SUDDEN DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT
OF NEVADA

The Elko Independent of Saturday has the
following account of the sudden death of a
prominent citizen ''Our citizens were as
founded and panied early this morning by the
sad announcement of the death of Levi Will
sey, one of our earliest and most prominent
citizens. His apparent good health yester-
day, and in fact up to late hour last even
ing, rendered it difficult on the part of his
friends and acquaintance to realize that he
could have been so suddenly taken away
Up to between ten and eleven o'clock last
night, he was in company with several friends
apparently in his usual health, but shortly
after leaving them for his room, DR.. Meigs
was aroused by rapping at the door of his
office, and upon opening the he found Mr..
Wilsey standing Just outside, in an almost
helpless condition from the effects of stroke
of paralysis. The same paper adds that he
died the next morning, and further says con-
cerniug him: Deceased was a native of
Hudson, New York, and came to this coast
while yet young man, and had thoroughly
identified himsel with its customs and insti-
buttons, being in every respect citizen Of the
Pacific Coast. He had long been, and was at
the time of his death, member in good
standing of Tehama Lodge, No. 3, F. & A
NJ. of Sacramento, California, and it was in
respect to his memory that the Masonic flag
OF Elko Lodge was suspended at half mast

London, January 14.-Baroness Burdett,
as a representative of the contributors of the
Turkish relief fund, has received the follow
ing telegram from Layard, British Ambassador
at Constantinople; THE distress is increas-
Ing terribly. Fugitives are arriving by thou
sands. Five trains are expected to-day (Sat-
urday) from Adrainople, bringing 10000
fugitives, mostly women and children, who
VIII make the Journey in open trucks during
a heavy snowfall. A large number of other
fugitives will arrive shortly have engaged
a house near the station to receive the most
destitute and provide for the distribution of
food. Twelve hundred sufferers were lodged |
and relieved to-day. Funds are urgently re
CURED The Turkish Government is doing |
its best, but its action is almost paralized by |
the overwhelming magnitude of the misery it |
has to deal with"

Burning of "a British Ship.

New ORLEANS, La, Feb 24.-ThC
British ship Tornado, Captain Ellis
loading for Liverpool, caught fire this
morhing; cause unknown. She had
on board five thousand bales cotton,
the greater portion of which will be
badly damaged by water. The guam
tty burned is unknown. The cargo
and vessel Were valued at q quarter OF
a million dollars. The cargo was in
sured. The Tornado is owned in Liv-
erpool. The total loss will probably
be $125,000.
A former resident of Philadelphia,
writing from Milledgeville, Georgia
under date of February 18th, says: This
is beautiful day; very little fire needed;
We have plsnte our potatoes, and are
about beginning gardening in earnest,
and also enjoying luxury which you
Philadelphians cannot, having our fresh
shad. The spring flowers are out in
abundance, making everything around
look beautiful and bright. The city con
tains number of good stores of differ
ent kinds, and prices are almost as low
as in Philadelphia. The people, both
white and black, seem to be- more pros
porous here than in Alabama, and the
place reminds me of Philadelphia.

Hints on Ounce Culture.

A writer IN the New Jersey Mirror
gives come hints upon ounce culture
which may be worth nothing; at any
rate they contain the views of prac~
tical ounce culturist. He says that the
tree does not require more room than
the average dwarf pear. Tho Orange
variety is the best. 1t can be grown
anywhere where the soil is "rich" and
not too wet. Along a wall or fence is
good location. The trees thould
stand about eight feet apart and set
rather deep. See that there are no
worms IN the stem at the ground, lit
Tie below and above the surface, at
planting. This pest will attack every
tree and should be ferretted out in
spring and fall; but it will proba-
bly, get the upper hand and finish the
tree In from six to nine years. This
must be expected and provided
against-and it will be asked how. BY
having another batch of trees coming
on and ready to take their places.
This is better than attempting to keep
alive old, sickly trees, whose useful
ness is over; and will continue the reg
ular supply of fruit for market and
regular customers at good prices there
Will be tor all that can be raised.

