The GIRL AND THE MoUsTAcHE. -~-
What the average girl doesn't know
about moustaches no one can tell
her. 1t would be the most outrage
GUS presumption. Some people have
one idea about moustache and some
another, but there is no mistake
about it on the part of young wo-
man. She knows exactly what tue
moustache is for, and there is no one
who can get quite as much use ont
OF 1t as the girl who fully under.
stands her business. The NOUS
tache, she knows very well, is made
to season kisses with, and in many
hsSanccs kisses derive more than
two thirds Of their sweetness from
the character Of moustache. Some
thing depends upon the color some
times, and often tic texture is g.
matter of real consideration. To
some, however, the monsLache in any
way is such perfectly lovely thing
chat The girl 10 not particular rs TO
small matters, II is only a-mous
saclles That there shall be & nous
tache is entirely essential, There
would be TO real sweetness ia life
without it, and no ono girl in eight
hundred would ever fall in love if it
were not for tbe moustache. II is
just the incest thing ever invented to
fall in love With, aud no young man
in his right mind ever fails to take
advantage Of it. The moustache
ought to be given pleaty of room to
grow and let US hope The drought Of
the last summer has not retarded it.

Mlnsrs, Wages.

Periodically the question of the re-
duction of wages IN the Comstock
comes up for discussion, the plea be-
ing each time that the wages Of COM
mon miners must be reduced to make
the mines pay. In looking over the
reports of companies, it usually
strikes us that such items as legal ex-
penses, salaries, sundries, etc., go to
swell the expenses more than they
should. II expenses are to be re-
duced, and they should be, this top
heavy system Of mining too much in
vogue will be best remedied by tax
ing off the weight from above. A
trimming of salaries and rigid in.
speetion Of general expenses will serve
a better purpose than cutting down
the wages OF the men who do the real
work. Underground miners get mono
too much pay for the dangerous and
laborious work they do.
There are serious differences Of
opinion on this subject, it is true; but
most persons will agree that every
effort ought first TO be made to prune
off the useless and superfiuous de-
pendents, and spend the money main
ly with the producers, before cutting
down the ~hard-earned wages Of these
men. The Reno Gazette brings rather
a curious argument 10 show that the
mining kings do not care much about
the matter. 1t says /: "The situation
on the Comstock is becoming such
that a reduction of wages is very
loudly and generally called for. 1t
is usually held that the bonanza firm
must make the fight against the
Union, but we doubt II they care
whether wages r high or low, IS all
the miners deal i'm stocks, and all their
money comes into the bank sooner or
later. II wages are high, the men
engaged in all the mines on the lead
have money to spend in stocks, and
only a part OF this would be saved to
the firm il wages were lower, as they
have on half the mines. The pres
sure against high wages must come
from the people. They must refuse
TO pay assessments until they see the
mines being run with some chance OF
profit. As long as they pour money
into the market at the top, Mackay
and Fair can afford to hold the sack
open and catch it as it drops out at
the bottom.'

IL the Bishop Rights.

Bishop Pierce, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, says 'that
he thinks dancing the silliest and
most nonsensicai amusement that ra-
tional beings, so called. ever engaged
in; that it had its origin in heathen-
ism, being a pastime of savages; that
it il lewd, sensual and obscene, ap-
pealing to the lower instincts OF hu-
manity, and having a tendency to de-
grade rather than elevate" We agree
with the Bishop; but then we never
o1ld dance, and perhaps the Bishops
censnre is due to a like deficiency in
the graceful art.

Butte City. Montana.

