Remarkable Interpretation O1

Anybody that can detect the beauty OF
the following contribution by Matthew
Arnold in the April number OF the Man.
haitian must be possessed of the "happy
faculty."
81 once mentioned in a school report,
how o young man in q training college,
having to paraphrase the famous passage in
Macbeth beginning:
Can'st thou not minister to q mind diseased
turned this line into Can you not wait
upon the lunatic? p And I remarked what
a curious state OF things it would be, If
every pupil of our national schools knew
that when a taper burns the wax is con-
verted into carbonic acid and water, and
thought at the same time that q good para
phase for
Can'st thou not minister to q mind diseased
was Can you not wait upon the lunatic p
II one is driven to choose, 1 think l would
rather have a young person ignorant about
the converted wax, but aware that, Can
you not wait upon the lunatic?' is bad
than q young person whose education had
been such as to manage things the other
way"

SCHOOL
An Appeal 10 the Friends of the
Public School Children.

AN ADDeA I'D the EflemOS Oh tine
Public school Children.
Mr.. Mcdonald, Principal Of the Eureka
public schools, is trying to get together a
collection Of books for the use OF the boys
and girls attending school. He invites the
parents and friends of the pupils, and all
who are interested in the enlightenment of
the rising generation Of the Base Range, to
cooperate with him in this commendable
effort. Any good, wholesome books, Of
whatever department OF literature, such as
are proper for children to read, for the
sake Of information or harmless pastime,
will be thankfully received and credited to
the donors. 1t is not new books that are
asked for. Never mind how old they are.
They are needed for use. There is hardly
a household in Eureka but is able, and can
readily spare, one volume OF some kind, if
not more, for the benefit Of the children.
Books OF reference, standard works of
fiction, travel, histories, biographies-any
sort OF a volume that the boys and girls
may read and learn something from. We
understand that Mr.. Mcdonald has sue
ceeded already in getting small
nucleus for library. Those who
will add to II what they can
spare, and, perhaps, what they will never
miss, will confer a favor upon him and
place a large number of children under
obligation for q favor that will be thor
oughly appreciated. 1t is needless to ex-
patiate upon the advantages Of q school
library, or to repeat, what everybody
knows, that it is very important to incul-
cate in children a taste for reading. The
Trustees were appealed to to set apart a
small sun of money to start the proposed
library with. but they did not feel able 30
respond. as the school funds are low and
will hardly be sufficient to maintain all
the classes to the end OF the present term.
Hence the public are appealed to. not for
money and not for such books as they are
10th to part with, but for only such vol
umes that are, maybe, useless on the
shelves in a hundred homes, or that car
be given away without being missed.

1t appears that the object Of Mr.. Sever
ance, @. P. agent, in his recent rough trip
from Salt Lake to Eureka by the way Of
Phoebe, was to offer inducements in order
to divert the carrying trade Of Lincoln
county from the Utah Southern and get it
for his road through our town.
Del Barba, the prisoner who escaped
from the County Jail yesterday, had three
plans matured to make his escape. The
first was to dig through the wall Of the
prison; the second was to do as he done
yesterday, and the third and last was to
take the most desperate chances while
being conveyed to the State Prison, even
to kill the officer accompanying him, and
10 jump off the car. He said he would
prefer death to going TO the State Prison.

uaggie Comes TO Grief at the Hands
Of Her Buck.

H4KKtt AUENCS ~
Of Her Buck.
Maggie Knight, whose native instinct
imDelled her to turn her back upon the
whites among whom she had grown up
and had become, to all appearances in
manner and dress, civilized, has not, it
seems, found her lot among the a~borigines
a. satisfactory as she anticipated. The
buck with whom she mated has not been
able or willing to dress her as she used TO
dress, and since her return to the hills
she has made anything but a presentable
appearance. The transition to savage life
in her case has been 30 swift and thorough
that we're she not known about town she
would not be distinguished from the other
sousws with whom she travels about the
streets. Yesterday morning she and the
buck with whom she recently mated were
tramping down to town from Ruby Hill
through the snow and mud. When at a
point between the two camps, where it
was not likely he would be observed, he
stripped all her clothes off and gave her q
terrible beating. Constable J.. E. Bray
happened along shortly after the buck had
satiated his vengeance on her. She was q
pitiful spectacle with mud all over her
clothes and her face covered with
bruises. When Mr.. Bray came
up she was just putting on her stockings,
which she had fshed ont OF the mud,
into which her buck had slung them. She
tod him that her man was jealous of her
because he had seen her the day before in
company with a white man, and had beaten
her until she thought she would die before
he would quit. 1t is said that the young
sqAw is in 8 delicate condition, which must
have rendered the bucks brutality all the
more severe and cruel. She wanted Mr..
Bray to arrest him, and che came to the
County Jail to get the officers there TO take
hin in hand. They all declined, OF course,
nhave anything TO do with the case, as
our courts Lave no jurisdiction over the
Indians in any matter in which Indians

At the recent hygienio dress exhibition
in Manchester there were exhibited re-.
formed boots. shaped to the foot, with
broad points, low. broad heels, and an
elastic sole under the instep. The latter
was dovetailed into the sole between the
front part of the sole and the heel, was
made of a specially prepared elastic leather,
very pliable, and would probably, as rep
resented, afford facility in walking by
giving the foot the natural play.

