The PARDON OF MOLLIE FOR
SHAY.

Some well meaning persons who are
not particularly partial to Governor
Bradley. are trying to create prejudice
against him for pardoniDg Mollie For
ahay, who was sentenced to the State
Rrison for killing q. man at Reno.
These persons talk as if Governor
Bradley constituted the Board of Par
lions, and was alone responsible for
setting the woman at liberty. This is
mistake. The Board of Pardons con-
sists of five persons, the Governor,
Judges of the Supreme Court and At
tDrney General. and the law requires
that not less than three of these five
members shall constitute majority of
the Board. and have power to grant
pardons. We do not know what rea-
sons were given by the Board. for par.
aoning Mollie Forshay. but two other
members of 1t, both we believe. judges
OF the Supreme Court. voted with Gov
srnor Bradley in favor of it. Governor

FAME'S GOAL.
BY WILLIAM WATCHER

OH Famel Famel thou illusive sprite,
Thet. have sought by day and night.
i But from my view thy form did fade,
Thou tickle. fragile, elm jade,
When thought to apptoacl, thee.
In thought by day and dreams at night,
painted thee in colors bright,
longed to catch from thee one smile,
That would my dropping head beguils.
Ard buoy up my sinking hopes.
I vo,ively bowed at thy shrine.
And thee worshiped as divine;
| at thy feet adoring kneeled,
And for thy blessing appealed.
To cheer me on my way.
My parents dear their living sold,
To gain for me purse of gold
And in my ear this stery told:
'el'o gain nam you must be bold
And fearless rs q knight.
go learn the art of nations strife,
nd though moihe., daught r, wife,
Shall sorrow all their days of life.
Because thy fell DESTROYING knife
In war thei. kindred bled
" And caused the orphans tears TO HOW,
Or loads sisters heart with woe
II thou the conflict shall survive,
In fame thou shalt forever live.
Full emba.med in glory.
.Orit thy heart less martial il,
Aud more inclined to subtilities,
Then study artiul sophistries
And deep abstruce philosophers,
To prove that wrong is right.
.sThus by deep and cunning art,
You'll captivate the simple heart
OF simple folks, who. with eager cries,
Will iaud you TO the very skies,
And swear that thou art great.
MoRAL-THE GOAL.
Great in war. or great in peace,
Because you did the people fleece:
Increased your wealth and magnifed-
In wrong-yourself. and then you died,
An honored Civilian.

The Tellurium Mine.

The public has heard but little concern
ing this mine during the past year. The
ow ners have preferred to work on patiently
and steadily, overcoming the difficulties
which stand in the pathway OF all incipient
enterprises, without making any great
public display. Every inch of progress
that has been made in the tunnel being
cut in the mine, has been disputed by
rock of the most obdurate character,
SO at best. but fsw feet could be made in
a day. Work has gone forward steadily
with determination that is commendable.
There 10 no doubt about the richness OF the
Tellurium mine, and every one will watch
with interest the progress made towards
It's substantial developement. Mr. Z.
