Reasonable Assertions.

A party Of Miners in the Black Hills
recently compared eyes and ears over q
campfire. One said: when was COM
ing to the Hills / looked for Indians I'M
I'll could see mosquito a mile away"
Another said that his eyes were weak,
but he could see gnsts jumping around on
the rocks four miles off. The next man
had listened for Indians until be heard
the mountain sheep buttins agains the
horn Of the Big Horn Mountains 300
miles away. The fourth, with his head
on his pillow. had strained his ears until
he heard the Chinese mailing tes-boxes
The fifth, in crossing the Rocky Noun
tains had found q petrifed forest-big
trees turned into solid stone. As he
loitered on the edge, deer started across
the valley and was transformed in a mo-
ment into solid stone. bird flew past
him and perched upon . branch, began
to sing. Suddenly the bird was changed
to stone. The song she was singing was
also petri6ed, hanging down from the
beak OF the bird-s cold. hard stone. 1t
is about time for great American novel
ist to go out to the Hills and write about
these interesting miners-ior $40 Q word.

Don't Expect TOO much.

One Of the first lessons iu life that bu-
mainly should learn is to be contented
with the advantages arising from one set
of circumstances, and not regret those be.
longing to the contrary condition Of things
The high>spirited. active and energetic
person will not be obedient, patient, easily
resigned the quiet. patient, spaihetic per-
son, who gives no trouble by inconvenient
activities or insubordinate ttmpers, will
not be easily reused to exertion, or induced
to take the lead even when necessary. A
man chooses for his wife a woman ofmark-
ed mental ability-one who can understand
his deepest thoughts, and he is quite right
in his choice. He has chosen the malt;
but how about the meal Malt Is an ex.
cellent thing in its way, and no one has q
word to say in its disfavor only-you
cannot have both, and malt precludes
meal. When he expects to find, on their
first difference Of opinion. sweet, woman
ly submission, which most men prize
more than any other quality. he finds in
stead unyielding self>sssertion. His
malt or womanly independence destroyed
all possibility Of wifely obedience.
Or We will suppose the man chooses q
child>woman for sentiment and the affec
tons, or a doll woman for q show; here
also he cannot reasonably expect to find
more than one thing for which he
covenanted. He has no right to feel ag-
grieved because he cannot have both
meal and malt. And thus it is in all
things. Take into your service first class
domestics. and pay them good wages
but do not expect they will allow them-
selves to be ordered around like so many
pauper apprentices. Or take low-class
servants, ignorant and inapt, VINO have
to learn everything, and do not expect
them to act like trained servants. You
make cheapness you, first consideration ;
then do not look for perfection. You
cannot have both together. II you go to
first rate places, you must get first rate
prices if you go to second rate places
for cheapness you will not have superior
wares dealt out to you Choose which
you will have, and content your soul
with your gain; but do not ask to have
it IN meal and malt, too, for you will only
cry for the moon if you do, and give
Yourself headache to no purpose.

what Ruins Children.

One Of the greatest defects Of this age
is the "fastness" of our boys and girls
And every bit Of it is tracesble back to
the homes, where idle news carriers drop
in continually, and are permitted to I'M
fold their budget Of gossip and scandal.
Children hear more than ia ever believed,
and the winks. mods and hints that they
catch at intervals excite their curiosity,
and TO satisfy which chances are not
wanting. But to prevent betraying that
they hear, they also learn to be very shy,
so that, in time, they are able to build
block-houses, make kites, or even pre-
tend to study their lessons, and yet hear
every word that is said. lie it wonder
that by the time the reserve and purity
of the mothers mind is worn out. the
daughter is just in the same condition?
with the difference, that, while the mother
has family ties that serve as q check, and
has the judgment of maturer years, the
daughter is hsmpered by none of these,
90 that she stands at the threshold OF life.
she is like q boat tossed out on the sss,
without a pilot, save her own desire, and
the crew. instead of being all good infiu-
ences of the past. are just the reverse. II

1t is natural that men should pursue

a dark. luxurious and beautiful eye, the
crimson blush of the cheek, a graceful,
symmetrical form but. after oil, the in>
quiry should be: is there soul within 2
Is there elevation of thought, generous
principles, notable purposes. a cultivated
intellect? If not, what else would wo>
man OF beautiful per,onal appearance be

could man Of genius be induced to wor.
ship at such a shrine? How long before
his affections would assume the form of
hatred or contempt? Powerful passions
and strong affections invariably sccompa-
ny the man of genius.
Hence it lie clear that unless personal
charms envelop a cultivated mind, as
well as the sterling qualities o. virtue, tn.
noblest impulses of affection in such a
man will soon be extinguished, and his
londest hopes Lighted. in the selection OF
a partner for life. Nothing is more de-
sirable to a man Of genius in this life
than the ardent affections of good, SEN
sible woman; and on the other hand, no
offering on earth is so acceptable to a
woman as the sincerest affections OF a
man Of genius and truth.