"This q hi Of place., writes Char
ley Anderson to a friend in Tuscarora,
under date of January 10th, ''but
am here and guess I'll have to stay
for some time, anyway. 'Tis said all
fields look green at a distance, and
this particular one certainly looks
greener and brighter from Nevada
than it does from taking a nearer
view. There is a great influx of pop
ulation at the present time, and 1t Is
predicted that it will be materially
augmented in the spring, but 1t will
soon vanish, as there is nothing here
to justify it. This assertion Is borne
out by the fact that the Alice mine,
the principal one in the district, which
is running so stamps, ships bullion
from the value of So, 900 to IS, 900 per
week, and the other so stamps that
are running in the camp a like pro-
portion. This is not equal to the
Grand Prize, when it used to roll out
bullion at the rate of $25 900, TO $780,
900 a week with its 20 stamps. The
Nevada boys do not seem to like 1t
here, and nearly every n of them
say they will go back in the spring IL
things liven up there a little. 1t is
colder here than 1t was on the top Of
the North Pole where / was born and
raised. 1t il so cold that it freezes ice
between married people, and as a
consequence the town is overrun with
grass widows. The night l arrived
here, King Boreas pushed the Their
mometer down to 18o below zero, and
has since kept it there with q little
variation Of from II to go.

snatohed from the Tomb.

A wild umo was circulated on the
street last Saturday evening that a
young man, we'll known here, and his
s'lady friend" had taken cold poison
and were on the brink of that mystic
river where all "troubles cease and the
weary are at rest" A member of the
medical profession prescribed a pow
erful antidote and brought them back
to linger awhile yet in this world Of
trials and sorrow. What unfeeling
brutes doctors are. Too much NOR
phine in their whiskey was what allied
them.

Legislature, and by rejoicing him in
1875. In 1880 he became one of the
standard bearers of the Republican
party, and canvassed his county

A vase was presented to President
Franklin b. Gowen, Monday afternoon,
by few of his friends prominently con
nected with the coal interests of Pennsyl-
vaDia. The gift is from the establishment
of Msssrs. Bailey, Banks d Biddle, de-
signed and manufactured by them, and is
the finest single piece ever produced in
Philadelphia. 1t consists of massive
elliptical or oval bowl Of hammered oxy-
died silver, thirty inches in length, lined
inside with hammered ard fluted gold,
and decorated at the sides with four silver
medallions, each supported by an orna-
mented curved bracket with rich gold
mountings. The front medallion bears in
full relief in gold, bust Of Mr.. Gowen,
which is very faithful and admirable
portrait, while the opposite medallion has
similar representation Of Josiah b.
White, the father of the coal industry
The companion medallion pieces at the
ends of the bowl are engraved with the
names of the donors.
The principal feature of the base is a
magnificently executed specimen of an
thracite coal, showing with exact fidelity
its peculiar conchoidal fracture. The
bowl rests upon this, which is itself sup
ported by rows of bordering, widening at
the base and enriched with decorative re-
presentations of the coal fora of Pcnnsyl-
vania, while around the base are four
groupings of the coal industry-the pick
spade and shovel-enriched with beauti-
fully executed laurel wreaths and berries.
The top rim of the vase bears the inscrip
ton, in raised letters, g Presented to
Franklin B. Gowen as a token of our
grateful remembrance of his services in
suppressing lawless violence and re-estab-
fishing security for life and property in
the anthracite coal regions of Pennsyl-
vania." John f. Graeff made the pre-
sentation speech, and Mr.. Gowen replied
briefly The vase is now on exhibition at
Bailey, Banks & Biddle's.

The Lyceum.
The closing exercises of the Lyceum on
last Wednesday evening, brought together
large and intelligent audience who were
apparently well pleased with the enter
tainment, several features of which de-
serve special mention. An address by
Rev. E. X. Smith, on the subject, Long
fellow. was particularly well received
aud he has been requested to allow its
publication. Mr.. John Saunders gave
some Rotations from Shakespeare s
"Othello," and although the selections
would have been more pleasant for such
an occasion If they had been such as did
not require quite so much agony, the
reading was excellent. Selections from
SCOTS Lady of the Lake." were also
read. by DIR. J. Hayhurst in a pleasing
manner. The debate upon the question,
Is politics an honorable field for dis.
tinction,'' was conducted by VIM. Lyman
and w. F. Hayhurst, Esqs., and decision
rendered in the affirmative. Vocal solos
were rendered by Misses Walton and Ida
Pierson, and Mrs. Maggie Titus, and
made up, perhaps, the most pleasant part
of the entertainment. Votes of thanks
were rendered to the officers for the
faithful manner in which they have dis
charged their duties, and to the ladies for
their music on the evening. The assoca-
ton then adjourned to meet on the first
Thursday evening Of October next.
