CASSIDY FOR CONG aEss.

The Carson Tribune says it is init
mated that George w. Cassidy, c
Eureka, will be a candidate for Cor
gress, and that should such prove to e
the fact, he will receive large suppGt
outside of his own party. The Tw-
earora Times Review takes the surmiss
Of the Tribune for text, and pays II.
Cassidy handsome and deservd
compliment.
Mr.. Cassidy is editor of the Eurela
Sentinel, an able and influential ious
nal. He has served Eureka county, O
which he is resident and pioneer, III

pieces, and in the dazzling allurements
at the Capital forgot pledges and, prom
Uses made TO their constituents before
election, and made themselves famous
by their infamies, he was one of the
few who remained faithful to the people,
and voted for every measure that was
introduced in the body of which ne was
a member, to afford them relief from
excessive fares and treights. He is not
an extremist, who would cripple rail-
roads to acquire popularity for the time
being, but his record shows that he
took statesman like view of the situa-
ton, and voted for what seemed alike
just to the people and the railroad
companies.
He is the author Of che. bill to. pro-
hibit the employment of Chinese, on
public works in this State, and was
one of the most active members and
ready debaters in the Senate. He is
eminently qualified for the position Of
Representative 50 Congress, and the
convention which is to meet here in
May should not overlook him in. cast
ing about for candidate for Congress-
man. We do not know that he is in
the field for the position, or that he
would accept the nosnination il. itgwas
t3ndered him, but it may be- worth
while to give him trial. The people
of Nevada are very nearly equally d..
vided, and, as intelligent Republicans,
concede that parties should be repre-
scented in our legislative bodies in,pro-
portion to their number, ID is nothing
more than simple justice that one of the
three Representatives in Congress from
this State should be Democrat.

Shrewd political Observers are OF the
opinion that after the coming Presiden-

can no longer be run on sectional lines.
Material issues, such as revision Of the
tariff, will then divide parties, and there
is fair prospect of their reconstruction
ON better basis than now exists.

Putting the Eyes to Use.

An amusing story was popular years
ago, called eyes and no Eyes. 1t told
a number of curious incidents where
two persons saw precisely the same
things. On the one no impression was
made, and what was seen was soon for
gotten The other noticed carefully, was
led to think and to act, and won either
fame or fortune. Mr.. Rusllin says genius
is only a superior power of seeing. Great
discoveries see little farther than other
people.
Columbus, when his men were in mu-
tiny to return to Spain, saw weeds and
plants drifting by his ships, and knew
that land was near Watt saw the steam
lifting the lid of his mothers tea-kettle.
But he saw beyond that fireplace the
steam-engine propelling ships and draw
ing cars.
Newton saw an apple fall in an
orchard. But looking beyondth the orchard,
he saw the wonderful law of gravitatlon,
by which the sun and the earth and other
planets are kept i'll their appointed
places Galvani saw n frogs leg twltch
when two metals touched it, and he saw,
at the same time, the possibilities OF the
galvanic battery
Sir Samuel Brown saw spiders web
floating across his path one summer S
morn, and he saw also the possibility OF
n suspension bridge spanning river. 1t
it well to train the eyes to see all that
may be seen.

Display OF knowledge.

In a crowded city street an ll-natured
mastiff seized little dog by the throat,
and threatened to strangle him. A crowd
soon gathered, full of sympathy for the
little sufferer and of anger against the
mastiff. Words and blows were freely
used to compel him to let go his hold,
and stones and clubs were brought as
additional arguments. But the ugly
brute held on the more tenaciously, and
the case of the poor little dog seemed
hopeless.
When everybody was at his wits ends,
a dandy, exquisitely dressed, happened
along. Looking with a sort of contempt
on the mongrel crowd, he said, in a con-
sequential tone, 'Leave him to me. The
laugh was general at his expense.
But with admirable GOODNESS, drawing
from his pocket golden snuff-box, he
held two or three pinches of snuff under
the nose of the mastiff. While the mouth
was closed, the mastiff could breathe only
through the nostrils. In moment the
snuff did its work. The brute began
sneezing vigorously, dropped the little
dog, and, half-frightened took to his
heels. The dandy, looking around COM
placently on the crowd said, knowledge
is power and went on his way.

Cost of Spirits and Beer.

tail is enormous. There are In barrel
of whisky thirty-one gallons. At retail
there are Ga drinks i'll gallon, and 1854

For barrel of ale of 81 gallons the
cost is about SO. In gallon the num-
Der of drinks will average Is, at 5 cents

5 cents glass for beer and ale, of $275,

The cost to the people of the United
States for distilled and fermented liquors
must be some $500, 900, 900 year. This
is an enormous sum for drink And not
dollar of this vast expenditure adds
anything to the physical, mental, or
moral well being of our family, but Gre
ates misery and evil beyond the power OF
any pen to describe or any imagination
to conceive. And yet we have this fact
to console us: There are not as much
ardent spirits consumed now, per capita,
as fifty years ago The consumption OF

Earth Eating Jinapan.

