THAOKERAY AND B0sT0I
SOCIETY. m

When Thackeray went to Boston to
deliver his lectures lle had made an
agreement with q friend, a Bostonisn
whom he met in Germany, to go mad
hear Theodore Parker, but was ~
vised by his newer acquaintasees
there not to do 60, ss II would MT he
thought the proper thing, and might
possibly hurt his lectures.
It wasi in the winter, and one Sunday
morning (there had been q rain aud
the streets were glazed with ice)
Thackeray started with two friends,
u gentleman and his daughter, t.
church, they to 70 to Music Hall aad
he to St PaufA Il was uncomfosta-
ble travelling, and Of u very different
sort to which the great man was
accustomed, but he made his way BY
taking the gentleman's arm and plac-
ing his other hand on the lady's
shonkler. @
When Tie entrance to Music Hall
was reached, his friends were about
bidding him good morning, hut look
ing about him he said: "Well, If 90
on sllall certainly fall and break my
neck. 20 | must 60 in with you" 1t
happened to be Pmker's sermon on
Amos Lawrence. Thackeray was
immensely pleased, fascinated.
The same evening a company wys
assembled at the house of y dhting-
uished literary gentleman Of Boston.
Thackersy was Of the number, and
could talk Of pothing but Theodore
Parker; he was all aglow with
enthusiasm and admiration for him.
Presently the host remarking the
blank cWrutenance Of his guests,
slowly said: "We-don't meet Mr..
Parker. He moves in another circle" :"
There was . pause, and the great

For the Capitolian:
THE ATER4GE MIN.


There's so much of seeming, SO little real,
In the average man We meet,
That We sometimes fear the average man
Is nothing at all but a cheat.
The average man, whileseeming friend,
In his heart friend is not;
While fondly with tongue he's oiling you uo'er'
Against you he's deep in plot.
He presses You close to his beating heart
And swears he will never betray-
Yet, when you have need fora friend thatsfrue
You find that he has sllmken away.
A blessing indeed It's to fad Just one
Real, genuine man amongst NEIL
A man whose true heart IL worn OIL his sleeve,
Who is honest with tongue and pen,
Give me the man who is just what he seems,
Who will neither fiatter ROT ie:-
If foe, he fights in an ope,s field;
If friend, for friends hewill die.
can lash myself to man like that,
For his words with his hesrt agree;
He means what he says and that he will DO,
Ho is Just what he seems t. be. >.

GOOD STORY.

One of the speakers at the Reform
Club meeting told good story Of a
Baltimore shoemaker to show what
a fool whisky makes Of a man. The
shoemaker went home tight or loose,
just as you please, and asked his wife
if there was anything in the house
to eat, and was informed that there
was not. But not satisfied, he went
to look for himself, und in short
while returned, charging his wife with
falsehood, stating that he had found
a bowl of cabbage, and while it was
rather tough, he had eaten about
half of it. "Well John," said the
wife, I" it you haven't gone and eaten
my night cap, that had washed,
intending to hang it out tomorrow
to dry" This is rather hard on
Baltimore whisky.

GRAIN AND ORE.
From the Carson Appeal.

lfNolh Il Oah5oh APPSnAJ
There is 10 reason why mining should
not be reduced to the same basis as agri-
culture. Under the present system Of
mining in Nevada the man who owns a
ledge cannot make its available
unless he has sufficient money to erect a
mill adjacent to his property. Now, sup
pose that every farmer who had ten acres
Of wheat had to erect a $40, 900 -four mill
to grind his grain. Only the capitalists
could raise wheat at a profit. The man
with 10, 900 acres and q -four mill would
prosper, and the poor farmer would go to
the wall. This Is the reason why to-day
the small miners Of Nevada are eaten up
by the big ones. There is but one practi-
cal solution Of this problem, the erection
Of reduction works in this State, where a
man with rock can exchange his rock for
cash, just the same as the farmer can ex-
change his grain for coin, without being
obliged to make it into -four at his w
expense. The plan now under considera-
ton in this city would lift mining in Ne
vada out Of the slough Of speculation and
give every man with a pick and shovel and
good muscle a chance to wrest a compe-
tency from every hill that rises in this
State. No n will dispute the proposition
that ten per cent. Of the money swept away
from the pockets Of the citizens Of Carson
by stock speculations would erect reduc-
ton works capable of giving direct I'm
ployment to 500 men. We need no longer
be robbed by thieving brokers and manip-
u~lators, with their pools and their points
and their preposterous interest. Let every
man join in this project and help get the
plan into such shape that the people can
invest understandingly. There is ne time
to lose, and both Virginia City and Reno
are studying the same proposition.

