| KISSING. subject of kissing is agitat-
| ing the press of the whole country and one
, can scarcely pick up an exchange without
| reading = column or two about it. 1t is lit
| tie curious to observe that no paper as vet has
had the boldness to tell what it really knows
about the osculative art. So far the plain and
theatrical forms have only been described but
the fancy and special styles have not as yet
been described in print and nobody seems to
want to tackle the subject. Here is thor
oughly untrodden field of literature where a
writer Of either sex might gain fame by tread
ing, yet not one, from Susan B. Anthony
down to Wells Drury has the courage to make
the trip. The fact of the matter is that peo-
pie know more about kissing than any news
paper or book can tell them, and the agitation
upon the subject at present does not hit the
nail on the head at all, but only beats about
the bush in an uncertain, gingerly and COW
ardly way. 1t takes art and brains TO kiss
we'll, and woman to kiss and give satisfac-
ton must have soul in her body and man
a still tongue in his head, for -:5s.r who
boasts of his work is very soon tabooea by the
Indies. The fellow who can wear the most in
nocsnt lsok when interrupted and has quick
ear for footsteps in the hall is the man for
most women. There are plenty of people
who don't know how to kiss at all because
they never have the courage to experiment,
and lack the enterprise to get out of the old |
ruts. The APPEALS devil says if his girl |
hadn't adfferent style for every day in the year

CoMsToCK GAME Cocks. "A new invoice of
game chickens has been received in Virginia
City and the people of the Comstock are so
lost in admiration of the fowls that the Lady
Bryan swindle is no longer thought Of Cock
pits have of late become quite an institution
in Virginia. On several occasions the best
game cocks from San Francisco have been
beaten by the strong gated and long winded
fowls which the sagebrushers delight to back.
Even the heretofore invinclbls birds of Con.
Mooney, who boasts of the finest strains in the
United States, have been compelled TO &C
knowledge the superiority of the Virginia
birds The explanation of this is quite simple.
The cocks of Virginia are kept several months
in the city and become accustomed to the rare
altitude before they fight. The San Fran
cisco birds are brought up from the sea level
the day before and are too short winded to
last Carson, the Capital of the State can
hardly afford to allow the game birds of Vir-
GINA City to maintain their supremacy. There
are some coed game roosters here, and if the
Virginia men will bring their birds to Carson
a main can be arranged. If the Comstock
birds are all that is claimed of them they can
break up the town in twenty-four hours.

Mr.. Gage rushed back for his trusty six

man escaped and went down the street at
lively pace Mr.. Gage followed in his shirt

CARD FROM W. M. DAVENE'
ApvRkyISEM ENT.

EDITOR APPEAL: You will oblige me by con-
tradictiag the notice i'll the Daily Nevada
Tribune Of last evening stating that our troupe
closed it's engagement on Tuesday evening,
which the editor himself knows to be an un-
truth as he came to my apartments himself
to enquire if wanted an announcement put
in his paper last evening. Thinking 1t was
not worth while | declined. He went away
muttering to himself all the way down stairs.
Although could not tell what he was saying
it was easy to understand what he meant
He knows very we'll that we had more than
one programme and that the public were not
disguised as the receipts of the second night
show, and furthermore We were requested to
give a third performance which We did with
great change of programme, and consider 1t
very childish for him to tell such an untruth
about me because l would not give him
chance to earn few dollars.
The receipts of last nights house give quite
a correct estimate of the influence of an anna
tsur newspaper in this Intelligent community.

THE FUNERAL HONORS TO OLE
BULL IN NORWAY.

