Winnemucca (Neu.) Siluer State.
A gentleman who has been engaged in
gathering statistics In Nevada for the Gov
ernment writes from Knoxville, Tenn:
aAmong the statistics was gathering In ref
erence to Phoebe is this: sPioche has the
graves OF I19 murdered mems In one row,
called Murderers' Row. Colorado claims
that the above Is incorrect and that Phoebe
has been oyerrated. Colorado claims TO
have the boss planting ground for men,"
Phoebe has been underrated rather than over
rated In this respect. THERE'S no camp that
will compare with 1t In thisrespect. During
the early days and lively times the miners
employed by several Of our companies never
thought or going to work without the six-

THE NOTE OF HAND.

Hans and Fritz were two Deutschers who
lived side by side,
Remote from the world, It's deceit and its
pride;
With their pretzeis. and beer the spare mo-
ments were spent,
And the fruits of their labors were peace and
content.
Hans purchased horse of neighbor one
day,
And, lacking part of the geld-as they say
Made call upon Fritz to solicit loan
TO help him to pay for his beautiful roam.
Fritz kindly consented the money TO lend,
And gave the required amount to his friend;
Remarking-his own simple language to
quote
"Berhaps it vas better We make Us note"
The note was drawn up In their primitive
81, Hans, get from Fritz feefty dollars to-
day.
When the question arose, the note being
made,
"vich Won holds dot baper until it vas
paid ?"
"You geers dot" say Fritz, "und den you
will know
You ows me dot money" Says Hans "Dot
ish so;
Dot makes me remember haf dot to bay,
Und prings you der note und der money
some day"
A month had expired when Hans, as agreed,
Paid back the amount, and from debt he was
freed.
Says Fritz: "Now dot settles u.s." Hans re.
plies, "Yaw;
Now who dakes dot baper according by
law?" -..
al geeps dot, now, aind't it ?" says Fritz

Says Hans: dot ish SO, 1t vas now shust sc

OLD AND YOUNG.
The Art of Making up Faces Among the
Theatrical People.
Ne,o York Sun.

Ne,o York Sun.
ssIt must be great deal oftrouble to make
up every night"
"Ah, but, my boy, look at the result! Go
down to the Thalia theatre, where they still
do 1t, and If only five years have elapsed be-
tween the acts, see how it Is shown on every
face on the stage"
at is difficult to make up well, is 1t not ?"
"Well, no." said the actor, lighting fresh
cigar and assuming more confidential pose,
"the rules are simple enough, and with a
little practice, almost any amateur could
learn to make up artistically If he has any
eye for effect. Seine parts, like Romeo,
Charles Surface, Siduey Darrell, and Claude
Melnotte, require very little make up for a
young and good. looking actor. The face and
neck should be thoroughly covered with
white powder and the cheek bones and chin
lightly touched with rouge, which should not
be too red. Then as the lover ought to look
handsome, he should draw fine black line
under his lower eye-lashes with camel's
hair brush and burnt lumber. This makes
the eyes brilliant. Pm sure 1t isn't much
trouble to make up that way"
"Other characters are harder, though ?"
"Oh, immeasurably so. But to make a
mature man, like Cassie, Iago, Mercutio,
John Mildmay, or Hawksley, it requires
only little more work. After the actor has
laid on the powder and rouged his face pretty
heavily-for men are commonly rather red
faced-he must take Ills brush and limner
and trace some lines from the outer corners
Of his eyes, and other lines down toward the
corners of the mouth from the nose. In
short, he must make the crow's-feet that are
visible in all men who have lived over thirty
years in this tantalizing world of ours. Then
the chin should be touched with a little blue
powder, which makes 1t look as If recently
shaved. These precautions will make the
juvenile face look mature. If he has to 60
farther and look like old age, as in such
characters as Lear, Virginius-for, as I said
before, Virginius was an old man-Richilieu,
Sir Peter Teazle, and so on, more work is
necessary. Heavy false eyebrows must be
pasted ON, and the eye hollow darkened and
fairly crowded with lines. Wrinkles must
be painted across the forehead, furrows down
the cheeks, downward lines from the corners
of the mouth, and every importantly three or
four heavy wrinkles painted around the neck
to give it the shriveled appearance common
to old age. The hollow over the upper lip
should be darkened, and also the hollow un-
der the lower lip. This gives the mouth the
pinched and toothless look. i little pow
dered antimony on the cheeks make them
look fallen in and shrunken. Then tone the
face down with delicate coating of pearl
powder, and you'll have as old alookingm man
as you'd care to see."
"How does it all feel?"
"At first your face feels frightened and the
muscles don't play easy, but after few
grimaces 1t comes all right. II is great re-
lief to get it off, however, after three hours
work."

