"THE WONDERS OF NEVADA. ~

Before us is a thirtytwo page pamphlet,
''The Wonders of Nevada" intended as a
guide for tourists to the great silver mines of
the Comstock, the towns, lakes, and noun
tains of Western Nevada. 1t is printed by
Mr. Sutherland of the Enterprise book and
job printing Office, the reading matter being
furnished by Dan De guile. 1t is well
filed with facts and figures for visitors to
these parts 1t contains descriptions of Reno,
Steamboat Springs, Carson City, and, in
brief, gives a satisfactory account of all points
of interest between Reno and Virginia City,
devoting about six descriptive pages to the
latter place The description of Lake Bigler
is briefly but accurately given, embracing
Glenbrook, Shakespeare Rock, Rowland's s, Cave
Rock, Yanks, Silver and Falling Leaf lakes,
Emerald and Carneian bays, Tahoe City
and McKinneys The sketch of Carson is
historically correct, and is well written, but
the author has been too liberal in the matter
Of population, giving us 1000, which, to be
honest, is more than We are entitled to. 1.-The
Wonders Of Nevada is a well printed pam
phlet, convenient as to size, contains much
useful information for parties " doing this
part of the world, and is furnished without
money and without price The " nutriment'
for the publisher must be in advertisements.
Ten thousand copies will soon be issued,
which will afford advertisers good chance to
get before the people.

LIVELY TIMES AT DAYToN.-A friend from
Dayton reports lively condition of things in
that portion of Lyon county. Two wood
drives are being taken out there, and the
wood drivers are making it very jolly for
Dayton. Whisky flows freely, "keerds" are
| sought after, and Spring fights are in full
blossom. A wood-dr is an event in the
life of Dayton. A short anecdote probably
applies here A whisky man, from Hopkins
creek, Cal, once made application to Tom
Gilligan, of Marysvlle, to purchase a supply
of liquors for his saloon. After the necessary
credentials had been produced, and the goods
we're sold and delivered, Tom enquired about
the mining prospects of Plumas generally, and
Hopkins creek particularly, as to the length
Of the mining season, and asked other peril
nent questions. g Misther Gilligan," said
the gentleman from the mountains, " might
as well be frank wild We The mines is purity
well pied out But the b'ys clane up the
bedrock when the wather gets law, about
August, an then | get party of hurdy-gur-
dies over from Gibsonvile, an between the
girls an me the b'ys haven't much left in two
weeks Man aloive But business is rushin
then, an it would do yer heart good to see
the bys enjoyin' themselves. That bill of
goods got ON the wrong side of Gilligan's
profit and loss account, but he always en-
joyed the joke.

Matrimonial PcculiarilieS.

Matrimony presents here and there in
teresting peculiarities. A bridegroom
in Herkimer county, N. Y, unable to
relish the fun of discordant serenade
on the wedding night, got out of bed
and shot through the window at the SER
enaders, wounding three of them. A
Mormon has just married, at one swoop,
a mother and her daughter. Has he a
mother-in-law? A miner returned from
California to Michigan to marry the girl
he left behind him. He announced that
he was commissioned also to pick out a
girl for his mining partner, and take
her to him to wed. After careful pros
pecting, he made q choice, and the
chosen damsel has gone with the welded
pair to California to meet her future
husband. Kepler and Stevens traded
wives at Upton, Iowa, two years ago,
the latter getting 500 on account of the
wife that he gave being far handsomer
than the one he received. Stevens has
since grown wealthy, and his lawful wife
seeks to reinstate herself. Sally, Piute
princess, in Nevada, married a white man
and returned with him to her tribe. The
indignant Indians shaved his head, whip
ped him soundly, and drove him back
into civilization. A Troy clergyman
publishes complaint that the pay re-
ceived for marriage services is not ade-
quate, considering the risk that is incur
red in uniting couples against the wishes
of their families. He says that the fees
generally range from 81 to So. Recently
he rode ten miles into the country, spent
d whole day, paid SIS for the use of a
horse, and received $l.25.