The Norwegian papers give full ac-
counts ofthe extraordinary funeral honors
paid to the memory of Ole Bull, which
were such as have never before been
shown, except to the remains of royal per-
sonages. On the beautiful Island of
Lysen Isle of Light, about twenty miles
from the city of Bergen, Ole Bull had re-
Gently built large chateau, and to this
island home he was taken, on his return
from America, suffering from a severe
illness, which soon terminated fatally.
As the last hour approached he took
tender leave of those around him, and
while, at his request, his wife was play
ing Mozarts "Requium'' on the large
organ, he passed away peacefully and
without pain. In the magnificent music
hall his body lay in state, surrounded by
trophies of his long life-a gold service
from the Emperor Nicholas of Russia, a
silver music stand from the students of
st. Petersburg crown of diamonds and
pearls from California, orders and decor
ations from all the Kings and Queens of
Europe pictures and treasures of all
kinds. The King sent kilograms of con-
dolence to his family, and the govern
ment ordered large steamer to the island
for the convenience of those who wished
to pay their last tribute of respect to him
whom the whole nation mourned. When
the day for burial came the Government
again sent steamer to bring the remains
to Bergen, and fourteen other steamers,
all draped in mourning with aags at half
mast to escort it. The body was borne
to the boat by the peasants on the estate,
by whom Ole Bull was almost adored,
and the imposing cortege proceeded to
the city. When the landing was reach
ed the remains were transferred to fun
eral car drawn by four splendid horses,
and all the musical societies Joined the
immense procession, which, proceeded by
sixteen young girls clad in mourning,
moved forward to the sound of Chopin's s
Funeral March," the tolling of the bells
and the booming of the minute guns from
the two fortresses that guard the entrance
to the harbor. The cemetery, on the
outskirts of the city, is crossed by two
broad avenues, and the point of intersec-
ton, overhung with trees, around which
seats are placed forming kind of natur-
al pavilion, was designated by the muni-
cipality Of Bergen as the last resting place
of Ole Bull. All business in the city was
suspended, shops, banks and all public
Offices were closed, and all the way from
the landing place to the cemetery dis
tance of three miles, the houses were
draped in mourning and the street was
strewn with flowers and evergreens. In
the heart of Ole Bull Norway always held
the first place, and in the national sorrow
for his death his country shows that his
love was understood and returned.

POPULAR SUPERSTITION.
Hartford Times

A couple of solid citizens-solid in
avoirdupois as well as in their bank ac-
counts--were in a horse-car few days
since, when a man came limping abroad
apparently suffering from Rheumatism.
One of the solid men remarked: I've
never had twinge of rheumatism in my
life," and at the same time he took from
his pants pocket horse-chestnut and
displayed it with an air that seemed to
imply, "this is the little joker that did
the business" But no sooner had solid
citizen No. l displayed his chestnut
charm with a contented air than solid
citizen No. also drew from his panta-
looms pocket horse-chestnut. Said the
first citizen: Give carried that for thir-
ty years. $50 have carried this for
| more. than thirty years, replied the other;
l carry it for gout.'' A passenger who
had been an interested listener to the
foregoing, rather timidly asked one if he
really believed there was any value in
horsechestnut. "No!'' answered the
man. "Then why do you carry the
thing about with your" Because it
don't cost anything, and can do no harm
if it does no good" '1t shows a little
superstition, though" every we'll; I'll
shoulder it. In the meantime I'll keep
on carrying it. Pve carried it thirty
wears and have not been troubled with
rheumatism. And l know of others who
can testify to the same good result. ;"

SECRETARY SCHURZ'S TRIP.
HIS GLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE MA
TIONAL PARK.

HIS GLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE MA
TIONAL PARK.
WASHINGTON, September 21.-Secre-
tary Schurz returns very highly pleased
with his recent trip to the far West. He
remarked to The Graphic correspondent
to-day that the National Park surpassed
anything he had even seen or imagined
in the way of natural scenery. He will
use the $4,000 appropriated by Congress
for it's improvement in the construction
of road and will ask for more means
next session for further improvements.
He will also ask permission of Congress
to lease the privilege to hotel-keepers to
erect houses there for public accommo-
dation. At present the only building on
the ground is log cabin in which the
keepers of the park live. The Secretary
thinks that when the railroad approaches
it and accommodations for travellers are
provided that it will be the most popular
resort for tourists in the world. He pro-
poses to protect in the park all the larger
Western game, such as buffalo, antelope,
elk, deer, etc, where they may be safe from
final extinction.
He says further that he does not think
there is any immediate danger of scare
ity Of public lands, bnt that there exists
such vast quantities that it will take many
years to make much inroad into it by ac-
tual settlers.
He reports that he has 1000 of the late
hostiles who came in at work on the road
and making gardens at Fort Keogh by
way of punishment, and as fast as the
rest come in they will be put to work un-
til they are sufficiently punished, when
they will be scattered about at the differ
ent reservations. He says also that Sit
ting Bull has IA lodges, and is located
on branch of the Milk river, about $50
miles south of the Canada line. His fol-
lowers keep deserting him, and before a
great while only few of the leaders will
be left He will not be allowed to come
in on the same terms as the rest, but what
will be done with him has not yet been
determined. He will wait till he catches
the savage.

