4 ConyiCts Honor.

One Of the pleasing incidents in
Colonel lngersoll's career whore real
gratitude rewarded his attempts to help
a fellow man in his distress, has q con-

Wet from the pcnitcntiary, provide that
he shall be given suit Of clothes, 50
that h shall not he obliged to go out
into the world in a p"nitentiarv garb.
This would-ho kindness is, however,
made a farce by tie greedy contractor
who furnishes the clothing in question.
All the suits arc alike, of shodGy ma

\ man in one Of these suits of clothes
might as we'll have the word peniten-
tiary written all over him, so far as con-
cealment is concerned. One day Colonel
Ingersoll was seated in his Peoria law
office when discharged convict entered
wearing the suit that equally Indicted
the shame of the contractor and the
waaror; as Colonel Ig roll sid :
" Every stitch in his clothing screamed
'penitentiary.'
The visitor said: "Penitentiary."

man. But I don't want to go home in
these penitentiary clothes. | want to
spare my wife and children that dis
grace, if possible. Won't you lend me
enough money to buy me a suit Of
clothes ?"
After little conversation the Colonel
gave him an order on a local dealer for
a suit Of clothes not to exceed $40. The
man returned ter he had exchanged
his suits, with huge bundle under his
arm This contained his penitentiary

"There, burn, damn you % he said,
with an air of satisfaction. He then
went out.

hear of him AGAIN. O>e wear aftnruar6
he received letter in his mail. This
was from the eX-convict. He inclosed
a draft for $40, and the story of his
gratitude to the helping hand that had
so kindly "ided him in the first steps of
his efforts to repair the one great error
of his life.

Asylum Accepted.

Yesterday afternoon the Board Of
Commissioners for the care Of the in
sane formally accepted the Asylum
building. The Board held q meeting at
the building yesterday afternoon. w
f. f. Deal, in speaking on behalf Of the
Board said they were more than pleased
with the work. Mr. Deal, continuing,
said 1.-The building is the finest
structure ever saw built for the money
The Board congratulate themselves and
thank the cOntl actors for the faithful
manner in which the contract had been
carried out. Nevada will feel proud Of
the building, and it will stand an ever
lasting monument of honest and faith
ful work. The Board met again l. st
evening at the parlors of the Depot Ho-
Onded by Adams, the Secretary was
authorized to pay the contractors the
twenty-five per cent. reserved under
the contract until the acceptance Of the
building, amounting to $4,000, over to
the contractors, after he had satisfied
himself that all bills against the build
ing had been paid by the contractors.
Less the difference of $500 between an
iron and wooden cOrnice, as per an
agreement between the contractors and
Commissioners. The Board then pro-
cee,led to consider bill for extra work
not in the contract, but ordered by the
SUPERINTENDENT of Construction, Curtis,
and ordered by the Commissioners, to
the amount of $4,000. The Board after
closely examining the bill, adjourned
to meet at Carson on next Tuesday,
without passing upon the claim. The
keys Of the building have been given to
the proper authorities, and the con
tractors relieved from further RESPONSE
bi!ity. Champagne and cigars claimed
the attention of both Commissioners
and contractors for a few minutes after
the business was arranged. The best
of feeling prevailed, and both parties az

Mr.. Beeecher thinks there is an IN
pardOnable sin. He saw such men once
in the JarCiin Mabille in Paris, . place
which he calls hell. They had faces
full Of lust, and utterly devoid Of good
ness, sentiment and conscience. They
look like burnt-out craters-thcreW WASH t
aGv soul in them. He did not believe
they could live hereafter. So with men
in other walks of life, dried and CORFU
gated and deadcned to every lovely
feeling. Their case WAS hopeless.
Sound them anywhere and the answer
Is death, death. We say of such per
sons, ard it is not the pulpit alone. il
il the voice of common experience
there is no hope for them.

