he was 80 anxious to return to his fam
lily, and with scarcely money enough to
pay his passage. The other answered
that s short time before he learned that
his wife was dead, aud that three of his
children were without home. Bill did
not ask another question, but handed
the $500 back to the old msn which he
had won from him, and 5000 besides,
saying as he did so: Here, old man,
take back your money, and here is a
trife besides, which may come handy
when you get home. / don't play to
win money from such as you. Take it,
and never again bet st any game, however
strong the temptation may be; for the
game l play is about as honest as any
other, and the devil couldn't win if he
wasn't cspper.'" The old man took
the money and went away wiser If not
better man.
In the fall OF 1852 Bill returned to the
Atlantic states, taking with him an
immense sum of money, although it is
said he lost $4,000 at "faro" before
leaving the state. The next we heard Of
him was atSt. Joseph, Me-, in the spring
of 1853. He had run through all he
possessed, and was again hiding the
little joker" and winning scores Of
cattle from the emigrants. He crossed
the plains that season and settled in
Carson valley, where he is at present
residing.

Topographic BlundeTs.
Springfield Republican.

Springfield Republican.
A great many columns have been
written concerning topographic errors
and many of the instances sound so witty
OF 80 stupid that it seems as if they must
be rather inventions than actual hsppen
ings. But we never saw one cited so
unluckily that we couldn't remember its
match. Once we wrote that it was like
evoking the shadow of shade" to quote
forgotten writers. The phrase appeared
in print thus: Like cooking tire shadow
of a shall" The printer had, in bur
lesquing the sentiment, actually pre-
served and intensified it in A most
striking image of Enthusiastically. At
another time we had quoted the pro-
verbal opinion of " Rosalind," " Men
have died and worms have eaten them
but not for love-" The printer mey have
been a misogynist at all events be sub
stituted women" for worms" There
are Shakespeare cancellations not much
better than that, perhaps. In one of tie
country weeklies there was recently an
account of the presentation to some one
of a Bible "bdund in guilt" In a
discussion one spoke of " the divine to-
tality of being ;" it was reported as the
sublime brutality of feeling" This
may have been the reporters error; but
not so when a Methodist college presl-
dent spoke of sin as ga dark, guilty,
damning fact" and found it published
as &" dark, quietly dswning fact, " and
describing the death of Jesus as s. viva>
eious." This was in a very religious
paper, and another into sn eloquent
hymn admitted this questionable tenn
perance sentiment, " praise The still"
Sometimes these things are 30 funny that
the writer can't De as 81 gry as be would
like, but still that Virg MA editor must
have been "hopping mad " when his
powerful leader wound up with COur-
age, tillers of the land snd forget, in
the excitement of politics, your pantry
and your misery W He had written
poverty" and misery" And how
must Astronomer Proctor have felt when,
having written of Lines, bands and
strie near the violet end of the speetrs,
he was represented as seeing Links
bonds and stripes for. the violent kind OF
specters" Perhaps as if ne had had a
peep into q spiritual lunatic asylum
which must be necessary enough, ii the
mediums have got the rights of it.

The Feminine Mystery.
Vanity Fair.

vanity FAIR.
The question which we considered last
week, Why Men Marry" is an inter-
esting one; but it must be pronounced
inferier in interest to the question Why
Women Marry" in the degree in which
men are in all respects less interesting
than women. The willingness Of women
to marry is greater and more patent than
that OF men and, we will add, that it is
great deal more wonderful. That
women have, to use q collOs uial phrase,
the worst of it all through lite, we enter
tain no doubt, and that the matrimonial
state, as understood by experience, has,
as a rule, fewer attractions for them than
for men, we also believe to be true.
Yet, while there are many men who,
from choice, abstain from marrying, and
still more who put off marrying till
the last practicable moment, we doubt
if there is any women worth mentioning
who refuse the married state from option
and deliberatiOn, and not many who
postpone marrying till late period of
life from a general repugnance to having
husband. That woman refuse indi-
vidual men, and sometimes go on refus-
ing man after man, is true enough; but
then their objection is to the man and
not to the condition OF lie that man
proposes; or, not unfrequently, their
refusal arises from mere skittishness,
from a feeling they may do better, or
from cheerful conviction that there is
plenty of time to "think about it." As
rule, however, women who have the
chance Of marrying, marry, and they
would marry yet more promptly than
they do were it not that they are fire.
quently held back from taking foolish
step by wise parents or dissuading friends.
How is this apparent paradox to be ex-
planned? There is less to induce womsn
to marry than to induce men; yet men
hesitate to marry and women jump at
marriage. Some will answer that man is
a rational and woman an irrational ami
NAL, but over and above the distinction
being too uneomplimentary to be true,
1. is one Of those plausible explanations
that explain nothing. Again, it is some
tunes affirmed that, in marrying, men
sacrifice liberty, whereas women in mar
rying acquire it. But this is an epigram
easily disposed Of When men sacrifice
what is called their liberty by marrying,
they are already tirsd of their liberty, or
that particular form of it which bachelor
hood enjoys, ard were the point
thoroughly examined, we suspect it
would be found that they abandon a
form of liberty OF which they are weary
tor another form they have not yet
possessed

