PLAIN TALK To YOUNG MEN,
Remember young friend, that the world
is older than you are by several years
that for thousands of years it has been
full of smarter young men than yourself;
that when they died the globe went whirl-
ing on, and that not one man in hum
dred millions went to the funeral or even
heard of the death. Be as smart as you
can of course. Know as much as you
can; shed the light of your wisdom
abroad, but don'ttry to dazzle or astonish
anybody with it. And don't imagine a
thing simple because you think it is.
Don't be too sorry for your father because
he knows so much less than you do.
He used to think he was as much
smarter than his farther as you think
you are smarter than yours. The world
has great need of young men, but no great
er need than young men have of the world.
Your clothes tit better than your fathers
fit him; they cost more money; they are
more stylish. He used to be as straight
and nimble as you are. He, too, per-
haps, thought his father old-fashioned
Your moustache is neater, the cut of hair
is better, and you are prettier, oh, far
prettier than "pa." But, young man,
that old gentleman gets the biggest sala-
ry, and his homely, scrambling sigma.
ture on business end of check will drain
more money out of a bank in five
minutes than you could get out with
a ream of paper and copper plate
signature in six months. Young men
are useful, and they are ornamental, and
we all love them, and we could not en-
gineer a picnic successfully without
them.
But they are no novelty; they have
been here before. Every generation
has had a full supply Of them, and
will have to end of time, and each
crop will think themselves quite ahead
of the last, and will live to be called
old fogies oy their sons. Go head.
Have your day. Your sons will, by
and by, pity you for your odd ways.
Don't be afraid your merit will not be
discovered. People all over the world
are hunting for you, and if you are
worth finding, they will find you. a
diamond is not 30 easily found as a
quartz pebble, but people search for it
all the more intently.

= The Eugene City (Oregonl Guard
says among the many probable candi-
dates for the Presidency named by the
Democrats We find that of Hon. Stephen
]. Field. Should it be the will of the
convention to give us this sterling State
rights Democrat as our standard bearer,
we can assure Democrats of the East
that no one is so certain to carry this
coast as he is. Out here we are not only
true to the faith of the "fathers," but we
would roll up such najorities for "our
own" as would astonish the natives.--
Give us Field, aud we assure you we
will give you this entire coast. No other
man can certainly get these electoral
votes.

"A New Hampshire woman has q
husband who is addicted to joining
secret societies. One of her e1asperated
outbursts is thus reported by the Man
chester Mirror "Jine! He'd jine any
thing. There can't nothing come along
that's dark and SLY and hidden but he'll
jine it. If anybody should get up a
society to burn his house down he'd jine
it just as soon as he could get in, and
if he had to pay to git in he'd 90 all
the suddener."

The Snow BREAKER.-The loose snow
drifts deeply between Truckee and Sierra
vile. The mail is carried tri-weekly, and
the road has to be travelled one way each
day. During the heavy winter weather
the sleigh which carries the mail is drawn
by three horses driven tandem. BY this
means a single broad path is beaten in
the middle of the road. When the storms
are raging it is necessary to carry the
mail on horse back. It's average weight
is from one hundred to one hundred and
fifty pounds each trip. The mail bags
are strapped on two horses, which are
led by the driver, Sol. Rosseau, who rides
third horse. A fourth horse with only
halter on is turned loose to break the
road. This horse is kept for this sole
purpose, and is called the 'snow breaker"
For six winters this animal has travelled
the Sierra Valley road. Turned loose at
either Truckee or Sierraville, he will at
once set upon bis dreary journey. The
winds obliterate all traces of the path, but
with marvellous instinct the horse follows
its every turn ard winding. Sometimes the
huge drifts bewilder him for a moment,
and missing the hard, beaten path he sinks
out of sight in the loose snow. Out of
sight is used quite literally, for it fire.
quently occurs that his body is complete
" covered, and his head alone is above
the surface.
If he knows on which side the trail lies,
he will plunge and struggle to regain his
foothold. If, as sometimes occurs, he is
confused as to the proper direction, he
possesses the wonderful instinct ofkeeping
perfectly quiet until the driver dismounts
from his horse and comes forward to point
out the road. BY means Of along stick
the driver finds the trail, and beating a
path for few feet in front of the discom'
fted snow breaker speaks an encourag-
ing word to the poor animal. Every
nerve and muscle are Immediately strain
ed to regain the lost path, and the horse
again resumes his task as guide. This
snow breaker seems to possess almost hui
man intelligence. Neither darkness nor
storms ever daunt him or cause him to
be misled more than a few feet. When
in doubt he will take short steps scarcely
six inches in length, and each foot feels
for the hard beaten ledge which forms
the path. .-Iruckee Republican.

