Keeping House.

"What kind of house will we pIay?" asked
one little girl of another. "Oh, play calling,
replied the other. ''Mary, here, she can be
Mrs. Brown and sit on the step, and me and
Julia will call on her and ask her how sheis, and
how her husband is, and if the baby's got
over the measles, and tell her how nice she
looks in her new wapper, and hope it won't
hurt her much when she has that tooth filled
And then We'll say, Good bye, Mrs. Brown,
come and see us some time or other, and
bring the children and your sewing; and
you're such stranger, we don't see half
enough of you. And then me and Julia we'll
courtesy and walk off = piece, and I'll say to
Julia, Did you ever see such a horried old
fright as she looks in that wrapper?' And
then Julia she'll say, The idea of anybody
having false teeth tilled!' And then I'll say,
Yes, and what homely lot of little brats
unem young ones of her'n is Let's play it !;
what do you say?"

Inverted soldiers.

A regiment quartered at certain town in
Scotland had among them an expert gymnast.
who taught his brother subalterns how to
walk across the barrack-room on their hands.
While engaged one evening the door opened
and the Colonel, stern disciplinarian, enter
ed the room, looked attentively at the inver-
ted company, shook his head gravely and de-
parted withot uttering word. An order to
be on parade next morning was the least pun
ishment expected for this breach of discip-
line. Some days passed, however, and no
notice being taken, it was thought an apology
and explanation should be offered by the prime
instigator of these unsoldierly movements. A
reference being made to the memorable night
the Colonel amazed the intended apologist by
exclaiming: "Hush, Sergeant l would not
have anybody know it for the world! The fact
is, had been dining out with an old brother
officer who had served we me in India, and
'pon my life had no idea the wine could
have had such an effect upon me, but when l
came to see if you were all right in you quar-
ters could have sworn that I saw you all
upside down.

She Knew His Whistle

That was touching incident, last week,
al the death-bed of Mrs. Gaylord. Her hus-
band is an engineer on the Cincinnati road.
and upon reaching Richmond found a dis
patch announcing the failing strength Of his
wife. The difficulty among the railroads
made it impossible for him to get off, A
second dispatch arrived saying that she was
sinking fast. 1t was then that he decided to
run a locomotive to Dayton. The dying wife,
whose ears were fast closing to all earthly
sounds, listened for the familiar whistle she
knew he always gave as the signal of ap-
proach. The hours flew fast, and the sands
of life were running very swiftly; still she
could not 60 without saying farewell to him.
At nightfall, when the sun had set over her
last day on earth, when the chill of death
creeping over her and the pulses failing, her
ear caught the sound of his coming. She
alone heard it, and she said: ''Will is coming;
that is his whistle" And he reached the
bedside in time to receive her dying message
of farewell. Richmond Independent

Speaking at vegetable banquet at Leeds,
in England, the other day, the Rev. G. Il.
Collyns said he was descended from long
line of gouty ancestors. He had been a suf-
ferer from gout, but having, more than ten
years ago, become total abstainer, and hav-
ing, not long after ward, become vegetarian.
he had gradually driven the gout out, and
could give no other reason for it except pure
and wholesome living-total abstinence from
alcoholic liquors and from flesh meat. The
teeth of man showed that he was not car
niverous, but frugiverous animal, and the
stomach, he contended, also showed that it
was intended not to receive flesh, but the
fruits of the earth. He would not 60 back to
his former mode of life for anything that
could be given to him. Vegetarian diet agreed
with the delicate as well as the robust. 1t
was wholesome and enjoyable, and to it he
owed q new lease of life.

A Western WOman'S Daring.
From the San Francisto (Cal.) Bee.

From the San Francsto (Cal.) Bee.
Some few days ago, as the Freeport ferry
was taking load of passengers across the
river, and when about half way over, the
rope which is attached to the bank, and by
means of which the boat is towed, broke.
CONSERVATION reigned among the passengers;
none of the men could swim; the boat was
drifting down; there was nothing on board
by which it could be padded or its move
ments directed. For few seconds silence
and inactivity reigned; then strong and
healthy looking Canadian woman, seeing
that the men could do nothing, proceeded
calmly to take off her shoes and stockings.
Modesty forbade the removal of much more,
and, arrayed as heavily as Horatius Coolies
was when the bridge fell and he jumped into
the yellow Tiber with his harness on his
back, she caught rope in her tech, plunged
into the muddy current, and swan for shore
There were no exultant Romans on the bank
to greet her with loud plaudits, but the sud-
denly cheerful faces of the ''lords of creation"
on the boat were beaming on her with eyes
of admiration. She reached the bank, tied
the rope to a strong taee, and the men hauled
the boat ashore.

