Death of Judge Hickey.

Inc people OF Lyon county were
panied and surprised Sunday morn
ing by the announcement of the death
of Judge M. G. Hickey of Dayton at
eleven O'Clock the night previous.
Outside of his circle of nearest friends
it was hardly known that he was sick,
and we learn that the fatal pneumonia
first confined him to bed only five
days before his death. The funeral
Sunday afternoon was conducted by
Dayton Lodge No. 5, 1. O. o. F., the
deceased having been a member of
the Order for 81 years. L. L. Crock
EFT of Reno acted as N. G.; Rev. w.
r. Jenvey, Chaplain, and John Lo-
throp, Marshal. The remaks of Mr..
Crockett were appropriate and feel
ing. The funeral was largely attend
ed, many persons being present from
Silver City, Gold Hill and other
points. Hon. James Crawford, Su-
perintendent of the Mint; A. M. Nc
Cabe, of The Mint, and others were
in attendance from Carson.
Judge Hickey was born in New
York, where his mother is still living.
He came to Nevada in 1861; was
elected Justice Of the Peace for Day
ton township in 1872, reelected in
1874, and again in 1876. He was
formerly married, but his wife died
some twenty years ago in Michigan.
In politics he was staunch Repub-
lican.
Kind friends, during his last i'll
ness, nursed him with tender care
and anticipated every want. Judge
Hickey was Go years of age.

HOW TO MAKE CUTTINGS GROW.

1t has been ascertained that a cutting
will develop roots much sooner in moist
sand than rich soil. But the sand can
not maintain its growth for any length
of time. To prepare pots for raising
cuttings they should be filled nearly to
the brim with rich garden loam-dark
and porus, not clayey and soggy; then
pour in one inch in depth of securing
sand-sea sand will do as well as the
yellow sand. Wet this thoroughly, and
place the cuttings, from which all but
the three or four upper leaves have been
removed, close to the side of the pot
the contact of the ware against the stem
of the cutting promotes its growth
Press the wet sand firmly around the
tiny stem. A great deal of your chance
for success in raising slips and cuttings
depends upon this, Plant as many cut
tings as the pot will hold, from six to
dozen, according to the size of your
pot when they are firmly set in the
sand, two or three can be inserted in
the middle of the pot, Set them away
in dark, warm place for twenty-four
or thirty-six hours. Thus, cuttings viii
grow quickly in hot-bed, because the
temperature is not dry. Their growth
depends great deal upon light, heat
and moisture. If a bud is close at the
base of the cutting it will strike the root
more easily-is not SO apt to decay
The roots shoot from the bud, and the
lower down it is the surer your success.
When the leaves drop, the plant is com
mencing to grow; if they wither on the
stem it has begun to decay. By follow
ing these directions, no one can fail to
grow all kinds Of house-plants. Roses
and all the rarest flowers of the green
houses are propagated in this manner.
Many cuttings die off from the soil be
ing too moist,

SHY SIXTEEN.


