The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1880-05-24

One of the coaches on the Great
Western Railroad of England has been
painted with Prof. Balmain's luminous
paint. 1t is in appearance very little
different from ordinary paint, but dur
ing the time the carriage is exposed to
the light the paint is rapidly absorbing
the daylight, and when night comes it
throws out mild radiance. It has
been employed on life buoys, rendering
them visible from long distance.

Hours and Minutes.

Why is one hour divided into sixty
minutes, and each minute into sixty
seconds? Why not divide our time as
we do our money, by tens, counting
ten, or fifty, or one hundred minutes to
an hour! This question was asked by
an intelligent boy few days since, and
the answer given him may both inter-
est and instruct other young people.
The answer is this: We have sixty
divisions on the dials of our clocks and
watches, because the old Greek astron-
omer, Hipparchus, who lived in the
second century before Christ, accepted
the Babylonian systcm of reckoning
time, that system being sexigesimal.
The Babylonians were acquainted with
the decimal system, but for common
and practical purposes they counted by
sossi and sari, the sosSos representing
sixty; and the soa'os sixty times sixty,
is thirty-six hundred From Hippar-
chus that mode of reckoning found its
way into thesworks of Ptolemy, about
$50 A. D., and hence was carried down
the stream of science and civilization,
and found the way to our dial plates Of
our clocks and watches.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.

In the Spring of 1865, when Sheri-
dams cavalry moved up the Shenandoah
Valley to have last wrestle with
Early's troopers, a halt was made by a
portion of the Union forces near
Waynesboro'. Guards were thrown
out to protect property, and among
others the house of lone and aged
widow received such protection. Two
dismounted cavalrymen were stationed
at the front door, and it was half an
hour or so before any stir in or around
the house gave token that it was inhab-
tied. Then the widow limped to the
door on crutch and called one of the
guards TO her and asked:
"What are you doing here"
1--WE are guards to protect you and
your property" was the reply.
"Well, you needn't fool away any
time here. Early, he come and took
our hay. Then Sheridan come, and he
took our corn. Then Aoseby stole our
hams and 'tatcrs. Then Sheridan took
our -four aud cider. Then Early run
off all our horses. All had left this
morning was an old sick mule and meal
enough for one hoe-cake. The mule, he
died two hours ago, and I've just eaten
the last'o the cake, and if you can find
anything worth guarding around here
you can have it and tote it off. "
''But some OF the soldiers may dis
turb you"
II guess not" she said, and she then
pointed to the spot where cannon ball
had torn through the house. "The day
that hole was torn through there l was
rocking and singing the Pilgrims
Hope, and | didn't miss rock nor
drop note don't hardly think one
brigade OF horse sojers can disturb me
very much. You'll obleege me by jist
logging along !"-Detrot Free Press.

THE editor Of the Altoona Radical is
responsible for the statement that Cen
eral Hancock is not Iineal descendant
of John Hancock, President of the Con-
tinental Congress, but that he is the son
Of Richard Hancock, an Englishman,
whose brother and sister (bIrs. Reynolds)
both lived in Altoona, the sister having
died there only a year ago. This is said
to be the age of discovery, and it is bare
ly possible that sometime during the
present campaign the RoJiccJ win sue
ceed in making the discovery that Gen.
Hancock is the son OF Benjamin Frank
lin Hancock, Il soldier of the war of 1912
that he was a lawyer in Philadelphia
and that he removed to Norristown in
1898, when his son Winfield 5. Hancock,
now the Democratic candidate for Pre-
sident, was four years old. The editor
of the R1dicoI will learn a great many
things about Hancock between this and
the time referred to by Garfield in his
speech at the Chicago convention as
''the melancholy days of November"

