BOSkO.

Society, which the think OF it astonshes the
more, is founded upon Coth.-lSGrtor ReSartuS.
We have quoted, as above, from that astute
but most eccentric writer, Thomas Carlyle.
In another place in the same work from which
ton of an imaginary skeptic of the utility and
Importance of Clothes, says: "When thou,
thyself, a watery, pulpy, slObbery freshman

and puking i'll thy nurses arms; sucking thy
coral and looking forth into the world in the
blankest manner, what had st thou been with
out thy blankets, and bibs and other nameless
hullsl A terror to myself and mankind"
But suppose Carlyle had read these follow
ing words, with what establishment would his
eyes have plugged out! "SIx SHIRTS FOR

cuded that Sartor Resartus had fulfilled its
destinyl What shall be said and what not

which is the original Italian spelling for Bosko,

Sweet summer suits, so cheap and neat,
Such handsome shoes for handsome feet,
And shirts and collars all complete.

And linen busters long and strong,

AS TO GUNS AND AMMUNITION.

MORNING APPEAL: That all who desire may
understand the condition of the State Armory
when the present Indian war broke out and
now, | submit the following facts: The State
owns three classes of guns: LIST, the breech-
loading 40 calibre rifles, all of which are in
the hands of the organized militia. I'd, the
reech-loading 80 calibre rifles, of which
there were 235 on hand when the Indian
trouble commenced All Of these have been
distributed as follows: Sent to Cornucopia
14O, to Winnemucca 60, to Elko 80. Sd, the
old Springfield muzzle loading rifles, made in
1862.
The only rifle ammunition owned by the
State is for the so calibre guns. l might add
that Mr. Parkinson, of Humboldt county,
had three so calibre disabled rifles repaired
and was permitted to take them home.
Battle Mountain asked for arms, but upon
being informed that the State had no ammu-
milton for any guns on hand, declined guns
without ammunition.
Winnemucca asked for additional arms.
Being given the same information as Battle
MOI ntain, Mr. Wood, County Commissioner,
asked for twenty guns and they were sent.
As these guns have been out of use | believe
for many years by the Z. S, Army, it would
be difficult no doubt to find ammunition for
them, but they are good rifles, and upon
buying or making a pair of bullet moulds,
they are as efficient is any other muzzle-
loading rifles Respectfully,
WILLIAM GARRARD.

preaching racing term not wanting in attrac-
tons In addition to the already liberal

2;3O record, not even barring Morgan"

trotting race will be for $50 horses, the purse
amounting to $3.50 And all this extra turf

ladies', to the number of eight or ten, will
leave on Sunday next for the Lake. They will
visit the principal points, Glenbrook, Camp
bells Hot Springs, Tahoe City, Yanks, but
spend most of their time at Major Gardner S
camp. They intend to try camping out for
while, which is the sensible plan, for we
know of nothing more stupid than going off
to enjoy outdoor life and spending ones
time indoors, which most of our tourists do.
On THE TRAIN.-On last nights lightning

A CURIOUS CusroM.-An English
gentlemen, who has lately travelled in
Palestine, recently gave description of
tho curious scenes that are enacted in the
Church Of the Holy Sepulchrc. He said

would bo surprised to SEQ IL party of SOL

their guns stacked within reach. 1t

their prayers and chants, and all is very
quiet till about II quartor 10 seven, when
those who have tho privilege Of the next

other hand, think II they can keep

As some OF the sec. uses torches, wax
candles, slaves, or crooks, in their worship
they proceed to uso them as weapons OF
offence or defense, and free fight ensues.

THE FUCEsIA.-Some time in the first
quarter of the present century, gentle
man from Liverpool, while walking
through street in Mapping, saw in the
window of a humb.e-looking tenement
graceful little shrub, with dark green
leaves and beautifully pendueus carna.
ton blossoms. lie was charmed with
the new floral gem, and when he return
ed TO Liverpool called upon a celebrated
florist, to whom he described the plant.
The curiosity Of the florist, who aid not
know any plant which came up to the
description, was SO greatly excited that
he set off immed lately for London. Hav-
ing found the house, by seeing the plant
in the window, he entered, and ascer-
tanned that its owner was the wife Of a
sailor, and that her husband had brought
the plant home from the West Indies as
love Offering to his young spouse. The
delighted florist made overtures for the
purchase OF the fuchsia, which were at
first sstrenuously refused. After some
little time, however, he got possession of
the much coveted prize. Having given
the soilor's wife handsome sum Of mon
ey in hand, and promise that the first
plant raised from it should be sen to her.
he started for Liverpool, and, after prop
er treatment, he soon had the plant ex
hibited in MS show room, where it instant
ly attracted the attention OF amateurs.
After fulfilling his promise to the sailors
wife at Mapping, he realized some $500

and was thus well repaid for his enter

A MIRACLE.-Thec claim Of Pope Plus
TX. to beatidcation has been materially
strengthened by the latest reported mira
Gle said to have been performed in ans
wsr to prayers addressed 10 his departed
spirit, and has been with due formalty
laid before the commission specially ap-
pointed by Loe XIII. TO inquire into this
claim. Fortunate Rotsl, an old woman, ,
had been a sufferer for ten years from q
chronic disease OF the leg. SO great we
her poverty that she had been unable
during the whole of that period to get
even medical advice. She was advised
by Count Soderini 10 address her prayers
to the deceased Pontiff, in the hope that
he might perhaps take pity on her mis-
cry. The unfortunate woman took the
hint, and every day might be seen pros
trate before the tomb of the departed
Pontiff, which she bathed with tears
The reward of her devotion came at last,
according to her ewn story. " On the
18th of May" she says, L retired to rest
as usual. During the nigat fct the

