Tho Ruby Hill school.

Some Of the scholars Of the Ruby Hill
school complain that they have nc way Of
amusing themselves. save by playing mar
bles, and want the Trustees to put up a
swing, and some apparatus by which they
can develop their muscular powers. II Is
an excellent suggestion, and one that the
should readily adopt. Quite o

Our Bullion Yield.
Speaking Of the bullion yield OF Nevada,

for the current year, the AIta says.
The State produced $50. 600 900 in 1878. and
will probably not reach s22 10000 in 1879, The
great bonanza in the Con. Virginia and Caiifor-
MIA is nearly exhausted. Those two mines
turned out 81 500 900 a month for a long time,
and now not one-tenth so much. The Eureka
Consolidated has Of late been the leading mine
of the slope, yielding nearly $3.50 600 monthly.
and more than q million have flowed from the
furnaces Of the Eureka Con. In q single month;
30 we shall hardly be surprised n. when the
accounts of the year are closed up. the district
should be ahead OF the Comstock in the treas
ure yield. White Pine and Phoebe are still
very much depressed. Bodie continues TO hold
q high place in public esteem. and high hopes
are entertained u the District. but
its mines are not opened sufficiently to produce
much.

hIOCk sPECULATORs.
From the New York Indicator.
Dealers in stocks and bonds are called 'spec-
~ulators, " by some persons as a reproacb. Are
not ell dealers in any kind of property specu-
lators Does not the man who buys one hun
dred bales of cotton to-day, with the hope of
selling ii to better advantage next week or next
month, speculate? Why should the man who
purchases goods on credit, KNOWING that he
cannot pay for them unless he sells them at an
advance within a specified time, be placed upon
a higher plane, morally, than the man who
buys stocks, or, in other words, pays money on
account of his contract with the understand
ing that he will forfeit his deposits if he
breaks his contractY Evidently the latter
transaction is the more moral of the two.
DEACON PARKINsoN's SUIT.

ance Of law, which does not equally apply to
places where liquors arc sold.
Section 5 authorizes the commissioners OF
the District to revoke and withdraw licences
from all persons who keep disorderly houses
or show themselves unfit persons to continue
the sale Of Intoxicating drinks. 1t may be
said that this Is too large q grant Of power
to be intrusted to the judgment Of the COM
missioners. But II their Judgments ade-
quate to the responsibility Of granting licen-
ses, why should it not be equal to the work
of Withdrawing them? The latter seems to
me much the less difficult and delicate task
of the two.
To section 6, no objection can be urged.
Every one must approve Of giving the COM
missioners power to close all places, from
end to end of the District, where intoxicat-
ing drinks are sold, whenever, as in cases of
riot or other like circumstances, the public
peace and safety may demand 1t.
Such are the provisions of this bill. II
contains no extreme measures, but is wholly
moderate and conservative in character. Ny
objection to the bill is that it does not deal
thoroughly enough with an evil which is SO
injurious and burdensome to this city and To
the country. But il 1t should become q
law, 1t would do great good SO far as 1t goes,
and 1t has the indispensable advantage that
1t would be sustained by the public sentiment
Of this District, and hence could be executed.
In visit which / paid to the committeeman
of the Committee for the District OF Colum-
bia, was glad to find that most of the pro-
visions Of this bill are likely IA be reported
to the House, either in the code which has
been prepared for the District or in some
other measure. In spite, therefore, of the
shortness Of the session and Of the pressure
of appropriation bills, I am not without
hope that at least q portion of these provis-
ions against the evils Of intemperance may
PASS this House before the final adjournment.
To this end ask the candid consideration of
members Of this body for bill which, in the
language of the major Of police, is an effort
to diminish crime and aid the cause of good
order.'" ...
