Time Table Habits.

1t is probably not generally known
that railroad time tables exercise an
important influence over the habits of
a great many people. Without being
themselves aware of their weakness,
there are numerous good citizens
whose chief enjoyment in this life
consists in playing freeze.out until
train time. OF course, when train
arrives at night, this amusement en-
tails late hours, and late hours
frequently lead to dissipation, which
is first cousin TO carouse. The late
change in time on the c. & G. has
already begun to affect the staying,up
habits of the boys, and, for awhile, it
will be a disagrecable arrangement of
their usual hours of sleep. AS they
cannot all at once get sleepy early in
the evening, and as it is necessary to
their peace of mind that they should
see the morning train come in and go
out, quite NUMBER are suffering from
loss of sleep. Nature, though, will
soon regulate this, and it will not be
long before Hawthorne can make q
showing of leisurely people who go to
bed with the chickens and are out in
the morning with the early birds that
get up to catch worms. In most
respects the change Of time is regarded
as vast improvement, especially by
the better.halves of heads of families,
but it may, and no doubt will, be the
cause of multiplying the number OF
meeting nights for the several lodges
as, even with the best men, valid
excuses are sometimes an important
items in domestic economy.

The Rise OF Russian Detective.

Stepaniak, author of Underground
Russia writes to the London Iniy
NeGS that five years ago Sondckin, 0
plebian infantry Captain. was un-
known. He rose with the assassina.
ton of the Car. Having shortly
before entered the police from the
army, he attracted the attention Of
Pablo Prosecutor Strelmilioff, mon-
archieal fanatic, who recommended
him, though but twenty,eight, to the
Car for important work, and he soon
won golden opinions from his Majesty.
He was born a detective and had o
marvellous art Of insinuating himself
into the confidence of prisoners. He
openly avowcd that terrorism was, in
his opinion, the only remedy applca-
BILE. TO accomplish his aim he was
absolutely indifferent what expedents
he resorted to, but he was not cruel.
He often said that sooner or later he
was bound to be killed, but would do
his best to make it later. He had no
fixed habitalion, and but very few
knew where to find him. Stepaniak
describes him as the most powerful
subject of the empire, and thinks that
it would be difficult to eXaggerate the
CONSERVATION occasioned by his muir
der among the Court party.

A ragged little gamin went into
Main street saloon last Thursday
evening, and going up to the bar
tender, handed him II drty-looking

The Garfield Route

The Postoffice Department has
ordered weekly mail route between
Hawthorne and Garfield, and bids are
advertised for, for the service from
July l, 1884 to June l, 1885. The
bids must be presented at the Haw-
thorne Postoffice on or before April
Both. 1t is good thing to have reg
nlar mail to Garfield, even a weekly,
but as that district is promising to
become, during the Summer, as impor-
as Mount Cory, semi-weekly would
better suit the requirements of bust
ness. There is Il steady output of rich
ore from the Garfield hills, and large
additional force of men will doubtless
be put in the mines now open, while
the number of prospectors will prob
ably be greater this yea than ever
before.

Charley Kimball recognizes the
value of being prepared to take time
by the forelock, when he brings his
head within reach, and, having conf
dence in the general result of The
election and in the prospects of the
county, is charging and improving
his saloon. The prodielous business,
which he has been doing, requires
more room and he has Knocked out
the back of the house and will build
an addition, in which there will be
elegant and comfortable card-rooms,
and rooms for quiet conferences. AT
present, the house looks little out OF
shape, owing to its ruptured condition.
1t looks as though Charley or Chriss
had leaned, too negligently, against
the wall and dismembered the frame
work, but in a short time, everything
will be finished and Aladin's palace,
rocs egg and all, will be but mild
comparison.

Bo,iie kickers.