The FUTURE OF SMoK1Na.-I shall
not live to see it, but fifty years will not
elapse before smoking is permitted every
where. Smoking carriages will be no
more needed on railroads than reading
carriages. A person, whether in church,
or in law court, or in drawing.room,
will no more ask permission to smoke
than to breathe. No one accustomed to
the smell Of tobacco objects to it, for it
becomes imperceptible. Every one, con-
sequently, should bring up their children
in an atmosphere of tobacco smoke, so
as to accustom them to it from their ear
liest childhood. If l were blessed with
daughters 1 should seek out an Irish
nurse for them and insist upon her smok-
ing every day in the nursery a certain
amount of the strongest tobacco from a
short clay pipe. In after years my
daughters would not render themselves
Objectionable to the male sex in general,
aud their father in particular, by declar-
ing that they could not endure the odor
of cigar or cigarette Truth.

kOSsuth,s History.


The historical work which the eminent Hun
garian patriot, M. KosSuth, is about to publish,
Will consist of correspondence that will throw
much light upon the connection OF Napoleon I'LL,
Prince Napoleon, Count Cavour Prince Couza
Prince Napoleon Ricasoli, and other European
statesmen with the Hungarian movement In
1859 and 1866. Many moves on the EuroDean
chess-board which are as yet secret will BE-
made public. In 1859 there was a specific
treaty drawn between Kossuth, Napoleon Ill
and Cavour, by which 1t was agreed that In Ger
tam eVentualitfeS the corps ii diHlse OF Prince
Napoleon that entered Tuscany should cross
Ghe Adrtatlc, and march on Hungary, while in
dependence was to be proclaimed. In 1866 there
were negotiations between Kossuth and RIGA
soil for the same object. The work will be pub
l1shed In successive volumes, and the first will
appear IN about two months 1t will be In Hun

ranged, and no doubt both French aud English
translations will follow. NJ KoSsuth resides at

Value Of Hat and Coat checks.

or late, says the Alta California, various
societies giving public balls have adopted the
practice OF posting notices near the hat 10 om
dlsclaiming any responsibility for the loss OF
goods deposited there. A case was recently
brought by F. W. Clough against W. II. Bod
fish ct al, committee, TO recover $50 and costs,
for the loss OF an overcoat at the knights OF
Pythias ball, in the Pavilion, and judg mant
was given 1or the plaintiff for SIS. similar
suit Is now pending before Justice OF the Peace
Connolly. At the Caledonian ball, at Union
Hall, on the 10th of January, Mr.. Sam Sample
hired the privilege OF the bar, hat, and cloak
rooms. William c. Lee deposited his overcoat
In the cloak room, paying twenty-five cents,
and receiving check. Upon the termination
Of the ball, the crowd broke into the room,
overpowered the attendants, and helped them
selves promiscuously to hats and overcoats
Lee presented his check, but his overcoat was
not to be found, and he has brought suit for
the sum OF $25 and costs. Itwould be well to
have the question settled as TO whether these
Ball Committees can sub-let the hat room, and
hire irresponsible persons to take care of them.
and simply by posting notice disburden
themselves OF any responsibility when the
goods OF their patrons are lost or stolen.
