cuser and sundry parties connected
with or privy TO tho circumstances
surrounding the affair. Mrs. and Miss

f~iciaries and are now relied upon to
testify against bin, are willing to give
their evidence provided no inquiry is
made as to their past lives; concerning
which they stIcnuously object 10 being

~sociation contend that justice to all
parties will demand tina that subject
be inquired into. 1t is not ye, decid.
ed whether the inquiry will he public

likely to come before the grand jury.

Grandma told me all abont IL,

How she danced-mv grandma dancsd!-

How she held her pretty mead,
How her dainty skirt she spread,
How she turned hsr little tocs-
Smiling little human rose!-
Grnndma's hair was bright and sunny;
Dimpled cheeks, too-ah, how funny!
Really quito a pretty girl.
Bless her! why, sho wears a cap,
Grandma does. and takes a nap
Every single day; and yet
Grandma danced the minu-t
Long ngo.
Vow sho sits there, rocking. rocking,
Always knitting grand pas stocking
Every girl was taught to knit
Long ago..
Yet hor figure is 50 neat
And her way so staid and sw cot,
] can almost see her now
bending to her partners bow,
Long ago.
Grandma says our modern jumping,
Hopping, rushing. wtirling. humping,
Would havs shocked tho gentle folk
Long ago.
No-tn~y moved with stately grace,
Everything in proper place.
Gliding slowly forward, then
Slowly courtscying back again,
Long ago.
Modern ways are quite alarming,
Grandma SAYS; but boys were charming
Girls and boys, l mean, OF course

Bravcly modest, grnndiy shy

Just to feel like those who met
In tho graceful minuet.

Who could fly into a passion?
All would wear the calm they wore

A CALIFORNIA OPINION.

The alta California gives Nevada a
happy send-off for the new year. 1t
says:
Our neighbor State of Nevada is now
in the full tide of legislative progress.
Her wise lawmakers have assembled
and organized. The House of Assem-
bly, has wisely selected an editor to
preside V its sessions and keep its
too risky members under the health
ful restraints of an EDITORS gavel.
There need be no doubt that Harry
Mighels, Speaker, will see that the
columns of the Assembly are prop
erly displayed, double loaded, and ev-
cry good point fully ~italicizsd. Our
little neighbor over the mountains
makes q handsome show in some re-
spects. One year ago its public debt
was six hundred and sixty thousand
dollars. During the year that debt
was reduced u hundred thousand
dollars. 1t was in debt at the con
mefcement of the present year only
five hundred and sixty thousand; some
difference between that and some other
Eastern and Western States. New
York, for instance, indebted a hundred
millions or more; Obi :, forty. five mil
lions; even Massachusetts, reck oniug
her Indebtedness by many millions.
The Governor makes a number of SEN
sible recommendations: to collect tax
on the net proceeds of the mines by
summary process; raise the rate of
taxation for the purpose of paying Off
the debt; to change the State Prison at
Carson into an Insane Asylum; the
completion of tho new State Prison at
Reno; recommends a State Reforma-
tory for the purpose of REFRESHING
hoodlumism; to change term of county
officers from two to four years; and
several other changes which it seems
would be for the betler. That the Gov
ernor should congratulate the two
Houses and the people upon the good
financial condition of the State seems
quite natural. For n young State, with
small population, the showing is very
satisfactory.
The Alta is a little off in its details.
The debt of the State is only $500, 900,
and it has been reduced in two years
$4,000. The showing is even better
than the Alta credits us with.

ground. TtQ loss of officers "a I'M
precedented in war. Over one. halt OF
the commissioned officers fell. Sir E.
Pakenham was killed and every gen
eral officer was either killed or wound
ed. A few days after the British EN-
parked.
The news Of the treaty Of Client,
signed December "a, 1914, had, Of
course, not reached New Orleans at
the time of the engagement. But the
victory was Ivy no means barren. The
Il realty Of Client had expressly excluded
all consideration of the Louisiana pur-
chase, and for some years England
still held that we had no title to the
territory west Of the Mississippi. Had
they been successful at New Orleans
they wonld, beyond doubt, have re-
tanned possession, or have been dis.
possessed only after another bloody
struggle. The action, moreover, for
the first time established beyond cavii
the superiority of the rifle 10 the old
"Brown Bess," as an offensive weapon.
And, finally, the battle of New Or
leans made known to the world a hero
and a patriot, and gave to the United
States one of its ablest Chief Magis-
trates. Even if our citizens should
take no public action to do honor to
the day and its immortal hero, we
know that many a patriotic heart will
beat warmly TO morrow in recalling
the victory at New Orleans and the
memory of Andrew Jackson.

