Copper Find.

The Lyon County Times says: 1t is
reported that old man Morris, better
known as Frenchy," has struck a
copper mine in the Piuenut range of
mountains, about eight anlles from
here, that IS very rich. Mr.. Morris
made the discovery about week ago
while in the hills where he has been
chopping wood for Pinschouer. The
ledge is on ap old trail that has been
Travelled for years past. Assays that
have been made from the groupings go
from 20 TO 80 per cent. No work has
been done on the claim yet, but it is
expected that it will turn out to be a
moderately good one from indications
on top. A sample lot of the ore will
be brought here and worked shortly.

Apology.

Last week the weather reporter of
the BULLETIN left for the yine-clad
hills of California TO obtain a shor
relaxation by buffeting with the rough
climate of our sister State, and the
young man to whom was assigned his
duties, not being fully instructed as
to the weather policy of the paper,
wrote an item to the effect that we had
had snow storm. As a matter of
course, the chief came around the next
morning and wanted to know
who in hades wrote that snow
itemg"
After the usual explanations, the
sub-reporter was requested to resign
and new man has been engaged who
has been solemnly sworn to testify to
the world that he has lived three years
in Hawthorne and never saw snow in
his life. He will furnish his reader.

Corwin and a number OF his Wing
friends were going from one place to
another, and were discussing the stu
alton and laughing over the prospects
of Shannon's defeat, when Mrs. Sban-
non, whom IF them knew, entered
the stage at one of the minor stations.
She listened to their talk for few
moments, and then gave them to
understand that she did not think as
they did; that she was the wife OF
Governor Shannon, and that there was
no doubt of his election. This abashed
the several gentlemen for moment,
but Corwin at once recovered himself
and soon began conversing with Mrs.
Shannon. He WAS an accomplished
conversatienalist, and in short time
she thought the dark gentleman with
whom she was talking was one of the
most polite gentlemen she ever met,
They finally got to laughing over the
campaign, and Mrs. Shannon remarked
it was not possible that such man rs
her husband conl9 Ire beaten by Il
fellow like Toal Corwin who they say
Was onn a wn-ua pa5 vi"u t"'eE,
Yes, said Corwin, and WHO GOES

"who is as black as the ace of spades"
yes" returned Corwin, Z" as black

When they reached Columbus Dir.
Corwin carried the baby into the hotel
for her, and as he laid it down said;

ernor, and few weeks later you will
find me laying down your old Gov
ernor as we'll l have the honor 10
introduce myself TO you As Tom Cor

History tells how well Corwin sue
ceeded IN verifying his prophecy-how

how, five years later, he was sent to the

Brent, with Mr.. Mayer on top of him.
Mr.. Brent has two RIBS broken, but

Mr.. Mayer escaped with pretty severe

like very careless thing for stage
man to start up hill such as that

The Phrase "Better Element. )"

The term ''better CLEMENT saws
the Boston Herald, has no relation to
partisan politics or to any classification
of men based upon wealth, education
or social position. A voter belongs to
the ''better element no matter with
which party he acts or what may be
his station in life, who has an intelli-
gent interest in good government and
who discharges conscientiously all his
duties as citizen. A man belongs to
the "worser element again, without
respect to his party affiliations, his
property or his rank, who has selfish
or dishonest interest in his government
or who seeks to mislead or defraud the
voters in the election.
4 Some Of the wealthiest men are
among the worst citizens. They either
shirk their political duties altogether
and thus prove themselves undeserving
of their birthright of freedom and self
sovereignty or they use their money
and their talents to corrupt and mis-
lead voters for selfish or partisan ends.
Some of the poorest men-those who
depend upon their daily toll for their
daily bread and have y scant supply of
even the necessaries of life--are among
the best citizens, for they vote stead
tasty on the side of honest and eco
nomic government for the best men,
without regard TO party, and often at a
sacrifice of time which they can ILL
afford to make.

A Story OF TalIeyranI.

