CURED last evening, His Honor, the Mayor,
presiding. Present, Messrs Holden, Files,
Merrill, Fox and Bradley
The records for the month were read and
approved.
The supervisors reported on their various

The Superintendent of Schools reports that
the last week he had, in company with the
superintendent of buildings, visited all the
school houses and inspected them throughout,
and that their sanitary condition has been
very much improved within the past five or
six years. The cellars are clean and dry; the
tank system for the water closets is in use in
all, except the North and West schools; the
ventilation, while good in some of the build
ings, in others it is very poor, but is very diff
ferent in similar rooms according to the care
given to it by the teachers. DR.. Files has this
whole subject under consideration, and is to
make full report en- the same at the next
meeting.
Several of the school rooms are reported as
having more pupils than seats.

he be granted the free use of the laboratory in
the evening for the purpose of giving similar
lectures to laboring men.
The subject of instruction in stenography in
the High school was brought up by Col. Mer-
rill, and the desire of many of the pupils to
take the same set forth, but as there is no
available means at present to procure instruc-
tion the subject was laid over.

mendation of the superintendent, Miss Scanlan

if of Elko county brought to the

was severely wounded before
his capture, i, still very sick,
and was placed on u blanket in
the bed of Bray'scXpress wagon,
in which he was conveyed to
the prison. He is very attrac-
tive young man and evidently
intended for Il more honorable
career. The rest are 4 hard

Cane Presentation

Thursday night Sam Wagner,
the colored Porter Of the Assem-
bly,, was presented with gold
headed cane by the members of
that body. Not to be out done
by the Republican Assembly in
its consideration for the colored
race, Senator Dennis yesterday
morning levied an assessment
upon a number OF Democratic
Senat tors and purchased an ele-
CANT gold-headed stick, more
expensive than that given to
the Assembly attache, and pre-
scented it with few appropriate
remarks to Richard Elliott Esq. 9,
(of Farquah county, Nlrginia),
Mr.. Wagner's colleague in the
Senate. Dick responded in a
happy strain, and the PROBABLE
tiles are that he is at the present
writing the happiest darkey

the service with the following
remarks
During many years Of my
ministry IN this city few sadder
tasks have been allotted me
than the one placed in my hands
to-day. Death brings to our
minds many truths not realized be
! fore. How often do We lay away
the body Of SOME one highly
honored in his life time. We
perform the last rites with due
/ pOmp and circumstance OF detail,
Yet before We reach our homes
, we become aware OF the fact
that after all the man really
deserved but little Of the world
and despite his high station he
was easily spared and but little
missed. Men cringeG and fawned
before him, and he is gone. Some
simple minded man furnished
with but little Of the worlds
goods and hardly any of the
blessing OF life, disappears from
our daily walks and We are
startled at realizing how much
we feel his absence and how
much We lacked IN a true APP
probation Of his merits while he
lived.
The man who knows his own
natural capacities and strives TO
occupy the position in life best |
suited 10 the gifts. how ever |
humble, which will result. in the !
fullest measure Of usefulness to !
his fellow men, is a man Of |
brains and honest purpose. A |
man who strives to fill positions |
beyond his powers, IS either a
knave or a fool. How |
few Of us have the
good sense or modesty to
know our place in life.
It is often through senseless /
ambition that ships are wrecked, |
that strong organizations are
failures, that dynaslins are
wiped 0ut. | hold that our |
friend lying before Us filed his
mission well. While with d sure
eye and steady hand he guided
his human charges over the
dangerous grades of the noun
tain, he was mere deserving OF his
fellow men than some vain
Prince overrating his capacities
and leading an army into the
Jaws of needless destruction. Too
much credit cannot be given
man who follows humble call
ing and takes an honest pride
in doing all his work well.

the pleasant journeys | had with
him through the canyons and
