THE NEVADA LIARS.

TIE Most ProdlgiOus Fasricztors
| on Earth.
"Of all the liars on the face of the
earth, We believe the Nevada news
paper liar is the most prodigious
| outside Of Missouri" says the st.
! Louis Democrat, land the newspa-
! per men in that State all seem to
be equally accomplished. They
| also place great deal of confidence
in each other One of them will
publish a wild, imaginative yarn
and every other paper in the State
| will reprint it. After it has gone
around the entire circle, some
other old duffer will start another
fabulous tale, and in this manner
the public is constantly kept in a
state of excitement
About a year ago one of these
sensation or:ginators related how a
wonderful Illuminating shrub y
had been discovered in a remote
locality. This bush would emit a
brilliant phosphorescent light after
dark. and could be seen for miles
around.
Some othc, fellow told Of an ap-
parentlv bottomless cavern that had
been discovered in Lake Tahoe,
which was eclipsed by the subse-
ouent announcement that the cav
ern proved to be the extended jaws
of a dcflnct fish. We believe Dan
DeQuille was responsible for the
startling discovery Of a live alliga
tor in the Sutro tunnel, but we for
got who it was that saw the twenty
foot trout in one Of the Nevada
lake. The Carson APPEAL victim
lied a great many Eastern papers
with the description of novel We
hicle patented by Nevada man.
This wagon was so constructed that
the horse travelled underneath it
and was thus protected from the
weather. In going down hill the
wagon would pick the horse up and
carry him.
The latest lie is by the Carson
APPEAL, paper unusually prolific,
and is in regard to a COW with gold
plated teeth. Strange to say, the
Eastern papers hook right on and
swallow the yarn whole"
The above sounds like the work
of some cow-county Missouri jour
nalist, who has never had the luck
to travel beyond the moss-encrust-
ed precincts Of his own State.
Wonderful things are constantly
taking place in the wild and pro-
gressive West, that never could
happen in that old cemetery of the
earth Missouri. Little everyday
incidents here would be considered
sensations of the first-class in
Missouri where the people sleep
half the day, and dreamily doze
away the golden years, at time
when they should be up and stir
ring and investigating the wonders
of nature.

the earl y age OF 10. His jubilee has
already begun to excite considerable
interest. 1t is an event in which most
OF the Nonconformist churches are likely
in some way to take some part in com
memorating. The silver wedding OF
his pastorate was celebrateda q year OF
two since by the collection of $4,000,
which was presented to Mr.. Spurgeon,
and which he forthwith handed over
for the benefit Of institutions connected
with his Ministerial work. A second
fund, in recognition of his jubilee, is
now in contemplation, through the exact
object toward which it will be devoted is
not vet announced. A building, to be
called Jubilee House," has just been
commenced at the rear Of the tabernacle.
It is to form residence for the chapel
keeper, and a suite of Offices for the
church officers. The church at present
under Mr.. Spurgeon's pastoral charge
numbers $500 persons, and overtaxes
the sitting accommodations of the
tabernacle.

Story Of Buffers Nerve.

BY the way, speaking Of duels reminds
me that Ben Butler, who is here now,
is descended in part from the old Clley
stock, and Was hence related to the
Jonathon Ciiley who fell in the noted
Graves Ciiley duel. Butler would have
made duelist himself had he been born
in state and at a time when the code OF
honor held good. But bean eating Massa-
chusetts never fights duels, and Buffers
nerve had to be expended in other ways.
A notable instance Of this occurred in
1856, when Ben Butler was a young
practitioner at Lowell. The Buchanan
campaign was in full progress and
great meeting was being held in the
largest hall of the city. Rufus Choate,
tho great lawyer, was addressing the
meeting and his eloquence had thrown
them into the widest enthusiasm, when
a jar was felt and B. crash WAS heard.
The CRY went forth, ''The floor is sink
ing livery one turned pale and the
audience rose for stampede, when
Ben Butler came to the front
OF the platform beside Mr.. Choate, and
calling the audience to halt, said there
was no danger; that the architect OF the
building was present and that he would
go with him and examine the building
and report to allav their fears. This
quieted the audience. Butler and the
architect made an Immediate examina-
tion Of the hall and found the
danger very great. Butler at once re-
turned and smilingly assured the audi
ence there was no present danger, but
as the hall was overcrowded he advised
them to quietly adjourn to the public
square and there Mr.. Choate would fin
ish his speech. The crowd went quiet
ly out ans. the catastrophe was averted.
AS Butler stepped on the platform he
had whispered to Mr.. Choato with a
half laugh in order to deceive tae audi
ence. 'This what he said, "Mr Choate

be in hell in five minutes. "-Washing.