IL order that our readers may fully
understand the true character of Gen.
Hancock and his capacity for the admin
istration of civil affairs, we viii publish
in our next issue his celebrated order
No 40, dated at New Orleans, Novem-
Der %, 1867, when he assumed COM
mand of the Fifth Military District,
composed of the States of Louisiana and
Texas, and also his no less remarkable
letter to Governor Pease of Texas, dated
March Q, 1865, in reply to the applica-
tiou of the Governor for the establish
meEt of military commissions in that
state. Seven days after the date of this
letter. General Grant, who was then
General of the army, having been inves-
ted,bya Republican Congress with extra
ordinary powers, determined to hUmiI-
late Hancock before the people he was
sent to govern, and with that purpose in
in view relieved him of the command.
Hancock, for several reasons, knew that
the official hand of his superior was
raised to strike, but he was prepared
for the blow, rs he had just written to a
Democratic member Of Congress from
this State clam prepared for any event,
bit nothing can intimiddte ne from doing
,~int / belisre to be honest and right. -
The man who wrote these words under
the circumstances which then surround
ell him, deserves an imperishabIe mOnu-
ment, and such Will be the verdict Of
the American people.

DON CAMERON, declining to comply
with Gariield's personal appeal, publish
ed a letter early last week absolutely re-
fusing to act as Chairman of the Re
publican National Committee during the
present campaign, When Grant went
down to his political grave at Chicago,
Cameron knew that his leadership in his
own State was shattered and gone, and
so it is. lie says he is sick and can't
possibly attend to Garlield's business,
but does any one imagine that if Grant
had been nominated Cameron would not
have been entirely willing to run the
campaign. At a meeting of the Com
mit;ee on Friday last in New York, cx-
Governor Jewell, of Connecticut, was
chosen Chairman. During his second
term Grant appointed Jewell tothe office
of Postmaster General, uut he didn't
wear well, and Grant. soon finding out
that he was not the jc,rci hc took him to
be. got rid OF him by unccremoniously
kicking him out Of the cabinet.

DID General Hancock hang poor Irish
Catholic woman by the name Of Mrs. Surratt
for keeping a boarding house ?-JohnstoiCn
Tribune.
Didn't You. oh : most tender hearted
and sympathetic editor of the Tribune,
proclaim from the housetops in July,
1868, when Mary E. Surratt was judici-
ally murdered by the act of a Republican
military commission, that she was guilty
and deserved to be hung You had
then no crocodile tears TO shed oyeV the
cruel fate of this poor Irish-C2tholic
woman by the name of Mrs. SWrratt, .
whose hanging, after the lapse of fifteen
years, moves you now for political pur-
pose to play the part of hypocrite. Is
it because Mrs. Surratt was "a poor
Irish Catholic woman, - that at this late
day you step to the front as one of her
chief mouruers ? If she had been a poor
Irish-P -PreSGuteTida woman, you would no
doubt have condOned the crime, so in
tense and well known is your love for
the Catholic Irish When the Tribune
supported for Auditor General, and af-
forwards for Governor, the man whose
military duty it became to superintend
the details of Mrs. Surratt's execution
1--WE refer of course to John F. Har-
tranft), had you any insinuations to
make against him for the hanging of this
''poOr Irish-Catholic woman ?'' None
that we remember. On the day after
your great and illustrious friend, Gen.
Grant, was slaughtered by the Chicago
convention, he attended a soldiers re-
union at Milwaukee, and when asked by
a newspaper reporter who in his opinion
would be nominated at Cincinnati, re,
piled that he believed Gov. Seymour
would be the man. To the further
/ question whether the Mrs SurTatt matter
would injure Gen. Hancock if he should
! be the nominee, Grant said: There
/ are perhaps some fools who will use that
against him, but Hancock is no more
/ responsible for her execution than
am The past experience Of the Irt
Z J,me ought to have taught its editor thai
/ he cannot coax Irish Democrats to dane,

action of the Cincinnati convention by

ALTHOUGH Grant has not said, as it
was at first reported he had, that he will
vote for Hancock, he does not make any
secret of saying that he believes Han
cock will be elected. In this connection
it is proper to remark that Grants dis
patch to Garfield congratulating him on
his nomination has never been publish
ed, for the reason that it is still on its
travels and has never come into Gar
