The Republican congressional convention

Mr.. Petit moved that the Washington county
delegation headed by Feyette Marsh and r. f.
Hersey be admitted to the convention, and ex-
Governor Marshall moved as an amendment

hearing both sides Mr.. Barker of Wrightmoved,
that both original motion and the amend

county declined to cast its vote at all When
Wright county was reached Mr.. Stacy on the
part of that county took practically the same
attitude as had Col. Benton for Hennepin, and

HONEST

HAN!

In = recent speech Carl Sehurz
vouehed for Grover Cleveland 40
AN able man, an honest man,
strikinely honest man, and . civil
service reformer," and called on his
hearers to vote for him because OF
his personal honesty ana pure
character! In this connection We
would like to ask Mr.. Carl Schurz
. few plain questions
A mans personal honesty can
only be judged BY his actions, and
the test is just A. infallible in little
matters as in great. If he il dis
honest in. small things he will be
dishonest in great things. When
Cleveland abandoned q learned
profession to be Sheriff Of Buffalo,
the newsboys visited him New
Years morning and left copies OF
the annual addresses Of their pa
pers. He patted them on the head
and gave them a quarter each, and
then charged the donations to the
Taxpayers Of the county, as ap-
pears by the following entry in his
accounts with the County OF Erie

This is a little matter, but it,
very littleness is what make 1t sig
ni6cant. Probably a meaner act
of dishonesty was never performed
bv an official in this county. Ii
that what Carl Schurz calls , ''strik
inely honest" act?
The New York law says that th<
Sheriffs shall have for attendance
upon any court 50 per day. A
the easiest way Of making out hi
bill Cleveland took the court cal
enders, counted all the day
that the three courts were In ses

Nearly every charge which n
made while Sheriff had to be Gu
down by the Supervisors becaus
it was either extrayagant or unlaw

COUNTY CONSOLIDATION.

The scheme of the Enterprise
to consolidate the counties OF
Ormsby, Storey, Washoe and Lyon
has a great deal in it worthy OF
consideration. There il no reason
WHY these four counties should not
be consolidated, with Carson City,
the Capital Of the State, - the
county seat. Carson, by reason OF
its situation, is easiest Of access
from Reno, Genoa and Virginia
City of any town in the four coun-
ties for which . consolidation IL
proposed. Carson City il now sur
rounded by fine ranches and has =
mining and agricultural section
behind it which is fast building up
BY the sturdy application Of capital
and industry. Virginia City has
seen its best days and is now on
the down grade. Genoa is . thriv-
ing town, but out Of the way Of
railroad travel, and Reno having
two railroads At its door and an
other reaching out to Oregon II
in . fair way commercially to take
care Of itself. The citizens o.
Ormsby would willingly agree t.
give Reno the State Prison in ex'
change for what assistance Rene
could give in locating the count,
seat at Carson. The location O
the county seat here would Civ
Douglas county better satisfaction
than having it anywhere else, sn'
also suit Virginia City people bet
ter than having it at Reno. Th
scheme would reduce the expens
of running the government OF tn
section embraced by the count
consolidation and give satisfactio
to the taxpayers.

The survival of tain savage customs
among the advanced races, and partic-
ularly that Of wearing earrings, has
excited the bitter hostility Of French
physician which he expresses in a Wig
orous book, He says the wearing Of
these ornaments often cuts the delicate
textures Of the ear, frequently making
them bleed occasionally ulcerating them
and invariably elongating them to a
size nature never intended. All Of
which amounts to nothing. The injury
to the ear is unappreciable in the great
majority Of cases. and it is not observed
that the ears of women are larger in
proportion than those Of men. There
is this otsaction to the custom-it is
painful evidence that we are not yet
escaped from the condition Of the saw
age. Hidden under the skin Of the
abdomen IN man are the transverse
stripes which show that once his estate
was that of the reptile; surrounding
the ears are the rudiments Of the mus
cles which once moved the ears with
fan-llke grace in the coccyx we have
the rudiment of the tail by which the
Adamic man swung from the trees in
Asia; in the rough protuberanceo of the
oceipi' al bone we have the the point of
attachment of the strong ligament
which sustained the head when man
walked on all fours. But all these
things are revealed only by the knife of
the anatomist-they ar5 con3eS lei
md man therefore sets himself up as an
original creation, endowed with all
he attributes of civilization from the
,eginning-a Minerva springing in full
panoply from the brow o. Jove. Yet.
le is betrayed by the earring. The
mutilatiOn of the ear to place a PEN
dant gsud differs only in degree from
Ihe piercing of the nose for the hanging
Of ring by the savage. 1t is unneces-
sary, except as a measure Of the degree
Of barbarism still remaining.

Overflow of the Nile.

Very little rain ever falls in Egypt,
and consequently there would be
scarcely any vegetation in that hot
country, where the sun is so powerful,
if it were not for the overflow of the
Nile which takes place every year.
The river begins tc swell in June,
but the rise is not remarkable till July;
the greatest height is about September,
when it is sometimes twenty-three feet
higher than. in the spring. In October
the waters subsiGe till the next summer.
What boon this is for that thirsty
countryl The people take advantage Of
it by cutting a great numbers of canals
and trenches all through the land, and
store the water in reservoirs. For
Egypt has no other river but the Nile,
not even any tributary streams, so that
everything depends on the "Holy
River,'' as the Mohammedans call it.
When the river sinks lower, the pee
ple at once SOW seeds on the moistened
ground, which spring rapidly up, and
yield good harvest; for the mud is so
strong, that it acts like manure, bring
ing on all vegetation very fast. How
often must the pyramids have seen the
rise and fall Of that wonderful river,
for they are very oldI Abraham must
have seen them, perhaps Joseph or
Moses climbed them. They are very
high-two or three times higher than
st. Paul's; and the top, which from the
ground looks quite sharp; is really fiat,
and a number of people can sit down
there together.

NUMBER 80.


The other day tramp walked into a
Carson yard, Chicago, and asked for a
day 3 work trimming trees, assuring the
man of the house that an old pair OF
pants or a square meal would be con-
sidered sufficient equivalent for the
job. The man who owned the premises
was philanthropic fellow and fished
up an old pair of pants in few mo-
ments, at the same time setting the
stranger to work mauling the wood pile.
While thus engaged the children got
around him and were dazzled with the
pictures of some angels in red and blue
and lot of sheet anchors and mer-
maids tattooed on his arms. They soon
learned the stormy history of his life.
He had been sailor in the Caribbean,
Caspian, and Polar seas, and after Civ
ing graphic account of his tiger hunts
in India, his wrestles with gorillas in
Africa, and his great catch-as-catch-can
match, Queensberry rules, with boa
constructor Ill South America, it is but
just to add that he commanded the en-
tire respect and attention of the aud
ience. When the wood-pile had been
sufficiently splintered he announced
that the hospitality he had received
called for more work, and there SEEM
ing to be nothing special in sight he ex-
pressed himself uneasy unless he was
shown something more. One of the
children asked him If he could put
some pictures on her as he had on his
arms. He said he could, and in a
twlnkling produced the necessary para
phernalia. The children were simply
delighted, and almost had riot
disputing over the first choice. By
4 O'Clock in the evening he had two
young boys, aged and 7, aud baby
all covered over with pictures of South
american scenery, hearts, sheet an
chors, and italian sursets, besides
making engagements with twelve of the
neighbors' children and enough pros
pective jobs to last him week. When
last seen he was leaving the premises in
front of shotgun and bulldog.
