THE NEW pASSENG CONDUC-
TOR.

A few weeks ago freight conductor
on the Humboldt Division went to Su-
periutendent Coddington and said he
thought he ought to be advanced as he
had served on the freight train for sew
eral years. The Superinten dent ngreed
with him, and told him that the change
would be made the very next week.
Aud it was made. The Superintendent
day or two after took q seat in the rear
end OF one of the coaches to see how the
new conductor would take to business,
and pretty soon the official danced into
the door, cap on his ear, sleeves pushed
up and half-worn smile on his face.
Get out your pssteboardsl" he shout
ed, "I'm the high mucky muck that runs
this train" and then turning right and
left, he continued;
Right bowers this way-play lively
pass or order up-how's trumps with
you-slide your right into Winnemucca
hurry up, there--trump this ace
what kind of hand do you hold, old
MANI"
There was something novsl and e1hil-
srating in this style, but yet the Super
intendent called the conductor upstairs
the next day and told him that he was
the best man in America to run freight
train, and that he should have to pro.
mote him backwards. He was too tai
ented for passenger conductor. That
is the way the railroad boys tell it.-Sil

A Mr.. Groesbeck, at a convention Of
bankers held in New York City q short
time ago, delivered an address upon the
silver question, during which he made
the following remarks in regard to the
dollar of our dads" "Remonetize silver
and the ancient silver dollar will get and
keep abreast of the gold dollar. The
commerce of Europe, we appreciate it,;
the commerce of silver-loving Asia, with
her SOC, 000. GOO of thrifty and industrious
people, let us appreciate that also. 1t is
difficult to over-estimats it, 1t was this
which enriched Alexandria and the cities
of the Mediterranean in their day. 1t
was for this that Portugal sought pas
sage by sea, and having found it, was
enriched as never before or since. 1t is
this that at the present day swells the
wealth of Holland, France, and other
European nations. What were England
without it2 1t is for this mainly that
Russia is wading in blood toward Con-
stantlnople. 1t was in search of a shorter
passage for this commerce that America
was found--tound for us. How grand
our posst ssions! What an opportunity
for National Development What a va
riety and completeness of treasure! Can
it be that it is too much for US, and that
we must waste or depreciats any of it,
or shall We utilize the whole? With gold
for some, silver for others, and teemlng
products for all, be it ours, ere long, to
control the commerce of the world.

A TERRIFIED NEGREss. .-Something
occurred III the Republican building re-
Gently which was decidedly funny, and
which created at first not little excite
ment. A woman entered the hall lead

was open, and stepped in under the i'm
preston, as subsequently appeared, and
1t led to another series of steps. AS she
entered, the elevator boy as a matter of
course, closed the door and started the
elevator. AS be did so, and the concern
began moving upward, be became in an
instant the worst startled boy in all ST.
Louis. That colored woman leaped to
her feet, glared at the walls gliding past,
and, with terrific scream, hurled her
self at the transom over the door. Fail
ing to gst through, she plunged about
the elevator. with every breath emitting
shrieks long enough and loud enough to
wake the Seven sleepers of Ephesus.
The people rushed from the different
floors to the elevator way under the i'm,
preston that a CHASTITY tragedy was
going on in open daylight. People ran
in from the street, to be present at, il
not w prevent, tDe scene OF UlOOu. Ii

frightened elevator.boy had reversed his
conveyance and reached the bottom
again, where he flung open the door with
an alacrity remarkabls-at least in the
elevator boy. The colored woman bound.

Captain Byrne of the police force
made steady pull on Chinatown night
before last. No splurge was made about
it. Everything was conducted so quietly
that four OF those given to opium smok-
ing were arrested. One of these.
young man with sick and broken
hearted mother, was seized before he had
succeeded in treating himself to his GUS
tomsry pipe. and he begged of the cap.
tain to allow him single smoke or he
felt that he would die before morning.
This serves to show what strong root the
habit OF opium smoking has taken among
some of our young people. and to illus
trate the blessings OF encouraging Chi
nese immigration. - Virginia Enter

The San Francisco Chronicle says,
Rev. Hemphill elevates his stentorian
voice in denuncistion of certain local
clergymen who have spoken adversely to
the further encouragement of Chinese
emigration. Chinese competition has
probably not affected his line of busi-

imported who will preach fashionable
sermons for $3.50 year he may sing an

Ireland and Scotland are only separ-

and 125 years ago it was proposed to di-
vert the water from the narrow part OF

join the countries together, when, it was
contended, every objection against that
union would cease. The proposer was
of opinion that 'it might be completed

He did not expect much in the way of
Accommodations at the local hotel, and in
this his anticipations we're more than
realized. He was very hungry, but had
the luck to lose most of his appetite be-
fore he got through with his dinner,
owing to his discovering few blonde

OsCEoLA DISTRICT.-Our local capital
lists and mining men do not seem to at
tsch sufficient Importance to the above
district. Tbs yield of gold from the few
placers being worked is much greater
than the district is credited with. The
men who own and work the placers are
very reticent in regard to their product
and it is only by closely watching the
express office and other channels through
which the gold dust is shipped that we
can obtain any idea of the amount, and
by this means We can only approximate
to the quantity that is monthly produced,
for much of it is retained by the miners
and does not find its way into market.
This state of affairs has obtained for the
reason that the claims as now held are
large, embracing twenty acres to the
man und the present holders fear that if
there should be large influx OF miners
the claims would be cut down to some
thing near the size Of claims in Cal,tor-
Mia in former years. 1t Is estimated by
competent judges that over $50, 600 has
been taken IRON one gulch within the
past Blk months, WORKING an average OF
not over twenty men, aud some of the
l.
cisco, would create great Juror of ex-
citement and cause rush to the gold
fields. The nugget picked up by the
man Darling, while working for ViZan
Il Co., and run into bars by an assayer
of this place, yielded $500. and few
days since there was found on the same
Rulch by Cinnamon, nugget weighing
$500 A dozen or more other nuggets
weighing from twelve to one hundred
and fifty dollars have been taken out by
different parties within the past ten
days.-[W Ward Reflex.
A DECISION OF lNTEREsT TO MINING
LocAToRs. The General Land Office has

missioner Williamson holds that the first
annual expenditure upon claim located
prior to May 10, 1872 should have been
made by the first day of January, 1870.
the second by January l, 1876. Also,
that the first annual expenditure upon a
claim located since May 10 1872, should
have been or must be made within one
year Irom tne uhte VI uiScoNoiy "pu ~
cation, and that the amount required by
local mining laws or regulations to b'
expended, before record of such loca

FASTING There are few bodily all
ments, says Halls Journal, which are
aggravated, and in some cases rendered
incurable by insufficient diet; but with
the exception OF diptheria and few
others, nine out of ten of al, ordinary
ailments are controlled, are arrested or
permanently cured by O wise diminution
OF the amount of food eaten. This is
particularly the case when there is no
decided ailment, but general fesling OF
unwellness. In all actively inhamma-
tory maadies, where there is acute pain
anywhere. total abstinence from all sub.
stantial food, from everything liquid or
solid, except hot tears, is the sheet-an-
chor of safety, when not extended be-
yond 36 hours. No one should venture
on longer abstinence on any occasion
without the advice of physician.

and manager like Colonel B., The Her.
AID, with the strong support of the

Tyler Courier; We read the DALLAS
HERALD with much interest, and though
it has lately lost an able editor, Mr.
Simpson, who has abandoned Journal