A Japanese Wedding.

AJapanese wedding must be a very
melancholy affair. In Japan it is not
good form for the bride to admit that
she enjoys the prospect of getting mar
ried, and therefore when she is told
about it three or four days before the
event she is expected to set up loud
believing and keep it up day and night
as nearly as she can until the ceremony
comes on. After she has been richly
dressed for the occasion she is expected
to hang back and shrek and make
show of resisting her attendants efforts
to lead her to the bridegroom. This hol-
low farce is kept up by one of the brides
maids finally throwing veil over the
brides face, while an old hag takes her
on her back and carries her to sedan
chair waiting at the door to take her to
the bridegroom's mansion. When she
arrives there she is a wife. the simple
ride in fowery chair having the mys.
tic power of Transforming her into
married woman. From that time for.
ward she begins to brighten up, and in
few days may be caught smiling. In
modern civilization this order of things
is simply reversed.

The Choice OF 8 Sire.

National 1.-Two Stock Journal
If, on careful and sufficient trial,
your bull proves poor breeder, or
even very irregular breeder, "why
there's an end O. it," and the only
course open to a wideawake breeder is
to discard him forthwith, without cere-
mony or regard to pedigree. Don't
hesitate till he has done irreparable
damage to your herd. Actions
of this sort to be worth any
thing, must be prompt. On the other
hand, don't be too easily influenced by
few cases Of extreme bad produce from
particular cows. I doubt if any herd
could be gotten together in Which some
COWS would not breed peculiarly badly
to any given bull; COWS, too, whose pro-
duce by other sires would be fine. New
ar breed such COWS back to that bull, if
after fair trial you obtain that result,
ind another bull can be reached. Your
sire again may possess the power of
stamping his own image on his get to q
very marked extent. This prepotency
is, of course, very valuable quality, one
without which you can scarcely have a
great sire. But, at the same time,
you not infrequently had a sire quite
as useful in herd that only enables the
lam to reproduce herself. These are
the two extremes, the normal being the
5he admixtuxe of the qualities of sire
md dam. No doubt this, too, is the
most desirable, but either of the other
cases may be made to prove equally or
even more valuable iu a herd, it being

Franklin and Adams.

Some time during the revolutionary
period, ora little after, John Adams and
Benjamin Franklin were dispatched
from Philadelphia, I believe, to Mass
achusetts, on public errand. Adams
had mortal antipathy, shared by him
along with the ma ajority Of mankind at
that day, against the night air. He be-
1ieved that if he kept his bedroom win
dow open even crack at night he would
surely die. Franklin, on the other
hand, was a disbeliever in the theory of
danger in the night air, and he had
many arguments with Adams thereon.
Circumstances and the crowded con-
dition of many of the taverns they
stopped at on the:c journey eastward
compelled them frequently to occupy
the same room, and often the same bed.
Adams always opposed raising the win
dow, and poor Ben nearly sufocated
and reviled Adams on waking for his
wretched theory of the deadly effects Q!
natures universal medium of breath.
One night Ben slv}y raised window in
their common chamber, but Adams, or
the alert for his friends little games,
insisted that it should be closed at once.
Said crafty Ben: "Now, Mr.. Adams
we'll 60 to bed with the window up, land
I will show you why it will not be harm
full to us to permit it to stay open. Il
I cannot convince you Of the reasonable
ness of my theory, 1 will myself get ur
and close the window" Adams weakly
consented and Ben began to reason
with him. Finally poor Adams was
talked to sleep, and Ben TRANQUILITY re-
signed himselfto slumber. Next morn
ing great was Adams horror at finding
the window up, but not having died
through, the night, and feeling no i'll ef-
fects from having braathed the night
air, he became a convert to sly Benja-
MINIS night-air theory. The author Of
history OF America during the colonial
epoch told NE this anecdote as some
thing amusing, which had hitherto es-
capped type.

