How TO ESCAPE BURGLARS. =
Sheriff Harper tells story of man,
who, keeping considerable money in
his house, was afraid of burglars.
Unlike the majority of people under
like circumstances, he never locked
the doors of his house, but as soon as
night came, threw every door of
the house WIDE open. When ques-
toned as to his reasons for such &C.
ton, he replied that he left the doors
open, in order, that if burglars
should enter the house he would
have a chance to get out Reveille.

LEEDS. - Geo. G.. johnson, of
Phoebe, showed us private letter
from Leeds, written by John Cassidy
in which he refers to that country
in the most encouraging terms. He
says there il not much money in
circulation, but there is an immense
amount of rock in sight, and of a
very high grade. The Pinkum
mine has been sold to Messrs. Lub-
buck and Barbee, and they are ne
gotiating for the purchase OF what
is known as the Barbee property.
The country is puzzle to the SCI
entists, who can make nothing Of
the formation or deposits. 1t is
very evident that the silver has been
deposited at recent period, as it
can be found in pieces of petriiied
wood, coal, and encrusting tie
sandstone. The boys are not both
ering their heads as to how it got
there, and are satisfied with the
fact that there is plenty of rich ore
in sight. Mill facilities are sadly
wanting, as only the highest grade
of ore can be shipped to Salt Lake
or Phoebe. The town of Silver Rect
is the GENTLE settlement, and many
old Piochers are numbered among
its Inhabitants Eureka Sentinel.

The Women.

Movable heels have been invented
for ladies' shoes, so that a belle may
at will proportion her height to that
of the gentleman who happens to be
her beau.
Kate Henderson, one of the contest
ants in a pedestrian match at Lansing,
Michigan, was whipped several times
by her husband to compel her to con-
tinue walking. At length she inform
ed the spectators, and they had the
husband arrested.
Renowned as the Egyptian ladies are
for the richness of their attire, they
would regard it as greatly indecorous
to display on the street the magnifi-
cence of their dress. When they go
about the streets of Cairo on shopping
expeditions they cover themselves with
dismal robes of black. AS a general
rule, whatever they are compelled to
exhibit to the public gaze is simplicity
itself, while what they reserve for PIi-
vate inspection is gorgeous in the ex-
tremc.
Olive Logan has settled down to
home-life in Wales. Mrs. Cady Stan
ton stays quiet, and is not heard from
this winter. Mrs. Livingston Is lee
turing in an obscure way, somewhere.
Anna Dickinson keeps on playing
nights and writing plays daily. Mrs.
Woodruff is yelling around the sad
news she is never to die. Miss An
thony is still clsmorirg for recognition
in the constitution. And this is what
has become of the woman's rights
movement.

troll five colleges at Hampton, Virginia;
Nashville, Atlanta; Berea, Kentucky;
Tongsloo, Mississippi; Talladega, Ala
bama, and New Orleans. The one to
be located at Austin is the first of the
kind this side of the Mississippi river.
The gentleman after whom it IS
named, is Rev. George I. Tillotson,
of Connecticut, one of the fellows of
Yale College, who has set apart por-
ton of his property for this institution.
Eight acres of land east of the city
have been purchased of Messrs. Ray
mond & Whitis, for $4,000, as the site
of the college, and embraces the beau
tiful and commanding emincnce
known as "Watrou's Hill" On &C
count of hard times, there may be
some delay in the erection OF build
ings, but we are assured that it is in
tended at as early dag as practicable
to erect one very fine building, to be
followed by Others IN due time. The
names of the trustees are as follows:
Rev. George ]. Tillotson, of Rocky
Hill, Connecticut; Hon. Alfred S.
Barnes, Brooklyn. New York; Rev.
NJ. E. Strictly, Newark, New Jersey :;
Gen. Clinton B. Fish, New York City
Rev. G. u. Pike, Brooklyn, New York :;
Charles L. Mead, Esq, New York City;
Charles Benedict, Esq, Waterbury, c..
Those resident in Texas are, Hon E.
NJ. Pease, ex-governor, and Rev. E. B.
Wright, D. D., of Austin. The col
ored people are to be congratulated on
having the prospect of such educa-
tional advantages as this institution
will doubtless furnish, and indeed i
is benefit to the whole community to
have such provision made for this class
of our citizens. We believe the trus-
tees have been wise in locating this in
stitution at Austin, and that the best
of our people will give it cordial well
come and bid the enterprise God speed.
