We state what everybody knows
when we say that this State must
have some relief from the present tax
alton, and that the people confidently
expect the coming Legislature to ad-
opt measures removing the burdens
that are upon them. Every material
interest of the State is paralyzed by
the eSorbitant taxes that grind the
industrial classes out of existence.
The people must have relief and will
have it.-State Register.

Let us hear a conversation on this
subject between Mr.. Smith aud his
friend Mentor:
There is in my pupils, says Mr.
Smith, not the least gravity. If
could only induce them to walk Sc
dately but there is nothing but hop
ping, jumping fnd running.
Men. You don't say. 1t would dis
gust me to see my scholars walk like
puppets. The boy must hop, jump
and run, if he feels his strength.
Smith. There is no trace of refec-
ton.
Men. You are astonished at this

Smith. They do nothing but child
ishness.
Men. Because they are children.
Smith. When the bell rings to as
semble them for their lessons, they
are SO slow. so morose, tpat one may
lose all his patience but if it is time
for the play ground, you should see
the joyful willingness with which they
go for it, as if man was born to play.
Men. Indeed man is not exactly born
to play, but the groDiag man-the boy
is. By and by you ought to accustom
him to relish work, but you ought not
to lose patience if he does not like it
ut once.
Smith. And during the lessons they
are not moment quiet.
Men. Because they are in q condi-
tion which is unnatural to them. A
healthy boy is only quiet so long as
he sleeps. Being awake he is in con-
slant motion. In this case you have
nothing else TO do but to reflect how
to use this perpetaum mobile way of
boys for the attainment of good aims.
Give these little hands constant oc-
cupation and to these little mouths as
much occasion to talk as possible and
you will cease to find these little hob
COLLINS burdensome.
Smith. They mortify me by their
tricks and malice.

Men. There we have it. That is
the very thing wherein you gentle
men commit an error. In every re-
suit of looseness aud thoughtlesspess
you suspect tricks and malice and
thereby you sin against youth. When
ever these results show themselves

FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
DAYTON ACCIDENT.

From Mr.. r. B. Mcmahon, who returned
yesterday from Dayton, we have learned fur
Their particulars of the burning to death of
Mrs. Williamson at that place on Tuesday
last. The portion of the house she was oc-
oupying was somewhat difficult of access,
being 30 situated that a narrow alley had to
be passed through, as we'll as a wood shed, to
reach it. Her brother in law, Mr. Randall,
vent into the building when the fire was
under strong Roadway, secured his books and
papers, and cautioned her against again enter
ing the burning building 1t is supposed,
after he left, that thinking she could secure
some more articles from the burning house,
she went in, started for the door through
which she had entered, and was then met by
the flames and forced back into the house.
She was probably burned to death before it
was really known that she had gone into the
building. She was found near the door lying
on her face, her clothing entirely burned mp,
and the body frightfully charred Mrs. Will
hanson was a young woman, only twenty
four years of age, was a forr'er resident of
Alpine county, Cal, and was married in the
Ormsby House, in Carson, abont five years
ago. She was the mother of one ght and
beautiful child, four years old Mr.. William
son, the afflicted husband, was tolographed
for to Aurora on Tuesday night, and arrived
here by yesterdays Aurora stage. He left
by private conveyance, for Day
ton, where his wife was to have been buried
last evening.

POOL SELLING.
last evening.

Pools on tomorrow s races will be sold to-
night at the Ormsby Billiard Rooms. This
is a mile and repeat race, for LOCO, for
which there are three entries: "Batterman,
'Illusion" and "April Fool. The first two
are untried horses, but the last named has
good record both in the East and i'll this
State. They are all equine blue-bloods,
going back to the aristocracy of the old and
keeping pace with the new country, and if in
condition, as they ought to be and as they un-
doubtedly will be, to-morrow's will be game
race. This race will be for blood and money
and how the pools will go is more than we
can safely guess at. "You pays your money,
and you takes your choice, my dears," holds
good OH tO-nights pools. You can't all light
on the winning horse, but you have one
chance in three, and that's better than the
average layout.

SCRAPS AND DABS.

The zephyrous visitation of yesterday did
good service. 1t cleared the air, cooled of
heated rooms and swept off good deal of the
surface dust of the streets. All of which is
happily preparatory to the glorious Fourth.
We hope that Carson street will be
sprlnkled abundautly enough to cause that
thoroughfare to be as little like mud as moist
ened earth can be, and az slightly resembling
the dust of 7G as the dampened clay of
patriotism can be fetched withal.
The citizons of Empire Will respond wit h
heartiness and patriotic zest to Carson S in
vitation to take part in the celebration Of the
Fourth Again be it observed: Westward
the course of Empire takes It's way.
Next Monday our fellow citizens viii begin
to have themselves conveyed Lakewards. The
season thereabout will be very busy aud very
profitable to hotel keepers and travel pro

Nobody sells fruit in better condition than
our old friend Ivancovich. Also nobody will

a thirst for bunch of tirecrackers, or a girl
with longing desire for a flag of her coun-
try, to purchase the things nearest his heart
or dearest to her affections. Remember the