DIVIDING UTAH.

The Gentle papers I'M Utah are dis
cussing the proposition of dividing the
Territory and parceling it out among
I the adjoining States and Territories.
The Corinnes Record ably and warmly
: advocates the measure as tue cheapest.
=, easiest and best way of solving the
Norman question. The Territories vt
Idaho, Montana and Arizona, could
easily take care of the Mormops in the
extreme northern and southern coun-
; ties of Utah, while the central portion
Of MormoBdom should be apportioned
equally between Nevada and Colorado.
This State requires more property and
population to support its government.
The refusal OF tire bonanza men to pay
taxes on the net proceeds of their
mines and the inability of the courts.
SO far, to compel them, has reduced the
State to beggary, and the acquisition
Of slice of Utah or some other rich
territory that would increase the reve-
nue. of the State, would be very accept
able. Our Senators and Representa-
= tive to Congress should urge the pas
sage of such a measure, or else intro
duce bill to repeal the Organic Act of
Nevada ard reduce it to Territory.
A State Government for the parpose of
keeping two citizens of California in
the United States Senate, is too expen-
siye a luxury for the 10000 white in
habitants and less than one-fourth
! that number of Taxpayers OF Nevada.

The Packard Legislature is rapidly

Telegrams were received by the Presi.
dent from the Louisisna Commission

that the prospect of a settlement of
affairs continues 10 improve, and the
indications are that the the labors of
the Commission will have satisfactory
termination.
The members of the Louisiana
Commission believe that the end of
their labors is near. They strenuoQsly
eodeavored to secure one Legislature
bygeDeral consent. A re union would
be nearly valuelese unless accompanied
by good degree of real reconciliation
and harmony. They believe the
National Government has decided TO
accept what Louisiana should present
rather than dictate what Louisiana
should do. They have striven not so
much for detailed plans of any dis
cription as to soothe passionate feeling
and create a desire for peace and re
union. They all speak with respect of
the personal bearing of both Packard
and Nichols. Ike letter of Nichols APP
pears to please them greatly. and they
speak of him as an honorable soldier,
whose honest sincerity and high cour-
age cannot be doubted. Unqnestion-
ably he will do his utmost to carry out
the policy to which he so frankly COM
mits himself He is sustained by the
best moral and intellectual elements of
his party. Alargenumber of Republi-
cans have from the beginning accepted
bis Governorship as inevitable. and
said that it would not only bring public
peace, but make great step forward in
the protection of the people, and |
surely lead to a reorganization of
parties, under which all sides would, |
as amatter both OF policy and duty,
protect the personal and political rights
of all voters. The Commissioners are
in good spirits over the present aspect
of affairs.

Two painters of Oakland, Edward
Mury and Preston Tonner, met with
frfgAtful accident yesterday forenoon,
which will probably result in the death
of theformer. They were at work at
the tine in that city painting the cornice
of house located at the corner OF
Fifth and Jefferson streets. The
planked ladder platform on which they
were standing, was suspended from the
top of the house in the ordinary way, by
means of graphing irons, one of which
snapped in two, letting the men fall
over thirty five feet. Tonner was but
slightly burt. while hurry, who struck
the ground head foremost, received in
juries that are likely to prove fatal.

A MENDsNG TIE ELECTORAL LAW

The New York Assembly has passed
bill amending the statute relating to
the election of President and Vice
President of the United States. 1t
provides for electing Electors at Large
on the State ticket and the district
electors in the several Congressional
Districts, one in each district. This
appears to be fair way of choosing
Presidential Electors. and it would be
were it not for the peraiicious gerry
Wandering system adopted by legisla-
tors. By this system, 1t is IN the pow
er of the Republican Legislature of
New York to divide the State into Con-
gressional Districts, which would in
sure the election of Republican cleo
tors in three fourths of the districts of
the State, notwithstanding there is a
Democratic majority of 85,s 900 in the
State. TO accomplish this end in the
election of Cop6rt ssmen, some of the
districts are shaped like a horseshoe
and arranged so that towns and coun-
ties which are strongly Democratic are.

to enable the adjoining districts to elect
