A Grand Event.

The Permanent Exhibition company,
at Philadelphia, proposes having
grand celebration in the exhibition
building on the 5th of July next. The
programme will comprise four parts-a
military display, Grafton and grand car
nival, the great feature of the occasion,
and a minuet, by the Philadelphia as
sembly. The day will be ushered in
with a trumpet salute from the four
towers. For the carnival, houses are to
be erected, some being already under
way, making the main aisle like a street.
The balconies are to be occupied by the
ladies. Children, harlequins and don
keys are spoken of as the main features
of the demonstration in this artificial
street. The minuet is to come off at 8
o'clock in the light of brilliant illu-
mination. A fancy ball without masks
will close the evening.

Bloody Duel in Lower California.
San Diego (Cal.) Union.

+ DR.. Lozano, of the Mexican army,
and surgeon-in-chief for the federal
force in the peninsula, who has been in
San Diego for few days, yesterday
afternoon received by courier from San
Rafael an urgent call to proceed with
out delay to that point, where Colonel
RanjePs troops are stationed. Two cap
tains of the line, between whom there
has been ill-feeling for some time, yes
terday morning at an early hour en-
gagged in q duel with swords, and both
are so badly wounded that the result is
In doubt. The combat was continued
with desperate determination for more
than half an hour, and only ended
when both men fell exhausted from loss
of blood. Each officer has terrible cuts
about the head and thrusts in the chest
and limbs. 1t is stated that the duel
was conducted strictly in accordance
with the laws of the code, several off,
GERS, friends Of the respective parties,
being present, besides the seconds.
The courier did not state the names
OF the parties to the duel to any one but
Dr. Lozano, who did not wish to COM
municate them.

Aye, saved! and this time for life.
My trusty dog had found the ranch,

moment OF need. I was saved, and

President Hayes on Gen. Meade.

President Hayes spoke these few Wig
orous words at the Meade memorial
meeting at the Academy of Music, in
Philadelphia, lately:
IL thank the commander of the post
and the committee of invitations for
the opportunity they have given me to
enjoy and take part in this programme,
which has for its object the raising of
funds for q monument to Gen. Meade.
The other great commanders who have
passed away have been remembered,
and you will see their monuments in
the beautiful parks of the nations capt.
tai. You will see there monument to
that hero of three wars, Gen. Winfield
Scott [applause[; you will see there a
monument to that hero Of Chicamauga,
Gen. Thomas [applause]; you will see
there monument to that noble soldier
and native of my own county in Ohio,
Gen. Mcpherson. Applause. But
you do not see monume ent to Gen.
Meade, and this meeting here, in Phila-
delphia, I understand, is for that pur-
pose. Meade commanded at the criti-
cal period of the war, at the very crisis
and at the time when Gen. Grant and
his army were at Vlcksburg, but had
not got in. He commanded at that Pc
riod when those who belonged to it and
those who did not belong to it loved to
hear it spoken of as the grand old army
of the Potomac. Always equal to the
highest place he ever held, always ade-
quate to his duties, always faithful, al
ways conscientious, and at all times one
of the most fortunate of men. It some
times happens to the best of men,
through no fault of their own, they fail
and pass into obscurity: But Gen.
Meade was always fortunate in his COM
mand of that grand old army. Ap-
plause. Had he not turned the scale
in that decisive battle at Gettysburg,
the Englishman's footsteps would have
been heard on the debris of a fallen re-
public. But now, Meade's memory,
without a monument, is forever safe.
[Applause.] Meade and Gettysburg
are linked together in adamant that
will never crumble. [Applause.l Then
when we build our m onument to Meade
it needs no extended inscription. We
will simply write there, George Meade,
who commanded the forces at Gettys-
burg" Great applause.

A Wonderful Little Craft.

