THE STATE FAIR.

Carson, the Capital If the State. is the
proper place for hoIdng the State Fair, and
with little enterprise and the right people
moving the matter there is no reason why
Carson should not in fu'ure have the annual
fair under its immediate patronage. The man
agement of the fairs of Nevada for severai
years past has not been of nature to inspire
confidence. Some If the managers have tried
hard to do the right thing by every body ana
others have simply used h, insti tuition for
selfish purposes The money has not been
judiciously expended and many people have
declined to have anything to do with the as
seciation because some of the men connected
with it were not looked npon with favor No
man should ever be allowed to connect him
self with State Fair who is not considered
the managers have pursued a particularly
short sighted policy. Carson has been one of
the best patrons Of the fair, and yet its local
military company was led to believe that they
would be allowed to drill for prize until oay
before yesterday, when it was ascertained that
the managers had decided to withdraw it. In
consequence the Carson people have concluded
to resent the slight by remaining away from
Reno during the fair. The Virginia military
companies have also concluded that they will
have nothing to do with it and there will be
no creedmore shooting this year. The leading
horsemen of the State have also been sighted
and Determinations were made in favor of
California hsrses, which caused several Of the
best horses in Nevada to be withdrawn. The
money taken in by the management for years
past appears seldom to have been sufficient
for the running expenses. Horse jockeys and
stable men seemed to be able to get paid long
before newspapers could collect dollar for a
legitimate advertisement. This year there
was scarcely any advertising done at all. A
State fair is something of which State Should
well feel proud. Nevada is not proud of the
Reno Mining, Mechanical and Agricultural
Society and few people would regret to see it
pass out of existence.

near Jerusalem, and said to be the work of
ST. Peter, has been submitted to committee
sent out by the Bible Society of London and

still however, our first choice.

time when every available man, black
and white, was needed at the front"
Gen. Lee Endorsed it on the 9th, and
it was returned to Adjutant Newman
too late to be made o.anyiservice. On the
I'd of April, week later, the Adjutant
was captured at Fort Gregg. near
Petersburg, having this document and
other important official papers in his
possession. Of the 265 gallant Con-
federates who manned that ill-starred
fort ON the morning of that day but
thirty-four survivors came out Of the
bloody contest for its defense.
Major Newman says he saved his
official papers by hiding them in the
lining of his'hat, where they safely lay
hid from detection during his three
months captivity on Johnsons Island,
in Lake Erie. to which point the pris-
oners were taken. This document was
drawn up very soon after the Confede-
rate Congress had passed an act auth
orizing the utilizing of negroes for
military purposes" Step by step it
passed from the regiment to General
Lee, at each step promptly receiving
the endorsement of the brigade. divi-
sion or corps commander. General
Lee, however, not only "commends
the spirit displayed by the regiment"
in setting the ball in motion, but sug-
gests, officially, how the colored troops
should be organized and assigned to
duty. Gen. @. M. Wilcox and Gen.
Harry Heth had approved the docu-
ment before Gen. Lees Endorsement
was made, yet, report says, there would
have been scarcely any opposition from
any source to the plan proposed by
their great and honored chieftain.
Other regiments beside this one fav-
ored the utilizing of negroes for mill
tary purposes, but to Adjutant New
man and the Forty-ninth Georgia regi-
ment was due the credit of promptly
putting into operation the action of the
Confed crate Congress on this subject,
although too late to reach a final con-
summation before the surrender, which
occurred within fortnight after the
document was approved by Gen. Lee.

