Words of Wisdom.

Some persons are chronically sour
you feel every time you meet them as il
you'd been eating lemons without sugar
they stamp s,owl on you inside and
out.
A jealous soul without meekness is
like a ship in a storm, in danger of
wrecks. A meek soul without zeal is
like ship in calm, that moves not as
fast as it ought.
When we are out of sympathy with
the young, then we think our work in
this world is over. That is sign that
the heart has begun to wither-and that
is a dreadful kind of old age.
There is no man who has so little snare
time as the one who is thoroughly idle.
Idling is OF itself business which finds
even all the waking hours of the day not
quite sufficient for its needs.
Do little hopeful things and sneak
hopefu. words whenever you can. Thew
are better than pearls or diamonds to
strew along the roadside of life, and
will yield a far more valuable harvest.
To be satisfied with the acquittal of
the world. though accompanied with
the secret condemnation of conscience.
this is the mark of a little mind: but
it requires soul of no common stamp
to be satisfied with its own acquittai,
and to despise the condemnation of the
world.
1t is the impulse and duty of every
right minded man to secure time for
himself and his personal culture as well
as time for his business. The education
OF school is the mere portal to the higher
education which every one may give to
himself. In many cases, in fact, it may
be said that education does not begin till
we leave school. Use the after-bours
for improvement.

The ancient Egyptians showed great
wisdom and tender care in their treat
ment of the insane. At each extremity
of Egypt was built a temple to
Saturn, where lunatics of various de-
grees were brought by their friends.
These temples were adorned by the finest
works OF art, were surrounded by beau
tiful shady grounds, and patients were
provided with every form of amusement
and recreation that could occupy the
mind and ;nvigorate the body. Music,
wine, employment, fixing the attention
and exercising the memory, were the
principal remedies used, and none but
the most violent maniacs were put under
any personal restraint.

Time Tables and Cars.

A contributor to the International
Re0teD tells how the larger railroad COR
porationS make their time tables, and
keep account of their cars, as follows:
la one small room there is board
some ten feet square, having on one side
the name of every station on the road
and at right angles with this list the
time at intervals OF five minutes through
the day. BY sticking pins with thread s
attached, the position of every train is
established, the time table is MADE I'D !;
and with this and the aid OF the tele-
graph, the responsible head regulates
the trains as on q chess-board. In
any large station-vard one may see
freight-cars marked with the name of al
most every road in the country. and the
traveller asks himself, how are they ever
got home again, and why is not the roll :
ing stock found scattered in the time of
need? This is the business of every car
accountant. To this official every con-
ductor makes a daily return of every
car composing his train. The account
ant has table or tables, having on one
side the nu nbers of every car, whether
passenger or freight, belon ging to the
road, and at right angles with it the
days of the month. By placing the
numbers of the stations against those of
the cars and the date, perfect picture
is obtained of the distribution of the
rolling stock, which the traffic manager
can alter at pleasure. The names of
foreign roads having connections are
added to the number of stations, and
indica'e who is responsible for missing
cars. If the connecting road has the
same system, and has sent the car over
still another road, it transmits the de-
mand OF the owner and thus car may
be traced all round the United States.

LOCAL INTELLFGEN az.
The Show Last NIGHT.

The exhibition given by Bahlhorn
& Browns Novelty Company at Centen-
NAL Hall last night, was the best of its
kind ever seen here. The people have
been so often bilked, by persons repre-
senting themselves to be legerdemain-
lists. that not over one hundred attend
cd, only very few ladies being present.
Professor Bahlhorn performed some
wonderful feats. He passed % inch
sword among the audience to satisfy
them that it was what he represented
it to be, and then run about foot and
a half of it down his throat This feat
was accomplished on the floor in the
midst of the audience. He swallowed
a hat full of blazing cotton, and then
drew enough ribbons out of his throat
to start milliner shop. He laded
blazing oil into'his mouth, with appa-
rently as much relish as a hungry miner
would bean soup, and did many other
things which astonished and pleased his
audience. The decaptation act, in
which man was apparently beheaded
on the stage, was well executed, and
though everybody knew that they were
being deceived, none could detect the
deception. Tonight there will be a
change of programme, but the decapi-
tation act will be repeated, if desired.

A CHINESE HIGHwAYMAN.

He Waylays. Murders and Robs Team
ster and is Put to Death by His
Countrymen.
The Elko papers give the particulars
of murder and robbery perpetrated
by Chinaman in the northern part of
the county. 1t appears that on last
Thursday G.. w. Mardis, better known
as " Allegheny" left Island Mountain
with a four-horse team for Elko, to get
load of goods for Chinese store
keeper, named Lem, at Island Noun
tain. He had about $3.50 on his person,
and nothing was seen or heard of ''Alle-
gheny" or the team until Saturday,
when the latter was found by party
of white men, about five miles from
Island Mountain. The horses were
nearly famished for food and water, and
no signs of the driver could be found.
A short distance from the team bare
foot tracks were found, and these were
followed for a mile, when the person
making them, evidently put on pair
of Chinese shoes. The trail led to a
Chinese settlement, near Island Noun
tain, and was followed to a cabin occu-
pied by Chinaman, who saw Lem give
the money to Allegheny" The
Chinaman was also seen some distance
from Island going from where the team
was found These circumstances pointed
so directly at the guilt Of the China
man, that a party of herders arrested
him and took him to Mountain City
A number of persons, with the China
man in charge, left for the place where
the team was found, to search for
Allegheny" and see whether the
naked foot of the suspected Chinaman
filled the tracks leading from the wagon.
The party found the body of "Alleg-
heny," who had been shot and stabbed
to death. The suspected Chinaman
acknowledged that he had murdered
the teamster. He was then turned over
to the Cinnamon, who put him to death.
Conductor Hopkins informs us that
he learned at Elko yesterday that
Mardis, who was elected delegate
from Island Mountain, to one of the
county conventions, had 500 in coin
on his person when the Chinaman mar
dered him.

Of Interest to School Trustees.

The intelligence has just reached us
through the Superintendent OF Public
Instruction, that the Attorney General
advises, in case School Trustees neglect
to make the proper report of their
school district to the County Superin-
tendents, as required by law, that the
County Saperintendents deprive them
of their share of school money. 1t looks
as if it would be rough treatment to
deprive school district of its share of
the school funds because of the negli-
gence of the Trustees, but it seems
that is the law of the matter.
