straight and well proportioned one as can be
found in the state. Its height is l25 feet
above the ground, and is placed on the green
in such position that it can be seen . or
g miles in any direction from Decatur. The
work of raising occupied some time, but
there were no accidents-eyerything passed
of smoothly. Hon. Judge Keightly adj
dressed hall full of people in the afternoon,
and for two hours he held the audience with
his clear and logical remarks. In the even

seems to be much the better plan. Albion

meeting the appreciation of leading educators.

Virginia Enterprise: Our District

ciary. Judges Murphy, Edwards, Board,
man and Bigelow are as much politicians
as they are Judges. 1t is time to give
the Nevada judiciary gentle hint to
observe the proprieties respected by hon
cradle gentlemen on the bench in other
States, and to let them understand that
their party can manage its conventions
without their making their assistance so
conspicuous. We have nothing to say
against their integrity as judicial officers,
nor do we intimate that their advice and
counsel in party matters are undesirable,
but the practice of District Judges act
lively participating in Political conven.
tions is not calculated to inspire respect
for the judiciary.

TESTS or STEEL AND IRON.
blacksmith sad wheelwrlgh..l


Nitric acid will produce black spot
on steel; the darker the spot the harder
the steel. Iron, on the contrary, re.
mains bright if touched with nitric acid.
Good steel, in its soft state, has a
curved fracture and uniform gray lus-
tire; in its hard state, dull, silvery uni.
form white. Cracks, threads, or spark.
ling particles denote bad quality.
Good steel will not bear white heat
without falling to pieces, and will crum.
bic under the hammer at bright red
heat, while at middling heat it may be
drawn out under the hammer to fine
point.
Care should be taken that, before at.
tempting to draw it out to point, the
fracture is not concave; and should it be
so, the end should be filed to an obtuse
point before operating Steel should be
drawn out to fine point and plunged
into cold water; the fractional point
should scratch glass. To test its tough
ness, place fragment ON block of cast
iron; if good, it may be driven by blow
of hammer into the cast iron; if poor,
it will crush under the blow.
A soft, tough iron, if broken gradually,
gives long silk fibers Of leaden gray hue,
which twist together and cohere before
breaking.
A medium, even grain with fbres de-
notes good iron.
Badly refined iron gives a short, black
ish fibre on fracture. A very fine grain
denotes hard, steely iron, likely to be
cold-short and hard.
Coarse grain, with bright crystallized
fracture or d,scolored spots, denotes
cold.short, brittle iron, which works
easily when heated and Yields well.
Cracks on the edge Of a bar are indica.
tons of hot, short iron. Good iron is
readily heated, is soft under the ham
mcr, and throws out few sparks.

MEMBERS OF THE LEGISLATURES.

State, county conventions will be called
upon to nominate candidates for members
of the Legislature. As times are dull,
money scarce and taxes high, reformatory
measures will be absolutely necessary to
prevent the State from becoming bank

ton Of deadheadism" in Office any
longer. To insure the necessary legisla-
tion to carry out retrenchment in the
Government honest and capable men
should be selected for Lawmakers. As
it is part of the duties devolving upon
the next Legislature to elect United
States Senator, TO succeed Senator Jones
from the 18th of March next, it is feared
that the Senatorial question will be made
the paramount issue in determining the
choice Of legislators, and that the party
which happens to be in the ascendency in
the several counties in the State will elect
legislative candidates for partisan rather
than economic reasons. In other words,
judging by the past, the qualifications OF

considerations, will be lost sight of in the
contest which is certain to ensue for the
election of members favorable to this,

States Senatorship. While every intelli.
gent person will admit that, at the pres.
emit time, economy and reform in the
State affairs is OF greater Importance to
the people of Nevada than the politics of
the next Senator; but, when the fight |
wakes warm, the interests of the State |

vada had not been represented at all in
the Senate for the last ten years. If the
taxpayers of the State, the men who have
to bear the burdens of the Government,
will openly and emphatically assert their
right to be heard in this matter, and de.
clare in manner that those who manip-
nlate conventions cannot misunderstood
that they will support the most capable
men for the Legislature, regardless of
their political affiliations, they will force
the slate-makers and political manipu-
lators of both parties to nominate respon-
sible and competent men, who are inter.
ested in the welfare of the State for

THE CORSE Il.

The temptation to tight lacing is not
so great as formerly, now that the cor.
sets are fitted by measure, and then fast
ened in front by steel hooks. But almost
every corset. wearer would find her waist
expanding in size should she leave off the
corset and wear really loose clothing.
The corset steel is one of the worst feat
ures. The pressure upon the stomach,
and thus upon the nerves back of the
stomach, results in weakness and general
invalidism. Many corset.wearers i'm.
agine that the corset is a real support to
the strength, because they feel ''all gone"
without it. This only shows how much
mischief the corset has already done.
Their feelings are all unnatural The
muscles of the waist and abdomen have
lost their native power through con6ne.
ment. If the toggery worn in the shape
Of basques and skirts, with bands and
weights, Expresses and torrents her
when her corset is removed the toggery
should certainly be reformed and the
muscles given chance to recover their
lost power. Physicians have always con.
demned the corset as prej.dicial to
health, and the best artists have con.
demned it as destroying woman's natu-
raj form and detrimental to real grace or
beauty. But there is little hope of eman.
cipation in large numbers from those
bonds, so long as closely. fitted waists,
and especially basques, prevail.
