Some of Our BOYS.

A lady teacher of over twenty
years. experience was last night un-
der examin alton by the Board of Ed
ucuation upon the charge of having
pulled the ears and hair of pupils.
A large number of boys-the pupils
were in attendance. Their be-
havior was exceedingly bad. They
were for while in an adjoining
reom to that which the Board was
occupying, but were so noisy and
uncomfortable that they were turned
out into the corridor. There they
behaved even worse. The impress
sion they gave impartial hearers and
observers was that some OF them
not only deserved having their hair
and ears pulled but their backs
broken. 1t was not at all pleasant
display OF the manners learned or,
at least, tolerated in the public
schools. The youngsters were, in
their demeanor, a mere crowd of
hcodlums, II such is the result of
the mild discipline upon which the
tender conscience of the parent in
sists, the sooner that conscience be-
comes somewhat indurated, the bet.
ter for the boys, their teachers, and
the community at large. There are
some boys who are not to be touch
ed by Kindness; who have not a
spark of chivalry in their compost
ton, who sneer at honor and de-
light only in ''getting the best" of
somebody. OFF such pupils as these
the fine theories of the modern pro-
fessional pedagogue roll like water
from a ducks back. They want the
curb and the whip, or else they will
run away with themselves and
wreck their own happiness and use
fulness and the hopes of their par
enls and friends.-Stock Report.

THE MUSSEL SLOUGH SET.
TIERS.

The Mussel Slough settlers are re-
ceiying great deal of sympathy
which they probably do not deserve.
There may have been among them
some innocent holders, but it low
appears that most of them knew
that the roilroad company had a
legal claim upon the land before
they entered upon it. The law having
given the land to the railroad it is
not the province of good citizens to
sympathize with those who are
placing themselves in opposition to
the civil authorities. There is no
doubt that the Central Pacific com
pany is as grasping corporation as
exists in the world. No one &C
quainted with its methods of doing
business in this State will be disposed
TO credit 1t with any generous mo-
tives, or to doubt that any land or
chattles upon which it can place a
legal claim will be held with the ut
most tenacity; but the fact that it Is
a corporation, and mean corpora
ton, does not deprive it of its legal
rights, and the government is bound
to protect these rights as long as
they exist. 1t is unfortunate that
this company should own So much
of the valuable land of California,
but it does own it and must be srs.
tanned in its ownership. Those in
sympathy with foreign Lind Leagues
and other movements of a similar
nature would like to see the settlers
triumph, as it would establish prec-
edent, but although the Central Pa
cifc has not many friends the people
will not allow their rights of prop
erty to be infringed. Every man or
corporation in America has a right to
the use and benefit of his or its
property, and no European notions
OF community of land will be toler-
ated. If few lawless jumpers who
depend for success upon the unpop-
ular character of the legal owners
are permitted to obstruct officers in
the performance of their duty it will
not be long before they will extend
their operations, and no one would
be secure in the possession of any
Thing, unless strong enough to de-
fend his rights personally.

The Amended Mining Law.

The Act passed by Congress last
January, says an exchang, does not
enlarge the amount of labor to be
performed on a mining claim, but
fixes the time during which it is to
be done. The object in passing this
law was to establish uniform time
within which the annual labor shall
be performed. The law says: "rhe
period in which the annual labor
shall be performed shall commence
on the first day OF January succeed
ing the date of location, etc." II
must be observed that it is the peri
cd of a term which begins the first
of Januaay, and not the work. In
other words, if claim is located
September 20, 1880, you have from
the first of January to the thirty
first day OF December, 1881 in which
to do your work. Instead of com
mencing your work on the first day
OF January, you may do it in May
or June, July or August. You have
the whole year in which to do it,.
Anyone who will take the trouble to
read the law cannot go wrong.
1t does not say you shall per.
form your labor in January,
but says that during the year which

WOOD RIVER.

The reports from Wood River are
conflicting, but the majority of those
writing back to their friends appear
to have been disappointed A few
letters are still seen in which the
prospects of the country are spoken
of glowingly, but the chances are
that the place has been over rated
Tho country is still covered with
snow and it is strange how the nu-
merous lodges can be seen.
Those who wish to go and take
their chances have right to do as
they please, but they should not go
with the expectation of getting work
unless they have money enough to
support them until the snow goes off
and capital takes hold of and works
the mines, or they will have a hard
time this Summer. 1t is a question
Wnetner mostOI the brilliant accounts
of the immense wealth of the Wood
River country were not told in the
interest of stage companies. AL
though an idea that the rush has
been over done has been gaining
ground for some time, and the ex-
citement was abating somewhat in
consequence, the outbreak of the
Indians will give it fresh impetus.
1t is a popularity of the average
prospector and miner to associate
rich mines with difficulties of access,
and now that there are Indian troubles
in addition to snow and other natu-
raj drawbacks, anxiety to reach the
promised land will be heightened.

THEY have smallpox in Victo-
Socialism and Nihilism.

