THE QUARTETTE BROKEN.

While Lyon county is holding its
own in all the industrial pursuits and
gaining on the outside world to
many, loss in the matter of names
10 experienced on the assessment roll
OF this year which will sadden those
lovers of old times, habits and land
marks who ore to be found in every
community. The quartette of names
Smith. Brown, Jones and Robinson
has appeared in every cline where
the English language is spoken and
where English names are known, In
politics, religion, literature and art,
but especially in business, Smith,
Brown, Jsnes and Robinson have
always been prominent personages.

every path of life, great or small,
but more particularly has this been
the case in business directories; so
much so IN fact that the habit of see.
ing those names enrolled among bus.
mess men and property owners has
become so fixed as to become almost
q necessity. 1t was left for Lyon
county to be the first to br ,ak the
chain which has heretofore bound
them together. The assessment roll
has been turned over to the County
Auditor and the name of Jones is
wanting. Jodes as taxpayer and a
business man has vanished from the
County Records. When the promise
Of generally increasing prosperity
is considered, this should not be
taken as an omen, but merely as q
present sffllction, and In contempla-
ting our beIesvment we should be
able to more deeply and sincerely
sympathize with the people of Orms
by county In the loss of their only
Davis.

MASON AND GUITEAU's LINE

The force of example is strong
rascals and fools who desire notori-
ETY. will be prompt iu following the
copy set by Guiteau and ornamented
by Mason. They will work on the
line of sensational assassinations or
attempts marked out by Mason and
Guiteau. The public will wonder,
condemn and pity, and the courts
will release them on the ground of
insanity. Nason's absurd and COW.
ardly attempt 10 only less criminal
than Guiteau's as an example of in
subordination and unfaithfulness to
duty. He possibly knew he would
not hit the man, possibly thought he
would; in either case ii was the act
of crazy criminal who thought
much more of the notoricty to be
gained than of revenging a wrong
done upon either the President or
country. If Guiteau is to escape
suffering through due course of law,
his case would be one in which a
popular vengeance would be justified
but he should be destroyed by
rising of such numbers and power
as to give dignity to the execution,
and show that it is manifestation of
popular will. 1t should not be per-
mitted to contemplate little seek
or after cheap notoriety to rob the
American people of their just re-
venge, by giving the wretch q sud-
den and easy death; still less should
it be permitted to soldier placed
as guard over the prisoner to be-
tray his trust and bring shame upon
the army by such breach of good
faith to bis country, without severe
punishment. The punishment of
Guiteau is not for cyclists seeking
after individual fame, nor for assas-
sins who desire to shed blood under
the cloak of safety offered by public
deteststion of the victim; it is for
the law, or for the people acting as
q mass, and representing popular
will.

more curious rabbinical learning
than the mean envy of our sex will
allow them; women inheriting the
privilege from their first parent,
believing that, after a certain time
they have just right to let their
first sixteen years go for nothing,
and so they sink the preliminary
sixteen with smile, counting with
Mother Eve their seventeenth as
their real birthday. And they are
right. For it deducts from your
woman of five and forty all that she
cares to lose, giving her fair start
with Eve, and pegging her back to
full bloom nine and.twenty. And
indeed, it is impossible that any re
ally charming woman should be q
day older"

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

There is something curious about
the election of T. N. Stone as Prin.
cipal of the state University. 1t is
generally understood that Mr.. Dovey
the late incum cent, performed his
duties thoroughly, and the change
made looks as though Mr.. Stone
used his Office as Regent in a manner
net contemplated when it was es-
tablished. Mr.. Stone may be we'll
fitted for the position, but it seems
in extremely bad taste for him to use
his office in the manner which APP
pesrances indicate.

SENATOR Jones is credite

SENATOR Jones is credited
with the statement that Gen. Arthur
would refuse to act as President
should he receive request to that
effect from President Garfield, giving
as a reason that the request of itself,
would disprove the inability. 1t is
also reported that Secretary Blaine
is in possession of indisputable proof
that Gen. Arthur is not an American
citizen. and consequently is inellig-
able to hold either office. 1t may
be that Arthur, knowing that his
inelligibility can be proved, is au-
thorizing such statements as are be-
ing made for him by Senator Jones,
in order to make consistent his course
towards an avoidance of the ques-
ton of citizenship being raised
through a refusal to act as President.

Why We Commence Dinner With
Soup.

