 Ore is accumulating at the srnelrer, and is coming in so rapidly as to make it necas- sary to hurry the third stack to completion The number of hands employed at the work including teamsters and hands at the mine amounts to about 25O, and as the capacity of the works is being steadily increased there is always good prospect for work fol steady men.-SocorFo Sun, The celebrated Ontario mine in Utah has declared dividend of S75,000, the first since last February.

Judge Blakely upon being called upon D said: Tkere IS perhaps nothing in the whole
 range of romance or history more full of remarkable events and touching events than , the simple story of the life and experience
 of many of our pioneers. If one was gifted
 to tell and dared to tell of the hoarded
 treasures of the heart, of what it had hoped.
 of what it had suffered; of it's long and bit
 ter struggles; it's triumphs: it's defeats, it's
 joys and sorrows; it's garnered affections
 and fierce settlements, the swelling tide of
 feeling would not be restrained by any
 force that could be laid upon it. The Judge
 then recalled some incidents of the time 1 they crossed the Colorado in company with
 Capt. White aud others who were present and found the hospitable homo of MT. and l Mrs. Potts at Cerbat, and said, in closing; l It is fitting that we should meet tonight In this home ever sacred to good-fellowship. for though not the original home of the friends whose wedding anniversary we cele- brate, it has ever been like that, homo of affection and generous hospitality. It IS not needful that should tell to the pic l neers present of the old home of MT. and Mrs: Potts at Cerbat. 1t is part of the history of our county and familiar to you all. It was ever good place to be. Tho presence of our fair hostess was ever pres enoe for good, and in the light of her home, he would be bad man indeed whose heart was not made better and his sins silenced at least for the time, and those already good, I am sure there could be seen in the bright ness of that light suggestions of the "bet- ter home" The claims of the homeless and the wanderer have never been overlooked at this hospitsble board and, as we drink to- night at this fountain of good fellowship, the struggles and the hardships of early days pass away and we no longer think of the trials and privations of pioneer life, but feel that we are a part of the great army of pioneers. whose work it is to clear the way fer newer and more perfect civilization which is already at our doors and whose representatives we welcome among us.
 MT. Stephenson and others were called on and responded, but We have not space to give their remarks. The reunion will long be remembered by the happy participants,

The Diamond Rattlesnake.



Ordinarily the jingle Of handful of
rings is not an unpleasant sound, but
when it happens that these rings are
fastened to six or seven feet Of serpent
as thick as mans wrists, and that ser.
pent Is armed with the whitest and
sharpest Of fangs, nearly an inch in
length, with cisterns Of liquid poison at
their base, the music does not seem
cheerful or inspiriting. The snake fam
lily are known to have but little regard
for the doctrine of moral suasion, are
apt to be rash in their conclusions, and
hasty in their actions, as well as pro-
foundry indifferent to argument or apol.
ogy, reason and politeness being entire
ly wasted on them. Only distance or
brute force suffices to restrain their
insane propensity to probe every living
thing within reach Of those delicate
needles Of worry. As the "big Indian"
among his lesser braves, so isthe diamond
rattlesnake of the Southern States
among other American serpents.
Dressed in brownish- colorcd coat plaided
with lighted lines in diamond shaped
blocks, and with dignity and independ-
ence stamped on every curve and motion,
the sleek, oily-looking rascal glides
slowly through "homok" and Scrub" a
terror to man and beast, turning aside
for none, nor going out of his way to at
tack any unless pressed ny hunger,
which seldom happens in this climate
where animal life abounds. As he
moves quietly along, his wicked little
eyes seem to emit greenish light and
shine with as much brilliancy as the
jewels of finished coquette. Nothing
seems to escape his observation, and on
the slightest movement near him he
swings into his fighting attitude, rails
ing his upper jaw and erecting his
fangs, which, in state Of repose,
lie closely packed in the soft muscles
of his mouth. The snake is not as nc.
tive as his copperhead cousin OF the
North, nor so quick to strike, but one
blow is almost always fatal. His fangs
are so long that they penetrate deep
into the muscles and veins OF his victim,
who has little time for more than q sin.
gle goodbye before closing his eyes for
ever. The writer has measured these
fangs, and in one instance found them
seven-eights OF an inch in length, and
not thicker than common needle, yet
perforated with hole through which
the greenish-yellow liquid could be
forced In considerable quantities. and in
the case above mentioned each OF the
sacs contained about half teaspoonful.
The fangs are only pierced about two
thirds their entire length, and are al
ways double, smaller pair lying imme-
diately under the others and ready for
use in case Of accident to the principal

Magnetic Healing.

DIR. E Robbins, the celebrated electric
and magnetic healer who lately arrived
in this city, is meeting with immense
success. His rooms are crowded daily
with patients anxions to get the benefit
Of his wonderful power. DIR. Robbins
discards the use of all medicines in his
practice and relies solely on the power
Of magnetism. He cures all kinds of
disease, such as pains in the hack, hips,
head or limbs, nervous debility, lum-
bago, general debility, rheumatism, par
alysis, neuralgia, sciatica, disease of the
kidneys, spinal diseases, torpid liver,
govt, seminal weakness, asthma, heart
disease, dyspepsia, constipation, erysipe-
las, indigestion, catarrh, dumb ague,
fevers, prolapsus uteri, etc., etc. Diseases
diagnosed without explanation from the
patient. Office hours. Q A. NJ. till PM.
MARVELLOUS CURE by MAGNETISM.
The undersigned take much pleasure
in recommending to those suffering with
disease and pain, DIR. Il. Robbins, of
1853 Main street, as a genuine magnetic
healer. We have had experience with
healers for 80 years past and he Is one
of the best we have ever met. Mrs.
Glover had been failing in health for six
months and on Jan. Sth was taken
worse with congestion of the lungs and
and complication of diseases. We
called in DIR. Robbins and without ex-
PLANTATION he correctly diagnosed her
case, describing her symptoms. Then
by laying his hands on the affected parts
instantly relieved her and after three
weeks treatment without medicine she
feels better than she has been for years,
and we cannot give too much credit to
the Doctor who by Gods help bias done
so much for her, and we know the
power is given him to do the same for
others. Come and see Mrs. Glover at
No. % Fort street and see if this is true.

