AMENDMEN EEDED.-The
postal laws allow II pers III sending a
transient paper to write his name on
the margin, but this does not seem
to be generally understood. As often
as once mouth we receive pack
age containing one or more papers
with no possible clue to the friendly
hand sending it. The closest scru-
tiny of the wrapper and contents
fails to convey the remotest hint as
to who sent il or why it was sent.
We think the law ought to be amend
ed so as to compel persons to write
their names on the margin or mark
the article intended for notice.

Bishop Whitaker's School.

The Rono Gazette of Friday last
says: One year ago to day Bishop
Whltaker's School for Girls was
opened for the instruction of Misses
and young ladies. The friends of
education throughout this State saw
with pleasure a needed educational
institution inaugurated with excel
lent prospects. But many true friends
feared that in Nevada a demonina
tional school would meet with MANY
difficulties, and being started under
slight financial embarrassments, that
its future would be thorny path at
best. Their apprehensions we are
pleased to state have been dissiparad
and to-day, owing principally to the
shrewd persevering business manage
ment of Bishop o. w: Whitaker, Ne
vada's only seminary is in prosper
Gus condition, and is gaining friends
and building up an enduring reputa-
tion. We have never visited a semi
nary where the methods of instruc
ton are superior, or where their ap-
plication has been more successful
With our readers we congratulate the
school upon its years work and wish
j. increasing prosperity in the years
to Come. To ensure its suscess, how
ever, the friends of education must
hold up Bishop Whltaker's hands.
The school is now gradually releas-
ing itself from an embarrassing debt.
Seven thousand dollars, with $1O5
interest per month, Is q ute weight
to carry. Why should not some of
our generous and wealthy men of
Nevada gladden. the heart of Bishop
Whitaker, and confer lasting favor
10 the cause of education 10 this State
by opportune gifts of money. etc, to
the School for Girls.
RETURNED.-Dr. Blackwood has
returned here and taken possession
of his old quarters at the Silver

months, during which time he has
Travelled extensively on this coast.
First he went to California, then to
Arizona, and subsequently returned

the foundation Of anticipated fortune
in that auriferous region. He show

DIscRIMINATION.-Says the Carson
TribuDe: "Moore & Parker have
proven that their coal mine in Exc
county is IA meritoriou one. and have
been offered contract for large guam
tines at SIS per ton. They applied
Ia the Managers Of the Central Pa
cific for rates Of transportation from
there and received for answer that
$24 per ton is tie lowest figure. 1t
seems that the co,npahy haul coal
from Evanston, few miles beyond
CrliR, to San Francisco for 81 per
ton. Now the question is, why this
discrimination! Messrs. Moore &
Parker have expended their all in the
development ot the coal mine, and it
is nothing more than just that they
should have an opportunity Of bring
ing their coal to market" This is
not the first instance in which the
Central Pacific folks have ruined per-
sons and firms by malicious discrimi-
nation; their victims are numerous,
and outrages of this character will
not cease until they are restrained by
law.

Keeping Stock Clean.

1t ought to be the duty of the stockman to
see that all cattle tina. are kept constantly
tied up should receive thorough brushing
daily. Stock that are accustomed to have
their heads tied get very dirty about the
neck and shoulders unless they receive a
careful ''grooming.' Cleanliness is very es
sential for cattle always under cover, not
only because disease is thereby prevented
from making its inroads, but also because
stock thrive better, and reach maturity q
great deal quicker, when carefully tended,
than when they are not. Cattle kept in
uuire so much attention as those whose heads
are tied to the stall, as they can with free
dom lick themselves, but they should not be
neglected on rat account; and the careful
stock farmer will do we'll to see that his
stockman gives them proper attention. 1t
frequently happens, however, that cattle do
become very dirty about the body-whether
from neglect, or Il natural predisposition to
get dirty, it is unnecessary to consider. In
such cases, good remedy is to apply to the
effected parts mixture of fish oil and flour
of sulphur, in the proportion of four ounces
Of sulphur to quart of oil. This mixture
should be vigorously rubbed into the body,
and about three days afGer this has been
done, the affected parts must receive good
washing with soft soap and warm water.
The oil and sulphur may be applied once
more in the same manner as before, the mix
ture being made little stronger should
there be an observable improvement from
the first washing. This mixture applied
twice generally suffices to effect complete
cure of the ailment. London Liue STOCK

rHE OLD DEAcoN,s LAMENT.


