of this
character speak volumes in praise of
one route and in condemnation of the
other. That the stage between Elko
and Cornucopia does not make the trip
in fifteen hours, as alleged by the
Post, we have ample proof. Letters
addressed to the SILVER STATE and
bearing the Cornucopla postmark and
date of January "a have been five days
on the way. With mail route from
this point by way of Paradise Valley
the trip could be made in four days less
time, and heavy freight teams make as
good time AS the Elko stage.

The San Francisco Chronicle is un-

Yesterday resolution was passed by
that body expelling the Chronicle re-
porter, and refusing that journal rep
resentative on the floor or in any part
OF the Senate Chamber. The cause of
this action is the personal abuse of its
members by the Chronicle reporters,
one of whom was assaulted short
time ago by member named Wilcox.
Some years ago the Legislature Of Ne
vada adopted similar course with the
Territorial Enterprise. That journal
survived the blow, while the majority
of those by whom it was inflicted have
sunk int obscurity.

A few years ago the State attorney
of a northern county in Vermont,
although man of great legal ability,
was very fond of the bottle. On one
occasion an important criminal case
was called on by the clerk; but the
attorney, with owl-like gravity. kept
his chair, being, in fact, not fairly able
to stand upon his feet.
M. Attorney, is the State ready
to proeeed?" said the Judge.

stammered the lawyer; " the State is
not-in state to try the case to-day;

Gambling in Macao.

THE great game pursued by the Macan-
ese is called "Yat, ye, sam, se''-being
the first four of the Chinese numerals,
one, two, three, four. The counters en-
ployed are small copper coins, called
cash, with square hole in the center.
Near pile of cash is a square metal
plate, each side numbered-one, two,
three, four. On any of these numbers the
gamblers deposit their stakes. When all
is ready the president banker takes a
handful of cash from the heap, and, set
ting it apart, draws the coins one by one
toward him with an ivory stick, repeating
aloud, as he does so: Vat, ye, sam, Sc"
{" "One, two, three, four'), when whatever
remains is the winning number. For in
stance, suppose that in his grasp he picked
up eighty-six; the fours divided into
it would be twenty one times and two re-
naming; consequently two would be the
winning number. Supposing you had
staked dollar, say on number two, an
assistant of the banker would then hand
the winner four dollars (the dollar staked
and three added) less per cent. discount
upon the three dollars won, which dis
count he claims as his share. These
houses are frequented by all classes, high
and low, rich and poor, and cannot but
be considered sources of Generalization

Family Quarrels.

MANY reasons may be assigned for the
frequency OF contention among relatives;
but why should they be so fierce and in
veterate? for fierce and lnveterate they
are. This is the very point and pink of
the proverb. To capture a strong city, to
break the bars of castle, these, Solomon
says, are feats of easier performance than
the reconciliation of offended brothers.
Most observers of human nature seem to
agree in this, that the worst quarreis, the
most desperate in their malignity and the
most difficult to compose, are such as
break out between persons nearly related,
whether the relationship be political, &C.
clesiastical, social, mercantile for "two
of a trade can seldom agree''), or domes-
tic. Perhaps it may be said in explana-
tion of this admitted fact, that in most
cases Of offense there is some measure Of
injustice or unkindness, intentional or un-
intentional; and, naturally enough, it is
harder to bear injustice and unkindness
on the part of those with whom we are
closely associated than on the part of
others. In language very true to human
nature the Psalmist says: cit was not
an enemy that reproached me: then l
could have borne it; neither was it he that
hated me that did magnify himself against
me: then could have hid myself from
him; but it was thou, man, mine equal,
my guide, mine acquaintance. We took
sweet counsel together, and walked unto
the house of God in company" OF
course the unfaithfulness and unkindness
of relatives and friends are felt more than
the unfaithfulness and unkindness of
others. tbs bad enough to have DISC
bcdient and thankless servant; far worse
TO have disobedient and thankless child.
Since such contentious as those referred
to in this proverb are so common, and are
sources of SO much misery, it behooves us
tolguard well against everything calcu-
lated to produce them. Those of lis, for
Instance, who are parents, should beware,
of manifesting any strong partialities and
preferences in the treatment of our chill
dren. Remember what that coat of many
colors cost not only Joseph, who wore it,
but also his father, who gave it, and his

NANELESS.

THERE is name SO sweet, 50 dear,
That could never write it here,
Where careless eyes perchance might see
The name loved one gave to me;
A little name, one simple word,
Soft as the twitter Of bird,
Brooding above her tiny nest;
But oh! it is the dearest, best;
And softly III that name repeat s g..
Until my heart shall cease to beat!
There is little, plaintive song
My heart repeats the whole day long;
/ heard it once at days decline,
Low breath d by lips close pressed to mine.
/ would not that careless ear
Should catch the song love to hear;
So my hearts throbbings come and go
AS to myself breathe it low;
Soul-music holy, glad and deep,
Within my heart OF hearts keep.
There is q heart so warm and true,
And eyes of pure and tender hue;
l know full ell need not fear
What fate may bring, if they are near.
o fond, true faith, on which rest,
And own myself so richly blest!
Oh, faithful friend, for whom l yearn,
And count the hours till they return;
The name, the song. the heart l own,
l keep for thee. and thee alone!