Ice in Silver Mines.
New York Herald Nevada Letter

New York Herald Nevada Letter.
By most people it has been thought
that the actual depth of mine had
everything to do with its temperature,
but experience here and elsewhere has
destroyed that notion. The deep mines
are generally warm, but in the same
district a mine now and again is found
where heavy clothing is necessary TO the
visitor going underground, and also in
the warm mines the temperature Of up
per levels has been found higher than in
other levels some hundreds of feet lower.
No less than ten thousand tons of ice are
annually consumed in the lower levels.
Blocks of ice are placed along the drifts,
and everywhere near the men are large
casks illed with ice for their use. Not
withstanding all the appliances brought
to their aid, there are places were work
must be done, in order to "open up"
the mine, where the miners are able to
work but TWO or three minutes at time
The miners so engaged work not MT re
thsn three or four hours a day. One
halt are cooling off, while the other
half are at work. This respite is called
"a pass" and the time allowed for each
"psss is regulated by the miners them
selves, according to the degree Of the

A Curious Will.

A will, revealing among other things
glimpses of love story, has gone to pro-
bate in Erie county, New York. 1t con-
sists simply of a letter from the dead
man to his brother. He had sweet
heart named "Susey," but Susey used
to be seen now and then with another
fellow, whom the jealous man described as
that Gslent." IF / find Susey with
that Gslent of hers" he writes, 81 swear
by the Halter that shall hang me, she
shall never enjoy him" The letter pro-
ceeds with: "GiYe my love to Lidey
W" who was neither his sister nor
his cousin, but apparently another
sweetheart, for he adds, carelessly and
all the rest" But Susey" was best
loved, for he concludes with saying:
"May the Lord bless you all, and par
don the deeds / have in contemplation"

An ANGELS BIRTHDAY.

Though born TO your heavenly BIRTH

Asthese fair earthly roses twins;
Their love may be perfect, pure ard complete
But never more tender than Kline.
Are YOU GLAD in their glsdRess, my dArlins3
Do you laugh in your innocent g3ee3
Or are you sad in the brightness Of heaven,
In thinking Of home and Of me
In the night when long for your prsseroe,
And water my pi ssv with tears,
When pray for the touch OF your fingers,
To comfort my sorrow and fears;
% light is the veil that's between Us,
The mother and child are 50 near;
The breath Of my soul is suspended
For your accents so tender and Gear,
Oh, my glorihed darling, NEST precious
OF all the sweet gifts that ere mise,
have lent you, not lost you, ny darling
Only lent to the love that's divine.
There are moments 50 sweet and SO solemn,
That my soul SUsts its prison Of pain,
And scars to the realm Of the spilit,
And meets my own angel again.
Then calm from that sanity communion
l defy every Toe Of the world;
can Seorn every breath Of contumely,
Every shaft by its ignorance hurl'd.
No black robes Of darkness and mourning
Should be worn for spirit like thee
Only solemn thanksgiving and blessings,
That you from earth's sorrow are free.

The Effect of GaSliSht Upon La
dies Costumes.
New YORK Herald.

! All ladies' know that color presents q
d. ferent tint in the daytime to that
shown in artificial light. The color of
the texture gains or looses by the latter
according to the amount of yellow con-
tanned in it. Violet, which is compile
mentary color to yellow, is decOmpOsed
in gaslight; the blue disappears and it
becomes red. Blue, if pure, thus borders
on green; if dark, it appears harsh and
black, and if pale, loses color and be-
comes gray. Turquoise silk, which by
sunlight is beautiful, loses its brillisncy
and appears faded. In ascending the
scale of colors yellow greens are among
the prettiest for evening wear. Thus.
applegreen is net far from emerald, and
emerald, without changing in tint, gains
in brilliancy and richness. Amber al
ready beautiful, acquires,richness straw
color slightly reddens in the folds; per-
haps more charming than maize, for,
without losing its pecu lar quail ties, 1t
gains an undesirable warmth of tint.
The same effect is produced in red shsces,
for the yellow glare of evening lights,
which are SO fatal to blue, augments
their splendor. Ruby is heightened in
its beauty, particularly in plush mater
ials, orange red brightens and pure or
ange takes a fame color. Black and
white do not escape the action OF arti-
fetal light. Those beautiful blacks, 80
well named after the ravens wing be-
come dull and heavy by not retaining
the blue shade which gives them lie
and depth. White, on he contrary, I'M.
proves at night, and if faded revives.
| For this reason actresses often ask for
white that has lost its color, believing
that the foot-lights will restore its lost
brilliancy. This white is called blanc
I de-lumiere. A ilor which retains its
charm is silver grsy--always pleasing
and distingue. 1t even gains slightly
rose color hue but should the gray con-
tain a suspicion of blue, like pearl gray,
the blue tint is lost and the distinctive
characteristic of pearl gray disappears