How TO Keep Boys Mt Home

AAUsE THEM, PLAY CARES WITH THEM
AND MAKE HOME PLEASANT.
Rev: W. II. ii. Murray in the Golden
Rule.
Amuse your boys If you wish TO keeep
them at bone. Play whist with them.
"What3' ] hear some one of you say.
"Why, | am member of DIR. So>and-so's
church." Well, let him go to the dogs for
once; let yonr church go to the dogs, and
save your boy from DING. When was
young man at college there was a dea-
cons son there at the same time, and he
told me he learned to play "old sledge"
on tht hay-mow wheD his father was
reading commentaries. 1t is fact, and
not matter of laughter, and that same
young man died drunkard and a gam
bier. He lived in the Connecticut Val
ley, and could give you his fathers

me more than dozen times If his faith

Teach them 10 feel that you are depend

TO you, make your home happy in way
that boys like, and not in the way that
some churches like. Boys are worth
more than church forms, for boys are
germs OF angels. or else they are the seed
out of which devils spring. If | felt
that my boy would eat peanuts in church
that he would go TO sleep because he

half OF the day under the hedges or by
some running spring. | should preach
TO that boy in way that would make
him forget his peanuts and sleeping in
church. The running spring should
remind him Of that fountain of living
water which flows from the throne OF
God. II there " as bit OF sea, 1t should
remind him of that sea of crystal before
the throne Of God. If there was an empty
acorn, 1t should remind him of the temple
OF clay out of which the spirit has de-
parted. All things should be service
to God. The fields and the skies should
be the church; and that boy should be
made follower of Christ in that way
| because he is best adapted to that kikd
OF service.

Heating a CITY nv steam.

LocKPoRT, N. Y, Feb. A.-The exc
pertinent ct heating this city by steam,
under the Holly system, has proved
bigkly successful. The following practi-
oai results are reported by those having
u IN charge. Three miles of pipe, pro-
periy covered with non-conducting ma
terial, laid underground through some of
the principal streets radiates from the
central boiler-heuse, and fifty different
dwellings and other edSfices, including
one large public school building, have
oeen thoroughly warmed all winter by
steam thus distributed and turned on or
on az required by the tenant with the
1acihty OF water or gas supply. Dwellings
more than mile distant from the steam
generator are heated as readily as those
next door. Steam metres are provided
so that each party need pay only for
what he consumes. 1t Is claimed that
the system can be so developed as to
furnish steam at fifty pounds pressure,
transmitted through twenty miles of pipe,
thus supplying power for engines and
manufacturers and steam for cooking
ana laundry purposes, for eXtinguishing
confiagrations, for clearing streets of ice
or snow, or protecting hydrants from
frost. The rates actually charged to the
consumer here do not exceed what his
coal and wood cost him, and produce the
same results, thus saving the expense OF
engineers or firemen, the cost of furnaces
and the trouble of managing them. AT
the same time the heat is always under
control.

Electric Light.

New experiments with electric light
have been made IN Europe and America
with tiattering success. In San Francis
co the Bulletin describes n process re-
Gently invented by trio of electricians
The Jet produced was of remarkable bril-
liancy. Half IA dozen blocks off its re-
tiected rays were stronger than those of
the full moon, which IL somewhat resem-
bles in tone, although differing from
moonlight in not disturbing colors. All
colors are shown true by electric light.
The Jet itself possesses all the intensity
of the suns brilllancv, and the eye is
similarly affected by looking at it. The
inventors claim that the streets of San
Francisco can be lit with 1t at a cost not
exceeding Sl20,0 900 per annnm, and pos
siby for 100000. The city now pays
over $500, 600 year. 10 do the work no
more than fifty lights would be needed
each of which would be accompanied, of
course, with reflectorS to direct the hight
where required. The experiments in
doors and IN the open air, notwlthstand-
ing the rain and the fact that the wires
were not insulated, were ominently sue
cessfu.
With the new dynamo-electric ma
chine, lately invented by Mr.. Varley and
DIR. Siemens, of London, the calculation
| is made that 100 horsepower, applied
through a suitable apparatus, would
yield an Illuminating power of not less
than 100, 900 candles, which, distributed
from three points, would not cost more
than % shillings per hour-each lamp OF
| llight-centre enabling small print to be
read at distance of quarter of mile
Putting gas, says a London journal, at
the unheard-of low cost of only 2shilliugs
per cubic 1000 feet for light of u
candles per hour, there is still an
economy of four to one in favor of the
electric system. Where possibility ex-
lists of erecting a stream-engine to sup
ply the requisite force, the cost of the
electric light will be only one-fourth OF
that for gas. 1t is evident that all the
great cities of the world will, ere long, be
Illuminated by electric light at great
saving of expense, and much more effec-
lively than they are with the gas now in
use.

