propose to combine their respective pusi-
nesses into one, upon the principle that IN
union there is strength. They are discussing
the purchase of the Foley-Riekard building
ia which to carry or the new enterprise.
The motives that suggest tho project
they claim to be That goods in larger guam
titles will be cheaper; frioshts in bulk VIII
be cheaper: cost in carrying on tho business
will be greatly reduced; the number of clerks
will be reduced one-half, as also delivery
wagons; rents greatly reduced. and losses
on open accounts, which are very heavy
in Eureka. will be very much reduced
on account of the cash system which will be
strictly adhered to 10 the new business, lights.
insurance, licenses, fuel and other incide entails
diminished in proportion. Tho new business
firm proposed will carry a stock of sl5O,OO0,
and expect to sell during the year at least ST.
O0O,0 900. With this swing they will be able to
make Eureka the great Business center for
Eastern Nevadi and thereby control the trade
of such outlying places as Cherry Creek.
Phoebe, Belmont. Typo. Hamilton, etc. Ths
affairs OF ne institution will be under tho di-
r~ection of a general manager and a Board Of
Directors.
Some Of the people of Eureka loak with
alarm on the formation of So powerful a com
b~ination. and fear it will not benefit but in
jure the community, by becoming n formid-
able monopoly and doing away with all COM
p%etiLion.

the following positive statement:
Chief Justice Cartier and Judges Nc
Arthur, Hagner and James held a
consultation on Saturday, summing
up the arguments of counsel in the
application ofGuiteau for a rebearing.
The consultation lasted four hours,
and was marked by a most searching
examination OF authorities and a most
rigorous analysis of every point made
in the arguments. The Judges were
in thorough harmony all through and
in reaching the decision, not for n
minute differing in the general steps.
The decision will be announced on
May I'D. The decision afirms the
sentence of the court below, Of course
overruling the exceptions. This dis
poses of Guiteau's last chance. He
will be hanged on June 80, 1882.

New Postal ride

The very general demand made by
the people for some modification ofthe
existing money order law, whereby
sums smaller than 50 can be sent by
the mails with the same security as
by money order, but at "A less rate,
and in a more convenient manner,
has led to the preparation Of a bill to
meet this demand, which will proba-
bly, be passed whene, er it il reached
by Congress. Tue Carson Appeal
says it has two features recommend
ing it 10 popular favor: the transmits

increase of the amount allowed by the
regular money order to 800, with a
reduction OF the present rate Of

A good thing has been done by the
Texas Legislature to protect the pub
lie morals. A bill has been passed,
taxing all persons selling the Police
Gazette, Police News and similar il
Illustrated journals $500 per annum in
each county where such papers are
sold. That is equal to a prohibition,
and the suppressing OF that class OF
literature is a public blessing.

Stealing editorials bodily is a very
stupid kind of theft. The young man
who runs the White Pine News is the
most reckless marander of this kind

the True Fissure, that he go " e and
apply a single to the %,ounster in such
a way as will make him walk-and

The Bulletin is mistaken on all
points. First, we are no gosling Of

Joined any of Bro. Mulholland's edi-
torial thunder. Editors who are so

A Cenotaph for MORGAN.

The memory of old time politics will
be revived shortly in western New York
by the erection at Batavia of a statue of
William Morgan, the assailant of Free
masonry. A. @. Vredenburgh, sculp-
tor of Kingston, has just finished the
model of the statue. The model, which
is only three feet in height, will be sent
to Vermont to be cut in granite in heroic
size. It represents Morgan standing
firmly erect, with his right leg advanced
and the knee slightly bent; the weight
Of the figure resting upon the left foot.
The body is gracefully outlined by the
close-fttlng coat; the right arm is bent,
the hand resting in the buttoned coat,
while the left arm hangs naturally at the
side, with its hand grasping a scroll.
The pose of the head is good. A coun-
tenance indicating frankness and open
ness is crowned by large forehead.
The nose is aquiline, the lips thin and
somewhat pressed, and the chin large.

about half was written on one page, and
the witnesses signed at the foot; the
other half was written on the other page
and then came the testator's signature,
This instrument was discarded, because
the witnesses did not sign at the end of
the will. Common sense ought to tell
any one that any important paper ought
to be completed before the signatures
are affixed.
The New York rule as to signing and
witnessing is that there must be two wit
nesses; the testator must sign in their
presence, inform them that the paper is
his will Che need not tell them what is in
IT'D, and ask them to witness it; and they
must sign their names and residences at
the end of the will. They usually sign
below brief memorandum certifying
that these things were done; but this
memorandum is not strictly essential.
Keep the will, when completed, in a safe
place. In Massachusetts,, lately, will
was contested because rats bad eaten the
signature. Lord ST. Leonard's will was
lost and was established only by the for
tunate fact that his daughter was able to
repeat the substance of it from memory.

An Unapp eizinq Dish.

