A VALUABLE STREET.
One of the Yarns Told gBy a Virginia City
New Newspaper.
Virginia City (Nev.) Enterprise.l

Virginia City New Enterprse.l
Our principal streets are receiving top
dressing of rock from the waste dumps to
put them In order for the coming winter.
Very frequently during the summer pieces
of good ore have been picked out from
among that dumped i'm the roadway by the
carts, but recently it was evident that
new waste dump had been attacked, as
there was an unusual preponderance of ore
in the material. It seemed, in fact, to be
nearly all ore. Close examination, how
ever, showed that a considerable amount of
what at the first glance seemed good ore
was very base, yet with this base was
mingled much rich black sulphuret ore.
From lot of this dumped on c street,
i'm front of Odd Fellows Hall, we took two
samples, which were crushed up together
and assayed by J. II. Ryan, of the Consol-
idated Virginia assay office, with the fol-
lowing result: Gold, Sl6i.75; silver, Slos;
total Ss32.7s.
This is pretty good "waste rock with

mill-man of Silver City 20 examine the
rock that was being dumped from the
street carts. At first he thought Il all base.
hut on hooking more carefully he began TO
find humps Of genuine black sulphuret ore.
and finally said ''This is better material
than most Of that now being taken out on

The assay given above was made after
this. and the opinion obtained from the

attributed his success to his unvarying
disregard of self, and that be intended to
continue to live on that principle. If
this reference 10 himself did not refute
the statement, his demand OF $4,000 per

GEORGE ii. PENDLEToN is perhaps the
most unpopular with his fellow Demo
Gratis at present of all the prominent men
in his party. Now that the party is in
power they want no civil service reform
in theirs. II poor George had supposed
that his party would have come into the
ascendency during his lifetime he would
have been as silent as clam ON the sub
ject OF reform. As it is he is getting un-
mercifully cudgeled. Reform and the
Democracy cannot rest peacefully in the

How People Enter a Car.


Have you ever noticed how different peo-
pie enter a car? 1t is study. The expe-
rieneed traveller drops into the first vacant
seat; if there are more than one, he takes
the one on the shady side. Here are two
ladies; they pass two-or three seats; they
are all alike, but neither seems to be just
the thing. They pass down the aisle, pass
more seats, walk back again to where they
came in, then carry their luggage hack to
the seats they first looked at, and drop
down exhausted. Now comes party just
from the farm. They don't ride much; the
old man leads the party, carries the baby:
the madam drsgs two small boys, and the
four take the side seat just by the door,
look around with n satisfied air, seem to
think they are in luck to get inside. But it
was a wild westerns passenger whose en-
trance was peculiar. He had been accus-
toned to riding in stage coaches; the door
Of q stage is on the side. and is about the
size of car window. The passenger knew
Of no reason why car should have door

open, and it was big enough, so he got in
fact.

ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSTER In his
annual report urges reform upon Con-
gress in the matter OF simplifying Grim
inal pleadings in the Federal courts.
There is plenty of good sense in the sug-
gestion, which if once adopted by Con-
gress would doubtless soon be followed
by state Legislatures throughout the
union, and great deal of time, money
and patience be spared and many offend
ers otherwise liable to escape be brought
TO justice. There is no longer reason
why the forms of indictments and GRIM
inal pleadings generally adopted genera
tions ago for no good cause should be
used in this age. IL is the fruitful cause
OF much disaster to the administration Of
Justice and often turps into farcical
proceeding whereby criminals go un-
whipt of justice when there should be a
speedy and certain trial, conviction and
punishment. Now that President-mak-
ing is over fora time let us hope and pray

JOHN B. GoUGH is a remarkable man,
not only intellectually but physically.
He is now approaching three score and
ten and has been upon the platform for
more than forty years, having, it is said,
leetured nearly three thousand times.
He has been literally in the gutter and
suffered from delerium tremens and has
experienced the horrors and wretched-
ness of drunkard's life, yet he is to-day
as agile as many a boy in his teens. He
is a remarkable example of what de-
termined self-control may do for man.
His life is lesson in Temperance as for
chile as any be ever delivered.

igan for their delay. it is certain that black
mailers would have pursued like course. Is it
not equally certain that in all the eight years
when Fisher and Mulligan have held these let
ters as a menace, Mr.. Blaine or his friends
could have made some terms for Settling with
his excessively sharp old partners2 No
such settlement has been made or sought Mr.
Blaine has defieG his enemies to fire all the shot
IN their lockers This last Volley is as Intellectual
as that which Mr. Blaine took in person on the
hoor of the House. It marks the end of all
serious efforts to discredit him with the Amer
ican people,"
The New York Commercial Advertiser says:
'The very letter on which stress SO tremendous
has been laid appears as No. ~ in the batch

beyond dispute that Mr.. Blaine did not at the
tlme OF his defense IN Congress. suppress the

