THAT HrsToRY.-For the first time,
Sunday, we took look at the so-called
History of Nevada" and confess We
were greatly disappointed, for it was not
what it was represented that it would be
by the agent who was in Phoebe thirteen
months ago. 1t is different book alto
gether. The book appears to have been
gotten up for the sole purpose of bringing
before the public the pictures of a mum.
Der of the unknown and obscure people
in Nevada, who were willing to pay from
fifty to two hundred dollars to get them
in the book, with short biography. The
very hest public men ever in Nevada,
who ma lie and stood by the State, but
are now dead and gone, are ignored by
ths so-called history; yet many men
who would ruin the State if they could,
and who have endeavored for years to
destroy Nevada, are portrayed in grand
style. As to the pictures OF the ladies
in the book, oh, horrors! They are
stigma upon the fair daughters of the
Silver State. The wretches must have
hunted up the oldest, coarsest, ugliest;
in fact. the most homely looking
women in the State, and persuaded them
into the belief that they were handsome,
80 they would pay to have their pictures
in the book. However, it is WELL
known fact, that pretty ladies never
do make handsome pictures. But then,
if this book should happen to make its
way toward the rising sun, the people
there would certainly form a wrong opin-
ion of our ladies. After thoroughly in.
specting the engravings, the mechanical
work being very fair, we feel grieved to
state, that the only intelligent appearing
people who had their photographs in the
book, were the mules harnessed to the
freight wagons We intend no insult by
this comparison-to the mules. In regard
to the chapter devoted to Lincoln county,
which we hurriedly glanced at, we
found several gross misstatements in
regard to occurrences happening in this
county. As history the book is fail
ure, but as photograph album of Gun.
known People and Would.be Somebodies
Of Nevada" it is perfection. We are
glad to note that there was not one per.
son in Lincoln county who was foolish
enough to ''ante" and make goose of
himself by having his picture placed in
the book.
DIDN'T BELIEVE IT.--During a recent
meeting of tho brethren at Panaca,
when one of the pillars Of the Church
Of Latter.day Saints was addressing the
congregation, the old man became quite
enthused in telling his experience, and
informed the audience that he, when a
young man, had himself personally
spoken with Jesus Christ. A young ram
Of the flock present, who had his doubts
about the matter, remarked, in an audible
voice, that he believed that the old
man was lying old fraud. The youth
who expressed his doubts as to the truth
fulness of the old herders statement has
been bounced from the Church and
consigned to damnation forever and ever.
Thus are the wicked punished. Young
men, take warning.
IT is these cold nights, when a fellow
gets into cold bed, brings his knees up
to his chin and shivers, and presses the
extra pillow to his bosom to keep him
warm, that he discovers the great in.
conveniences of single blessedness You
bachelors, just imagine how much more
agreeable and comfortable it would be to
have nice little wife, who would get
into bed first and make warm spot for
you to come and crowd her out of as soon
as you got ready, and instead of pressing
cold pillow to your manly bosom you
would press the warm person of your little
wife. However, pillow has its advant-

ever heard of pillow clipping with an.

IT took Piocher to discover why a
smoothing. iron is called sad-lron. A
man, with large lump on his head, in
formed us that the reason the smoothing
iron is called "sad-iron," is because
when woman hits her better.half over
the head with an iron, it always makes
him feel "sad in being ironed in that
outrageous manner.
PAHRANAGAT DISTRICT. In the near
future the Valley Company, whose head.
quarters are at Cincinnati, will probably
resume work ON their property in Pah.

of the old mill at Hike starting up again,
