WE REGRET that Congressman
Wren has got off the track. Some
weeks ago he said he supported the
President, but now it is reported that
he IS marching under Mr.. Conkling's
flag. We hope he will soon become
convinced of the error he has fallen
into, right about face, and stand In
with our reform administration.

up that wedding.

WALTER & Co., dealers in general

stock for the fall trade, in anticipa-
ton of revival of business on this
portion of the Comstock. Almost
daily arrivals of goods attest their
faith in the mines adjacent to Silver
City. They also do stock and COM
mission brokerage business quite
equal to thst Of Virginia or Gold

From BOdie and Aurora.

Judge McClinton, formerly of the
Warm Springs, has returned from
Mono and Esmeralda counties, and
his report respecting the futurity of
that section of the great mineral
country are, to put it In mild way,
fabulous. He says that Aurora is
prosperous, and that the long looked
for good times are near at hand. D.
o. Mills and other capitalists have
determined to resume work in dead
earnest on the once famous Real del
Monte and other mines lying con-
tiguous. Aurora will yet see its best
days. Respecting Bodie, he says
every day brings to light new devel-
opments of surprising richness. Eve
ry hill within the mineral belt seems
to be mass of gold bearing quartz.
Recent uncoverings in the Bechtel,
Blackhawk, Syndicate and Red Cloud
mines, together with the immense
body of rich ore in the Standard
mine, insure the mining prosperity
of Bodie for years to come. The
Judge says this will suffice for the
present; he does not want to tell all
he knows for fear of injuring his
reputation for veracity. Our inform
ant has gone to San Francisco, where
he will very likely astound the nd
tives with his narratives respecting
the great wealth lying buried in Mo-
no ana Esmeralda counties. Tue

tiers, and mnch reliance can be placed
in his iudgment.-[Carson Appeal.

est. We believe Colonel Robinson,
Superintendent of the South End,
owned the other one-third of the

The Death of Titiens.

Some interesting facts concerning the
last days and death of Mile Theresa
Titiens are given in late English papers.
October 2, the the day before she died,
she was exceedingly cheerful, and the
day was made particularly happy one
by the reception of very kind mes
sa ge from Queen Victoria, expressing
sympathy with her sufferings and ad-
miration of her talents. She dined as
usual and expressed no discomfort IN
the evening, but toward bedtime be-
come faint and could only retire with
assistance. She slept TRANQUILITY until
about o'clock in the morning, when,
though still able to take nOurishment,
and entirely conscious, she was found
evidently sinking, and died without
suffering. Titiens appeared on the
stage in the early part OF the last opera
season, but her disease began rapidly
to intensity about the middle of April,
and on the 10Th of May she sang for the
last time in Lucrezia Borgia. On that
occasion it was a part of her role te
feign death, and she remarked to q
friend that she thought she was really
dying. 1t then required four men &c
lift her. She afterwards underwent
several surgical operations without re-
lief. June 1S, after a journey to Worth
inc. she caught cold, and her subse
oneut history was that of gradually de
clining strength, with occasional sufler
ing relieved by surgical skill. SD'
died at her home in st. John's-wood
surrounded by her sisters and niece

How He Judged the Town.

About week ago, says the Jefferson
City (Mo.) Journal, gentleman from
Tennessee, representing a capital OF
$4,000, i'm search of location at which
to engage in business, gave us a call
and after stating his mission "West,
asked to look at our paper. We handed
him the morning Journal. To our sur
prise he did not stop to read our newsy
local "pick ups" or our attractive edi-
torial page, but he turned at once to the
advertising columns and commenced
counting over their spaces.
"Well," said he glancing up from the
paper, sis that all ? Is that the bushes;
of this town."
"Oh, no." said we, ''here is the Tri.
bune with few advertisements that dc
not appear in the Journal
He then counted two additional loca
business advertisements in the Tribune
and again looked up with the remark
"And that's all, is it ? Why yOu
haven't got near as much of town as
thought you had
And then we explained to him tina
we have a great many business mel
who do not advertise.
"They are not business men to hur
if they don't ADVERTISE" was his answer
We could not contradict him, and we
were powerless to vindicate the "claimi
of the city,"
He left us, saying if he had time ht
would look around, but he thought thi
was no place for him.

and many affectionate friends. Her
comparatively early death, at the age
OF forty-three, is in part explained by
the fact that from the day of her first
appearance on the English stage she
led very intense life. Her seemingly
inexhaustible energy was the marvel
of London society. She would GO
through an exhausting part at theater
and then appear at ball, and leaving
last, would seem the least fatigued.
She was fond of every description of
gaiety, and it is probable that she laid
the seeds of her fatal illness in the
rounds of fashionable enjoyment. She
was impulsive and passionately fond of
life, and too ready to make inexpedient
sacrifices for the sake of pleasure.
Her career, brilliant and successful
though it was, on the stage and in So
ciety, teaches, by its sacrifice of a fine
physique and splendid constitution to
an early death, how great is the cost at
which enjoyment and success are Of
ten gained.