and by the hands Of his foes, that Mr. Blaine
told the exact and literal truth in regard to this
document, just as it has already been demon
strated that he told the truth about the three
others. The public will judge by this signal IL
lustratlon of the unfairness with which, to serve
partisan end, Mr.. Blaine has been treated by a
reckless press.
The New York Tribune says: seMalice has over
reached itself at last The new letters published
for the purpose of injuring Mr.. Blaine 60
tar to viDdicate him. When Mulligan and
Fisher ransacked their correspondence eight
years ago for material to blacken Mr. Baine,s
reputation, their cold and deliberate malice re-
lected the letters now published. If there were
then IN their hands any which could have done
him harm, we may be sure those would have
been produced But the letters now printed,
though they contain no new charge. nor a scrap
OF evidence that tends to sustain any old charge,
do contain much that is of the greatest value to
Mr. Blaine. For tnat reason his aeeusers when
cool were shrewd enough to suppress them But
now they seepublic opinion moving forward with
resistless sweep towards Mr.. Blaines election;
they are maddened and desperate they hunt

grazing purposes and although Judge Brewer
states in his decision that the validity of the
leases obtained and the question whether they
can be vacated was not before the court, the

Precautions for Their Safety-Nobody Can
Stay in Town without a Permit
SKIERNIEvIo, Sept. 16-After the greeting at
the railway station, yesterday afternoon, En-
peror William drove to the palace with the
Czarina. They were followed by the Czar and
the Emperor Francis Joseph. The right-hand
side Of the palace was assigned to the Emperors
of Austria and Germany, the other side is oc-
cupied by the Czar and Czarina Prince Bismarck,
Count Kalnoky, M. DeGiers. and other diplomats
of the Emperors' lodge in a wing of the palace
The only persons visible from the railway train
which bore the Emperor from Warsaw to
Skiernievic were soldiers Nobody was allowed
on the platforms at the stations, and railway
officials were ordered to close the windows Of
their houses Polish gems darmes are guarding
Skiernievic, and nobody is allowed to remain
here without permit signed by General
Gourka
The three Emperors, wearing Russian uni
forms, to-day inspected the Russian regiments
of which the Emperors of Germany and Austria
are honorary eolonels. After the inspection the
Emperors marched at the heads of their respect
i've regiments and formally saluted each other
The Czarina viewed the scene from the balcony
of the palace. The Emperors' staffs and suites
attended gala performance at the theater in
the evening.
A Vienna dispatch says that while the three
Emperors were hunting at SkiernieTic, their
premiers were in conference and there is reason
to believe triple alliance was concluded. The
same dispatch states that the Austro Hungarian
Cabinet will be convened upon the return of the
Emperor.
The Journal de St Petersburg which speaks
with some official authority, says:
Events at Skiernievic are dominating the
whole political situation. The meeting of the
three closely united sovereigns accompanied
by confidential statesmen indicates policy of
peace There is no question now of formal al
meeting will confirm the understanding al
ready happily existing on all great questions
in order that every question outside the present
statuts quo may find the monarchs acting con-
jointly where their interests coincide, effecting
harmony where they differ, employing their
solidarity to preserve order, law and peace,
while respecting che rights of ALL but keeping a
watchful eye on those who disturb the existing
order of things-the anarchists who prowl about
in the dark and aim to destroy all institutions.

Newspaper Comment.

The Boston Journal says: If the statements
contained in the letter inclosed to Mr.. Fisher to
be returned by him to Mr.. Blaine in Washington,
were correct there could have been no objection
to Mr.. Blaine's request which was simply that
Mr.. Fisher should put in shape for use the facts
which would meet the SANDERS concerning Mr.
Blaine's connection with the Little Rock com
pany which were then finding their way into
the newspapers of the country Certainly the
form Of the request is such as any honest man
might employ, and it is equally certain that a
dishonest man asking another to bear false Wit
ness in his behalf would never have taken the
trouble to write the sentence: The letter is
strictly true, is honorable to you and to me, and
will stop the mouths of slanderers at once As
to the statements contained in the letter itself,
nobody now claims that Mr.. Blaine owned
$3.50. 600 Of the bonds obtained by him as a
gratuity. The statements in the second para
graph concerning the purchase of bonds by
Mr.. Blaine opens up no new question. 1t is
one which has already been raised and answered,
but it may be added on the testimony of Mr..
Mulligan himself, given before the congressional
committee under oath. that on these bonds sold
to Mr.. Blaine Mr.. Fisher netted about 40 per
cent. and that all the sales averaged about that
There is no question as to the retention by Mr..
Blaine of his interests in the road through all its
difficulties. The justice of the statement made

the case simply amounts to this Mr. Blaine had

dwelling houses. Last June colony of two or

wall of the church is known to be full of honey.

bees and break up the colony.
