The course of events in business cir

pend, in a large degree, upon the OK
tent to which the outlook seems to fore
shGdpw a reaction from an era of de-
preston. Present appearances indi-
cate that such a rebound cannot be
much longer postponed. The tendency
to excessive production in many branch

by reduction i'll prices, failures, agree

that consumption was not keeping pace

The official report of the Agrieultu-
raj Bureau regarding the condition Of
crops about August / is one of the
most favorable ever made, The report
AS to wheat covers only the spring
wheat region, the average given is 98,
one point higher than either of the last
two excellent years. and higher than
in any year since 1877, The average
for corn is higher than in August Of
any year since 1886. These figures
point to an enormous yield Of both
wheat and com and i'll view OF the
large stocks held w from last year
indicate pretty surely that supplies of
food will be unusually cheap here the

An Chuck's Muscle.

Sullivan is matched to knock out a big
Chinaman in Portland or lose 81 900. He
r~ejoices in the title OF Fang All Chuck.
Chuck is a big strong Chinaman, who has
conceived the idea. or has had it drummed
into his head, that be can earn 81 ,000
easily, by standing in front Of John l.,
the allotted four rounds. He is tough,
wiry man. and, for a Chinaman, very mus
cular. He can outfit any man in this
county, and, among his countrymen, is re-
garded as an invincible hero. Chuck is
now training for the encounter. His
course Of exercise is Of a passive charac-
ter. and consists in allowing a number Of
healthy Mongols to pound his body and
head with fists but ~scantily muffied. II
must be said to Chuck's credit that he
takes to his work kindly, but as most OF
the heathens strike like women and not
from the shoulder, he may feel a bit dis
couraged when he falls across the human
pile driver from Boston.

Remarkable Frankness.

Carson Appeal: Whenever a public
servant does the right thing by his con-
s%tituents, the act should be regarded from
a non-partisan standpoint, so long as his
act is for the benefit of ell. During the
present session of Congress, Nevsda's
Representative in the Lower House, Con-
gresham Cassidy, has introduced q bill
which. we believe, will eventually result in
giving to this city the Government build
ing which it has so long needed. He has
also introduced a bill aiming at the settle
ment Of the claims of a number of our
citizens, growing out of the Piute war;
just claims which the United States Gov
eminent has allowed to slumber in OBJ
security for 20 years. He also voted on the
right side on the Land Forfeiture Railroad
bill, and deserves the thankful acknowl-
edgements of the people of Nevada for
these acts. Whether he is trying to make
q record for reelection, playing policy. or
because he wants to do the right thing, is
not for US to say. So few men act squarely
by their constituents that when they do
let us not stop to talk about motives.

ed the power Of the instrument strikingly
by saying, while q scrap of human skin
WAS under the glass, that the fragment
thus magnified represented an individual
just one mile in hight. He would 10
times overtop the Hottest of the
pyramids, and 90 times the tallest
Of our steeples. His breadth and thick
ness being in proportion to his
hight, his weight would be 100, DOC. 900, 900
pounds, equal to $4,000. 900 tons. "He
could take our Statehouse up as W. would
lift a paving s%tone," the Doctor added,

and great distress prevails with almost
everybody. Business of all kinds is sus-

assistance from every direction. l never

There are over 200 persons in our school
house, and the public buildings that are
above the high water mark are all filled to
overflowing. The rains continue una
bated, and the river is rising with such
rapidity as to apall the stoutest heart.
Reports from P~ittsburg, Charlestown, Par
%kersburg, Marietta, Cincinnati, Frankfort
and other points along the various rivers,
state that heavy rains prevail and that the
floods will exceed that Of 1883 by several
feet. Even if the waters snbside our loss
will be great. and we will not be able to
return to our homes for several weeks; at
least, till the mud is cleaned out and the
rooms thoroughly dried. Help US, if pos
sible, for Gods sake. The daily papers
