Small bonncts remain in favor, but
are slightly larger than those of last
year. The only changes in shape are
the narrow and short crowns used when
the hair is dressed high, and the more
fully trimmed fronts, which now have IA
puff of lace or velvet, or else a small in
side trimming of lace, bows, or flowers.
There are also round and longer crowns
for those who wear the low Catogan
braid, but the general preference is for
the high slender crown that may be cut

SPIT UPON,
Central African Custom Which is Not
Considered an Indignity.

tohSIuefeu an lndIgnlty.
Most people consider it one of the
worst of indignities to be spit upon, and
yet, according to Mr.. Thomson, splitting
has 'ery different signifcation with
the Nasal of Central Africa from that
which is given to it elsewhere. With
the Nasal it expresses the greatest good
will and the best of wishes.
at takes the place of the compliments
of the season, and you had better spit
upon damsel than kiss her. You spit
when you meet, and you do the same on
leaving. You seal your bargain in a
similar manner. AS | was a lybon (med-
icine MANI of the first water, the Nasal
flocked to me as devotees would do TO
springs of healing virtue, and with the
aid of occasional draughts of water |

The more copiously | spat upon
them, the greater was their delight; and
with pride they would relate to their
friends how the white medicine-man

greatest satisfaction TO the ocular proof

However, their simple faith in the

An Inquest Spoiled.

Thursday afternoon the report came
flashing up town that a man was found
dead lying in the canyon north of the
smelter. Some boys brought the report,
and upon its receipt, Judge Cupit,
Judge James, DIR. Mantor, Constable
Thiriot, Policeman Anderson and full
retinue of citizens and boys started for
the remains of human being stiff and
cold in the embrace of death. Their
march was not the slow measured tread
to the tune of the funeral dirge, but
quick, firm and full of nerve. Before
reaching the spot man was seen lying
PROSTATE upon the ground, and, to all
outward appearances, dead. Here was
evidently a job for the coroner, doctor,
jurymen, undertaken and hverymen !;
all were convinced of this fact as they
approached the PROSTATE form. AS
they silently and solemnly drew nearer,
and when within reach, hand was
cautiously put forth, expecting to touch
the cold, rigid flesh of fellow creature.
1t did touch the human being gently,
at first, but soon discovered that the
life blood was coursing through its
veins, and instead of being in the en-
brace of death, they found to their hor-
ror that the arms of Morpheus were
closely wrapped around him. Disguised
and disappointed a rude shake aroused
the sleeping beauty from his quiet
slumbers. He looked around him with
surprise at first, and then with the most
profound disgust. Surveying the crowd
in this contemplate manner for a
moment, it is alleged he broke forth in
the following strain: "This is hi of
a country if a man can't lie down and
have quite slumber without being dis
turbed by the coroner, doctor, jury
men and undertaken" After unloading
his mind in that manner. he FASTENED
lover the hills and far away" and it is
impossible to find solitary being now
who was present at the inquest. p

EEvADA's TAXES.

Living in Nevada is expensive, II not
exactly luxurious. A sagebrush ex-
change publishes list OF appropriations
made by the late Legislature for the
coming two years, the total being $4lS'-
900. or sos, 450 year. The population
OF Nevada, in 1880, was 62,OOO and has
since materially decreased, until it is
estimated that to-day, the total number
in the State exceeds little, if any, $4,000
persons. This would make the average
tax for State purposes SIS per head, and
as fully one-third of the people are not
taxpayers, including the Indians, chill
dren and people without property, the
burden is laid so much heavier on
others. But this State tax is small at
fair when the county tax is taken into
account. The State tax, from which
this SOC, 45O per year Is derived, is 80
cents on the hundred dollars, while the
county rates of taxation range from
$3.50 to SIS, on the 500; in addition to
thi ISIS poll tax. The average tax per
head, on every man, woman, cnlio,
Indian, Chinaman, pauper, jail-bird,
and tramp in Nevada, for county and
State purposes, cannot be less than $50.
If the people OF Utah were afflicted by
any such burden, they would be willing
to give up the Territory and all take the
underground or some other railway
line for other parts. The aggregate of
the Territorial, county and school taxes
in this Territory is $1.2o on the 500, or
from $3.50 to $40 less than those of
Nevada, and there property is necessar-
lily taxed on its full value, while in
Utah, no man would sell his property
for % per cent more than the assessors
valuation.

The Crescent Tramway.

