PROMENADE CONCERT AND BALL.

The orchestra from Pipers Opera House,
consisting of eight performers, including solo
lists, will give promenade concert and ball
tonight at the Carson Theater, under the
leadership of J, LANCER. Those who have
heard this orchestra, as many of our citizens
have, need not be told that it embraces first
class musical talent, each of the performers
being a thorough artist on his instrument.
The programme will embrace classical selec-
tions from the standard composers, as we'll as
the lighter and always popular music of the
day In addition to the concerted pieces
there will be solos for the violin, clarionet
and cornet. After the concert, which will
last an hour and one-half, or until $50
o'clock, dancing will commence. Tickets,
admitting gentleman and lady, will be two
dollars.

THE INDIAN WAR.

On last Sunday night Lieut.. Gov. Adams
~ Adjutant General of the State of Nevada
left Carson for the scene of the Indian excite
ment i'll Elko county, having in charge a hun
bred stands of arms On the evening before,
in response to dispatch from Ma jor John H.
Dennis, forty stands of arms were shipped to
Cornucopia, making one hundred and forty in
all, and six thousand cartridges. The tele-
grams from Cornucopia, which we were shown
in the Governors office by Major Garrard,
are exciting, almost sensational, but i'll every
instance have been sent by responsible citi-
zens of that portion of Elko county. Refugees
report the BannOcks as determined on serious
trouble, hence perhaps the cause of the alarm
at Cornucopia. The Bannocks crossed over
the mountain range dividing the Bruneau
from the Owyhee river, drove the Shoshones
out from the Duck Valley Reservation, and
have seriously threatened the whites in that
section of country.
Following is copy of the letter of in
structions 10 Lient. Gov. J. w. Adams, Ad-
jutant- General, n. NJ. dated at the Ex-
ecutive Department, Carson City, June 9,
1878:
information having reached this Office of a
threatened invasion of this State by the hos
tile Bannocks you will proceed by the most
expeditions route to the neighborhOod of Cor
nucopia, and, if necessary, to Bull Run and
Duck Valleys and Mountain City, and take
such steps as you may deem necessary for the
protection of life and property.
You will report daily to this Office by tele-
gram, and also keep Gen. Mcdowell, at San
Francisco, fully informed of the movements of
the Bannocks, and ask such assistance of him
as the situation demands.
You are authorized to call out the organ
lied militia of Eureka, and provide for their
transportation and subsistence.
You are authorized to muster into service |
any number of citizens near the scene of
trouble and arm them as best you can.
In all your acts exercise the most rigid |
economy consistent with full and complete |
protection of life and property.

Governor and Commander Chief.
Yesterday the Governor received a tele-
gram from Lieut. Gov. Adams, from the
Humboldt House, dated same day, of which |
the following is a copy:
Two companies of infantry will arrive at
Wlnnemucca this morning. Three companies |
are following and will be at Elko to night. |

FINDING A WIFE All CEURCH1.

Many years ago, a son of Scotch lord,
travelling in this country, happened to
spend Sunday in Stratford, Conn. Find
ing the hours long and weary, he dropped
into the church, and soon became more in-
terested in the face and voice of beautiful
young lady in the choir than the preachers
sermon. The impression made was per-
manent one. On inquiry, he found that
she belonged to poor family, but was
highly esteemed for her noble personal
qualities. He made her acquaintance,
which ripened into respect and love.
The young lady was placed under the
best educational influences, and afterward
taken to Scotland as the wife of the young
traveller. Prof. Benjamin Silliman, Of Yale
College. who was born at Stratford, had
often heard the romantic story, but had
never learned the name of the Scotch lord.
When be visited Scotland, he met one day,
at dinner table, Lord Sterling and his ac-
complished wife. He was charmed with
the eourtly manners and the conversational
gifts of the lady, which rose to positive
pleasure when he found that she was the
heroine of the romantic story so often told
in his pstive town. He was proud to know

A DIV .AisFs, WEDDING.

