The SHAH OF PERSIA has suddenly
risen in the esteem OF the great powers
of Europe. 1t has been lately rumored
that he was seeking an understanding
with the Gar for certain privileges and
pledges of friendship In view of the
changed condition of affairs in Armenia.
He has consequently become such an
object of interest to the great powers
that he has been called post-haste to the
Western capitals to be interviewed and
instructed TO his duties. 1t as is
thought tn at il would be more saga
cious move to keep him in Europe for
few months. When he was last there he

there had been no fraud practiced. He
instructed the jury to bring in the YER

their seats. The defendants offered no
evidence whatever, but were acquitted

Don't BE Discouraged.

1t Is practice among many farmers
who in one season have prodigious Weld
OF "a staple crop, or fail in their efforts to
get paying one, to become discouraged
and sow little or hone of that seed the
ensuing year. This course being follow
ed by great many Others who find that
wheat, rye, corn or potatoes last year
were over abundant ana sold at a very
low price, diminish the breadth of these
crops the ensuing year. and then live to
see that somewhat of a scarcity increases
the price beyond the ordinary range, and
show how much they have lost by their
want of thought and courage Neither
an over-yield or partial shortness of
any part cular crop should influence one
IN diminishing or increasing the breadth
OF land sown, unless the reasons for il ar o
unmistakable. We have witnessed many
of these results-and the same is the case
in almost any kind of business, even
mercantile; but we have seldom or never
known the taint-hearted to patiently sub
nit to a failure or partial failure, in the
hope and almost certain fact that subse-
quent success would far more than cover
any temporary loss.
These results are seen as often in the
potato, the wool, and the hop crops as
in any other, and have entalled great
loss upon cultivators who, not looking
the thing in the face as they should do,
are frightened and the following year re-
frain from going into the grewIng of
these crops to any extent, but which
they find, when the next season closes,
that they command two prices of tho
year before, and sometimes as it relates
to hops, three or four prices.
The best plan, therefore, is to 60 on
with the regular crops raised upon the
farm, ond if there should not be succe SIS
and demand for all of them, there will
be of some of them, hence the average
may be satisfactory, and certainly will
be one year with another.

THE telegraph sometimes makes
very amusing mistakes. Sir Arthur
Kennedy is the Governor Of the Brit
ish Colony of Queensland. The other
day the London papers contained a
telegram announcing that Lady Ken
nedy had given birth to twins, the cid
est being a son." subsequently some
body remembered that the Governor
is a bachelor, and that there is, there
fore, no such person as Lady Kennedy.
An explanation was demanded OF the
Reuters News Company, who pro.
duced the original telegram, in these
words: "Governor of Queensland
twins, first son." This shedding nc
light upon the matter, inquiry was
made, with the result that the original
dispatch was found to be "GoverDoi
of Queensland turns first sod" allud'
ing to the beginning of a new railway
in the Colony.

MIR. MACKAY ON THE BO.
MANIA MINES.

Mr.. Mackay gives a very encourag
Ing account of the outlook OF the boz
nanza mines for 1878. He is a candid
man, and therefore all he says is en-
titled to great weight. Tho other day
he had a conference with the Comis-
siohers OF Storey county relating to
the tax levy, during which he made
the following statement 1 have al
ready spoken to Mr.. King about our
bullion tax. He informs me that you
are making your estimates upon the
calculation that our mines will yield
about $40. OOo, 900 this year. This is too
low. Think the product will reach
SIS, OO0, 900 or $40, 0OO, 900. We may
have to stop to repair the Consolidated
Virginia shaft for two or three months,
but that will not reduce the product
more than $4,000. 900. If Ophir turns
out anything, and Justice does as we'll
as usual. the highest amount named
will be easily made. Besides, there
are several other mines hat are liable
to strike something. The prospects of
the Consolidated Virginia and Cali
fornia mines are as good as at any pre-
vious time. There is enough ore now
in sight to yield SIS, 900 900 or $40, Ooo,-
OOos even II Il did not reach more than
three feet deeper than at present de-
veloped. There will be no reduction
of the product of Consolidated Virginia
this quarter, while at the same tune

AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL sURREN-


When so staunch a Republican or
gan as the Gold Hill Ne'vs deliberately
surrenders the ship things must be
getting very checkered. 1t denounces
the action of Republican Senators in
opposing the Administration and says
in substance that the last hope has now
persisted |; that the Republican party is
"swiftly and surely approaching dis
solution" That we may not be ac-
cused of mis-stating the position OF
the News we quote its language as fol
lows:
The truth is, the Republican party
leaders see that the President is en-
deavoring to remove the blot upon his
title by serving the country and not
them or their following, thus endang
ering their hold upon the Offices by de-
stroying the party machinery. Thisis
the whole difference between Mr..
Hayes and the Republicans. He
doesn't care a fig for the party, and
they care not a fig for the country. All
gerrymandering and beating about the
bush, such as was witnessed on Satur-
day, will not wipe away this prime
fact, and the less that is said and done
in q half way manner, for appearance
sake or for "the welfare Of the party
the better. The only possible hope OF
the Republicans for success in 1850 lies
in a firm acQuiesence with the present
policy of the Administration. TO re-
pudiate Mi. Hayes and cast him upon
the shoulders of the liberal Democracy
would sever the party in twain. 1t is
too late now for firm and united acqui-
escence andthere is no middle ground,
such. as that which the Senators have
chosen, upon which the party can
stand. 1t Is therefore bound to go to
pieces. All these maneuvers only go
to show the weakness of a once fornlid-
able political organization that has
served its purpose and is swiftly and
surely approaching dissolution.
Haven't you been a little slow,
Brother Doten. in arriving at this sen
sible conclusion? Don't you know
that your party was repudiated in the
last Presidential election by a popular
majority of more than two hundred
and fifty thousand? Don't you know
that by supplanting Stanley Matthews
with Pendleton in Ohio and Aaron A,
Sargent with Farley in California, thai
the United States Senate is to pass un'
der the control of the Democrats in
1879? Don't you know that in the
House of Representatives the Demo
Gratis have to day a majority of fifteen
to be swelled to forty at the
next session? And don't you
know further that with a President
ION the fence" and two thirds of the
States of the Union under Democratic
rule. the great unterrifed have about
all that is worth contending for in this
Government. If you don't know these
things, dear Brother, it is high time
you did, and we're trimming your po-
~-litical sails in a way to catch the full
force of the mighty Democratic cyclone
which is to sweep over this fair land OF
ours in the near future. Think about
it., old but misguided friend, and see il
you cannot see as we do, that you
stand in imminent danger Of being
left, solitary and alone. on the ragged
edge of a once powerful, but now de-
caying, political organization.

The Springfield Republican OF Monday
relates the following:
The ease Of Miss Maria Baldwin oi
West Granville. who was bitten in the
face by mad dog in April and last week
gave signs of hydrophobia, is peculiarly
interesting as another and strong evil
dcnce that the disease is not altogether
one Of the imagination She had always
firmly held that no one need 60 mad from
a dog bite, and since she was bitten had
showed no nervousness concerning il, go
ing about her duties as usual The dog
had also bitten two other dogs and two
sheep. One dog was killed at once, but
the other and sheep have since gone mad
and been killed. Moreover, one OF the
sheep bit hen and the bird also went
mad showing its condition by running
about wildly and pecling at its fellows
until it also was killed.
But Miss Baldwin was not told of this,
and thought lightly of her own ease until
last Monday, when she suddenly found
herself unable to swallow water. Later
she was thrown into spasms and foamed
at the mouth, when she gave up hope,
but would allow none of her friends to
come near her. lest the saliva should in
oculate them also with the disease. The
spasms became more frequent and severe
through the week, the doctors being able
to do nothing but administer Opiates, and
Miss Baldwin is now either dead or at the
point of death. She was so years old, q
woman Of great kindness of heart and
much beloved by all her friends, and was
relative of Mrs John Kent Of this city,