The Crescent tramway which has
been snowbound all winter has finally
been opened by persistent work and
pluck. The Snow encountered along
the track has been deeper and much
more difficult to remove than was at
first supposed it would be. Since the
opening of the track both first-class an d
concentrating ore has been shipped
over it from the mines, principally for
the purpose of testing the condition of
the track to the concentration and sam
pier, and from present indications it is
presumed shipments will commence
next week and continue uninterrupted
until the snow closes down next fall
over the track in such depth that it will
be impossible for the company to make
shipments. The track has been found
in an excellent condition the entire
length. which proves that great care
was exercised in putting it down SO as
to avoid damages to it by the freezing
and thawing of the ground oyer which
it passes. The shipments of the Crescent
have been large and with their tram
way in good running order throughout
the summer, we confidently beHeye it
will discount any of its previous re-
cords.-Park Record.

RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION.

The dispatch of a few days ago, an
nouncing the big railroad consolidation
of the west and southwest, did not give
the particulars of the combination
which seems to be gigantic in its scope
and proportions. The Southern Pacific
Company, corporation organized by
C. P. Huntington, Leland Stanford,
Charles Crocker, and other Pacific
Coast magnates, has secured control,
through a consolidation, of line from
New Orleans to San Francisco, includ-
ing a number of short branch lines and
State roads IN Louisiana and Texas, the
aggregate mileage of the consolidated
lines being over 2 500 miles. The com
pany has also leased for ninety-nine
years the l, 215 miles of the Central Pa
ciflc, making total of more than 1900
miles of trunk line railway under one
management. The capital of the South
ern Pacific Company is 500, 000, 900, and
the officers are as follows: President,
Leland Stanford; first and second vice
presidents, respectively, =. Z. Hunting
ton and Charles Croker. Huntington
says that he and associates have been
working for years to accomplish
what has been done, and now that
they have succeeded, they propose
that the parties interested as well as the
public, shall be benefited by the arrang-
ment. There can be no doubt that the
interested parties will derive advantage
from the consolidation. but it is not GER
tain that the public will gain anything
from 1t. The experience of the public
is that it suffers less from the compe-
tition than from the consolidation of
competing lines of railway, and there is
no reason to believe that in this Instance
there will be departure from the rule.

officers; pays the mileage and per diem
of the members of the Legislature, and
pays many other bills that the State has
to pay, relieving the people OF
what would be heavy burdens. The
theory and purpose of the Territorial
system of government were wise in in
ception and would be humane and gen.
erous in operation if carried out in The
true spirit. The theory is that the ma
ton will protect and encourage the
Territory in It's infancy, and
bear the expense of maintaining re-
publican form of government during the
weakness and poverty of the new COM
munity; the practice is to pay the cost
of the government, but to treat the
Territory about as conquered colony
would be treated, providing an admin
istration that may be Objectionable or
otherwise without consulting the citi-
zens in the premises. The Terri
torial system has so few advantages
that nobody ever thinks of trying to
make them weigh against the advantages
of self government; and the State
has so many advantages that the people
of Territory would cheerfully shoulder
the additional burdens for the sake of
enjoying the extra privileges.

A Heavy Game of Cards.

Prince Demidoff, Just dead, dispersed
a few years ago, at his palace of San
Donate, near Florence, one of the larg-
est collections of art in Europe, the ac-
emulation of lifetime, and on which
money enough had. been expended to
start good-sized kingdom. Ihave
net the records at hand. but my re-
membrance is that it brought over
$40 600 900 and many months were oc-
cupied in its sale. Not long after the
prince lost $4,000. 900 of the $40, 900, 900
in gambling bout at Madrid, the win
ner being the son of Prussian cabinet
minister of high rank, and the affair in
yolved considerable scandal at the time.
1t was the highest play known in
Europe in recent years, perhaps the
highest ever known, casting into the
shade the exploits of Sarcla, the cele-
brated Spanish gambler, who after win
ming and losing a dozen princely for
tunes, died few years ago in Paris, of
restitution and hunger. The founda-
ton of the Demidoff fortune was laid
by old Anatole, grandfather of the re-
Gently deceased prince, who owned IRON
mines and works in Russia and died the
richest map in the empire and one of
he richest in the world.

THE NEW liquor law in Kansas is
working aboutas prohibitory laws work
elsewhere; that is to say, it is not stop
ping the sale of liquor. A correspond
ent of the Springfield Mass Republican,
writing from Atchison, the other day,
said that he inspected druggists regis
ter, and found that liquor was wanted
for neuralgia, headache, sour stomach,
the baby, the wife, the collie, swelling
on the knee, bowel complaint, hernia
and fifty other causes but the most
popular use was for collie )" The pro-
hibitory law that will prohibit is yet to
be devised.
