The Popular Game.

The growing popularity of the royal
game of whist as social amusement
serves to recall the saying of Charles
James Fox, that there was hut one
greater pleasure than losing at whist,
and that was-winning; and recalls,
also. the keener wit Of Canadian
lover of whist and everything English.
Colonel Ormond, a retired officer in
the English army, had long been
known for peculiarly robust and
penetrating profanity, and also for the
rat.tarrier tenacity with which he
contended in whist for the odd trick.
After playing his favorite game sixty
years for about eight nights in the
week, it is not strange that he died.
4" Colonel Ormond is dead, said Mr..
Wetmore, the morning after the
gallant Briton's demise.
"Ah?" said Mr.. Almon.
Yes" said Wctmore, "he'll not be
troubled any more about the odd
trick"
NO" said Almon, "but he'll have
more trouble about the last trump

Our little camp has this day the
appearance of some of the comedy
days when Typo was in its infancy.

A. Moore and D. Slender have re.
turned from Currant Creek, where
they viewed Richard Barnes bonanza.
They caused such an excitement here
that it nearly upset the town and some
what married the Thanksgiving ball.
A party left for the place of the dis
covery by private conveyance at 8 p. M.

Russian Proverbs.

As regards the treatment of a wife
by her husband, proverbs in Russia
differ. Love your wife. like your
soul, and beat her like your Shuba "
(oyercoat of furs), says one of the stern
class; to which another responds in
the same spirit, mot long hurt the
bumps from a loved ones thumps."
Wives have undoubtedly been sub
jected to much i'll treatment in Russia,
where many husbands have always
been of the opinion that liberty
spoils' a good Wife" Some Russian
proverbs are cynical as TO the adyan-
tages of matrimony. If the bachelor
cries "Oht Ohr'i the married man
cries " Al! All" and those who WED
once, wall always" One OF the brief
dramatic proverbs, tells mournful
tale: why so blithes" Pm going
to get married" "Why hangs your
head?" I've got married"

NEVADA'S PART.

The action OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee in naming the time
and selecting the place for the Conven-
ton of 1884 may fairly be said to lie the
initial movement of the Presidential
campaign. If we understand the mat
ter correctly, State Conventions must
be held not less than. thirty nor more
than sixty days. prior to the Sd of June,
the day designated for the meeting of
the National Convention. This will
bring the several State Conventions
between the 3D. day of April and the
3d day Of May Nevada is entitled to
six delegates, and we should like to
see the Convention held at Carson
somewhere about the 10Th or Goth of
April, which will allow the delegates
reasonable time to psepare for their
Eastern visit. The suggestion has
also been offered that at this same
Convention the Presidential electors be
named, and the Supreme Judge and
Congressman nominated. This will
obyiate the necessity of holding two
Conventions, although it will make the
canvass rather long for the two nomi-
pees.-Reno Journal.

. .sln Days OF DID,

I'm the early days of this century,
when white settlers in Florida were
few and far between, when every man
took his trusty rifle with him to tie
field and carried it with him as he
ploughed, the weapon became part
of his life, much uearer to him than
the wife who cooked his bacon or the
children who called him Pop and
stole his tobacco for surreptitious
chewing. Only the other day, doing
hisiweekly trading at the country store,
/ met Keen eyed veteran of "a, who in
years gone had lost wife and two
children at the hands of sGvages. Old
rs he is, this man is erect and hearty,
and can outwork and outwalk many
a man of half his age. He was miles
away from his home when the news
reached him that his farm had been
raided by a rowing band of Indians, his
house and outbuildings burned to the
ground and his, wife and two children
killed and scalpel, to make the ruin
all complete. Instead of wringing his
hands and bursting into tears, as one
of weaker mould might have done, he
exclaimed in passionate words: Yes,
d'by -, I'll bet they got my new
gun, too.'-Erchange.

THE PRESIDENT.

