We confess to q sense Of disappointment
in looking over the committee as recently
made in the United States Senate, in not
seeing Senator Jones' name at the head of
some important committees. He is a mem.
Der, however, Of the two i'm portant com
mittees, Finance and Commerce. For
Senator Fair we had not expected a chair
manship, as he belongs to the wrong side
in the Upper House, as regards distin-
guished appointments. We find him on
the Committee of Woman Suffrage. Ac-
cording to the logic Of the situation, his
financial ability would have secured him q
place on the Committee Of Finance, but
then there is no logic in q situation like

How One Serious and One Gay GEN.
tleman Made she Rounds.
Two well known gentlemen Of Eureka,
neither Of whom is in the habit Of giving
way to such relaxation, visited the public
schools yesterday. They started in down
below among the tots and finished their
tour among the big boys and girls in the
Principals department. One Of the two
gentlemen referred to is . serious gentle
man and the other q wag. II 10 true
nevertheless that they both went to q
place above all others calculated to inter-
est them. The work in Q schoolhouse il
grave enough to inspire anybody
of that turn Of mind to lecture or
s~ermonize; while there is nobody with .
spark of humor in his composition who
can spend an hour among school children
without seeing or hearing something rich
and original. On the lower floor, among
the urchins, the serious gentleman en-
ployed his time ~proftably in conducting
some exercise or other in each of the de-
partments. We hear that he appeared at
home as q ~pedagogue, giving the teachers
some valuable hints and entertaining the
children who appreciate anything natu-
rally said or done in the schoolroom, es-
pecially if it is out Of the usual order to
which they are accustomed or m to
them from q person whom they never saw
before. In the meanwhile the humorous
visitor managed to keep himself and the
boys and girls as well occupied on every
comicality that the situation gave rise to.
1t was q glorious excuse he made
for them every now and then to
break down and laugh until the tears
came, and it was sort OF q
picnic for the teachers, for although they
cultivate generally a solr air, they, too,
on occasion, like to laugh in school. It was
daughter holding both his sides" down
stairs all the way round. There was not
so much OF the merry gods humor up
stairs, but when you travel with q joker
you never can know how long his fancies
will be dormant, or how soon he will put
you on nettles. The grave school visitor,
in rising to the second story in the temple
Of ru~dimentary learning, left off teaching
and contented himself with listening to
the routine exercises of the bigger pupils
without showing any disposition to take
the lead any more. The wag who never
misses his opportunity, observed this
phenomenon Of abrupt silence and did not
hesitate to comment on it in q loud tone,
so that all the boys and girls could hear
and enjoy the shot: Whats the matter
now? Is the cir too thin for you up here ?
You ran the institution down stairs; why
don't you do some teaching up here 2"
The pupils laughed, Of course, but the
serious gentleman oiled the irregularity
with 8 face of stern dignity after . mo-
ment's flush. 1t was a fine recreation all
around; anyway, for the visitors. grave
and gay, for the teachers and for the
children thumbing the primer, up to those
who. for sweet physiology's sake, inspect
the entrails Of the COW and the sheep.

COMSTOCK MINING NOTES.
Hirainia Enterprise, Dec. 10.

Virginia Enterprise, Dec. 10.
Good progress is being made in the I'm
perial drift, and it will now soon reach the
region of the old upper levels.
The drift on the 300 level Of the Sierra
Nevada, from the east station, is GU about
twenty feet. Although it was intended to
be run in a northeast course the drift is
going nearly east, following the ore
streaks found in the station. These
streaks are of variable width, but still
carry with them the paying streak OF gold
quartz.
Since Sunday they have been having
considerable trouble at the Combination
shaft on account Of the breaking Of the
rod of the Cornish pump. Though they
have kept the tanks and the donkey
pumps going at a lively rate the water
came up over the 5000 station. They
probably completed repairs and got the
Cornish pump going again last evening
at S or 6 o'clock. This pump will take
the water out at once and allow Of the re-
sumption of work on the 1900 station.

cases appealed. Time was made for slaves.

Difference is In obedience to the wishes
Of the business men and planters Of
that region, who 80 far, in the main,
back the undertaking, and in the
event Of q reasonable encouragement
at the hands Of ou. merchants, it is to
be submitted to the patronage OF the

business men will avail themselves OF
this opportunity to link that section to
the trade OF Memphis by an
added tie to come from their
liberality. For whether the trade along
White river has been neglected, and
the operations Of our merchants con
fined to the railroad towns, there is nc
doubt Of its merchants finding theil
way to st. Louis and Louisville, wher
in isct the preference is to buy in the
Memphis market. The object is t
invite immigration, and to attract the
attention Of capitalists to the extraor,

to effect such an end subscription il
