absurd photographs.

The Paris windows are now fall Of
the most absurd little photographs OF
scenes and incidents relating to the death
OF the Prince Imperial. Evidently
taken from badly executed drawings,
they are mostly more laughable tnau
touching. In one of them the Prince,
standing on one leg in the attitude of a
ballet dancer, is IN the act OF bc,towing
a parting embrace upon his mother In
another he is shown rs being up il the
clouds in very correct evening costume,
dress coat. white tie, and all, while
below the Empress sits weeping over his
portrait. As he was killed in full

worth while to prohibit the caricatuyc

The Absent.

The absent are always wrong" says
the proverb, since they cannot prove
themselves in the right; and yet absencs,
ike distance, lends pleasant enchant-
ment to everything and everybody. Ali
the imperfections and peculiarities that
offend us when the person is present be
come yelled and indistinct, while the
good qualities are magnihed; our ideal
is undisturbed by the aggressive intru-
sion Of real personality on y resembling
it in outline. 1t is & sorry fact in the
history Of poor human nature that we
do not always follow the procept Of An
toninus: ''When thou wishest to delight
thvself think Of the virtues of those who
live with thee Their virtues do not
delight US so much, perhaps, as their
faults disquiet us; but when absence in
torvenes, it is their eXcelences that we
miss. that start into prominence, and are
gloritied in the minds eye; while being
10 longer annoyed by their errors, We
fail to associate them with the individual
in question. 1t is both easier and more
natural to be fair to the mind and charac
ter Of the absent than it is to give their
due to those whom We encounter daily
and hourly; Ike some fac structure seen
at a certain distance, We can better judge
Of the proportions, and perceive beauties
which q nearer point Of view might CON
ceal from Us. 4 counter provorb COM
mands US 10 something ungenerous i'll
making accusations when the accused
can offer no defense. To speak i'll OF the
absent is to take I'M advantage Of him
which he is not in position to resent
it is to stab in the darl, and 40 just
mind delights in getting the advantage
Of q fellow creature. While Lucasta's
jealousy no longer adlicts US, we caa
afford to let it pass without comment;
while her parsimony no longer pinches
us, we do rot feel the same spur to enter
compliant.
Some mind, are so constituted that
the escape from the daily friction Of
differing tastes and tempers seems
to act as charm against the de
cay Of an affection which uninter-
ruptcd proximity might have de-
stroved To he sure, it is poor kind Of
love that requires this protective meas
ure, bat kind that circulates pretty
freely among US, 10 doubt. Lovers and
poets have had much to say in praise Of
absence, as if they would fain cheat it Of
its sting.

Napoleon.

Napoleon was very fond of walking
the streets of Paris incognito, III search
of adventures. On these occasions he
generally wore round hat and long,
Blue, great coat, in which his appear

In consequence Of this he was occasion

ference, to which, in propria persona, he
was unaccustomed.
One morning shortly before Christ
mas he rose as early as seven, and ac-
companied by Duroc, grand marshal of
the palace. who wore the same sort of
disguise as Napoleon, left the Tuillieries

April II. 1879.


Nearly all old residents of this county
remember Frank Almon, who astonished
the good people of Golconda one Fourth
of-July by reading, as the production of
his own brain, one of e. ID. Bakers
finest orations. He afterwards figured
i'll politics in this county, and went to
White Pine at the time of the excite
ment at that place, where, the Eureka
Sentinel says, he and r. d. Ferguson
organized Dolly Warden party When
the returns were counted, the candi-
dates ON the Dolly Warden ticket were
found to have but one vote each, and
Ferguson swears to this day, that it
was Frank who could not control his
own vote. Finding that his ability was
not appreciated by the White Piners,
Frank went to California, and is now
stumping Mono county in favor Of the
new Constitution. Il is not stated how
long Frank has been resident of
Mono, or how many speeches he pro-
poses to deliver before the election; but
it is safe to say that if he is well known
in that part of the country, or if his en-
gagements will permit him to address
the citizens in every camp, that the ma
jority against the new Constitution in
Mono will be greater in proportion to
the number of votes polled, than in any
other county in California. He is one
of those men whose advocacy of any
proposition that is submitted to the peo-
pie with whom heis acquainted, is sure
to defeat it.

A DEsPOTIC COURT,

X. Z. Parkinson, editor of the Ne
vada Tribune, offended some office
holders and office-seekers at the last
State election, He was arrested on the
charge of not being citizen of the
United States, and admitted to bail.
His case was set for trial in the United
States District Court last Tuesday, and
not being able, in consequence of sick
ness, to appear personally, his bail was
declared forfeited and bench warrant
issued for his arrest Thirty minutes
later, the affidavit of San Francisco
physician, under whose treatment
Parkinson has been for some time, was
telegraphed to Carson, stating that the
patient was physically unable to under
take, the journey from San Francisco
to Carson. If this is the fact, and the
Tribune vouches for itscorrectness, it is
nothing less than despotisnb on the part
OF the officers of the Court.

THE TERRITORIAL BEBT..

The Carson Appeal announces the
wiping out of the Territorial indebted
r,ess. This was accomplished by Gov
ernor Kinkead and State Treasurer
Crockett, during their recent visit to
San Francisco, by making arrangements
for the redemption of 1920, 900 of Ter
ritorial bonds. The money to redeem
those bonds has been in the Treasury
for some time past, but the bond hold
crs refused to surrender them except
at premium The terms upon which
they are to be surrendered in exchange
for coin are not stated, but undoubtedly
the State had to buy them at more
than their face value, as they were
drawing high rate of interest.

Astonishing success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boschee's German Syrnp to
Let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing consumption,
severe coughs, Group, asthma, pneumo-
mia, and in fact all throat and lung dis-
eases. No person can use 1t without
immediate relief. Three doses will re-
lieve any case. and we consider it the
duty of all druggists to recommend 1t
to the poor dying consumptive, at least
TO try one bottle, as 10000 dozen bot
ties were sold last year, and no one
c..se where it failed was reported. Such
a medicine as the German Syrup cannot
be too widely known. Ask your drug
gist about 1t. Sample bottles to try
sold at 10 cents. Regular size 10 cents.