1t is rather surprising to find that some
of the japanese are addicted to the eating
of earth. DR.. Love has lately published
an analysis of clay which is eaten to a
considerable extent by the Amos; it oc-
ours in bed several feet thick, in the
valley of Tsietonai (eat-earth Valley, on
the north coast of Yesso. 1t is light gray
in color, and of fine structure. The
people mix with the clay fragments of
the leaf of some plant for the aromatic
principle it contains They eat the earth
because they think it contains some bene-
fetal substance, not because it is a ne
cessity with them. They have meat in
abundance, and vegetable food. The
clay is eaten in the form of a soup. Sew
eral pounds are boiled with lily roots in
a small quantity of water, and afterward
strained. The Amos pronounce the soup
very palatable. -Engtish Mechanic.

The Boy and the Procession.

What would a procession be without
the attending escort of boys? Did you
ever see procession with no boys lead
ing the advance or following along by
the side of it? Never, unless it was u
funeral procession. But there is another
procession that he doesn't take stock ill.,
His proudest position is right alongside
of the drum-major, and he would feel
that kick from that gorgeous parsonage
or thump from his staff with the big
gilded knob, would he the highest honor
he could receive. The next most desir-
able position is next to the man who
blows the bass-drum, which he will hold
for squares at the imminent risk of hav-
ing his brains knocked out by the big
drum-stick. And you can't tire the boys
out, either, no matter how protracted
the march may be. A few may lag
along the line, cheerfully tripping up a
soldier now and then, but their places
are quickly filled up at the head of the
column. There they go, some white,
some black, some barefooted, some with
out jackets and others bareheaded. They
are irrepressible, and it doesn't do any
good for the marshal to shake his sword
at them and order them away, or for
policemen to threaten. They are the
self-appointed advance guard of the pro-
cession, and cannot be discharged or dis
persed.

Saginaw, Adrian, Saginaw City, Ann

while Bay City had leaped up to fifth.
Saginaw City held its own Mt sixth, Adj

eighth, Port Huron ninth, and Flint
taking tenth place, Ann Arbor having

The Railway.

When Jim Fisk introduced the word
"railway" to current American speech
few lines in this country used the term.
At present out of LAT names of COM
panies in Poor's Manual, 1876 are Grail
ways" and 962 railroads. The former
term is largely used as convenient
synonym in reorganizing old roads. The
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail
road has, for instance, just become the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail
way. Aside from the convenience which
it affords by changing n name in law and
leaving it unaltered in sound, the change
in this case doubtless hinged on the fact
that the stock and bonds of the road are
largely held in England, where railway is
the constant term. English railway
Technology is constantly coming into
use in this country, and not always adj
vantageously. "Carriage" for Gear " Is
beginning to appear in the reports of ac-
cidents, and is unfortunate, because
"car" has but one general meaning, and
carriage" has two. metals, the
English term for rails, would be an adj
dition to railroad speech. 1t is graphic,
and is not ambiguous as Grail is espe'
cially in this country.

A NASHVILLE physician is accompa-
MED in his professional visits by a
large dog, which watches over the horse
and buggy. One night he left the horse
unhitched, and when he returned the
horse had disappeared, but was found
several hundred feet away, where the
dog was sitting on his launches i'll front
of him and holding the hitch-rein in his
teeth. At another time the horse was
standing unhitched near a railroad track,
and took fright at the cars. Before he
could run far the dog had caught the
reins in his teeth, and soon stopped the
runaway. A Canandaigua mother
thought her little daughter merited a
whipping, and, as she aimed to strike
her, the Newfoundland dog of the family
caught the menacing arm IN his mouth,
but did not bite. The father, coming
in at that moment, out of curiosity
made pretense of furnishing the child,
and his arm was arrested in the same
way.

HeaIthfulness of Milk.

If any one wishes to grow feshy, a
pint of milk taken before retiring at
night will soon cover the scrawniest
bones. Although nowadays we see n
good many tieshy persons, there are a
great many lean and lank ones, who
sigh for the fashionable measure of
plumpness, and who would be vastly
improved in health and appearance
could their figures be rounded with
good, solid flesh. Nothing is more GOV
eted by thin women than full figure,
and nothing will so raise the ire and
provoke the scandal of the "clipper-
builds "a the consciousness of plump
ness in rival.
plant milk is now given with excellent
