SHELLINe TURTLES tortoise shsll
of commerce is merely the scales that
cover the bony shields of the turtle.
These scales are thirteen in number, va
rying from an eighth to quarter of an
Inch in thickness. A large turtle will fur
nish about eight pounds. "To detach
this shell from the living turtle" says
one who has seen the operation, sis a
cruel process which made my blood creep
to witness. The fishers do not kill the tur-
ties. Did they do so they would in few
years exterminate them. When the tur-
tie is caught, they fasten him, and cover
his back with dry leaves of grass 70
which they set fire. The heat causes the
plates to separate at their joints. A large
knife is then carefully inserted horizon
tally beneath them, and the lamin@ lifted
from the back, care being taken not to
injure the she'll by too much heat, nor to
force it off until the heat has prepared it
for separation. Many turtles die under
this cruel operation, but instances are
numerous in which they have been caught
u second time with the outer coating re-
produced; but in such cases instead OF
thirteen pieces it is single piece.
never could bring myself to witness this
cruelty more than once, and was glad
the process Of scaling was carried on out
of sight of the hut. Had the poor turtles
the power of shrieking, they would have
made the barren island very hell with
their cries Of torture"

TILE BIRTHDAY.

My birthday! why do you mind meP
hate its oft.recurring chime:
II brings me nothing but sad remembrance,
And makes me quarrel with poor old Time.
My birthday! gladly I'd forget it:
would be younger If l could.
Alas! alas! the years are swlndlers:
They make me old before Pm good.
If every woman could find perfect
equality in marriage, there would be no
single blessedness, no divorces, no wom-
an out Of her sphere, no man shirking
his conjugal responsibilities, and no con-
flict between the two sexes for equality.
But large proportion of men fail to
demonstrate their ability to care for more
than themselves, and, as an accompany
ing feature we are obliged to hear so
much about the independent, self-rehant

The name of Mollie Maguires comes
from Ireland. Some fifty years ago or
more a poor old woman in Ireland had
her house pulled down over her head by
landlord. Her name was Mollie
Mcguire, and she died of grief and ex-
posure. Thereupon her sons and
neighboring lads formed themselves into
society, and vowed and took fierce re-
venge on Irish landlords in general. The
band spread rapidly, and they called
themselves MolIie Maguires, and Irish
coal miners brought the name to America

DIspLAY.-True merit is never fond of

DIsPLAY.-True merit is never fond of
disylay. Hence comes the phrase, ''bar-
baric splendor." In the palaces of the
Turk, in the halls of the Aztec, the
greatest displays Of history are located
There the mind lay in feebeness, full Of
coarse passion or childish littleness.. In
the heart of Africa the great traveller,
Schweinfurth, found the same love Of the
high style" He found a jet-black prin'
cess whose body was weighed down by
over hundred pounds Of African jewel
ry. Her ankles, her arms, her waist, her
neck, " ere laden with rude iron rings.
The taste ran TO iron at those African re-
ceptions. Thus this history OF display
is all inwoyen with the history Of bar
barian life. The moment the higher fac
ulties of mind began to be developed,
splendor began to move from without in-
ward. Decoration moved away from the
tapestry, aud wardrobe to reappear in
the soul. True greatness has always
been plain.

So lately died, so soon forgotten. 'Tis
the way OF the world. Men take US by
the hand, and are anxious about the
health of our bodies, and laugh at our
jokes, and we think, like the lily on the
wheel, we have something to do with the
turning of the earth. Some day we die
and are buried. The sun does not stop
for our funeral; everything goes as usual.
we are not missed ON the street; one or
two hearts feel the wound of affection;
one or two members still hold our names
and forms; but the crowd moves 10 the
circle, and in three days the great wave
OF time sweeps over our steps, and washes,
out the last vestige Of our lives.
God Is never so far off
AS even to be near;
He Is within; our spirit Is
The home He holds most dear.
To think OF Him as by our side
Is almost as untrue
As to remove His throne beyond
Those skies OF starry blue.
So, even while thought myself
Homeless, forlorn and weary,
Missing my joy, walked the earth,
Myself, Gods sanctuary.

MEETING OF GOVERNORS.

Arrangements have been made for q
grand meeting of the Governors of all
the States and Territories in Philadel-
phia on the 25th instant. Those from
the South and Southwest will be re-
oeived at Baltimore by Governor Car
roll of Marylands those from the West.
Northwest and Pacific Coast by Gov
arpor Hartranft at Pittsburg. and those
from the East at Jersey City by COM
mittee of merchants. After seeing the
lion and the elephant in the city of
hrotherly love-. they will visit Cape
May. New York, Newport and other
places. Of note in the Eastern States.
The meeting. it is said, will be purely
social, and will have no political sig
uifcance whatever.

SARGENT, PAGE q GO.

The Federal ring of California are
making desperate efforts to save thena-
selves and their party from the cyclone
of pnblie scern aud indignation which
Is sweeping over the Golden State.
They are now engaged in their last,
desperate effort to break down the free
dom of the press by vigorously prose-
cutting the proprietors of the San Fran.
cisco Chronicle for sexfNOO8 their
frauds and populations before an in
ferior Court way up among the bear
wallows and rNanzineta thickets of the
Sierra Nevadas. AS there is no appeal
from this court they think they have a
sure thing. Almost the entire bread
and butter brigade are locking to Pla-
esrville to give the prosecution tone.
The Grand Jurors Hotel is full to
overlooking with shysters. henchmen,
shoulder strikers, political tramps and
rapseallions. The ring has chartered
the hotel for the season and as DON as
La Grange arrives the happy family
will be complete. The case Is likely to
occupy several mouths. and the Grand
Juror who has leased his hotel to the
ring has given up. the idea of applying
for the superintendency of the mint
If the De Youngs are found guilty of
libel the ring leaders will take new
courage and continue to run and con-
troll the Republican, party of California
If they are acquitted then Sargent,
Page. Gorham, Carr. La Grange and
their confederates will have to step ont
and.t over the Offices they have so
long disgraced to, honest men. They
will continue to sink so low in public
esteem that some of them would have
the temerity to ask for the Office of dog
empounder at Mud Springs. The only
thing they can hope to get would be
the position of " Senator for Nevada.
From the earnest and warm support
which the Enterprise and Appeal gives
to Sargent, Page il Co we think they
need not be without hope. Every poll
tician OF California who is repudiated
at home becomes at once a candidate
for Senator from Nevada" 1t would
be wen Tor the Reno Journal to add
the names of some of these worthless to
it's list of candidates for Governor, as
it has it's hand in. There is nothing
like being in time IN announcing the
names of candidates.

The Desert Land Law.

j. Fl. Vaudeville, of Washington
I'd. CO. has transmitted to Melville
Curtis, Deputy U. s. Surveyor. of
this city, says the Austin Reveille, q
circular containing some important cor
respondence in relation to the location
of lands under the act known as the
81 Desert Land Law" and the decision
OF j. A. Williamson. Commissioners of
the general Land Office thereon. Fol-
lowing is the decision:
II cannot go further than to say that
the whole of the land pre.empted must
De reclaimed for agricultural purposes,
bat the raising of grass would meet this
requirement.. Any more liberal con-
struction OF the Desert Land Act might
smbarrass my successor or the future
policy of the Land Department. This
statement is unofficial"
From this il will be seen that,nO land
can be located under the act as desert
lands, unless the locator intends to re-
claim by irrigation every acre of it;
therefore, p.rse ms locating desert lands
aau only take up such quantity as is
susceptible of reclamation.
