Into the Moods 10 DE-

On Monday forenoon, for four COR
tinuous hours, the rain poured down
in this neighborhood Just before the
storm broke Mrs. Anna Reiyea, of
Sleigbtburgli, seeing her twelve year
old adopted daughter Alice sitting
languidly in the room, screamed to
the child:
Get out of this room, you little
wretch! Why don't you go somewhere
else to lie around! Get out Of my
sight"
Tie pale, delicate child looked
meekly into her mothers eyes, and
her sad and supplicant gaze would
have turned heart Of stone. Fer a
few moments she stood in dazed
kind Of way, and then, with long
sigh of' resignation, went into an adj
joining room and threw herself on a
lounge. 4 short time afterward the
mother went into the room, but the
child was not there, and She did not
see her again entiI afternoon, when
she was borne scnseless into the house
by number Of boys. The boys had
found her lying inscnsible on a rock
in the woods. When they first saw
her they supposed she was a tramp,
and began TO pelt her with stones. On
advancing toward her, however, they
discovered who she was, and seeing
her unconscious and blue, they thought
she was dead. The boys were small,
and the sight frightened them very
much. They went for crowd of
larger bows, and they carried the APP
parcntly lifcless form to her home. 1t
was nightfall before, by rubbing and
baths and the administering of proper
atimulants, the child was restored to
consciousness, and it was many hours
before she could either speak or walk.
When she was enabled to speak she
said that feeling sad and almost for
taken, with 10 one to love her, she de-
Itermined to go into the woods and lie
down to die When she arose from
the sofa tie rain had not begun to fall,
but the sun was shining its brightest.
Wandering on through the woods, she
at length, tired and woln out, lay
down on a rock, and gradually be-
come unconscious, probably from
weakness. There she had lain in the
drenching rain for four hours, until
found by the boys. When her mo
cher asked her why it was she -hac
gone away, she answered, with tear.
in her swollen eyes:
Il thought mamma and papa didn
love me any more, and I went into The

A Business Girl.

The following "gOod enc" is told at
the expense of a dentist located not
far from Ovid. a young lady while
under the influence Of an aesthetic had
four teeth extracted. As she was a
very handsome subject" the dentist,
who was an unmarried man.. could not
resist the temptation of stealing kiss
for every tooth he extracted. The
young lady was not so much under the
influence, however, as he thought
and decided to be even with him, and
so on arising from the chair she said
she had forgotten her purse but would
sen ] the amount, two dollars, the next
day by a friend. The following day
the friend went to the Office and pre-
sented the dentist with bill from his
fair customer, in which she gave sim
credit for extracting four teeth, two
dollars, and charged one dollar each
for The four kisses, and added: Please
remit the balance, two dollars. He
paid the bill. There's business girl

Upon the question of what shall be
done with Guiteau Highland Park,
Kas., correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune makes the widest suggestion
yet. He thinks that hanging is too
good for him and imprisonment for
life is too commonplace, and none of
the usual penalties viii fit the case. So
he wants Guiteau sent up in balloon,
without valve or ballast, and left to
take his chances in the mysterious
abyss Of space with providence his. As
the crime is abnormal he thinks the
penalty should be abnormal, and a
terror to future sensational criminals.
But Guiteau, shot up by such con
trivance, would probably come down
whole, if not in his right mind, and to
rid the world of him there would likely
be several man-hunts and balloon as
eensions. Better try the Mazeppa
plan.

The AercantiIo View of rntcmporance.

In view Of if not often taken. The
Boston Daily News puts it thus:
Every business man Is interested in
the extinction of the liquor traffic;
5000, 900, 900 are spent every year in
this country for Intoxicating drink If
the liquor traffic was suppressed, this
would be spent for groceries, boots
and shoes, provisions, dry goods, etc.
The suppression Of the traffic would
therefore, be worth to other merchants
the profits on $500, 600, 900 a year
81 900, 100000. The liquor traffic re-
duees the earning power Of customers
Mcssrs. Oliver An1es u Sons found
that they produced eight per cent.
more with three hundred and seventy
five men in the year of prohibition,
than with four hundred men in the
year Of license, showing a decrease of
about fifteen per cent. in the produc-
tive power Of each in iiv:dual, and the
productive measure of mans pur-
chasing power. The liquor traffic Is
constantly destroying customers. More
than halt a million persons die every
ten years from drunkenness, most of
them adults. Every one of them Is
actually worth $500 to the merchants
of the country. Not single benefit
accruing from it offsets this showing.

derers are shot, and thieves are whipped
on the church steps. The Peruvians say,
however, that it is because the people are
Peruvians, and not criminals, that they
are punished. A band of 10 bandits were
found recently near Lima. They resisted
capture by the soldiers, but were finally
taken, and the ~brick-kiln which had served
as a bulwark against the soldiers, remains
as a monument over their last resting
place. The Peruvians say the slain men
were laborers at the brick-kiln, and
thought the Chilian soldiers were bandits,
hence their resistance. The practical
abolition OF the Provincial Government
and the seizure of the Treasury by Gen.
Lynch leaves everything in CHILEAN hands.

A Train Ditched-COnditiOn Of the
Nevada 81 Oregon Railroad.
RENO, Oct. 26.-Train No. 7 ditched 10
cars at Verdi last night. The train broke
in two and ran together. No trains de-
layed.
The Gazette to-day had interviews with
parties interested in the Nevada & Oregon
Railroad concerning the effect Of the late
difficulty on building the road. Nc
Mechan said the quarrel will not stop the
road. We want Moore to go right on, and
finish 80 miles to the Junction as o as
possible, and suppose he will. We have
done too much and spent too much money
TO stop before the road 10 finished to Ore
gon. IT will reach Goose Lake by the end
OF 1882. Nothing troubles us. Sunder-
land said the line would reach Oregon by
1882, and go via Pitt River, Goose Lake.
Col. Moore, the contractor, said there has
been no cessation in the work. The grade
has now reached Long Valley. We hope
to open the road to the Junction by Dec. l..
The financial affairs Of the company, or
the contractor, have not been disturbed in
the least. Further subscriptions were
paid in full last week. d. W. Balch was
found sitting up at his residence. He
says he Is anxious to get we'll, and when he
gets to San Francisco he will get strong
faster. We have carried q heavy load, but
have paid our men, and never stopped
work. The road will reach Honey Lake
by May next.

A Bad Typographical Error.


There ire plenty Of the " old seminary"
boys who will remember Charley Bender.
q ten-yar-old, in knickerbockers, who
went from here to California in 1862 with
his two brothers, Wilson s.. and Punch"
Bender. Charley is in business in Reno,
Nevada, now, and was the happiest man
in the State until about two weeks ago,
when he fell q yictim to a typographical
blunder Charley hit upon a scheme to
advertise his business, and told the edi-
tor Of tie Reno Gazette to announce that
he would give q special premium to the
lady exhibiting a baby at the State Fair
that most resembled her. The announce
ment appeared among the fair notes, and
read: Charles T. Bender offers a special
premium to the lady exhibiting a baby
that most resembles him." Charley was
out Of the city for several days, and when
he came back couldn't understand why the
ladies, with whom he had always been a
great favorite, looked at their noses when
they passed him, and the matter grew abb
solutely serious when a very intimate lady
friend. to whom he proffered his hand, ex-
claimed, Don't you dare to shake hands
with me, sir; you vile thingl" 1t was all
made as plain as day when Charley saw
the typographical error, and he is not to
be blamed for hunting up the editor with
his revolver.