DUBLIN, December 13.-The express
train on Saturday struck a carriage full Of
young persons while crossing the track
near Elmwood station. Miss Hunsbro
was killed instantly. Charles fuller was
badly injured, and Miss Annie Arts had
her collar bone broken. The party were
singing, and failed to hear the train.
The agitation Of the land question,
meanwhile. is extending to England. At
a meeting Of the Farmers Alliance, last
week, q Sussex farmer demanded for the
members of his class the right to acquire
the land they hold after o certain period
of tenancy. The English landlords are at
last beginning to take the alarm at the
number and activity Of the organizations
being formed among the small farmers and
agricultural laborers for carrying out what
is popularity called the " Free land policy"
and are quite likely to see an agitation in
England which will recall the famous Re
form and Corn law movement.
Public feeling in England is becoming
more aroused by the continual outrages in
Ireland. and the practical overthrow of all
law in the country. The tenants have, for
the present at least, confscated the pro-
perty Of their landlords. A branch Of the
Land League o holds its own courts in
various parts of the island, assuming to
administer justice. This, of course,
amounts to the establishment of Lynch

THE PRESIDENTS PITCHER.

A number of the admirers of Presi-
dent Hayes have presented to that gen.
tleman an ice water pitcher of quarter
barrel capacity. The temperance people
will rejoice to learn of this rather tardy
though graceful recognition Of the total
abstinence principles that have prevailed
at the White House during the last four
years, although if they were invited to
assist in "wetting" the present, it is
likely that most Of them would send re-
grets. As the size of the pitcher ia
somewhat in excess Of the demands of
the private family table to which Mr..
Hayes will soon retire, we would suggest
that the present be left at the White
House for the new President, who will
have frequent need of a great deal Of
cold water during his term of office. He
will have to throw a great deal upon of.
fce-seekers and volunteer advisers, and
unless the new Congress behaves better
than its predecessor has done, frequent
applications Of cold water will be neces.
sary to keep it in healthy working order.

THE COMING SENATOR.

That James G. Fair will be the choice
of the majority of the incoming Legisla-
tors is a settled fact, says the Carson
Times. While Mr.. Fair will not prove a
giant in debate, and will probably not at
once leap to the leadership of the United
States Senate, he will at least prove wise
in caucus and carry with him great in
fuence, owing to his prominence as a
mining man. capitalist and member of
one of the few firms Of immense wealth
who help to sway the business interests
of the country. From a purely Republi-
can standpoint the election of a Demo-
cratic Senator from Nevada is to be re-
GREETED.
Reasoning from a hard pan basis OF
common sense, the election of Mr.. Fair
means that the duties of the exalted and
responsible position of Senator OF the
United States Senate will in his case re-
ceiye the same careful and conscientious
attention which his private interests.
and those of the corporations he has
served, have had in the past. Better a
reliable Democrat than a Republican
Senator whose only claim to notice has
been his conspicuous neglect of the du-
ties for which he has received pay. The
guarded a~llusion is directed toward one
Sharon.
As a matter of courtesy and good
taste the Times would suggest that the
Senate join with the Assembly and pay
Mr.. Fair the high compliment OF an
unanimous vote in his favor for United
States Senator. The day has passed for
political or personal attacks on that gen.
t~len,an. The time for Republicans to
have worked against him was during the
campaign. Useless now to raise a hue
and cry OF corruption. 1t is scarcely
consistent for the pot to call the kettle
black, and in view of the past history OF
politics in Nevada, the least said on that
point the better it will be for future Re-
publican success. The Democratic He
cate has voiced the prophecy to the
Thane of the Comstock Millionaire
thou art and Senator thou shalt be :"
Let Fair then be returned without futile
discussion aud newspaper attacks which
can have no possible effect on the in
evitable result.
MI. Fair can, if treated with the cour-
tesy and dignity which the high position
which he is to assume justly entities him,
be of immense service to our State,
county and town interests. We urge
the Ormsby county delegation, at least,
to join in no scattering opposition to the
will of the legislative majority, simply,
if for no other reason, as an act of JUS
tice to the interests of their personal
friends and constituents.