Another Penitent Thief.

The most persuasive of the "Eviden-
ces Of Christianity" is the fact that it
makes good men out of bad men. What
reply can the honest doubter make to
this fact? There is now working in
New York City successful philanthro-
pist, who, five years ago, was one of the
most expert thieves in the country. He
was made what he is by the Christian
religion.
His mother was an abandoned wom-
an and his father thief Born in the
atmosphere of crime, he took in the art
of stealing with his mothers milk.
Training and al acute mind made him
q place among the most successful
thieves. This SO grt3tihed his deprayed
ambition, that during fortysix years he
devoted himself to crime. Thirty~six
years he lived in prison. He was an old
acquaintance to the wardens of Black.
wells Island and Sing~Sing.
"Well keep your cell warm for you.
Mike, for six weeks. You'll be back by
that time, " said the warden of Sing Sing
prison to him, as he left it, five wears
ago.
The discharged convict smiled, as he
tossed back an "All right, sir! !" and has
tened to his old haunts in the city.
But one day the Master met him. in
the person of an earnest Christian man,
and through his teachings the old Jail
bird found out that he was not only
bad man to his fellows, but a sinful man
before God. Then he discovered that
the Master had come into the world to
seek and save such reckless. outlawed
men as himself
The two facts germinated in his heart
until the,T made him new man. He
abandoned lis old crimes, but his heart
went out towards his old "pals." The
active brain, hitherto used to plan rob-
berries, began to devise way in which
he might save those who should be turn
ed out of prison, homeless and friend

He laid hold of two controlling ideas.
II must" he said he said to himself,
"have home to which I can take the
men l would save 4 discharged con-
vict turned loose into New York City

help must earn what he eats"
When this ex-convict laid out his
plan for saving his 'pals," he had not
cent in his pocket. But he pawned his
coat, and with the proceeds hired

The beginning WAS small and the

eleven hundred discharged convicts,
many of whom he has led into a new
life by persuading them to become
servants of his Master
The little room has given way to a

Household Notes.

Oatmeal porridge is ore of the best
things to begin the day with. Those
who dislike it should take it as q medi
cine.
Coarse b rown paper soaked in rine-
gar and placed on the forehead is good
for sick headache. If the eyelids are
gently bathed in cool water the pain in
the head is generally allayed.
A good way to remove dust from q
carpet is to fasten damp cloth over the
broom: with this the dust may be liter
ally taken up This will be found use
full in the sick room, and also in any
room where there are many small artl-
cles to catch dust. It brightens car
pet to wipe it off in this way even after
the usual sweeping has been done.
When silk is used for working on cloth
a, succession of slender leaves of pictu-
rescue tints of red and brown should be
employed. For this purpose, the native
Indian Tussore embroidery silk is best.
For working on merino or cashmere,
nothing else does so well, for it is as
light as feather and has no ten
dency to draw the material.
For embroidery on satin there is
no kind of silk so pleasant to use as the
shiny and beautiful flofoss, IN which
charming results can be obtained.
CONCERNING Observation-Disclosures
towels of the finest qualities are now
chosen in preference to the smooth
damask towels that are Objectionable by
reason of their smoothness, Harper's
Bazaar says. These old fashioned huck-
aback towels now come of great size,
with diaper figure quite small, yet we'll
raised to make the towel pleasantly
rough. Those in plain white are again
most liked, but the fanciful colored bor-
ders are still seen upon them in Persian
patterns and in figures like those Of
tapestries. The damask towels may al
so be had with either white or colored
borders. For the large Russian batl
towels those Of cotton are preferred te
the rougher linen, and these have new
broche borders that initiate Persian
embroidery in dark colors. The honey
comb and oatmeal towels for the bath
are most durable when bought un-
bleached. ...