President Arthur is evidently pre-
pairing to try and succeed himself.
While he is what some call a political
accident, he has more ability than was
credited to him by strangers That he
is not at present the first choice of
majority of his party is probably true,
but his course has been such as to
make him friends, and should he
succeed in the Convention, his nomina.
tion would be ratified. Simply be
cause he was unknown as a politician,
except locally, previous to bis nomina-
ton, does not indicate that he is not
equal in ability to many who are
recognized leaders of their party.
There are many men of brains in the
councils of either party whose advice
guides the movements of those who
are supposed 10 be the leaders, and
Mr.. Arthur, since he has occupied the
White House; has shown that he is not
simply figure head, but that, UNI
known to the rank and full of his
party, he was as much entitled to the
honors of leadership as many whose
names are more frequently spoken.
His nomination by the Convention
would not be distasteful, and there are
favorites who would at first excite
greater enthusiasm. 1t is not fair to
him that his previous obscurity should
be used against him.

His Annual swear on,

A distinguished physician, whose
habit is to smoke five or six cigars
every evening, but none at all during
the day, has long pursued the plan of
not smoking at all during the month of
October. His idea, he says, is to allow
his system to recuperate thirty days
annually. The effect of tobacco, in
his case, is slight acceleration of the
movement of the heart, THIS accelera,
ton becomes clearly defined by the
end of every September, but ceases
entirely at the beginning of November,
after this period of abstinence, leaving
him in good condition for another

Popular Voice Fer Pres:den-
 tiaI Candidates.

The New York Times has sent communications to over four hundred different places ln the United States to try and find what are the popular preferences for Presidential candl dates of both the parties. It re ceived replies from 344 points, aa average of nine to each state. The persons communicating have endeaV- ored to get at the popular prefer ences without reference to the opln ions or desires of tho writers. The preference for Republican candidates are as follows: Blaine, 103; Arthur, GA; Edmunds, 57a; General Grant, l9; John Sherman, 12; etc, out of 344 replies. Blaine's strength, out side of his own State, Is greatest in the Middle and Western States, near ly all of which are Republican. Pres dent Arthur Is second in popularity to Blaine, and Senator Edmunds third.
 The choice of all the States for the varlous Democratic candidates is as follows: TIlden, 120; Mcdonald 72I; Bayard, 31I; Hancock, 25; But Ter, 20I; Thurman. 17I; Cleveland, Il, etc. California's preference IS stated thus: Democratic, Thurman, 4; Republican, Blaine, 8; Edmunds, l. Thus 1t will be seen that Blaine leads very largely in popularity for the Republican candidates, having nearly one third of the whole number of preferences.
 Tilden Is still stronger among tine Democrats than Blaine among the Republicans, having nearly two-1fths of the Democratic preferences.
 These are supposed to be the spon- taneous sentiments of the people and not of the political managers and wire workers. It is yet nearly ayear to the time of the meeting of the nominating conventions and no man can tell what events may occur, to change the whole political outlook, before that time.

A Wealthy Corporation.

The Northern Pacific Railroad Company promises to be one Of the richest railroad corporations in the United States. Its grant of lands an,ctn...s la 4S.2l5.040 acres. This Jand. f sold al the rates obtained 2or land during the past ear, will bling the enormous sum ofmore than S192, 860,0O0. It Is probable that 1t will sell for even more.
 Suppose the road has cost-which itEhas not-S100,000,000, tae lands of this company will pay the whole cost of the road and have a surplus of over S92 100000. In other words, the government has given this com pany a first class railroad across the continent and paid them bonus of $92,000,000 for experimenting the building and running of the road.
 We hope this is the last case of grants of lands to any railroad or any other corporation in the country. The government treasury has been for years plethoric with money. How much better it would have been for it to have built this road, saved the land for the people and run theroad in the interest of the whole people.
 The fact is. tue whole people of the United States have had too much of a railroad craze. We have dis counted the future at a tremendous shave and will be long years paying for the effects of our folly.
 The utterance of Governor Booth. made twelve years ago, 'that if the government built railroads it should own them," was full of wisdom, In stead of that the government has built railroads and siven them away. San Jose Mercury.