She is close on sixteen years of age.
Seventeen may be sweet, but sixteen is
unrythmical, unlovely, angular. There
is no poetry in her movements, no music
in her voice. The hue of her cheeks,
which in a twelvemonth' time may
soften to the velvet ruddiness of the
peach, changes with startling rapidity
from its normal tint to an unromantic
scarlet. Her action is jerky; she has
way of coming into awkward contact
with every available article of furniture,
and at as many points as possible.
The girl of sixteen may be said, SO far
as those to whom she is an object are
concerned, to exist in the future and the
past She isapretty memory and afond
prospect. She has been charming child;
she will yet be delightful maiden. But
her lovelineSs is that of anticipation, and
her grace is that of hope. She may be
on the threshold of fairest womanhood,
but in watching her we stand in a closed
vestibule, midway between landscape
of fascinating freshness and vision of
perfection. Her childhood was thing
of beauty, her ri per girlhood will be a
joy; her present is as grabbed, harsh and
unmusical as the dullest fool ever sup
posed philosophy to be. She is in fact,
now passing through stage which is
analogous to what will be the experience
of her brother few years later; what
ever there is unpoetic, ungraceful, unin-
viting in girlhood that she possesses.
She has all the impressionableness of the
girliSh nature but she has none of the
charm which made that quality so at
tractive year ago, and which will make
it attractive a year hence. She has spicked
up some odd ways, and she is ready to
pick up any number more but they are
not pleasant ways. She has fatal ca
pacity for initiating the eccentricities
of her seniors, and for reproducing the
least agreeable idiosyncrasies of contem-
poraries. As she has odd ways, SO she
has odd fancies. Atschool-and girls
boardingschool is probably the most
purely mischievous institution under
heaven-she has assimilated many gro
tesque and some not too healthy ideas.
She has read books--worthless novels and
silly romanceS-which have inspired her
with the airs and affectations of mawk-
ish sentimentalism. She assumes the
mien of one who has an unutterable Sc
cret, which is inwardly a consuming fire,
wrapped up in her breast. She has made,
or she affects to have made, romantic
friendships among her schoolfellows.-
She corresponds with others like herself,
and reads the letters which she receives
with many contortions of countenance
and changes of color. She sighs for the
society of her friends, and her fond rela-
tives wonder what can be on her mind.
There is no just ground for their anxiety.
1t will be all right enough in the end.
But at present it must be allowed that
our schoolgirl is impracticable, hopeless
1t is passing malady Incidental to girl
hood, and it is entirely the result of that
self-consciousness which, a few months
hence, will have charged to self-posses-

SELECTED MATTER.
HICKMAN AND CANADA BILL.

The New York CLIPPER says: Canada
Bill one time was passing through Wash
ington, on his way to New York, after
a successful gambling trip on the steam
boats of the Western and Southern rivers.
The thought struck him that he would
stop and see Beau Hickman, the great
wag, then world famous as a clever trick
ster. The two sports met on the steps
of the huge marble Capitol. Hickman
had been pointed out to Canada Bill by
a bootblack.
as your name Hickman, pard ?" in
quired Bill, extending his hand.
"The same, sir. Whose hand might
l have the honor of pressing ?" return
ed Hickman, thinking that his new ac-
quaintance was newly arrived Western
member of Congress.
"The hand you grasp, pard, respond
ed Bill, els one generally known as be-
ing more able to deal cleverly than fair

razor strops. l am-''

"Shake the number r-two-times-for

Chow long are you going to stop in
town."
"Stopped off expressly to make your
acquaintance,

"No.''
"Then I'll turn you to good account.
How much money have you to venture

"Got SO, ,ooo."

"Right here, :" and Canada Bill pulled

elbow would you like to turn that into

"Name the job, and I'm your man ?"
"Sh Well take drink, " and HiCk-
man led the monte-tosser into the card
room of fashionable sample-room.
The next day genteel, solemn-look-
ing man entered the gentleman's par
lors at Wizards Hotel, which were
filled with Senators, Congressman, and
office seekers and holders of all grades.
He carried a small notebook in his
hand, and as he approached each group
he would bow and say:
Gentlemen, am collecting money
for a widow lady and her three children.
They belong to once proud but now
cast-down family. If you will aid them
please ask no further questions, but give
what you see fit"
In this entire hotel the gentlemanly
beggar only received three donations of
twenty-five cents each. The others
waved him impatiently aside, while some
plainly told him he was an impostor.-
Before leaving he said quietly to the
three gentlemen who had given him
money:
"This will be repaid to you ten-fold
tomorrow evening at this hour.
He then took the address of each, ask
ing them to not fail to be in the parlor
next evening to get their money, and

SOBER THOUGHTS.