SWISS GUIDEs.-A genuine Swiss
guide must be born to his calling. He
is a guide from his earliest youth, and
can scarcely recount the number of
times he has been on many of the most
dangerous peaks. His home is perhaps
a lonely village, where the snow may
fall in midsummer, and where poverty
stood godfather by his cradle. During
the warmer season his playground was
the little spot of turf that surrounded
his native cabin, and in the forest be-
hind 1t there were continual dangers
threatening his boy life-the wild rush
of the mountain torrent, or the sudden
fall Of rocks or earth threatening to
crush or overwhelm him. But it is war
and net peace that makes heroes, and
SO all these dangers Of his youth in
sensibly reared him to be genuine
son Of the Alps, and shaped his strength
for the dangers to be encountered
among them. His brother, perhaps,
may have been more successful, for it
is the ambition of the poor Swiss family
to have one member that may have
lived awhile in some neighboring town
and learned the secret OF the confec-
toners art, for the Swiss arc skillful in
the preparation of sweets and pastry,
and can make a delicate cup of coffee
or chocolate. But the mountain boy
never tastes these delicacies; but grows
strong among the peaks. nourished
only by the coarest fare His ambition
is to go wherever the channels can make
its way, and in SO doing he forms a su-
preme contempt for the greatest dan
gers. Among the precipices he knows
no such ideas as steep or rugged or
inaccessible. He is accustomed to the
grandeur and majesty OF the Alpine
world, at which we gaze with awe and
terror, so that where others tremble
with fear he is perfectly at home.

Educating Young Horses.

Rev. w. H. H. Murray, gives, in the
Golden Rule, the following directions
for educating, or as it used to be called,
breaking in" young horses:
If you have colt to teach, and have
the habit of speaking sharply and loud
ly correct yourself of it at once. Colts are
timid. high-spirited things, if they are
worth anything; and he who manages
them should be of quiet habits, and
have a low, pleasant-toned voice. The
trainer that yells, stands in the same
category rs the driver in the public
race who screams and whoops like a
Comanche Indian when coming down
the home stretch the one should be
banished from the track, and the other
turned out of the gentleman's stables.
Our method of educating colt to the
harness and wagon is to educate him
singly, by himself; and this education
should begin very early. When the
colt is twelve or fourteen months old
begin to put the harness on him. In few
weeks he is accustomed to it and ready
for the shafts. But in doing this, do
not be in ahurry. Give the youngsters
time to get thoroughly acquainted with
every strap and buckle, as it were. Let
him see everything and smell every
thing. The senses of sight, smell and
touch are the great avenues of knowl-
edge to the horse, especially the last
two. The ear and eye give the alarm.
These two organs stand. as it were, on
picket for the animals safety. But if
your horse is frightened at anything,
let him smell and touch it. and he will
fear no longer. If your colt is afraid
of the harness as it comes rustling out
of the harness room, let him touch it
with his nose, and smell of it few
times and he will soon understand that
it will not hurt him. If he is inclined
to kick or jump, if the preaching band
or any strap hits his hams or legs, by
gently rubbing them against the sensi-
tive places he will soon become indif-
ferent to them. BY the time the colt
is two years of age, or even less, he
should be educated to 60 between
shafts, either forward or backward, and
be thoroughly familiar with the harness
and vehicle, and ordinary road service.
SANITARY VALUE OF TREEs.-The
value of trees, in sanitary point of
can scarcely be over-estimated. Apart
from the sense of relief and GOODNESS
which they impart, their inhence as
purifiers of the atmosphere is almost
incredible. 1t has been calculated that
a good.sized elm, plane or line tree
will produce 700, 900 leaves, having a
united area Of 200, 900 square feet. Com
petent authority shows that not only do
the leaves absorb deleterious gases, but
they exhale oxygen. They must. there
fore, be of immense benefit in over.
crowded and unhealthy districts. When
to this it is added that trees modify
temperature, promoting GOODNESS in
summer and warmth in winter, also,
that they purify the soil be'ow as well
as tho atmosphere above, we have q
very powerful sanitary argument for
tree planting.-Londo. Medical E.eam-

Social Ceremonies.

