again robbed This time the driver was halted
by masked men, whose purpose was, not the

officers. The only thing the coach was robbed
of was Il is precious pair Of villains who were
taken out and hanged to cottonwood tree on

The Term Porte.

The te1sn Porte" which is used to
denote the administrative government
of the Ottoman empire and includes the
Sultan, the Grand Vizier and the great
Council of State, had its origin in this
way: In the famous institutes estab-
lished by the famous warrior, Moham-
med H., the Turkish body polite was
described by the metaphor of stately
tent, whose domes rested upon four pill
lars. The Viziers formed the first pill
lar, the Judges the second, the Treasr-
rers the third, and the Secretaries the
fourth. The chief seat of government
was figuratively named the Lofty Gate
of the Royal Tent, in allusion to the
practice of earlier times, when the Otto
man rulers sat at the tent door to adj
minister justice. The Italian translation
of this name was La Porte Sublima.
This phrase was modified in English to
the Sublime Porte, and finally the adj
jective has been dropped, leaving it
simply the Porte.

Employment for the Young Folks.

What shall l do with my little ones to amuse
them during the cold days which are Fastening
on us, you ask? Some day when you are very
busy give wee little Bess (who can just sit
alone) a feather, and be sure her fingers are a
triie sticky-and most babies usually are-then
see how she will amuse herself by pulling it
from one hand, only to find il adhere Just as
closely to the other. 1t will entertain her for a
long time and Julia, who is older, can make
bubbles with pipe. No matter il she does wet
her apron, let her enjoy herself. 1t is difficult
for adults to be content unless employed and
what can we expect of the little active minds
and spirited bodies unless engaged in some busy
occupations They must be diverted and many
simple things will interest them for hours at a
time. Let them string button molds, build block
houses, watch the sand in the hour glass; give
them geographical puzzles to place together, and
they will be instructed as well as entertained.
All of us can call to mind, when visiting how
lonely and weary we were because of nothing
10 do. Let these little ones all have something
to do, and make it your study for if you do not
find something for them, Satan will.
When visiting, recently, the little daughter of
my hostess came il the room, her little pima
fore cut to pieces, and holding the scissors be-
hind her
Mamma, see what naughty scissors" said
the little culprit
Child, what have you done?" said the
irate mother. "Why did you cut your apron
thus?"
And, taking her rudey by the arm, little miss
was thrust-not gently-into an adjoining
room, thero to await her punishment when
/ left.
My friend" said I, You know would not
interfere in the government of your child, but,
in her absence, let me remind you that she
came to you asking for some paper
TO cut and you cast her aside. Had
you then given her something to do
the tempter would not have enticed her into
mischief"
Listen to the wishes of the little ones. Do
not put them off till they can be taught to re-
member that older ones must be cared for first,
and instead of sapping the little hands, even
when erring, kiss them when they have done
well, and refuse the kiss when they have been
wicked. Soon you will see that the kiss will do
for them what unkind treatment never would
Learn the great luxury of doing good; and, sis
tiers, think more Of Frightening the lives of the
the little ones given to your keeping than of
using the rod to enforce obedience. God pity
the mother who cannot govern herself! How
can she rightly govern her childy Do not wait
till the little hands at rest TO fill them with
flowers, or till the loving hearts are still ere
you bestow the words of endearment and praise
They will fall more sweetly on the listening ear
than on the closed coffin lid. Fill their lives
with sweetness now while you may.

"Do you feel sore this morning,

husband last Sunday. Sore? MOI"
he said, loftily. "What would make
me sore?" why, you rolled down two
pairs of stairs last night, when you
came home from the ratification meet
ing, and had to get James to help me
carry you up. l thought you felt sore,
maybe Rush of blood to the head"
he said. "I'll go and get some medi-
cine right away, before / eat bit of

Horticulture.


One of the finest plants for winter blooming
is the carnation. The color of the flower at
tracts the eye and its fragrance is delicious.
Their cultivation is very simple. They are
easily rooted from cuttings from the small side
shoots, when about two inches in length, any
time from October to April, and, az they are
nearly hardy, they can be set out i'm the
open ground in May, and if they have been ac-
customed to air every day-"hardening off" as
gardeners term it-previous to setting out they
will stand a breeze unnjured Plant them in
beds of four rows each, ten inches apart and
the same between the plants in the row. Keep
down weeds, and the soil mellow by frequent
use of the hoe. In October put them into four
inch pots, using rich soil, or, what my expert
once proves is better, plant them in
boxes of soil six inches deep. Keep
them in temperature of s. to 90
deg: at night, and Is to 20 deg more
by day. They are very impatient of a wet soil.
and will not bear much water very good
substitute for the carnation is found in the
double pink, which will bloom in winter from
seed sown now. Send two stamps and get
some. Procure shallow box, say three inches
deep. Fill with good soil, and a little sand
mixed in it to keep it porous Now, with a
good fiat board, press down the earth level.
sprinkle ii if dry, and SOW the seeds thinlv
With common meal sieve sift on sufficient soil
to barely cover the seed. Put i'm the dark till
termination commences; then bring into the
window. BE careful, in watering, to give only
when the seedlings appear dry.
To keep dah,ias, gladiolus, cannas, Madeira
vines, etc, through the winter: When the
leaves are killed by frost, take up the bulbs
and tubers, shake the soil off, put in shed for
a few days till they dry out somewhat Then

on his arrival here:

the editor, his Partially for Cinnamon and
his unqualified %disapproval OF the act
whereby the miners of Storey county pro
tected themselves against the employment
of Chinese in the mines.
We impeach Rollin NJ. Daggett, Repub-
lican candidate for Congress, for having
reduced the wages Of the printers OF storey

Union Leagne. Carson City-My Dear Sir /:
On receipt of this communication | trust
that you will, at your earliest convenience,
convene your League and accept this as
my resignation as presiding officer of the
same.
Perhaps it might not be improper for me
to state that | have always deemed it an
honor to represent my race in any capacity.
and my race throughout this State and
California have my heartfelt thanks for all
favors ! have ever received. But, sir, be-
fore us is an important battle--'tis not II
battle against wrong, but one where might
makes right.
The Republican party, depending upon
its past record, would herd us as sheep, to
d its bidding. They symPathize with US
individually and damn us politically ! Cor
ruption has made of it an bideous monster.
We must seek our friends if we wonld be
true to our prosperity, and to the Demo-
cratic party |, AZ a colored man, confide
my future hope. But / remain your
obedient servant, gro. ii. ROGERS.
