Mother Don't Know.

Walking along one of the streets of Bos-
ton, last evening, we met two plainly-dressed
boys carrying the basket of clothes which
their mother had washed. One might be
thirteen and one nine. Both were smoking.
As we said, Good evening, boys" both
put down the basket and took their cigars
from their mouths.
ave have boy about your age" ad-
dressing the elder, Z" and so we are fond of
boys"
Their faces frightened.
ave should feel badly to have him smoke
as you are doing, because we think it would
weaken his mind and his body, and you
know the mothers depend upon their boys
for very much in this world. How much
does your cigar cost you ?"
"Three cents and smoke three day."
'And that would make over thirty dollars
a year, which woul buy clothes or books.
How long have you smoked 2"
"Since | was eight, five years and
Tommy, who is nine, has smoked for a year"
"Does yonr father smoke for if he
has the habit there is little use for precept,
usually.
He is dead.'
"And what does your mother say?"
any mother" said the boy, with down
cast look, "she don't know | smoke"
A smoker for five years, carrying home
the clothes she had worked hard to wash,
deceiving her all the time, his conscience
seemed touched. We patted the delicate
looking boy on the shoulder as we said,
Remember the talk we have had," and we
went on, thinking, alas of so many moth
ers who don't know"
And why don't they know? Partly from
the mother-love that blinds them, possibly
partly from their absorption in other things
besides the immortal souls given to their
care; partly because they have failed to
keep the sympathy of their child, and partly
because they do not watch as well as pray.
Mothers "don't know what their boys aud
perhaps their girls are reading, what CONVEX
sations they are having day by day, whether
they are on the streets at night, what pro.
miscuous attentions they are receiving OF
giving and it is their business to know

THE TRIBUTE OF A TRAMP.

On recent morning an old gray-headed drunk
ard, who for years has haunted the cells OF a
station house, sprapg up suddenly as he heard
the police talking of Garfield. "Is Jim dead p

The year now closing will be men
orable in the history of our Govern

American people and shockedethe civil

person of the Nations Chief Magistrate.
The profound grief occasioned by his
suferings and death still exist among
all classes of our citizens Yet it is a
source of pride and thankfulness that,
throughout the intense excitement at
tending the attack upon the late Presi-
dent, his long and heroic struggle for
llfe, his death, and the CONSEQUENT
cnange of administration, law and order
have reigned supreme. This evidence
OF governmental strength is u matter of
especial graduation. While the citi-
zens of Nevada have not been favored
with exceptional business prosperity.
marked improvement is manifest, and
the outlook for the coming wear is
bright. AS people we have cause for
t hankfulness. - rs - - F. ss u |

state Taxes.

Yesterday, County Treasurer La
Grave sent $4,000 in gold coin to Car
son, that being an installment of the
amount Of State taxes due from this
county. This year the State tax is 80
cents on each 500 valuation, which is
80 cents more than it was last year.
Though the value of taxable property
in this county is more than it was last
year, and the rate of taxation, including
State and county, the same, the coun-
tvs proportion will not be much. if
any, more than it was a year ago, as
the county tax was then 50 05, while it
Is only 81 20 this year.-;SWrer State.

ITI6ssRe's Albany: Some singular
stories arc floating around. 1t is stated
the President has written carefully pre-
pared letter to prominent ahti-Conk-
ling citizen in Albany, in which he de-
precates the use of the New York Gus
tom House for or against the interest of
any faction. He says he appreciated the
friendly feeling which prompts the COL
lector aud his friends 10 desire to send to
the United States Senate, from New
York, representatives who are warmly
and entirely 10 sympathy with the Ad-
ministration, but does not deem it neces-
ssry to mske that issue, since he only
asks the support Of republicans, and he
believes Conkling and Plat to be true
republicans, who have nothing against
him except the matter of the collector
ship, which is now settled and thing of
the past. Especially he deems it inexpe-
dient to raise an Administration and
anti-Administrstion issue in a scram-
bling fight, where q protracted struggle
or forced compromise might tend to
iniure the Administration as much as
signal defeat. He offers as suggestion,
that it would be both mora diguifed and
advantageous to the Administration 70
give way and return Conkling and Plat,
than 20 engage in a prosrscted struggle
without beng able then to agree upon
two distinct opposition candidates. The
party and Administration, the President
thinks, have more at stake and more to
lose in this contest than any Individual.
1t is reported that Garfeld's letter is
very strong one, and has been shown to a
select few in the Administration ranks.