The CHIN AND THE HAND.-I is be-
lived by many persons that some of loves
NANTES tations may DO determined with
considerable accuracy by the form Of the
chin. A pointed chin is said to belong to
those who have beau ideal, and will not
easily be satisfied with any one of the
real men or women by whom he or she
may be surrounded. This chin and the
sentiment indicated, are more common
among women than among men. Per-
sons with the indented chin have great
desire to be loved, and are unhappy with
out the friendship of one of the opposite
sex. Such chins are more common in
men than in women. Thenarrow, square
chin is most frequently found among wo-
men, and indicates desire to love. A
person with this sign largely developed
will marry the object of their fancy, re-
gard!ess of wealth, position, or any other
consideration. Where the chin is broad
and square, violent love, or, at least, n
very earnest, devoted attachment-a feel
ing bordering on worship-is suggested,
and is usually accompanied by jealously
and distrust. The broad, round chin
shows ardent love, with great steadfast-
ness and permanence in affection. Men
and women thus constituted make loving
and faithful husbands and wives.
In his volume on the "Mysteres of the
Hand" NJ. Desbarroles divides hands
into three sorts-the first sort having fin
gers with pointed tops the second, fin
gers with square tops the third, fingers
with spade shaped tops-by "spade-
shape" is meant fingers that are thick at
the end, having little pad of flesh at
each side Of the nail The first type of
fingers belongs to characters possessed of
rapid insight into things-to extra sensi-
tive people +; to pious people whose piety
is of the contemplative kind to the i'm
pulsive, and to all poets and artists in
whom ideality is prominent trait. The
second type belongs to scientific people ;
to sensible, self contained characters !;
to most of our professional men, who
steer between the wholly practical course
than they of the spade shaped fxgers
take, and the too visionary bent of the
people with pointed fingers. The third
type pertains to those whose instincts are
material to the people who have a genius
for commerce, and high appreciation of
everything that tends to bodily ease and
comfort also to people Of great activity.
Each finger, no matter what the kind of
hand, has one joint representing each Of
these. Thus, the division Of the fnger
which is nearest the palm stands for the
body (and corresponds with the spade
shaped type), the middle division
represents mind Ohe square topped). -
the top, soul (the pointod). If the top
joint of the finger be long, it denotes
character with much Imagination or
ideality, and leaning towards the theo-
retical rather than the practical. The
middle part of the finger, if large, prom
ises logical, calculating mind-a com
mon sense person. The remaining Joint,
if long and thick, denotes nature that
cings more to the luxurss than to the
reAnements of life.

THE Bank of England note is almost
square in form, and is printed in black
ink on piece of pure linen paper, with
uncut edges. The letters are in script and
old English, and the entire plate is as
plain as a pipe stem. TO the casual OBJ
server it seems to be the easiest thing in
the world for tho counterfeiter, but the
great barrier to his success would be the
plain piece of paper, which has water
line impression of the great stamp of the
bank, which it would be impossible to
initiate.

1t has long been the impression
among sound moral philosophers
thet in the historical case of the
roasted chestnuts, wherein the cat
got her paws burned and the mon
key ate all the fruit, that justice
would have divided the burns and
the nuts equally between the two op-
orators. This impression is the rip
ened judgment of the wisdom of the
world after a million or more years
of careful consideration of the sub
iect. The case of Mr.. Hayes and
the Louisiana Returning Board, in
all it's ESSENTIAL features, is identical
with the monkey and the cat. The
Judgment of the world has been
made up, and justice requires that
Hayes should accept, without squirm-
ing, his share of the burns, and de-
liver up to the Returning Board a
portion of the chestnuts. 1t is a
mighty bad band of thieves, among
whom there can be found no honor.

Assuming the population of the
United States to be forty-five millions
u currency is less than fifteen dol
lars per capita. This is in the hands,
not ofthe people, but of the bankers,
the brokers, the money lenders who
persist in saying that there is too
much money in the country. 1t is
the money-lenders, the note shaver,
the two per cent. Shylock, the men
that purchase property at tax sales,
who hover about court houses to grab
bargains; who, in all the towns and
school districts, hold the notes of
their neighbors and hold themselves
in readiness to pounce upon the debt
or, that are bowling against a suffi-
cient currency. Having contracted
the currency from forty dollars per
capita, to fifteen the money power
still is not satisfied. Let the people
vote with the party that advocates a
peoples currency policy and good
times will come.
