STRAwBERRIEs UNDER GLASS. Miss
II. b. Trimble, of West Chester, Pa,
who has been very successful In the
production of hothouse grapes for
number of years, met with the loss of
her vines last summer from the ravagcs
of the phylloxcra. With extensive
greenhouse and farming facilities at
hand, she decided to engage in the
raising of strawberries and tomatoes
during the period necessary to grow
new grape vines, and has the past win
ter been remarkably successful in her
new venture. The varieties of straw
berries selected were the Sharpless,
Charles Downing and Cumberland, the
plants being placed in boxes five or six
inches in depth, which were arranged
on the shelving Of the houses. The
tomato vines were placed on the floor
and carefully trained up the side of
the building. New York furnishes the
best market, the Strawberries bringing
an average of So per quart, while the
tomatoes averaged fifty cents per
pound. Tho prices were well main
tanned throughout the winter the
severity of the season preventing
Southern fruit getting into the market
as early as usual. II American Gentry.
CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPoSs.---
We have had occasion heretofore to
remark that carrying concealed wea-
pons is one of the most pernicious
practices that modern civilization has
developed. 1t is the caasa caasans of
perhaps three-fourths of the homicides
which stain our criminal jurisprudence.
Could legislatures and courts discover
some method by which this causeless
evil practice can be reformed, the re-
suit would be vast saving of valuable
ives to the commonwealth. A more
rigorous prosecution, the severer pun
,ishment of violators of this whole
'ome statute, would mark an era of re-
'orm, and of a more peaceful state of
iociety. If offenders in high social
position were made an example Of
we're made to know and to suffer the
terner penalties the law has provided
this dangerous practice would be-
ome much less prevalent, and homi-
ides much less frequent Judge

A PEACH KING.-T The largest
peach orchard in the world is not
in Georgia, as the papers have it,
but in Chambers county, Ala, near
the Georgia line, 1t contains two
hundred and fifty acres, and has
yielded seventy thousand dollars
worth of peaches. 1t is owned and
cultivated by Mr.. John Parnell, %
brother of the Irish agitator. He.
came to the country some ten or
twenty years ago, and bought an
old worn-out cotton farm which he
has converted into this immense
peach orchard, and is always the
first to have early peaches on the
market, for which he receives al
most fabulous prices, He is getting
immensely wealthy at the business.

A DOG PENsIONED.

A dog has been pensioned in New
Mexico. 1t CHANGED that the dog in ques-
ton, on returning Of an evening with his
sheep to tho fold, discovered that his
master was not stirring about, but re-
manned inside the shanty and kept very
quiet. Tho next evening it was the same
The dog, when he penned up the sheep,
repaired to the shanty, smelled through
the crack in the door his masters pres
ence, but the man was still quiet and did
not breathe. The dog scratched, barked
and even howled, but no response came
from within. The door remained closed;
no smoke rose from the chimney to greet
the early morn. But the dog, true to his
appointed duty, went out with the sheep
the third day and cared for them while
they cropped the heritage on the hillside.
But he was getting hungry, and that
night, when he drove the flock into the
pen, the last one to attempt to go in be.
came the victim to his appetite. This
method Of providing for his own wants
becams. the portion of the dogs daily
duty. Every evening the last sheep to
try to enter the fold was seized by him
and served for supper, and breakfast and
dinner the following day. As stated be-
fore, the ranch to which the dog belonged
was in solitary part of the Territory,
and out Of the track Of travel.
For years two from the time of the
masters death-as ascertained by data
left by the latter-the faithful dog tended
the flock committed to his charge, and
had fresh mutton for supper every night.
The flock was not decimated by this draft
upon its resources. On the contrary, it
increased in numbers, and when, at the
end of two years from the time of the
death of the proprietor, the ranch was
visited and the remains of the poor fellow
found, the dog was still on duty, jeal.
ously guarding the flock, and driving
them to the best pastures every day and
to the fold at night. before which he
slept, to keep the wild sheep-eaters of the
plains at civil distance. Such fidelity
excited admiration wherever the story
was told, and the American legislators Of
the Territory, in fit of generosity and
enthusiasm Of their session two years ago,
granted pension for life to that dog, to
be paid from the State treasury, as a re-
ward for his fidelity, and no doubt as an
encouragement to all other shepherd dogs
in that Territory to be good dogs and
faithful. --[Binghampton Democrat.

The English system Of regulation by
railway commissioners works excellently.
The best proof Of this is the fact that
now few complaints are made before it.
The existence of such tribunal and the
knowledge Of its powers, remove the
causes of complaint. 1t makes justice
prompt and cheap, and brings it near to
the people and to business men; and it is
found that such commission 10 better
fitted than the courts of law to deal with
questions that arise between shippers and
railways, or between different companies.
Every State should, in our opinion, have
tribunal Of this kind; and if it 10 i'm
possible in this Union that such a
commission should do its work, because
Of the extent Of the evil to be remedied,
or because Of the aggregate wealth op.
posed to the redress Of abuses, this shows
that in that State good government has
become impossible, and that self govern
ment there is = failure. We cannot be-
lieve that this is true Of any State.

