Colonel &. T. Curtis returned TO the
Comstock last Saturday. During bis alb
sence he visited the Esmeralda county
mines. lie says they have some very rich
mines near Bslleville. Marietta and other
camps, but that tho expense Of working
them IL 40 great that but little margin 10
left for profit. The lack OF wood and
water Is severely felt. The Northern
Belle Company have to haul tho water used
by their hosting engine eight miles, and
the prospectors Of small lodges find II
almost impossible 10 do anything on &C.
count OF having no water. The disad-
yantages lAbored under are very great.

An amusing. incident occurred re-
Gently at church in Connecticut.
The clergyman desired to call the at
tention of the congregation to the fact
that, it being the last Sunday III the
month, he would administer the rite
of baptism to children. Previous to
having entered the pulpit he received
from one of the elders, who, by the
way, was quite deaf, a notice to the
effect that, as the children would be
present that afternoon and he had the
new Sunday-school books ready for
distribution, he would have them ready
to sell to all who desired them. After
the service the clergyman began the
notice of the baptismal service thus
"All of those having children and de-
string to have them baptised will bring
them this afternoon" At this point,
the deaf elder, hearing the name OF
children, supposed it was something
in reference to his books, and, rising,
said: "And those having none and
desiring them will be supplied by me
for the sum Of % cents each.

HUMOROUS.
ORIGIN OF SOME OLD JOKES.

One should remember, to the credit
of Queen Bess, that she now and then
brooked a tart rejoinder. 1t is re-
ported that she once saw in her gar
den gentleman to whom she had
held out hopes of advancement, which
he had discovered were slow of realiz-
alton. Looking out of her garden her
majesty said to fiim in Italian, "What
does a man think Of, Sir Edward,
when he thinks Of nothing? The
answer was, 'He thinks, madam, of a
woman's promise" The Queen drew
back her head, but was heard to say,
"Well, Sir Edward, / must not argue
with you; anger makes dull men wit
ty, but it keeps them poor" A
smarter Fetort than the English cour-
tiers was that of Frederick the Greats
coachman, when he had upset the car
riage containing his master. Freder.
ick began to swear like a trooper; but
the coachman coolly asked, s'Ant
you, did you never lose a battle?
The King replied with good-naturec
laugh = always doubtless the mos

The following sentiments expressed
by Daniel Webster near the time of
his death, though frequently quoted,
pay such tribute to the Christian re-
igion that we present them again:
especially that drawn from the vast
ness of the universe, in comparison
with the pparentinsignifcance of this
globe, has sometimes shaken my rea-
son for the faith which is in me; but
my heart has always assured and re-
assured me that the gospel of Jesus
Christ must be a divine reality. The
Sermon on the Mount cannot be q
merely human production. This be-
lief enters into the very depth of my
conscience. The whole history o.
man proves it. DANIEL WEBSTER"

RELIGIOUS.
THE MAJESTY OF BIBLE PRE-
CEPTS.

There is no weakness in them. No
one of them is emasculated by the
modern prefix ''try." The Bible says,
'Cleanse your hands, We sinners, and
purify your hearts, ye double-minded." "
"Cease to do evil learn to do we'll"
"Depart from evil, and do good"
And thus through the whole book,
from Genesis to Revelation, moral
precept is never prefxed by the en-
feebling "try," now so universally
common.
Just think of the Bibles saying,
Try to depart from evil Try To
cleanse your hands, ye sinners Try
to speak the truth one to another
And instead Of 'sDo not kill" "Dc
not steal" ''Do not commit adultery,
suppose we had, Do try not to kill
Do try not to steal, Do try not te
commit adultery
1t is time to stop recommending
experimenting in morals. None of i
is from above. 1t is all from beneath
"a device of the devil to breal
down the force and majesty Of tn
precepts of the Bible. That glorious
book never uses the word "try" il
any such connection. It knows moth
ing of experimental morals. "Try
is never properly used except where
failure may be justifable. A failur
in morals never was and never can b
justified. .-BdptiSt Union.

That her blossoms may fall