The Empress Eugene, it is now re
lated, was the moving cause of the pro-
duction Of "L'Africaine." Mcyerbrcr,
in 1862, attended reception given by
the Enpres $, and game of forfeits WIS
proposed. The Princess Metternich
drew the forfeits, and on asking Eugene
what was to be done to the owner of
the last "pretty thing' in the bag, the
Empress replied: "He must grant me
a favor" Meyerbeer was the owner of
the forfeit, and "L'Africaine' was the
favor demanded. The opera has been
lying unheeded since 1884, when its
production was prevented by Madame
Falcon, who was to have created the
part of Selika, losing her voice. The
composer waited in vain for another
star to appear; but none Of the great
singers seemed to come up TO his idea
Of what Se.ika ought to he. The IN
expected request Of the Empress resus-
citat2G the work.

Our people are rejoicing I'm their victory

Coalitionists had two judges and the De-
mocrats one at each precinct. IL Is our
first experience in fraud and rascahty at
elections. We are realizing Mahone's

he adopted with such success in PETERS

SEWERS. Medical NelrS saws

"Experience has shown that severed
cities are healthier than those which are not
severed, and that in cities partially sewer
ed the mortality is less in those portions
provided with sewers. This Is notably the
case in the city OF Chicago. 1t is also found
that diphtheria and typhoid-fever are more
prevalent in unsewered cities. The gases
Of sewers do not cause any specific disease,
and are rendered harmless by sufficient
dilutiOn, which may be secured by ventila-
ton OF soil-pipes and sewers
Why, then, is not every part Of every
city severed? To make a sewer does not
cost the taxpayers of Richmond dime
that is. as taxpayers. Each property
holder on the line OF sewer pays his por-
ton out OF his own private funds.

Silas Walters was found dead 81 Ridge

the coroner's jury was that "he came TO
his death partly from exposure and partly
from old age and inanition." 1t was in
evidence that he had been sent TO the poor

his own request, TO the house OF his daugh-

in the evidence indicated that il was a case

November 16, 1882.
The Board OF Election Commissioners
met yesterday to complete the canvass OF
the vote. having adjourned over from
Thursday last for the purpose OF correct
ing certain inf0rmalltics apparent on the
face OF the returns. The returns from
HancOck's Store precinct were not signed
either by the judges or the clerks, and 1t
appeared that ten votes for John ). Wise
were found in the amendment balIot-boX,
but the judges counted them and added
them TO the votes Received by John ;.
Wise in the regular ballot-boX. The judges
also failed to certify the number OF electors
at said precinct. The judges and clerks
were summoned before the Board. One
Judge, on account OF sickness, failed to
appear. The judges signed the returns.
but the clerks refused to attest the same
because the other Judge was absent, and
neither the judges nor the clerks were
willing to certify the number of electors.
For the above reasons the majority OF

II appeared from the returns from
KleyeSahrs Store that two persons voted
whose names did not appear on the regis
tration- books, and one person voted on a
taX-receipt signed by one Wilson How
lett, who was not a collecting officer. The
Board counted the returns, but certified the
facts to the State Board.
Mr.. George Mason appeared as counsel
for the Democratic party, and Chancellor
Fitzpatrick, assisted by Attorney-General
William Roane Ruffin, our county boss,
represented the Republicans.
Mr.. DancoX, the dissenting commissions
or, assisted by the aforementioned able
counsel Fitzpatrick Il Ruilin) prepared a
separate return to the State Board, reciting
a solemn protest against the action OF the
majority in "their effort to disfranchise
the voters OF an entire precinct"
The number OF votes thrown ont by the
action OF the Board is 81, OF which j. 5.
Wise received a majority OF -, thus re-
ducng his majority in this county to 30.

he said acted in a partisan manner through
out the whole affair.

FrTz-JonN PORTER. Ii Is amazing to wit

report of military commission recon-
mending that justice be done to him, and
General GRANTS endorsatiou of that re-
port, General PORTER ought TO be able to
succeed before long in clearing his reputa-
ton from the stain put upon il twenty
