WANTED A MAN TO SIT WITH SAL
Yesterday afternoon n green looking
couple, evidently newly married, called al
the photograph gallery of Beals & Water
house, and wanted their pictures taken.
Just us Mr.. Beals had got the plate ready
the man called him aside and said he
wanted to ask favor. 81 was told in
Carson you took the best pictures in the
state. Now you see Sal and got hitched
down there last Monday; now, her folks
go great deal on style, and they live in
the states. They never saw me. and if |
send my mug back east they'll be dead
agin me sure. I'm darned sight better
than | look, and when people come to
know me they vote me brick Now
what want is to get some good lookin'
man to sit with Sal for picture. WIN
you stand in? She's willin'. Them big
whiskers of yours'll catch en- sure and
create harmony. You look like n solid
capitalist, and they'll take me for petit
larceny thief" Mr.. Beals enjoyed the
idea i'm mensely. and sat with Sui ;, for a
picture which will doubtless carry ioy into
the household of the eastern relatives in
week or so.- Virgsnta City Chronicle.

CORRECT SPEAKING.-We advise nil
young people to acquire in early life the
habit OF using good laugnage, both in
speaking and writing, and also to abandon
the use of slang words and phrases. The
longer they live, the more difficult the ac-
QUESTION of good language will be, and if
the golden a. of youth-the proper time
for the acquisition of language-be passed
in its abuse, the unfortunate victim of neg
lecled education is very probably doomed
to talk slang for life. Money is not neces-
stry to procure this education. Every
man has it in his power. He has merely
to use the language which he reads. in
stead of the slang which he hears. to form
his taste from the best speakers and poets
Of the country; to treasure up choice
phrases in his memory, and hahituate linn
self to their use, avoiding at the same time
mat pedantic precision and bombast which
show rather the weakness of vain ambi-
ion than the polish Of an educated mind.

| Mr., Edison has made a contract with
the western union telegraph company, by
which all his electrical and magnetic in.
ventions become the property of the COM
pany. These include the telephone,
which the company considers the most
useful telephone invented 1t can be used
with wire in close proximity with other
wires without picking up confusing sounds
coming from other sources, or giving up
the secrets of messages conveyed by it to
other telephone wires. The company
hopes to establish telephone communcl-
tions with at least four thousand towns,
too small to support the expense of tel
egraph operator. The system will be
such that any one having access TO a tele-
phone can. in Il few minutes time, be put
into communication with any one else
having such access, and the two can con-
verse in entire confidence without the in
tervention of even an operator. Telephon-
ic clubs will bring the privileges of tele-
phonc communication to almost every
one.

When to this it is added that trees modify

fRESBNT NTEklANl~N ~. CATHoIlCISN-A reSO-
Mll"D was adopted IN The Presbyterian synod
Yesterday which viii throw upon the general
assembly The alternate 0f affirming or reDudiat-
ing the article IN The confession of Faith which
declares the Pope Of Rome To be anli-C hfisJ "
the man OF sin and son of petdition.~ etc. The
question has been raised as 10 whether con-
vert from the Roman Catholic church can be
received into The Presbyterian church without
being again baptized. When an overture ON
the subject was presented TO the general as
sembly in 1875 il eYaded the issue by referring
the matter OF rebaptisln 10 the discretion OF the
church sessions when a case should be pre-
scented Tor their action. The synod of Baltf-

deilnlte conclusion. and the resolution was
passed by vote OF II 10 43. OF course this

QUESTION presented TO them was as 10 the pro-
pfiety of sending up the overture
