STRIKES.

Strikes arc quite proper, only strike right:
Strike to some purpose, but not for fight
Strike for your manhood, for honor and fame:
strike right and left, till you win good name;
Strike for your freedom, from all that is vile
Strike of companions who often beguIle
Strike with the hammer, the slcdgc and the axe;
Strike off bad habits with burdensome tax;
Strike out unaded, depend on no other;
Strike without gloves and your foolshness
smother;
Strike off the fetters of fashion and pride;
Strike where 'tis best, but let wisdom decide :;
Strike good blow while the iron is hot:
Strike, keep striking, till you hit the right spot

BUsmRoD CARPENTER HEIRS WAN
rED.-An inquiry comes to us from San
Francisco, Cal, for the children of man
named Bushr ID Carpenter, who are sup
posed to be living in North Carolina.-
Bushrod Carpenter was the son of Dr. Ma.
thaniel Carpenter, who died at King and
Queen county in the State of Virginia, in
1778. Bushrod ha1 three brothers, named
Nathaniel, Corydon and William Fauntlc
roy, all of whom are believed to have died
without issue. BY deaths in the family, a
large property, valued at not less than nine
hundred thousani dollars, has fallen to the
children of these four brothers, and as the
three others died without issue, the whole
amount will go to the children Of Bushrod
Carpenter. He was brought into North
Carolina when quite young by his mother,
the widow Of DR.. Carpenter, and she is be-
licvcd to have married again here. The
matter seems worth inquiring into, and if
any Of the descendants of Bushrod Carpcn-
ter or any person able to give information
concerning them, will apply at the Office of
this paper, they can learn the name Of the
gentleman inquiring for them.-Ralciyh

A MODEL ARKANSAS MINIsTER.-The

from the wall close to his head.
II think, parson, that it refers to some
one else," replied the deacon.
The minister raised tumbler of water
and was in the act of applying his lips, when
the glass fell, shattered by a shot.
"This is an inuendo no longer" said the
minister, wiping the water from his vest
"This is what term an unmistakable thrust.
The congregation will please sing while l

another preacher ip the house? 2"
YES" said man, throwing down stick
which he had been whiting, arising and
pulling at the waist of his pants like man
who had just Strengthened up after setting
out row of tobacco across broad field:
"Gct on an extra I"
"Yes"
"Unlimber."
The whiting preacher handed over a
large Remington pistol, which the insulted
preacher took, and drawing one from his
belt started out. After going out there

proceeded without interruption.
How TO BE MIsERABLE.-Sit by the

recently built, and paid for, and fitted out,

Think everybody means to cheat you
Closely examine every bill you take, and
doubt its being genuine until you have put
the owner to a great deal of trouble. Put
confidence in nobody, and believe every one

Never accommodate if you can possibly

and never give farthing to assist the poor.

Squire Curtis. The horse started SiIas
fell backward out Of the wagon the Squire
stood like a man of marble and away went
the wagon, with Cohen's legs dangling care
lessly over the end Of the trunk.
Whose is that 2 said the Squire, when
bis voice came to him.
'Mr.r-Brch's, chartered poor old
Silas.
That's lie,' said tho Squire. "He is
not dead, know. What have you been
doing?
Silas then explained that he knew moth
ing, but that the trunk was to 20 to Mr..
Birch's; and who the corps was, bless his
soul and body, he knew nothing about it,
but it might go to-any place, for all he
would touch it; and upon this he was for
cutting across the fields to his home. But
the Squire seized him, and forced him to
hurry on after the horse and wagon. They
come up with it just as it reached Mr. Birch 5
gate; and as Silas would not 60 near the
wagon, the Squire had to seize the horses
head and turned him into the yard
1t is useless to endeavor to describe the
sceno which took place in the happy family
on tho portico, upon tho advent of Mr.
Cohen. Shrieks, fainting fits, shouts to
take it away, and general scene of horror
and confusion which had never been known
in that part of the country, was succeeded
by the exodus, on foot, or in some ones
arms, OF all the women, and council of
the men. Silas told his story, not emitting
in his fright his sin of curiosity. Mr.. Birch,
who went up stairs to question Fanny, only
discovered that she knew nothing, and that
it must have got changed on the cars and
'Oh! please Eever mention it again! Oh,
dear Oh, dear =
1t was finally concluded to put the re.
mains of the murdered man in the stable
for the night; and the squire, who was
the coroner for the county, declared his
intention of summoning jury in the morn
ing. That night, however, Mr.. Birch, who
thought that Mr.. Durham might be able to
explain this (though how he knew not),
sent the telegram.
When Cyrus appeard before the jury,
told the history of the skeleton, showed how
all its joints and separate and individual
bones were neatly joined and articulatcd
by means of wires, and pulled from his
pocket tie bill and receipt of the skillful
arti6cer who had prepared the specimen,
the jury found a verdict Died of some cause
unknown
Cyrus then repacked MIR. Cohen, and
sent him by one of Mr. Birchs men to the
station to await orders; taking care this
time to lock the trunk.
MIR. Durham did not 60 over to his faith
ers house right away, but stayed to supper.
Fanny was still very nervous, and he walked
out into the garden with her to explain it
all fully; and he explained it to such an
extent that she agreed, before the conversa-
tion closed, that when she travelled in the
future, it should be with him, and they both
should have the same trunks.-Hurpcr's
Magazine.

