Editor Home Journal:
The health Of this part of the country
is good.
People here, like everywhere else,
differ in opinion in estimating the new
corn crop. One thing is sure, the crop
is not as good as we desire, but we have
concluded to take things as Providence
presents them. OF course we have
croakers here, and some are already say
ing corn will be scarce, which may, per-
chance, enhance the price Of produce
for the time being, but here, like every
where else, supply and demand will IL
nally regulate prices to suit the nccessl-
ties and wants of the consumer and pro
Queer At this time everything com
mands sremunerative prices, and those
who stir around and have something to
sell can have money. But here, like
other places, some people hang around
and wait for something to turn up, and
never turn upa dollar.
Mr.. Editor, please pardon me for a
slight alusion to myself You know
we all like to be regarded by our fellow
men as having an ordinary stock Of
brains, and |, not being an exception to
the general rule, set my best wits to
work to make myself conspicuous, that
might, through an innocent deception,
work myself up to that fame which is so
characteristic of my native county, for
we all know that 1t has produced more
smart men than any county in the
Statc-I mean representative men
Well, | knew that my ability was well
known among ! can truthtully say as
GOOD people as there are in the broad
land, and of course prophet is never
without honor, save III his own country.
So my judgment was to migrate and in
an unobtrusive manner act i'll such a
way as to make the people Of my adopt
8 ed county think that / was little ex'
Q traordinary. And now "Rustic' has

all my plans, causing me to abandon all

Trout Frozen in a Block Of Ice.

AT the Office of the Virginia City and
Gold Hill Water Company, yesterday
afternoon. was on exhibition block of
ice in which were frozen several trout.
The ice was frozen by the company's
ice machine on the Divide. The trout
were almost as plainly visible as though
they had been suspended in air. They
were in natural attitudes. and appeared
to have CONCEALED without knowing that
anything was happening to them. As
all their spots and colors were distinctly
visible, and they stood immovable with
tails and fins expanded. they would
have formed q splendid study for an
artist. Indeed, we think that there is
hint that painters of such subjects
should not neglect. Bets were made
that they would thaw Oft +" alive and

cordingly placed in tank and allowed
to melt, but at last accounts the trout
were lying on the bottom apparently
quite dead. Artificial freezing was ev.

a LESSON

One single grain OF corn took root
Beside the garden walk;
''Oh. let it STAY, said little May,
IL want it for my stalk
And there it grew until the leaves
Waved in the summer light:
All day it rocked the baby ear.
And wrapped it warm at night.
And then the yellow corn-silk came
A skein of silken thread:
1t was as pretty as the hair
Upon the baby's head.
Alas! one time. in idle mood,
May pulled the silk away,
And then forgot her treasured stalk
For many q summer day.
At last she said: +" I'm sure my corn
Is ripe enough to eat;
In even rows the kernels lie.
All white and juicy sweet
All me! they all were black and dry,
We're wlthered long ago;
y What was the naughty corn about"
She said. ITO cheat me SOL
She did not guess the silken threads
Were slender pipes to lead
The food the tasseled blossom shook
To each small kernels need.
The work her foolish fingers wrought
Was shorter than breath;
Yet every milky kernel then
Began to starve to death!
So list, my little children ALL
This simple lesson heed:
That many grief and sin has come
From one sinai |, thOughtless deed.

and l never yet saw the bride kissed,
while, on the other hand, wedding
among the whites, with its attendant
reception without kisses, would be
something so strange as to call forth
general comment. I have also heard
that Indians never kiss. Are we to sup.
pose, then, that kissing is confined to
the white race? have ALWAYS consid.
cred kissing as an aesthetic pleasure, to
be thoroughly enjoyed only by those OF
a delicate and refined temperament.
You will also find that among the
lower classes of white women kissing is
rarity.

She probably called it a kiss, and have

they were entirely ignorant of the art
of kissing. and did not know how to

however, was hardly fair case, as one
of the girls was nearer white than black.
In all my life. I have never seen two

la Concorde to the Palais de Indus
trie. On the roof of the building are
placed two Maxim arc lights, with re-
Electors, which makes the approach
through the silveredtrees of the Champs
Elysees light as day. The Palais is $50
feet long and 160 feet wide. 1t he's q
high, arched glass roof, and galleries
divided into thirty or more rooms.
The main entrances, staircases
and corridors are brightly
lighted with arc lamps. made by
Siemens, Werdemann and Fyfe. The
grand nave is brilliantly illuminated
with scores of electric lights pendent
from every available point. which are
searching as the meridian sun. Yet the
general effect is very pleasing. Forty
familiar Brush lights, driven by a single
engine, lighted up one end of the build
ing. In the center of the great hall
stands a tall lighthouse, provided with
revolving electric light, Fresners
lenses, and red, blue, green. purple and
orange glasses, which shed everywhere
professional patches of colored light.
At the base of the lighthouse is an arti-
fetal pond, surrounded by turf and
flowers, in which NJ. Trouve gayly rides
in his electric boat. Its screw is driven
by small electro motor.
One side of the building is occupied
with boilers and steam and gas engines
working swiftly a total of 1000 horse
power. which drive in front long bat
talien of dynamo-electrical machines
patterned by Grammes, Siemens, Brush
and others. Throughout the hall are
hundreds of miles of conducting wire.
The low musical hum of the machines,
the ringing of electrical bells and gongs,
the rustic and chatter of thousands of
visitors and the intense light and sparkle
of electricity make the whole scene one
of singular excitement and beauty.
The exhibits of the French occupy
one-half of the hall. those of foreign ma
tions the other half-graceful festoons
of the tri-color and other bright flags
designating the national sections. Our
hearts first turned to the Stars-and-
Stripes, where we found q neat exhibit
of delicate mechanism, in charge of a
pleasant gentleman, who seized upon
the position to acquire fluency in the
French language for further use in a
Western college.
Great Britain and Germany occupy
about equal extent, then, in order OF
size of exhibit, come Belgium, the Uni
ted States, Austria, Russia, Sweden and
Norway, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Hol-
land and Denmark. Lacquered jars for
cells and insulators are exhibited by
Japan. The objects exhibited are d.
vided into many classes; but the public
seem chiefly interested in telegraphy,
electric lights and the application Of
electricity as a motor power. The ex-
hibit of the three firms of Siemens in
England, Germany and France is great
er than that of several small nations
combined. Chicago Tribune.
