His Honor coughed and demanded
severely:
"Do you, sir, as citizen of Nevada,
and lawful voter of Reno, solemnly

evils and cleave to this one?'

the groom, growing pale, but placing
his arm around the waist Of the shrink

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER IS. 1878.
The Modern Rnscins.

AT eleven years of age David Garrick
had begun to feel the prickings of his
Unborn vocation. Later, while pursuing
his law studies, he devoted all his spare
hours to his darling play-houses. Little
thought the actors that there sat in one
corner of the pit an obscure country fell
low who was noting their shortcoming,
and who was longing to sweep away all
| the mounting, strutting, sing-song ira
ditions of their efiete school, and bring
about a marvellous revolution in their
art.
He made his debut ON October 10,
l74l, in Richard Ill From his first
soliloquy the audience could perceive
that a new light had burst upon the
stage; all was natural, full of fire and
passion. In 1746 he went to Covent
Garden. There was the battle of the
old and new school, AMI the excitement
was enormous. When Garrick, young
and light, and alive in every muscle
and every feature, came bounding on
the stage, it seemed as though n whole
century had been swept over in single
scene. He was destined to dispel the
bigotry of a tasteless age, and bring for
ward a new order, bright and luminous
Six years later came his victory in Lear
1t was his sublimest effort in tragedy.
His curse was so awful that it is said
the audience shrank before it as from a
blast of lightning. One night, even one
of the sentinels who were then placed
on each side of the proseenium, was seen
weeping at his post.
Nature had done SO much for Garrick
that he could not help being an actor
frame so flexible that by its aptitude
and elasticity he could fit any character
that tragedy could offer to him. His
eye was penetrating, his brow movable,
and his features SO accommodating that
before his tongue could give the text,
his countenance would betoken the spirit
of the part he assumed.
He made his last appearance in l776,
and never, it was said, did he play with
more animation. In short speech he
wished the audience farewell, which
was echoed by voices choked with
emotion as he passed behind curtain
which was never again TO rise upon him.

How Napoleon Escaped Assassination.

During the campaign of 1909 Napoleon
arrived at Brun, in Moravia. He had
to pass the Old Gate. A steep ascent
leads to this gate, contiguous to which
are several houses; one of these was oc-
cupied by mechanic as dwelling and
workshop. Among his journeymen was
a native of Tyrol, an Industrious and
worthy fellow, but, like all his country
men, furious enemy to Napoleon and
the French. On the morning when the
Emperor rode to the Speilburg the
Tyrolese was missing. His comrades
were just talking of him when the ap-
prentice entered the shop and mentioned
that he had seen the Tyrolese at the
window of the loft. This awakened
curiosity, and the master went up to
the loft to see what he was doing; he
found him kneeling at the window, with
gun ready cooked lying before him,
and his eyes fixed on the road by which
Napoleon was to pass. AS the house
stood on the declivity of the hill, conse-
quently lower than the gate, the En-
peror on horseback, at the moment when
he came up to the gate, would have been
on a line with the window where his
humble foe had posted himself; and the
distance would have been so small that
scarcely any marksman, and least of all
Tyrolese, could have missed his aim.
A few minutes after the master had dis
armed his workman Napoleon passed
the gate and rode down the hill. His
destiny was not yet accomplished.

MILK AND MALARIA,

A discovery has been made in En-
gland which should excite some atten-
ton in this country. 1t is to the effect
that diseases can be spread by the dis
tributiCn of impure milk. The discov-
cry was the result of an accident, as
most discoveries are, and was caused by
the putting of strong disinfectant in
drain near a dairy. The next day
a disagreeable taste was complained of
in the milk, and investigation led to
the discovery that gases from the drain
pervaded the dairy, and were readily
absorbed and held by the milk.
This fact led to experiments which
disclosed that the germs of typhoid
fever could without difficulty be dis
seminated in this way, and convincing
proof was furnished when an epidemic
in certain town was traced back to a
similar cause. In this connection it
may be mentioned that during the past
summer Northern village, located
among the mountains, and formerly SO
healthy that it had become quite sum-
mer resort, was afflicted with an cpl
demic of typhoid, and the only way in
which the invasion could be accounted
for was that case of typhoid fever had
occurred in a family which usually sup
piled the residents with milk.
That this fluid is convenient medium
for storing and conveying gaseous poi
sons is now pretty we'll established,
and since, in this country particularly,
there is no intelligent system of drainage
outside of our cities, and since diaries
are frequently located in the lowlands
and in the Easements of buildings, it il
fair to presume that much of the malaria
with which people are inoculated is
brought to them in their milk. This is
subject which might properly be ex
amined by our scientists on this side Of
the water, and such improvements sug
gested as will contribute largely to the
public health and safety.

A Tragedy of the Sea.
Nantucket Enquirer.

Mr.. Charles Killeen, mate of the
schooner Eta A. Simpson, and the sole
survivor OF her wreck, gives the follow
ing narrative of the terrible hardships
of the crew; owe left Bath, Me-, Friday,
October IL, bound to Baltimore, with a
cargo of ice. We took the gale SATURDAY.
forenoon, at the foot of the Shoals. from
the east; at noon it was thick, and we
came to an anchor at the east end of
Norton's shoal, letting go three anchors
at five p. IN. the wind was blowing n
hurricane from n. n. F., and the
schooner dragged over the shoal, pound
ing hard. At three o'clock p. m. the
vessel rolled over in seven fathoms of
water, probably from her cargo shifting.
and we all took to the mizzen rigging.
Just before she went over | told the
captain we had better get the boat ready
to lower, but he remarked that she would
not live in such foam, and we had best
cling to the largest piece of wood. The
second sea which boarded us swept away
two of the men. The rest hung on till
about five O'clock in the morning, when
they began to go. The man on my
right became a raving maniac, and soon
succumbed, the rest following soon after,
leaving Captain Hart and wife and N.Y.
self still clinging. The sea was break
ing over us to the height of ten or fif-
teen feet continually, and, as it dashed
against us, it seemed as if it would dash
us to pieces.
Early Sunday morning we saw the
steamers Martha's Vineyard and Dexter
come out, and | told Captain Hart to
hold his wife tight while 1 tried to signal
them. Put my coat on the shearpole for
waif, but they probably did not see it,
as they made their way to vessels on
Tuckernuck Shoal. During this time
Captain Hart lost his hold on his wife,
and had to jump to his assistance, and
we drew her back again to a place of
safety. When we perceived we were
not to be rescued by the steamers, Mrs.
Hart became discouraged, and soon after
gave up, slipping from our grasp about
two p. m, at which time she was about
drawing her last breath. The sea was
washing by us at the time waist deep
The loss of his wife completely unnerved
Captain Hart, who turned to me and
shook my hand, saying, after had tried
to console him and get him to hold on
longer | can't do it; you may, you're
tough man; | don't care now whether /
live or die He gave me his ring and
some money, with the request that if |
was saved | would send it to his parents,
and then handed me his watch, asking
me to keep it as a memento. At nine
P. m. Sunday evening he was wandering
in his mind, and 1 was obliged to lash
him to keep him from going overheard.
About two o'clock Monday morning he
died, with his head resting on my knee.
| secured his body and stood up waiting
events.
My feelings through all this trying
ordeal were far from pleasant, but some
thing seemed to impress me that was
to be saved, and throughout | did no t
despair in the least. My signal was
seen by party in boat from Edgar
town, and | was taken off The boat was
too small to take off the captains body,
too, but we afterward returned in
whaleboat and took it from the vessel"
