SSg@k@E&s Laura could be friends.
sNIsSlS You are both so dear to
me ~
Miss SouthwelPs voice was q little
tremulous. She was over sixty-fve, a
slim, fragile-looking woman. Her
face reminded You of a white rose
that has lost its early freshness, but
has delicate loneliness lingering
about it still. True, its lines indica-
ted more sweetness than strength of
character, but the expression was so
good, so pure, you felt instinctively
she was one to he loved and trusted.
In the fair complexioned, handsome
face of the young man beside her
there was not one tell tale line of
weakness. The hazel eyes looked
down affectionately into his aunt's,
but his voice, though good humored,
kept its decided ring as he replied:
"But, dear Aunt Lefty, what am I
to do . There's no getting along with
Laura unless you give up to her in
everything, and I'm not disposed to
make myself a slave to the little lady"
81 fear we have petted and spoiled
her among us Aunt Lefty broke
off with sigh.
eyes; that's just the trouble, aunty.
You are so sweet tempered you can't
bear to find fault with anybody, and
Uncle Arthur is just like you. Be
tween you both, you've made per
feet little despot of Laura. It's too
bad, for the girl is naturally frank,
generous, warm-hearted creature.
But come, aunty, you ought to box
my ears for an impertirent young
puppy, as am. | was always great

eyes; but I'm afraid there's a great
deal of truth in what you've said, AL
fred,v in an anxious tone. "You
won't let the foolish child drive you
away! I"
Alfred gave a good humored laugh.
"Aunty, do you think ! take it SO
much to heart rs that. No, no; Laura's
little airs and tempers are rather
amusing than otherwise. Only I hate
to see her growing up into an imam
liable woman
A sharp tap at thedoor interrupted
him. Without waiting for an answer
his cousin pushed it open and march
ed in.
You could scarcely find more
beautiful little face than Laura's, and
perhaps it looked the more prettier
for the flush of anger that crimsoned
it just then. She threw up her head
with the air Of spoiled princess as
she said, fixing her eyes on her cous
in:
GAS the door happened to be ajar,
sir, had the pleasure ofhearing your
last sentence. see you've added
backbiting to your other amiable
qualities, but think you might be
better employed than in trying to set
aunty against me, for I'm the same
as an own child to her, I'm sure.7
Alfred's cheek Redeemed, but he
said, facing her with an unmoved
front: "You were perfectly welcome
to hear every word As for your in
sulting remark about me, / think you
owe me an apology, though I've not
the slightest expectation of receiving
one"

Level Headed.

When IL was suggested to Cleveland the
other day that he might do something in
Illinois that would assist in settling the
Senatorial election difficulty, he said the
duty of electing Senator had been wisely
entrusted to the State Legislature, which
body was ~abundsntly able to perform the
task; at any rate the national administra-
ton could nave nothing to do with the
business. One of the ugliest blots in the
history of the Federal administration was
placed through the interference OF the head
Of the government and his Cabinet in the
election of a successor to Roscoe Conkling.
Tha. interference cost the President his
life and brought q good deal of. trouble to
bis party and to the republic. The Presi-
dent who does his duty to the nation will
find plenty to busy himself with, without
.meddling with State Legislatures in the
election OF Senators.

Announcing engagements.

When a couple are engaged there is sell
dom any sensible reason why all the world
should not know it, and. therefore. the
new fashion of announcing engagements
just before q prominent ball. and having
the ladies and gentlemen congratulated by
their friends, is to be commended. To be
sure, if the engagement is afterwards broken
the thought Of the public congratulations
would be embarrassing, but if the fashion
tends to prevent promise of marriage be-
ing lightly given it will serve good pur-
poses. The girl who might say yes when
asked to marry, with the mental reserva-
ton that if anything better comes along
she will contrive to keep her word, will
think twice about it if she has to go through
such G form. Marriage engagements are
frequently too lightly entered into and
too lightly set aside. The engagement
should be nearly as sacred a contract as
the marriage itself, and it should be such
an engagement that both parties would be
proud to have it known among all their
common acqusin tances.

Paradfse Mime CLOSED.

Reports from authentic sources are to
the effect that the Paradise Valley Com
pany's mine at Spring City. was closed
down yesterday morning, says the Silver
State of Wednesday. The cause was q
disagreement concerning wages. Superin-
tendent McCurdy was paying miners four
dollars per day, and did not want them to
work for less, but he thought that carmen
and those working on the outside sorting
and handling ore should work for less.
This caused the trouble and the Miners
Union was to have met yesterday and take
action in the matter. 1t is hoped that wise
counsels will prevail and that work will be
resumed Immediately, as it would be q
serious injury to the community to have
operations suspended for any great length
of time.

Should be stopped.

Says the editor Of the Tuscarora Times
Review: A large proportion of the silver
dollars in circulation in San Francisco are
covered on one side with circular papers
containing advertisements Of cheap thea
tiers. saloons, etc. The United States law
forbidding the mutilation of coin, does
not cover this method, but il the system
becomes general throughout the Union,
the next Congress should forbid it by
statutory enactment. Mutilated coin
could easily be disguised by this method
and it should be stopped. The writer of
this had several of these pieces when he
left San Francisco, which he intended
bringing home as advertising curiosities,
but he dumped them against a jack-full in
the ungodly town of Elko.

COmstOck Notes.

On Monday last they had some trouble
with the discharge pipe of the hydraulic
pump at the $500 level of the Combination
shaft. A plunge gave way and they had
trouble with two sections of the column,
at a point about 465 feet below the Sutro
tunnel level. Repairs are being made. and
they expect to have the water out in a day
or two. The hydraulic pump ct the
5000 level, the Cornish pump and bailing
tanks will hold the water in check till the
hydraulic pump at the $500 level is at work
again.

day that a body Of good ore had been
found in Best & Belcher at the north side

At an early hour this morning, says the
Carson Tribune Of last Tuesday, the start
ling news was telegrsphed to Carson from
Virginia City that Neil Clarke, delivery
clerk of Wells. Fargo & Co. in that city,
had shot himself through the head with
suicidal intent; that he was still alive but
his death was momentarily expected. Sub
s%equently news Of his death was received.
About 5 o'clock this morning the in
mates Of the house where he was
rooming heard a shot, which upon
investigation proved to be in Clarke's
room, and he was discovered lying
upon his bed in IN unconscious condition
and bleeding from a wound back Of the
right ear, with q smoking pistol lying by
his side. Doctors were Immediately sum-
moned, who pronounced the wound q IA
tai one. The young man fingered until
$3.50 O'Clock, when death ensued. On re-
ceipt Of the sad news General Clarke and
Mr.. Roundtree went to Virginia City, and
from there Mr.. Clarke went TO Reno for
Mrs. Clarke, the boys mother, who was
visiting friends. The body will be brought