A Bombay correspondent gives the
following history of little steam vessel
which, after a half century's vicissi-
tudes, is being broken up. Built in
1920, Or thereabouts, and christened the
Snake, she WAS the first steam vessel on
the Indus, or, in fact, on any river in
India. Returning to Bombay, she
towing boats and barges) carried out
the wholeof the embarkation of troops,
stores, ETC., sent from there during the
first Burmese war, and the expedition to
the Persian gulf from 1923 to 1926. Her
services were again similarly utilized
in the China war of 1811-12, Burmese
war of 1852, Persian war of 1856, mu-
tiny Of 1857, China expedition of 1859,
and she also assisted in the Abyssinian
and Malta expeditions. Her engines
were designed and built by Parsee,
and were the first ever manufactured in
India. How we'll they were construct
ed is evidenced by their lasting powers.
She was twice wrecked; once in the
hurri cane Of 1887, and again in the cy-
clone of 1854. when the gunner, who
was in charge, ran, her ashore as close
as he could, opened the cocks in the
bottom of the vessel, and escaped up
the funnel, where he sat till rescued.
She has carried in her day the most of
the notabilities that have arrived in
India via Bombay. She was woder-
ful little craft, and has done right good
service during an eventful and check
cred career.

The Nevada Mines.
Los Angles (Col.) Correspondence of the Phila-
delphia Bulletin.

delphia Bulletin.
Some of the mines at Virginia CITY,
New, have attained a depth of nearly
5000 feet. There are doubtless mines
in California from which within 800 feet
of the surface more Of the precious
metals could be extracted than from
several of those deep mines on the Com
stock lode which might be named, and
upon which thousands of dollars are
still being expended monthly in the
hope of finding another "bonanza."
Mining affairs just at present are under
a cloud so far as stock speculations in
San Francisco are concerned. The
Comstock, especially, have deprecated
wonderfully in respect to their fictitious
value within the past two years. There
Is Union consolidated, for instance.
which eighteen months ago was selling
at $500 per share, and to-day brings
only $50. The fall in Sierra Nevada has
been ever greater; for months it was
quoted side by side with Union, only
few dollars difference in the price; it
touched $40 the other day!
NO one cause has done so much to
lmpoverish the people of California
and bring about a prostration of all
legitimate enterprises as this specula-
ton in mining stocks; it has been a
consuming fever, which is just begin
mng now to die out for lack of some
thing to feed upon; baneful seductive,
fascinating siren, who preyed upon rich
and poor alike, the prolific source of
embezzlements, forgeries, thefts and
suicides without number, a systematic
means Of robbery by. which m,a,ey were
made poor that }ew might become
rich! kearneyism and the Chinese are
blessings compared with this speculative
universal pecuniary interest which the
people here have taken in corporations
which have been, and continue to be,
controlled or the benefit of the Gin
siders." There is the Ophir mine
whose record may be taken as an aver
age one on the Comstock list. It has
produced over $11, 100000, has levied
twenty-four assessments, amounting to
$2,689, 200, and has disbursed in divi-
dends 81 ,594, 400. These figures are very
suggestive; they explain the modus
operandi by which millionaires are
created upon the Pacific coast, and
when one asserts that these princely
fortunes were not amassed by honorable
means, he does not necessarily prove
himself a Communist or a Kearneyite.
The amount collected in assessments
represents the contributions made by
the stockholders, who are composed of
people in all classes of society, from the
washerwoman. the chambermaid, the
newsboy and the bootblack, with their
savings invested in a five or ten share
certificate, up to the ''lecherous bond
holder" who is the possesor of a hun
'dred shares or more. The dividends
are the pitiable allowances of encouar-
agement dealt out by the manipulators
OH the inside, while the deficit between
the amount collected in assessments
plus the yield of bullion, and the sum
paid out in dividends, amounts to a
trif1le of $12,WO,OO0 or so, which shows
what it costs to bore a hole in the
mountain and make a millionaire or
two.

