The Grantsville Bonanza has the fol-
lowing remarks, which apply to many
places and properties in this county also;
There are several mining properties in
Nye county on which no work has been
done for years that would we'll repay a
judicious outlay Of capital. All that is
needed is coin and skillful management
to make numbers of them dividend pay
ers. A few thousand dollars are spent
in the endeavor to develop mining prop
erty on top-and because a big
ore deposit is not struck on the surface
the mine is abandoned. Nye has suffered
as much from this cause as any county in
the State, and the end does not seem to
have even come yet. With these poorly
managed companies the mill is the first
thing in order, and when it is completed
they commence to look around for ore to
reduce. 1t is then that they find that
the mines which were to have furnished
the ore necessary are in an undeveloped
state and not capable of producing the
quantity requisite to run the mill until
considerable money is invested in sinking
and opening up levels, and, as their coir
has been run out, they close down mines
and call them worthless.

Rather Curious Law in England,

A British Member of Parliament, Mr..
Macfarlane, has been comparing some of
the sentences recently inflicted upon
offenders of various grades, and he has
reached the conclusion that, in the eyes
of British law, it is a much lighter Of
tense to kick q woman to death than to
pick her pocket. A man who kicked his
wife to death was sentenced to six weeks
hard labor, and In the month following q
man who had picked a woman's pocket
of nine shillings was sentenced to penal
servitude for ten years. Nor are these
exceptional cases. The penalty in a
case of knocking down a wife and kick
ing her sayagely in the face was three
months hard labor /; for knocking down
and kicking a woman, a fine of "a; for
trying to kill a wife with a razor, being
a second ~offense, twelve months. Against
these are set such sentences as for steal.
ing GOALS to the value of two shillings,
eight months hard labor; for stealing a
watch, five years penal servitude. 1t
would be interesting to inquire how
much of this scandalous lenieney to
brutes is due to the ancient tradition that
makes a mans wife his slave. But it
does not appear necessary that the
woman attacked should be the mans
wife in order to give him practical i'm
munity. In q case of violent assault
upon a woman in the street, the rufian
was fined forty shillings, and in another
case where three men ill-treated and
killed a they were imprisoned,
one for sixteen months andthe others for
six months, while a man who stole
a knife and some keys got five years. ALI
this seems to show that the equal pro-
lection of English law is not meant to
extend to women.-Philadelphia Times.

CONSUMPTION GAN De CURED

Dk. j. B. ScHksoKk
Dear Sirs About sixteen years ago, while living in

on gradually, beginning with a loss Of appetite and after
wards great weakness, which brought on night sweata
and a dry, hacking cough. Ny chest and back were very
weak, and SO sore that I could not bear my weight
against the back Of chair. At different times I raised

mother employed another doctor, who said that one Of
my lungs was nearly gone. ate scarcely anything for
several months, and never expected to get well. One
day, a friend who lives in Collnsville, Ct, gave my
father one Of your pamphlets on Consumption. He

A Pathological Curiosity.

According to the Presse Medicale
Beige, two united children have been
recently exhibited in Vienna which sur
pass in interest the celebrated Siamese
twins. They were horn in 1877 at La
coma, in the province of Turin. Tley
have each a well-formed head, and per-
feet arms, and a separate thorax with
perfect internal viscera. At the sixth
rib, however, they unite, and there is
but one abdomen. From behind. two
vertibral columns are seen, two sa-
crums, and three buttocks, the central
n evidently being due to the fusion
of two, and in it is a r~udimentary
anus. Each individual has power oyer
the corresponding leg and not owe
the other; thus the right leg obeys
the will of the right twin named
Baptiste, the left that of the other twin
named Jacob. Walking is therefore i'm
possible. although the legs are strong.
Each child is said to possess a distinct
moral personality. Sometimes one is
laughing when the other is crying: one
may sleep while the other is awake.
Usually the head and face of each is in
clined ~laterally, but if one is held per-
pendicularly the other becomes almost
horizontal. The condition of sensation
in the legs is not stated in the account.

saving ana Martinr Garden seeds.