Gen. w. C. Preston, of Kentucky, is
stopping in the city and will remain
several days. In a conversation about
Alexander Hamilton, yesterday, he
told the following story Of Talleyrand.
the great French diplomat, who, to
save his neck from the guillotine, was
forced to leave France, and he became
an exile to the United States. tYhis,"
said Gen. Preston, '.was in 1894 and
1895, when he spent portion of his
time near Albany, N. Y, where he re-
sided with Count La Tour du Pin, an
other French exile, who, with his ac-
complished wife, was concealed for six
terrible weeks in Bordeaux, during tho
bloody atrocities of Tallien. He ar
rived in Boston with two trunks full of
fine towels, the only property they had
saved from the wreck of a large estate.
Volney, the traveller, was also q mem
Der of the same family, and they sold
butter and eggs in Albany to exc out a
living. Talleyrand returned to France
on the first change of government, and
for many years, as is well known
swayed q great political influence there.
Soon after his return to Paris he was
asked what were the most notable
things he saw in America. 'The most
wonderful thing l saw" said Talley-
rand, was the great Alexander Ham
ilton crossing Broadway in the mud,
with three big law books under his
arm, going into court to argue case. y

Gordon's Iaconic kilograms.

Gen. Gordon's telegram to Khartoum
is thoroughly characteristic, recalling
the laconic terseness of his famous
speech when he entered upon his duties
as governor general OF the Soudan. 1t
was expected that he would make a
long address, but he dismissed the as
sembly with a single sentence: II will
try to hold the balance event. These
pregnant sayings of Gordon will serve
as the finger-posts of the history of his
mission. When his views on the Sou
dan appeared in our columns, he re-
marked: "A shot has been fred
When he was sent to the Soudan, he
said: Il have received orders to cut
the dogs tail of, and l will do it, 'coute
que coalte.' - At Port Said, when some
one asked him if he would not prevent
the evacuation of Khartoum, he an
swered, dryly: IL shall probably obey
my instructions. At Cairo, when he
refused an escort, he exclaimed: II
will 60 with an army or go alone. !"
And now. the latest of the series of
these utterances, and perhaps the most
characteristic Of all: "Yon are men,

.panes. She had her child with her, q
3 little fellow 3 years old. While her
back was turned the baby ran to the
door of the car and jumped down on to
the next track.
s Upon this track the Eastern express
train was just approaching the station.
Directly in the path was the baby. A
sort of sob of horror came from the
paralyzed crowd. The dog, with head
erect and fixed eyes, saw the danger,
and with bound and fierce bark
darted toward the child. The baby.
frightened, started back. The mother
went on washing windows and singing
as the huge engine rushed up abreast
of her car:
There was a crunching noise and q
faint little cry of agony. Even strong
men grew sick at the sound and turned
away. When they looked the baby
was toddling across the platform laugh
ing, and the crushed. dead body Of a
dog lay on the track.

of men and women were pale, and
there were tears in the eyes OF many Of
them. The poor negro and the mill
ionaire. tottering old men, and laugh
ing boys were the better and stronger

No Money In His Nose.

There was q man who found out this
week in q Bowery museum that he was
not SO peculiarly endowed by nature as
he had supposed. Measure your own
nose, and if it is an inch long-from
the upper lip straight out to the end
you are quite sufficiently provided for
all purposes of utility and beauty. An
inch more would proverbially be a
great deal. This man had it. and, in
consequence, he overrated his nasal
Importance. am bound to say that
his length of nose is to my mind won
derful, and entitled to be regarded as q
freak of nature. But test has proved
that it does not render him thrilling to
the masses. He is cigar-maker by
trade. Whenever he took his walks
abroad, he was gazed at with amaze
ment. If | am to be looked on as q
curiosity" he reasoned, sit would be
better to make lazy living with my
abnormal nose. - So he took his big
feature to the manager of 1O-cent
show.
Every WE'LL" was the offer which he
received. "1'll do just the same by
you that do by any other new freak.
We can't tell what'll catch on with the
public. You can have place on the
platform for week. If you make Q
failure, I'll give you IS; if you hit 'em,
I'll fix a square, liberal salary"
''But how m to know whether l hit
'em?" the amateur curiously asked.
'By seeing whether the folks stop to
look at you. That's the test.''
The nose was not potent. What had
been novel in private life, was almost
disregarded in professional. 1t seems
to be settled that a protuberance of two
inches does not make face fascinating.
The man has returned to his cigar
bench. -Ne2U York Letter.
