Uncle Sans Profits.

Since the treasury department at
Washington has decided not to receive
in future silver of any denomination
that is in the slightest degree defaced OF
mutilated, the greatest caution is now
exercised by the various sub-treasuries
in redCeming either standard dollars OF
fractional currency. The sub-treasury
at Baltimore had no less than $40 of
this kind Of money returned last week.
OF course, the clerk who received the
money will be compelled to replace
this with other money. And here the
great injustice of the government is
made apparent; for, while it will not
receive the money it has issued, and
upon which it has placed fictitious
value, the public is expected to get rid
of it as best it can, or else sell it to the
government at its value as bullion. AS
dollar in fractional currency contains
no more than about 388 grains, the
real value Of which is about IS cents
and the standard dollar with its Az
grains is worth only IS cents, the loss
to the holder and the profit to the gov.
eminent can be readily seen. In &C.
cordance with the decision of the de.
partment, an accidental scratch with a
pin across silver dollar reduces its
value from 81 to IS cents.

A suggestion for hoarseness worthy
Of trial IS the use of common horse
radish prepared in sugar-one part to

LYON COUNTY TIMES.
OFFICIAL PAPER OF LYON COUNTY
JOHN NJ. CAMPBELL.
TERMS:
The Difference.

Suppose a young man was sent to
iail for crime in which he was less
than half the criminal, and being re-
leased in due time, came out in the
world determined that his future life
would be as immaculate as a mans
lite can. Suppose this young man
found employment, and every day,
as he strove to fulfil his duty and
redeem himself, his employer came
to him and said: "You're doing
pretty well, but you're thief you
know, and must remember it,"
How long would it be before the
poor wretch, haunted by his crime
beyond escape, would throw up
every effort at redemption in despair?
Yet that is the treatment women
meet al the hands Of charity. The
story OF her life is constantly held
up before her; her fault is required
to be expiated by perpetual, ostenta-
tious repentance. If she goes into
some so called home, she remains
there prisoner, watched night and
day-caIled to copious prayers for
herself more frequently than to
meals-kept at work IN all her spare
houIs-housed at night with others
like herself No relief comos to her
meloncholly life, no distraction turns
her thoughts from the memory of
her sin. The grim monotony OF her
existence stiles sli the good in her.
She riots in the company Of her com
panious in the mental enjoyment Of
the life from which she once hoped
to be- rescued. ON die here" she
thinks, and / might as well have
some pleasure out Of life, tor, at the
worst, can only die.
Or, if she finds a future of hope
without incarcersting herself, it Is
only to be haunted by perpetual
terror of discovery No matter how
Immaculate her carriage may be-no
matter how great and deserved the
consideration she enjoys-let but a
hint at her hardened past go forth
aud she is doomed. Society has no
room for any new Magdalens. Wo
met may give thousands to the
heather, and caress the red hand of
the assassin pityIngly, but the touch
of her tainted sister contaminates
her, and she has as little bounty as
pity for her. Her efforts in her own
behalf appeal to no merciful senti-
ment, arouse no generous impulse
which would encourage her upon
her weary upward way. On the con.
trary, the hand that should aid her
is the first to be raised to drag her
down and hurl her back into the
mire.
No man or woman soever good
their intentions may be, can retrieve
errors which they cannot gain for
giveness tor. Sooner or later they
must become embittered against the
repentance which exposes them to
misery, besides which the hollow
pleasures they have tried to turn
their backs on become real and IN
viting. Both futures are dreary
ones to eyes tempered by a sense of
wrong; but when the path to one is
hghtless and forbidding, the other is
bright with present gayety, in whose
glamor the blackness it leads to is
lost.

LONGETITY OF MUSICIANS,

The notion is generally received that
musicians are short lived. The early
death of many famous musicians, such
as Mozart, Schubert, Mendclssohn,
Chopin, Bellini, Bizet and Sclluman,
have given rise to popular idea that
music and long life are opposed. But.
in fact, the prepondcrance of evidence i,
on the other side. Of the ca lier must.
clans Bach, Handel and Haydn were
all long lived. Beethoven was more
than &c at the time of his death. CAer-
bini lived to see his 81st birthday.
Many of the greatest living -pusicians
are old men. Hubert Re is 70 !;
Franz Lachner and Sir Julius Benedict
are IT; Heinrich Herr is is; Sir Micha
Costa, IgnatZ Lachner and Tichutschek
are IA; Erthel, and Haupt, the famous
organist, are II; Ferdinand Hitler, List,
Kucken, Taubert and Amhrosia Thomas
are 10; Flotow is 60; Wasn is 6 !;
Henselt and Verdi are CT; Robert
Franz, Stephen Heller and Yolckmaun
are Sc; Gade and Sivor: arc CT; Con.
nod, Gumbert, Kullak and L.to!ft are
So; Abt, Leonard and Clara Schu,
mann are 81. The fact that l,y far the
greater number of distinguished living
musicians are men Of so years II over
is enough to show that the iiea 1 mu

PROTECT THE FORESTS.

