The early reports are confirmed,
aud Colorado goes to the column of
Radical victorps-rathcr, we NAV
say. II is the column. In that dis.
tant and improperly admitted state
of the | mon there was an actual
Republican gain. The miners out
there probably thought, from the
terrific talk of Conkling and others
about coin, that the Democrats were
attempting to demonetize both gold
and silver, aud allow nothing but
greeubacks to pass as money.

The Boss Questions Seller.

We clip the following amusing
passage, fixing the guilt of trafilck-
ing in examination questions on
young Carr, son Of the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction, from
the testimony of Thomas b. Clery
before the San Francisco Board of
Education:
Mr.. Taylor-Didn't she mention
any names?
Mr.. Clery-She said something
about tthat-that-w what's his name?
the fellow who has just been
here - the boss question seller.
Loud and prolonged laughter.1
Mr.. Taylor - You mean Mr..
Ewald?
Mr.. Clery-Yes, that's the man.
[ am not worth cent for remem-
tering names.
Mr.. Taylor-Did the yelled lady
tell you where she got her ques.
tions?
Mr.. Clery-She sold me that Mr..
Piebald = loud laughterl - err
Ewald-had got the questions, and
was selling them to Jewsicks
laughter] for 500 and $3.50 and
was peddling them out to the whites
for 5000.
l asked her where the questions
came from, and she said that she
got them direct from young man,
the son of what's his name, there +?
"A man who used to go around the
country lecturing on yeast powder
the fellow who had something to
do with the Changers and the Uni
versity-why, what's his name :?
He lectured all over the country on
yeast powders. Roars of laugh
ter. Carr-Dr. Carr-yes, that's
the name. Well, she said she got
the questions direct from Sacra-
mento from young Carr. [Sensa-
tion.
Mr.. Taylor-Do you know this
DR.. Carr?
Mr. Clery-Well, pve heard of
him. He used to be over to the
University, and went about attend
ing Granger meetings aud telling
the Changers how to make yeast
powder. Ewald, she said, paid 5000
per set to parties in Sacramento,
and retailed the questions here.
Mr.. Sullivan-Did you help your
wife much on those questions?
Mr.. Clery-I had q good head Of
hair before she began on me. Loud
laughter, the witnesss' crown now
being as bald as a billiard-ball.l
Mr.. Clery, in closing, said that he
had heard that the questions could
be got in Alameda for 800 per set.

Progress Eastward.

Since our last writing nothing OF
general Importance has transpired
upon the line and construction of
the Southern Pacific extension.
The work is daily progressing at q
general average of mile each day.
Up to last Saturday night track
had been laid for the distance of
nine and half miles, and at this
writing wednesday, the track had
been laid for twelve miles. This
brings the working terminus of the
road from three to four miles from
Gila City, where, we have hereto
fore mentioned, the first heavy
work, which is long and deep cut,
Is to be encountered. Working par
ties are already IN advance and
prosecuting grading still further
ahead. On Tuesday last the sur
veyors, Messrs. Bates and Curry,
established their survey camp at
Gila City, and from this point will
push onward ahead of the construc-
ton forces. The whole force of
workingmen are now being dis.
tributed along the line and m ore
rapid progress will be made. The
surveying party under Mr.. Hood,
who has been located at Tucson for
some months past, has broken
camp and is now prosecuting its
surveys toward Messila on the
Rio Grande. Taking prospective
view of the surveys and move
ments of this company, it is GER
tain that 1t intends to continue its
line of construction through to the
East. 1t is safely presumed that,
at the poesent rate of construction
and increased facilities, by twelve
months hence the building of the
road will have reached Tucson

AFTERNOON SESSION.
A Problem Long Since Solved.

How 10 remedy those prolific causes of
disease, an impoverished circulation and
an impaired digestion, was a problem the
solution of which had often baffied med
ical skill, but which was solved over a
quarter of q century ago by the introduce
ton of HOstetter's Stomach Bitters TO
public and professional notice. Since
that time. which may we'll be said to
have initiated q new epoch in the histo-
ry of medicine, the remedy and preven-
tive referred to has obtained foothold
in the confidence of the Amerlcan people
that each succeeding year has only
throughout the Union as a tonic OF the
first order, remedy for and sure means
of preventing fever and ague and disor-
ders of the stomaehand bowels; as re-
liable means of reforming disordered
state of the liver and OF oounteractlng Il

"Why," said she, as they stood
watching the prisoners eat dinner
on Blackwell's Island Why,n
she asked, as she violently famed
herself and pulled her seal skin
sack more closely around her
"Why are those soldiers standing
around the tables, like Paradise?'
She raised her parasol triumphant
ly and moved toward the stove.
One by one they took a guess at it
and gave it up. "Because," said
Me-"Give it up?-every one of
you? Because they're a guardin'
a-feedin'." And they wept with
modification, and said such n pun
was too abominable.

HOME CONVERSATIONAL TRAINING

There is no nation more fluent in con-
versation than the American. The
French are more voluble, perhaps, their
language permitting greater rapidity of
pronunciation than the English. Our
best ConverSationalists are not rapid talk
erS. One trouble with us is, each one
likes to do all the talking, therefore
Americans are not good listeners. But
mere talking is not conversation, In
almost all home circles there is much
talking done during the day, but We fear
there are few who do not reserve their
most brilliant conversational powers for
other assemblageS than the home group.
Many father comes home tired he has
worked hard and talked great deal,
told amusing anecdotes, displayed much
wit. He has come home to rest. He
takes out his paper, and is soon oblivi-
Gus to everything around him. Wife
would like to tell him many of the ha-
RAISING Affections of the day, and would
like to hear some of his interesting ex-
periences, but if he were a deaf mute he
could not be more silent, only an occa-
sional grunt answering her many attempts
at conversation and the children, ex-
cept the good night kiss, and often not
even that, are not noticed. Such
home, whether the abode of wealth or
otherwise, cannot be a healthy and hap
py ono, AS a parallSl, draw around the
evening lamp of another home circle
The father tells the anecdotes from the
papers as he reads thems mother laughs
her sweet, low laugh, and the children
burst into merry ha has! To watch
them as they ask questions, and listen
to the answers and patient explanations,
the wonderment, interest, and thought
imprinted on their young faces, is pic
ture for an artist. This home education
is a heritage more valuable than land or
money; and one beautiful recompense
in like is, that in making others happy
we bring happiness to ourselves, Pa
rents who practice self-depial, and en-
deavor, by cheerful conversation and
playful wit, to enliven home life will
reap rich reward in the better thoughts
and nobler actions of their children, and
will experience the truest and best con-
tentment themselves,
