Interesting Educational Statistics.

The recently issued report of the
Commissioner of the Bureau of Educa-
ton presents some interesting statistics
of the education of the young men in
the United States for what are known as
" the professions" The following table
will show comparative statement of
the schools of law, medicine and theol-
ogy:

Number of students. $3.50. .1A $50 4,26S
Totals. =. 1868 1899 17,O75
It is, of course, the fact that lawyers,
especially in the country, obtain their
professional education in the Offices of
older practitioners, and it is estimated
that only one out of every thirteen ever
enter their names upon the rolls of a
law college. The same condition exists,
although not to so great an extent, in
the medical profession, but theological
learning is almost universally acquired
in institutions established for the pur-
pose.

medicine and surgery are represented as

STREETS OF NEW YORK.

Another splendid audience, numerically
strong and highly satisfactory in point of APP
probation, was present last night at the Car
son Opera House. And we intend to say
right here that Messrs. Barton & Lawlor,
managers, have brought to Carson frst-class
company; and the people of this town, as
they always have done and always will do
when properly treated by managers of theat-
rical companies, have turned out literally,
crowding the Opera House both nights.
"Davy Crockett, on the first night, and the
Streets of New York" presented last night,
were played by the full strength of the Cali
fornia Theater Company, and, we have
been assured by parties who saw both. plays
in San Francisco, they were as well rendered
here as in CALIFORNIA; metropolis. The
Streets of New York is familiar to most
all of our theater- attending readers, many of
whom saw it last night for at least the fourth
or fifth time, and none of them ever saw it
put on the stage or played better than it was
last night Mr. Mayo, who is probably the
best Badger" on the American stage, was
in his best vein last night, and carried the
audience with him throughout the entire
play The cast is such lengthy one, and
one in attempting to partcuarizo, and failing
to give all due credit where it belongs, is SO
liable to make bad job of it, that we shall
not here essay the effort. Suffice to say, the
piece throughout was splendidly played. The
Irish and Chinese specalities, introduced by
Messrs Mccarthy and Leach, presented
new and very satisfactory feature of the play,
The tableaux were all given with fine effect.
The company appear tonight and for the re
mander of the week at Piper's Opera House,
Virginia City, and we bespeak for them a
warm reception at the hands of the always
appreciative and liberal Virginians.

FOR EMPIRE.

The Citizens party hold pow-wow to-

PERSONALS.

we chroncled the other day, returned yester-
day. Like all who hail from that camp Mr..
Grayson gives the place a good name.
A. B. Driesbsch, one of Carson's pioneers,
one of the old boys, in fact, returned from
California last Monday, where he has, as we
hope and believe, valuable mining property.
W. R. Chamberlain, of the Depot Hotel,
Reno, was in Carson last evening. Did not
ply the interviewing implements, but were as
sured that there was no politics in it.
Chief Justice Hawley was up at Virginia
City yesterday. We are satisfied that it was
not on electioneering business, for Judge
Hawley would not come down to that, besides
it is not necessary, as his political fight was
won from the start.
Gov. Bradley sauntered up toward the rail
road depot yesterday about noon AS we
haven't seen him since we've concluded that
he had some business up on the Comstock.
Some of the Dolly Varndens were
yesterday urging Capt. J. w. Haynie to go

THE PARTY TONIGHT.

The management of the Carson Opera
House will give a social dancing party this
"wednesday evening. The object is to obtain
money with which to pay for new floor can
vas, which will be used tonight for the first
time. The Carson Opera House is probably
the finest dancing hall III this State, and with
the new canvas down, which it will be to-
night, our dancing people may be sure of a
fine opportunity to enjoy themselves in a
saltatorial way We've used saltatorial
because it's five sylabled word, and it has
such charming roll about it.) Then Varney's
full band will furnish music for the party to-
night, and to leave no one an excuse to not
attend we will just mention in conclusion that
the Episcopal Ladies Aid Society will furnish
a spendid supper. And for all this the tickets
will be but two dollars and half each
COOP MUsIC.-The music furnished by the
orchestra at the Opera House for the two
last evenings has not been the least attractive
feature of the entertainment. This orchestra,
composed of musicians known to nearly every
theater attendant of Carson, has furnished ex-
cellent music, and has assisted in giving
relish to the other excellent features of the
performances.
STOCKS Another off day was yesterday in
stocks The whole line of the Comstock had
a weak look We hope the cry for mud will
not come, but if an improvement is not soon
at hand, and if there are many margin buyers
out, we fear mud will soon be wanted.
ARRIvALs.-The following passengers ar
rived by the Aurora stage of last evening:
Mrs. NJ. Gill and child, J. NJ Grayson, A. c.

How Brougham Hit Him.

The following story concerning Mr..
John Brougham is told by the New York
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette:
"There was a theatrical dinner some
where, at which he and Lester Wallack
and numerous other leading actors were
present. 1t was an ~uproariously good
time, everybody was in the best of spirits,
and Brougham before long was called
upon, of course, for a speech, which
everybody knew would be a funny one.
He said he couldn't make a speech, but
he would tell them, instead, a story of a
dream he had the night before. He
dreamed that he had hidden farewell to
earth, and gone up higher to settle the
account of his life. He approached the
gate of Heaven expecting to be allowed
to pass through, when st. Peter stepped
out and stopped him. They could ad-
NIT no actors, he said, and poor
B%rougham fell back in great sorrow.
Presently Edwin Booth came along and
met the same response, and the two
players sat down outside the gate to dis
cuss this unexpected and nournful situa-
ton. Before long Lester Wallack came
dashing up in a magnificent turnout,
and, halting his horses, alighted, and
after making himself known to the
guardian of the gate, walked jauntily
through. 'How's this@ said poor
Booth and Brougham in a breath. Said
st. Peter, with a contemptuous twirl Of
his key, ooh, he's nc actor?' 1t is hardly
necessary to say hat Wallack enjoyed
the story as much as anybody"

Honor in his Own Land.

work, The History of New York State,
"The day has passed when the benefaetors
of humanity were allowed to live in igno-
minious poverty-their sacrifices, their
labors, unrecOmpensed. To-day, the benc-
factors of the people-the men who devote
their lives and energies to the interests Of
humanity-these are the men whom the
world delights to honor, and whom it re-

worker for the welfare of his fellew-men,
