WALKING Girls of Nevada.

While perusing a little volume on
waltzing, lately published in San Fran
cisco, the different styles of waltzing
INDUCED in by our Western girls were
wildly called to mind. The are waltz
ers and walters. With some it is
about as awkward performance as can
well be imagined; with others it is a
natural ard graceful movement-in
fact, the very poetry of motion. An
Austin girls waltzing is easy, graceful
and I" melodious." If she is from Car
lin she. throws her hair back, jumps up
and cracks her heels together, carries
off her astonished partner as though a
Washoe zephyr had struck him and
knocks over all obstacles in her mad
career. A Tuscarora girl crooks her
body in the middle like a door hinge,
takes her pard by the shoulder and
makes him miserable in trying to hop
around her without treading on her No.
9 shoes. A Carson girl will now and
then work in touch of the double
shuttle, or bit of pigeon-wing. A
Winnemucca girl-yum, yum-creeps
closely and timidly up to her partner,
as if she would like to get into his vest
pocket, and melts away with ecstacy as
the strains of the isBlue Danube"
sweep through the hall. An Elko girl
is q natural Walter and does it with an
abandon that is charming. A Virginia
City girl throws both her arms around
his neck, rolls up her eyes, and as she
floats away she is heard to murmur,
{" Oh, hug me, John!"- (Nev.

Golden Winter Evenings.

Liz picdSdHG WiHtcT evenings art
coming around again, with their long
hours for improvement; and if the prop.
er facilities are afforded, thousands Of
children can make a great advance in
learning before the short evenings come.
A winters evening is almost equivalent
to good half day of working-time, and
when it is possible, this time ought to be
the children's very own.
The first requisite is warm, pleasant,
well lighted room. Where there is a
room you can spare for the purpose, it
Is wise to fit it up especially for chill
dren's study. A good fire, table with
chairs, few book-shelves, and some
pictures on the walls, with simple frames
of autumn leaves or plated cigar-light-
crs, or yellow straws laid orderly to-
gether and caught with stitch at the
corners, will make sufficient furniture.
Do not grudge the added lights and fuel,
for they will pay you back better inter-
est than the money put into your blood
ed stock. The improvement of your
children ought to lie nearer your heart
than the improvement of your cattle.
And bear this ever in mind in all your
dealings with your children-they can
never grow up but once, and there will
be no coming back to rectify mistakes.
Guide and instruct them well with re-
gard to the right improvement of these
evening hours. Let the boy who has a
taste for reading have share in read
ing room, where he can obtain books, and
buy the best books your means will al
low to help him develop his powers.
Let the boy who is interested in bee-cul-
ture make himself master of the best lit
erature of that subject. Let the farmer
boy have his abundant farmers jour-
nails, and discuss with him the subject he
becomes interested in. Let one child
at least be good accountant, and learn
the rudiments of bookkeeping, so that
he or she may take charge intelligently
of that department. Let some one be
the family letter-writer, and keep up a
correspondence with all absent friends
who are dear to you-there is something
SO sad in the separations which take
place in families simply from neglect!
A good letter-writer can remedy all
this, and add largely to the family hap
piness as well as her own improvement.
The pleasure is extended also to all the
other families into which her letters 90.
A family who spends the winter in
this manner will be known everywhere
as household of superior intelligence
and thriftiness. They will be well start
ed on the road to true prosperity, and
will have their enjoyments and en-
Payments on higher plane than those
who have no pains taken with their in
tellectual culture.
1t is the mother who is likely to de-
eide this question for the winter. Given
a cosy nook, and the right sort of q
chance, your children will have q good
profitable winter. If you huddle them
all into the kitchen to save fuel and
lights, and save mussing the tidy sit
or commodious upper cham.
Der, you will have your reward, such as
it is. But you could better afford to
give them your best parlor and all its
belongings. rather than suffer this waste
of the golden winter evenings.-Cor.

THr phenomenon Of phosphorescence

The phenomenon Of phosphorescence
at sea has generally been supposed to
be caused BY electricity. Scientists
now assert that electricity has nothing
to do with the matter. They claim that
it is due to microzoa which exists far
down in the sea depths, and rises at
certain seasons of the year. There are
different species. The principal one,
according to Pouchet, is the Military
Noctiluca. Their substance is dia-
phanous jelly. In the tropical seas they
are seen in perfection. The broad sur
face of the sea is blaze of light.
Tongues of liquid fire dart from before
the PROV of the ship as it plows along
and the wake of the vessel seems like a
line, somewhat whittier and more beau
tiful than the normal condition OF the
sea before it was disturbed.

Broken On At the Altar.