GRADUATING DRESSES.
The Pretty Combination Of White
MuslinB to be Worn at Commence

The Pretty Combination OF White
Muslfns to be Worn at Commence
From Harper's Bazaar.
White dresses are in demand for the
" fair girl who graduates at this season,
and are made either of India muslin,
Surah, or else nainsook or Swiss mus
lin. The Surahs are newest, and are SO
soft and clinging that they do not make
too snowy dresses for such occasions.
They have basques, with shirred point
ed frots, like the coat-tail basque illus
trated in the present number, and the
neck is finished with Breton or Langue-
doc lace. The skirt is either round or
demi-trained, with alternate puffs and
pleatings nearly covering the front and
sides, but not so deep in the back. A
bove these is scarf-like apron, with soft
long pointed drapery behind. Such
dresses are also made for the hops, at
the summer resorts. For muslin dress
es there is Il fancy for round, belted
waists, that are gathered on the shoul-
dcrs in front and made surplice, either
meeting on the bust or else tapping
across at the belt. White satin ribbon
is used for the belt, and some ends are
left hanging in front and behind alike.
Many frills of embroidered muslin form
a pyramid across the front of Swiss
muslin dresses, while the same design
is made of pleated Languedoc lace for
the softer India muslin. Sometim mes
the only drapery is on the sides, curv-
ing down from the belt to the foot,
while the back is straight, flowing
breadths, shirred at the top, and trim
med across the bottom with a mere
border of frills. On other dresses there
is q regular overskirt drapery in the
back. Large rosettes Of white satin
ribon, with swinging loops joining one
rosette to another, are set on the back
of white satin belts to form sash drape-
ry. Embroidery is preferred to lace for
trimming muslin dresses for young la
dies, especially graduating dresses. For
very stout girls pleated muslin skirts are
used, with short basque and very
slight dradery at the back The front
of the skirt is laid in box pleats from
the belt to the foot, and a row of en-
broidered insertion is put down between
each pleat. AT the foot edging is sewed
to the pleats, and rests on q knife pleat-
ing Of the muslin.

L NEVER LOVED TILL NOW.

1 have been taught that I should love Z
My father and my friends
And all the tiny stars above,
The tree that DER us bonds;
Each creature that around doth move,
The flowers, the grass, the dew,
love them all; but if that's love
Why, then, I don't love you.
My fathers voice to me is dear,
But does not thrill me thro;
My uncle brings no luttering here
Whatever he my do;
Round aunty's neck my arms steal, -
While she will sit and hem, -
If this is love for you feel
Why, then, don't love them.
I long to look into your eyes,
Then fain must turn away
'Tis not so when con the skies .
Or watch the leaflets play.
do not trelnble at flower,
But kiss it on the bough;
If what feel is loves sweet power ;.
I never loved till now

More Sunshine.

The world wants more sunshine in it's
disposition, in its business, in it's char
tiles, in its theology. For ten thousand
of the aches and pains, and irritations of
men and men we recommend sunshine.
It soothes better than morphine. 1t
stimulates better than champagne. It
is the best plaster for wound. The
good Samaritan poured out into the
fallen travellers cash more of this than
of oil. Florence Nightingale used it on
the Crimean battle fields. Take it into
all the alleys, on board all the ships, by
the sick beds. Not a phial full, not a
cup full, but soul full. 1t is good for
spleen, for liver complaint, for neural
gia, for rheumatism, for failing fortunes,
or melancholy.

Light in the Home.

The eminent English writer, DR..
Richardson, has written an article call
ed "Health at Home" which is replete
with wisdom. A most important point
and one on which he dwells is the fact
that so many people are afraid of the
light. ''In a dark and gloomy house
you can never see the dirt that polutes
it. Dirt accumulates on dirt, and the

