| had a glimpse of this wonder
ful woman in the Supreme Court
rooms two weeks ago. Then, enter
tering Mrs. Sewell's parlors, / again
encountered the lady making her
round of calls in tasteful cos
tune which diminished the look Of
age amazingly. Its color was vio-
let, with pale lavender pipings, and
it seemed impossible that seventy
years could have passed before those
wonderful eyes. ! say wonderful,
and | mean it, for they are still very
beautiful. The great brown iris is
just trimmed at the edge with the
faintest line of gray, and the pupil
looks like what it really is, only a
portal for sunbeams to enter, for
Mrs. Gaines has no fancy for the
dark side Of life, no disposition to
tarry in shadow. No one ever sees
her without a bonnet, and | am
compelled to admit that the fluffy
crimps which show in front and the
coil at the back of the head don't
seem to be indigenous to the scalp
of the wearer; but what if they
amt? There are precious few Of
us who don't wear false hair in some
shape, and if Mrs. Gaines chooses a
wig it is merely a matter of taste.
Yesterday / had long chat with
her. She glories in fighting what
she terms her "great moral battle"
declares she might long ago have
won her claim had she been will
ing to tamper with justice, and
her hatred Of Mr.. Cushing is
something amusing in its energetic
expression. "Ah,' said Judge E.,
"Mr. Gushing may be made Chief
Justice yet; then you can marry him
and have things all your own way!'
| wish you could have seen her
supreme scorn when she repelled
the idea, For forty-four years she
had been before the courts; beaten
back, she only drew breath and
came again; every legal quibble is
familiar to her, and she AYERS that
she is better prepared now to assert
her rights for forty years more
than when she entered upon the
contest. She is thoroughly familiar
with Washington life and utterly
out of patience with its follies.
"Do you know what / shall do
some day?p she asked. Pm CON-
ling to Washington, and Pm going
to build a great hotel for Congress-
men. 1t shall be SO large that
every man may have room for his
family about him, and it shall be
conducted so economically that
every man can afford to enjoy its
cOnveniences; then / know the
members will behave q great deal
better" That life may close for
her before she achieves her purpose
never seems to enter her thought.
| No one can be more entertaining
than Mrs. Gaines, for she has been
the personal friend'of SO many dis
tingpished people that her fund Of
anecdotesi is exhaustless.

While he was speaking DR.. Potts
discovered a fine wire running from
the crank to the cellar, and hidden
by the machinery. jerks turned
white, and stammered out:
"This is painful, gentlemen, very
painful. But the fact is III

thought-Ethat is, Lob, hang

And jerks darted through the
door and left town. He didn't sell

ahead, if he were a sensible man;
and would there be anything wrong
about it?

Manchester (Rng.l Examiner.l
A poisoning case, which has oe-
cupied the Perigueux Court a fort
night, and been the subject of con-
versation in the French provinces
for upward Of year, has terminated
in the acquittal of two cut of three
Of the prisoners. The charge was
that Garrigues, respectable small
farmer, after running himself by
making gentleman Of his son, who
took a medical degree in Paris, was
poisoned by arsenic by the son who
had an interest in stopping an ali
mentary pension of 900 francs q
year for the support of his father
1t was alleged that his son con-
spired with his mother and a SER
want named Issier, her reputed par
amour. DR.. Garrigues was four
teen months in prison, and repeat
edly questioned with that entrap-
ping ingenuity familiar to French
prosecutors; and the theory of pub
lie rumor was entirely adopted by
the Judge Advocate and the Presi-
dent, that, because he was a doctor,
he must have furnished his mother
with the arsenic that poisoned his
father. The verdict acquits the
doctor and the servant, and finds
the wife guilty of poisoning not
with arsenic but with vitriol. Ex-
tenuating circumstances, meaning
the repugnance of the jury to gull
lotine woman, being found, she
was sentenced to penal servitude
for life.

CHANDLEksS APOLOGY.