Ever since I can Remember, it has
been customary 10 save some garden
seeds every year ; such as beans, peas,
melons, cucumbers, turnips and mus
tard. A few families save q great many
kinds of seeds. We should save more
seed than we do. We would know more
about our garden seeds if we raised and
saved them at home.
I will give q few hints about saving
seeds. Il has been and is yet largely
the custom of farmers wives to have
little bundles tied up in rags and little
pockets, which must all be united at
planting time to see of what kinds they
are, and all depends upon the memory
how old the seeds are. My plan is to
gather them when thoroughly ripe, put
them up in papers of suitable size, and
write on the papers the name of seed
and date of year in which they were
raised. For example, "Red-feshed
Watermelon, 1881" So soon as you
look at this label you know what is in
the paper this saves untying q dozen
bundles of various seeds. It costs next
to nothing.-J N. in Cincinnati Farm

Why / Have the Utmost Confidence In
DIR. j. II. Sehenck and His Medicines.

During the past two years, my mother and brother
have died Of Consumption. I was myself quite unweii
most Of this time, and when, shortly after their death, 1
was attacked with cough and severe hemorrhages, 1
naturally concluded that / was destined to go with the
same disease. Immediately consulted a physician, who
made a speciality of lung diseases. After examining me,
he said that he thought my lungs were sound, and that
would soon recover. In less than q week AFTER this,
T. had another severe hemorrhage. Thinking that my
physician had made a mistake in my case, I consulted
another doctor. He thought my lungs affected, and pre-
scribed for me for a long time. I got no better under his
treatment, but generally worse. Ny cough was very bad,
my appetite entirely gone. I had severe pain in my right
side, and for months I did not sleep more than two or
three hours in a night. Ny tongue was heavily coated,
and had a bad taste in my mouth. I had the headache
almost all the time.
Feeling that something must be done, I a. last con-
cluded to consult with DR.. schenck, the physician who,
I think, I have good reason to believe to be the best in
the treatment of lung disease. I went to his ONCE In
Boston, and was examined. He found my leh lung quite
badly diseased, and my liver seriously affected. he told
me that I could be cured If I would follow his directions.
OF course I consented to do so, and I very soon saw that
my confidence in his ability was we'll placed. I took the
Mandrake Pills, seaweed Tonic and Pulmonic Syrup all
at one time, as directed BY him, and in one month my
worst symptoms were gone. I went to see the Doctor on
his next visit to Boston, which was one month after the
first time 1 saw him, and he said, "Only continue with
the medicine and you will surely get WELL" did SO,
and kept on gaining in every way until was perfectly
well, and able to work rs usual. Since my recovery I
have not lost a days time, except when I have made
friendly visits to the Doctor at his Boston office. Ny
cough Is gone, my appetite is good, ! have no headache
or pain In nv side, I sleep better than I ever did in my
life, and my lungs are apparently healed, as I have ne
hemorrhAges.
These are the reasons why I believe In and
DR.. J. h. schenck and his medicines. He did just what
he said be would do for me, and I believe that I owe my
life to his medicines and care. FRED. T. TRULL

Cutting Out.

