DEATHS.

Died The 2d of Sepcmber after short and pain
fu illness which she bore with Christian fortitude
Mrs CATHERINE HEPPERT, i'll the twenty
second year of her age.
We stood around KATIE'S dying bed,
We saw her blue eyes close:
While from her heart the pulses iicd,
And from her check the rose.
And sill her lips iu fondness moved,
Ard still she strove 10 speak
TO the mournful beings that she loved,
And vet SHE was too weak.
Till ut last from her eye came one bright ray
That bound us like Il spell;
And as her spirit passed away
We sighed and said - Farcwell.'
Nav she rest in peace.

| (For the Dispatch
| A GnIufsOp Of The Financial Question

Let the Government issue Treasury notes,
which, added to the present circulating
metallic currency, would be liberal sup
ply for the wants OF the country. This
issue should cancel United States bonds,
and thereby save the interest that is now
paid upon the present issue that is based
upon United States Understanding bonds.
This new issue, which is to absorb the pre-
sent paper currency, should be stamped
with all the value Of gold and silver, re-
ceivable for all dues created in the United
States. public or private, and redeemaDle III
gold and silver in the following way-VlZ.:
As the gold and silver are drawn from the
mines and coined by the United states INTO
money, and thus pass into circulation, tue
United States should sell bonds for lreasury
notes to that amount, after making que al
loyance for the natural increase OF the
country; thus drawing from circulation
that amount OF Treasury notes, and thereby
keepinr the currency stable. This process
would, in the course OF time, retire all the
Treasury notes by the influx OF gold and
silver, and so create pure metallic currency.
Now. to make this available the Treasury
should, upon all deposits OF goldand silver,
issue notes to that amount, dollar for dol
lar. and thus have metallic dollar to rep
resent every one in paper.
1t may be argued that as the metals are
coined so would the national debt increase !;
but it should not be forgotten that the bonds
are bought by its own funds.
Now, having. established uniform cur
rency for the entire country, would have
the interest also uniform, and that it should
| not exceed six per cent.
The banking institutions Of the country
I would have confined to the several States
in their organization and management, SO
that the United States shall be entirely sew
cred from them, controlling only its own
funds, that should not be allowed to accu-
mulate, but disbursed as fast as collected.

Tranlps.

Advices from the line of the railroad
inform US that the spring campaign
of the tramps has fairly opened. That
highway is swarming with these
bashi bazouks, and a portion of the
army turn off at Palisade and head for
Eureka. Along the route of their
travel and among the communities
that they visit, the complaint of their
~depredations are universal. Their ad-
vent is a signal for an era for petty
thievery, and to their presence WI owe
these annoying pilferings, such as
breaking into cabins and cellars, the
devastation of hen roosts and strip
ping of clothes lines. The cowardly,
impudent hounds have begun to haunt
private dwelling houses, where they
frighten timld wome by sturdy de-
mands for meals. There is little doubt
but that the community will be infested
with this undesirable class during the
coming season unless some energetic
and systematic course is adopted to
stamp outthe evil.

An Aggravating Theft.

1t is a%ggravating for a man to come
home to his cabin after a days work
and find chat some lazy thief has taken
advantage of his absence to steal his
property and make away with his
hard earned accumulations. At least,
the above was the sentiment of Hugh
Carlin, of Ruby Hill, last Wednesday
morning, when he found himself a
sufferer in that line. During his alb.
sence on the night shift. at the X X
Con mine, some predatory scoundrel
or ~scoundrels had broken into his
humbledomicile and made themselves
entirely at home. They had cooked a
meal, using the provisions stored in
Hugh's bountiful larder for hat pur-
pose; had ransacked the interior of the
cabin for valuables, and carried off
various articles. including a hne pocket
compass, a small sized revolver and
his best suit of clothes. 1t is the dis
appearance of the latter that causes the
owner to He had calculated
to attend the Centennial Guard ball,
and had procured the rig for that pur-
pose, having never worn it; hence his
disgust and wrath. There is no clue to
the thieves as far as heard from.

RaIianaIe Coal.

The Carson Tribune has the follow
ing: "A gentleman at Carlin writing,
to a friend in this city in relation to
the recently discovered coal mine at
Palisade, says it is exactly like the
great deposit at Carlin At the outcrop,
and the stratum of true coal at Pail
SADIE is four feet in thickness and we'll

the Palisade and Carlin coal beds

so small that his feet did not touch the
bottom of the light wagon, was sitting
intrusted with the reins, while his
father paid a brief visit to a residence
near by. The animal took fright at a
passing ore train, and started down
the street at a furious pace, but was
fortunately caught near the Metamoras
furnace by. Mr.. Albright. The boy
could do nothing else but cling to the

Capture Of a Fugitive.

Rumors have been ahoat in the
community for some time past, that
Joe Toomey-who it will be remem-
bered, took a hasty flight from town
while under arrest on a charge of cat
tie stealing-was in the neighborhood,
and, in fact, had been in Eureka on sew
eral different occasions after his abrupt
departure. Reports have been fire.
quently brought in that he had been
seen, but as it was always two or three
days previous that the incident had oc
CURED, and as he shifted quarters very
often, his exact hiding place could not
be determined. One fact is certain,
that after his departure he was inter
viewed by interested parties, and prom
lsed to give himself up, providing sat
factory arrangements could be con-
summated. They were not, and Joseph
again disappeared until Wednesday
evening, wben a telegram from the
Sheriff of Eiko county announced that
he had captured the fugitive at Toano.
Ii seems that he was driven to that
point from Ruby Valley on that day,
and boarded the East bound passenger
tram. The officers had been on the
watch for him a number of days, and
spotted him Immediately on his adj
vent. He did not deny his identity,
and was recognized by several person.
al acquaintances. He spent the night