A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press, writing from the Navigator
Islands, in the South Pacific relates his
experience at a banquet given under
royal supervision. He says:
We remained at Apia till January 8,
when we left for the coaling station at
Pago-pago, about ninety miles from
Apia. A few days before our departure
the king gave us grand feast and cava
drinking. The feast took place in the
open air, under the palms. The board
was the earth, and all the dishes were
roasted and served up in leaves. The
menu consisted of roast sheep, pig,
chickens, ducks, turtle, fish, oysters,
yams, tara, breadfruit, eggs and fruits in
abundance. The cava, which was passed
around, we escaped whenever we could
do SO without offending. The manner of
preparing it has sickened us. The root
is chewed by eight maidens, and the
saliva mixed with water is thoroughly
stirred, and the mixture then strained
through the fingers. 1t is then ready for
drinkingt It has peculiar but not un-
pleasant taste, and if properly made
would form a very pleasant drink.

/" Lifting"
from MacmiIlan's Magazine.1

lrFOu NdCu1lldu AldSaZ1ue.l
When an invitation is being given
verbally to funeral in Scotland, the
person invited usually asks, when do
you lift?" meaning, SO At what hour is
the funeral to take placer" The manner
of conveying the coffin from the house
to the place of interment, still followed
In Eaglesham, village in the south of
Renfrewshire, abundantly explains this
phrase. AS can be well enough under
stood, hearses and coaches are institu-
tions belonging to towns and cities, not
to villages. In the latter the coffin is
borne to the grave on three poles, which
are passed under it, long enough to leave
sufficient portion for two men to grasp
on either side. OF course, it is impos-
sible to place these "spokes" il position
in the house, SO couple of stools are
brought out to the street, the coffin is
placed upon them, and when the cortege
is ready to go the spokes are passed I'M
der, the coffin is Gifted" and the pro-
cession moves off.

THE SILENT SEARCHERS.
BY HENRY RIPLEY DoRR.

When the darkness of night has fallen,
And the birds are fast asleep,
An army of silent searchers
From the dusky shadows creep;
And over the quiet meadows
Or amid the the waving trees,
They wander about with their tiny lamps
That fash in the evening breeze.
And this army of silent searchers,
Each with his dickering light,
Wanders about till the morning
Has driven away the night.
What treasures they may be seeking
No man upon earth can know;
Perhaps tits the home of the fairies
Who lived in the long ago.
For an ancient legend tells us
That once, when the fairy king
Had summoned his merry Ministries
At the royal feast to sing,
The moon, high over the tree-tops,
With the stars refused to shine,
And an army with tiny torches
Was called from the oak and pine.
And when, by the imps Of darkness,
The fairies were chased away,
The army began its searching
At the close of dreary day:
Through all the years that have followed
The seekers have searched the night,
Piercing the gloom OF the hours
With the flash of the magic light.
Would you see the magical army?
Then come to the porch with me
Yonder among the hedges
And near to the maple tree,
Over the fields of clover
And down in the river damp,
The fire-fies search till the morning,
Each with his Pickering lamp.

ONE-HALF of the marital infelicity in
the world is due to the wife's inability to
comprehend her husbands little wants
or to stubborn and malignant temper
which leads her deliberately to oppose
the qualification of his wishes. But there
are women who understand this and act
according. A Brooklyn lady whose hus-
band had been suffering from despon-
dency was asked if she wasn't afraid he
would commit suicide some time.
"There's bare possibility that be
may" she answered in a tone of true
wifely devotion. "I always lay out a
razor on his dressing table before he
comes home. Brooklyn Eagle.

LOVES RIDDLE.
BY AUGUSTA WEBSTER.

Why love thee" is thy question so?
why, when Isabel is lovelier far ?"
Dear, so hard to read loves riddles are,
He's no lover who can solve them well;
L may tell when thou hast made me know
Why thy smile has nought of Isabel
Why love thee" dost thou ask me this +?
why, when Lucys voice is thrice as sweet ?"
Dear, loves measures are so hard to mete,
More or less compute no lovers choice;
Ere I tell, say what the reason is
Why thy singing has not Lucy's voice.
Why love thee," must answer now2
why. when Blanche is wittier fifty-foId ?D
Dear, love wrote his changeless law of old.
Lover g wisdom should not know it's why:
Why art thou not she, nor she but thou?
Tel me, love, for therein's my reply
Good Words.

A SIMPLE BAROMETER,

A correspondent of the English Me-
chanlc thus describes a simple barom-
eter: Take a glass tube about inches
long and about internal diameter, and
draw out one end before the blowpipe to
point, leaving very small orifce about
1-100 to 1-60 of an inch diameter. This
end of the tube should not quite sharp,
but somewhat rounded. A cork is pre-
pared to fit tightly the wide end of the
tube, and If the cork is made of cork
its sides and upper ends should be
creased or coated with paraffin, the lower
end being left uncoated. A rubber cork
would answer better. The tube should
now be about half filled with distilled
water, although the exact height is of no
consequence, and the cork, firmly firmly
inserted. The tube should be suspended
with the point downward near the win
dow, and it should never be shaken.
When the barometric pressure is low,
indicating rain, drop of water will APP
appear at the orifce and hang at the
lower end of the tube. When the baro-
metric pressure rises the drop will dis
appear, and bubble of air NAV some
times be seen III the act of entering by
the narrow opening. If more than one
drop is extruded of course they will fall,
but one drop will always remain sus-
pended. ~ have had tube of this de-
scription hanging in my laboratory, %
says the writer, for two years, and I
find its Indications for rain and dry
weather most unerring. The only error
arises from extremely sudden rises OF
