How to select a Husband.

1t has been p~rofoundedly remarked, says
the Baltimore Every Saturday" that the
true way of telling q toad-stool from a
mushroom is to eat it If you die, it was q
toad-stool if you live, it was = mushroom.
A similar method is employed in the Sc
lection Of husbands I; marry him il he
kills you, lie was . bad husband il he
makes you happy, he is a good one. There
is really no other criterion. As DR.. Sam
uel Johnson remarked 1.-The proof of the
pudding is in the eating thereof" Some
young men who seem unexceptionable, in
deed, very desirable when they are single,
are perfectly horrid as soon rs they got
married. All the latent brute there is in
the heart comes out as soon as q sensitive
and delicate being seeks her happiness in
his companionship. The honeymoon lasts
a very short time the receptions and the
round of parties are soon over, and then
the two sit down to make home happy. II
she has married a society man, he will soon
get bored he will yawn and go to sleep on
the sofa then he will take his hat and go
down to the club and see the boys, and,
perhaps, not go home till morning. If she
has married a man Of business, he will
be tagged ont when he comes home. He
may be a sickly man, whom she must
nurse, or a morose mar whom she must
seek to cheer a drunken man, whom she
she must sit up for a violent man, whom
she fears a fool, whom she soon learns to
despise a vulgar man, for whom she must
apologize in short, there are thousands
Of ways of being bad husbands, and very
few ways Of being good ones. And the
worst Of it is, that the poor silly women
are apt to admire in single men the very
traits that make bad husbands, and look
with contempt or ridicule upon those quiet
virtues which make home happy. Men
with very little personal beauty or style
often make the wife happy, and sometimes
quite the reverse. The number of ways OF
being a bad husband is almost as great as
the number Of ways of being ugly. No
one can tell from the demeanor Of a single
man what sort of a husband he will be.
Meantime, she must marry somebody.
Eat it; if you die, it was a sort Of a toad
stool if you live, it was q sort Of mush-
room.

Sand and
From the Detroit Free Press

"Gen'lem, if you see a pusson rushin'
'roun' de world enveloped in a dimund pin
an an ulster, am dat any sign dat he pays
taxes, rents a church pew an brings his
chill'en up in de way dey should go?'
Brother Gardner looked down on the Ga
faces in the orchestra chairs, but not a
voice responded.
"When You see a pusson seated in a blue
cutter, pushin' de lines over a fast hos:
an lookin' outer his left eye as if he had
de bulge on all de co'ner lots in town, am
dat emmy sign dat a single grocer would
trus' him for a box of sa'dines or a peek of
carrots
Then Elder Toots heaved a deep sigh,
and Huckleberry Jones silently scratched
his off leg just below the knee.
"When q man takes up tur seats in the

A Tribute to George Davis.

The Elko independent" in noticing
the death Of George Davis, says: A more
whole-souled, genial gentleman than Uncle
George never tickled the ears Of an admir-
ing audience and from a blooded flyer
to the humblcst household utensil, all
alike in the line Of his profession were
handled in a mastery manner amounting
to real genius. but where poor George
was perfectly Eat home" and where the
talent VI til. man was most palpably APP
parent, was at the first blush OF a mining
excitement, when Spanish pings" mus
tangs, and cayuses were in lively demand.
The appealing eloquence and touching
pathos with which the kindly disposition
and intrinsic merit OF each individual ami
NAL were urged as worthy Of special con-
siderati"n. has seldom been equaled and
never surpassed. The sonorous and con-
fdent tone with which he proclaimed the

Suicide In Eureha.

The suicide Of Anderson, in Eureka, says
tho Battle Mountain Messenger" recent
ly. was one of those events, like the suicide
OF Matt. Furth. in Austin, q short time
since, which startle and shock the country
now and then, and make men pause and
reflect on the causes which produce such
horrid tragedies. We Knew both men well.
They had both been industrious, good citi-
xens, and had acquired property but both
fell victims TO the same destroying angel
drink, and both died by their own hands.
1t il folly to call suicide, under such cir
cumstances, . cowardly act. Anderson's
periodical sprees had rendered him at
times y maniac almost, and it was on one
OF these that he committed the deed.
Clearly, he was not \ responsible being.
But there is a responsibility somewhere,
and when accounts are made up, there will
be some awkward scores to settle.

A correspondent Of the Battle Mountain
Messenger, writing from Paradise, says ::
There is some excitement over rich strikes
just now. About thirty miles from here
a party of prospectors struck a ledge, the
ore on top giving 81, 900. The lucky man
is Sam Morton. The boys took a wagon
load to Winnemucca, which they sold on
good terms.
We have rich strikes every day in this
camp, but lest / might be accused Of exag-
geration, l shall only say that they are
here to show for themselves.
The Big Prize looms up, and just you
make a note Of it, that in the course of
time it will rival any showing in the State.
The Bullion, Monmouth and Bride Of
the Mountain are all shipping ore that will
mill $3.50 to 500.
The ranchers in this valley aressomewhat
shaky over their prospects for next seasons

Alex. Middleton has just assured me
that a piece Of ore from the Bullion has

Says the Virginia Chronicle: Yesterday
afternoon a woman called at one of the
palatial Photographic galleries on G street,
and wanted a picture taken. She had a
small bundle under her arm.
rDo you take ladies in tights? ?" she
asked.
Certainly" was the reply.
She went into the d-rawing-room while
the operator got his instruments ready.
Presently she came out and wanted to
know il he was obliged to be in the same
room when the picture was taken.
'tOf course" said the astonished pho
tographer; chow in thunder can | focus

'Well," she replied, 'if I've got to be

She swept out Of h room and down

gentle undertone as he washed the colo

The shadow Of the mountain falls athwart the
lowly plain,
And the shadow Of the cloud1et hangs above
the mountains head
And the highest hearts and lowest wear the
shadow Of some pain,
And the smile is scarcely fitted ere the an
guished tear is shed.
For no eyes have there been ever without a
