ed Mr.. Hayes to take atrip in the fruit
growers steamboat, the Mary WASH
ington, saying: "Friend Hayes, have
a word to say. The Mary Washington,
was built by the fruit-growers mainly,
As it is a temperance boat, and thou
art, I see, warm supporter Of that
further inducement to accompany us,
if that fact were known" "Oh!"
blandly replied the President, smilingly,
s'Mrs. Hayes has that matter in
charge"
Matches, a famous Piute chieftain Of
Nevada, was persuaded by the whites
to embark in agriculture. He has got
a good farm started near Wlnnemucca,
but the other day, while Matches was at
work on an irrigating ditch, some Cau-
two sacks Of barley, one sack Of wheat,
about forty pounds of bacon, nearly two
sacks of -four, lot of sugar and coffee,
two shovels, RATA, and hackamore.
A Winnemucca paper says that shonld
he discover the thieves, and the author
tiles give him permission to deal with
them, their punishment will not cost
the country cent.
This is the way Parson Nasty pleads
the cause Of the ''prostrate South:';
1.-The south wants nussin, and won't be
passified without it. How are we
goin to enter upon a career of prosper
ity onless the government furnishes the
means? We are high-spirited but an
impoverisht people, and want to be
cared for. The war took away our
labor, and left us helplis. Go into
Bascom's any day. or mite and you will
see ther a hundred helpless men, whose
fields are untitled and all Nv EN- groain
over the condishn Nv things. Our rail
roads are not built, our slack-watrin
amt done, and everything is at stand
still. The niggers wich wuz wunst
ourn, are labrin for themselves, and
spending their earnnins OH themselves.
they are prosperous. We, the sooperior
class, are the ones wich must hev
the foosterin keer NV a paternal and
maternal government. Let
the government do this for
us, and ther will be peece. Deny us
these modrit rekests and there will
continyoo to be that sullen feelin
wich alluz exists is a proud tho conker-
ed people. May the yooserper and his
senit be wise.

the following effect: An iron bridge
fell under peculiar distressing circum-
stances, and the disaster was attended
with considerable loss of life. An en-
gineer who had examined the ruin,
measured some of the more important
members and calculated their strength,
remarked in conversation with the be-
wildered contractor that the bridge
ought to have failed. ''How do you
know?" asked the builder. Because"
replied the engineer, sit wasn't strong
enough" and he handed the builder
the paper on which he had calculated
the strength of the members in its re-
lation to the strains upon them. The
builder looked at it in puzzled sort of
way, and remarked that he would be
much obliged if the engineer would
step into his Office and show his book
keeper how to make that calculation.
He didn't believe his bookkeeper knew
how, and it might come handy some
time to be able to do it. Considering
the growing frequency Of disasters on
bridges, and in houses insecurely built,
how can one doubt that ignorant, un-
scientific builders are taking more lives
than we can afford to sacrifice to their
greed?
