Thoughts for Saturday Night.

To keep your secret is wisdom, but to
expect others to keep it is folly.
Individuality is everywhere to be
spared and respected rs the root of every
thing good.
Watch for opportunities of usefulness.
Every days brings them, and once gone
they are gone forever.
It is safer to affront some people than
to oblige them; for the better man de-
serves, the worst they will speak of him.
The reason why people SO seldom
know how to do their duty on great &C.
casions is that they will not do their
duty on little ones.
Deceit is the false road to happiness
and all the joys we travel through to
vice, like fairy banquets, vanish when
we touch them.
1t is only by making much Of our
minutes that we can make much of our
days and years. Time must be made
use of as it flies.
Many people utter falsehoods in order
to be agreeable, to give pleasure or to
avoid giving pain; but this betrays q
great want of courage.
Our customs and habits are like the
ruts in roads; the wheels Of life settle
into them, and we jog along through the
mire, because it is too much trouble to
get out of them.
A man who would thrive in the world
has no such enemy as what is known by
the term sensibility. Tt is to walk bare
foot in mob; at every step your toes are
crushed by the iron-shod shoon of crowd
ing vagabonds, who grin from ear to ear
at the wry faces you make-at the cries
that may escape you.
Deal gently with those who stray.
Draw them back by love and persuasion.
One kiss is worth thousand kicks. A
kind word is more valuable to the lost
than mine of gold. Think of this and
be on your guard, ye who chase to the
grave an erring brother.

A Terrible Fall.

A thousand feet above Lake Tahoe,
in Nevada, lies Shakespeare Peak, q
precipice with a ragged edge. One
Sunday. not long ago, six young people
set out from hotel, on an excursion
to the crest of the rocky ledge. They
reached the summit in safety, and
had q merry time, laughing, singing,
flirting. One of the young men chal-
lenged Carrie Rice to descend by q
narrow and very precipitous path. Being
girl of high courage, she made the ven
ture, in spite of the remonstrances of
the rest Of the party. The couple had
not gone far before the girls foot
slipped, and as she had hold Of her COM
panion's arm, they rolled together down
the precipice about fifteen feet. Here
the gentleman struck ON ledge, which
formed rude shelf, but the lady went
to the bottom of the abyss-a distance
OF seventy-five feet. Her companions
found her upon heap of broken stones
at the base of the peak, unconscious,
dying. ts

Reflections on the Clam.

Ministers may learn lesson from the
clam. 1t only opens its mouth to dis
close richness.
The clam wears a rough exterior, but
he is merry and social entleman at
heart. So are many whom the world
considers harsh and uncongenial.
The wife may learn lesson from the
clam. 1t keeps its house in order, and
never strolls about to the neglect of
duty.
Gossips may learn lesson from the
clam. It never opens its mouth at the
wrong time, and keeps its secret while
life lasts. Science says that it took mil
lions of years to evolve man from the
clam; observation shows that it takes
less than minute to transfer the clam
into the man.
Business men may learn lesson from
the clam. 1t has no smile during bust
ness hours, but when it feels the warmth
of society, it opens its very heart, and
gives itself up to increase the jollity of
the hour,

The Autumn MOSauit0.

The autumn mosquito is unlike the
summer buzzer. The summer buzzer
comes booming along with some caution,
and after you have slapped the place
where he isn't, he goes off to settle on
the corner of picture-frame and con-
slider. He waits until you get to sleep,
if he can. The autumn mosquito does
no such thing. He waltzes ON to your
counterpane in frisky manner. He
thirsts for blood and is bound to have
it. He will let you slap and will dodge
about your head while you wave it sing
ing sweet song all the time. He set
ties down with every assurance and COM
mences to pump out your blood, I'M
mindful of anything you do. Nothing
will discomfort an autumn mosquito.
He would accept nominations from the
Republican, the Democratic, the Pro-
hibitory or the Greenback parties, or
would run for Congress without a cent
in his pocket. One thing about him is
peculiar. He seems to have special
fondness for the edges of ears-which
makes politician his best field for sport.
He will sit a-stride an ear and bore holes
by the hour. We don't know but it
would be good plan to wear ear-muf-
hers while the autumn mosquito is on his
raids.

"ShOOt Me, and Not Haug Me. 81

As A. J. Frank, deputy sheriff, was
on his way to Alturas, the county seat of
Modoc county, California, with John
Mccoy, he was halted by about fifteen
armed and masked men, who demanded
the prisoner, Mccoy. The deputy and
his assistant, Thomas Henderson, were
taken from the wagon and bound, COM
manded not to stir, and guard was
placed over them with shotguns. The
rest of the gang took charge of the
wagon and prisoner. Mccoy said /:
"Boys, this is what I expected" The
mob ordered him to say his prayers. In
answer to that he said: "Shoot me,
and not hang me-" The rope was pre-
pared over a pine limb by the side of the
road, and when the wagon was stopped
one of the party led the horses under
the limb of the tree. The rope was
then put around his neck, and the word:
Pull on it, boys" was given. He was
soon dangling between heaven and earth.
The masked men remained about twenty
five minutes on the spot, and then the
deputy and his assistant were released
and commanded to go to Adm and let
the man hang all night. Mccoy had
stabbed and killed Charles Leibecker, a
quiet, industrious, and inoffensive man,
who had never before seen Mccoy.

A Brave Servant Girl.