Fatal Row Among Negroes.

Norfolk, Va. Feb. "a. 1878.
At an early hour this morning des-
perate row occurred IN a negro brothel on
Lower Church street, between William
Watson, William Howard and Samuel
Marks. all negroes, resulted from quar-
rel over a quantity of rum. In the me
lee Watson was beaten so terribly byHow-
ard witha club that he died on the ground
short time afterward. Others Of the
party were cut with knives and beaten
with various weapons. The Murderer
and several others of the party were ar
rested and committed to Jail. All were
perfectly crazed with rum.

HOW A PRINCETON COLLEGE FRESHMAN
ESCAPED THE USUAL HAzING.

HOW PRINCETON COLLEGE FRESHMAN
ESCAPED THE USUAL HAZING.
Speaking of the recent troubles at
Princeton College, correspondent says
There is good reason to believe that
there has been more hazing and disorder
in Princeton this term than has been
brought to light. The condition in which
the students 90 about the college grounds
and through the streets is Illustrated by
the reply of Freshman, who was asked
why he and his companions carried arms?
Why he answered, Il don't carry any
thing but revolver. l had knife, but
lent that to fellow who hadn't any
pistol William n. Strong, of Washing
ton, ID. C., is one of the students in the
Freshman class. He is the son of Judge
William Strong, of the United States
Supreme Court. Mr. Strong boards in
the University Hotel, near the college
grounds, and his room is in the fourth
story of what is known as the Students
wing A few weeks ago party of So
phomores entered Mr.. Strong's room in
the evening and ordered him to go to
bed. He refused at first, but after some
discussion it was agreed that the Sopho-
mores should leave the room long enough
to allow him to undress and retire, and
that he should not lock the door. As
soon as the Sophomores were out instead
of going to bed, Strong noiselessly raised
the window and stepped out upon the
narrow cornice that runs in front of it,.
Holding on to this as well as he could,
he made his way, at the imminent risk
of his neck. to the window of an adjoin-
ing room which was occupied by anoth-
er Freshman, and thus escaped his tor
mentors. This was his first taste of haz-
ing, and he took immediate steps to
prevent "A repetition. Being already pro-
vided with n revolver, he purchased a
powerful bulldog, which he Kept chained
in his room, and which still ornaments
that bachelors apartments. On Tuesday
evening, just in the face of the shooting
of young Atterbury by party of Fresh
men, Il squad of Sophomores went to
Strong's room to give him another taste
of h9zing. He had wind of their coming,
and waited for them. When their inn
patient knock sounded upon the door he
unclaimed the bull dog, cooked the revol-
yer, and laid it conveniently upon the
table, opened the door, and invited the
Sophomores 10 come in. Upon that
occasion Mr.. William n. Strong was not
hazed.

Something That Wells Has Not
Mentioned.

From the New Orleans Democrat.
j. Madison Wells is reminded that
people who live in glass h ouses must be
careful about shying stones. There IS
occurred no more afro cious murder than
th 1T OF Mat Despaler by J. Madison
Wells. At the time Wells was a man of
wealth and high social standing. Des-
palier was poor man without fri ends
A disagreement had occurred between
the parties. when they met Wells was
armed with a shotgun. Despalier was
unarmed and threw up his arms to show
that he was defenseless, when wells fired
upon him and killed him.

