CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Reciprocity With Manitoba Some
Doubts Expressed.

The board OF directors held regular meet
attendance. Most of the time of the meet
ing was taken up with minor matters per-
tanning to the board, the new chamber OF
commerce building, and other similar sub
jects. The resignation of Joseph Lockey
was referred to committee on nominations
RECIPROCITY wfrH MANITOBA.
The resolutions of the Jobbers' union in
regard to trade with Manitoba were read.
These resolutions were adopted by the Job
bers' union on the 10th of August, and
start out with the statement that the province
of Manitoba is naturally tributary to the
United States, and the interests of the peo-
pie of Manitoba, Dakota and Minnesota are
identical, ther efore the jobbers are in favor
of reciprocal commercial relations with that
province, whereby the present artificial OBJ
structiops to trade may be removed. The
Jobbers' union therefore favored reciprocity.
Mr. Noyes argued in favor of adopting the
resolution. 1t was a matter of good deal OF
importance In business point OF view to the
people of Minnesota and the northwest.
Gen. Averill was in doubt as to whether it
was advisable to pass the resolutions. 1t twas
a question whether we want to throw open
the gates and let the business of all Europe
rush through Manitoba into the northwest.
He would prefer to have the resolutions go to
committee.
Mr.. Noyes was perfectly willing to let the
matter go to committee and a motion was
made by General Averill to refer the matter
to the mercantile committee
DR.. Day thought that if a reciprocity policy
was adopted that it ought to be limited to
grain, cattle and lumber. He had serious
doubts about adopting the resolutions and
also favored sending them to committee,
and they were accordingly referred to the
committee on mercantile affairs, after which
the board adjourned.

GIorTo's TOWER

How many lives made beautiful and sweet
BY elf-devotion and self-restraint,
Whose pleasure is to run without complaint
On unknown errands of the Paraclete,
Wanting the reverence Of unshodden feet,
Fail of the numbers which the artists paint
Around the shining forehead Of the saint
And are in their completeness incompletel
In the old Tuscan town stands Giotto's tower,
The lily of Florence blooming In stone
vision, delight, and desire
The builders perfect and centennial flower,
That in the light OF ages blooned alone,
But wanting still the glory Of the spire.

One Eye for Another.

Carson Tribune: Senator II. @. Parker
returned from San Francisco this morn
ing. Several years ago the Senator lost
the sight Of his right eye by the forma-
ton Of q cataract, but his left eye has
been good and strong until lately, as evil
denced by his skill as q marksman. Some
few weeks & the sight Of that eye began
to effect him. SO he consulted the o~culists
Of Frisco. They informed him that the
sightless eye was effecting the good eye,
and that If the former was not taken out
he was liable to lose his sight entirely.
So Hub concluded to have the sightless
eye taken out. and he returned to Carson

TIARY.

The news comes tolerably direct from
London that the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher is likely to be appointed EN-
bassador of the United States to the
Court of st. James, to take the place of
James Russell Lowell. On the presump-
ton that this report is true, we may say
that there is hardly any man in the ma.
ton that would be more acceptable to
English in the capacity Of United States
Minister than Mr.. Beecher would be.
Also, we believe that Mr.. Beecher would
do as good service for his people there as
is usually done by Ambassadors. Yet,
while his appointment would be received
with pleasure on the other side of the
Atlantic. On this side. many citizens, who
criticise Mr.. Beecher for various reasons,
would be anything but gratified by his
preferment to the high honor mentioned.
The great preacher is in some respects
like the man whom he may succeed
Mr.. Russell. They are both of the sturdy
old New England stock. They are both
men of very high literary attachments.
Perhaps Mr.. Russell has greater range OF
culture and is more refined in his scholar.

in native strength. The former has more

application of his talent, one of the fore
most men of the world. As an orator, in
the sense OF being q talker to the people

LOST IN THE LAVA BEDS.
Rough Experience of "a Man sixty
six Years of Age.

Rough EN- pcrfenee of a MAN sixty
six Years Of Age.
Wood River Times idaho Dec. o:
Johnny Miser, an old gentleman &C
years Of age, who lives on a ranch about
four miles above HALEY, went down to
the lava beds east Of Ilkura. last week,
with q hunting party, to shoot deer. Sat-
urday evening he wandered of from
camp and got lost in the lava beds.
After waiting for him for over So hours,
and fearing hat he must have persisted,
a party started from camp to search for
him yesterday morning. After being out
about five hours they found the old gen.
tleman. in apparent good health, but
still ''lost." and he walking away from
the direction Of the camp. He had been
out As hours. He was brought back
to camp, where he was taken care Of, and
brought to HALEY at once. This afternoon
he seemed to be all right. the only thing
the matter with him being a severe cold.
He states that the first night he made Q
fire OF sagebrush in the lava, and he slept
beside it all night. The second night he
slept in q haystack, without any fire. He
had nothing to eat or drink since leaving
camp. The old gentleman can be congrat-
ulsted OF having q narrow escape from
freezing to death, as the mercury sank to
ten degrees below zero both nights.

