COLONEL BOB.

Bob Ingersoll for the German Mission is
not an acknowledgement of his audacious
brilliancy nor yet for his services in the Indi-
ana campaign. 1t is payment of his stipu-
lated speech in New York, supporting the
Hayes Policy. This was an event of last
spring. When Hayess Cabinet was an
nounced Bob was as fierce in the expression
of his disgust as any other Radical. He
stormed round the lobbies of the capitol, de-
nouncing Hayes in unmeasured terms. Very
soon he was invited to dine at the White
House. He went there and filed himself
with Rutherfords provender and then went
straightway to New York and made that
speech. There were those who said Bob had
received a retainer in hand 1t is more likely
he got promise of the Berlin mission from
the apprehensive new occupant of the White
House. Now he has his reward. Bob is
''smart" enough for anything needing smart
ness. Nobody living can surpass him as
popular orator But he is about as little
fitted for diplomatic as religious trust; as
il-adapted for the deliberate duties of mis-
sion as the functions of missionary But
he is better entitled to recognition than the
general grade of Hayess appointees 1t is
said he plays fine hand at poker, We con-
graduate the Colonel that he has made Hayes
keep the promise he made him.

MARK HIS MODEST WORDS.

At the conclusion of his speech at Birming-
ham, England, General Grant used these
words as follows:
If had been accustomed to public speaking
[ would have said more, but never spoke in
public in my life until came to England. 1
think it better policy for me, however, to
content myself with simply thanking you,
not only for the toast and for the language in
which it has been presented, but for the very
gratifying reception l have had personally in
Birmingham.
As simple and modest and unpretending as
school girl The later occupant of the
White House, instead of disparaging this great
est living American would be wise were he to
emulate his bearing and his manner of thought
and delivery. This is he:
While in himself a common good.
the man of amplest influence,
Yet cearest of ambitions crime,
Our greatest, yet with least pretense,
Great in council and great in war,
Foremost captain of his time,
Rich in saving common sense.
And as the greatest only are,
In his simplicity sublime.
And may he live to come back to that full
welcome by his countrymen which is in reserve
for him, richly stored and warmly cherished
in millions of loyal hearts,

Poor GIRL.--Of the probable suicide of a
young woman in San Francisco the telegraph
says: Officer Eldridge, while standing near
Long Bridge about 10 o'clock last night, was
approached by an excited woman, who told
him woman had jumped from the wharf a
few moments before. He made brief inves-
tigation, and found that nicely dressed
woman, apparently twenty four or twenty
five years old, had ridden over in car from
the Potrero. She acted strangely enough to
attract the attention of the other woman in
the car. Jurt before the drawbridge was
reached, the woman began sobbing and left
the car. 1t was then seen that she had let
ter in her hand, which was plainly visible as
she wrung her hands, saying: "O my God,
my Cod" She stood for moment on the
wharf, and then sprang over and out of sight.
The officer obtained lantern and row boat
and searched for over an hour in the vicinity,
but no trace of the woman was found.

A DESPERATE LOvER-It is relat ed by an
Eastern print that Edward W. Fisher went tc
a picnic in Harrisburg, Pa, with girl, and
during the day fell gradually but surely in
love with her. In the evening he wished to
call on her, but she told him she had an en-
gagement with another fellow, who was to
spend the evening with her. Fisher went
under her window and took lasdanum, but
the dose was not sufficient to kill. Then he
shot himself, but the bullet missed his heart,
making wound from which he will recover
He is now being nursed by the girl, and she
may learn to love him, after the story book
fashion, although as yet she says 'He's too
big an idiot to live, but don't want him to
die on my account"

FRANK McCULLOUGH'S WOUNDED
FOREHEAD.