The most desperate, yet generally
successful and popular, achievements have
been those known as "cutting OUT
that is, attacks by open boat upon an
enemy's ships in an enemy's harbor,
and I may cite one as among the most
brilliant and picturesque ofthese EXPLOITS.
The small British frigate Seahorse was
blockading another frigate of about equal
size in the harbor of Porto Oaballo, on
the Spanish main. The idea of "cut-
ting out" the frigate from under the
Spanish batteries by means of his small,
open boats, manned with only one hun
dred men, inspired Captain Hamilton,
and, when communicated to the crew,
was received with three hearty cheers.
The boats, commanded by the captain
himself, left the frigate at night and
made for the harbor, not unobserved,
however, by a Spanish launch "row-
ing guard" at the entrance. This did
not. deter the gallant assailant. Two
boats proceeded to cut the cables, the
others attempted to board at different
points, two only out of the six succeed
ing at first. The Spanish crew, number
ing three hundred and sixty-ive, retired
before the headlong attack of probably
not eighty assailants, and two boats
crews remained to tow the enemy out if
captured. For some minutes the issue
was doubtful, but while the deadly
struggle proceeded below our lithesome
sailors sprang aloft like a flight of night
birds; the gaskets were cut, the sails
dropped curtain-like from the yards, the
ship gained life, and foated out like a
summer cloud or a vision amid the roar
of guns from the battery, the continued
fire of musketry, the loud curses of the
Spaniards, and the measured splash OF
the oars. When the struggle ended out
side of the harbor one hundred and
nineteen of the enemy lay stiff and
stark, ninety-seven were wounded, while
the loss of the victors was trifingl This
brilliantly successful exploit was of the
irregular and desperate kind to which
the well known saying, "C'est nagni.
tfque mails &c nest pas la gueere, would
apply, and it shows that in war not only
the chances of success, but the object to
be gained, must decide. Readers OF
naval history know that there were spec.
ial reasons why at all hazards the Her
moline should have been captured, o,
rather recaptured.-The Nineteenth Cen

The Belle of Ell Paso.

Almost every other house was a drink
ing saloon, and the whole place had an
air of dissipation which was rather more
suggestive than alluring. The worst
class of Americans come over from the
other side, preying upon the vices of the
Mexicans to their own profit, and max
ing what money they can out of their
~propensities for gambling, drinking,
and dancing. "Le DIN, le jeu, les bellies,

Save Something.

If you cannot save much, save what
you can. Don't think q dollar or O dime
is too small q sum to lay by. Every
body knows how a dollar here and a
dime there gets away with large sums,
but few seem to know that the rule will
work both ways. If q dollar here and a
dime there soon makes a large hole in a
mans income, so these dimes and dollars
laid away soon become a respectable
sum and make one independent. How
MANY times do we buy that we do not
need or could do without? Think twice
before o part with your money. Be
saving but do not be stingy. Money
spent for tobacco, whisky, etc, is more
than thrown away. Half the annoyance
and trouble in this world is due to debt.

the past, and has made me feel that I ought to acknowl-
edge with gratitude the benefit 1 once received from your
medicines.
l was q soldier in the army from 1862 to 1865. and when
mustered out was in . crippled state, having had during
my service, scurvy and camp fever, which, with the ma
laria of the swamps in which much of our operations were
carried on, ien me diseased all over. I was soon attacked
with chronic diarrhea and q constant, hacking cough.
Ny whole nervous system was completely prostrated- 1
was apparently fast approaching the grave. In looking
over the newspaper to ind something advertised that
would do me good, I found the advertisement OF yonr
medicines. Though I had but little faith, 1 bought the
Syrup and Tonic, and commenced their use. I soon
found that what you said of your medicines was true, for
they worked an entire revolution in my system-my
cough gradually grew less until it disappeared altogether,
as also did my diarrhuea and other alarm ing symptoms
and 1 was entirely cured.

A Strawberry Patch in a Barrel.

Persons who live IN cities, and only
have a small yard where the sun shines,
a have nice berries enough for family
use without being troubled by weeds.
Take ahogshead, or cask, and commence
six inches from the bottom, and with a
two-inch augur bore it full of holes six
inches apart. Then fill up by degrees
with rich dirt, and as you fill up set a
strawberry root in the dirt, with the
crown or leaves out of the augur hole,
and when it is filled to the top you can
oct q row around the top; but leave a
hollow in the center, so that when you
wish you can pour in soapsuds or liquid
manure, 70 that you can force them to
grow very large, and they will be nice
and clean. It would be more durable to
have two or three iron hoops on the
hogshead. Parsley a be raised the
