HITLER AND YON.

James Tanning is a nice workingman, he is!
He came to the Ormsby House on Sunday
and got good entertainment there He said
he was workinSman--one of the kind who
puts large w before the word. Was going
to talk to the horny handed at Reno, he said.
Yesterday morning he settled up and started
for the train. He picked up valise, IN his
workingmans hand, and said it was his. 1t
was not his. 1t was Mrs. keelar's. So jim

Something or others the matter with the
stop cock which supplies the cistern at the
foot of King street. So the water flows out
there in an unstoppable way and there is
waste and mud to pay for it. Something's
broke They we're talking about pumping
the cistern down to where the cock can be
reached 1t is Sweeney's water.
The grass in the little Mint yard is growing
beautifully. Yesterday morning it was get

THE V. e. T. r. R. EXTENSION TO
AURORA.

The developments south Of US, in the bullion
producing way have made it necessary that
our railway system should be extended in that
direction. The discovery of quartz vein in
the Del Monte mine at Aurora is most i'm
portant event II means revival of mining
in that formerly rich and famous district.
Yesterday the report came to town that the
Standard had struck it, richer than ever, in
the 700-foot level That means permanency
at Bodie-and permanency at Bodie means
important business enterprises and all parts
lying contiguous Or tributary to Bodie. There
are therefore many reasons why the V. & T.
r. r. Company should thus extend its line.
The present plan is to make the northern
terminus at the Mound House. We hope that
the survey may be so directed as to bring the
terminus within the boundary line of Ormsby
County. We need all the taxable property
we can get. We have heard the opinion ex-
pressed that the contemplated branch could
be made at or near the Merrimack mill from
whence the line could be run to Dayton, down
the river bank. This, it is thought, would be
advantageous to the company and the county
alike. At all events, the road is to be built
unless some new and unexpected hitch inter
venes to prevent Operations will probably

THE RAILROAD EXTENSION.

| Concerning the sub ject of the extension of
| last evening says A railroad movement has
been decided upon which is of the greatest
Importance to the people of our State and of
the Coast. The Virginia and Truckee Rail
road is to be extended from the Mound
House via. Dayton and Sutro to Fort Church
ILL., thence to Masons Valley and Walker
Lake. At the Lake connecting steamers will
run thirty miles and then branch road is to
run to the Nine-mile House at the foot of the
Aurora grade. The work is to be inaugurated
Immediately and pushed to the earliest posi-
BILE completion. Distances are: To Fort
Churchill, "a miles; Mason's Valley "a;
Walker Lake, 30. The branch beyond the
Lake will be 80 miles. Should it be deemed
munication, the distance from Masons
Valley to the Aurora grade is but 20 miles.
WILL RUN.-We are authorized to say (as
by the terms of private letter written to a
Democratic friend, We are informed) that Mr..
w. E. F. Deal will be candidate for the
Congressional nomination in the State Con
vention of his party. He will, it is thought
be nominated by acclamation-if George Cas-
sidy is off the track. There seems to be an
impression that Deal (who is a very amiable
gentleman), is particularly strong. 1t is our
opinion that Cassidy would make a stronger
run than he.
HUTCHINsON's TRIAL.-The case of the
State agt. Hutchinson was called yesterday
in the District Court. venire of thirty
persons was exhausted and only nine secured |
These nine are liable to a peremptory chal- |
lenge, we believe. SO that is proving some

of Mr. Hutchinson peers to try him.

ments. Tonight is Kelley's concert, to-mor-
row night Mr.. Bicknell will lecture at the
Opera House, and on Thursday night the
keelar Family will appear at the Carson

Workers. They are no doubt very surprising
performers They do all sorts of mex
plicable and astounding things. One paper
whose notice we have read says they raise the