An Unequal Match.


The beauty of the Capri girls is pro-
verbal, and many of the artists have
fallen captive to their charms, their
darkly brilliant eyes, half-0 Oriental type
of face, so enchanting for q painter.
Perhaps the most celebrated case was
that of the son of the Hon. Mrs. Nor
ton, the English poetess and author.
During his sojourn there, while paint.
ing Capri beauty, he fell in love with
and married her, huch to the disgust of
his high-born relatives; but it was a sor-
rowful affair for all concerned. The
mother never forgave the son the disap-
pointment he occasioned her, and the
future Lady GRAVITY was made to give
up her beautiful children to the English
relatives, that they might be brought
up and educated as became their fathers
station, while he fingered out some
years OF quasi happy existence, dying
at last from the effects of drinking.
His wife, Lady GRAVITY, the former
Capri beauty, now a middle-aged wo-
man with no traces of the fatal lowell
ness that caused her such unhappiness
in her domestic relations, still lives on
the island, and at long intervals her
children-married in England--come to
see their mother; but the influence of
another sort of life and society are
stronger than the ties of blood, and
there is little sympathy between them.

Mr.. Pancho Pico's Luck.

On the occasion of the railroad acct
dent, four miles south of Summer, about
o week ago, Mr. Pancho Pico, who had
two carloads Of cattle on the train, had
a narrow escape. At the time of the
derailing of the train he, with two 9TH
ers, was sitting in the caboose car.
When they first fslt the shock of the
car leaving the track they rushed to the
door and jumped off on the opposite
side and alighted in swamp, by this
means saving their lives. After extri.
eating themselves from the mud End wa
ter, into which they sank some depth,
the party devoted their attention to as
sisting the injured. Tn y first recovered
tho body of poor sproule. the fireman
who was killed, aud then assisted in
getting several Of the other train hands
from under the broken cars.
Mr.. Pico was also fortunate in saw
ing his cattle. Desiring to
have tho cars. in which the
stock was loaded in position where
they would be easy Of access, before
leaving Sumner he had them shifted to
the rear of the train, Immediately in
front of the caboose. When the rest Of
the train tipped over, these two cars re-
manned on the track and by this for
thought, Providential interposition, or
whatever it may be termed, he saved his
property, as, by presence of mind in
jumping from the caboose, he saved his
life

Whispering Gossips.
lReno Gazctte.l

In calling the roll of the worlds viii
lainy, Paul puts in the midst those per-
sons known in all communities as whis-
perers. Whisperers are always first
class liars. They are masculine and
feminine, with tendency to the major
ity on the side of those who are called
lords of creation. These creatures are
so small that they escape the fine tooth
comb of the law, They are to be found
everywhere, but their paradise is a
country town about the size OF Reno,
where everybody knows everybody.
The world to them is a whispering gal
lery. One man or woman set OH fire
with this hel.ish spirit will keep whole
neighborhcod aboil. When two or
three of these whisperers get together
they stir eauldron of trouble which
makes one think of the three witches
of Macbeth dancing around cauldron in
a dark cave. There is only one person
worse than q whisperer, and that is the
man or woman who listens without pro-
test. An ancient writer declares that
the slanderer and the man who believes
the SANDER ought both to be hanged,
the one by the tongue and the other by
the ear. That's gospel. Don't retail
gossip Don't cacklel

The Vienna Coffee House.

As was predicted in the HERALD, the
other day, the Vienna Coffee House,
First street, between Spring and Main
streets, hos already scored a success.
This, however, could not well have been
otherwise, Mr.. Charles Youngworth,
who has been known throughout the
Pacific Coast for the past thirty,two
years as successful caterer, being its
manager. He is q first-class cook but
his speciality is coffee. in the making of
which he stands unrivalled and defes
competition. Mr.. Youngworth, during
his long residence on this Coast has
made several fortunes. but. like so many
other Californians, the inducements
held out by tho Stock Board were too
muck for him and all went He has now
started in again to make another stake.
Major Reither, who served through
the war in the 4th New York Cavalry,
is associated with Mr.. Youngworth in
the Vienna Coffee House, and as both
have had large experience in the bust
ness, they are eminently qualified to
make the Vienna the resort of all who
appreciate delicious viands.

Ross and the Robbers.


Among others who gathered at the
Ogden depot to take look at the train
robbers on their arrival there, was Ross,
the heroic express messenger who, it is
said, has an old acquaintance with
Frank Francis, the chief of the gang.
The Pilot says; The greetings between
the would-be robbers and the man Who
stood them off, were quite cordial, and
Francis remarked that If they had
known Ross was in the express car they
would have let it alone, but they
thought it was the mail car. sYou
see what you gave me, said Ross, hold
ing up his hand. "\Vell, / got it after
wards, said Hawley; $50 we'rc even"
Ross asked the men why they did not
come into the car when the door was
split up, and one of them said that they
did not think it was healthy in there
Just at that time. After some further
conversation with the men, Ross moved
on and the crowd had chance to gaze
on the desperados until the train start.
