HERBERT SPENCER, in his recent
speech at a farewell banquet given to
him at Delmonico's on the eve of his
departure from New York, spoke EN-.
phaticaliy of what we all know TO be
true--that Americans work too much
That this excessive habit not only pro-
duces premature old age, it Injuries
posterity. He says that tins habit of
overwork destroys what value there
would other wise be in the leisure part
of life." This latter is the most philo-
sophie reason he assigns. The leisure
of the business man is his salvation
physically, morally and intellectually.
But Mr.. Spencer, with all his philoso
did not quite master his theme. 1t is
not SO much the excessive work
whether mental or physical, that pro
duces harm, i. is in the want of meth
cd in work. The human mind, at veil
as the human body, is capable of a.
most unlimited labor, provided such
labor be systematic, and that when
work is done, however long continued
or laborious, there may be an equal
degree of method in his rest. Those
men, whether American or otherwise,
who become remarkable for the
amount of work perform ed and re
markable results achieved, are equally
noted for their systematic lives.
1t is true beyond any peradventure
labor must be alternative with rest and
leisure, and there is no occupation in
the lives of Americans which affords so
valuable an opportunity for alternative
labor, study, leisure and recreation as
that Of farming. This opportunity,
however, never comes to him unless
he attain it by methodical course of
life. Many bright intellect is founder
| ed upon the rock disorder. Just SO,
many y farmer is failure because he
has no method in his farming. If he
would follow the best type possible,
that OF nature, his life would be the
embodiment of system itself Seed
time and harvest socceed each other
| in regular order; it should be the
most natural thing in the world for the
farmer to take pattern thereby, snd let
the work of his life alternate in regular
order. The soil is methodical IN It's
products; the farmer should be equally
so in the adoption of kinds of seed to
quality of soil.-Ndtiondl Farmer

Hill, will appear at the Eureka, Opera
House on Saturday evening, Feb. Is.
II was the original intention to give the
first representation Of Miss Chester" on
Ruby Hill, but the stage at Miners Union
Hall was found too small to do justice to
the play; hence the change. The piece TO

modern society dramas, Is intensely alb
sorbing in plot and forcible In language.
II portrays wicked and noble natures with
q power that cannot fail to keep an audi
enco interested from the rise OF the curtain

the experienced care and direction Of Mrs.
Walters, have already become proficient In
their various roles, and surprised the lady
with their aptitude and dramatic talent.
II Will therefore be a treat to see the anna

The price OF admission will be 81, and no

He Expresses Confidence In tn
Future of tEe hattie BOrn.'

Future of tiso Battle Born"
The New York Tribune man made Gov
ernor Kinkead talk to him as follows:
The present trouble with Nevada is
that all its interests nave been conferred on
one mine-the Comstork. A few men have
stepped in and made millions out Of it,
and thousands OF others have made moth
ing. But the Comstock isn't all of Ne
vada, by a good deal.
Nevada does't depend or its gold and
silver, abundant as they are. 1t is rich
in coal, Iron, salt, nitrate Of soda, borax
and sulphur. A country that has got all
these things waiting for the hand OF man
to develop them need have no fear for the
future.
Transportation is so high now that i'm
migrants are frightened away, and settle
in the adjoining States and Territories.
Then, too, we need railroads to bring our
productions to market, and to tempt our
rich men to live in the State. / am glad
to say that this need ia being met. The
Carson and Colorado Railroad is now be-
ing completed and will open up several
rich mining districts that could not other
wise be made to pay. When the State is
covered with a network Of railroads, then
NC may expect to see populous towns and
cities spring mp.
Nevada is destined TO be one Of the
richest mining countries In the world. 1t
needs money to develop it, aud men who
are willing to work. No drones need APP
ply. If we get the right kind Of men and
the money, our future will be secure. /
may say a word about our financial condi-
ton. 1t has been represented that we are
bankrupt; that is a strange and absurd
Misrepresentation. Nevada does not Owe
a dollar in the world, except to her own
school children. Her resources are ample
for her support, and she can meet all her
liabilities when they mature. Our fate
does not hang on the Comstock mines, as
many people seem to suppose.

This comedy will be presented by the
Eureka amateurs at the Opera House on
Saturday evening. Although the troupe
is essentially a new one, only Messrs. Van
derlieth, Robinson and Allen OF the old
club remaining, the cast Of the piece is in
good hands. Particularly is this the case
on the part Of the ladies, all OF whom. with
but one exception, we believe, will make
their debut on the dramatic stage on Sat
urday evening. The exception is Miss
Sallie Vance, who, several years ago, while
on a visit TO Eureka, appeared with marked
success In the cantata Of Esther" Miss
Vance has the leading ladies' role. a spark
ling. vivacious part, and the young lady
will no doubt give II a proper i~nterpreta-
ton. Miss Jennie Wethered assumes the
part OF q fashionable young wife, is sup
posed to dress elegantly, fall in love with
the hero Of the piece and receive his pas
sionate kisses. Miss Margaret Wethered
fills the place formerly occupied by Miss
Daisy Wendell, and it is surprising what
an acceptable old lady a young lady can
make. Miss Alexander will be q charming
widow and Miss Olsen q manageable wat
eripg-place belle. Among the gentlemen
we fud Messrs. Allen, Baily. vanderlieth,
Robinson, Batchelder, Hall and DR..

THE ALTA BREAK.
An Explanation of the Cause OF
the Decline.

nv
Virginia Chronicle.
Alta stock has declined 81 so per share
within the past five days. In view OF the
favorable prospecting operations now in
in the mine, this break has ex-
cited general comment, and has been gen.
orally attributed to manipulations by the
bear interest in San Francisco. The real
cause OF the decline is undoubtedly q ru-
NOR current on the streets that work will
be suspended on the group Of southend
mines north of Alta, comprising Belcher,
Grown Point, Overman, Caledonia and
the Forman shaft. Advantage has been
taken Of this rumor to circulate the re-
port that il these mines were shut down
the Alta would be flooded and the stock
become worthless. As a matter OF fact,
the Alta workings have n connections
with any OF the mines north. As proof
of this it is sufficient to state that the
water in the Alta incline has been 300 feet
deep for the past year up to two weeks
ago, when the east drift on the 2l50 level
entered the casing Of the old Justice ledge
and cut a small stream OF water, which
evidently has connection with the in
cline, as the body of water in the latter
has already receded 81 feet. If all OF the
n~eighboring mines were to be shut down
and flooded to the tops of their shafts the
working Of Alta would not be at all affected.