There is nothing but a foolish prejudice

We judge from the following article
from an English society paper that,
though the Princess of Wales starts any
number of styles, she, after all, hardly
gives more than a hint to the capricious
fancy of the giddy sex: 1t is a mistake to
suppose that the Princess of Wales ia the
leader of fashion in London. Were she SO,
crinolettes, high shoulders, and inordi-
nately high heels would never have been
seen, nor loud combinations of color and
elaborate head-gear. The Princess is cele-
brated for being always dressed in quiet
and perfect taste. She goes in for a rather
severe style of tailor-made garments just
now. OF course she ia initiated. II she
appears in q gray or pink hat, many are
the gray and pink heads to be seen; but
for one who will follow the Princess quiet,
lady-like style, twenty will follow the lead
of some eccentric, original, or celebrated
actress.

Value Of the Human Head In the
World to Come.

Value of the Human Head I'm the
World 20 Come.
The Chinese, 30 far as can be learned
from history, are the Oldest nation on
earth. They are, to us Of extreme modern
ideas, q strange people, and some of their
ways and fancies are not to be explained.
The most painstaking scholars and an
tiquarians appear to have failed, in
many particulars, to discover the motives
that actuate the individuals of this prehis-
toric race. Yet, doubtless, the ceremonies
that we see them going through in mining
camps on the Pacific Coast are all, to
them, as full OF meaning as the rites OF
modern religion are TO the believers in
Christianity. The Chinese, in some re-
spects, are not unlike the army OF the
orthodox in the church militant, who be-
lieve in a personal life of the present
human frame in the world beyond. The
Chinese custom Of decapitating their ene-
mics slain in war is explained by the
statement that they believe that the ap-
pearanoe of q person in the spirit world
without a head is prima facie evidence Of
having committed some crime, and punish
ment is awarded accordingly. Hence, the
horrible mutilations which took place on
the evacuation of Shanghai by the Taip-
ings, when the imperial officers gave
orders for the decapitation of every rebel
body; and even the collins containing the
remains Of prominent rebel leaders were
broken open and ~dishonored to insure
their punishment hereafter. Hence, also,
the anxiety displayed by the friends Of
who lost their heads during the
to recover them and stitch them
to the bodies again, as much as f133
having been paid by the officers of the i'm
perial army for the head of a friend.

The View FROM A Comet.

l3AFEeRS p S6EVleb IN ~ L GHn
At last the comet is face to face with the
terrors of its perihelion passage. It must
swing around the sun, which, from a little
star, has now grown to gigantic orb of FIRE,
SO close as almost to touch it. Long before
he approached SO near, the comets rider be-
held astonishing sppendages about the sun.
Instead of smooth, dazzling white globe, he
saw the sun ringed with scarlet flames, while
shooting out from every side, hu ndreds of
thousands and in some cases. perhaps even
millions of miles, were huge fans and shafts
of wonderful light, like fiery spokes radiating
from the glowi ng hub of the solar system
And now, as the comet darts closer in, he
sees the whole surface of this melting pot of
the elements surging and swirling in the
mighty rush of contendlng solar forces.
People have lost their heads by gazing too
loag ct the Mia lara whirlpool. That wou Id
tear ship to pieces. But there are maeI-
stroms here in the sua that would SKATER and
swallow a world. Iron and copper and zinc
are here reduced to vapor and spouted heav-
en- vi ard thousands and even hundreds of
thousands of miles, and down they come
again, esassless and awful rain of molten
metal. Aye, masses of sun substances are
hurled from beneath this glowing surface
and 60 hurtling out into space. scattering
white-hos showers of fragments and cooling
and condensing as they GO, neVer come back
again, flung forth by the tormsnted sun to
wander until they fall psrehance upon the
earth or some other planet OF Join the system
revolving around distant star. What gi-
gsatio Calling gun of the universe, belchi ng
Are and smoke and fearful missiles, must the
comet face nowl
At the perihelion swing the tremendous
globe of the sun seems to fl the whole ex-
panse Of the sky, houndless, raging, tossing
and spouting sea of unquenchabls fire. a
gnivetsal conaagFation wherein iron and all
the METALS calcium and all the elements OF
the solid rocks, flaming, lick the heavens.
There are no words invented that can de-
| scribe the heat, the glare and the roar of il.
This terrific passage around the sun is the
culmination of the comets career, the fiery
Cape Horn Of it's voyage. Flung of by the
storm giant, it speeds away again, bach
through the realm of the planets, and out
