the subject of elocution. He was
followed by Professor Ewing, who
made some valuable suggestions in
regard to the best method of teaching
arithmetic. Professor Casebeer dis
cussed the subject Of ''bones." Pro-
fessor Van Wagenen made some re-
marks upon the necessity for public
exercises in schools which were well
received. Professor Bray advocated
the benefits to be derived from rhe-
torical exercises.
A handsome collation. was served
up for the teachers by the people Of
Dayton, which courtesy called out a
vote of thanks from The teachers.
Resolutions were also adopted in re-
spect to the memory of Miss Hall OF
Sutro, lately deceased. The exer-
cises, which were of a highly inter-
esting character, concluded in the
evening with grand spelling match,
under the direction of Professor Flint
of Virginia. A young man named
Harris spelled down the class, and
in a Written contest Miss Mary Bar
rett and Mrs. d.. Hazlett were ad.
judged champions. Miss Leslie read

FIRE.-Saturday night our people
were again startled by the prolonged
shrieking of the mill whistles and
the ringing of the fire bells. Almost
instantly flames illuminated the town,
and their progress was SO rapid that
nothing could be done to save the
property. The building, situated
back of the Stone House, was "A resi-
dence valued at 81 900 belonging to
the estate Of Mrs. Stewart, deceased,
and was all that stood between three
little orphans and cold charity. 1t
was doubtless the work of an incen-
diary. Words fail in adequate con-
demnation of the mean wretch who
applied the torch. The frequency of
fires should admonish our citizens to
provide sufficient protection as soon
as possible.

MINING PAYs.-A table lately pub
lished in San Francisco shows that
whilst the assessments have amounted
to nearly twenty millions, the divi-
dends have been $93, 900. 900, or four
times as much, and when we take
into consideration that the greater
proportion Of the assessments we're
paid out as wages tor labor, we
can add the two together and show
the enormous amount of over one
hundred and sixteen millions of dol
lars added to our wealth from incor-
porated mines. Nothing that could
be written speaks more for the value
and vitality Of our mines than this
array of figures-twenty-three mill
ions to the laborer and ninety-three
to the investor.

CHINESE REMEDY FOR NIGHTMARE

DO not at once bring a light, or
going near, call out loudly to the
sleeper, but bite his heel or big toe
and gently utter bis name; also spit
in his face, and give him some gin
ger tea to drink; he will then com,
round. Or blow into the patients
ears through small tubes; pull out
fourteen hairs from his head, unite
them into a twist, and thrust them
into his nose.

Alas. Poor YOrick /!

On our table is a skull found in
the placer diggings of Mr.. Lyman
Jones, in Niger ravine. The read
er must not jump to the conclusion
that it is the relic of nigger. for it
doubtless belongs to a period ante
dating the African invasion of the
sagebrush land, and as its owner
evidently lived long before the
Caucasian invasion, we conclude
that it belonged to native Ameri-
can, most likely to poetic Piute, in
a rude age when whisky and other
advantages of civilization were un-
known to the noble nomad.
We imagine u centenarian Piute
Hamlet might, as he held the skull
in his hand, soliloquize thus:
"Alas, Prowling Wolff knew him,
Man-afraid-of-h is-wives; fellow of
infinite jest. of most excellent fancy
he hath felled me upon my back a
thousand times, and how changed
Here hung those lips l tattooed for
him, as he mine. Where be your
jibes now? your gambols? your
songs? your flashes of merriment,
that were wont to set the whole
tribe in q roar? Not one now. to
mock your own grinning; quite
chap-fallen."
We will add such speculations as
to his character and life as our
limited chronological knowledge
suggest. The forehead. though not
wide. has fair elevation, showing
thar he probably had an idea above
crickets and grassboppers, which
idea likely prompted him to seek
the wild Sierras and bring down
the giant grizzly with his little bow
and arrow, and this conformation
also leads to the belief that he com
pretended the natural advantages
of this country and farmed largely
raising hair. A certain bump
indicates that he would have been
very mulish il there had been any
Government mules about. Music
is well developed, and he was prob
ably the best singer in the tribe
at war dances. His entire lack Of
caution was caution to his enemies.
but the statement that he had no
invention was an invention OF un
friendly rivals. Adhesiveness is
large and he doubtless adhered to
the customs Of his forefaihers.
Self-esieem is large. and, like most
self made men. he esteemed him
self greatly. Philoprogenitiveness
is extremely large, and we should
Judge he was kind OF Brigham
Young ia his domestic establish
ment, but whether No. 10 ever
troubled the old man about divorce
and alimony is buried secret.
His scquisitiveness being small. We
are inclined to the belief that how
ever much divorce she got, the
money obtained would not pay a
$40, 600 lawyer fee.