In the year ITO, Peter the Great, I'm
peror of Russia, celebrated q marriage of
dwarfs at Petersburg, which was attended
with great parade. On q certain day,
which he had ordered to be proclaimed
several months before, he invited the
whole body of his eourtiers and all the
foreign ambassadors to be present at the
marriage of pigmy man and woman.
The preparations for this wedding were not
only very grand, but executed in style of
barbarous and painful ridioule. Peter or
dered that all the dwarf men and women
within two hundred miles should repair to
the capital, and also insisted that they
should be present at the ceremony. For
this purpose he supplied them with proper
vehicles but 80 contrived that one horse
was seen carrying dozen of them into the
city at once, while the mob followed,
shouting and laughing, behind Some of
them were at first unwilling to obey an
order which they knew was calculated to
Iuru tueIn lHCO rlulcule, anu ulu uot colnej
but he soon obliged them to obey, and, as a
punishment, enjoined that they should wait
on the rest at dinner. The whole company
of dwarfs amounted to about seventy, be-
sides the bride and bridegroom, who were
richly adorned in the extremity of the
fashion. For this little company in minia-
ture everything suitable was provided;
low table, small plates, little glasses, and,
in short, everything was SO fitted as if all
things had been dwindled to their own
standard. 1t was the emperor's pleasure
to see their gravity and pride-the conten-
ton of the women for places, and the men
for SUPERIOR y. This point he attempted
to adjust by ordering that the most diminu-
tive should take the ad; but this bred dis
putes, for none would then consent to sit
foremost All this, however, being at last
settled, dancing followed the dinner, aud
the ball was opened with minuet by the
bridegroom, whose height was exactly three
feet two inches. In the end, matters were
SO contrived that this little company, who
met together in gloomy disgust, and with
on unwillingness to be pleased, being at
last familiarized to laughter, entered into
the diversion, and became extremely
sprightly and entertaining

peeraOe


The aneients believed that at the point
where mans rule and power over the forces
of the world, there destiny began; and if
o ship was wrecked at sea, or if country
was devastated by an epidemic, as such
catastrophes were clearly not brought
about by mans wishes or desires, they
thought that they could only be caused by
some mysterious superhuman power who
meddled with, and ruled over, human af-
fairs. We cannot certainly be surprised
that such should have been the views and
opinions of persons who were ignorant of
the fact that storm or an epidemic is but
a natural effect resulting from natural
causes, and that its occurrence is governed
by laws Us certain and invariable as that of
gravitation. In country where there
were supposed to be gods of the sea and
gods of the woods, rulers of the wind and
deities of the river, there manifestly was
but little room in which mans free-will
could assert itself. But now, since we
know that we have in truth only to con-
tend with natural forces, and those, too, Of

once the fiery sword of an angry deity,

the most marvellous and fearful instruments
of deb y, as it appeared to the inhabitants
of Rome and Athens some 20 centuries
ago, has in these latter days lost much of its
terrible character; and, to the great disgust
of Jupiter and the other lords of Olympus,
little Mr. Dilettante at his scientific seances
can give you as much lightning as you
wish. The fancy and Imagination are moro
powerful, and less subject to the dictates
of reason, in the night than they are in
the ay-time; the land Of darkness may
be considered as their proper and natural
habitat; and, like the bats, they are most
busy when the sun has left US. Ignorance
is kind of darkness and when mortals
had not the remotest idea of what was the
cause or nature of an eclipse, and when
they knew "less than nothing" about
electricity, it is hardly matter to be Won

NORLEMEN I'm BUSINESS.

Coutts' bank may be taken as conspicu-
Gus instance of the alliance between busl-
ness and nobility. The daughter of the
head of the firm, Miss Marjoribanks, was
lately married to the Earl of Aberdeen, and
one of the partners is Mr.. Dudley Ryder,
q son of the Earl of Harrowby. At the
time of great commercial crises the aristo-
cratic element has been singularly and sadly
revealed. Such crisis was that of the
South Sea Bubble Company, in which an
immense number of noble families We're
involved. The same may be said of events
of a very recent date--the bubble COM
panies of 1925, the railway year OF 1915,
and the disastrous financial years of 1857
and 1866. In fact, our noble houses have
never felt any repentance or conjunction
for Icing concerned in commerce. 1t was,
perhaps, something different with the old
noblesse in France. Sterne has q pretty
story in his Sentimental Journey of Baron
or Count who, intending to go into busl-
ness, laid up his sword in the public ar
chiyes until such time that he should make
his fortune in trade and reclaim it. He re-
claims it at last, and drops upon it one of
those happy tears which Sterne always had
at his disposal. At the present day, no
pobleman would think sword or escutcheon
dimlned by contact with gold earned in
commerce. In Iced, as the estates of many
of our great mobiles have developed in
value, and become connected with indus
trial pursuits, the nobleman who wishes
thoroughly to understand his own posses
sions must have certain business and com
mercial qualities. Some MOBILES spend the
best part of their lives in business office,
and work steadily, with brief interlude
for biscuit and sherry, from 10 till 4. They
have to keep ledgers and day-books; have
stewards and secretaries; be bothered with
lawyers and architects; and, on the whole,
have rather hard time Of it. Some of
them like it, and think life would be very
tolerable sif it were not for its amuse-
ments"; but, upon the whole, the incessant
contemplation even of ones intense sol
vency must be monotonous. A mans life
does not consist in the abundance of his
possessions. s.-London Society.

