Short Sermons.

Soft words scald not the mouth.
Care makes a man old before his
time.
Have no friends you dare not bring
home.
If you SOW thorns, you will not
reap roses.
Don't spare the butcher and fee the
doctor.
One mans fault should be another
mans lesson.
He who gives before we ask will
give when we ask.
Stand on your head, and the world
will be upside down.
Do noble things, and dream them
all day long.-Charles Kingsley.
Lay by a good store of patience,
but be sure to put it where you can
find it.
The man who knows only his own
side of the case knows little of that
j. Stuart MIL.
To persevere is ones duty and to
be silent is the first answer to
calumny.-W Washington.
A weak mind is like microscope,
which magnifies trifling things, but
cannot receive great ones.
The books which help you most
are those which make you think the
most. The hardest way of learning
is by easy reading.-zheodore Parker.
Honor and virtue are ornaments of
the soul, without which the body,
though it be really beautiful, ought
not to be; thought so.-Don Quirote.
Unless a man has trained himself
for his chance, the chance will only
make him ridiculous. A great occa-
sion is worth to a man exactly what
his antecedents have enabled him to
make of it, William Matthews.
The most tritiing actions that
affect mans credit are to be regard
ed. The sound of your hammer at
five in the morning or at nine at
night, heard by a creditor, makes
him easy six months longer; but it he
sees you at q billiard table or hears
your voice at q tavern, when you
should be at.work, he sends for his
money the nett day. Franklin.

VIRGINIA CITY, Nevada, May H.
The divorce suit of Theresa Fair VS..
Jas. G.. Fair came up in the district
court this morning. r. S. Merrick
appeared for plaintiff, and NJ. F.
Stone of this city, and S. M. Wilson,
of San Francisco, for the defendant.
Stone submitted a general demurrer
to the complaint on the ground that
it did not state facts sufficient to
constitute cause of action. The de-
murrer was submitted without argu-
ment and was at once overruled by
the court. Mr.. Stone then said the
defense would file no answer to COM
plaint. Merrick asked that the court
appoint a time to-day to hear proofs,
also that the examination be con-
Quoted privately. The court ap-
pointed IL o'clock M. for the pu1 pose
specified. At IL o'clock the court met,
the reporters were excluded, and in
little less than an hour the attorneys
came out and it was soon known
that a decree of divorce had been
granted as prayed for, and that the
plaintiff had been allowed four mil
lion two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars in money and United States
bonds, and the family residence in
San Francisco. Also the custody of
three minor children, Virginia, The
resa Alice and Charles. The custody
of James G.. Fair, Jr., was awarded
the defendant. Senator Fair arrived
this morning from San Francisco on
husiuocs oOn ~ oeta6 with the sale of
the Brunswick mill and the pending
transfer of the Yellow Jacket mine
to the Sharon party. The transfer
of the entire business will take place
about the end of the present month.

and the magnificent vein in the 100

der is that Alice stock sells at so
low q figure on the New York board,
and the only explanation is upon the
theory of q loss of public confidence,
after the cessation of dividends
which caused the break il the stock
last year. In conversation with
president Walker he expressed the
opinion that if the public knew the
real value of the property the shares
would sell at q higher figure, and
said that the cessation of dividends
meant simply the application of
profits, which would otherwise be
distributed in dividends, to improve
ments and accessions to the property
which increased its value to share
holders hundred per cent. more
than enough to compensate them for
the loss of dividends. Among these
improvements and accessions, he
mentioned the new NJ C& V hoist
which is one of the finest in the
camp, new hoisting works at the
Alice, a complete reconstruction
Of the pump system, improved
machinery at the mills and
the purchase of the Magma
Charta and Valdemere, which are
valuable properties. adding 1900 feet
on the lode to the ground previously
owned by the company. When
these facts become generally known
we predict a much higher market for
Alice stock.
THE sHoNBAR
was looking better than ever yester-
day. Superintendent Jos. LaCaff is
pushing developments in the 25O foot
east drift, where on Friday, an 18
inch vein of high grade ere came
in which is widening with the
drift. The ore had not been assayed
but it carries heavy native silver and
considerable wire, with black sui
phurets, and will go into the hun
dreds. Seven hundred tons of ore
carrying from IS to 20 ounces of sill
yer, are on the low grade dump at
the Shonbar, which is getting larger
from day to day and with imprC we'd
reduction facilities will sometime
prove mine of wealth in itself.
THE MOULTON
is working q full force and every
thing is running with the accus-
toned regularity. The slopes of the
200 and 800 are looking well and
yielding their usual out put of ore.
The fifty foot east drift from the air
shaft is now in 100 feet, ,thesentire dis
tance having uncovered the vein a
width of33 feet showing no diminu-
ton in grade. The mill is making
a steady run and the ore house is full
with its sides bulged out by the pres
sure of the immense weight.

Among the annOyanceS experienced by the
presidential party on their southern trip was the
refusal OF strict construction conductor to
pass them over his road, notwithstanding the
representations made to him that they were the
Invited guests OF the railroad company; and IL
was only after much parley that he consented to
wait for his fare until the railroad authorities
eoulf be consulted The President Of the United
States was thus for a time put in the humlliatng
position OF seeming t. seek TO ''dead-head his way
On his travels south or course the President in
cepting the hOspitaltes OF the railroad company
was only following "A custom OF long standing:
but all the same the American people do
not relish seeing their Chief Magistrate put in the
attitude OF accepting favors from these great rail-
road corporations. The same feeling prevails in
regard TO the acceptance Of passes and other
favors by members of Congress from the railroads
These colossal corporations are day by day in
creasing in power and coming more sharply in
antagOnism with public interests. The people are
preparing TO make stand for their rights, and
they prefer that their representatives in Con-
greSS, and In the state legislatures shall not
place themselves under any obligations, however
slight, 10 the railroad corporations.

Brady. S. W. Dorsey and Vale, as witnesses in

In everything pertaining TO star route matters.
MI. John W. Dorsey departed a little from this

however, must have enlightened him somewhat
as 10 the extent OF the wrong he did, and con-
WINGED him that his miSdeeis were on a larger
Scale than he In his blissful ignorance supposed.
The witness admitted to having sworn to conflict
ing ani1yitS in relation 10 certain routes.
He had also given evidence OF his implicit conf
dence In Rerdell by swearing to statements OF the
latter as facts within his own personal knowledge
Mr Dorsey did not, however, include this reckless
swearing among the little peccadillOeS to which
he confessed His testimony was as cOmprOmis-
Ing 10 his brother as 70 himself At the very time,
when according TO 5. W. DOrsey's testimony, the