SWALLOWING GARDEN.-An acre of
government land costs S1.25. a corner
grocery hangcrou will easily consume five
ten cent drinks or ten fvc-ccnt drinks per
day. In two and onc-half days he has
swallowed an acre of as fine land as lays
out of doors If he averages two days and
half of loafing per week, he consumes a
fair sized farm every year. If his tobacco
and cigars average triflc over half as much,
he has sIuandcrcd a quarter section. And
these are the men who in cities can find
nothing 70 do, are continually complaining
of hard times desert their families when
the wife cannot earn enough to keep them
in lager or refuses to give them more, and
Overrun the country as tramps. 1t is these
men who are fostering communists, and
fastcn themselves upon every honest move

wages Who can have any great amount

OLD MAIDS.-A sensible writer expires.
scs his opinion of old maids in the following
manner II am inclined to think that
many Of the satirical aspcrscns cast upon
old maids tell more to their credit than is
generally imagined. Is young woman
remarkably neat in the person, she will Ger.
tainy be an old maid. Is she perfectly
reserved toward the other sex, she has all
the squcamishncss Of an old maid. Is she
frugal in her expenses and exact in her do
nestle concerns, she is cut out for an old
maid. If she is kindly humane to the ami.
mails about her, nothing can save her from
the appcllaton Of an old maid. In short,
| have always found that mcatncss, modcsty
economy and humanity, are the never
failing characteristics Of that terrible crca.

WHAT DAGGETT Is DOING.
lSilxer Stste.l

lSilver State
Representative aggett of this State, Is
preparing bills which he proposes to in
troduce, TO carry out the ideas of the late
Legislature Of Nevada. One OF the bills
provides for the REIMBURSEMENT by the
State to the Government of all unsold
sixteenth and thirty-sixth sections of
land heretofore granted to Nevada for
school purposes, and q grant IN h.u
thereof from the Government to the
State of two million acres OF non miner
al.bearing lands, to be selected by the
State, in tracts of any size, from unoe-
cupied United States lands within the
borders OF Nevada. The lands hereto
fore donated by the Government to the
State aggregate over three and hsli
millions of acres, but owing to their
character, not more than one hundred
thousand acres have yet bsen sold, con-
sequently the School Fund has derived
very little benefit from the grant. The
Commissioner of the General Land o.
fice is said to be in favor Of the exchange
and will recommend the passage OF the
bill. 1,3s asa
Mr.. Daggstt also intends to introduce
bill for the encouragement OF artesiAn
we'll boring provisions of which
have not yet been made public.
This effort on the part of our Repre-
sentative to procure lands in exchange
Ter the worthless sixteenth and thirty
sixth sections, which may be sold IN
large lots for the benefit Of the School
Fund and to procure aid from the Cen
eral Government to bore artesian wells,
which may result in making the rich
valley lands of the State, now worthless
in consequence of the scarcity of water,
valuable is very commendable. and en-
titles him to considerable credit, as it is
rarely that representatives from this
State remember that there is such a place
as Nevada after they arrive in Washing
ton. Mr.. Kendall, while Congressman
from this State. endeavored to secure the
passage OF bill to encourage the boring
of artssian wells in this State; but the
proposition was ridiculed by the Com
stock press and the campaign speakers
who opposed Kendalls reelection, and
the, bill was pigeon holed BY the COM
! ruittee to which it was referred In Con.
| Rress and never afterwards saw daylight
Let us hope that Mr.. Daggett's effort
will he more successful, and that the
Government will aid in making an sx'
pertinent. which, if successful. will bs
| of incaloulable benefit to Nevada.