FORGOTTEN.

Forgotten As mingle with the crowd,
And mark the unchanging smile on every face
Mine eyes grow dim mine unblest head is bowed
am not known, and strangers fill my place.
In Youthful days, when hope was fair and young
And wide Ambition made the world its throne,
Friends sisters, parents, fondly to me clung-
But now am forgotten and alone.
Yet in the world of wealth and commerce, men
Look up to me as into judgments eye
Others Overwhelm me with their pray'rs and Wnen
give them gold, 'How good is he" they cry.
Some would be friends, and, bending, geek my gates
Others, with envy breathing, curse my name;
With gloom, dark burden on my spirit Walts
And tears are dropped DER loveless, unshared tame
The epOt WhereOn our cottage stood ls now
grassy mound, beneath whose sods there Sleep
She whose soft hand could cool my tevered DrOW,
And he my father proud-alas, weep!
NV sisters and companions, they have found
In distant places some fond heart to share
Their happy homes, wherein each joyous sound
Swells through the heart like songs on Summer alr
think on this my destiny, and own
That when had my peace priced it not;
And what reap have not also sown
Through years OF silence? Thus am forgot!
Misguided YOUTH thou soughtest that which gives,
Like rooms long tenantless, an icy chill
Unto the heart, which ever after lives
Dissatisfed-a void that naught can fill.
And afterward the joys may come or 60
Like lamps before an empty shrine they fit;
AS when a day i'll spent fades out just so
Fades out Lies charm. if gold hath woven It,

Electric Light i'm Naval Warfare.

The London Times has the following:
San officer with the fleet in Besika Bay,
writing on the 18th of July to friend in
Cork, says: we were practicing with the
electric light last night. With its aid you
could examine ship from stem to stern;
even the smallest craft is within reach of its
powerful light, everything under the influence
of it's intense brightness standing out as clear
and we'll defined as at midday. No doubt it
will be invaluable in naval warfare in detect
ing the approach OF an enemy under cover of
night who might be desirous of attempting
surprise, or testing the efficacy of his torpe-
does on our ironciads. A general belief pre-
walls throughout the fleet that we shall be ac
tive participators in the sso-Turkish quar-
rel before long,"

A Black Hills Cave.

About three miles above Crook City, on
the Whitewood Creek, has been discovered
very singular cave. 1t is situated on the
northwest side of the creek, about 300 feet
above the bed of the stream. 1t opens into
hill of limestone formation 50 feet high.
The entrance to the cave is 20 feet wide by
10 feet high The first chamber is about Is
feet in length, and extends little west of
north Then you enter another chamber
about 200 feet in length, running almost di-
rect]y northeast This second chamber is
about 80 feet wide and 10 feet high. Next
you enter upon an incline floor extending
down through room feet wide, 40 feet
high and Is feet in length. AS you leave
this singular chamber you turn into small
opening q by 8 feet, crawling on your hands
and knees until it gradually enlarges to cell
ing Is feet high. The atmosphere of the
cave is not 1isagreeable 1t is necessary to
take flambeau. as the cave is utterly dark.
The wall and ceiling are thickly feetooned
with calcarious spar, and the outward coat
ing of lime, but beneath this coating is the
clear crystalized spar.-Deadaoood Times.