PEN n SCISSOisS.

The Silrer State says: Old Battle
Mountain has at last got another foot
hold as n mining camp. A very fine
copper ledge has been found, which
has passed into the hands ola company
known as the Cornwall Com pany,"
and the mine will be worked on a large
scale. A commodious hotel is now
building, and Charley Fraser, one of
our most enterprs ng citizens, has
stages on the line. AT Lewis District,
the Star mine has struck a large BODY
OF ore and the ledge is n wv about sew
On feet wide, with ore assaying and
working from 5000 to $1,000 per ton.
About $l4, 900 worth of ore is now on
the dump awaiting shipment. We un-
derstand that tho owners intend to in
crease the working force as fast as pos
sible. The property has passed into
the hands of men who are practical
miners and who have an abundance of
capital to work it.
The Reno Journal gives the follow.
ing o Of the Inauguration of an
important enterprise: Some time since
we announced that a drive OF a mil
AAAah ACCt VI SItANtO OCk nal Ottl
placed in the river up near Verdi.
Ever since that time the loggers have
been patiently bringing 1t down, over
ROCKS and through shallow water, un-
til at last 1t has put in It's appearance
at Reno. The river is swarIned with
the timbers. A boom has been put
across the river to prevent any from
passing away. All OF 1t Is to be fiShed
out, loaded on cars and taken to Vir.
ginia. The Truckee is at its lowest
now, and it stands to reason that if
rafting timber is profitable now it will
ba more SO when the river is higher.
This promises to be an important in-
dustry.
The Virginia Chronicle SAYS: This
morning about 3 o'clock d man went

1t is evident now that a dual govern

THE GLORIOUS EIGHTH.

Tomorrow will be the %anniversay of
the battle of New Orleans. In San
Francisco and in the popu lous cities of
the East tho day will he generally eel
ebrated; but WI have not heard of any
movement in Eureka looking to a suit
able commemoration Of an event fruit
ful of glory and substantial benefit to
II country, and which of itself marks
an epoch in the history OF war.
1t is many years since we have seen
a fair account of this memorable fight;
and perhaps a brief resume of the de-
tails ana of the effects of the victory
may not be devoid of interest to our
readers.
The landing of the British COM
menced about the middle of Deem
ber, 1914. By the close of the year
their forces numbered $4,000 effective
men, veterans who had fought under
Sir John Moore and Wellington
throughout the Spanish peninsula
war, who had been encountered by
the renowned legions of the great Ma
poleon, and who had never met the
enemy but to conquer. Sir E. PAX
enham was the commander-in- chief.
In the meanwhile General Jackson
had collected a force Of about 1000
men, composed almost entirely Of
back.woods militia. He had intrenched
himself about four miles from the city.
His parapet was composed Of cotton
bales and the glacis was faced with the
slimy mud of the Mississippi bottom.
Several skirmishes had been fought
without any result other than to &C.
custom our unframed troops to action.
The British, anticipating an easy vic
tory, formed their columns for a final
assault ON the night of the 7th of Jan.
uary. At daylight on the Sth, with
drums beating and banners displayed,
and with the deep British cheer that
had SO often heralded victory on the
bloodiest fields OF Spain, they advanced
to the attack. But bohind those cot.
ton bales there lay a foe unmatched in
native courage, armed with a weapon
till then almost unknown in war, the
terrible kentucky rifle. Well did the
British that day maintain their
well earned reputation. Three times
they attempted the American line but
each time they were repulsed with
fearful loss. The unerring rifle did
its work effectually. In a few hours
the British retired from the field leav-
Ing 1000 killed and wounded on the
