THE ORNSBY CUP.

Pants enterprises are almost endless and
always appropriate and well timed. As has
been before mentioned in these columns, he
mas been having silver cup manufactured
for presentation, in the name Of the Ormsby
House, to the best lady rider at the fall meet
ing of our Agricultural Society. 1t is Of
noble proportions. being no less than ten
inches in height and beautifully chased and
decorated. In general shape it is proper
toned like large goblet; and the designers,
Messrs Schultz & Fischer, silversmiths, San
Francisco, have presented a very handsome
pattern of their intended work. On the
main body of the cup is a wreathed circle,
with spirited engravings of mounted eques-
triennes on either side, while upon the base
is suspended saddle and stirrups in bas
relief. Within the wreathed circle the name
of the winner will be engraved. The cost of
this magnificent piece of plate is 800. l: is
the handsomest thing of the kind ever offered
under similar circumstances in the State.

A SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A CARSON
HoTEL.-The Lyon County Times of August
relates the following occurrence which is
quite new to US: "John Cauble, chief en-
gneer Of the Bacon mill, in this city, and
Ellison Ruffner, of Empire, were poisoned in
Carson last Sunday under circumstances
which point to a great deal of carelessness on
somebody's part. Mr. Cauble had gone to
the Turner's picnic in company with Mr..
Rufner. After the picnic they walked into
the Carson Exchange to get something to eat.
They had not eaten over half dozen mouth
fuls apiece when Mr.. Ruffner arose from the
table and made break for the door. Mr..
Cauble also darted into the street, and both
soon got rid of all they had eaten that day,
and great deal more besides They then
went into the wine room, took stiff horn
and fastened home Mr.. Rufner was left in
Empire, and his condition is not known; but
Mr.. Cauble was very sick all night Sunday
and Monday He was out and around yes
terday, but felt quite weak. ="
YESTERDAY was the very hottest of the sea-
son--way up in the nineties, in fact.

ing entertainments. The performances of
these artists, especially those of Little Matte

deed, this gifted girl is reported to be one of
the most remarkable performers of her age
ever known, her range OF characters being
very wide and comprehensive. We are quite
sure our friends viii find themselves richly

entertainment this evening. We are glad to

THE TELEPHONE MAN,


Edison the inventor came hither yesterday
on the belated express train. 1t was lucky
thing all round, lucky for us, for him and for
our readers that we had no opportunity to in
terview him. The reporter for the Virginia
Evening Chronicle did interview him, how
ever, and here, as follows, are some of the
results
Reporter suppose you have just re-
turned from observing the eclipsel
Edison-Yes.
Rep.-How did your tasirneter work.
Edison-Wo Wonderfully | measured the heat
of Vega and Arcturas-that is, comparatively
and both planets DETECTED the indicator
two inches The corona of the sun, however,
detected it so much that could not use it.
It's the darndest thing to measure heat you
ever saw, and astonishes me every time l try
it.
Rep.-How far off can you measure the
heat of a candlel
Edison-Oh, about 500 feet. If you place
a cake of ice a foot thick alongside the in
strument, and touch your finger against the
further side of the ice, the heat of the finger
passing through is measured by the instru-
ment instantly.
Rep-Do you intend to experiment on the
minesl
Edison-Yes, will see what I can do. [
imagine that the resistance of an ore body to
an electric current could be utilized to de-
termne the location OF the ore and its extent
am going down into the mines to see how
the land lays.
EDISON INvENTS SOMETHING.
BY this time Superintendent Patten had
joined the party; and as they stood by the
shaft Edison noticed the fact that signals
were sounded by ropes and bells, and he re-
marked: "Why don't you use electric sig
nails. "
He was told that they would not work.
"But they must work, he replied, posi-
lively "Tll make drawing tonight, and
it's bound to go"
Rep.-Your machine exhibited at the May
Festival in San Francisco did not seem to
give complete satisfaction.
Edison-It was not my machine, only
crude imitation. The machine in my labra-
tory talks and sings as well as any human
being. You can't tell the imitation from the
original voice. The machine in San Francisco
cost about $15 to make and was very imperfect |
Mine cost $50 to make and is absolutely per-
feet
Here the inventor was left to make a trip |
Town the G. and G. shaft Mr. Edison leaves |

THAT WoOD-We understand that there is
to be movement by some of our townsfolk
to get revocation of so much of the order

tory upon the Superintendent of the Mint to
destroy the grass of the Mint yard by piling
his cord wood thereon. We think the towns
conscience might well be stretched little
far enough in fact to let the Mint wood stay

