A country girl at a fashionable hotel
in New York noticed that all the guests
used their forks only in eating their
pie. Upon her return home she re-
ported the fact to the old lady, who
comforted her by observing, "You
shouldn't mind EN-, Jemima; it's all
because they're too lazy TO use their
knives"

EThey supposed Of course that she

CarSCn's Greco.

Under the above head the Gold Hill
Ne,rs has the following:
At the picnic on Sunday the Carson
ties as usual, did their utmost to get
as much from the ComstOckers for as
little value as possible. Bootblacks
raised the price of their labor from fif-
teen cents to twenty-five cents; BARRIERS
barely gave a stranger half-decent
shave for the usual price; hackmen
asked fifty cents each way to and from
Swift's springs, when the regular
springs wagon charges but fifty cents
for the round trip, bath included. To
cap all, drivers of teams charged fifty
cents to ride from the grounds to the
depot.
If such practices are INDUCED in by
a few grasping people it is a nuisance
which the people Of this city should put
a stop to. If such a policy is kept up
the time is not far distant when picnics
will let Carson severely alone. A pub
lished list of the names of those who
take advantage of strangers would have
an excellent effect.

AS the times are pretty hard now
there is good deal of talk of reducing
the County expenses. There is a gen.

THE PRESIDENT AT LONG BRANCH
He Makes the Trip at the Rate OF a
Mile Minute.
lSpHcial to the ApPXAI.I


At few minutes before & this morn
ing the President was removed from
the White House in a hammock and
placed in bed in an Adams express
wagon and driven slowly to the depot.
He was in considerable pain when be-
ing moved but the work was done so
gently that no serious consequences fol-
lowed. When finally placed in the
bed in the car he gave sigh of relief
and said 81 feel all right now" The
train then drew slowly out from the
depot and the bed was 50 nicely adj
justed with springs, water, matrass,
etc, that there was hardly a perceptible
vibration. The engineer had orders to
run the train just as the physicians
wanted it and communication was es-
tablished between the Presidents car
and the engine by means of bell cord,
one pull of the cord meaning slower
and two faster. The train started at Is
Agnew Selling the rope made sign to
the rest at which all nodded and he
pulled to increase the speed. The eff
feet was not noticeable, and as the train
swept ON the speed was gradually in
creased until it reached Philadelphia,
running at the rate OF fifty miles an
hour. 1t ran from Wilmington to Lam
akin fourteen miles in fourteen min
utes. When the President left
his pulse was ia,
but at Baltimore it was 1O5. AS
he lay in his suspended bed he did not
seem to feel the motion of the train at |
all and could look out of the window |
and see the fleeing landscape. At the |
sight Of some of the splendid scenery his
face frightened and he frequently
smiled. His spirits picked up wonder
'ully and there was a marked change
n his condition. The doctors were
very hopeful and threw out encourage
ng bulletins at the principal towns. At
80 this afternoon the train reached
long Branch and the sick man was
emovel to a cottage, which is now
,uarded by a squad of soldiers. He is
hitting the bracing sea air and said
hat the trip marked the most eventful
ay of his life since the shooting.

Singular Superstitioms.

Bill Nye, of the Laramie City Boone
rang, has been compiling a list Of super
stitions. When you come to make a
list ofthem. he says, it is wonderful how
many intelligent people are the victims
of the most unreasonable whims.
| For instance, we are acquainted with
a lady who is well educated, and far
above the average class of those who
constitute the great army of the super
| tious, who never allows breakfast to
be prepared in her house on wash-day,
of anything but giblets of Goldfish and
tit bits of superanuated grub left over
during the preceding week. Her hus-
band has struggled to convince her of the
utter absurdity of this practice, and
tried to show her that there is nothing
to it, but all his efforts have been worse
than useless.
A friend of ours too, who is college
graduate, and boots most of the follies
of the day, is still so superstitious on
one point that he is slave to his singu-
lar whim. He will not pass up the same
side of the street on which creditor of
his is coming down. He says he never
has good luck if he sees creditor over
his left shoulder, or face to face. Some
are superstitious about white horses,
owls and so forth, but this man says he
never met a creditor but right away
after that he heard of some one being
dunned.
Still another friend of ours, who comes
into the Office every few days, has a SUI
perstition that if he were to spit in the
cuspidore he wouldn't live to get home.
Some day he will find that he had
better reverse the theory, or he will
meet with the most horrible death that
has ever occurred in this region.
An old journalist we once knew was
so suspicious about railroads and differ
ent lines of transit that he wouldn't take
a journey over any railway until he had
a note from the superintendent that
could be shown to the conductor on the
way. He said he tried to make trip once
without this precaution and met with a |
terrible accident. Nobody else was hurt,
but he was thrown off the train and
over an embankment twenty-seven feet
high into frog pond eleven feet deep. |
He thinks the conductor had something |
to do with it.

An Odd Mystery.

The Post innocently remarks:
The nature of the Alta ore body is a
mystery. If the samples sent TO this
city by Derby and the Superintendent
were accurate, stock is entitled to sell
at high figures. If, on the contrary,
the samples were doctored, the stock
deserves no more attention than is be-
slowed upon the fifty-cent stocks in the
Alta group. In any exent, no matter
what the end may be, the progress of
the long drift will induce speculation.
There is no mystery in this section
about the trick of boosting up Alta
stock. If another Alta deal is foisted
in Nevada the quicker some of the
promoters leave the Comstock the bet
ter. There is limit to public patience.