A servant girl named Harriet Smith
was presented with valuable gold watch
by the people of Maidstone, England,
for rather singular act of bravery. A
man was painting the outside cornice of
three story dwelling in which Harriet
was domestic. The ladder on which
the painter stood, fell, and the painter
chung to the roof with his legs dangling
dowd by the third-story window. Miss
Smith threw open the window and
courageously grasped the painters ankles
Just as the exhausted man let go, and
she hung on until she dragged him feet
first through the window. Hence the
watch presentation.

A correspondent in Roumania gives
the following war scene II was near
Jassy, not many days ago; the weather
was hot, and clouds OF Ano ohalky dust
rolled up along the passage Of regi-
ment Of the Imperi, Il Guard. Tho Cos.
sacks were thirsty. and two Of them, not
being able to resist any longer their
craving. dropped in rear OF the column,
and, allowing their comrades to march
on TO glory, went in for drink at the
nearest crasma. Bumper succeeded bum
per with frightful rapidity. until at last
the landlord refused to listen to their
demands. One of the Cossacks, already
somewhat refreshed at former station,
became indignant and obstreperous. and
drawing his saber threatened to put to
death every one in the establishment.
Flight of the landlord, folloYed, some
minutes afterward, by. the arriv& OF q
patagel-policeman Of the mayors office
in the rural districts--who instead of
pacifying endeavored to arrest the
drunken soldier, and received for his
pains q saber.cut which stretched him
lifeless on the floor. A second and
third patagel shared the same fate, and
then the mayor in person came to the
rescue with dozen Of peasants armed
with slaves, by whom the Cossack was
soon beaten to n jelly and, bound hand
and foot, was thrown into m clubhouse
until cart could be got ready to convey
him to the Russian camp. Meanwhile
his companion looked on in silence,
neither interrupting in favor of the land
lord nor seeking to protect his inebri-
ated fcllow-countryman against the just
reprisals OF the village authorities. He
sat gazing at the performance in stupid
apathy, his horses bride in his hand,
humming to himself one Of those wild
songs of the Oural, which, chanted in
chorus by these Eastern warriors, take
the place Of regimental bands. He
wanted to see the finale, but he meant to
take no part in the performance, and, as
he was blameless, except in so far that
he had neglected to pay his bill, was
very indignant when the mayors follow.

A Remedy That Defies Competition.

dus its ons no ONE has eaed
and retained such large share Of public favor,
though many have enjoyed an ephemeral popu-
larity. The reason is this, that whereas many
of these medicines were advertised to perform
cures of the most startling nature, they have,
when tested, almost invariably turned out to be
of little or no value, while the great invigorant,
whose reputation they were intended to-rival,
has never disappointed those who have placed
their confidence in it. It has indicated in the
amplest manner its claims to be considered
a positive specific remedy for liver complaint,
dyspepsia, malarious fevers, debility, constpa-
ton, and numerous other maladies arising from
general weakness and disorders of the stomach
liver and bowels.

small lOmDanieS.

Most of our readers are familiar with
the prospects and workings of all the
principal mines in the district, but are
unaware hat there are a great many
miners who are at work on their W
locations, and in a very quiet way con-
tribute a large to the total ore
Weld of Eureka. These men are
among the most skillful of their class,
and associate together in their enter
prises, relying on their Judgment and
skill for compensation for their labor.
They either lease small mines for a net
amount of the proceeds or work loca'
tons of their own. Prospect Mountain
is one vast body of ore and there Is
room for plenty of these companies.
Although the yield of ore is small In
detail, the aggregate is large, and they
have a ready market at the furnaces.
The Eureka. Atlas and Richmond
Companies purchase the ore outright,
deducting cost Of smelling, shrinkage.
etc., or work the ore for a stated price.
Several thousand tons have been pur-
chased by the above companies during
the last year, and the amount pro-
duced is continually increasing. AS a
rule, the miners realize more by this
method than if working for miners
wages, and in several instances modest
fortunes have been gained where no
capital was invested but perseverance,
muscle and brains.

GASLIGHT.
Effort to Introduce a New Illu-
minator.
A FRANCHISE TO BE ASKED FOR.

About two years ago an effort was
made to introduce gas in Eureka, but
for some cause unknown the PARTIES
interested, after making all the pre-
liminary arrangements, gave up their
scheme, and not until lately has the
subject been again agitated.
Some time since the Board of County
Commissioners received a communi-
cation from Samuel Ries, of San Fran
cisco, asking to be granted a franchise
for the manufacture of Illuminating
gas and the laying of main and service
oipas in the streets of Eureka for the
term of twenty five years. The petit
toner asked the board to donate to him
a small piece of land on which tn erect
the necessary works for the manufac-
ture of the gas, to be decided to him
after he should have expended the sum
of $1,000 toward the proposed project.
The board, taking the matter into con-
sideration, thought it would be better,
if done at all, to give a franchise to
some party more identified with our
town, and the matter was laid over for
| future consideration. The matter has
again been brought up, this time by
IL. X. Mitchell, of the Pancake Coal
Company, who desires to obtain a
franchise for a similar purpose, and is
now in San Francisco making esti-
mates of the probable cost entailel in
the enterprise. He proposes to usethe
coal from his mine, which has been
tested and found to be admirably suited
for the manufacture of Illuminating
gas. The coke he proposes to dispose
of to the furnaces in town tor smelling
purposes. How far Mr.. Mitchell has
progressed with his plans we have not
been informed, but enough has been
done &c assure US that the gentleman
intends, if a franchise is granted him.
to introduce the new illumination, and
it is thought it will meet with a favor
able reception.
