OIL SToyEs:-It is a fact being
demonstrated every day that the oil
stove is becoming more popular and
it will in a very short time be IN
general use in all families. We VEN
ture TO say that they will save their
price in wood in one summer, be-
sides keeping your house cool and
nice during the hot months. If
there is anything disagreeable for a
woman it is ironing day, when she
has to heat the stove up led-hot and
nearly suhocate with the heat.
With the oil stove you can have
your room cool and pleasant and en-
Joy the work. We have been using
one at our house for the past few
weeks and four times the price of it
would not take it out if we could
not get another. NJ. Hoffman of
this city, sells three different kinds
of there stoves, the Economist, -
adams & West!akc" and New
Success" all Of which are good, al
though the New Success is thought
to stand little ahead Of the others
Mr.. Hoffman guarantees this stove
to bake biscuit in ten minutes, boil
one quart of water in four minutes
broil steak IN three minutes and re-
tain all the juice from the same,
without any smell of oil about the
stove. There are quite a number of
oil soves used in town all Of which
SO far as we can learn give perfect
satisfaction.

Ladies as Mining Experts.

Messrs. D. J. Mckay, John II. Mad
den, John Ross and Mr.. Leverton wcr
very much surprised Saturday even
ing upon receiving call from scvera
society bellies of Russell and Leaven
worth. at their mine On the Leaven
worth lode. The ladies took posses
sion of the shaft building, engine, boil
er and holster, averring that they had
come there to visit the mine, and were
determined to descend the shaft and
examine if mining was properly con-
Quoted. Dan Mckay and the rest OF
the boys surrendered, as discretionary
men will. Although quite bashful,
the leader of the Leavenworth church
choir, elder John Henderson, extended
an invitation for the ladies to don min.
ing suits, which they did in lively
manner. AS the ore buckets would
only admit of two ladies in the bucket
at time, they were thus sent down,
one of the members of the mining COM
pany standing on the rim of the bucket
to prevent it from striking any of the
rolls on the incline. The last two la
dies, Mrs. Emma Cox and Miss Emma
Shaw, were lowered to the bottom,
$50 feet, where they alighted. Re.
turning, they stopped at the 32O-foot
east level, and were assisted to alight
on spreader by Miss Belle Frazer,
one of the venturesome ladies COM
prising the party. On entering the
level the sound of a violin caught the
ears of the party, and, there not being
room for quadrille, an old-fashioned
Virginia reel was engaged in, the mi
ners all joining in. After general
good time the gallant miners escorted
the ladies to the surface and conducted
them home.
This is the first instance ON record
where reel was danced in a mine at
a depth of 800 feet. The church choir
Of Leavenworth will hereafter not only
be renowned for their vocal abilities,
ut also for their gallantry.

There is, or used to be, in Virginia
City an inspired stock operator named
Tompkins. There is nothing peculiar
in the name of Tompkins, but this par
ticular Tompkins' name was peculiar
in that, written ia full, it was Touch
Bottom Tompkins. Mr.. I. b. Temp
kins was not christened Touch Bottom
that portion of his name he acquired
during his residence in Virginia City.
1t was bestowed on him on account of
his extremely sanguine disposition in
regard to mining stocks. No matter
how blue the outlook or how rapid the
depreciation. when asked his opinion
OF the situation, he would reply:
They've touched bottom, nv boy
they've touched bottom" They have
touched bottom several times since
Touch Bottom Tompkins announced
that fact; but at this moment who
can say where there lis or at what
point there is any bottom for them to
touch. There are many Touch Bottom
Iompkinses in San Francisco stock
circles, who have no more foundation
Tor their bottom, than their Comstock
had when he remarked that
they had touched bottom when Sierra
Nevada dropped to 5000, and Yellow
Jacket was cheap at $50. They saw
stocks have touched bottom now

simple Remedy for Catarrh anu

1t is now generally known that car
bolic acid is strongly disinfectant. ant
very usefully applied to putrld sores
or purulent wounds. Wood creosote II
similar, is decidedly antiseptlc, ane
quite volatile. 1t is, therefore, natural
to suppose it would be useful wher
applied to catarrhal and bronchial al
fections which arise from diseased OF
purifying mucus. We learned OF its
use for this purpose from DR.. Pessetto,
leading physician in the noted ltal-
ian medical school in Genoa, Italy,
from whose conversation we CLEANED
portions of the important article on

mended the following treatment in

inently worthy Of trial, both for tenn
porary and chronic affections:
For bronchitis: Get from the drug
gist's little good wood creosote. Put
two drops of it into bottle holding a
pint or SO. Pour in little more than
half pint of clear water, and shake
it we'll always before using it. Take
mouthful Of this, throw the head back,
gargle it sometime in the throat, and
then swallow it. Repeat this every
two hours, more or less, so as to use
up the liquid within "a hours. For
each subsequent "a hours use three
drops of the creosote in three to four
gills of water. This three drops a
day may be continued as long as any
bronchitis appears. Two or four days
is usually enough, though it may be
continued indefinitely without harm
For catarrh: Prepare the creosote
water as above, to any amount, at the
rate of one drop of creosote to one
gill of water -four drops to the pint
Or little more water if the creosote
be very strong and the water too irri-
tatlng. Make fresh mixture once in
two or three days and as much oftener
rs more is needed. Take a handful of
his water, previously we'll shaken

mouth and eject it. A little going

ages washed out with the creosote
water. Its vapor will even penetrate
ne pony cavities, and also be drawn
INTO the lungs with useful results, IT
destroys the purulent mucus, and tends
o prevent its further secretion. It is
Seiul for any discharges from the
ose or lungs produced by colds or

Queen Victoria has been upon the

The Lynchburg Adrdnce breaks out in
the following cheerful song. 1t may be
music to the Democrats, but it will be dis
sonance itself to the Coaitionists. The
Adrdnce says:
1.-The news is more encouraging. We
know OF counties in which in the last week
there have been changes. Democrats who
heretofore refused to support Massey have
given in their adhesion TO him upon the
ground that they feel it TO be their duty As
citizens and as moral Christian men,
and as businessmen, TO sacrifice feel
ing Of antipathy and preconceiyed Opin-
ions for the purpose OF defeating
John :. Wise. Many men have become
convinced that Massey is better man than
they thought him, and Wise much worse
one than they thought him, and this opinion
is rapidly increasing. Men who voted for
Cameron can be found in many counties
who up TO within the last ten GAYS would
have voted for " Use and sims, and Wise
and Bowen, who will vote for Massey ana
the Democrats. because they are now con-
WINGED that the move Of MahOnci>m is as
