our minds, and learn us to be men.
So my chum and me borrowed
goat that lives in livery stable and
carried him up to my room when pa
and ma was out riding, but the goat
blatted so we had to tie handker~
chief around his nose, and his feet
made such a noise on the floor that
we put some baby's socks on his feet.
Well, sir, my chum and me pracs
ticed with that goat until he could
buut picture OF goat every time.
We borried buck beer sign from
saloon man, and hung it on the back
of chair, and the goat would hit 1T
every time. That night pa wanted
to know what we were doing up in
my room, and | told him we were
playing lodge and improving oar
minds, and pa said that was right,
there was nothing that did boys OF
our age half so much good as to inn
itate men, and store by useful nol-
lidge. Then my chum asked pa if
he didn't want to come mp and take
the grand bumper degree, and pa
LATED and said he didn't care if he
did, Just to encourage us boys in in
nocent pastime, that was so improv-
ing to our intel!ex. We had shut
the goat up in a closet in my room,
and he had got over blatting, SO we
took off the handkerchief and he was
eating some Of my paper collars and
skate straps.
eve went up stairs and told pa
to come up pretty soon and give
three distinct raps, and when we
asked him who comes there he must
say "a pilgarlic who wants TO join
your ancient order and ride the goat.
Ma wanted to come up, too, but we
told her if she come in it would break
up the lodge, cause woman could
not keep a secret, and we didn't have
any side saddle for the goat. Say, if
you never tried it, the next time
you nishiale man in your Mason's
lodge, you sprinkle little kyan pep
per on the goats beard just afore
you turn him loose. You can get
three times as much to the square
inch OF goat. You wouldn't think 1t
was the same goat. Well, we got
all fixed and pa raped, and we let
him in and told him ne must be
blind folded. and he got on his knees

STATE ITEMS.

The Nevada State Prison contains l27
convict inmates.
The assessments falling due on mines
in this State during the month amount
to little over 100000
Much good ore is now being regularly
mined from the lady Bryan groupings
and at points from so to 100 feet below
the surface.
Dayton prospectors are still moving
out to the eastward. Garfield District
appears to be their favorite range. Some
excellent finds have already been made.

Silver State: A carload of ore from the
De Soto mine, at Star, was shipped to
San Francisco recently. The whole load,
something over ten tons, averaged S922.-
80 in silver, and Sl5.07 in gold to the
ton. This ore came from the only mine
in the county that has been opened over
800 feet below the surface.
The Enterprise says Captain Sam, the
wide-awake Piute warrior, has heard of
there being severel cases of diphtheria
on the Divide. He wants to know what
it is like. He says: "Since white man
come too many kinds of sick. Before
white man came only three kinds-head
sick, throat sick and belly sick. Now
no man can tell all the kinds of sick"
There are still many men on the Com
stock who are desirious of going to the
mines of Mexico. Some of them will
probably have the opportunity, says the
Enterprise, as it is said that 100 more
miners will presently be wanted. Those
who left here last Saturday will be set to
work at building road to the mines
that are to be worked. When the road
is completed another lot of miners will
probably be sent down from the Com
stock.

A heap of blood-stained gold awaits
the intrepid adventurer who has the
nerve and strength to enter a gloomy
cave near the village of Mount Nebo, ten
miles southeast Of Youngstown, Ohio.
1t once belonged to an unfortunate ped
dler, who was murdered by a companion.
They had sought refuge from tempest
in cave, and the unsuspecting peddler
disclosed the treasure in his possession
and then calmly dropped off to sleep,
Tired Nature sweet restorer had not had
time to effect any considerable restoration
when the wakeful scoundrel inserted a
knife into his bed-fellow's heart So far,
so good, but unfortunately the blood,
with a total lack of consideration, ran
all over the gold and lavishly imbued the
murderer's person. He thereupon skipped
out OF the cave, leaving the money be-
hind him, and not long afterward, upon
his ath-bed, confessed the facts Just
recorded. Since then various attempts
to secure the treasure have been made,
but to no purpose. Falling rocks have
blocked up the entrance to the cave, and
a stalwart ghost keeps guard This dis.
agreeable apparition has thrown several
persons into the adjacent brook, and up
to the present moment holds the fort
against all corners.