By yesterdays Enterprise we are informed
as follows concerning what came near proving
serious accident to Frank Mccullough of
the Merrimac mill About four weeks ago
Frank Mccullough, Superintendent of the
Merrimac mill, Carson river, met with rather
a curious accident. He drew a loaded car
fridge from shotgun and attempted to take
the cap, or small bit of copper containing the
Illuminating powder off it, when it exploded
and he received cut of considerable depth IN
the eyeid, above the right eye and just in the
edge of the eyebrow. The wound refused to
heal and became very much swollen and in
famed Yesterday Mr. Mccullough came to
this city and had Dr. Grant examine the
wound The doctor cut down into the flesh
and extracted round piece of copper as large
as the bottom of an ordinary percussion cap,
but much thicker During the four weeks
the bit of copper was in the wound it gave
great pain, which poultices and all manner of
applications failed to relieve Had the cap
struck a little lower it would have destroyed
the right eye. Mr.. Mccullough says that
since he met with the accident several men
have told him of having been cut about the
head and face in the same way while picking
or hammering at the caps or cartridges.

The Reveille has discovered that the In
dams perform the osculatory caress as well as
any white folk. 1t says that kissing is not
peculiarly civilized custom, and adds: The
savages practice it as a means of testifying
affection. 1t is common sight in Austin to
see an Indian mother sitting on the curb or
squatted ON the sidewalk, dandling her babe,
now and then pressing kiss to it's face with
as ardent an affection and with as great show
of genuine human love as white mother dis
plays to her darling itty pootsey tootsey."

had fox-hound named Gosh" on exhibition

pistol into the dog, and broke into run for
the shaft, with the result above stated.

On HoNoR-An instance of an honorable
regard for the sacredness of a verbal agree
ment is furnished by London police court
reporter of the olden time. The story is an
ancient one, but it is quite as valid as many
which are newer. Here it is: At Bow Street
Police Court, in London, on April 10, 1872,
two men were charged before the magistrates
under the following singular circumstances
A constable who was passing along Hampstead
road on the previous evening observed stout
man, six feet high, hanging by his neck from
a lamp post attached to wall, having been
tied up and "turned off" just before by a
short man. The officer rushed to the spot,
and when he arrived there the handkerchief
by which the tall man was suspended gave
way, and he fell to the ground. His eyes
was nearly ''gone;;" but on recovering himself
sufficiently to stagger on his legs, he immedi
ately struck the officer so violent blow on
the nose as nearly to knock him down. Both
men were with difficulty secured, when they
explained that the tall man who was being
hanged was simply paying a g debt of honor. "
The two had been 60 tossing" in the afternoon,
first for money, then for clothes the tall man
having won the others jacket, trousers and
shoes, they agreed to toss up which should
hang the other. The short man won the toss
and forthwith proceeded to hang the tall man
on the lamp post. The tall man urged that
had he won the toss he would in like manner
have assuredly hanged the short man; but
the magistrates, expressing their horror and |
disgust at the whole story, sentenced both
prisoners to find bail for their good behavior.
They were committed to Bridewell.

Washington, November THE opinion is
quite general in the Senate that the silver bill
will pass with possibly limit to the amount
of silver which is to be legal tender, and that
the President will sign the bill. Senator
Morrill, of the Finance Committee will head a
vigorous resistance to it. There is some oppo-
sition to the free coinage section, on the
ground that it may permit bullion holders to
make profit.
Washington, November 8.-Senator Jones
said to-day that five members, ma jority of
the Finance Committee, were in favor of re-
porting the silver bill passed by the House to
the Senate without amendment, leaving the
members to amend in the Senate. The object
of doing so is to take it out of the hands of
the Committee as soon as possible, and to
give the Senate time to debate the subject
before the appropriation bills are passed by the
House, Jones will vote against the bill if
amended. An amendment will certainly be
made before it can pass. On its 1eturn to the
House it will be referred to the Banking and
Currency Committee, and before it can again
be reached the House will be in full business
trim, and the bill will have to take its course
in the regular business of the session, subject
to all the delays which an ingenious minority
can always subject it to-