The difference between socialism
and nihilism was explained the 9th
er day to reporter of the Louis
Vile Courier-Journal by Louis Vier-
eek, a socialist editor, from Leipsic,
Germany. He said: "In Russia
there are three factions of so called
nihilists. One of these aim at con
stitutional monarchy and free suf-
frage. The second aims at social
istic republic, and corresponds to
the socialists of Germany. The 9th
er faction is composed of anarchists
who are against all government, and
would destroy everything. The an
archists are the assassins. There
are anarchists in Germany, but they
are excluded from the socialistiC
party. Justus Schwsb and Hassel-
mann of New York and Most,
whose paper was. suppressed in Lon
don recently, are anarchists, and
have been excluded from the social.
istic party. The socialists believe
they can accomplish their objects
peaceably, and are opposed to vic
lence.o

proposition may be summed up as
follows:
For the successful treatment of
small-po four things are requisite,
viz. First, we'll ventilated rooms;
second, good and faithful nurses
third, good, nourishing food; fourth,
confidence in the restorative power
of nature"
Ladies paste this OF your looking
glass, but if you should have a bad
cold or feel little bilious, don't be
frightened into thinking you have
the smallpox.

MiddIe-Aged Men.

There are many at the age OF thirty to sixty
who are troubled with too frequent ovacua-
ton of the BLADDER, often accompanied by q
slight smarting or burning sensation and q
weakening of the system in manner the
patient cannot account for. On examining
the urinary deposits q ropy sediment will
often be found, and sometimes small PARTICLES
OF albumen will appear, or the color will be
of q thin milkish hue, again changing to a
dark and torpid appearance. There are many
men who die of this difficulty, ignorant OF
the cause, which is the second stage Of semi
nal weakness. Dr. S. will guarantee perfect
cure in all such cases, and healthy restoror-
alton of the genito-urinsry organs.

you shall do it shall commence on
the first of January. Now you can
perform your work at any time du-
ring that year. Another misappre-
hension which prevails among many
miners is founded on the sinking of
a discovery shaft. The sinking of
a discovery shaft Is not annual labor.
You are required to perform 500
worth of work each year on your
mine. Now you cannot have your
mine without first sinking your ten
foot discovery shaft. After you have
discovered the mine, located and re-
corded it, then the mine becomes
subject to the requirements of annu-
al labor, and not before.

The Gold Hill News thus condenses
some small pox instructions given by
physician of experience:
"Small pox is the result of a spe
cifc poison of the blood, and this
poison seeks elimination chiefly
through the pores of the skin, con-
sequently the disease spends its force
principally upon the external surface
Of the body, hence all treatment
tending to divert any part of lis
course toward any other functions of
the body is obviously wrong. The
oh, ect should be first to ascertain the
character aud natural course OF the
disease and then assist nature to re-
move it.
Treatment-Place the patient in a
room that can be thoroughly Yenti-
lated {; administer thorough cnthar.
tic and after that continue the use of
a sedative mixture composed of syr-
up of ipecac, tinctur. asclepias root,
and tincture veratrum vividum one
half ounce Of each, with peppermint
water and pure water, two ounces
each. Give a teaspoontul every two
| or three hours to control the fever
till the eruption appears, then one
every six or eight hours, according
to the degree of the fever.
The most important portion of the
treatment is attention to the skin.
After tie appearance of the eruption
the entire body should be sponged
night aud morning with tepid water
in which soda is dissolved, about a
tablespoonful to the quart, using
CASTLE soap. After each sponging,
smear the whole body with following
ointment: Pulverized charcoal, one
drachm; fresh lard two ounces; oil
bergamot, one drachm. This, prop
erly applied, soothes, softens and
protects the skin and effectually pre-
vents pitting. The cutaneous sur
sace should be protected as much as
possible from the direct rays of light
and a plentiful supply of fresh air
supplied to the patient.
The diet should he light and nour-
ishing, such as sweet milk, butter
milk, raw eggs beaten up With some
light wine, raw oysters, fresh bread,
fruit, beef tea, etc. la the GONZALES.
cent stages stronger food, beefsteak
fresh fish, etc, is allowable.
If the above treatment is strict 2
followed no secondary fever need be
! feared the disease will run its course
of eighteen or twenty days, and the
patient will recover from the disease
with no permanent sign or mark of
its ravSges. 1t is true that this mode
of treatment makes more work for
the nurses and attendants than the
ordinary practice, but the result will
justify the means, for in this disease
specifics are myths and medicine al
most valueless; therefore, if we
would save our patients il must be
done by strict and careful attention
and genuine hard work. The whole

Our local prophecies NJ

Our local prophecies Mrs
Bowers, is losing an opportunity OF
distinguishing herself and setting
at ease the minds of her friends
Instead of combining herself to tri-
fling sublunary affairs, such as fore
telling the discovery of bonanzas,
and the finding of lost ear rings, she
should consult her oracle and tell us
how things will be on the 10th day
of June, when the hardest pull will
be made by the planets. A little
comforting soothsaying would be a
great blessing at pre- sent, and if the
worst is to be expected it would be a
convenience to know it, as being
warned in time our people could get
out of stocks and have their houses
IN order.