mind soon learns to apologize for this
condition because the gloom conceals it.
Accordingly, when house is dark and
dlngy, the air becomes impure, not only
on account of the absence of light, but
from the impurities which are accumu-
lated: Now as DIR. Richardson cleverly
puts it, we place flowers in our window
that they may have the light. If this
be the case, why should we deprive our
selves of the sunshine and expect to
gain health and vigor? Light and plenty
of It, is not only a purifier of things in
animate, but it absolutely stimulates
our brains. 1t is in regard to sick rooms
that this excellent authority is particular
ly impressive. It used to be the habit
OF physicians in old times to sedulously
darken the rooms, and this practice
continues to some extent even today.
In certain very acute cases of nervous
diseases, where light, the least ray of it,
disturbs in over-exciting the visual or
gans, this darkening of the room NAV
be permitted, but ordinarily to keep the
light out of the room is to deprive the
patient of one of the vital forces. Chill
dren of old people condemned to live in
darkness are pale and wan, exactly like
those plants which deprived Of light
grow white. Darkness in the daytime
undoubtedly makes the blood flow less
strongly and checks the beating of the
heart, and these conditions are precisely
such as bring constitutional suffering
and disease. The suppression of the
light of day actually increa.,es those
contagious nlaladies which feed on un-
cleaness. DR.. Richardson states: II
once found by experience that certain
organic poisons, analagousto the poisons
which propagate these diseases, are rem
dered innocuous by exposure to light"

A Sectarian Distillery.


About 500 years ago an ecclesiastic
named Bruno, who filled the post of
Canon of Rheims, suffered so much
from the persecution of his archbishop
that he determined to leave the religious
world and retire into solitude. He
found lonely mountain near Grenoble,
and here he built an oratory with seven
cells, and being joined by some men
like minded, devoted himself to the
cultivation of silence and agriculture.
The brotherhood throve; pious persons
were liberal with their charity, and the
culture of the neighboring woods yield
ed an extraordinary and famous pro-
duct. Bruno became the founder of
the Carthusians-an order who have
left their mark in almost every country.
as our own Charter-house Ia corruption
of Chartreux) and the frequent certosas
IN Italy amply testify. Indeed, before
his death he had founded similar
monastery in Cabria, though the insti-
tuition then took, and has always since
retained, the title of the Grande Char
treuse. In our own time it is known as
one of the few hostelries still extant
where the visitor need not pay for bed
or board, and also for the famous liquor
sold all over the world and manufac-
tured solely by these silent monks. The
receipt is concealed under the altar of
the chapel, and each successive prior
solen1nly admitted to the sacred secret.
It is said that the institution, which has
lasted since the Norman conquest of
England, is at last about to be broken
up and that the brotherhood have
threatened to remove their monastry
and their manufactory to this country.
France is, of course, anxious to be rid
of the various fraternities, ''but the
"Fabrique Of the Grand Chartreuse'
has peculiar commercial attractions
which the government is now seeking
to retain. The country cannot afford to
lose successful sectarian distillery.

KNIGHT TEMPLARs.


A Lively Scene at the winnemucca
Depot.
/. A special train Of eleven cars, nine o.
them sleepers, bearing the delegates from
the several Communicates Of Knights Tenn
plars on the Pacific Coast, on their way to
Chicago, arrived here yesterday afternoon,
says the Silver State. Conductor ]. G..
Williams, Of the express train, had charge
Of the train, and james Wright, who took
the Jared & Palmer fast train over the
Central Pacific some four years ago, with
his engine, the 149, had charge OF the loco
motive. Mr.. Wright is a Knight Templar
himself, and in fact is a 32-degree Mason,
and his engine was decorated with the stars
and stripes and appropriate emblems of
the Order. As q token of respect to him,
the brass band of the Second Regiment OF
the California National Guard played a
tune on the platform, and the Knights
gave him three cheers. There were 1856
Sir Knights on the train from eighteen
Communicates in California, Oregon.
British Columbia n Nevada, many of
whom were accompanied by their wives,
making the total number on the train
1853, including the members Of the band.
Conductor Williams, who has taken nearly
all the excursion trains that ever passed
East or West, over the Truckee Division Of
the railroad, said q more gentlemanly and
better conducted lot OF passengers he never
saw in all his experience on railroads. They
wore uniform caps and pantaloors while
travelling. and drill regularly in = car at
tached to the train for that purpose. Three
cheers were given for them by the crowd
which assembled at the depot, as the train
was leaving. to which they responded by
waving the Bear flag Of California. and Civ
ing three cheers for Winnemucca.
