Drawing an Inference.

The slim man watches his weight
with anxious solicitude. 1t is amusing
to see him weigh himself. He steps on
the platform as an elephant steps upon
bridge, with an awful fear of break
ing the thing down. and then puts the
three-hundred-p -pound weight on the end
of the beam. OF course he takes it off
again, but he does this most unostenta-
tiously. Having found that he weighs,
say, one hundred and twenty, if you
watch him carefully you will see him
slide tho weight along to one hundred
and seventy Live. He will exclaim, as
lie goes out, ''rve lost ten pounds since
last weekr' He doesn't say how much
he weighs now; if you wish to know,
there is the scale. He knows you will
look, and you can draw your inference.

Convenient Wedding Presents.

The giving of bank checks as pres.
ents at weddings by the fathers of con-
tracing parties is becoming quite fash
ionable. The guests are not supposed
to know whether the donors have or
have not bank accounts, hence the GUS
tom will become widespread one. It
is nice thing to have people talk
about and looks very nice in the papers,
which are carefully informed of the
fact that '.Mr. Blanks gift to the bride
was check for $25, ,OOO." After the
wedding the checks can be destroyed
and the world be none the wiser. An
official of q bank on which one of these
checks was given was present at cer-
emony and created sensation by as
sertins that the giver had not dollar
on deposit; but such a thing might not
occur again in q century.

Rats That Enioyed Fun.

A good rat story is told by lady who
lives in Baltimore, which shows that
rats have a kind of humor about them
at times which they will exercise even
TO the extent of forgetting their plunder-
ing propensities. In the house of this
lady was a child's rocking-horse and
every night the rats would jump on
tine rocking-horse and start it rocking,
and rock it for hours, seemingly with
the greatest enjoyment in the world.
At first, hearing the noise, the people
couldn't imagine the cause, and didn't
know but that the spirits had hand in
it; but when they cautiously peered out
and saw the performance. it became
one of the marvels of the neighborhood
to see the rats in their gambols enjoy
ing themselves, laughing and having
their fun rocking the horse.

The New Disease.

''Your husband requires rest," said
the doctor as he came from the sick
chamber. He Will soon be well; he
has bad attack of tickerosis.
.'Tiekerosis, doctor! Why, that's a
new disease, isn't it?''
Yes. quite. It is cause by watching
the tickers in the brokers' Offices. Il
affects the optic nerve and the spinal
column" ----

THE POLITICAL IMBROGLIO.

Senators Conkling and Plat are
squarely in the field for reelection.
The Administration press have had
Conkling dead for the past ten days,
but they have mistaken the charac-
ter and resources of the man. Roscoe
Conkling is to-day, next to Samuel
j. Tilden, the most cousummrte pol
itician and the greatest party leader
in the country. For the Republic
cans of New York and the United
States to attack him successfully, is
to rend the party asunder. To ignore
him is to invite the opposition to the
party OF the staunchest friends of
union, progress and liberty, sena-
tor Conkling will be re elected. New
York will not prove recreant to her
favorite son. The Administration
should keep aloof from the contest
if it has any regard for the well,be-
ing of the party.

Aboriginal Genius.

The San Francisco Chronicle OF
the 23d inst. contains the following
account of the trials, struggles and
success of an Indian art student:
"Another example of fortiLude in
the pursuit of excellence, which
created temporary sensation IN the
Art School, was furnished by an alb
original genius rejoicing in the name
of"The Deer with the Velvet Horns"
For the purposes of every day life
the owner of this unique title had
changed it tor the more convenient
name of Paul, under which he be.
came known to the Art Association.
He made his debut as an artist in
Phoebe and drew some charcoal por
traits of miners of that district with
such spirit the flattered subjects Of
fered to back him against any artist
in Nevada. 1t was thought that Sam
Davis, who had just issued graphic
picture of the mouth of the Sutro
tunnel, would accept the challenge,
but after much backing and filling
the Carson decorator pleaded a press
of business and declined to sign ar.
ticles. This victory raised the abo-
riginal artist so high in the estima-
ton of Phoebe that he was sent to
San Francisco to amaze tho metro
politan fraternity. After making a
round of the studios, Paul arrived
at the conclusion that the art critics
of tioche were little enthusiastic,
and that he had still something to
learn. With a degree of common
sense creditable to a more civilized
being, he accepted the kind offer OF
gratuitous tuition made by the Art
Association, and sat down in
mute admiration and industry before
the plaster casts from the Greek. ne
worked diligently and Intelligently,
but the acquisition of artistic knowl
edge is not a profitable proceeding,
aud the ambitious red man quickly
arrived at the limit of his slender
purse. The love tor his art was deep
rooted, however, and he kept on,
He BACKED boots surrepti'iously.
He polished windows vigorously,
and he piled his crayon between
times as diligently as the pangs OF
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1881-05-28

hunger or the fatigue of his bread
winning pursuits would permit.
When the prospects of slow starva-
ton grew more gloomy the stout
hearted artist frightened his waist
band in accordance with the eco
nomic method of his race. Attimes
he found difficulty in reducing the
waistband to the dimensions of his
attenuated periphery, but simple
hunger is no match for aboriginal
stolidity, backed by artistic aspira-
ton, and Paul triumphed. He be.
came so skillful in the manipulation
of the crayon and in the treatment
of portraits that his talent grew
marketable. He found ample work
and under the encouragement and
by the assistance of his cOnsiderate
patrons, reached degree of artistic
distinction which, in view of the
method Of its requirement, seems
truly wonderful. In other branch
es than portraiture he has improved.
He writes a remarkably good letter,
and has learned to observe the con
ventionalilies with such nicely that
it is difficult to detect in his manner
any of the characteristics of his
race"

Success Of the Brush Electric
Light.


The experimental test of twenty
three lamps of the Brush Elect &c
Light Company, on Broadway be
tween Fourteenth and Thirty fourth
streets, which nightly, for nearly
four months past. have illuminated
this thorughtare, has proved to be
highly satisfactory to the company,
and has convinced them that this
new illuminator is the light of the
future. The success of the Brush
system elsewhere has been equally
flatterlng, and it judged by the i'm
mense volume of orders received at
the central office from all parts of
the Union, this company takes the
precedence in popularity over its
rivals. Preparations are now being
made for the introduction of the
Brush light in this city on more
extensive scale. Already it is use
in many of our most prominent bus
mess establishments, and Of other
Eastern and Western cities, and has
met with such favor in England that
the light is used in all the great pub
lie buildings of London and Liver
pool. In the trial of the various
electric light systems which com
menced in London on the evening
of March 3lst last, the Brush light
SO far is said to have the uperiority
