swered. An encouraging answer will stimulate
thought and investigation; and 40 uusympia

and so begin to form the bias OF lts LIE. True
Christian tenderness aud self denial oanDot be
batter exercised oftcu than 10 trying to under
stand the mental difficulties of children who are
not naturally quick of apprehension. 1t IS 10
the very early years Of life, generally, that the
habit is formed of loving to think, or OF dlsIik'
Ing to think; and no doubt the scale has often
turned in favor Of disiiking, on account OF some
difficulty which the child might have been
helped to master by sympalh'zlng parent, but
failing in its efforts, it becomes discouraged,
grows tired of repeated eDdeavors without the
pleasure of success, takes up the depressing DO
lief that it cannot think anything out, and goes
on through life under this disability; and thus

What truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives up grandeur OF
mountains, glens and oceans. and thous-
ands of means for enjoyment. We can
desire no better when in perfect health;
but how often do the majority OF people
feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged aud worried out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof that Green's August
Flower will make them as free from
disease as when born. Dyspepsia and
liver complaint is the direct cause OF
seventy-fve per cent of such maladies
as biliousness, Indigestion, sick head
ache. costiveness, nervous prostration,
dizziness of the head, palpitation Of the
heart. and other distressing symptoms.
Three doses of August Flower VIII
prove it's wonderful effect. Sample
bottles. 10 cents. Try it.

Leading members of the Piute tribe
have issued an order for a big fandango

Couriers have been sent to Wadsworth,
Reno, Carson and Virginia City in Wes-

and to McDermit and other points in
Northern Nevada. The Shoshones have
been invited to meet with the Piutes

Austin. The fandango and council will
be held on the Humboldt bottom, below

Harry Livingstone, brakeman on
the Truckee division of the Central Pa
cific Railroad, while coupling ears on
train No. ) in the Wadsworth yard
yesterday morning, had his right hand
caught in the draw heads and so serious
" injured that the probabilities are he
will loose his entire hand. Livingstone
had attempted to make the coupling
and failed on account of one car having
the Miller draw-head and the other hav-
ing the common one used upon all freight
ears, the Miller draw-head being too
high did not admit the coupling link
when the two cars came together.
The second attempt being made he lifted
one draw head and the two cars came
together with such force as TO cause the
draw heads to slip over each other and
catch his hand and hold him in a criti-
cal position between the platforms OF
the two cars.

His Theories or the Presence OF
Precious Metals i'm Veins.

Professor Stewart lectured in Nir-
ginia Saturday night to fine audience,
and for more than an hour and half
held the close attention of his listeners.
The Enterprise says: ''He showed the
exact condition of the assures of Neva-
da, particularly the Comstock. He be-
lieves the presence of precious metals
in assures is due to chemical solution,
that the treasure comes originally from
boiling seas and not from below. he
aroues that the heat of the Comstock
is due to INSTRUCTED conduction for
great length-perhaps hundreds OF
miles-along the vein, and holds that
the presence of the heat is sure indi-
cation of the permanency of the VEN.
He treats the water in the Comstock as
a local matter, and believes that II 1T
was connected with surrounding water
channels the water would con-
tain the same chemical properties
that those surrounding waters do.
which it does not His diagrams, be-
sides making clear electrical and other
far.off scientific phenomena, also por-
trayed various mines of the State !;
showed their conditions in different for
nations why some were permanent
and Others dangerous to invest IN.
This is but rough sketch, gathered
from memory. If the lecture had any
fault. it was want of close connection
on the speakers part. This is explained,
when it is stated that out of the mate
rial for dozen lectures only one was
delivered"

[Gleanings from Saturdays Reporter.l
The Paradise Company are increasing
the working force in their mine, which
is encouraging to a great many.
The Big Prize has shut down for a
few days, on. account Of the absence OF
Mr. f. p. Torrey, who has gone to
Virginia City.
The Bullion is working about the
same number of men, though we hear
the force is to be increased shortly.
There is some talk OF opening the
Silver Wedge mine, with Joseph Pirgue
as Superintendent. Should such prove
to be fact, we think the Silver Wedge
will prove to be as good mine as
any in the district. 1t has been lying
idle for some time, for want of capital
to work it.
All in all, Spring City is livelier at
present than it has been for some time
past, ard the people are in good spirits
in anticipation Of good times in the
near future.
Farmers are very busy harvesting.
In nearly every instance crops are turn
ing out better than was anticipated.
At the Downing ranch, short dis
lance north of Paradise City, Mrs.
Downing was thrown down by.a pet
calf and seriously injured.
There is more sickness in the valley
at present than has been known for
several years, and DIR. Powell is kept
riding most of the time. No fatal or
very serious cases have been reported,
however.
Cap. Wright, who has been looking
| up stock on the Owyhee, near Three
Forks, says he discovered several rich
| and well defined lodges in that country,
but as he was looking for stock, and
not for mines, he spent no time IN pros
pecting and made no locations.
I A contract has been let to sink an in
cline shaft 100 feet on the ledge of the
| Mammoth mine in Mount Rose District,
for SIS per foot, the company furnish
ing the use of tools anil blacksmith
shop. Work has been suspended on
this mine for some time, but we under
stand that it is now the intention Of the
company to go ahead and develop the
the claim without further delay.

Stealing Quartz.

The Avalanche says three or four
men went to the quartz house of the
Owyhee mine at Silver City, one night
recently, and stole therefrom a dozen
sacks of rich ore, worth about $500
each They were pursued and escaped
with one sack, having left the others in
different places along their route. The
owners of the owyhee mine offer $500
reward for information that will lead to
the detection of the robbers.

Quite number of ladies and gentle
men visited the Golconda Hot Springs
yesterday. The springs are getting TO
be place of general resort for health
seekers, and. as the fare for the round
trip on Sundays is less than the regular
rate one way ON other days, many per-
sons go to the springs and battle in the
healing waters on that day.