Mr.. Tilden and that "Belle.o

A few weeks ago the readers of the
Herald may remember that l comment
ed upon the effort to advertise herself
made by St. Louis girl who strove to
link her name with that of Governor
Tilden in two published interviews, both
of her own seeking. The result was no.
toriety of an unenviable description in
journals in all parts of the country. In
one of the interviews she denied ever
having been introduced to the gentle
man in question, and to remedy that
omission on his part Qor both were at
Saratoga in 1870, she has lately ap-
peared in New York and attended a re-
ception at the Windsor Hotel, given by
a New York official and his st. Louis
bride, at which Gov. Tilden was pres
ent. To obtain an introduction to him
in such wise as to attract the attention
of all the company, and to secure a no.
tice favorable to herself in the newspa-
pers, was easily accomplished by this
skillful tactician. l have reason to be-
lieve, however, that the remarks attrio-
uted to the besieged gentleman, in the
published accounts of the so-called $50
cial sensation," were not those he utter
ed on the occasion, in which he did
not Udke Lne same interest as In6 lduy
who had sought him out. In fact, there
seems another side to the story,
which says that Bachelor Tilden is de-
cidedly annoyed at the notoriety the
damsel has given him in this connec-
ton. In spite of all the advertising she
had instigated or encouraged, or both,
she is thus far, as she announced in one
of the published interviews, "not en-
gagged to any one," and evidently feels
it is not meet this state of affairs should
continue, so has temporarily removed
her field of operations from st. Louis
to New York. The denizens of the lat
ter city, she complains, "do not know
how to appreciate belle" l am glad
to know that it is not absolutely neces
sary in society, as it is in mechanics
that bellemettle should have brass at
an element of its composition. Alas
for Gov. Tilden, who must feel moved
to exclaim, =" Save me from my friends
relatives and lady admirers!" Th,
lady in question keeps, as does an ac
tress, a scrap-book, in which are paste,
all flattering notices of herself whicl
have appeared in print. 1t is probabl
meant to serve the same end as that o
an actress-to secure engagements

Lincoln rs a Matchmaker.

1t was about year before the fall of
Richmond, when both North and South
seemed tottering to ruin, that young
lady who had known Mr.. and Mrs. Lin
coin for years, visited Washington. She
was an exceptionally sensible, warm
hearted, refined woman, gifted with
marvellous voice and graceful figure,
but she was very homely. She called
at the White House, and when she had
gone with his wife into private room,
MIR. Lincoln expressed his surprise to a
friend that " some good man had not
been lucky enough to marry her."
Adding:
herself would be much happier
if she were wife and mother"
A few moments later Major c., a
volunteer officer, thoroughly respected
by the President, and a bachelor, came
into the study. Mr.. Lincoln looked at
him thoughtfully.
"What are you going to do when the
war is over, C-p" "he asked suddenly.
"Seek my fortune, suppose" was
the startled reply.
"There it is in that room.'' A frank,
girlish laugh was heard at the moment.
=" No, you can't go to seek it now; busi-
ness first. But there it is"
That evening there was reception
at the White House. The President
beckoned to Major c..
Listen!" said he.
A lady, whom they could not see be-
cause of the crowd, was singing, in a
voice of great beauty and sweetness,
some gay song. The Major would have
moved forward, but Mr.. Lincoln detain-
ed him, his eyes twinkling with shrewd
| fun.
"Wait a bit,n he said. "Don't look
at her face yet"
ksPresently she sang a ballad with such
pathos that the Majors eyes grew dim.
"New go. She's as good and true as
her song"
The good word of Mr.: Lincoln proba'
bly, influenced both parties. In a few
months they were married, and the
union proved most happy one.
81 did one wise thing in 1864" Mr.
Lincoln said, rubbing his chin, as was
his wont when pleased: 81 made that
match. "--- Youths Companion.

An Old Lady's Advice.

An "old mother" writes to the Hart
ford Times about married life thus:
" Preserve sacredly the privacies of
your own house, your married state,
and your hearts. Let no third person
come in between you two. With Gods
help build your own quiet world, not al
lowing your dearest earthly friend to
be the confident of aught that concerns
your domestic peace. Let moments OF
alienation, if they occur, be healed at
once; never speak of it outside, but to
each other confess, and all will come
out right. Never let the morrow's sun
find YOU at variance. Review and re
renew your VOWS; it will do you good,
and thereby your souls will grow to
gether, and you will become truly

Nan as a Chameleon.

1t follows that we each of us carry
about very nearly as many distinct
selves as there are people who know us,
or think they know US. To one we
represent one conception, to another
qnite different one. You are one per-
son to the bearer of contribution box
on Sunday, upon whom you smile be-
nignantly as you drop in your coin, and
another person altogether to the tenant
whom you eject on Monday. To the
beautiful young lady, to whom you de
lightedly resign your seat in a crowded
car, you represent one thing-if, indeed,
she gives you thought at all; and to
the overladen working woman, upon
whom and whose bundles you look COM
placently and unmoved, you represent
another. To the man on your doorstep
who is suing for aid, you stand for un-
bounded prosperity; but your creditor,
who is just getting out an attachment
on your property, knows better. So
crates expounding lofty philosophy in
the midst of admiring disciples, and So
crates attempting to explain to Zantippe
why his night-key wouldn't turn the
lock, were two very different individ-
uals.-BostOn journal.
