Men, as a rule, are easily attracted
by beautiful face, but still 1t is an
internal beauty of character, by which
a woman can exert the greatest
amount of influence. A tlue-minded
man, though at first enamored by the
glare of personal beauty, will soon
feel the hollowness of its charms
when he discovers the lack of beauty
in the mind. Inestimably great Is
the influence q sweet-minded woman
may WELD over those around her. 1t
is to her that her friends would come
In seasons of sorrow and sickness for
help and support -one soothing touch
OF her kindly hand would work won-
ders on the feverish child, q few
words let fall from her lips in the ear
of a sorrOwing sister would do much

Gilead ON his wounded spirits, that

stern realities of life. The rough
schoOl-boy flies in rage from the

full of grief with its own large trou-

A Hard Money Man.

CtVto t0O su8inAo NlV NntOuicles
Yesterday afternoon an old follow
who for some time worked at the
|sluice boxes in Six Mile Canon, sold
his Sierra Nevada and came out g..
500 ahead. He went to his broker
and remarked that he was going East
to see the folks, and guessed he take
the money along.
"You want draft on New York,
supgose?"
geld twenties are what I came for"
Here he placed q brown leather va
lise on the coulter and told them to
pile In the money. of
a"I'm going to take this sack all the
way to New York myself"
"You can get the gold in New York
and save the bother of carrying the
coin along" remarked the clerk.
"YOu can't play the gold in New
York on me; they don't have any
there. The last time / was there I
never set my eyes on even a two-and-
a-half piece. Now just dump the
coin in this sack. want good solid
Comstock money. No paper in mine."
He was given the coin as desired,
and last night he was on the train
with the carpet bag alongside of him.
The chances are that the first three
card monte sharp that falls in with
that fellow will relieve him of his
pile.

roughs, vagabonds and idlers Of ths
country to a degree unknown in oul
previous history. Such q party Il
never ledsave by the reckless, shrewd
unprincipled demagogue. Times ol
paying of old scores begotten Of reck.
less times--ju like the inebriate's
hair-pulling as he sobers up after q
drunken carousal- are the times in
which such parties grow and dema-
gogues find 1t profitable to play upon
the disordered condition Of society.
These demagogues don't blush any to
attack bitterly their own past profess
si0ns and practices by denOuncing
them; they don't hesitate at all to ut
ter the most patent falsehoods; they
freely state one thing to one man and
directly the opposite to another; they
freely consort and unite with such
men as Brick Pomeroy and III. Clay
Dean in crusede after their kind Of
reform, and finally they rack their in
genuity to array the passions OF peo-
pie against their neighbors who may
have acquired q competence. So they
abuse good citizens and teach the
crowd to abuse and hate them. This
they do in the unstinted use of mis-
representation and falsehood.
Such course leads only to tempo
rary success. 1t Is a pitiful sight TO
but the history of the world
has furnished many a Judas and Civ
IN many an example of their ephem-
,ral success.

1t seems there were none of the
passions of men to which the green
backers of Iowa, in their late canvass,
did not appeal. This whole CAM
paign was based upon an effort to en-
gage and irritate the passions, with
out regard to reason or care for Justice.
The Sixth District well illustrates this.
Now Gen. Weaver used to be the
most rabid temperance man in the
State of Iowa, and was the leader of
the republicans who bolted Gear for
Governor ON temperance grounds.
And yet there was issued and circu-
lated all over the Sixth district, In
the interest of Weaver, last week, q
circular appealing to the saloon men
to support Weaver as their friend,
and punish Sampson as their enemy.
We copy this strange document else
where. 1t will be seen, that Weaver
thus made use OF the Just sentences of
Sampson-when ON the judicial bench
lin punishment Of saloon men viO-
lating the law, to gain votes for him
self. This would appear to be q very
mean appeal to the passions Of men.
And yet It Is no worse than the 90
peals made by that party to all che
other and lower passions Of the worst
peOple.--,XGte Regfster.

Elsewhere we give the summary Of
this mornings Slate Register on the
result Of the election in this State.
Greenbackism has made c0nsidera-
BILE. inroads upon the republican party,
and joined to the democratic party, 1t
has simply given the latter party new
strength nothing more, nothing
les. Under the guise Of q cry for re-
form this coalition has as completely
stultihed itself In matters OF principle
as ever any party did in the world.
In other words 1t has stopped to any
sort Of tricks; told all manner OF tales
regardless Of truth; cast honesty to
the winds; banded together in secret
council-in fine, done anything and
everything that promised to give aid
to victory, let 1t be what 1t would.
No party in the North ever existed
that had so much of the mob element,
Of communism, Of dishonesty, of
trickery, as the combined National
Greenback party, and In keeping with
the old adage It steals the livery Of
honesty to work dishonesty. While
It has within its ranks very many
good and honest men, yet It Is the pit
into which has congregated the

We desire to say as a matter of fsim-
pie Justice, that there were several
democrats Of Centre township, and
may be very few in the country,
who, on pure principle and from an
honest purpose, voted for Judge
Sampson and were earnestly opposed
to Weaver. They did well and we
gladly record 1t. There was, too, a
considerable number of the German
democrats here and perhaps else
where in the county who voted for
Sampson. They, too, were moved
thereto by their honest convictions
and steadfast purpose to maintain
honest money, They deserve favora-
BILE mention which we gladly accord
to them. A large part, however, Of
OF the democrats of this city who
may have opposed Weaver, did 80
from q dislike Of Weaver, or not car
ing for him, they traded him or to
obtain votes for Thompson for Clerk.

We are sorry to admit the victory
is not as complete as we supposed yes
tertlay. Iowa must wear the badge
Of disgrace that disfigures Maine. It
is perhaps unreasonable to demand of
% political party In q great state Of q
million and q half inhabitants
that It shall elect all of the nine con-
gressmen to which the state is enti-.
tied, but Iowa IL so thoroughly and
evenly perfmeated with republicanism
that public expectation has been equal
to the demand of unanimity in our
fepresen tatlOn In Congress. 1t IS OBJ
viOus, however, that such unanimity
is not practicable to the extent Of COW
ering the years when some political
craze sweeps over the country like
the anti-mOnOpOly humbug a few
years ago, and the new epidemic now
raging, and which the political doc
tors have termed 'sgreenbackism. y
The anti-monopOly mania had Its
run; the cheap money idea is follow
ing in its wake. Each may be prop
erly classed as q political squirt; one of /
that class Of demagokical phenomena

tim Thursday night on the overland
train. He was In truly pitiable
condition. Coal tar or gas had been
used, and used freely. This substance
blisters like Q mustard plaster. The
cuticle will peel off OF Mr.. Jones Just
as If he had been boiled. His hair
and the wound on his head was filled
with tar. Tho hair stuck out In all
directions, or at least mass Of tar
stuck out. The sockets Of his eyes
were le,-el full of solid tar, which
seemed to have been poured into
them and allowed to cool. His whis-
kers seemed large, unhappy mass of
tar. His face, neck, and, we are told,
his entire body had . thick coating.
The vigilantes kindly clothed him be.
fore putting him on the train. The
sight might have been ludicrous, if
1t had not been agonizing. The train
was nearly, three hours in reaching
Truckee. The pain endured by the
poor fellow was excruciAting. Sight
less, helpless, coated with . horrid,
substance, he sat silently,
with his head bowed over. Occa-
his fingers would grasp spas
medically at the open air. Some
lines his body would twitch ner-
7ously, as if from the pain he cndur-
ID. Arriving at Truckee Grandson

prescribed obtained. Every body who

airly burning up. No one ever
