Kind to the Old Man.

From the Virginia City Enterprise.
81 raise you three dollars, father" said Com
stock young man who was in little game of
draw with his paternal progenitor the other
evening.
"What are you doing that for?" asked the old
man, rather peevishly.
Cant help it. Got two pair
The elderly gentleman threw up his hand
whereupon the youth showed his cards, discios-
ing the fact that he did not have even so much
as pair of deuces.
The look Of disgust on the old mans face was
intense but it changed suddenly for the next
hand, which was dealt by his accomplished son,
contained three aces.
"Mebbe you won't be so previous in your
blufiing this time," chuckled the father. as he
drew two cards and showed a handful of his
hard-earned silver into the middle of the table,
Il tap you" was the sons laconic reply
throwing up $50 piece.
In his eagerness the old man did not notice
that his boy had not drawn any cards. and so
unhesitatingly called. He was downed. The
boy had flush.
After the old gentleman had left the young
man said, in the voice which was almost choked,
and which showed plainly how much he was
moved by the emotion of flial affection, 81 had
to do it, boys. You know how it is. Father
has to work very hard and it was doing him a
favor to break him quick, SO he could get home
and have his regular sleep. Barkeep, fetch in
the drinks"

The Fading Morning Comet.

From the Albany Argus, November 10.
1t seems that the comet has now ceased to be
popular wonder, though it still claims the at
tention and interest of astronomers the world
over, and will continue to do so until it has
passed from the range of their instruments into
the boundleSs realms of space. Since the moon
has removed from the vicinity of the comet, the
latters appearance has become brighter, and its
luminous lace-like train can again be seen in the
early morning shooting across the sky directly
from its seeming enemy, the sun. When the tail
was last measured at the Dudley Observatory
few days ago, it was 1Sdegrees long. This CORE
spends with an actual length of about GO. 600 900
miles. Telescope study of the great object
reveals an increased elongation of the comets
mead The bright round nucleus in the end
nearest the sun has preserved It's first apparent
relation to the less dense material directly sur
rounding 1t ever since the separation of the
compact and OblOng head, which occurred sew
eral weeks ago. But the head has been contin-
ually increasing in lenght, though diminishing
In brightness, and when last measured by Mr..
Tucker was over 100000 miles long. Those
having the matter in charge have experienced
considerable difficulty in combining the obser-
vatlons OF different observers because of the
uncertainty as to the precise part of the head
taken in each observation as the center of gray
ity and used for the point to be located The
question of the Identity of the new comet may
depend upon this. The comet will probably re-
main IN the range Of vision until January, when
it will rise about midnight. Much computation
remains to be done to determine whether or rot
the great object will return within the lifetime
OF any person now on earth.

COMMUNIST SPREADING.
And What is the Best Way to Deal

From the London News.
Russia, as we know, is honeycombed with Nj

which was started some years ago in Cartha-

was evidence enough that socialism had taken
h0ld OF the Latin race outside the limits Of
France. 1t is quite possible that the present
disturbances in Lyons and the alarms spread
throughout France may be easily got rid Of but
it is the less evident that spirit of revolt
is growing up among the poor classes all over
Europe, which. by the very necessities of its
condition. suggests a sort of common brother
hood with common watchword. The next
great struggle of what is called authority will
undoubtedly have to deal with social rather
than a political revolt. The wisest; thing au-
thorty can do will be TO endeavor to make the
struggle one against the conditions which tend
to this revolt rather than against the revolt
itself