Down in a Silver Mine.

Those who have never personally in
spected the lower levels of our mines
may obtain some idea of the degree of
heat to be found therein by visiting the
Savage works at the change of shifts.
The men-packed together as close as
they can stand on the cage-are popped
up out of the shaft all steaming hot, for
all the world like bunch of asparagus
just lifted from the pot. They make
their appearance in cloud of steam
that pours mp continuously from the
"depths profound" and are dimly seen
until they step forth upon the floor of
the works. AS the men land and sep
arate, each carries with him for half
minute his little private cloud of vapor.
AS this passes of, the man is seen to be
naked from the waist up, his skin as
wet as though he had just been lifted
out of pool of water. The men bring
up with them-besides the steam-an
amount of heat that may be felt by the
spectator as they pass. All this is at
the top of the shaft, where it is cOnsid
cred quite cool-what then, must it be
hundreds of feet below, where the men
started from-dOwn where the water
stands at 157 degrees Fahrenheit 2
Down there no steam is seen-it is too
hot for it, 1t is only when the hot,
moist air coming up from the lower
regions strikes the cool air toward the
top of the shaft that it takes the form
of steam. Down there where the men
come from you must keep your hands
off the pump column and the pipe, and
if you pick up any iron tool you will at
once put it down without being told to
do so. Down there they handle things
with gloves on, or wrap rags about the
drills they are guiding and iron appara-
tus they are moving, and down there,
too, you will learn to keep your mouth
shut after you have drawn a few mouth
fuls of hot air into your lungs. Per-
spire 1t is no name for it. You are
like sponge that is being squeezed.
You are ready to believe that you have
ten million pores to every square inch
of surface, or as many more as any au-
thority may mention, and that all these
pores are as big as the cells of honey
comb. You go for ice-water, and it al
most seems to hiss as it passes down
your threat-yOu keep going for it and
thus, in a short time, find out what be-
comes of the tons and tons of ice that
are daily consumed in the mines. Re-
main below among the miners for al
hour or two, and when yOu are finally
popped out at the top of the shaft, all
red-hot and steaming, among the other
asparagus sprouts, you will appreciate
the beauty, the light and the GOODNESS
of the upper world Virginia (Neu.,

A Noble Act.

Once upon time a young man was
convicted of crime in Detroit and
sentenced by Recorder Swift to the
state prison for three years. He made
an A No. record in prison, and was
pardoned by Gov. Bagley short time
before the expiration of the term for
which he had been sentenced. On his
return to Detroit he found employment
at SIS a week in one of the largest
wholesale and retail houses in the city.
He conducted himself in an exemplary
manner, and he began to believe that
his lines had really fallen in pleasant
places, until one morning an ominous
message came informing him that he
was wanted in the prOprietor's private
Office. Apprehensive that his history
had been disclosed, he entered the
office with heavy heart, but resolved
to meet the issue like man. The pro-
prietor stood by his desk, holding in
one hand letter. His manner indi-
Gated nothing of what was passing in
his mind, but with a deprecatory ges-
ture he handed the letter to his clerk
and told him to read it. The young
man glanced hurriedly over the letter
"a cOwardly anonymous production
which was simply recital of the dark
episode in his career. "Is that true n
inquired the proprietor. "It is true, ,
was the sad reply. The merchants
face lighted in an instant. He grasped
the abashed and trembling clerk by the
hand and said to him, "You are the
man 1 want. You may draw $l3 a
week from this time until further notice
and at the first opportunity l shall give
you charge of a floor. l can trust a
man who will face the truth in this
fashion and under these circumstances
and you may count on permanent sit
uation so long as l am in business
What the young man said in response
to this unexpected declaration of con
fidence has not been told but the mer
chant, whose sense of justice and low
of truth were so signally illustrated
may be assured that he has gained ;
loyal friend, and earned the deathles
gratitude not ouly of that young man
but of all his family. 1t is an example
worth more than whole decades of i'm
prisOnment.