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-12-05

The Greenback party was only
beneficial to the Republicans in the
late elections. In Pennsylvania, it
elected the Republican State ticket,
made secure the election of Don
CAMERON, the hardest of all hard
money men, to the United States
Senate, and elected Republican Con-
gressmen in eight districts. In
Ohio, New York and Connecticut
the Democrats were defeated by the
Nationals, who played into the hands
of the men who have always'heet
the defenders of the banks and mon
opolists, and in the latter States thu
Republicans gained eight or ten Con
gressmen by the Nationals dividing
the opposition vote. In Illinois th,
National division elected the Re
publican State ticket, and helped tn
Republicans to carry five Congress
ional districts. In North Caroline
Maryland and Missouri the Nation
ais defeated three Democratic Con
gresham, electing two Republics
Nationals and one Republican. Th
thousands of Democrats who vol
ed the National-Greenback tickle
should now be able to see how the,
were duped.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-12-05

The last session of the 45th Con-
gress began IN Monday, December
I'd, and expires by constitutional linn
itation on the Sd of March, 1879.
The impression that the new Con
gress will convene on the 4th OF
March next is erroneous. The SEN
ate will probably convene in execu-
tive session at that time, should Mr..
Hayes have any nominations to sub
NIT, but the new Congress will not
meet until the first Monday in Decem,
Der, 1879, unless called together at an
earlier day by the President, or they
should pass an act at the approach.
ing short session las vas done a few
days prior to the expiration Of the
39th Congress, in 1861 fixing the
time of meeting for the first session
of the new Congress on the 4th Of
March next. 1t is not at all likely
that Mr.. Hayes will exercise the con
stitutional power of converting Con.
gress at an earlier day than Decem
Der, 1879, and there does not now
seem to be any exigency, political OF
otherwise, which would make it ex.
pedient for Congress to exercise theil
own power of changing the existing
law,

people did not take the
hint, and elect men OF the same ilk to
Congress. Their stupidity is as un-
pardonable as their ingratitude. Of
course they deserve a new dispensa-
ton Of the bloody shirt for their
wickedness. And it is annouced
that. in view of this atrocious peril
dy of the Southern people, the Pres
ident has decided to go back to the
old Grant Republican policy of force,
with all it implies. We are not sur
prised at this change of the Presi-
dents alledged mind. His policy
was not bottomed on principle, but a
mere trick. 1t has been shown that
he bought the Presidency by con-
senting to recognize Hampton and
Nichols, the Southern Democrats
agreeing to stop flibustering in Con-
gress on those terms. He adopted
the Democratic policy towards the
South in the hope q f>securing politi-
cal supporters there, but the chat
was too empty to deceive anybody.
and his net is empty. Now he hopes
to reunite the Republican party he
has divided by adopting more strin.
gent measures, and, unable to gain
Southern votes by moral means, pro.
poses to resort TO the good old Re.
publican methods of reconstruction
AID carpet-bag days, and get them
by fraud and force. Perhaps in this
way the Republicans will manage to
count in another President in 1880.
And then again perhaps they will

THE PERFIDIous souTHRoNs.

1t is reported, on what seems to be
good authority, hat the Southern
elections have convinced Hayes Of
the perfidious character of the South
ern people. They have electeda solid
delegation of Democrats to Congress.
And this, too, after he had exhibited
himself in the Southwest, and dis
tributed his olandest smiles promis
cously. And did he not appoint Key,
a Southerner, to a place in his Cabi-
net? And did he not also recognize
Wade Hampton as Governor of South
Carolina, and Nichols as Governorof
Louisiana? And has he not prophe
sled pleasant things of the South,
and done what he could to divide
the Democratic party and revive the
old Wing ditto? 1t is wonderful
how ungrateful some people can be.
How could the South send Democrats
to Congress when the Republicans
nominated such distinguished Re-
publican patriots and immaculate
statesmen as j. Madison Wells, of
Returning Board infamy, and Ander-
son, who was convicted of a peniten-
tiary offense and was saved from
prison by a mere. technicality? And
both these men, infamous as men
can be, ran for Congress as regular
Republicans and Greenbackers.-
Perfidious Sout6erners. Never can
they be trusted more, because, for
sooth, they prefer to be represented
by honest and capable Democrats
rather than send the most unmitiga-
ted s%coundrels out of jail to Con
gress.
1t is obviously very hard to please
his Majesty. He has shown what
sort of men he likes in office by CIV
ing the Liverpool Consulship to
Packard, and putting the men who
committed forgery and perjury and
other crimes to get him into the
Presidency into paying Federal posi-
tons. 1t is passing strange that the
