With the death OF Peter
Cooper passes away one of the
modest men of the century. He
accumulated great wealth and
disbursed it for the good of his
fellow men. While Gould and
Vanderbilt were grinding the
poor in New York Cooper was
tightening their burdens and
their lives. If all the millionaire
monopolists of America had
died q year ago the soul of Peter
Cooper would have beaten them
a dozen lengths in reaching the
gates of Paradise.

MAZE DEFINITE CHARGES

The defense made by the
Board of Asylum Commission
ers OH the street is that the Ne
yada Press Association attempt
ed to blackmail the Board and
failing to do this is now receiv-
ing money from the friends Of
DIR. Dawson to defend him. If
any member of the Board of
Insane Asylum Commissioners
will make definite charges in
this matter, by designating what
paper or what representative of
a paper ever attempted to black
mail the Board or any individ-
ual member of it, the columns
of this paper are open for the
use of any one of that Board.
Any member of the Board who
says that the Nevada Press AS
ISOLATION ever attempted to
blackmail the Board or that the
Press Association have received
n dollar from DR.. Dawson or any
friend of his for defending him,
or that there was ever any
promise or animation of fee or
reward for such defense, he is a
deliberate and malicious liar.

WHAT IS LIFE2

The mere lapse of years is not life.
To eat, drink. and sleep; to he ex-
posed to darkness and the light; to
pace around in the mill of habit, and
turn the wheel uf wealth; TO make
reason our book-keeper and turn
thought into an implement of trade
that is not life. In all this but poor
fraction of the consciousness OF hu-
mainly is awakened, and the sancti'
ties slumber which make it most
worth while to be. knowledge, truth,
love, beauty, goodness. faith, alone
can give vitality to the mechanism OF
existence the laugh of mirth that
vibrates through the heart, the tears
that freshen the day waste within,
the music that brings childhood back,
the prayer that calls the future near
the doubt which makes us mediate.
the death which starties US with
my sterr, the hardship which forces
us to struggle, the anxiety that ends
in trust are the true nourishments of
our natural being.

BLUE AND GRAY.

:'Oh, mother. what do they mean by blue?
And what do they mean by gray?'
Was heard from the lips of a little child .
As she bounded in from play. :
The mothers eyes filled up with tears
She turned to her darling fair,
And smoothed away from the sunny brow
Its treasures of golden hair.
"Why, mothers eyes are blue, my sweet,
And grandpa's hair is gray,
And the love we bear our darling child
Grows stronger every day."
But what did they mean?" persisted
the child;
''For saw two cripples to-day,
And one of them said he fought for the
blue;
The other. he fought for the gray.
Now, he of the blue had lost leg.
And the other had but one arm, t-~
And both seemed worn and weary and
sad,
Yet their greeting was kind and warm.
They told of battles in days gone by,
Till it made my young blood thrill
The leg was lost in the Wilderness fight,
And the arm ON Malvern Hill.
'sThey sat on the stone by the farmyard
gate
And talked for an hour or more.
Till their eyes grew bright and their
hearts seemed warm
With fighting their battles Ger.
And parting at last, with a friendly grasp,
In kindly, brotherly way.
Each calling on God to speed the time
Uniting the blue and the gray
Then the mother thought of other days
Two stalwart boys from her riven:
How they knelt at her side and, lisping,
prayed
''Our Father which art in heaven -
How one wore the gray and the other the
blue:
How they passed away from sight.
And had gone to the land where gray and
blue
Are merged in colors of light.
And she answered her darling with gold
en- hair,
While her heart was sadly wrung
With the thoughts awak ened in that sad
hour
By her innocent, pratthng tongue:
The blue and the gray are the colors of
God,
They are seen in the sky at even,
And many noble, gallant soul
Has found them passports to heaven"

MONTESQUIEU.

Montesquieu being at Marseilles,
tinds in the harhor on Sunday a boat
managed by youth of prepossess-
ing appearance. He enters it for a
ride in the bay. But soon, astonish.
ed at the want of skill of the sailor:

blushing. Excuse me, sir, but l am

The Philadelphia Times gives ex-.