Mistakes made in early life are some
times never rectifed.
Some speakers and writers have
river of words, but only a spoonful of
thoughts.
Man wastes his mornings in anticipa-
ting his afternoons, and wastes his after
moons in regretting his mornings.
When any calamity has been suffered,
the first thing to be remembered is how
much has been escaped.
Contentment is not happiness. An
oyster may be contented. Happiness is
compounded of richer elements.
We should do our cunning as we do
by our courage-always have itready to
defend ourselves, never to offend others.
There are many shining qualities in the
mind of man, but none SO useful as dis
cretion.
Thosewho have finished by making all
others think with them, have usually
been those who began by daring to think
for themselves.
1t is great blunder in the pursuit of
happiness not to know when we have
got it; that is, not to be content with
reasonable and possible measure Of it.
Good breeding is not confined to exter-
mails, much less to any particular dress
or attitude of the body. 1t is the art of
pleasing, or, contributing, as much as
possible, to the ease and happiness of
those with whom you converse.
When you speak evil OF another you
must be prepared to have others speak
evil of you. There is an old Buddhist
proverb which says: "He who indulges
in enmity is like one who throws ashes
to windward, which comes back to the
same place and covers him all over"
1t was a saying of Aristotle that all
noble-minded men are inclined to sad
ness. 1t is not merely the feeling that
their own lot is hard one which op-
presses them; it is something more-it
is their inward sympathy and conscious
ness of participation in the suferings of
the human race to which they belong.
Don't be discouraged if, in the out
set of life, things do not go on smooth
ly. 1t seldom happens that the hopes
we cherish for the future are realized.
The path of life appears smooth and
easy, but when we come to travel it We
find it uphill and trying enough. Don't
be discouraged under any circumstances.
Go steadily forward. Rather consult
your own conscience than the opinion
of men, though the latter is not to be
disregarded.
Truth from goodness is soft and gen
tie; falsehood from evil is hard and
fierce; hence the origin of hard and
bitter speeches. Goodness of DISPOSE
ton manifests itself by gentleness and
sweetness; by gentleness, in that it loves
| to do good.

CAN'T RUB IT OUT.-"Don't write
there" said father to his son, who
was writing with diamond on the win
dow. "Why not ?" "RecauSe you

WILL He SUCCEEp?-In nine cases
out of ten mans life will not be a sue
cess if he does not bear burdens in his
childhood. If the fondness or the van
ity of father or mother have kept him
from hard work, if another always help
ed him out at the end of his row, if in
stead of taking his turn at pitching off,
he slowed away all the time-in short,
if what was light always fell to him,
and what was heavy about the same
work to some one else; if he has been
permitted to shirk, until shirking has
become habit, unless miracle has
been wrought, his life will be failure,
and the blame will not be half so much
his as that of his weak and foolish pa
rents. On the other hand, il boy has
been brought up to do his part, never
allowed to shirk any legitimate respon-
sibility, or to dodge work, whether or
not it made his head ache, or soiled his
hands, until bearing burdens has be-
come matter of pride, the heavy end
of the wood his choice, parents as they
bid him goodbye may dismiss their
fears. The elements of success are his,
and at some time, and in some way the
world will recognize his capacity.

A NICE OLD MAN.-Old e..
Brown had long the reputation of beng
the stingiest man in Ohio, and the fol-
lowing incident regarding him is said
to be true:
One day discussion arose as to the
extent of his meanness, and in order to
settle dispute, a committee Of three
went to the old ruinous dwelling where
Brown resided. He met them at the
door, and the lady member of the COM
mittee said:
"Mr. Brown, we have come to see if
you are willing to accept barrel of
cider"
"Good cider?" asked the miser.

"Tap it, and give me glass to drink

"Assuredly. Anything else?" asked
the fair speaker, waxing indignant at
the miser's barefaced meanness.

Old Brown looked at her a moment,
the greed of avarice sparkled in his
deep-set eyes, then he slowly muttered:
"What would you give me for the
barrel after the cider is gone ?"
