THE ANNUAL ASSAY COMMISSION

In the telegraphic news from Washington,
D. c., under date of the Both ultimo, We find
that the President has appointed number OF
scientific and non-scientifc gentlemen as com
missioners to test the gold and silver coinage
of the United States for 1877. This commits
sion is to assemble at the Philadelphia Mint
on the 18th instant The fact is not uniyer-
sally known but similar commission is an
nually appointed for that purpose, and the
Mint at Philadelphia is designated by law as
the rendezvous The manner of testing the
Mint coinage is not generally understood,
therefore, we will briefly state how the
savants conduct the business. The Coinage
Act of 1873 requires the superintendent and
assayer of each Mint to indiscrminately
select from each delivery of coin made by the
coiner to the Superintendent one coin out
Of every 1000 pieces of silver, and one com
out of every 900 pieces Of gold The coins
thus selected are placed into small envelopes,
sealed, and deposited in a pyX, to which
two locks are attached, the Superintendent
being the custodian Of one key and the

EXTENDING THE OLD CARSON
THEATER.

Some well timed repairs are making on and
about the stage of the Carson Theater This,
in anticipation of the coming hither of Piper
opera troupe next week We are glad to
learn that Messrs. Moore and Parker have in

radical reforms, This involves the extension
of the present building back to tn next street
west of Carson, commodious ladies entrance
and an increase of the stage and green room
capacities These improvements are exactly
in the line of what is wanted and we certainly
hope they may be consummated.

A JOLLY SLEIGH RIDE.

There are two or three in3eparables to en-
ioyment in sure-enOugh sleigh ride. You
must either have turnover capsize in a
snow drift-or jolly drag through the mud.
Either real, unmistakable ride over the
crisp snow, or as ridiculous an imitation of a
sleigh ride as mud and slush can make it.
Nobody appreciates these facts better than
our friend Pantlind of the Ormsby House. A
rare liking for the excitements Of healthful
enterprises has he He is keen enough to APP
prec te the debatable ground between all I'M
pend ng thaw and fairly available fall of
snow That's how it happened that he got
out Bentons sleigh stage yesterday and with
Hank Monk for driver, went down to the sec
ond ward school house, invited the children
there to take ride and treated them to the
merriest slei9hing ever was enjoyed this side
the Arctic Zone We like this thoughtful
GOOD heartedness More of it Wouldn' hurt,

to beating and leaping with the full measure
Of delight, born of hearty anticipation and

they look on "Pant' as Il sort Of bachclOric

The Doves Mosque.

In the city of Stamboul the Doves
Mosque, or the Mosque Of Brajazet H.,
has a special charm. The court, entered
by gates deliberately decorated in ara
besque, is exceedingly beautiful. In the
center is marble fountain under a
canopy and sheltered by a cluster IF
trees. AS you enter the court You hear
the roar Of wings, and for a moment the
air is darkened with theysudd enyfight of
myriads of doves. These birds, the off
spring Of pair purchased from poor
woman by Sultan Bajazet and presented
to the mosque, are as sacred as was the
ibbs.of old. A grave. and sreyerend gfel-
low withsa huge turbin sits. under the
cloister and sells grain to the faithful
and the tickle. The former feed the
doves for charity, 1hE latter for fun.
While the fountain is knee-deep with
swarming birds and the trees rclogged
with them and alt the caves Of the clois-
| ter lined, and even the galleries Of the
slender minarets not unvlsited by these
.feathered deryishes, you throwsa handful
Of wheat into the court, and ikea thund;
er-clound the whole tribe swoops upon
/ you with the rush and roar Of Storm
They crowd one another and heap thenl-
selves together and stand on their heads
in their eagerness to get "a morsal o.
grain. In moment some one enters the
court, and the birds take flight, stirring

completely, aslshe got it on, did she emit
or into the .personatlon of Meg and leave
her own behind. She was always partic7@
ular and perfect in her makeup, and
would have been for an audience of a.
dozen as for one of thousands At times,
with so much wear and tear, some part Of
the cost0me would need renewal; the
stockings, for example, would wear out,
ard then no end of trouble would come
in preparing another pair, that the exact

This she achieved by her own hand, by
lmmerslng them in peculiar dye which
she had prepared from different ingredi-
ents not generally known to the regular
sdyers. During all the early period OF
the performance Of this pa1t, when it
was used more as an operetta than a
drama, it was the custom for the dra-s
matte persona to sing finale after the
death to Meg. The interval gave MISS
Cushman an opportunity to wash the paint
from her face and remove the head-dresss
and gray hair Of Meg, so that when she was
recailed-as she always was-she5 came
before the audience her own sweet, smil-
ing, pleasant self. The contrast between
the wild, weird, intense face of Meg and
the genial aspect Of the actress was a
veritable sensation, which it was pity
to lose when afterward the musical finale
was omitted, and the piece concluded
with death Of Meg.

