Hayes and John Sherman both wish,
probably, that Anderson had received a
consulship in warm climate in fact, the
hottest climate known. 1t is not usual for
any one to make direct application for
the place, though. as proper reward for
many kinds of misdeeds there is no other
known place quite equal to it.

Mr.. Murray's Vision of New Eng
land Church.

Rev. w. H. H. Murray began to tell
his New England church people at Bos-
ton, Sunday, about that 100000 church
which he proposes to build for that
society, but he succeeded in only giving
part of his plan and will finish it up
next Sunday. He proposes to have 400
persons give $500 each for the erection
of stone edifice, which shall seat 5000
people and have platform large enough
for one Thousand singers, and the best
organ that can be built. These 400
donors are to have their names carved
in the building as the founders of the
enterprises, and they are TO choose from
themselves eleven trustees to manage
everything pertaining to the church.
The governor of Massachusetts is to be.
by virtue of his Office, the twelfth mem
ber and the chairman of this governing
board, five of the eleven are to be from
Boston and the remaining six are to
represent the New England States.
These trustees are to hold office for life
and are to be self-perpetuating BODY,
filling by their own action vacancies
caused by death or resignation. Mr..
Murray declines to permit the enterprise
to be governed congregationally, and
thinks that twelve persons can be more
safely trusted to do the best and wisest
thing than twelve hundred. The church
Is to have no special local parish and
is not to belong to any denomination.
and its membership is to come "from
every city and village and hamlet on
the face of the earth.n This plan is
substantially the same that Mr.. Murray
has several times before advocated
through his paper of having in large
centers OF population and influence
one large, undenominational Christian
church enterprise, and now that he has
taken it up in earnest there will be no
little interest to see whether he has
correctly interpreted the religious signs
of the times as Indicating that now is
the time to call for the 5000, 900 which
is the first sine qua non of the practical
success of the movement which he has
thus idealised and outlined.

WANTED A MAN TO SIT WITH SAL
Yesterday afternoon a green looking
couple, evidently newly married, called
at the photograph gallery of Beals g.
Waterhouse, and wanted their pictures
taken. just as Mr.. Beals had got the
plate ready the man called him aside
and said he wanted to ask favor. fT
was told in Carson you took the best
pictures in the state. Now, you see Sal
and | got hitched down there last Mon
day now, her folks do great deal on
style, and they live in the States. They
never saw me, and if I send my mug
back East they'll be dead agin me sure.
rm a darned sight better than look,
and when people come to know me
they vote me a brick. Now what |
want is to get some good lookin' man
to sit with Sal for picture. Will you
stand in9 She's willin'. Them big
whiskers of yours'll catch 'em sure, and
create harmony. You look like solid
capitalist, and they'll take me for a
petit larceny thief" Mr.. Beals enjoyed
the idea immensely, and sat with I'Sal"
for picture, which will doubtless carry
joy into the household of the eastern
relatives in week or so.- Virginia City

The Summer of 1878.
vENNoR's PREDICTIONS FOR THE SEAS

VENNOR's PREDICTIONS FOR THE SEASON
1t may be of interest to farmers and
others, just now, to learn the 'tproba-
bilities' for the weather of the next two
or three months. These 1 give Just as
L find them in my private note book,
under the heading "Impressions of the
weather." written over the same date
as that on which 1 anticipated the re-
cent "relapse of the weather with snow
fiurries." My impression then is that
the present showery moist term will
continue until close upon the middle OF
June, with, upon the whole, cool
weather, but occasionally couple OF
more days of sultry heat. The latter
half of June will be intensely warm,
with but little rain. July will enter
with intense heat, which will continue
up to the neighborhood of the 18th.
After this date cool and cold change
will set in, with, very probably, frosts
at night. Heat again during last few
days of month.
August will also enter exceedingly
hot and dry, and continue so up to be-
tween the 10th and 18th days; after
which cool weather with northwest
gales, and frosts at night may be ex-
pected to extend through large por-
ton of the remainder of the month.
There may probably be an approach of
snow during this cold blustery period.
This will end the dry term, which will
have lasted from the middle of June.
Rains will again set in with Septem-
Der ands continue through this month
and October, and it is my firm belief
that there will be considera BILE and
very earl y snow fall during the latter
month. This snow, however, will of
course rapidly disappear, and will be
followed by brief period of summer
like weather again. November is not
yet clear to me, therefore will defer
sketching its behavior until a somewhat
later period. At present hold forth
as almost certain a wet autumn. lasting
in all probability through September,
October and November.
In fine, the whole summer will be ex-
ceedingly variable, with sudden changes
from intense burning up heat to cool
and even cold weather. The frosts are
likely to occur along the Ottawa valley,