The immaculate Zach Chandler,
Grants Secretary of the Interior. and
Chairman of the National Republican
COMMITTEES. has issued an apology for
the October elections. His party
claimed that OHIO would go Repabi
eau at the state election by Az 900 ma.
jsrity, aud that indiana would roll up
e majority of 10000 at the same time.
The result shows Ohio Democratic on
the Congressional vote by l69 majority,
aud Indiana by nearly 10000 on the
same vote, hence Mr.. Chandler apollo
gizes, He endeavors to make il ap-
pear that local causes produced this re-
suit, bnt the fact that the Democrats
have gained in the States which have
voted 50 far this year 225 900 in the
popular vote aud 36 electoral votes
over 1872. he utterly ignores. A con.
tinuance of the same ratio of gain in
all States would elect Governor TIlden
by sn overwhelming majority. As this
is almost certain. Mr.. Chandler will
have occasion to make another apology
next week.

REBEL CLAIMS.

When any one tries to convince you
that tie Democratic party is going to
double the national debt, and break up
the Union by paying Southern claims,
remind him of the fact that the Dem
ocraiic House reported favorahly
claims amounting to only S2l5 ,36l,
and passed claims amounting TO only
S74.4j3. while the Republican Con-
gress which preceded it, reported favor
ably one hundred and five claims.
amounting to 1881. 900 in specific
sums. Tell him that you think that in
the matter of so-calied rebel claims,
the Democratic. party has by far the
bes, record of the two. Tell him also
that Won are not to be fooled so easily
as Z.ck Chandler imasines. aud re-
mind him of Gov. Tllden's pledge to
veto al! claims not made by loyal men.

Lincoln. He ignores all the stealing
and corruption of the Administration,
and is perfectly satisfied with cont'n'
uation of Grantiom with all it's rot
tenness. and cawtions every body Against
voting for change Mr.. Lord, of
course, wants no reforms the Word has

who do act on his suggestion, vote the

BOGUS TICKETS.

Voters look out for bogus tickets on
election day. See that the name of
every candidate that you intend to vote
for Is in the proper place under the
name of the Office for which be is a
candidate on your tiaket. Compare
the names of the candidates and the
offices for which they have been nom.
mated With the ticket published in the
Silver State, and see that they corre-
spond. No man, whether Democrat or
Republican. should be cheated out of
voting for the man of his choice by
bogus tickets. The practice of issuing
them is reprehensible. and should
count against those who resort to such
deceptive means.

Can citizen of the United States
vote for President next Tuesday in
whatever town, county or State, be
may be in on that day The question
has been asked us. with request that
the answer be made public in the Sill.
YER State. The people do not vote
directly for President. and il requires
The same qualifications to vote for Pre-.
sidential electors. who do vote directly
for that officer. AS for any other candi-
dates. In Nevada these qualifications
are, first a citizen of the United States,
second, resident of the State for six
months, and of the county thirty days
next preceding election, and last,
though not least. that his name shall
appear on the registry lists.

VOTE icNiBER.

Next Tuesday the great battle be-
tween the corruptionists in power and
the people will be fought at the ballot
box. Remember that the Democratic
platform pledges the party to suppress
the importation of coolies aud the i'm.
migration of Chinese, and that if Dem
ocratic principles prevail, the Influx of
Cinnamon to the United States will be
efficiently suppressed.
Remember miners that the Demo.
cratic party is on the record in favor
of restoring the silver dollar to the
standard from which 1t was reduced by
Republican trick In the interest of
capitalists; and that the success of the
party means encouragement to mining
and the development of the mineral re-
sources of Nevada, creating q market
for the produces If the farmer and the
goods of the merchant.
Remember this will restore prosper.
'ty TO the State; give an impetus to
mining and prospecting, and attract
capital and bring silver up to its as.
sayed value.
Remember this when you 60 to the
polls, and vote for the men and the
party that are laboring for such desira-
BILE results.
