AN foHr's ride by moonlight brings us

This place is kept by Ed. Taylor. whe.

The BOYS are boisterous. unruly. and sadly
in need OF parental discipline. Thc.sing,,-
lar name Which has been given to this
creek is because of the fact that many
years ago war..party of Crows. who in
an afl'ray with the Sioux had lost their
blankets, were here oyertaken by furious
storm. Having no means of starting a
fire. most of them perishetl.
This bottom is about six miles long and
from one to two miles wide. The grass is
simply magnificent and would feed An
immense number OF cattle. Again we

We finally descended safely into Po,rupine
Bottom. which is like It's neighbor, only
being few miles longer. Near the river
bank we found Mr. Allen. who has made

Oh, George !
From the Bedford Breeze.

From the Bedford Breeze.
They were on the ice yesterday-he in
the glory of his new-found love, and she
with bran new pair of skates on her
pretty feet. They were hand-n-hand-
now forward, now backward, gliding
smoothly and gracefully, totally uncon-
scious of the smiles of the spectators and
the chatting OF the small boys. H. was
skating backward, and had hold of her
hand-a strong hold, with just the least
more pressure than would have been de-
sirable under other circumstances. He
was pulling her along and talking the
meanwhile:
''Darling Celeste, shall we always glide
together through life as smoothly as We
do now?'
''Oh, George, dear, 1 hope so"' smil-
ingly.
''And shall we ever be to each other as
dear as we now are?'
''Oh, George, alwaysu'
''And, Celeste, shall our clasp of the
nOw?"
''Oh, George, it will - lovingly.
s'Dear Celeste, you are SO kind to keep
me first in your afiec-"
''Oh, George!"
There was a crash before that last excla-
nation. George was skating backward
and they were looking into each others
eyes. His skate caught in crack in the
ice, and there was f,ll-Celeste on top.
A series Of mild shrieks. vision OF dimi-
ty, and then two skaters lett tire ice.
George has lump on the back of his
head, and Celeste's nose looks like a ripe
fig and all skewed around like a mules
jaw. Oh, George!

Better Tsaxla Gold.


Better than grandeur, better than gold.
Than rank and titles a ihousant;-iold
IL a healthy body sDd nind al ease,
And simple pleasures that always please;
A heart ihat can feel for another's woe,
And share it joy with genial glow,
With sympathies large enough to enfoid
All men as brothers, is better than gold
Better than gold is a conscience clear,
Though telling for bread in humble sphere
Douhly best with content and health,
Cntrisd by the lust or cares of wealth;
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and ennOble Il poor mans cot,
For mind and morals, in natures plan,
Are the genuine tests Of a gentleman.
Better than gold is the sweet repose
OF the sOns of toll when their labors close;
Better than gold is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that droops on his sumber deep
Bring sleepy draughts to the downy bed,
Where luxury pillows its aching head,
But he his simple opiate deems
A shorter route to the land of dreams,
Better than gold Is thinking mind,
That in tho realm Of books can find
A treasure SURPRISING Australian ore,
And life with the great and good of yore;
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The giories Of empire fade away;
The worlds great dream will thus unfold
And yield u pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold is peaceful home,
When all the freside characters come,
The shrine of love, the heaven of life,
HallOwed by mother, or sister, or wife;
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow by heaven IS decree,
The blsssi rs that never were bought nor sold
And center l'lers, are better than gold.

4 letter was received frem Professor
Looniis, some days since, by Col. D. &.
Forney of the Sunday Chronicle, III which
he said that recently he had met with the

lately he had done all lis talking to lis as

He added that he had been in correspon-
dence with Edison for long time, and
that he had received many valuable hints
from him. and that Edison had been fully
convinced for long time that aerial tele-
graphy was practicable and had so express
ed himself frequently. Edison also thinks
that his aerophone can be worked by the
same means. 1t will readily be seen that if
telegraphing can be carried on without

Having gained admission, he opensd the

from his easy-thair, ''is that the way you

ter manners. Sit down in my chair; We
will change places. and will teach you
how to behave in the future"
The boy sat down, and the dean going

'.Sir, master presents his kind compli-

your acceptance of q small present."

A COMPLICATED CAsE.-A very lively case
was tried in Justice Carys court yesterday.
Emma Hall was tried a charge of petty
larceny, preferred against her by Carrie Stein.
1t appeared in the trial that Miss Stein was
the proprietress of bagnlo on Third street,
in which the defendant was an inmate. One
night Miss Hall left the scenes of gllded
inlquity and took with her portion of the
wardrobe belonging to Miss Stein. She re-
paired to Virginia City next day and was sub
seouently overhauled by an officer a charge
of petty larceny.
A CURIOUS DnYREsR.
Miss Hall admitted leaving the house, and
in her hurry she 20: some of the complaining
witnesses clothes mixed up with hers Her
accelerated departure due solely to the fact
that she had been subjected to certain indig
mites from the hands of frequenters of the
house to which even woman of the town
could not be expected to submit She ex
planned the nature of the outrage to the court,
but the details are of character not accessl-
bic to the public through the medium Of a
family newspaper. The parties whom she
accused of assisting in the indignity are young
men well known in the city. The jury stood
ten to one for conviction, and the case will be
retired to-day.
A FULL HOUSE ASSURED.
Justice Cary, finding that his court room is
inadequate to accommodate the crowd which
will be present at the trial to-day, has deter
mined to move into the District Courtroom
and begin the case at 10 O'Clock this morning.
The three young men against whom the wo-
man makes such serious charges have been
and will be put OH the stand to-day.
One of them left the city day before yester-
day, anticipating service from the Constable.