A Remarkable Gas Well.
Petroleum Age.


The well finished in April last by the Nj
agara Oil Company, In Washington county,
Pa, is one Of the greatest gassers Of modern
drilling days. The sands found were not
regular, nor as expected, neither did they
appear TO be oil bearing. After six months
struggle with the drill, depth Of 2 200 feet
was reached, when vein Of gas was struck
which threw the tool clear out Of the bole,
and more than fifty feet above the top Of the
derrick. The strength of the gas can be i'm
agined when 1t Is known that the tools
weigh about 800 pounds. All work was
then out of the question, rs the gas made
such roaring noise that the driilers had to
20 away from the well full 800 yards before
being able to make themselves understood.
The company have expended already more
than Sc, 900, and have nothing to show for
their money but leases Of 60,000 acres Of
land and the great gas blower. The well is
eight miles north Of Washington, Pa, In hit.
Pleasant township. IL ID just twenty-five
miles from Pittsburg, and may be utilized
by the latter city In case the supply does not
become exhausted soon.

SOME WASHINGTON PICTURES.
Difference I'm Dress OF Republican and
Democratic congressman.

Gdlrestoa Meas tDen,.l.
The Republicans are the best dressed peo-
pie in both the Senate and House. They
have better kept boards, sleek. faces, and
look as though they have from 81 10 S. in
change in their pockets. They look as
though they think more about public mat
ters than about how to save $500 per All
mum out of S. 900 salary. They wear good
coats and polished shoes, and walk with the
air of men confident of position, and are
above making the matter of personal appear
ance subject of study. They leave external
matters to good tailors and bootmakers, pay
the bills, eat good beef and trimmings, shave
often, and have their heads shampooned so
as to quicken clear thought, and smell sweet
| to their friends and wives. Some Of the
Democrats are just as we'll kept, and glide
through the House like gentlemen. Let us
add here that dress does not make the gen.
tleman, but it attracts gentlemen, and sug-
gests clean skin. The plain Democrats
who come here from the people, glory in be-
ing shod with nail shoes and capped with
a dropping, slouch, umbrella-like hat. Do
these great fermenting minds stop to think
that the biggest brain lately in the Senate,
Roscoe Conkling, left his measure with his
tailor when boy, and never knows what be
puts on except as he receives package on
the eve of the seasons as they come Ches-
ter A. Arthur is the neatest man in Wash
ington almost, and he has some brains, too.
Abe Hewitt, Allison, Edmunds, and Randall
are wearers of good broadcloth, well cut; so
are dozens or others. Mr.. Kefer Is always
ready for day call. Vest, of Missouri, is
always in well-shaped goods, and boldly
wears gold chain around his neck heavy
enough to hold a pleasure yacht. Vice.
President David Davis is the picture of re-
spectability. Old Robson looks like an
English lord. Members. who get lodgings in
the suburbs for 81 day, two meals includ-
ed, spend the time they should be circula-
ting among their brother members in the
frequented hotels and others quarters, walk
ing TO and from their country sour milk
homes. When they get to their seats in the
Capitol they feel dull with bad stomachs,
aud hardly get to thinking before Calkns,
Reed, and other bright Republicans have
them In the nine hole.