OUR MOoN-EYED BROTHERS.

How They are Preparing to Flee
from n Wrath 10 Come.
The following little piece Of food for
pleasant reflection is respectfully dedicated
mot by the author. but by the adapter)
to Senator Hoar, Congressman Rice and
the rest of the advocates Of the man and
brother sentiment. Il is from the Oak
land Times: 1.-THE Chinese in San Fran
cisco, apprehending the advent Of DR..
O'Donnell in the Coroner's Office, and the
consequent prohibition OF the exhuming OF
bodies, except in compliance with the
law. are actively engaged in removing the
dead from the several plots owned by the
Chinese Companies. Already $50 bodies
have been removed for shipment to the Gel
estial Empire, the Chinese being OF the
belief that unless the dead are buried in
China, their souls will never reach the
generally accepted goal. Fully 5000 more
are expected to be disinterred before the
9Th of January, when the newly elected
Coroner will enter upon the discharge
of his duties. The result IL that at
the City Cemetery there Ia q scene,
which Is shocking and unusual. A
large force OF men are engaged In
removing the earth from the graves, and
the bodies are brought TO the surface in
all stages OF decomposition. The work is
being performed by Chinese, who. IL lie
said. fortify themselves against the stencil
BY free indulgence In gin, and who handle
putrefying flesh with an indifference Alto
gether repulsive to the average person.
The Superintendent Of the cemetery, In
addition to his salary, gets 50 80 for every
body from which he removes the earth,
and he Ia making quite . stake out of
this Chinese movement. His orders fall
thick and fast, and 1t ia difficult for him
TO fill them. The earth being removed,
the Chinese raise the bodies themselves.
A force Of men pick the Notifying flesh
from the bones and box the latter up for
shipment, while Q number OF Chinese
women attend the exercises OF the ghouls
and appropriate to themselves every little
valuable which may be found upon the
body Of the deceased Celestial"

IL IL pheasant TO note the tone Oh tne
press in San Francisco generally, in re.
gard to the sensation started in the East
over the proposition to wipe out the
State of Nevada. With the exception of
the Chronicle, the papers at the Bay dis
cuss the question in a generous and con
servative manner. The San Francisco
Post talks the matter over very fairly in
the following manner:
Sour sister State of Nevada is being
attacked on all sides for the simple rea-
son that in point of population she is
small. Some of the Eastern papers are
waxing exceedingly wroth with her for
not growing. or for growing the wrong
way, and are cudgeling their brains to
hit upon some device by which she may
be deprived of her statehood altogether.
There is something cowardly and I'M
American in these attacks, like hitting a
a man when he is down. The complaint
that she has undue representation in
Congress, when compared with the State
of New York, will apply to every other
State. Every State in the Union has
two Senators, while no two have the
same population. If the inequality be
wrong or works a hardship on the larger
States, it is due to a system that was the
offspring of the founders of the govern.
ment, and is supposed to have been con-
cieved in wisdom. Whether or not it
has come up to the standard that was ex-
pected of it we shall not pretend to dis
cuss, but must insist that while these
inequalities are general, it is scarcely the
thing to insist that Nevada is especially
an offender or an unwelcomed member of
the family. Our %neighboring State is
now going through a season of depression
which we hope is but temporary, and
that it will not be long before she enjoys
a renewal of the good, old Comstock
days, and again attracts the admiring at
tention of the world with the immensity
of her bullion output. Mining develop
ments are going on in every direction,
many of them being of the most en-
couraging character. Her focks and
herds are constantly multiplying, and
her agricultural acreage enlarging. The
next Legislature will, doubtless, CONSOLE
date public offices wherever practicable, |
reduce salaries, lop off the official ex-
crescences that are reminders Of flush
times, and thereby materially lessen the
burdens of taxation. The finances of the
State are in an excellent condition, and
the people are making a plucky fight. 1t
is not her fault that she is little. She is
very sorry for it, but she really can't help
it, and SO, while she is struggling to keep
on her feet she is deserving Of sympathy
and encouragement, rather than re-
proach."
The Reno New Gazette says:
"The people of Nevada see no reason
for . change, and will accept none. The
cost Of their State organization falls on
their W shoulders, and they are willing
and ahundantly able to sustain it. Ne
yada has contributed in the past and
will in the future her full share towards
the support of the national government
and national prosperity. Her great
silver product came at a critical moment,
and many smaller ore bodies are promis-
ing well. Her mines, cattle and farming |
give her permanency."
