Comstock belle. He plays for even in the
following pointed manner at is very
amusing to watch the contortions Of some
Of our Virginia girls in a ballroom, cspcci-
ally those who. either by accident or a
superabundance Of hard cheek, have
worked themselves into society they are in
no sense fitted to belong. 1t is easy to
spot this shoddy class, il the reader will
attend a high toned ball or social in this
city. They are discernable by their tawdry
and t~asteless makeup, DO less than by their
affected and touch-me-not airs. If, per-
chance, an outside couple, no matter how
respectable, take q place in a set mainly
composed OF the females we refer to, they
extend the tips of their fingers to the gent
as though he were q leper, while the ele-
waited position Of their nasal organs is very
suggestive Of 80 many hat-pegs. A man
must at least be a brokers' clerk, or he is
totally ignored by these paint-and-powder
damsels, and il an outsider should acct.
d~entally run against one Of their big feet
in o ound dance, a hen convention assem-.
bles and steps are Immediately taken to
have tae cause Of the disaster removed
from the room. We sometimes incline to
the opinion that the young men who toady
to this shoddy business are more to blame
than the females, because the latter are
more or less excusable on account Of their
lamentable ignorance, while the former
must necessarily be endowed with a little
sense to hold the positions by which they
earn their daily bread"

mails. And we learn further that the Leg

upon the money. The members have
schemes on hand--so assert these same
veracious journals-which, if carried out,
will strip the Golfers of the State exchequer
as bare as q w~ell-gnawed bone. Among
the projects enumerated to accomplish this
result, are the erection Of an Insane
Asylum, a House Of Refuge, u School Of
Mines, and a Branch State Prison. II the
$500, 600 are put to no worse use. the State
will have something to show for the ex-
.penditure. But then, it is not at all un-
likely that a portion Of the amount will be
held in reservation for margins"

Was Murdered.
From the Gold Hill "News i" Of the 27th.I !
The inquest last evening BY Coroner
Hodges into the death Of Andrew Hour
gassen, found dead on the Gould q Curry
dump early Christmas morning, has done
nothing TO solve the mystery which sur
rounds his sudden taking off. The fact is,
that his death cannot be accounted for Is
an accident. Nothing but . dark suspicion
can meet all the facts. The testimony Of
the carman is positive that no wood was
thrown from the cars or tramway at the
time Mr.. Hourgassen was killed. II Is ut
terly impossible for the stick to have been
dumped with the rock in any event and
then have struck him where he was found
or any where near that spot. Ho never
consciously or unconsciously moved a yard
after he was hit and that wound made. He
may have quivefed, but he did mot move.
Nor il the stick theory is abandoned are
we any better of. Rock from the dump
could not have struck him within twenty
feet Of where he lay. The facts show that
the stick killed him, and that it did not
come from the mine, nor from the dump,
nor from the tramway.. There is but one
other theory upon which all the conditions
OF Mr.. Hourgasscn's death can be &C.
counted for.
That the stick killed him is undoubtedly
true, and since it could not have been
dumped with the rock, and was o thrown
down by the carman, it must be that it
was carried there by some person, and that
that ghastly wound was inflicted by that
person.
Nor is the motive waiting. Men often
quarrel over small things. The WOOD
which is run out Of the mine is ommon
property, and belongs to him who first gets
possession Of it. The men meet there be-
fore daylight, and have a dispute over this
public plumber. One has the scantling In
his hand, picked up somewhere along the
route, and hits the other over the head
with it. The bloody corner Of the stick in
this way as well its the wound as in the
other. 7
We mention the fact Of the existence Of
this theory, aud have only to add that
while Coroner Hodges and his jury say
accident" there arc many. and among
them those who have most examined the
premises and looked into the circumstances,
who openly proclaim murder"

The San Francisco Stock Report has
the following: The Constitutional Con-
vention has adopted the section Of the pro-
posed new constitution requiring the Leg
~islature to do something about "stock
gambling" but not until the section was
so qualified as to make it Of no special con
sequence. The Legislature is now re-
| quired to regulate or abolish the stock ex-
changes just at it sees fit. The regulating
part is the saving clause. OF course it il
no more than fair that stock exchanges
like everything else should be regulated
| the only question is how. The ridiculous
part Of the section is that which inhibits
the purchase of stock on margins. That IL
to say a man may buy a lot, or a horse, or
q watch partly on credit, but il he buys
bank shares or mining stocks he must pay
cash for them. The prohibitory clause is
really too ridiculous to discuss, but it
serves to show the character Of the pro-
posed reform and the ignorance Of the
men who propose it. We don't be-
lieve there are twenty men in the
Convention who have all intelligent idea Of
what the term "maigin" means, as con-
nected with dealing in stocks. The French
cook, and the barber, and the candlestick
maker, who are now so hard ut work upon
the constitution, probably have no other
idea OF margins than that they are o
brokers' device for s~windling his victims,
and must, therefore, be suppressed by law.
II would be useless to explain to such in
~tcllects as these that the word is a mere
phrase applied to buying on credit, and
that it no more belongs exclusively to
stocks than to any other commodity. When
the Constitution making cook buys a bar
rel Of -four and only pays half down he
buys the other half on margin that is
the credit Of the amount he has paid. SO
with the barber when he buys the big
chairs in which his customers sit, the tinker
the tin he uses for his wares, and so on.
All credits are margins to u certain extent.
What do we understand therefore that
the new Constitution is to abolish all
credits?

future Against the one homemade"
whim and half. dozen windlasses of three
years ago, our mines now have twenty
three hosting works in full operation, be-
sides whims, whips and windlasses too
numerous to mention. Against the slow
working arastra of only two years ago we
now have four steam quartz mills in full
operation, reducing in the aggregate about
one hundred tons Of ore per day, with the
certainty that with the coming of spring
the rapidly increasing production Of ore
will demand that the number of mills be
doubled, If not trebled. Against the half
dozen board and stone cabins Of three
years ago we now have a wcll-built, hand

five thousand people, representing every
branch of trade and industry, including
two ministers Of the gospel without a place
to do business in, and about thirty saloons
