Three Days to Live.

The Reno Journal of the 18th has the
following: J.. w. Rover, who is to he
executed on Tuesday next, has, eve
since his last sentence, been very
ugly, doing all that lay within his
limited sphere to annoy those around
him, particularly the officers. Yester-
day morning he told his fellow pris-
oners that he would kill one or
two of those - Sheriffs before
he got through with them" When
Deputy Sheriff Chamberlain handed
him his breakfast through the wicket
he made a violent lunge with his fist
through the aperture into that officers
face, avowing his intention of putting
out his other eye. Fortunately the
violent blow was parted and no harm
resulted. Everything with which he
could do himself or others harm has
been carefully kept from him. Short
lv after his attack upon Chamberlain,
Sheriff Lamb informed Rover of
the refusal of the Board Of Pardons to
commute his sentence. His bravado
Immediately left him, and he grew
deathly pale as he threw up his hands
and exclaimed, "My God I" Since
then he has been very docile, and acts
like a man who has lost the last ray of
hope. At 10 o'clock next Tuesday
morning he will pay the penalty of the
law for the murder of 1. n. Sharp,
committed nearly three years ago.

tors of the Sacramento Union, against
Andrew Marsh, shorthand reporter,
and Addie d. Marsh, his wife, to recover
$50, 900 damages for personal injuries.
The complainant alleges that between

administered to the plaintiff large
quantities of aconite, with intent to
injure and disable him, physically
and mentally; that the plaintiff was
greatly weakened in body and mind,
and confined to his rooms for many
months and prevented from transact
ing any business; that he still
suffers from the effects of the
poison and will continue to suffer
through life; wherefore he prays
judgment for $4,000. 1t Is reported

Mining Phrases.

The Alta is educating its readers on
mining terms, and gives the following
definitions of some of the phrases:
We give below the meaning of some
OF the terms used in mining for the
benefit of the "not posted fully"
A drift is an opening from the shaft,
six to eight feet in height, and four to
six feet in width, and Is made of any
length, Just as circumstances require.
A cross-cut is the same kind of open
ing, and generally runs cross-course
from a drift.
A winze is a small shaft sunk from
n drift to another.
An upraise differs only from a winze
in thatthe digging is upward instead of
downward.
Porphyry is barren rock found in
termixed with ore, sometimes in large,
but more frequently in small quanti-
ties, and also forms q portion of the
encasement of a ledge.
An ore-breast is the ore exposed by
drifts or cross-cuts, and "breasting
out " is the extraction.
Ore slopes are the same as ore
breasts, with this exception, that the
former means the ore overhead, the
latter in front or on the sides.
A lateral drift is a side drift or cross
cut.
A shaft is sup cast" when the cur
rent of the air is upward instead of
downward, in not sucking the air from
the surface. The Ophir shaft has
lately experienced a change from a
"down-cast" to an cup cast"

In THE WRONG BRIDAL Couch.
Men and women have been given land
sold) in marriage from the creation of
the world, and the same will continue
until its destruction. But it would be
we'll for newly-made brides to stick
close to their husbands until they get
acquainted with them, as the following
true incident will show. 1t happened
near New Lisbon, Missouri, and the
local paper of recent date thus relates
it: 'In an adjoining township, last
week, a double marriage occurred in
the same house, and the wedding fes-
t~ivities were celebrated in the old
fashioned style, and in the joyful way
naturally prompted by the blissful
event that made a double couple happy.
About midnight both brides retired to
rest, and in half an hour thereafter the
newly made husbands followed suit.
BY some strange mishap each gentle
man made his way to the wrong room,
and actually occupied a bridal couch
to which he had no claim. Strange as
il may seem the mistake was not dis
covered until daylight, when one OF
the ladies shrieked her surprise after a
vigorous fashion. A general hubbub
was the result, and at last accounts the
| brides were disconsolate. All sorts oil
schemes of reparation were proposed
but it appears that no tangible plan for
undoing the double mistake was ar
rived at. The above episode actually
t~ransEired as related"

A cHARMlNa ACQUAINTANCE.

A story comes to us from Palisade
that illustrates the absence of guile and
the sweet simplicity of a certain Eu-
reka gentleman. He was visiting the
little village on the banks of the Hum
boldt, looking out for the spiritual in
terests OF the denizens of that town,
and naturally sojourned at Baum's
Hotel. A blonde young lady, dashing
and attractive, a trifle loud in her
manners, perhaps, but still fascinating,
occupied the parlor, and her ''dis-
tlngue" appearance made such an i'm
preston on b gentleman that he
sought the hostess and desired an in
PRODUCTION. Mrs. b. blushed, made
some excuse and retired to her room
withou granting the wish. Not to be
baked, Mr.. Baum's aid was sought,
and he complied at once, introducing
them in due form, and then made for
the bank of the river, where he rolled
in a very ecstacy OF laughter, the hills
echoing back his loud ordinations.
In the meantime our friend, who IL a
brilliant cOnversationalist, entertained
his new acquaintance with q fund of
small talk, and finally, growing weary
OF the cramped room, proposed a walk.
The lady acquiesced, and arm-in-arm
they visited MI. Lawlor's office. The
gentleman introduced the lady to
Frank, and then the latter had urgent
business out, and left the room. The
broad grin on his face indicated that
something comical had struck him,
but he failed to explain or to return.
The couple next wendell their way to
the freight office, but Hill had seen
them coming and he incontinently
bolted. In fact, there was a general
hiatus both at the Offices and the few
private dwellings called at. Nobody
was at home, and after a short
ramble along the railroad track the
couple returned to the hotel and passed
the time in pleasant converse until the
arrival of the east bound train, when
he escorted her to the cars, thanked
her for the pleasure her had
afforded him, and wished her a propi.
tious journey. The Eureka bound
train left shortly a%fterward, and he
started on his journey homeward.
During the trip Ed. Kicker casually
inquired il be knew who the lady to
whom he had been SO attentive was,
