he has never seen gray-headed Indian

ninety years old. 1t is because an In
dian has no trouble, no worriment, or
anything that way. His wife chops all
the wood, builds the fires, goes to market
at daylight, stones tranps out of the
front yard, and blacks his boots. And
he is not tormented by tax collectors,

News comes from the Cardoba Obser-.
vAtsry In South America that DR.. Gould.
Director Of the observatory there, has
discovered great comet. which is pass
ing the sun in u northward direction.
The only comet Of short period expected
this year il Winneok's, and that, accord.
ing to the accepted calculations Of its
orbit. should not be visible before the
latter part Of December next. Probably
Dr.. Gsula's great comet is new visitor
from the depths Of space. II we are to
be treated to such celestial spectacle ss
those of us remember who saw the great
comet OF 1858. this generation may be
considered peculiarly fortunate in that
respect, for It is the lot Of very few men
to behold more than one such q sight 10
lifetime. One of the most impressive
things about these wandering visitors,
which in former ages struch whole ma.

som.thinc oueh. to be done with those

Something ought to be done with those
barbarans in the Eastern States. There
is hardly q day but what the kilograms
from that semi-eivilized portion of the
United States bring Us tidines of most
cruel murders and unmentionable deeds
being committed throughout that section
Of our country. Parents there kill their
children and children murder their par
ents. husbands kill their wives and wives
poison their husbands, and men run
loose killing, robbing and ravishing
women. At Patterson. New Jersey, the
other morning, a lady was found in her
room murdered, outraged and robbed.
The good people Of Nevada ought to do
something and try to teach these people
different. Let them organize societies
and send missionaries there to teach
those people the ways of the Lord. A
few missionaries sent out among the
semi.civilizsd natives Of the East weuld
do great deal of good in showing those
people the error of their ways and many
of them might be reformed and taught
to love the Lord. There would be no
necessity of having any tracts printed
for Phoebe has just received large
supply, and those might be returned to
the citizens of the Eastern States.
From special dispatch to the Eureka
Sentinel We learn that the Republican
State Central Committee, at their meet
ing held in Virginia City last Monday,
resolved to hold a State Convention at
Austin on the 18th of May next. for the
purpose Of selecting delegates to the Ma.
tional Republican Convention, which
meets at Chicago on the 80 Of June. The
County Central Committees are to ar
range for primaries before May 9th, to
elect delegates to the State Convention.
The Sentinel's dispatch states that ne
effort was made to appoint delegates to
the National Convention, all agreeing
that IL Was better to yield to the popular
demand for State Convention to choose
the delegates. Grant and Blaine we're
discussed informally, though no test vote
was had as between them. II was in
ierrsd from the expression Of members
that the Blaine men were in the major.
ity, and had the Committee resolved to
appoint the delegates, it is more than
likely that Blaine delegation would
have been chosen. Lincoln county is,
according to the apportionment. entitled
to three delegates to the State Conven-
ton.