Devil. The Memphis. Aoah1nche says

A VERMONT CENTENABIAN--A FAMILY Ex-
TRAoRDINARY FOR LONGEVITY. The death Of
Mrs Phebe Haley, which occurred recently
at North Pownal, ended a marvellously long
life. She was born in Pownal, June Sd, 1774,
and consequently reached the one hundred
and fifth year Of her age. All these years
she has lived in the one town, county and
State. Her maiden name was Cummings.
At the age of 1G, in the year 1890, she pro-
fessed religion, united with the Methodist
church, and has ever since remained stead
fast member of that denomination. When l.
years old she married Benjamin Haley The
husband died only II years ago, when up
wards Of 30 years old-their married life hav-
ing then reached nearly three-quarters of a
century. Mr.. Haley seems to have been n
physical wonder because he is described as
always addicted to drinking since youth and
was accustomed to indulging in all sorts of
dissipatOns besides possessing n very ugly
temper. There were II children born to the
couple, of whom 10 are now living. Nearly
all the boys are intemperate, yet some of
them seem likely to attain a great age, and
three of them have already passed four score.
Thus it will be seen that Mrs Haley's domes-
tic life must have been replete with vexations
and tribulations, while drudging along with a
dissolute husband and batch of almost
dozen unruly boys. Despite all that, she sue
ceeded in retaining her faculties to an aston
ishing degree, so to the last she could thread
n fine needle without glasses, and her hearing
was not at all impaired. Her face was plump
without any signs of wrinkles. Many of her
grandchildren looked older than she did at
her one hundred and fifth birthday. The di-
rect living descendants Of Mrs. Haley extend
through five generations, children, grand
children, great-g grandchildren, great-great-
grandchildren and great-great- great grand
children. Three of her own children died
from old age. None of this wonderfully nu-
merous and long-lived family ever amounted
to anything noteworthy in an intellectual
sense. Their only success in this life seemed
to consist of wonderful vitality, that en-
abied them to attain old age, their brain pow
er being apparently absorbed by toughened
muscles. This will account for the death of
the mother in the county almshouse because
when her old age compelled reliance on 9TH
crs, of all the ten living children none were
capable of Offering her home, and she was
forced on the populace.

Far up among the hills of northern New
Hampshire on the very border Of Quebec
province is a small lake, which has an area
of scarcely more than three acres. In early
spring while as Yet the snow lies along its
border, the woods rosound with the croalling
of numerous frogs which here undisturbed,
find a congenial habit0tiOn. This little lake,
in the cold, dark forests, 300 feet above the
level of the sea, is the source of the Connect
icut river Its outlet, a mere rill leaping
over the rocks in beautiful cascades, soon
flows into Third lake. This lake contains an
area OF about 30 square acres, and is sur
rounded 10y lofty hills, except ON its southern
border, where the undulAtions are more gem
tie. The lake has the form of a trapezoid,
and its outlet, stream ten feet wide, is in
the southeast corner. From Third lake the
Connecticut flows four and half miles, when
it receives from the cast II tributary nearly as
large as itself One and u quarter miles far
ther south it flows into second lake. This
lake is also surrounded by high hills, but they
recede farther from its shores, while in the
distance they rise TO mountain heights 1t is
two aud three-fourths miles long, and its
greatest width is one and fourth miles Be-
sides the Connecticut it has two tributaries
from the northeast and one from the north
west 1t is one of the most beautiful of our
Northern lakes. The graceful contour of its
shores, the symmetry of its projecting points,
the stately growth of its primeyal forests, the
carpet of green that is spread along its bor-
der and extends through the long vista of
the woods, the receding hills and the distant
mountains present combination of the wild,
the grand and beautiful, that is rarely seen.
On its border the moose and the deer feed al
most undisturbed on its tributaries the bea-
yer builds its house, and the otter slides into
the clear and limpid streams, while its shores
are still the resort of the sable aud the mink.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1878-08-16

The outlet is on the west side, near the south
orn border, and is about TO feet wide. The
descent. at first, is gsnlr, but the distant roar
that greots the ear indicates that rapids are
near. So it rushcs on over its rocky bed oc-
casionally forming deep eddics only to be-
come more rapid still For mile and q half
from tho lake il forms % series Of wild cas-
Cadcs which continue for half a m,lc then
after receiving two tributaries from the west,
it flows into First or Connecticut lake. Here
we find a sheet of water irregular in outline,
extending about four miles cast and west,
having IN area of nearly three square miles.
On the southwest there are farms, aud in
many places the pressy pastures reach the
border of the lake, but for the most part it is
still surrounded by primoval forest. This
lake is beautiful, especially in autumn. On
many of the ncghborng hills there is n
growth of deciduous trees, particularly the
maple; when the frost comes and these have
put on their crown of beauty, Of crimson and
scarlet, Of yellow and gold, mingled as they
often are with the dark foliage of the spruce
and fir, we have a scene which in briliancy
and beauty is rarely, if ever, excelled. 1t Of
ten happens while the forests have on their
robes Of beauty, that all the higher points of
the neighboring hills are of immaculate white
ness from the frozen mist that clings to every
spray OF the thick evergreen foliage. At the
outlet Of the lake, the river, which is here
fifty feet wide, forms precipitous cascade,
falling thirty-sevon feet in eight rods. 1t
flows a little west Of south for two miles
when it receives n tributary, Cedar stream,
from the cast, when it flows a little south of
southwest, until it reaches the Vermont line.
1t receives three tributaries from the north,
Perry stream, which rises near Third lake :;
Indian stream, which rises on the border n
little farther north than the last and Halls