Bodie is in stew, the citizens are
in the mud, actually and financially.
Every body has theory by which he
accounts for the break in Bodie stock,
and all the theorists agree that there
has been some conniving. 1t is the
old, old story; they did not get out in
time and now accuse the managers of
hiding ore for the purpose of keeping
down the price. All the fortunes made
so suddenly seem to have melted away,
except in the single instance of a
saloon keeper, who sold out in time,
paid his debts with the proceeds, and
now, being unincumbered by liabili-
ties, feels rich, and intends, hereafter,
doing cash business.

Leap Frog.

Our streets afford peculiar facilities
for that well-known sport, leap frog,
and Hawthorne sport has organized
club of leap froggers which he will
soon be ready to match against any
similar club on the Coast. 1t is aston
ishing how much variety can be given
to the game by the exercise of taste and
ingenuity. Base ball, as now played,
is but an evolution of the old game of
town or corner ball, and the leap frog
of today is similarly improved, both
in manner of jumping and variety
and exactness of rules governing the
sport. Once number of boys stood
in row with hands on knees and head
bent down, and everybody knows how
they followed each other over the back
in front. Now that system has been
introduced, there are various stages in
the game and several positions for
backs, with strict rules governing the
manner of leaping. In addition, in
stead of a simple straight line, the
tendency of the game is toward orna-
mental curves and lines which would
make nice patterns for crazy quilts.
The club is in excellent training, and
having a particularly active force of
players, the manager has them taught
to go through numerous beautiful fig
ures. They stand close together, and
the ground being previously marked
out with ornamental designs, follow
the lines rapidly, giving the effect to
the eye of a living cable coiling at one
end and uncoiling at the other, while
their motions are so quick that the eye
readily perceives the design which
they are following. When they get
their bright uniforms the pleasing
effect will be considerably enhanced
and public exhibition will be spec
tacle well worth witnessing.

Another Warning.

Another town has been destroyed by
fire. On Tuesday night a fire broke
out in the railroad buildings at Wads-
worth, and before it was subdued,
almost the whole town was in ashes.
Some towns which are unprotected
take warning when accounts of such
disasters are received, others take
measures of prevention. AT the pres
cnt writing Hawthorne has contented
itself by taking warning, and there
is great danger that some Of our we'll
TODD citizens may take cold from
exposure if the Spring storms continue,
unless they have tents and blankets
stored iu some fire-proof place against
the day or night of cofiagration.

An Anomalous Vote.

AT the meeting of the Resolute Base.
ball Club last Wednesday evening,
when the report of the Committee on
Bylaws was presented, a good. hearted,
ph;lanthropic member, who has always
been noted for his advocacy of the
cause of temperance, actuated solely
by desire to make things pleasant
and agreeable for the drinkers in the
club, opposed Rule 9, which provides
that any member partaking of intoxi
eating drinks "whilc playing in a
game" lays himself liable to a fine.
To his intense astonishment, when his
amendment, proposing the insertion of
the word "match before "game :"
was put to vote, every bard drinker
in the crowd voted against him, while
the only three who were openly
avowed temperance men voted with
him.

The wild Wind.

The only disturbing feature of Haw-
thorne weather is the occasional wind
and sand storm, such rs visited us last
Wednesday. AS such yisitations are
expected and prepared for, no damage
ensues to any of the houses. In fact,
all the residences and business houses
have been substantially built, and the
most Industrious gale can only make
the windows rattle and the stove-pipes
jingle while it is sanding the floors
through the cracks under the doors,
As everything is secure, the people
enjoy the storms that help make the
air the purest in the world and give
occasion for speculation as to the
number of brood tlys which have gone
off on the wings of the wind. None
dislike the roar and hustle of the wind
except the unfortunate county officers,
whose duty and business hours oblige
them to sit in an unstable Courthouse
under brittle ceilings, and who have
their minds distracted by hayward
calculations and estimates concerning
the probable weight of any given area
of plaster which is liable to interrupt
routine county work at any given time,
especially when hurricane sedu-
lousy investigates the workmanlike
construction of the building.
