1t is m an1sthetic which suspends

The cheerful little home of Rev.
George II. Davis and wife was filled
in every nook and corner by friends
and parishoners, who cam to pay
their congratulations to the happy
pair on the event of the thirty ffth
anniversary of their wedding day. The
occasion was a happy one, Mr.. Davis
and his wife doing all in their power
to make their guests feel al home.
During the evening the jolly Rector
was presented with Il wel.llled purse,
the gift of his pensioners; he was
also adorned by Judge Sabin with an
elegant silk lined smoking jacket.
Pleasant remarks passed TO and fro,
and at midnight all present partook of

1t is reported that Sergeant Bates has
lost his mind Very few people will
think that his head has lost much in
weight. The American people love to
be humbugged and this fellow who
unsteadily balanced himself on the
line between knavery and stiffness,
took advantage of the general desire
and by carrying flag over the coun.
try made more money than an honest,
hard working man could in ten times
the time and with one.hundred times
the labor. Although his friends as.
sert that his mind is unsettled, he
shows lingering of method and
wants to start again on flag-carrying
tramp. 1t is only necessary in this
country to be brazen enough to assume
virtue and fool enough not to be re.
strained from swindling absurdities
by sclf.contempt to make money from
humbug loving public. America is
the Paradise of tramps as has been
often shown, and will be shown again.
After Sergeant Bates came men who
trundled wheelbarrows across the
continent and made money out of
their nonsense, and now comes along
another knavish idiot who expects to
make fortune by pushing a hand
cart. This vagrant was, at first, not
successful because he was not heralded
by the telegraph but having been laid
up for repairs and board bills in Salt
Lake City, he has been advertised and
may now expect to gather a harvest
from the pockets Of verdent sight.

Whirled Around by ii Revolving
Shalt.

Mr.. John Byron. citizen of Union
County, had miraculous escape from
death in Mr.. George Wilson's mill a
short distance from Monroe, day be
fore yesterday. He was standing by
a revolving shaft, when it caught his
clothing and instantly be was being
whirlel around al fearful rate. The
shaft was fortunately several feet from
the ground, which allowed his body to
go over and over without coming in
contact with anything. So rapidly
did he revolve that one of his shoes
was thrown from his foot and went
over the engine. When his clothing
had been torn entirely of he dropped
TO the ground in an insensible condi-
ton. A shirt sleeve band and one
shoe was all the clothing that re-
NAMED on his body. An examination
proved that no bones were broken.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
TALK.


The Tuscarora Times Recieo takes
the BULLETIN to task for opposing a
Constitutional Convention. The editor
OF the Times. ReDien holds that the rail
road companies wish the special legis-
lation clause retained. This is one of
the rules which work both ways some
companies want the clause retained,
others do not. So far rs special legis-
latlon is regarded there are good argu
ments on either side, and it might be
that the State of Nevada would do as
well without as with the restriction
clause. But it is generally believed
that the omission Of that clause was
the object of those who had the conven-
tons adopt the resolutions calling for
convention. The editor of the Times
Itco5eao was in Carson during the entire
session and paid close attention to all
that was done or said. He will remem.
Der that the convention question was
freely discussed, and thai "A majority
of both houses agreed that although
their party conventions had pledged
candidates to convention, it was not
the wish of the people. The same
difficulties experienced by the Legis-
lature, in agreeing upon amendments,
will be met with in convention.
The Tt,ccs- Reeieo says;

good, bad and indifferent, which was
introduced, but four we're agreed upon

that the people cannot direct through

ANCIENT RACES.

but the weight Of scientific opinion is
against the theory that they are tracks

that the great tracks are not those of

Archaeological research in other parts
Of the State will be rewarded by indis-
putable traces of forgotten races. In
almost every county are to be found
rocks covered with hieroglyphics,
which suggest no meaning to the In
dians and about which they have no
traditions. 1t has been suggested
that these strange marks chiseled
with great labor on the surface of hard
rocks were simply the aimless pastime
Of the people of long ago. If it could
be shown how amusement would be
derived by ignorant savages from the
dull process of chipping unmeaning
lines in hard stones, this explanation
might meet with favor, but otherwise
II will remain the belief Of majority
who have seen any of this ancient
work that there was design in the
tracing Of the characters. The most
remarkable of all these traces of a lost
people are TO be found at the Big Bend,
on the Carson river. They have not
been visited by scientific men and have
scarcely been mentioned, but when
someone yersed in Aztec lore inspects
them be will probably declare that they
were made by race from which de-
scended the tribes that went down into
Mexico and were conquered by Cortcz.
In the City of Mexico, Cortez and his
followers found Il great dial on which
the Mexicans computed time. This
dial showed that the makers Of it had
some little knowledge of astronomy
but their idea of time was limited to
cycles of fifty years. AT the end of
each Of these 1t was supposed by them
that j. their sacred fire went out, the
world would be destroyed. Should
the fire remain burning, the world had
another period of fifty years before it,
and time bcganagain. The years were
denoted on the dial by circle of dots
near the rim, with the sacred fire repre-
scented as the beginning and ending of
the circle. On the hard iron rocks
near the Carson river, are great mum.
bers of curious characters, including
rude representations of men, serpents.
etc. In connection with these picture,
is always found the circle Of dots and
nearly always figure which can easily
be imagined to be the attempt Of un-
skillful hands at representing the altar
and fire. Should those stone tracings
be examined by some one capable of
determining their Specification it
would possibly be learned that what is
now the State Of Nevada, was at one
time the cradle of the ancient Mexican
civilization, and thus another link be
added to the chain of evidence which
ethnologists are constructing IN their
search for the origin of the different
races of mankind.

A VERY respectable religious sect
has its stronghold in America on the
head-waters of the Monongabela. The
members are known as Dunkards.
They wear long hair, baptise by dip

the New Testament is Good Book
enough for them. OF all the unortho-
dox, or holders of peculiar creeds in
the United States, the Duukaris are
probably the most correct in their de-

TIE Oakland Tines is the most
ably edited Democratic paper on the
Coast, but it sometimes goes astray. 1t
predicts Democratic success in Iowa
this year because the preachers are
working for the Republican party.
Religious feeling does not influence
political action in that State in
either direction, nor does the morbid
dislike of some people to Christian
teachings move them to change their
politics. 1t would require fair
share of the fires OF Hades to melt the
snow drift Of ballots under which the
Democratic party was covered at the
last election in Iowa.