At bottom, the social forms OF all
civilized nations are based on the grand
principle of mutual good will, and OF
doing to others as we would that others
should do to us. There must be reci-
procity, both of forbearance and of act
i've kindness. The French have q
proverb, "A pleasure conferred de-
serves another in RETURN" and in popu-
lar language, pleasure has wider sense
than the mere dictionary meaning,
stretching so far as even to include a
money present. When once the mutu-
atty basis of poljteness is admitted and
adopted, the rest will ever be question
of degree, to be regulated by the slid
ing scale of time and opportunity.
Hence, cases, anecdotes, and illustra-
tons, are better guides to the true
spirit of all ceremonial, than any code
Of abstract rules.
Common sense and ready tact can
alone prevent people from committing
blunders and improprieties. If from
the sublime to the ridiculous there is
only one step, who does not feel that
there is only half a step from civility
to affectation, from kindness to famil-
iarity, from pleasantly to sarcasm, from
dignity to stiffness, from unreserved to
rough behaviour, from cheerful fun to
boisterousness? Whoever keeps on
the right side of the boundary, and, by
long usage or by natural instinct. not
only does what he ought at the right
time and place, but absolutely and
completely refrains from everything
that would compromise him, may fairly
claim the title of well-bred person.
In manners, as in diplomacy, excess
of zeal is great mistake; in none of
its shapes should politeness ever be
overdone. Set compliments are dan
gerous things to handle. They may be
offered in all sincerity, and yet have
very equivocal sound. An old adage
says, "All men are equal before Polite
ness" which is certainly great mis-
take. On the contrary, ceremonial po-
likeness recognizes and regulates the
inequality of men and women. 1t gives
unto Caesar the things that are Caesars,
and to the underling the things that are
the underling's. 1t is as strict as
Portia, in the matter Of the pound of
flesh; it forbids the taking of hairs
breadth more or less than the pound
written in the bond and due to the
claimant 1t metes out its awards with
an iron rule. This is your right and
that is yours; here is his place, and
there is theirs. No cavil. dispute or dis
cussion is possible; still less pleading
for indulgence and favor.

APPLE RICE PUDDING. Peel, halve
and core six tart apples; place them in
flat stew-pan' with little water, two
tablespoonfuls of sugar, two or three
cloves, and stick of cinnamon; when
tender, take up carefully; boil the strip
while longer, and pour over the
pieces. Boil two thirds of teacupful
of rice in milk, with scant teacupful
of white sugar, and the rind of lemon,
until the rice is thoroughly cooked
then take out the rind and stir in the
beaten yelks of three eggs. Put half
of the rec at the bottom of a pudding
dish; spread over the apples; cover
with the remaining rice, and place in a
beat the whites of the eggs into a stiff
froth, add the juice of lemon, three
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, and
spread over the pudding. Return to
the oven until of a delicate brown.
Rock CREAM.-This will be found to
be very ornamental as we'll as deli
cious dish for supper-table. Boil tea
cupiul of the best rice till quite soft in
new milk sweetened with powdered
loaf sugar and pile it upon dish; lay
on it in different places square Jumps Of
either currant jelly or preserved fruit
of any kind; beat up the whites of five
eggs to stiff froth with little pow
dered sugar, and flavor with lemon or
vanilla. Add to this when beaten very
stiff about tablespoonful of rich
cream and drop it over the rice, giving
it the form of rocks Of snow.
How TO CURE DYsPEPSIA.-Dr. Mich
OILS, who has made a series of dietetic
experiments on himself, has arrived at
the conclusion that, if the stomach is
allowed to rest, any case of dyspepsia
may be cured: that the diet question
was at tho root of all diseases; that pure
blood can only be made from pure food,
and that, if the drink of q nation were
pure aud free from stimulating quail
ties, and the food was also pure, the re-
suit would be pure health.
EGG BREAD. - Egg bread is not
cheap, but it is good, and young house
wives, whose yeast sometimes plays
tricks with them, will find it a great
resource. To make it take one pint OF
milk, two eggs, butter the size OF an
egg, one half cupful Of sugar. three
teaspoonfuls OF sea foam, flour enough
to make batter; bake. This makes
one loaf.
VEGETABLE CURRY.-Take carrots,
celery, parsley, potatoes, onions and
umbers; cut small and add to some
good stock properly seasoned. When
sufficiently stewed, mix in a piece OF
butter with -four to give it thickness, o
tablespoonful of curry powder and the
Juice OF small lemon. Boil up and
when serving add spoonful of catsup.
A SIDE DIsH.-Boil some eggs until
hard; remove the shells; cut in half;
take out the yelks and beat up with q
little chopped parsley seasoned with
pepper and salt; refill the whites and
serve With drawn butter.
GRAVES AND SoUPs.-To make gra-
vies and soups rich dark. brown, put
some -four on tin plate in the oven, or
on the stove. and brown slightly, to be
used for thickening.