Army Increase.

authorities are maturing plan for increasing
the regular army to $4,000 men, and it is
stated that army officers of long experience
are of the opinion that an army of $4,000,
located where they would do the most good,
would cost no more than an army of 25, 900,
including the enormous expense of the con-
slant transportation OF such small force.
This is presumed to be an exaggeration, but it
is stated that Gen. Mcclellan has prepared
an article, which will soon appear in lead
ing magazine, in which he endeavors to DEM
onstrate by means of statistics that sum
greater than the expense of an increased mil
itary establishment has been paid annually
for the transportation of men and military
stores

Cardinal Manning On Intempcrance

Cardinal manning, writing to friend in
Dublin on intemperance, says: "Half the
misery of homes arising from bad temper,
sloth, squandering, selfshness, debt, neglect
of all duty, is caused by indulgence in wine
and the like. The sure and best cure of this
is to bring up children in simple habits, and
to guard them against acquiring the liking
for intoxicating drinks. When liking for
the taste is acquired the temptation is at once
in existence Common sense as well as faith
says, Train up children not to know the
taste, and they will not be tempted urge
this on parents whenever can, and have
before me many happy homes in which chill
dren have grown up without so much as hav-
ing ever tasted anything but water

civil service schemes which will be forma lily
presented to Congress in bill is one which
embodies these principles:
l. A fair apportionment OF all civil offices
not otherwise provided for by the Constitu-
ton and laws among the Congressional dis
tricts of the several States.
2. Open local and competitive examina-
tions to fill vacancies, to be held in the dis
tricts, the quotas of which are not full.
3. Careful regulations to secure the exam
ination of none but worthy and competent
persons.
4. The appointment of commissioner to
supervise and enforce the regulations govern
ing appointments to the civil service.

Lebanon Standard: The Lindsey and
Smothers families of this county seem to
have a high regard for one another, as will
appear from the following record: Hiram
Lindsey married Dosia Smothers; John Lind
sey married Harriet Smothers; Sarah NJ.
Lindsey was given in marriage to Thomas
Smothers; William Lindsey espoused Sarah
Smothers. and after the death of the latter,
married Hettie Smothers; Ellen Lindsey was

from the San Francisco POst.]

A GREAT temperance revival is at present
at work in the city of Toronto, Ont. Five
out of twenty-five columns of the leading
journals are given up to the great reform
which is taking place. One correspondent,
quoting DR.. Samuel Wilks, of Gray's Hos
pital, England, makes the true, but not uni
versally acknowledged, statement that alco-
hol, as usually taken, is not stimulant at all;
it is depressant and narcotic. A general
knowledge of this fact, the writer thinks,
would make people more cautious in its use.

The popularity of the fly is that he always
returns to the same spot; but it is the char.
acteristic of the mosquito that he always re-
turns to another spot. Thus he differs from
the leopard, which does not change its spots.

THE LABOR QUESTION ON THE
90 MSTOCK.

The labor question on the Comstock
II assuming = serious aspect. In our
dispatches this morning will be found
the particulars of some exciting scenes
enacted in Virginia City yesterday
morning. 1t appears that there is a
covert design OF the part Of the mill
and mine managers to reduce wages
to three dollars per day. This has not
90 far been openly attempted. but in
one instance, at least, an effort has
been made to accomplish that end by
indirect means. The Miners Union,
learning of the facts, have taken the
matter in hand, and fears are enter
tained that q serious rio, may be the
result. A crowd of excited men yes
terday made a raid on the instigator of
the three dollars q day programme,
and he was compelled to flee for his
life. At latest accounts he was making
down Seven mile canyon closely fol
lowed by a posse of miners, who
threatened the direst consequences in
the event that they should capture
him. Other demonstrations by labor
ers are announced to take place, and,
all in all, the outlook on the Comstock
seems to be Of the gravest character.
We dou't look for q resort TO violence
on the part OF the intelligent, orderly
men composing the Miners Union,
but the labor market is SO fearfully
overstocked and there are SO many dis
solute and desperate characters who
are ever ready ~ participate in any
demonstration that gives promise of
placing them prominently in the front
rank of the advocates of high wages,
that it is hard to tell where the trouble
might end 1t once inau gurated. The
Sau Francisco Chronicle for five
months has been advocating a ma
terial reduction in all mining Ok
penses. The great break in stocks en-
sued and now we are told that, in con
sequence of the hard times, many
mines are to be shut down, others are
to reduce their working force and sl
must practice a system of the most
rigid economy. 1t strikes us that
there Is something significant in these
circumstances and conditions. They
may not mean a deep laid scheme for
the reduction of wages, but all of
tho Indications certainly Doint very
strongly in that direction. We shall
await further developments as regards
the labor question in Storey county
with no little interest.
