ChaS. Wilson.

Last evening Charley Wilson a
late employee Of the Mint left for
San Francisco where he will per-
manently reside. For many years
Mr.. Wilson has been a prominent
figure in politics in Ormsby, and
had the excellent fortune to be
hated by the Mugwumps. They
used to urge that Wilson was San
Francisco fire Jakey of low degree
and not fit to be recognized among
gentlemen. Wilson is rough dia-
mond, and one Of the squarest men
we ever had the pleasure Of know
ing. His word, once passed, he
regarded with more respect than
some men do their official oaths.
He never made any parade of his
honesty or veracity, but those who
know him best can testify that dur
Ing his residence in this city he has
given out more solid cash in char
lty than any other man in this city.
No poor man or woman ever APP
piled to him in vain, and if these
people would only speak they could
tell OF cords of wood, clothing and
provisions that came to them from
Charley Wilson. On certain day in
each month he had peculiar habit
of going the rounds and paying
every bill he owed. Business in
Carson would be better today if
this town had several hundred
cash-up-pay-as-you-go men like
Charley Wilson, and men who
have a sufficient respect for their
agreements to keep them.

Where the Corruption is.

New YORK, Aug. 13,-The Mail
and Express Washington special
says: After all the uproar about I'M
earthing Republican corruption, the
very first investigation instituted
by the new Administration has re-
suited in pinning to the wall a lot
of hayward Democratic butterflies of
the Coast Survey. That institu-
ton has long been Offered by
Democrats. Not one Of the officials
implicated is said to be Repub-
lican, unless it may be the Disburs-
ing Clerk. He simply did as he
was ordered.

A Thinking Machine.

Chicago Inter Ocean A cult
waited gentleman of French descent
residing in Gallipolis, Ohio, who
has been an invalid for several
years, has just received a patent
for an invention Of more than ordi-
nary merit and of a peculiar char
acter, 1t excites the admiration
and wonder of all who behold it.
Many declare it the equal, in gen
eral utility, to the sewing machine
or telephone. 1t is perfectly won
derful in It's operation, and yet so
simple in its action that child can
learn to use it in few minutes.
1t consists of a pair Of scales,
which announced with unerring ac-
curacy the value of any number of
tons, pounds or ounces at any
price. For instance, a ham is
placed on the scales. Its weight is
twelve and three-Quarters pounds,
and the price is 124 cents per
pound. 4 sliding weight is moved
along the scale beam until the ham
is balanced. In the notch where
the weight stops will be found the
worth of the meat in dollars and
cents to a fraction. Again, sup
pose the grocer is asked for 80
cents worth of tea. The price is
IS cents. One indicator is set at
80, the amount wanted =; the other
at seventy-fve. the price of the
tea. Tea is poured into the scoop
until the scale is balanced when
the quantity of the tea is found to
be as correct as if several minutes
time had been consumed in making
the calculation.

DAYS
And Their Numerous Rn:roGuc-

China Is noted for having more
festivals to the precinct than any
country on the globe. The Chi
nese who come to this country
bring their national holidays with
them. This is probably owing &c
the fact that they can bring festi.
val along without paying any duty
The Chinese are quick to detect
any little flaw in the tariff regula-
tons and take advantage. 1t a
gang Of Californians attempted to
bring an Admission Day or Pic
neer blow out into Canton the Port
Collector would jump them the
moment they cleared the gang
plank.
La the morning when you see d
Chinaman pitch the hoe in cor
ner, put on new blouse and light
out Of the gate, you may know that
l
h, is about to take part in the
Feast of the Golden Lilies" a
prominent festival in the 7th month
calendar of Confucius 231Sth an
niversary. ~-~-.~
When he remarks at night that
he will not show up for three days
Big time Chinatown, alice same
Mclean 10th July" you may I'M
derstand that the New Year is
about to be ushered in. When the
Chinese first came to this country
they only had one New Year, but
Americans got to calling on them
and drinking rice brandy and it
took so well that they punched an
other New Year into the calendar,
which gives them three more days
in the year not to work while their
BAY goes on, The second Chinese
New Year has been quite a success
in this line and more are IN seri-
Gus contemplation. The Feast Of
the Red Roses of the Sun" comes
along in July and enables 1000
Chinese harvest hands to go off on
big drunk while the Caucasian
laborers toll on. We understand
from reliable sources that the Chi
nese in this State are about to re-
wise the calendar so that it will be
in better accord with the climate
of Nevada. The idea is to slide
the non-working and festal days in
to the hot months where they can
be better utilized for Monaghan
purposes. The Chinese calendar
is warranted 10 stand any climate
and not warp out of shape unless
exposed to the sun. In China the
days of the year are all located and
patented with 365 festivals, but by
showing what they can to this coun-
try oyercrowding will be avoided.
While never neglecting the cele
bration of their own festivals, they
also look up to ours with great
promptness, and the time is not far
distant when Cinnamon will only
have three days in the month to
work in. They never let holiday
pass that gives them an excuse to
exchange the industrial imple-
ments for the festive fre-cracker
and trimming brandy bowl. They
call our Washington's Birthday
Festival of the Hatchet-handed
Redeemer of the Empire" Fourth
of July goes as ''Carousal of Three
Nights" Just now the Chinese
are celebrating the accession to
the throne of thirteen-year-old
King with the regular rice brandy
drunk. When two festivals fall on
the same day they 90 double shot
into the celebration.