w Professor Craig of University
College, Wales, has been walking about
the Welsh Valley, which Shelley visit
ed in 1872. He found there an old we-
man, who, as little girl, had seen
Shelley. She said, "'Oh there was a
very strange gentleman used to come
here, he who put the f5 note on the
boat This made me prick up my ears,
remembering Hogg's tale about the e5
note Shelley set a-sailing on the Ser
pentine, and l asked her what she
meant. 1t came out that this visitor,
who must surely have been Shelley,
used to do great many strange things
He used to go about with a very long
pole to keep out of the rocks and from
the bank his little wooden boat, about
so long that is, about a foot; and that
she herself saw him put a Is note on
it to sail it (Which got lost), but it was
brought to him afterwards by man.

bad one, in that little Dugdale's two

thing like him, and that he always used
to keep his neck bare and his shirt open

so open as in the picture"

Eg Mr.. Edison has made contract
with the Western Union Telegraph
Company, by which all his electrical
and magnetic inventions become the
property of the company. These in
clude his telephone, which the company
considers the most useful telephone in
vented. 1t can be used with wire in
close proximity with other wires with
out picking up confusing sounds coming
from other sources, or giving up the
secrets of messages conveyed by it to
other telephone wires. The company
hopes to establish telephone communi-
cation with at least 1000 towns, too
small to support the expense of teIe-
graph operator. The system will be
such that any one having access to
telephone can, in few minutes time,
be put into communication with any
one else having such access, and the
two can converse in entire confidence
without the intervention of even an
operator. Telephone clubs will bring
the privileges of telephone commune
cation to almost every one.

WATER IN THE EARs.-A warning to
those about to indulge in sea-bathing
is given in the Medical Record, by DR..
Sexton, OF the n. Y. Ear Infrmary. He
finds salt water to be peculiarly irritat-
ing to the delicate membrane of the
inner ear, while cold fresh water may
be equally injurious. Every year hun
dreds of people are sent to the infirmary
for treatment whose trouble has arisen
from getting water into their ears while
bathing, or from catching cold in the
ears at such times. He recommends, as
pTecaution, the plugging of the ears
with cotton before entering the water,
particularly in surf bathing.

A Sensible Word for the Girls.

A girl who makes herself too cheap
is one to be avoided. No young man,
not even the worst, excepting for base
purpose, wants anything to do with a
cheap young lady. For wife, none
but fool or rascal will approach such
a woman. Cheap jewelry nobody will
touch if he can get any better. Cheap
girls are nothing but the refuse; and
the young men know it, and they will
look in every other direction for a life
long friend and companion before they
will give a glance at the pinch beck
stuff that tinkles at every turn for fas-
cinating the "eye of any that will look. !"
You think it quite the correct thing to
talk loudly and coarsely, to be bolster
Gus and hOydenish in all places; to
make yourself so bold and forward and
commonplace everywhere that people
wonder if you ever had a mother, or
home, or anything to do. So be it.
You will probably be taken for what
you are worth, and one of these years.
if you do not make worse than a ship
wreck of yourself, you will begin to
wonder where the charms are that once
you thought yourself possessed of, and
what evil spirit so befooled you. Go
on; but remember, cheap girls attract
nobody but rascals.-Boston transcript.

g The price paid by the Nineteenth
Century to Tennyson recently for his
ballad on the Revenge" was pretty
high, yet it is not the highest paid in
our time to poet. The ballad con-
tains about 100 lines, and the author
received for it 300 guineas, or $3.50 a
line. Robert Bonner paid Longfellow
for the changing of the Crane,n $4,000.
That poem contains 200 lines, at which
rate the poet received $50 per line.
For ''Tithonus," published in an early
number of the COrnhill Magazine, Ten
nyson received 100 guineas, or 1925 a
line, and Tom Moore much exulted in
receiving guinea a line.