IN GER WHICH KING,

The Bodie Free Press has on several
occasions suggested that the counties OF
Mono, Inyo and Alpine do not properly
belong to the State of California. In a
late issue it says: Situated as they are
east Of the great natural barrier, the
Sierra Nevada, our relations from geo.
graphical point OF view are with the
State OF Nevada. In order at the pres
emit time to reach the capital of our State
we must pass through the capital of Ne
vada, and afterwards travel twelve hours
by rail to reach our destination. This is
one of the inconsistencies and inconven-
fences of our condition as part and
parcel Of the State of California. A more
serious phase Of the subject, however, is
the fact that the industry of our own
section is not homogeneous to that OF the
main portion of the State. There is, in
fact throughout that vast portion OF Cal.
ifornia which is agricultural feeling OF
positive hostility to mining, brought
about in great measure by the conflict of
interests between the hydraulic miners
of the mountains and the ranchers of the
valleys. This hostility takes the form
of actual or attempted invidious legisla-
ton at every session of the General AS
sembly Of late years, and it is not i'm
probable that our interests may yet suffer
q severe blow from this source. On the
other hand, Nevada is mining State
almost exclusively, and its legislation
may naturally be expected to foster those
interests upon which the prosperity OF
the counties east of the mountains de-
pend exclusively. The segregation of
this territory from California is possible,
and is well worth the thoughtful atten-
ton of our people and our public men. y

WASHINGTON, March. IL.
Something OF a scandal seems to be
brought out in connection with the West
ern Shoshonc Indian agency, Elko coun-
ty, Nevada, of which one Howe Is the
agent. His accounts are known to be
badly out of joint. 1t is understood that
he lays the blame on his clerk. Vouchers
were forged for large amount of ac-
counts which were never paid. Con-
gresham Cassidy, of Nevada, is in pos
session of correspondence, including
affidavits of settlers in the vicinity,
showing very clearly this state of facts.
Unsettled claims OF settlers are now be-
ing sent on here for payment. Cassidy
has filed the claims of Henry Boyle and
H. o. Miller.
1t is expected that the counsel of Ser
geant Mason will raise point that there
was fatal error in the court martial
proceedings which will vitiate the whole
trial The error claimed is that the
Court and Judge Advocate were sworn
before the prisoner was brought into
court.
Secretary Lincoln has sent to the Sen
ate statement, showing the total es-
timated cost of maintaining troops in the

A party of miners in the Black Hills
compared eyes and ears over camp fire.
One said: "When I was coming to the
Hills ! looked for Indians until 1 could
see mosquito mile away" Another
said that his eyes were weak, but that
he could hear gnats jumping on the rocks
four miles. The next man had listened
for Indians until he had heard the noun
tain sheep light on their horns in the Big
Mountains, 500 miles away. The fourth,
with his head on his pillow, had strained
his ears until he heard the Chinese nail
ing tea boxes. The fifth, in crossing the
Rocky Mountains, had found a petrifed
forest, the trees turned into solid stone
As he loitered on the edge deer started

A San Francisco correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, in one of his letters says
that shalt million month continues
to be spent in barren rock in vain search
for bonanzas in the numerous mines on
the Comstock vein, in Nevada, below an
average depth Of 22O0 feet under the sur.
face Of Mount Davidson. The 5000, 900
daily gallons Of water is very hot every
where below 1000 feet, and, with single
exception, no large body of paying ore
has been found below that level. At this
time combined efforts are pu hing ex-
plorations with fourfold activity, and
streaks of quartz are met in the dark
porphyry, giving hopes But the stock
market is set back by the new theory of
expert James Delevan, viz: "No bonan-
zas will be found where the water has so
high temperature, and all boring is money
thrown away. Scientific reasons are
given. Two Of the mines have reached
5000 feet in confirmation of this theory,
and the bottom has dropped out of the
mining market"

The convict camps of Kentucky have
been described as places of barbarous
torture. A committee of the Legislature
is making an investigation. The testi-
mony thus far taken seems to bear out
the worst of the charges, In one camp,
only thirteen out of fifty convicts sur
vived year OF excessive labor at lumber
ing, insufficient food, scant clothing, and
entire absence of medical attention. Sui
cides have been common among the
prisoners, and deliberate murders by the
keepers, under the plea of enforcing
discipline, have come to light. In u
coal-mining camp, when the men pro-
tested against going into dangerous
tunnel, the keeper drove them in at the
mouth of a cooked revolver. Three hours
afterward, a fall of earth killed eleven of
them. The lash and the thumbscrew
have been in use.

called serkys to preserve the youthful

their charms. In Turkey, where it
costs but little it is often mixed with the
water of the bath. Taken twice day
in the same manner as tea, its effects are

is cheap commodity, how then does it
happen that Turkish women grow old

In recent address to the City Council

of Canada excited much enthusiasm by
the following remark: "The possibility
Of q national existence for Canada is, l
think, distinctly recognized This senti-
ment has been seized on by the Club Ma
tionalc Of Montreal, which has asked for
its adoption as plank in the platform of
the Canada Liberal party. Coming from
the Marquis of Lorne, the statement is
by some believed to have special signi6-
canoe. That there is any considerable
body Of Canadians anxious to listen to
such views, and that the Governor-G Zen
eral himself feels warranted in promulgat.
ing them, lends color to the existence of
an independence party in Canada OF
greater strength than many Of its public
men and representative journals have
been willing to admit.