Isaac FRIEDLANDER, who has just died in
San Francisco at the age of 81, was a notable
figure, physically and mentally, among the
great business spectators of the Pacific coast.
He was six feet seven inches high, and brainy
to correspond with his stature Born in Ger
many and put into business as a lad in Amer
lea, he was one of the 'Argonauts of '49",
and after mining experiences without profit,
he found his genius lay in grain, and in 1857
he had become the director of the grain mar
ket He began the immense expectation of
California wheat to England, and for 20 years
was supreme, moving fully half the wheat
crop to port, even against the stout rivalry
opposed to him during the granger movement
which finally failed on the complete ruin OF
the firm of Morgan's Sons. Friedlander was
known as the grain king, and that the distinc-
ton was no empty title is shown by the fact
that the London corn exchange adjourned for
three days in respect TO his memory. Fried
lander was jew and had great family, yet
though he had been at times worth millionf
he leaves with the exception of several tracts
of land, scarcely more property than life in
surance policy of $50, 900, such are the vicis-
situdes of trade on the grand scale, and such
have been the immense reverses of fortune in
San Francisco since the death of his friend
Ralston and the suspension of the bank of
California.

THE MARQUIS or LoRNE, who has just been
made governor general of Canada, is the cid
est son and heir of the duke Of Argyll, and
was married in 1871 to Princess Louise, the
fourth daughter of Queen Victoria, that be-
ing the first instance of the marriage of
subject to the daughter of q reigning sover-
eigu. The marquis has been in public life
for ten years past, for, i'll 1865, when he was
only 30 he was returned to Parliament as
member from Argyllshire. Wien his father,
in 1868, went into office under the Gladstone
administration as secretary of state for India,
the son acted as his private secretary. Lord
Walter Campbell, who made a somewhat pro
tracted stay in New York several years ago
and was well known in society, is q younger
brother of the marquis of Lorne. The duke
of Argyll, whose titles descend to his eldest
son, is the most powerful of the Scottish no.
blemen. He is hereditary master of the
queens household in Scotland, chancellor of
the university of st. Andrews, trustee of
the British museum and hereditary sheriff
and lord-lieutenant of Argyllshre. His po-
litical service has been long and active, and
he has also written an elaborate book entitled
The Reign Of Law" His son is also an au-
thor, and published several years ago vol
ume of poems He will not come TO Canada
until November.

INDIAN ELEPHANTS. Mr. Sanderson, the
author of Thirteen Years Among the Wild
Beasts of India" gives some very interesting
statements about elephants and as he was
engaged for several years in capturing the
animals, it is presumed his statements are
facts, although he differs from other writers.
With regard to Sir Emerson Tennent's story
about an elephant that leaped over Il bari-
cade Il feet high Mr.. Sandorson says that
the animal cannot take its four feet off the
ground at the same moment, and can neither
canter, galop nor trot The elephant, he
says is often a stupid animal, but he is obcdi-
ent, gentle and patient. How long the wild
elephant lives is uncertain but Mr.. Sander
son thinks it attains to at least $50 years.
Much exaggention is current with regard to
the animals height the largest seen by the
author measured . #. 10 III. Mt the shoulder,
and yet there have been stories of Indian ele-
plants measuring from II to 30 feet high,
Twice round an elephants foot is said to be
his height and generally this measurement is
exact. The price of elephants has enormous
ly increased of late years. An elephant
which costs the government 5000 to capture,
would bring over $3.50 in the market.

A Tennessee paper, recounting some OF the
experiences of Southern soldiers during the
civil war, narratcs that Edward Cooper, an ar
till.ry man belonging to the army of North
ern Virginia, received a letter from his wife
saying that provisions were so scarce in her
uoighhorhood that unless he came home, she
and her children should all starve to death,
He tried in vain to get furlough, and finally
went to his suffering family without leave.
His wife, who rejoced in his loyalty to the
South was so shocked when she learned how
he had come to her, that she begged him to
reioin his command. He did so as soon as
he had relieved his family, but was duly ar
rested and tried for desertion. He declined
counsel and produced no witnesses he mere
ly handed his wife's letter to the President of
the court, who read it, and in common with
his fellow Officers was moved to tears. New
ertheless, the oourt-it could not do other
wise-found him guilty of desertion, and SEN
fenced him TO death. Gen Lee reviewed the
case, and approved the sentences but par
doned the prisoner and ordered him to report
at once to his battery. better soldier than
Cooper, Lees army did not contain, He
went through the war safely, and is said to be
still living, industrious and contented, in the
bosom of his family.
