Racing on the Road.

Considerable amusement was
caused in Silver, yesterday, by the
appearance of the noon stages COM
ing down from the DEVILS Gate with
the teams at the top of their speed
Each driver was urging his animals
to the lest of his ability. Dallas's
stage reached the stopping-place first,
but Barton's stage got good piece
ahead while the mail was being pre-
pared fer the Dallas stage, and he
reached Dayton about twenty min
utes ahead of the mail. This is gen.
orally the case, and is well. known
throughout the county, but Dallas's
driver sometimes gets on his mettle,
and race follows which proves ex-
citing to the eye-witnesses.

Entertainment, at DAYTON.

The Dayton public school gave q
very pleasant entertain at Odd

inclemency of the weather, the house

was an excellent one and well car.

themselves creditdbly. The most
taking part Of the programme was
the song Whistle and Hoe" well
rendered by eight boys, the song
having whistling chorus. This
piece was vociferously enchorcd, rs
was also song Barney O'Hea,"
exceptionally well rendered by y
charming little girl of twelve years.

A Ballroom Incident,

At the recent Miners Union ball j.,
young man, weight ITO pounds,
dancing in a quadrllle, encountered
9 lady weighing 800 pounds, and
while celebrating in what manner to

told, in accents sweet: "Don't squeeze
me too hard"

The Mining.Stock Eclipse.

There is seeming eclipse in this
city in the affairs of the stock world,
as well as in business generally. The
cautious fear that the beginning of
the end" has but just commenced.
Speculative capital is to a certain
extent folding its tents and seeking
other centers of employment. The
unemployed mechanic is taking adj
vantage of low fares that he may
have better market in which to
offer his skill. The wildcat" min
ing Spectator is hurrying with his
game towards Wall street with all
the earnestness Of the hunter with
the first slaughter of the season.
The "chippers" of our Stock Boards
are turning their lean backs upon
what they think is the wreck OF
things here, and pointing their way
in true Indian file towards the ris
ing sun and the New York Ex-
change. And to make more dark
the eclipse, the sand lot is sending
forth its committees of inquisition
to overawe and intimidate legiti-
mate industry, as well as accumu-
lated capitals. F. Chronicle.

Trouble I'm the Fold.

There is again trouble between the
shepherd and the lambs of the Pres
byterian fold IN Virginia City. Rev.
MIR. Graham, the new pastor, is said
to have "got himself disliked" by
stating that Virginia not being a fit
place for family to live 10, he
would not bring his family there,
This is considered grievous crime,
and from present appearances and
the bleating of the old ewes of his
congregation, the reverend gentleman
will soon be compelled to betake
himself to locality where freedom
of speech is not denied.

Gas In Lager Beer.

Consumers of lager beer will
probably be surprised to learn that
nearly half of the bulk of their ia
vorite beverage is composed of gas.
This was demonstrated, few days
ago, by gentleman of this city.
Finding the contents of beer bot.
tie frozen hard, he placed the bottle
beside stove, and about half an
hour after he picked up the bottle,
when he found its contents reduced
by half. This is all the more re.
markable from the fact that the bot
tie was tightly corked. The beer had
a rather heavy, but otherwise not
disagreeable taste.

A LEAP-YEAR PROPOSAL.
How 1t Has Involved an Estima-
BILE Young Miner of This City.

A young miner of this city is in
sore distress. About six weeks ago
a young lady whom he had met fire.
quently during the past two years
asked him to marry her. 1t being
leap-year, the young man thought
she was joking, and he agreed to all
her demands. She, elated, fixed the
day the same evening. The marriage
was to take place on the second of
March if stocks went up, and on the
first of May if they did not. The
young lady at once sent to New
York for an elegant bridal trousseau,
and began making preparations, but
refused to state the name of her in
tended. About two weeks ago the
young man begged another young
lady upon whom he had showered
attentions for over six months, to
make him happy man, by naming
the day. This she did, and imme-
diately Informed her friends of the
fact. The young man, delighted,
did likewise. But his delight was
of brief duration, for the third day
after he had been accepted he met
the young lady who had first pro.
posed to him, and having con-
firmed the rumors, was told
that she Qady No. y would never
consent to his marriage with another,
because he was her own affianced
Pleadings and expostulations of mu-
tual friends have been in vain, and
the lady insists that unless he mar
ries her, she will sue him for breach
of promise. The young man owns
two houses in this city, has 1900
in bank, and as much in stocks.

GEOGRAPHY MATCHES.
How They are Conducted In Our
Public Schools.

There was a geography match in
Mr.. Van Wagenen's department of
the Silver public school, last Fri
day afternoon. Miss Fannie Null
lard was the victor. These matches
are conducted in the following man
ner: The teacher either states
geographical name, or calls upon
one of his pupils to do so. When
the name is spoken, another pupil is
ordered to state the location of the
object named. If this is done cor
rectly the same pupil has the privi-
lege OF giving out name beginning
with the last letter of the name given
to him or her. If the pupil called
on is unable to give satisfactory an
swer he or she sits down, and the
next pupil is asked. This is repeated
until there is but one pupil left stand
ing. An example will make the
mode of procedure plain: A asks B to
state where the city of Sacramento is
situated, and to give such information
concerning it as may be of interest.
B replies: The city of Sacramento is
situated in Sacramento county, State
OF California. 1t is the capital of the
State. B then goes on to state what
he knows of the local history of the
place until the teacher signifies his
approval, when he gives out a name
beginning with 49," the last letter
in the word Sacramento.
This is superior method of teach
ing, as the pupils enter into it with q
zest and an interest inspired by none
other.

Monkeys IN BurInah.
M the St. Panl Pioneer Press-

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
An essayist, in recent issue of the
Scientific Neaos, writing of monkeys In
Burmah, makes some surprising revela-
tions of the intelligence of those AMI
mails which are Interesting at least,
whether there is any truth in them or
not. According to the writer, who
spent many years in Southern Asia, the
monkey makes the most reliable cashier
in the world. and when we'll trained is
able to discriminate between true and
spurious coin with delicacy to which
his master cannot approximate. When
a coin is placed in his hand he first ex-
amines its design and inscriptions with
great gravity and attention, and then
puts the piece in his mouth, and tests it
by the sense of taste. Ii it Is all right
he passes 1t to his master with nod of
approval. but if bad, he places it upon
the counter with severe and forbid
ding expression of countenance. Such
reputation for acumen I'm the detec-
tion of coin have monkey cashiers, that
no one ever thinks of appealing from
their decision, and they are regarded as
experts whose decision is final. Better
than this, they are never detected in
attempts to defraud their employers.
and are extremely reliable in money
matters.
But they will steal fine fruits when
they get the opportunity, organizing
raids In parties of score or more upon
the fruit groves Of the neighborhood,
and fairly running the Industrious
fruiterer in single night. That these
raids my be defeated, proprietors train
monkeys of their own to dress them
selves in tiger cat skins and conceal
themselves in the foliage OF the trees.
Thus clothed in the panoply of the
deadiiest and most dreaded enemy OF his
tribe, the guardian of the coveted fruit
leaps down from his covert at the mo-
ment the raiders have become fairly
engaged, and rushes in among them
with reckless gallantry. Instantly,
without stopping to look further than
the spotted hide, the members of the
assailing party take up the alarm, cry
and run away in panic, shrieking and
trembling, while their disguised BROTH
er follows close upon their heels. 1t is
said that they never revisit premises
from which they have once been driven
in this way, and that the proprietor
afterward enjoys an immunity from
their depredatioBs which cannot be
procured by shooting half q dozen of
them In the act OF midnight larceny.
