reward, and like Charity not vaunt itself nor
be pulled up. Possibly true modesty does
not desire to have itself recognized, but con-
tents itself with its own humble ways, blush
ing in secret. A wedding guest who should
ask the company to pause in the midst of
their festivities to look at and admire his or
her new suit would have himself served Just
right If the groom or the groom's father or
the brides big brother were to 60 up to her
and smile sardonical smile right in his face
and request her to subside out of further
sight and hearing. Some such notion as
this repressed an allusion in our issue of yes
terday to our new May day dress of types. Is
it immodest to say that it was our modestyl
| We will not be self-doubting shame-faced
] enough to Justify anyones underestimate of
u.s. We are modest. But are mt we hand
some in our new garments? Mark the clear
face of the Bourgeois; observe the bright
| features of the NOnpareil; examine the ex-
| cellent balance of the column widths; COM
| pare with the eye of an educated critic the
tout ensemble of title line, column lengths and
the measure. 1t is Miller 4 Richards
Scotch-face. There is not any handsomer or
more perfect type making i'll this world than
this which our pages thus exemplify and
parade. Our terms are just the same as ever;
and we are neither proud nor exacting. But |
aren't we lovelyl There is something |
book-Gke and literary, something sooth- !
ing and stately in this width of line which is !
not to be found in the narrower and more
worldly type-column. Besides, the reader
gets more reading matter to the square inch.
A column rule is a necessary evil, tolerated
cOnventlOnlsm. 1t takes up space while seem
ing, by its narrOwness, to be q mere hairs
breadth of demarkation. Yet it usurps the
place of honest letters and spaces and
quadrats and is an intruder upon the more
Legitimate domain of reading matter We
have lessened this fraudulent occupation of
our pages by not inconsiderable per cent.
But with full understanding of the emer-
gencies of these hard times our advertising
rates are not augmented Yesterday morn
ing looked scowlingly at all May day junk
eters. The Pogoniptious cloud on yonder
was black and storn-like But
as the day on it was brighter and more
CHEEKY; and from what the infantry tell us,
the festivities aield were all that any well :
Maydayster need ask for. 1t is
on Friday night, the 4th inst, that Madame
Camilla urso will draw the charmed bow
across the inspired strings of her delightsome
and mi-miraculous violin Again we warn
our esthetical and music glowing friends to
blind their eyes to the hard times and go and
secure to themselves the requisite seats "
We heard a somewhat depraved person of the
male variety declare to some not o er delicate
fellows of his that he had been drunk and in
jail, and that he did not care fg and "let's
Ill go and take drink" We referred that
Tretched man, what time we held him in the
limbo of the mind, to the tender mercies of
Neal Dow and the prayerful reformatory pro-
,esses of the Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes Tenn
,erance Society. Weadvise him and all such as
lie, to deslst from the ruinous habit of wine at
State Dinners ... The man whose heart
vas in the Stocks yesterday was as one with
hope; and none but he who
an enjoy the dismal wall of the hardest times -
hat ever were seen in Nevada can pretend
hat the smiles with which he views the
epOrts of sales of mining shares are anything
ut mOckery, an evasion and a self-deceit. p.

young ladies were as happy as they were