NEVADA WARFARE There are hun.

ada free and not afraid Of the law who
ought to have been in the State Prison
long ago and destined to remain there,
or who ought to be filing murderers'
graves. There is one young man-Al-
fred Chartz-who ought never to have
been sent to the State Prison, and has
yet been kept there three years, and will
be kept there longer, for the Board of
Pardons has just refused to release him.
The case is one which has excited much
attention, not only in Nevada. but in
California. Unfortunately the prisoner
has for a friend one of the leading editors
Of the State, and therefore politicians are
afforded fine opportunity Of hitting the
editor over Chartz's shoulder by keeping
the latter in prison. It is cowsrdly,

PIUTE CENSUS TAKERS.
tSilver Stated


Captain Dave, or Chief Numana, as
the Indians call him, is here, taking the
census Of his tribe, having been appoint.
ed Census Supervisor, by Major Powell,
Of the Indian Department. He has com.
pleted the census of the Austin Piutes,
having found 205 members of his tribe in
Austin and vicinity. He has dispatched
enumerators north and south from this
place, to ascertain the number of Indians
about Fort McDermit, Paradise Valley
and Pleasant Valley. His return sheets
are rather novel, and differ considerably
from those used by the whites. On
sheet Of blank paper, he makes a circle,
which, he says, represents wigwam or
camp. Within the circle, he makes fig
ures to represent the number of persons
in the family. The sexes are designated
so that none can mistake them, the
squaws being adorned with lines to rep.
resent gowns, while the lower extremi.
ties of the bucks are left naked. The
figures are of various sizes to represent
grown persons, youths and children.
When sheet is filled with these hero.
glyphics, the Supervisor takes willow
sticks, from.two to four inches in length,
with which he keeps record of the num-
Der on the sheet. A full length stick
represents full grown man or woman,
the sexes being designated by notch
on those representing the women.
The shorter sizes are used to designate
the size of the young Indians. When
the census of locality is taken the bun.
dies of sticks representing the number of
Piutes in place and their size and sex,
are tied up separately. In this way, an
accurate census Of the Piute tribe in this
part Of Nevada is being taken, and, to
the Indian, the papers with circles
marked on them and the bundles of
sticks are as iatelligible as the printed
circulars of the Census Bureau are to the
whites.

THE COMPILED LAWS.

The Reno Journal says the Legislature
should be called upon this session to au.
thorize the printing Of revised edition
Of the compiled laws Of Nevada, as the
present one is exhausted and fast wearing
out The Gold Hill News correctly en-.
dorses the proposition as follows !: "a re-
vised edition is much needed, with a
number Of improvements. Yes, and
should the proposition be acted upon
by the present Legislature, it is to be
hoped that the picayunish, narrow
minded policy adopted by our present
State officials in that respect will be
avoided, and copies Of the revised COM
pilation sent. free of cost, to every news
paper Office in the State. The first
shadowing forth and shaping Of new laws
is Through the newspapers, and the dis
cussion of their merits and dement's,
through the newspapers, determines to a
very great extent their adoption or rejec-
ton in tho Legislature. All laws are in
tended for the public use and benefit,
and scarcely dfy passes that the COM
petent journalist is not called upon to ex-
press opinions that should be in conso-
nance with the laws of the State, or is re-
ferred to as authority in such matters.
In his efforts to run the people on legal
basis, SO to speak, and to advocate and
support the majesty of the law, every
newspaper editor well earns, really needs
and is entitled to the latest publication
or revision of those laws. State officers
who do not appreciate this idea are sim
ply. stupid and inefficient, or need in
struction. Let's have revised compila.
ton Of the State laws forthwith and by
the most competent legal ability and au.
thority."

ing romance than is found in the follow
ing story, that comes from Wales :
"Years ago some Welsh miners, in ex-
ploring an old pit that had long been
closed, found the body of young man
dressed in fashion long out of date.
The peculiar action of the air of the mine
had been such as to preserve the body so
perfectly that it appeared asleep rather
than dead. The miners were puzzled at
this circumstance; no one in the district
had been missed within their remem-
brance, and at last it was resolved to
bring the Oldest inhabitsnt-an old lady
past her eightieth year, who had lived
single in the village the whole Of her life.
On being brought into the presence of
the body strange scene occurred; the
old lady fell on the corpse, kissed and
addressed it by every term of loving en-
dearment, couched in the language of a
by-gone generation. He was her only
love; she knew that he had not forsaken
her. The old woman and the young man
had been betrothed sixty years before.
The lover had disappeared mysteriously,
and she had kept faithful during that
long interval. Time had stood still with
the dead man, but had left its mark on
the living woman. The miners who were
present were rough set, but very gentle,
and, with fearful eyes, they removed the
lady to her house, and the same night
her faithful spirit rejoined that of her
long.lost lover.-fExchange.
