Nevada's Biggest Nugget.

FROM John VerZan, who arrived from
Osceola on Saturday last, we learn the
following concerning the greatest mass
of gold yet discovered in Nevada: The
golden mass, when first found, was
thrown into a pile of waste earth, and
there it lay undisturbed for several
weeks. Finally it was carried by pack
animal, along with the thief's camp fix
ings, into Ward, where it was melted
into small bars. The piece, before melt
ing, weighed just twenty-four pounds
and fifteen ounces avoirdupois, and, as
it contained but very little quartz, its
actual coin value must have been at
least "a, 900. The finder of this truly
wonderful specimen was man who had
been under many obligations to Mr..
Verzan, his employer and the principal
owner in the mine. When Verzan met
the thief in Ward he greeted his late
employe cordially, as an old friend, and
offered him assistance, supposing him to
be in need. This was too much. The
thief, pale and haggard, met Mr.. Verzan
the next morning. He said that he had
passed restless days and sleepless nights
long enough that he was willing to
give up all that remained of the stolen
property for simple forgiveness, for one
nights rest, for one meal unalloyed by
the thought that it was purchased with
stolen goods. Then he told the story
of the nugget, as given above, mean
while dropping into the hands of the

Den1h in His Faxorite Robe.

The mortuary statistics of the whole civil
lied world show that about one-tifth of all
mankind die of consumption alone, and the
number of deaths due to consumption bears a
greater ratio to the whole number than that
of any other three diseases together. More
over, investigation proves that this ratio is
steadily increasing. Its increasing prevalence
has led to the popular belief that consumption
is incurable. Every year hundreds of these
sufferers seek, in the sunny retreats of Florida
or the dry atmosphere of Colorado, for health
and find only grave. The influence of the
atmosphere the only remedialagent that either
Florida or Colorado can afford the consump-
tive-is at best only pdlljdtiVe. The cure of
consumption depends upon two essential con-
ditions LIST, the arrest of the abnormal break
ing down of the tissues, which prevents enact
alton, and I'd, the restoration of healthy nutri-
tion in order to stop the formation of tuber-
culous matter. Fulfill these conditions, and
consumption is as durable as fever To fulfill
these conditions the required remedy must in
crease the appetite, favor the assimilation of
food, and enrich the blood, thus retarding the
development of tubercles To accomplish this,
a more powerful Alternative than DIR. Perce's
Golden Medical Discovery has never been dis
covered. At the same time it soothes the If
ritation of the nervous system produced by
violent coughing, which, in its turn, so often
leads to more serious results. Theuse of sex
pectorants" in consumption is absolutely sui
cidaL For while removing the tubercles al
ready formed, they produce yet more serious
results by intlaming and destroying the sound
and healthy tissues. Consumption requires
remedy that will soothe while it relieves; harsh
medicines but add fuel to the flame that al
ready threatens to consume the system. The
Golden Medical Discovery fulfills these condi-
tons, and has been pronounced the best rene
dy yet discovered to allay and arrest consump-
ton.

The Telegraph Business.

Mr.. w. j. JOHNSTON, speaking of
the early days of the electric telegraph
in a work on telegraphic matters called
Lightning Flashes" says: The first
public telegraph line in this country
was erected in 1874, and from Balti-
more to Washington. In the following
year-thirty-three years ago-a single
wire was erected to an obscure Office
beneath the Express Office at 16 Wall
street, New York, and two wires from
Washington terminated in a small room
over the ferry-house in Jersey City,
where three operators easily and not
very continuously performed the whole
telegraphic business of the city of New
York. The entire telegraphic system
of the United Kingdom consisted at the
same time of single line to Nine Elms
and small office at 334 Strand, Lon
don

Light Your Stables.

Dark stables are an abomination and
should not be tolerated. There is no
necessity to sacrifice comfort, either
in winter or summer, to secure enough
light A horses eyes are enlarged
the pupil of the eyes is-by being kept
in dark stable. He has the harness
put on him and suddenly brought out
into the bright, glazing sunlight, which
contracts the pupil so suddenly as to
cause extreme pain. By persevering
in this very foolish and injudicious as
well as cruel practice the nerves of the
eyes become impaired, and if continued
long enough loss of sight will ensue.
To see how very painful it is to face a
bright light after having been in the
dark, talk walk some dark night for
a short time, till the eye becomes ac-
customed to the darkness, then drop sud-
denly into some well-lighted room, and
you will be scarcely able to see for few
moments in the sudden light. You
know how painful it is to yourself, then
why have your horse repeatedly to bear
such unnecessary pain? A dark stable
is invariably damp one, and such
stables we are not yet willing to put
either q valuable working or driving
horse in. Give good ventilation, let the
sunshine and the air have a chance to
effect an entrance, and your stables will
be purer and more healthy.

Washers for Fruit Trees.