THE GOLD MENEIeS OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA.

Despite its vast area and its rugged sur
face, British Columbia, so far as settlement
and civilization we're concerned, was moth

mine at one end and seaport at the other
One or two smaller offBhoots, branching
away to mines more or less played out, had
this great wagon road, but they were at
long intervals apart, and were suitable only
for the saddle and the .paek-horse. Up and
down this road travelled every year the en-
tire population; or, if there remained at
Soda Creek, or at Quesnelle, few of the
less fortunate gold-seekers, whose finds did
not permit their wintering 30 far south as
Victoria, the capital, nevertheless their
more fortunate friends seemed still to hold
them in lively remembrance, and to have
known Pete at the Ominica was to have
claim upon the acquaintance of Dave at
Clinton. "The boys amt bad lot" re-
marked Mr.. Hamilton to his box fare, as,
holding his horses well in hand, he ratified
briskly down the incline that led to Clinton.
'"rheres some of 'em as wouldn't wash two
cents the bucket, an there's more that has
the metal thick enough on the bedrock OF
their naturs." Mr.. Hamilton was right.
These "boys," called gold minels, - the

Missouri their base for the exploration OF
chat vast region which then lay in painless
solitude to the waves of the Pacific Ocean.
Reckless in their modes of hunting and
trapping, these men quickly destroyed or

FENCING IN JAPAN.

A famous company Of professional fenc-
ers were performing at Yokohama while I
was there, and we went to see them along
with several English residents, who had
been many years in the country, but had
never witnessed similar exhibition. The
gladiators were encased in armor, and were
distinguished from each other by the color
of their cuirasses. Their appearance was
heralded by the blast OF a conch shell, and
all their proceedings were superintended
by handsome young man, attired u
shaven in the most orthodox style. Weld
ing his fan like a marsbaFs truncheon, he
set the combatants upon each other, and
separated them, with loud CALCULATIONS.
It was clear that he believed thoroughly in
his own office, and discharged it with as
great punctilio as if the bamboos had been
sharp swords and the combat outrdnce.
At each corner of tie arena sat Judge,
with all the dignity of Roman senator,
motionless and silent, until referred to upon
doubtful point of order Cuts are inter-
changed SO rapidly that it is often hard to
say who had dealt the successful stroke.
The weapons are long bamboos, held in
both hands like quarter staffs, and any sort
of blow above the waist is permissible, but
the favorite is a good crack on the top OF
the helmet. Occasionally, the combatants
get too near together for striking, and the
struggle becomes literally hand to hand un-
til they are separated; Notwithstanding
their savage yells and fierce blows, they
preserve the perfect good humor character
istic of their race. BY way OF variety,
there was fight between the sword and
the "morning-star," sphere fastened by
cord to q spiked handle. Although the lat
ter appeared to be the inferior weapon, its
bearer did not come badly off, as he played
the part of retiarius with the ball
and string, and when at close quarters
brought his sharp hook into active opera
ton. Then two girls, elaborately attlred IN
the wide sleeves and trowsers of Japanese
knights attended by female squires, to arm
and equip them, took their places on oppo-
site sides of the lists, and went through the
motions of fight, one having halberd
and the other couple of swords. Finally.
another amazon had duel with a male an
tagonst, and completely overthrew him !;
but this was a mere burlesque, as he evil
IDENTIFY tumbled over on purpose and be-
haved like the clown in a pantomime,
whereas an air of stern reality pervaded
the other mimic battles. 1t is remarkable
that the Japanese are able to derive keen
enjoyment from performances which in
volve no peril to life or limb, and if their
spectacles differ in this respect from those
of the Roman amphitheatre they may also
compare favorably with many which find
favor in the eyes of the British public.

bang" are popular, but the passion fol