HISTORY OF THE FASTEST TROT
TER ON EARTH.

Chicago Letter in Louisville Courier-Journal
Horsemen generally understand how
Maud S. was brought to the surface, but
as thousands are unacquainted with the
general facts, and several minor details
have come to me from an authoritative
source, they are sufficiently interesting
to bear repetition.
In July, 1876, William Bair, Maud's
driver, whose, handling of the animal
cannot but greatly distinguish him,
came from Pennsylvania to Cincinnati
In the fortune of things he came there
without employment, and, which is no
discredit to him, without means. He ap-
piled to Captain Stone as the President
of the Chester Park Association, request
ing that he should assist him to secure of
some member Of the association the hand
ling of his horses over the track. Not
because he had anything for Bair to do,
but more from generous impulse than
otherwise, he gave Bair his Lady Chester
and told him to go ahead and see what
he could do with her. She was not
thought speedy, and had only shown
about 2:50. Bair went to work with her
brought her down to 2:30, and made
several matches with her, which he won.
Captain Stone, Judging that the limit of
her speed had been reached, withdrew
her from the track and placed her in his
private stables. He then told Bair to
look about and get hold of something he
could 60 to work upon again. Bair at
tended the Bugher sale and bought the
2-year-old filly Maud S. which had been
purchased by the elder Bugher of the
Alexanders, of Kentucky, who bred her.
The price paid for her by Captain
Stone was $3.50. She could not be bought
for one thousand times that amout to-
day, and is worth five hundred times
$35O-with ordinary chances as an in
vestment.
She was wintered carefully, was broken
by Bair, and in her year-old form she
next spring showed on the Chester Park
track half mile in lib. The next sea-
son in her 4-year-old form, she was most
thoroughly handled by Bair, and first
astonished the world when she showed a
mile over the Lexington track in 2:17L.
Vanderbilt Immediately purchased her of
| Captain Stone, the purchase price being
$21 900, and straightway great cry went
up regarding ga fool and his money"

WATERFOWL WIS. WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 29. 1880
Maud S., on being shipped to New

etc. Maud S., on being shipped to New
York, was at once turned ever by Mr..
Vanderbilt to Mr. Carl Burr, a handler
of every great reputation, but whatever
the reasons may have been, she did not
do well under his care. Burr had charge
of her one year Mr.. Vanderbilt then
wrote Captain Stone asking him if he
would not again take charge of her and
fully develop her. He had been stung
and hurt by convert charges of smart
dealing with Vanderbilt, and while it was
precisely the opportunity he desired, he
would not accede to the proposition until
he had thoroughly satisfied himself of her
condition. He slipped down to New
York and did this. He at once satisfied
himself that Maud was all right; that
the failure in her development was the
fault OF nobody. She was simply deli
cately sensitive, high strung, was not en-
rapport with her surroundings and driver
and, sentimental as it may seem, needed
sympathetic development" under the
kindliest influences.
He brought her back to Cincinnati to
her old surroundings; Bair went to work
upon HeT aSalIl, anu ner Ola groom, Cne
colored boy Charlie Grant, was her, con-
slant companion. The result is well
known.
She is just years old. She has never
even been crowded. She has never gone
to her stable when she could not have
done another mile faster than the last one
was made, and as easily. The one indi-
vidual who knows her power Gift is with
in human judgment to know it) positive
ly asserts that she has just begun aston
ishing people, and that the possibilities
of 200 time are within her matchless
frame.