INSECTS and mildew injurious to the
leaves of fruit tree seedlings and root
gratis can be kept in subsection or de-
Stroyed by free use of the following
combination of lime and sulphur: Take
of quick or unslacked lime four parts,
and of common flour of sulphur one
part; break up the lime in small pieces,
then mix the sulphur with it in an iron
vessel, pour on them enough boiling
water to slack the lime to powder:
cover the vessel close as soon as the
water is poured on. This makes most
excellent whitewaSh for orchard trees,
and is very useful as a preventive of
blight on pear trees, to cover the
wounds in the form of paste when
cutting away diseased parts, also for
coating the trees in early spring.
1t may be considered as specific for
many noXious insects and mildew in
the orchard and nursery; its materials
should always be ready at hand; it
should be used quite fresh, since it soon
loses its potency. This preparation
should be sprinkled over the young
plant as soon or before any trouble
=,
early in the morning while the dew is
on the trees. This lime and sulphur
combination is destructive to these nests
in this way by giving off gaseous sui
phurous compounds, which are deadly
poison to minute life, both animal and
fungoid; while the lime destroys by
contact the same things, and its pres
ence is noXious to them. In moderate
quantities it is not injurious to common
vegetable life.
Another recipe for a wash for orchard
trees is to put one-half bushel of lime
and four pounds of powdered sulphur
into a tight barrel, Stacking the lime
with hot water, the mouth of the barrel
being covered with cloth; this is re-
duced to the consistency of ordinary
whitewash, and one-half ounce of car
bolic acid is added to each gallon of
liquid at the time of application. APP
ply to the trunk; it will nOt hurt the
branches or foliage if applied to them
also.
An experienced fruit-grower recon-
mends the use of the following simple
method: He takes I've from wood ashes
or common potash, mixes little grease
with it, heats quite warm, and with a
little syringe throws it up into all parts
of the trees, branches and trunk 1t
will effectually kill all kinds of cater
pillars and worms that are infesting the
tree or running over the bark. Trees
treated in this manner are exceedingly
healthy and vigorous in appearance,
possessing a smooth, glossy bark

"A Methodist Bishop in Texas en-
joined young clergymen against marry
ing too young, and in the course of his
remarks made the following observa-
tons: Young preachers with clean
shirt-fronts and finger-nails are above
par, but should remain single until
they had finished their studies. If a
young minister marries beautiful
young lady, he must love her, and, low
ing her, he must talk to her, and, talk
ing to her, he must spend time he ought
to give to his stutlies.'

differences between what the Secretaries
collected and their salaries and eX-

BE Liberal to Your Farms.

Be liberal to your farms and they will
be liberal to you. A farm is very
much in one respect like looking
glass-it reflects the character of the
owner exactly. If he is parsimonious
his farm will show it. If he is a man
of taste, his buildings, fences and gen
eral arrangements of his farm will tell
the tale. No effort on his part to dis
guise his real thoughts or sentiments
willavail anything so long as the opera
tons of his farm belle his words.
The farmer who invests freely in his
farm is sure to be well paid for his
risk and trouble. Liberality in provid-
ing utensils, says the Western Rural, is
the saving of both time and labor. The
more perfect the farmers tools the
more profitable are they. So, also, it
is withs his working cattle and his
stock. The most perfect in their kinds
are most profitable Liberality in good
barns and warm shelter is the source of
health, strength and comfort to ami
mails, causes them to thrive on less food,
and secures from damage all sorts of
crops.
Liberality also in the provision of
food for domestic animals is the source
of flesh, muscle and manure. Liberal
ity to the earth, in seed, culture and
compost, is the source of its beauty
Thus it is in agriculture as in every
part of creation, wise and paternal
Providence has inseparably connected
our duty and our happiness. In rails
ing animals, the condition of success is
kindness and benevolence toward them

Loves Young Dream.

A bridal couple, with more style
about them than usual, honoredthe
Indiana House with their presence
two or three days during the past week.
They gave the dining-room a mighty
tony look by marching in at meal time
arrayed in their new clothes, with white
gloves on, and when old Ryman first
saw them he took one square look and
then sat down his coffee-pot and went
out into the kitchen and laughed until
his eyeballs felt pointed. In that SUI
preme moment he felt that he was paid
ten times over with compound interest
for all the trials, veXations and unpaid
board bills encountered in his hotel ex-
perience since he left the old farm.
When the dining-room girl got her
face straight enough to get behind their
chairs and say
Roast beef, roast pork, lamb, chick

The bridegroom said: Chicken an

istic presence of mind for which her sex
has ever been noted, interposed:

widgy, 'twould muss our gloves up?

say to roast beef, then, huXy-puxy? Can
we GO some O that, sweety?" asked the
happy man.
No, no, darby. It's always tough,
and we might splash the gravy and soil
our clothes, don't you see, honey-dew?
Let's take lamb, pootsie; that's always
tender. | don't care much about it,
but it cuts so easy, lovey, and expect
their knives are as dull as a hoe" re-
marked the bride.
"Well, don't care, pussy; whatever
you say, for | s'pose we've got to keep
up appearances; but hang my buttons,

ed big notion to peel off these mittens
an wade into some O that ere chicken