They Met in Kansas.
From the Be1oit (kan.) Gazett

Some twelve years ago, in the back
woods of Michigan, young man by the
name of Donovan married young lady,
and for while all went we'll; but soon
family cares began to gall and fret him
and he struck out fer the west, leaving
his wife to care for herself and one child.
For five years he wandered about, and
finally married again and settled in the
southern part of this county. From this
marriage three children were born, but
last fall the woman sickened and died,
leaving him and the little children alone
upon his prairie home. In the meantime
his first and real wife in Michigan, after
waiting five years for him to return, con-
Guided him to be dead and also married
again, and last winter started west with
their family of four children, one being
the child OF the first marriage, and by
some unknown fatality came to this
county and settled within one-half mile
of Donovan, the woman's real husband.
1t was not long before the woman and
her truant husband met, much to the
establishment of each other, and now the
two families are living in one house,
the woman and her last husband keep.

Jewels of the Grown OF Scotland.

At Edinburg, Scotland, some years
since, the Jewels of the crown were locked
in box, that box in another, and so on,
until they were supposed to be burglar
proof. They were then locked up IN the
vault of the castle, there to remain for one
hundred years, the keys being placed in a
mortar and fired into the sea. Scarce fity
wears passed by, and the modern lock-
picker open the vault and boxes without
trouble. So the science of me- dicine, when
studied with the aid of chemistry, and the
microscope, becomes plain and simple, and
diseases that were regarded incurable gem
Grafton ago, now readily yield to remedies
employed by the modern and progressive
physician i decade OF years since, and
women were taught to believe that their
pecuiiar diseases and weaknesses were in
durable; but now hundreds and thousands
of once bedridden women in the United
States will testify to the fact that DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription has effected
their perfect and permanent cure.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 9Th, 1876.
DR.. r. " PIERCE, Buffalo, n. Y:
Dear Sir-About five years since my wife
| was taken sick, and though We employed
the best physicians in our city, yet she
| gradually grew worse, so that she was con-
! fined 10 the bed. Every remedy had tried,
or could find, failed to cure or even give re-
lief. At last | procured a bottle of your
Favorite Prescription and to my surprise
it gave almost instant relief, and with little
| perseverance, an entire cure was elected.
Ever gratefully yours,

NOTHING new TO be said about round
hats.
NEW wells are narrow black net pieces
to be worn like amasque veil. The low
or edge is hemmed, and has light fringe
Of fine chenille, and there are dots Of
chenille all over it.
The fan back Of the simple and mar
row lower skirt gives most graceful
curve, if it is full enough below and
drawn closely together at the top. Three
full breadths of single width goods are
used.
The French coat, pleated overskirt
and demi-trained fan skirt is very ele-
CANT French model for handsome dresses,
and indeed, plain materials made up by
this pattern will appear very handsome.
VERY MISUNDERSTANDING bonnets
are of the new Manila straw, lined with
pale blue velvet, and trimmed with mas
tic gray watered ribbon, and pearl col
ored ostrich plume, with pearl beads
down the middle of the plume; q tea

low on each side, while a panache Of
three small black ostrich tips and an
aigrette Of beige color trim the top.

GOSSIP FOR THE IADIES.
A Life's Regret.

Turning the leaves in an Idle way
OF n book was skimmng the ether day,
found line at the end OF n song,
Which keeps on haunting me all day long
With its weet and mOurnful melody:
80 love, my love, had you loved but mel"
Sadder burden could never be
Than love, my love, had you loved bat mel"
Few words and simp'e but, o, how much
The singer has told in that little touch
How hard story of chances lost,
Is heard in the whispered melody:
CT love, my love, had you loved but me!'
To many a sorrow the key may be
That love, my love, had you loved but mel"
don't believe in what poets have said
Of hearts that are broken and lives that are dead
Lives well ordered will stand to their course,
And hearts of true metal ring little the worse,
But-they vibrate still to that melody:
81 love, my love- had you loved but me!''
My life is well; but what would it be,
Sweet love, my love, had you loved but mel"
The world rolls on and the years roll by,
Day-draams vanish and memories die;
But it surges up with a restless pain,
That fond lost longing ever again,
Breathed in the passionate melody:
" o love, my love- had you loved but me!'
1t might have been, but it CanUot be
Yet love, my love, had you loved but me"

UDium.Eating.