Jimmie Mason, a resident on farm near
South Cottonwood, came to Salt Lake a
week ago. Jim doesn't come to town very
often, so when he was here he struck good
many of the boys, went through the saloons,
shooting-galleries, and generally "took in the
sights" He went home yesterday and was
met at the front door by his dad.
"Hello, James, my boy; SO you're home
at last? ?"
"Well, should smile," said Jimmie, Bit

"What kind of time did you have ?" SAID

"Had boss time. Made two dandy

Roses at New Orleans.
". 0. Conln.ercidl.

don't believe there is any region on earth
where roses grow In such abundance, varie-
ty, beauty, and sweetness as they do in the
New Orleans country. A mississippi gentle
man, to whom have been indebted for in
formation on various subjects, tells me that
there is growing and in bloom at his home
this moment a Lamarque rose vine eighty
feet long. The stem is eight inches through
in the thickest part. 1t was planted seven-
teen or eighteen years ago. 1t Is twined
around veranda, and its gorgeous clusters
of cream tinted roses are splendid to behold.
At New Orleans the Marechal Neil roses
cause the Northerner to stare In speechless
wonder. saw one of the plants that must
have been fifty feet long. have seen vines
of the same rose that long in the North, but
they were scraggy and lean looking and in
the florists greenhouses. AtNew Orleans
they run wild and revel like midsummer
nights dream. The blossoms grow In gor-
geous clusters of half dozen or more, and
the flowers are so large that they would
more than cover the top Of q large sized cof-
fee cup. A single one of the pale gold beau
ties will fill room with perfume. They
are as plenty down here as "white top in
Northern meadow. And they sell for 81 o
bud up North.
In some of the private citizens yards In
New Orleans there are as many as hun
dred different kinds of roses all In bloom at
once. They do not require protection from
cold at any time. They all stand out doors
In the open ground, and many varieties
bloom more or less all the winter through.
The rose is fayorite flower at New Orleans.
At the Jockey Club races we saw dozens of
handsomely dressed ladies with exquisite
lunches Of rosebuds at their belts and
in their dresses--the sweet, lovely flower
that nature made, mono of your abominable
artificial things.
The rose the French Inhabitants of New
Orleans are fondest Of for decoration In
called the Gold of Ophir. Northern florists
have 1t, but Il is not common. The bud 10
especially priced fer its beauty. It Is .
smalilsh rose, Of very pale pink, shading on
toward the heart In deep, rich gold color.
Faint streaks Of crimson touch the outer
petals. II Is one Of the loyeliest roses ever
saw.

For the Preservation of Wood.
The Metal Worker.

A new wood preserving process has been
invented in France by M. Jacques. He first
impregnates the timber thoroughly with q
simple solution Of soap, mixed with an acid
preferably phenic acid. This causes the
fermentation, In . few days, within the
wood, of fatty acid, which is insoluble in
water, and impregnates the remotest fbers.
The reaction of the acid on the soap does not
take place until portion Of the water has
evaporated. IL Is claimed that more perfect
impregnation can be had In this way than
with creosote, and there Is no danger Of the
washing out Of the preservative from the ex-
posed surfaces, - when suIphate Of copper
Is used. The government commission on
technical railroad operation In France Is
said to favor this process.