by MRS. E. T. CORRECT.
Yes. I've been deacon OF, our church
Nigh on to fifty year,
Walked in the way Of dooty, too.
And kept my conscience clear.
I've watch ed the children CROWN up,
Seen brown locks turnin gray,
But never saw such doin's yet
As those I've seen to day.
This church was built of cody men
To glorify the Lord,
In seventeen hundred lightweight;
Folks couldn't then afford
Carpets and cushions and sech like
The seats were Just plain wood,
Too narrer for the sleepy ones;
In prayer We allus stood.
And when the hymns were given out.
] tell you it was grand
To hear our leaders start the tunes,
With tunin' fork in hand!
Then good old China "Mears." and all,
Were heard on Sabbath-days,
And men and women, boys and girls.
Jined in the song OF praise.
But that old pulpit was my pride
Just eight feet from the ground
They reared it upon either side
A narrer stait went down;
The front and eends were neatly carved
WithScripture stories all
Findin' OF Noses Jacobs dream,
And sinful Adams fall.
Just room inside to put cheer.
The Bible on the leege
G'll own did get narvous when
He showed it to the edge).
There week by week, the parson stood,
The Scripture to expound;
There, man and boy, I've sot below,
And not a fault was found.
OF course. I've seen great changes made,
And fought ag inst 'em. too;
But first q choir was interdooced
And carpet in each pew;
Next. boughten carpet for the floor.
And then, that very year.
We got our new melodeon
And the big chandyleer.
Well, well! tried to keep things straight
And went to every meetin',
And voted mo" to all they said,
But found my infu'nce fleetin'.
At last the worst misfortin' fell
must blame Deacon Brown;
He helped the young folks when they said
The pulpit should come down.
They laughed at all those pious scenes
I'd found so edifyln';
Said, when the parson rose to preach
He looked Almost like flynn:
Said that ''Elijah's chariot
Jest halfway up had tarried;'
And Deacon Brown sot by and laughed,
And so the pint was carried.
This was last week. The carpenters
Have nearly made an end
Excuse my feelin's. Seems to me
AS eff I'd lost a friend.
ut made their necks ache, lookin' up"
Was what the folks did say,
More lookin' up would help us all
In this degin' rate day.
The church won't never seem the same
G'm half afeared) to me,
Under the preachin of the truth
I've been SO used to be.
And now-to see our parson stand
Like any common man.
With Jest railin round his desk
don't believe csn.

PUMPKIN PIES.


I've tried the best
In East and West.
I've lunched meath tropic sun,
I've tested all
The frnits that fall lse
And like them every one;
But North or South
No human mouth,
will the world apprise,
Fer tasted food
One-half SO good
AS our own pumpkin pies,
Upon tie vine,
In rain or shine.
Through fragrant day and night.
The yellow globe
In emerald robe l
Drinks up the Summer light,
Oh, golden sweet,
The suns repeat
To mould thy lucious size.
g That we may come
And roll thee home,
And make our pumpkin pies.
Our lovely girls.
With shining curls
Put neatly in cap,
Cut slice on slice
isiH And peel it nice. s e}@i
-. And stew it to pap; es
Then milk is had, -
And eggs they add.
And sweeten as is wise,
f. While others haste
To spice to taste r.. e.
These home made pumpkin pies.
Oh, pure and fair.
This food SO rare,
Made up Of all that's best!
No creatures pain
Goes to it's gain,
But only natures zest;
For summer days
And Autumn haze
And smiles from beauty's eyes
Are in the dish,
Mixed to our wish,
That we call pumpkin pies.
fa0 No wonder then,
That loyal men
From Florida to Maine,
Their quarter eat,
The same repeat,
And pass their plate again;
That exiles fret
With vain regret,
And vex the air with signs,
When forced to stay
In cliines away s,
From their own pumpkin pies.
So to our boast sl.a F7fttEi
give a toast, esi
Embroidered all in rhyme;
May pumpkins round
With us abound
Through future Autumn-tiine
And may our girls, as
With shining curls
And tender beaming eyes.
All learn by heart
The happy art ' H{ss
Ofmaking pumpkin pies! i 5ssssf