Those who have read the late census
reports Of the rapid destruction of the
timber in the great numbering districts,
and note on the maps the location of
forests distant from navigable streams,
will see at O glance that in the near fu.
ture lumber must largely increase in
value from necessary increase of cost in
procuring it. Men raised in woody
countries seem to cultivate an enmity to
trees and the destruction from the az,
from carelessness and from fires can
scarcely be overestimated. 1t has been
tho history of the West and Northwest.
There are millions of acres which have
been denuded of their forests to mako
way for farms, where to-day single trees
that were then sacrificed would sell for
more money than any acre of tho
ground. 1t may be said that this was q
necessity, which is doubtless true to a
certain extent; but that necessity does
not continue The man who owns forest
should guard it and reasonably expect in
the future q rich reward for his care. 1t
would seem as if the time had arrived
when the United States should initiate
something of the wisdom of the German
empire in protecting its timber, and, as
we'll, 1cplanting large districts not other
wise used. Germ any has acted far more
wisely in this matter than other European
countries. Italy, Spain, Austria and
Russia have allowed the destruction of
millions of acres of as fine forests aa
ever grew, aud are now paying tho pen.
atty of gathering their lumber from
mountains and plac difficult to reach,
or importing from other more favored
| countries. The Gulf States and Oregon
and lis adjacent Territories are yet rich
in fine timber. That there should be
some sure means of protecting it from
needless ravage and destruction no
thinking man can doubt.-Lnter Ocean.

The following comes from Georgia,
and its accuracy is vouched for by the
stenographer who took it down:
Judge - was noted for the way he
got mixed in his charges to the jury.
On one occasion case was tried before
him, the points Of which may be briefly
stated thus Smith brought suit against
Jones upon a promissory note given for
horse. Jones defense was failure Of
consideration, he averring that at the
time Of the purchase the horse had the
CHAMBERS, Of which he died, and that
Smith knew il Smith replied that the
horse did not have the CHAMBERS but the
distemper. and that Jones knew it when
he bought.
The Judge charged the jury: Seen
tlemen OF the jury, pay attention to the
charge Of the court You have already
made one mis-trial Of this case because
you did not pay attention to the charge
of the court, and don't want you to do
1t again. intend to make it so clear to
you this time that you cannot possibly
make any mistake. This suit is upon q
note given for o prom issory horse. /
hope you understand that. Now, if you
find that at the time Of the sale Smith
had the CHAMBERS, and Jones knew it.
Jones cannot recover. That is clear,
gentlemen. will state it again. II you
find that at the time Of the sale Jones
had the distemper, aud Smith knew it,
then Smith cannot possibly recover.
But, gentlemen, I will state it third
time, SO that you cannot possibly make
| a mistake. If ut the time of the sale
Smith had the CHAMBERS, and Jones had
the distemper, and the horse knew it,
then neither Smith, Jones nor the horse
can recover. Let the record be given
to the jury. "-Harper's Magazine.

As too often the case. it may be traced
directly to the ladies of their respective
households. Gen. Johnston's wife was
Miss Lille McLane, of Baltimore, q lady
of great beauty and commanding pres
ence, and III her veins coursed the very
bluest blood of old Maryland, while her
husband belonged to one of Virginia's
best old families. They were young and
rich. He was Quartermaster General
of the United States, and they were very
naturally the toast in Washington. On
the other hand, Mr.. Davis had married
q second time (his first wife being Il
daughter OF Gen. Taylor; this time his
wife being Miss Earina Howell, of
Natchez, Miss. They were married in
chat city. She was a brunette, with
dark, fine eyes, was very Spanish-Iook-
ing, and she was enormously rich, being
the daughter of a merchant of that city;
but social history says nothing of her
pedigree. She was the wife of United
States Senator, an ex-Secretary Of War.
These ladies were rival leaders Of fash.
ion-Mrs. Johnston with all the pride
of birth, etc.. Mrs. Davis with money
and Mr.. Davis as husband. The cal
dron fumed in Washington, and the bit
terness was renewed when they appeared
in RichmCcsl ShS was then the wife
of the President, and Ms. Johnston's
husband was a Lieutenant General and
right here it is reported that Mrs. Pres,
ident Davis undertook to ignore Mrs,
Gen. Johnston. This, of course, was
not to be quietly borne. Gen. Johnston
was winning fame every day. Finally,
so the gossips have it, MIR. Davis es-
poused tho cause of his wife, and hence
forth Gen. Johnston was impeded at
every point of his brilliant career.
Many persons believe that had it not
been for Mrs. Davis jealousy of Mrs.
Johnston, no unpleasantness would now
exist between the gentlemen. - E1.