Myrtle McMurtry's Love.
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
"Myrtle, dear?"
eyes, George, what Is it?" replied the
girl, glancing shyly upward.
The radiant glory of a summer moon
shone down upon the earth this June night,
bathing in all Its mellow splendor the leafy
branches of the sturdy old oaks that had for
centuries shaded the entrance TO Castle
McMurtry and laughed defarce to the fierce
gales that every winter came bowling down
in all their cruel force and fury from the
moorland lying to the westward of the cas-
tie. On the edge Of the broad demesne that
stretched away to the south stood large
brindle cow, and as the moonlight flecked
with silvery lustre her starboard ribs, she
seemed to Myrtle perfect pictu re of sweet
content and almost holy calm.
ais it not beautiful night, dearest? "
murmured the girl. "See how the moon
beams Gutter down through the trees, max
ing STANCE lights and shadows that fiji. among
the shrubs and flowers in such weird, ghost
like fashion. The dell is indeed clothed in
loveliness tonight, sweetheart"
EYES," said George w. Simpson, tthis is
the boss dell" And then, looking down into
the pure, innocent face that was lifted to his,
he took in his own broad, third-base palm
the little hand that erstwhile held up Myr-
ties polonaise. As they stood there silently
in the bosky glade, George passed his arm
silently but firmly around Myrtle's waist.
The noble girl did not shy.
"Do you love me, sweetheart ?" he asked
In accents that were tremulous with tremu-
| lousness.
Myrtle head was dropping now, and the
rosy blushes Of Calumet-Avenue innocence
were chasing each other across her peachy
cheeks.
George drew her more closely to him. If
| mosquito had tried TO pass between them
then, 1t would have been bad-for the mos
quito.
"Can You doubt me, darling?" he whis-
pered.. You surely must know that love
you with wild, passionate, whoa Emma
love, that can never die. Do you not love
Lac little In return?"
For an instant the girl did not speak.
George heard the whisking Of the brindle
cows tail break in rudely upon the solemn
stiffness Of the night, and ever and anon
came the dull thud of the bullfrog as he
jumped into neighboring pond. Presently
Myrtle placed her arms about his neck, and
with wistful, baby's-got-the-cramp look in
her sweet face, she said to him: . love you,
George, with deathless devotion that will
eventually keep you broke" And with
these fateful words she adjusted her rumpled
bang and fearlessly led the way to an ice
cream lair.

POETRY.
by MAY pRoBYN.

Ever the water lily rocked
Upon the rocking stream,
Where the little clouds, reflected, fiockcl
And steered across her dream,
And ever she sighed, "why must stay
In the rivers bend from day TO day?
oh, were free to sail away,
Where the seas with wonder teemt"
II know that am fair" she said,
al watch Ii in the wave,
AT anchor here in the river-bed
That hclds me like n grave.
What good Is the suns gold light to me
Or what good living thing to be,
When none draws nigh to see
The beauty that have?"
The bird in the alder further flew,
AT the ending of his song;
The rat plunged in where the rushes grew,
And padded his way along;
The wind in the osiers stirred and sighed
That the current was swift and the world
was wide
And "away! and awayw the ripples cried,
And the river tide ran strong.
Was she happier when the stars were born,
And the bird sat mute in the tree?
When she rocked and swayed, with her ca
bles torn,
And felt that she was free?
When the banks slid backward on either
hand
For the rat had gnawed through her anchor
strand
And the wind had kissed her away from
land,
And was kissing her out TO sea.
The river-mouth was broad and black,
With currents counter-crossed,
Where the foam turned white in the eddy's
track,
And the scattered stars were lost.
No glimpse she saw of either bank,
But a waste of weed that heaved and sank,
Where from gulf TO gulf she recled and
shrank,
And from wave TO wave she tossed.
The sun uprose through glory spread,
And climbed by cloudy stair,
And "What is the thing, o sea" he said,
"Your breakers are tumbling there"
"That," said the sea, with the muddied face,
And the cup all tattered and reft of grace?
flower, they say, from some inland place,
That once on a time was fair"

Important to odd Fellows.

An important decision, and one OF great
interest to Odd Fellows, was made recently
by Justice Westbrook, of New York City,
against lodge. II was entitled the "Hud-

taken sick. His Lodge had stipulated the
sum Of the weekly benefit In Its bylaws.
This amount was paid regularly until July,
1879, when the bylaws were 50 amended
that the benefit to scarlet members was but

brought action for the additional $3 weekly.