Opium-eating is the live issue in the
Shenandoah valley of Virginia. A local
paper has been investigating, and reports
that the habit is frightfully prevalent,
insomuch that the drug stores of Staun-
ton, place of 10000 inhabitants retail
about 100 pounds week, many OF their
best customers being young ladies of
+" the first families" while storekeepers
in the country find their trade in the
drug so increased Of late that they are
now purchasing of wholesale houses at
the north. The excitement aroused by
the exposure has been famed by the
rather tragic death of a Harrisonb burg
woman, who had sent two horses to be
sold, in order to raise money to buy NOR
phine, and was SO overcome when she
saw the man returning without having
made the trade, that she fell to the floor
and died in a few hou1s. 4 public meet.
ing has been held at Staunton to organize
public sentiment against the vice, and a
petition to the legislature is being nu m
erously signed, asking for hesvy tax on
opium. The introduction of the bell
punch, which has raised the price OF
&c drink is held to be partly responsible
for the spread of the evil.

AninitieS.

The Rev. Joseph Cook undertook to
wrestle with a very tough question
recently-that of elective atfinities.
Here is one remark:
We must make a distinction between
fancy and love; but one of the most
Infamous things in modern society is a
constant overriding of this distinction
tampering, dallying, without serious
intentions. l have spoken of the impor-
lance Of opportunities of acquaintance,
such as Horace Bushnell wanted, be-
tween the manageable classes; but you
must not suppose that | am not forget
ting the wisdom of the usual precautions
of society. Experience lies behind
them. If man cannot solemnly, in the
court of his inner nature, answer in the
affirmative when he is asked whether
these tests can be borne successfully by
his alleged affection, let him remember
that he is young yet. He needs guard
ians. The precautions of society are
none too serious in this one.
Among the twenty propositions, or
submerged stepping-stones, on which he
would set foot in fording the deep water
in the centrai-stream of this topic Of
effective Affinities," were the followings
|. Willingness to renew an engage
ment if it be supposed to be broken of.
2. Enforced tendency to form reso-
luton never to belong to another.
3. The transmutation of selfishness
into delight in self-sacrifice for the per-
son loved.
4. The interchange Of eyes in many
moods.
5. The opinion of friends who know
the whole case.
10. Opportunity to know the worst of
each other.
These are some of the more important
considerations to be kept in view by per-
sons about to commit matrimony; but it
is proper to say that considerable
number of people have fallen in love, got
married and lived happily ever after
ward who wouldn't have had the faintest
idea of what Mr.. Cook was driving at
with his submerged stepping stones"
And, to tell the honest truth, we are not
sure that we quite grasp the gentleman s
meaning ourselves when he speaks of the
interchange of eyes in many moods"
If both parties were so unfortunate as to
wear glass eyes the expression would
seem perfectly ineligible, but we believe
Mr.. Cook meant something else.-Buf-

FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
An Easter Poem.



Bursting from earth in air of early spring,
| found lily growing sweet and wild
And plucked the blossom, snowy fair, to bring,
As type of resurrection, to my child;
With it to show
How out of death divinest life might grow.
I told her then what Easter meant, and why
There seemed such giadness in the world to reign
Why clear-yoiced Choirs sang so exultingiy
Tie joyful anthem Christ Is risen again!"
That, dying, He
Had taken from the grave its victory.
" Because He died and rose again, l said,
'The dark and shadowy valley none need fear;
The little brother that to you seemed dead
Was only on Christs bosom heavenly near;
There is no tomb
Can prison or hide the souls immortal bloom"
0! impotence OF words! Who can explain
This wondrOus mystery And yet, perchance,
Through one white lily on Gods altar lain
My child may grasp the flowers significance,
And kneeng say,
- little child doth yield her heart to-day!'