German Onion Market,

am sure you can not guess what sort
of thing Za0iebel-naarEt is. The w ord
means onion market. and I will tell you
about one which saw in :. German city.
was awakened very early one October
NOR ming by the rumble of heavy carts un-
der my window, and drawing aside, the.
curtain, I looked upon the great square
all alive with a busy crowd Of men,
women and children. There were huge
canvas covered carts, drawn by oxen;
great numbering wagons, with horse and
cow, or a pair. of droll little donkeys,
harnessed together; dogs and goats were
tackled to small wagons that ratified along
over the cobble stones, while the drivers
whips were cracking like hundreds of
torpedoes, and every cart, large and small,
were heaped with onions. :. M 800
Where did they all come from, for it
was, barely sunrise then? While eating
breakfast, which took an hour earlier
than usual that morning, I asked nv
slandlady about it; and she told me that
Ii was ZaDie5es-annrkt, and would continue
three or four days. It's really the sea
son when the harvest is gathered, and the
farmers come to town to sell their country
produce; but instead of making it mere
stupid time of traffic, they turn it into
grand holiday. The town puts on its
gala attire, the shops are light with all
manner of glittering things; street must
clans draw around them crowds Of happy
peasants, who stand and listen in open
mouthed delight; Punch aid Judy shows,
dancing bears, trained bears, trained dogs
and talking birds, are all to be found in
ents OF booths at every corner. So, you
tee, it is not by any means made up en-
tirely of onions. .
AS walked through the streets I found
that there were all sorts Of vegetables, such
as we see in our markets at home at Thanks
giving time; but an air of beauty was Civ
en- to the whole by the tasteful arrange
ment of the various articles. Bright yell
low carrots, with their delicate foliage,
contracted with white cauliflower and the
crisp, curling leaves of the red cabbage /;
turnips, large and small, were arranged
IN fantastic heaps, their green leaves still
bright: and strings Of shining onions
were piled on the ground in gigantic pyra-
mids, great deal taller than any. man.
The peasants take great delight IN this
holiday season. Whole families come to-
gether, and camp out during the night
just beyond the city limits, returning
each morning before sunrise to their places
of sale. The largest collections of fruit
and vegetables are left under the care Of
guard at night, but the smaller wares,
such as poultry, eggs, butter, cheese, nuts,
grapes, ETC., are packed into the same carts
which brought them to town, and carried
off by their owners. to the place Of their
encampment--Goy Hours.

WAsu1NaToN Nov. 27.-It Ia generally the
cage that roaming congressional committees
are given to large expenses and disgraceiu

appointed to attend the funeralsOf members
and senators. The Joint committee which has
been travelling over the country with me al,
transferring the Indian Bureau to the War De-
partment. returns to Washington no excep-
ton to the rule but rather as an exponent o.
the worst phases OF congressional sprees
When this committee received the authority of
Congress to make the investigation there
was considerable opposition In the Sen
ate. headed by Senator Edmunds
Now that the committee has made
the largest and most expensive junket ever
known II Ia quite probable that its members
will find some trouble In defending the ex-
travagance Of the TIP and in getting the ac-
counts audited. The committee travelled ~
900 miles and examined 300 witnesses. The
COMMITTEES visited the Yosemite valley the
Nevada gold mines and every place OF inter
est between the two oceans.

visit TO that city says. "a congressional

that with few and honorable exceptions. the
commission was goriously and uproa,iously
drunk II Ia fact that tho whole history Of

II may be said that the appointment OF the
commission was more Of q compromises be-
tween the advocates and opponents Of trans
ferring the bureau. yet 1t was not the intcn-
ten to send committee on a prolonged and
expanslve junket
