SAYS the Reno Ga@ette: Lew Walker and
Pierre Humbert came in close contact with
some poisonous animals during their recent
trip to the south. One evening as Mr.. Walk
er was picking up key of water with the
intention of raising it to his lips, he felt
peculiar sensation in one of his fingers, a
tingling that induced him to suddenly set
down the keg. He saw at once that he had
been stung by a scorpion. To suck the
poison from the wound was the work of a
moment. That done he cut out the bite
with pocket knife, poured ammonia into the
wound and tied string around the finger
close to the hand. An inward application
of whisky and the prompt measures describ-
ed prevented any i'll effects of the poison.
On the same day Mr. Humbert had the mis-
fortune to seat himself on a tarantula. The
venomous creature Immediately resented the
sffront by giving him ferocious bite which
caused him to instantly resume standing
position. Fortunately the poison was not
rapidly absorbed into his system and the
application of remedial agents prevented
any serious i'll effects.

spectacles around us, we never expect to.
Suppose it does not break up happy homes;
it breathes pestilence, distrust, contempt and

We have seen noble hearted women cling to
loathsome drunkards for the love they bore

devils driven to final ruin by heartess wives,

it was ruin, brought about by the same bad
cause.

Woodruff and CIafIin's Luck.

NEW YORK, September 26th.-A
London letter to the Brooklyn Eo-
gle says: ''In almost every portion
of the Union the names of Victoria
Woodruff aud FEMME G.. Clati,n
will be rememb ered, but it is not
generally known that the ladies
are permanently living in London.
and in style at that. Their resi-
dence is AT Emperor's Gate, South
Kingston, and is quite a fashiona-
ble part of the city. An item of
news that was communicated to
me the other day, | think, will as
tonish you all. 1t is this: That
in few months they are both to
be married to members of the Eng.
lish aristocracy. But how did
they manage this? Well, L suppose
by power of fascination. You may
remember that some three years az
Victoria G. came over to England
to give fifty public lectures. Sever
al times she appeared, but on the
tenth night she happened to be
fortunate enough to attract and
captivate a gentleman of birth and
riches, who has offered her his
heart and hand; and soon she will
share his estate and titles. Her
sister, Miss Claflin, also has found
a husband among the upper ten,
and so these two remarkable
women are splendidly fixed for life.
1t is certainly strange that after
the very varied career of these la
dies, they should come to this ex-
elusive and reserved community,
aud by their personal magnetism
have obtained their present posi-
ton In social life."

There is no nobler office in the
world than to nobly, honestly, pure
ly entertain the people. To be
amused is to cake the bitter drop OF
gall out of the things of life.
Amusement takes away the sting
of care and furnishes a medicine
for the heart. 1t cures the miasma
of the mind, and the art of anus
ing men, women and children in
nocently ia thing of which the
proudest might be proud. The en-
tertainment which can win the
elevated and the noble to smile de-
serves the respect and gratitude OF
every person; to make people
laugh; to carry them out of them
selves aud out of the hard world
about them, is task for the noblest
Intellect. Such things are accom-
plished every Sunday at Washing
ton Gardens. Be sure and come

Can't Afford to Marry.
New York Graphic. ]

Girls, do you hear this? Many
good men are crying, "Can't afford
to msrryW Why? "Expense of
supporting wife? Might not
wives be made self-supporting, or
partly so? Isn't there something
wrong in this system which makes
matrimony dependent on q mans
ability to pay all his wife's ex-
prnses? Is it not filing the land
with old maids? Has it not done
so for the last half century? Who
marry most? What race? The
people who care nothing for keep
ing up style. The foreign born,
whose women turn to aud tend the
shop. The cultivated American is
not the marrying man. He likes
the goods on exhibition, but they
are too costly for his every day
wear. Hence, oft they remain on
the counter until shop worn. This
is a crying evil. Our best men are
not marrying. Because so many
of our girls are saying: "You must
take me for better, for worse, to
feed me, to clothe me. to house me,
to warm me, to keep me clad in
the fashion, TO give house proper
tionate to my style, to keep me in
pin money; aud / will condescend
to live with you, and take your
money, and do nothing to earn
more, and to lament, if things go
wrong, that l didn't marry better,
and you must regard it as great
favor on my part" This man
wants you pretty badly, but it's too
heavy a contract. Things must be
rearranged, so that you can carry
more of your end of the log,