The guests at 4 recent expected mar
rage in certain church on the Wes
Side were treated to q singular and ratl
er startling sensation at the very mo-
ment when the connubial knot was to
be tied. The bride and groom were 6
young couple, and had made all the
necessary preparations for the anticipat.
ed happy event that was to unite them
as one, and it was thought by the re.
spective friends of the pair that the
course of true love had run quite
smoothly with them, and genuine mu-
tual affection existed between them. The
invited company had entered the house
of worship, and the attendants ON the
couple had taken their places around
the altar, while the minister remained
in waiting to perform the ceremony.
The bride, attired in all the gorgeous
finery customary on such occasions,
alighted from the carriage, and the
groom stepped blithely and lightly af-
ter her and upon her long trail. AS he
did so the lady uttered low cry, and
exclaimed, sharply: Oh, dear; how
awkward you are!'' The young mans
face colored as he stumbled off the
rich garment, and he gave his arm to the
lady while laboring under confused
mind. The pair walked into the church
and down the aisle to the altar. All
eyes rested upon their movements, and
a murmur of voices arose as they came
in and took their positions before the
minister. The ceremony proceeded,
the minister asked the bride if she
would accept the groom for her welded
husband and received the usual affirma-
tive answer, and was about to interro-
gate the young man when the latter inn
pulsively and Unexpectedly said to the
bride =" Oh, dear; how awkward you
are!" and, quickly turning on his heel,
walked out of the edifice without an
other word of explanation, leaving the
astonished bride standing at the altar in
mute bewilderment, and the minister
and guests in blank amazement. The
young man went his way in a carriage,
and the disappointed bride and the
maids who sought to comfort her left
the church for their homes. The oc-
currence was an actual one, and has
created no small amount of gossip in
the vicinity where the church is situatss

A Man Who Saw a Mule Die.

ssAin't it curious thing that nobody
ever sees q mule die?" remarked an old
teamster in Gumbert & Webber's saloon.
No man living ever saw a mule die, l
s'pose?''
Thus remarked Mr.. Daniels, lighting
fresh cigar: "In 1850 I was mining
on the South Fork of the Yuba, and it
came my turn to cook for my gang.
We took turns each week, you know.
Well, was going to show how econom-
ical l could run the commissary. l
went and bought peck of dried apples;
they were all stuck together in lump,
but l got 'em jamie into the pot, poured
in some water and started the fire.
Presently few of 'em began to rise up
to the top of the pot, and so skinned
'em off and put 'em in a pan. Pretty
soon some more bulged up, and l skim
med them off and put 'em in the pan.
The first thing l knew, after I had
skinned that blasted pot awhile, l had
to get another pan, and then another,
and by the time I'd got four pans heap
ed up full, dang my skin if there wasn't
more apples in the pans than there was
in the pot. That is, thought SO
at the time. kept get
ting more pans, and buckets,
and lard-cans, and all the time plumb
frightened to death for fear some of the
boys would come in and see how extrav-
agant was, for had been blowin' on
how cheap could run the mess. The
blasted apples still kept a-comin' out of
the pot. l put some papers out on the
floor and covered 'em with fruit, and,
by Jove, the place looked like Santa
Clara fruit-drying establishment, and
the pot was still bilin' full.''
"What has that got to do with a
mule dyin'?'n
Wait minute. I'm comm to the
mule. Finally l got desperate and
dumped over twelve bushels of the ap-
piles back of the cabin, behind a tree.
In about an hour heard devil of q
noise, and ran out. What do you sup
pose l found? Why, S40O-mule kick
in in the agonies of death. The apples
were all gone; the mule nearly so. He
was swelled up like balloon, and the
first thing l knew. he busted. Pledge
my word, gentlemen, he exploded like
a giant-powder blast, and brought the
whole camp to the place. 1 kept still;
they could not find the mule, and it cost
'em $40 to advertise a reward for him
in the Sacramento Union. About two
weeks afterward they caught couple
of greasers hanging round, and they put
it up that they stole the mule, SO they
hung 'em. was there, but did not say
word for fear the boys would find out
how extravagant had run the commits
sary. Let's have something. ''-Nryinia

Siamese Twins in an Oyster.Bed.

The clerk of the steamer Maggie, Of
the Eastern Shore Steamboat Company,
has brought to the city remarkable
oyster that had been caught in the Ches-
apeake. The oyster is, apparently, two
oysters fastened together, as is often the
case. The popularity however, is that,
while there were two distinct oysters,
they were fastened together by liga-
ture running from heart to heart the
shell that divided them being very thin,
and showing that there was really but
one oyster contained in the three shells.
The same gentleman has also an old
bottle into which an oyster had become
imbedded, remaining until it was too
large to get out.-Baltinaore Bulletin.