The rationale of the initial soup
has oflen been discussed. Some re
gard it as calculated to diminish di-
gestive power, on the the theory
that so much fluid taken at first di
lutes the gastric juices. But there
appears to be no foundation tor this
belief. clear soup disappears al
most Immediately after entering the
stomach, and in no way interteres
with the gastric juice, which is stor-
ed in its app opriate cells ready tor
action. The habit OF commencing
dinner with soup has, without doubt,
its origin in the fact that ailment in
this fluid form-in fact, ready digest
ed-soOn enters the blood and rapid
ly refreshes the hungry man, who
after considerable fast and much
activity, sits down with sense of
exhaustion to commence his princi-
pal meal. In two or three minutes
after he has taken a plate of good
warm soup the feeling OF exhaust
ion disappears, and irritabllity
gives way to the gradual rising sense
of good fellowship with the circle.
Some persons have the custom OF
allaying exhaustion with glass of
sherry before food-a gastronomic
no less than physiological builder,
injuring the stomach and depraving
the palate. The soup introduces at
once into the system small install
ment OF ready digested food, and
saves the short period Of time which
must be spent by the stomach in de-
irving some nutriment from solid
aliment, as well as indirectly
strengthening the organ of digestion
itself for its forthcoming duties.

THE LYNCH Investigation is turning
out to be the farce that was predicted.
The committee appointed to investigate
the case insist on conducting the inves-
tigation with closed doors and without
putting witnesses upon their oatbS.
Patrick Gardner, the principal witness
against Mr., Lynch, insists upon being
sworn and having the investigation
public that the people may see that it
is sconducted fairly. This honest, straight
forward proposition, strange to say, dot =
not strike the committee fairly, and
consequently there is a prospect that
the proposed investigation will be no
Investigation at all. A committee of
respectable business men, out of po..i-
tics, wonld find no difficulty in arriving
at the gist Of the matter, and if it is the
truth that Mr.. Lynch wants to be
brought before the public, we would ad-
wise him to ignore the Council commit
tee and ask for committee Of honest.
practical business men instead.

A. E. Blount In Germantown Telegraph.
A great stride towards successful
wheat raising was made when the drill
WAS brought into use, and much
greater stride could be made il the
Irillhoes were twice rs far part and
were made to SOW not more than thirty
or forty pounds to the acre.
In order to make the greatest posi-.
BILE quantity on given area, the wheat
plant Cor any other planD must have
room to carry out its habit and develop
according to its nature. One grain OF
wheat cannot do this on less than six
teen square inches One kernel should
make on an average all overa field at
least twenty good heads, and every
head should produce at least forty
grains. Every pound should be made
to produce its bushels all over the
world. Ono pound has been made to
produce from sixty to one thousand
fold. These facts are from thin sowing.
No instance is on record where thick
sowing ever produced more than sew
enty bushels per acre.
Sowing much wheat "to get a good
stand" is the worst kind OF economy
The farmer loses his seed, and never,
in any instance, can make as large a
yield as by thin sowing
The greatest enemy wheat has to con-
tend with-is wheat Instead of giving
each kernal about an inch square, as
most farmers do, they should in every
case reduce the quantity per acre, and
SOW thin enough to give it sixteen.
Thousands of instaLces are on record
where one grain has produced from ten
to one hundr d and eighty good stalks
and a. many heads without dividing.
Last year from seventy six kernals ten
and one-fourth pounds OF good plump
grain were raised. On fifty one square
rods this year | sowed just twenty
eight ounces Of picked seed in rows one
and two feet apart. and what | have
now to show as the product is 1871,
bushels OF as nice grain as the sample
enclosed.
To thick-sowing in every State and
locality can offer many objections, but
to thin sowing aud cultivation there is
not one that can be made tenable.

Death OF soldier and Statesman,


General Burnside United States Sena-
tor from Rhode Island, is another of the
bright and shining lights OF the present
historical epoch that death has snuffed
out for the year 1881. He died sudden
ly at his residence in Bristol, Rhode
Island, of srasms of the heart In the
57th year of his age. There are but few
men who were more conspicuously be-
fore the public since 1861 than Ambrose
Il. Burnside, and there were but few
more modest, unostentatious and more
respected than he, and his death creates
a gap in the little commonwealth OF
Rhode Island and in the Senate of the
United States that cannot be easily fill
cd.
Thus the prominent figures during
the rebellion that had lowered up
into conspicuousness from that time un-
til now, are passing away. Death re-.
spects none. 1t matter not to him
whether his victims wear the rebel gray
or the Union blue they must bow to his
mandate. Thus Lee, the great head and
front of the Confederate army, has pas
sed away, with Pembsrton, johnson
and scores Of others who fought on the
same side to keep him company in the
sleep of death. On the other side,
Grant and Sherman remain with us,
but Lincoln, Stanton, Seward, Meade,
Thomas, Hooker, Halleck, Geary, and
numbers of others of past renown,
sleep the sleep that knows no waking
until the great resurrection morn, and
pages of history, while to thousands of
other living heroes they yet live in the
fresh and green memory of the heart.
The last added to this list Of national
worthless is the polite, atfable, sensitive
and brave Burnside His name is wor
thy to occupy niche in the highest
pinacle of the temple OF fame.
General Burnside failed at Frederick
,urg in securing a victory for the Union
.rms, but his failure was one that
brought him no discredit. He took