the higher educatlon," it says, ''but
1T is the lower education that is real
ly important % most of US, and there
IS no more gratifying evidence Of

charge OF our public educational sys

the primary schools. The work of
the primary schools is the foundation
and the main structure of all public
education. Many children never go
beyond this, and in every case it is
the first bending of tue twig that de.
termines the inclination Of the tree.
We have been giving attention in
Philadelphia to high schools and
grammar schools, which are for the
few; the primary and secondary
schools, which are for the many, have
been left too much to chance and to
the ignorant blundering ofimperfect-

our public school system needs re-

braced in the last sentence quoted,

far as they are concerned. And the

The footmen jumped down and
unfolded the steps of the carriage,
whereupon a very quiet looking little
lady. in a black velvet pelisse and
close fitting black velvet bonnet,
descended, and bowling to the people
on either side, passed into the house,
followed by her lady in waiting and
two footmen.s ra .r,....-. .-.s.
The duty Of the latter was to wait
outside the inner door until the Queen
reappearcd, when they would follow
her down stairs again.
| When she walks about, it is with
very little ceremony. Her lady in
waiting accompanies her, and she is
followed by two footmen. AS she
passes through the streets it is Gus.
tomary for people to stand aside
gentlemen lifting their hats, and
ladies bowing as she goes by. o
Only once did l see the Queen ap.
pear with anysplendor. The day was
very fine, brilliantly so. indeed, and
we went down to one of the public
squares to hear, the military band
play. Every Gay at one o'clock a
detachment of soldiers marches
through certain streets of the town,
halting before the old palace where
double line of soldiers are drawn
up, who present arms and go through
a very effective bit of drill, the COM
manding officers riding up and down
in their shining uniforms,-blue and
white, with silver lace and splendid
helmets and plumes.a This over, the
band take their places on the portico
of a large building, where they play
for an hour, while half of Munich
walks about listening. sa7 .....au
| The drill was over the band was
crashing away at the march from
I'annhduse,', when there came riding
down the street a soldier on a fine
horse, whom we knew preceded the
Queen ON a state occasion, and then
followed her glass chariot, most
curious affair nearly all of glass
within which-shc was plainly to be
seen, bowling right and left-return
ing the salutations of the crowd. The
chariot was drawn by four forses, or
two Of which were positions who
loudly cracked their whips, while one
man blew horn. . gs.
AS we walked away, rather dazzleo

Il LOVE YOU"

"A tired woman hushed to sleep
her nesting babe. Beauty once
made her face radient. perhaps, but
all that beauty is gone now. The
blue eye is dim and faded, the pale
brow covered with lines of care.
Perhaps, with that far off look of
hers. she sees three little graves,
green with as many summers. Her
home is very humble. All day she
has toiled, and the fainting spirit
almost surrenders to fatigue; the
down-cast eyes tremble in tears, she
is so weary and every nerve tingles
when the boys come home hungry
from school, some with tale of sor.
row that a moth er must hear.
After they are hushed with kisses
or chidings, it is time to get supper
for hungry mouths, and the accus-
toned, never-ending routine of put.
ting away and cleaning up. till the
worn out creature wonders with a
sigh if there really will come a rest
to her-an eternal rest. s......
At last she can seat her weary
limbs in the old corner rocking.chair.
The babe, whose eyes close fitfully
to a lullaby, lies in its fathers lap.
He is a plain man, that good father,
with an honest face and great
heart, that would take in all the
cares and sorrows of tile household.
The babe sleeps. With a rude
gentleness he lays it on its mothers 8
bosom and as the ruddy freight
plays over her careworn features, he
looks upon her with eyes suddenly
grown lustrous and beautiful. He
lifts his great hand softly till it rests
on her shoulder, as he says; .-
81 love you, Mary"
How the poor heart leaps into
love, light rest! How vanish the
cares that trod upon her very soul.
She reflects not now that the pretty
babe with pink flushed cheeks against
her breast had worn her patience
thread bare with its constant fears
and unrest. She forgets that the
fire would smoke, the broth burn,
that the children teased her, that the
clothes line broke, and that every
limb in her frame ached with fatigue.
What are those in comparison
with the steadfast love that has
burned for eighteen years-in the
sunlight of happiness, through the
clouds of despair. when beauty made
her winning, and when her charm of
loveliness, had gone, and freshness
Of youth departed forever? What
care she for aught outside her home,
though she had many sorrows, while
such words thrilled her whole being I?
Il love you, Mary"
All! you long, long married, re
pining husbands who exact every
attention and duty, how much would
it cost to make your home thus
beautiful, with all its cares ? I tell
you, one word will loosen great bur-
dens from the shoulders Of the wo.
man you call wife. Try it. Go
home some night and look upon her
with the eyes of long ago. For one
moment think how great trials she
| took into her heart when she mar
ried you. Then tenderly clasp her
hand, and as she looks with wonder
opened eyes say to her in q low and
steady voice, not carelessly and
sportively. but earnestly:
Il love you." "@.-
Trust me, it will be to her and tc
YOU both better than diamonds.