The Fort Wayne (Texas) Demo-
crdt reports that in Johnson
county lady was visited by two
of her lady fiiends who spent the
day with her. She told them of
having lately come into possession
of large sum of money, and that
the absence of her husband annoyed
her because she was afraid of being
robbed. That night "a stranger
stopped at her house, and during
the night, being awakened by u
noise IN the lady's room, he looked
through the window and saw two
negroes choking her in the bed.
He fired at them and killed both,
aud just then two persons fled from
near the house. On investigation
1t was found that the negroes were
the lady's guests disguised, and IL
Is supposed the Two who fled were
their husbands.

Tho Teryitoyiol Ennositor of Sen.

The Territorial Ecpositor of Sep
TENDER Goth, says: A great many
camels are running wild along the
banks of the ella in this Territory.
They are q great source Of annoy
ance to teamsters, as they some-
times make their appearance on
the highway and frighten mules
and horses. We understand that
arrangements are being made to
collect the cameIs together and
take them to Colorado, where, it is
thought, they can he sold at good
prices. 1t is said that a camel will
travel from rs to 100 miles day,
packing 800 pounds. If this is SO,
we do not see why they could not
be used in Arizona.
1t will be seen from the follow
ing, which we clip from the Tucson
Star, that our old San Diego friend,
Mr.. John Began, has struck it rich.
We congratulate him on his sue
cess and trust that he may find a
veritable bonanza. The Mr.. Gas
sen mentioned was one of the excur-
sion party which passed through
Los Angeles the other day: Messrs.
A.G. Gassen and John Began made
a sale of mining properties in Orc
BlancO district to San Francisco
parties for $3S, 900. The negotia-
tions were made by telegraph. Mr..
Gassen leaves tomorrow for San
Frantisco to pass the title and re-
ceive payment. He will be absent
three weeks. Gro Blanco is fast
coming to the front in showing up
good mineral.
The dry washing machine of
John Waugaman was tested yes
terday evening in the presence Of
many citizens, several OF them old
miners. Judge Peel put certain
quantity of gold dust in 800 pounds
of gravel which was taken from
Fort hill. This gravel was run
through the machine in - min
utes. The heavy sand which was
left in the machine was then
emptied into a pan and washed out
by Dave Waldron, an old 49er. 1t
was too late to weigh the gold
which was saved from the 800
pounds of gravel, but Judge Peel,
after looking at the gold in the pan,
said he believed the machine had
saved nearly all of the gold he had
put in the gravel. The banker will
weigh the amount saved md we
will give the result to morrow.
Between 7 and O'Clock last eve-
ming, while Mr.. Ben Edelman was
In the back part of his store, man
entered and made off with box of
cigars. AS he went out Of the door
Mr.. Edelman saw him and went in
pursuit. When he came up to the
thief the latter threw the cigars
into the gutter and ran, turning
into Commercial street. Ben gave
a whistle which brought officer
Roach who gave chase and he aud
officer Gerkins, who Joined in the
race, came upon the thief lying
under u tree, pretending to be
asleep, in a yard on Alameda
street. On being brought to the
police office he gave the name of
John Smith and was recognized as
the same person who, about six
weeks ago, was arrested for steal
ing a lot of carpet. He was COM
mitted to Jail to await examina-
ton this morning.

Some English engineers have

Africa. The length of the tunnel
would be zine miles and its deepest
point about three quarters of u
mile under the surface of the

Undertook to realize the dream of
an Englisbman who wanted to 90

cts of two tunnels, one under the