The Business Outlook


The commercial situation of the country may
be said to be better than few weeks ago. The
great staples are moving to the seaports and
from present indications the next statement
comparing exports and imports will show large
excess In favor Of the former. Cotton is begin
ming to fill outgoing vessels 1853, 800 bales being
sent during last week. Corn is Just beginning
to come in, the arrivals in the six principal
markets in the west during last week footing up
to the surprising total of nearly 300 900 bushels
which Will be largely surpassed during the
pending and coming weeks 1t was late in
starting, but the weather has been universally
good, and there Is promise of large total. The
movement OF wheat, too. has grown. the receipts
for last week exceeding 100000 bushels. We
have abundance of what the world wants. and
can get it better from us than elsewhere
matter of much Importance to the provision
trade is the bill likely to pass the German parl-
ament prohibiting the importation of American
hogs and hog products. Germany raises over
million more hogs this year than last, and the
interest has become strong enough to demand
protection, with a chance of securingit In other
countries of Europe there is also large in-
crease. In years of abundant corn we can easl-
~ lay down our pork on European markets
cheaper than the Europeans themselves. but at
the present prices Of the great staple it is
doubtful whether we will be able to cOmpete
with production there. To be shut off from Ger
many, where meats always command good
price and which has been one OF our best GUS
toners, would be serious matter.
The export of farm products has been some
what on the decline. There have been, during
the week ending November 8. exported 4, 900 600
pounds less OF fresh beef 600, 900 less of but
ter and over 600 900 less of cheese. 1t Is some
what OF puzzle where the usual foreign buyers
procured their supply of these products
Later reports show an increase of the export
figures.
With the crops on the move eastward and con-
tinued fair weather there is good prospect Of
early Improvement in fall trade.

WARNING FROM HERERT SPEN-
GER.
The High Pressure Life Of Americans
too Heavy TO Rear.


The English philosopher and thinker. Herbert
Spencer, was rendered a complimentary dinner
by over two hundred New York gentlemen at
DelmonicO's last Thursday night. William NJ.
Evarts presided. Among the guests were VIM.
H. Hurlburt, Charles A. Dana and Henry Ward
Beecher. After giving thanks for the cordial
reception, Spencer said:
1t seems to me that in one respect Americans
nave diverged widely from savages. 1 do not
mean to say they are in general unduly civil
| iZed. Throughout large parts of the popu-
| lation, even in long settled regions. there
| is no excuses of those virtues needed for the
| maintenance of social harmony. especially
out in the west. The means of dealings
do not yet betray too much Of the sweet
ness and light which we are told
distinguishes the cultured man from
the Barbarlans. Nevertheless, there is
a sense in which any assertion is true.
You know primitive man lacks the power
of application. Spurred by hunger, by
danger. by revenge he can exert himself cner-
geticallyfor time; but his energy is spasmodic.

creased his aptitude for persistent industry.

American, eagerly pursuing future good. almost
ignore, what good the passing day offers him,
| and when future good is gained, he neglects
that. while striving for some still renOter good.
What have seen and heard during my stay
among you has forced on me the belief that this
slow change from habtual inertness to perss-
tent activity has reached the extreme from
which there must begin cOunterchange-a re-
action. Everywhere 1 have been struck with
the number of faces which told in strong lines of

haired men, and Inquiries have brought out the
fact that with you the hair commonly begins to

TO stress OF business, or named friends who had
either killed themselves of OverwOrk, or had

The GIaring Fault that the Horse Re-
porter Discovered i'm a Love Story.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Good day, gentlemen"
A very nice-looking young man stood in the
doorway of the editorial room and gazed in a
benign way at the occupants of the apartment.
"WOuld it be possible for me to sell the
Tribune story?" he continued
what kind of story have you ground out?"
asked the horse reporter.
"The story" said the visitor, 'is one in which
the triumph of love is depicted. and
at isn't one of those and as Ethel stood there
in the soft moonlight, her 1.-the figure sharply
outlined against the western sky there was

that her mother had dropped the doughnut jar

There is nothing at all about doughnuts in
this story, replied the visitor, rather hauGhti-

"Anywhere," replied the horse reporter.
"Suppose YOU give US the last sentence OF it,
Il should hardly think"
"Oh, never mind that We do all the thinking
for young authors that come up here
The visitor seated himself and read as follows:
For answer Gladys beautiful eyes dropped,
but she gave him both her hands. and there
under the heavy fruited trees. the golden bees
flying all about them, and the air filed with
breast. and raising her long rnglets to his lips,
kissed them reyerently.'"
That's the last sentence, is it," asked the
horse reporter.
''Yes. sir"
Il should hope it was. 1t makes me tired to
read about such ducks"

''Of course you don't. Probably YOU were
the hero of the novel. Did you ever hear of
ThOmpsOn's cOlt?"
The visitor admitted his ignorance concern

reporter, twas such an eternal idiot that he

Probably not. 1t is not to be expected of

Certainly"
Now, what do you think of a young man
that would go nibbling around a girls back hair
when she had her face with her? Such stories
do not possess the fidelity to nature that should
ever characterize the work of genius. No. my
genial imbecile; you cannot get the weight of
