Let Lyon BE Represented.

The State Agricultural Society has
decided 10 hold fair at Reno next Sep
TENDER. From our exchanges it is no.
ticed that almost every county in the
State is preparing to make an exhibit,
and as Lyon is one of The riches agri-
cultural counties in the State, it should
be looked after that she is well repre-
sented. Lyon has so far produced the
finest wheat and potatoes OF any
county in any State in the Union, as
has been shown by her being awarded
the premium at the Worlds Exposition
held in New Orleans. The wheat that
took the prize came from the ranch OF
Mr.. Hawley in Smiths Valley, and the
potatoes were dug from the big Italian
ranch on the river, about two miles be-
low Dayton. Do not let the Lyon coun-
ty members Of the society fail to see
that our county has an exhibit at the
fair next Fall.

ANOTHER FRAUD.

Elsie Reynolds, the materializing me-
dunn, OF San Francisco, held seance
At the Avon House, Stockton, last Tues
day evening. New and startling devel-
opments were promised in the adver-
tisement, and developments of anexpec
ted character occurred. When the
"spirit" appeared a gentleman in the
audience suddenly sprang forward and
captured it, which proved no less ma
terialized body than that of Elsie Rey-
holds herself. The affair created much
excitement among those Witnessing it,
and much amusement among outsiders
when they heard Of the occurrence.

The Louisiana Democrats are therefore

me, and you cannot put it too strong,

"The Bed Room of New York"

Brooklyn is not New York. 1t is not
part of New York. 1t is an Independent
city, with government, locality, a
character altogether its own. 1t is stu
ated opposite New York, upon the other
side of the East river, the channel which
flows between the sound and the New y ork
bay. You get from one city to the other
Ivy the ferries, or by the new Suspension
bridge "a noble engineering work,
which must satisfy even an American as
the greatest undertaking OF its kind i'll
the world. Brooklyn is a city of some
seven hundred thousand inhabitants, the
third city in the Union, greatly over
shadowed. of course, by its neighbor
over the river, but still contributing not
a little to the force and moral energy Of
those two millions and a quarter who
live within circle Of ten miles from the
New York postotiice. Brooklyn has been
sometimes called the Bedroom of New
York, " and it is true that many persons
employed during the day in the business
parts of the Empire City have their
homes IN Brooklyn. 1t is, in fact, sub
urb of the great center of trade and &C.
cupation found in the lower part of Man
haitian Island. Brooklyn spreads over
far larger territory than New York, for
the occupation of single house by a
separate family is more common here
than where land is scarce, as in the
neighboring city. Hence its population
is more homogeneous. 1t has fewer mil
lionaires, and lever paupers. 1t is
probably more American, more native,
more Protestant than New York 1t has
more homes less residences; more com
fort, less display. 1t is a middle class
city, rather than city of extremes. In
many parts of it, it is almost rural--a
city Of families, of verdure, of Christian
life, of churches, of preachcrs.-Dr. Ii.

HEALTH HINTS.

NJ. Corson, in the Journal de Phdrmc-
Gle, saws that piece of borax weighing
two or three grains will, if allowed TO
dissolve slowly in the mouth of singer,
remove all traces of hoarseness.
To remove dandrulf put one ounce OF
flour of sulphur into one quart of water,
agitate often for several hours, then pour
off the clear liquid and saturate the head
with it every morning This does not
produce the extreme dryness sometimes
occasioned by the use of borax.
Dr. Charles A. Teale, in a paper on
Asiatic cholera, says that his experience
demonstrates that person must actually
come in contact with the sufferers with
it, or with some clothing worn by them,
in order to contract the disease. When
the isease germs float in the air they are
destroyed. but they can lie dormant in
clothing for long time, and still com
municate the malady to the one who
subsequently handles it.
All are agreed that more dependence
is to be placed on sanitation and hygiene
than on medicines. Diseases can be pre-
vented, but, if serious, they are puzzle
to the doctors of any school. There
are some specifics that are known to be
useful, but no drug is infallible, and
each individual system is new test even
to the best known medicines. The
problem, after all, is not so much how
to cure diseases as how to avoid being
sick.
Experiments have been made by a
committee of French experts, including
NJ. Pastcur, in order to asctr ain the
best means of disnfecting the iambers
in which cases Of contagious affections
have been lodged. The committee re-
port that sulphurous acid gas is the best
dsinfectant; but recommend that in
stead of simply burning sulphur, as is
done in barracks and such places, bisul
phide of carbon should be burned in
rooms, as it is less injurious to furniture

RIOT IN A CEMETERY.
Fight Between French Police and
Communists.
Paving Stones Versus Bayonets---
Eighty People Wounded.

A body of French police and military have
had bloody contest with communists in the
well known cemetery of Pere La Chaise,
Paris. Describing the affair, a cable dis
patch says;
At o'clock this afternoon 8, 900 anarchists
assembled in the Pere La Chaise to decorate
the graves of communists killed in 1871
Violent speeches were made. Shouts
of Vive rAnarchie! Vive la
Commune - and Death to the
bourgeoisl" resounded on every side. An
atheistic association then marched into the
cemetery with band playing, red flag fly
ing and with red banner. Twenty five police
then appeared The officer in command
ordered the anarchists to give up the red
flag. This the anarchists refused to do,
and in reply made sudden rush at
the police, who were getting the worst of it,
when NJ. Anger, the officer in command,
shouted, 'Degainez' A charge and lively
fight ensued. A police reinforcement arrived,
also battalion of infantry of the Garde Re-
publicaine, who, at the command, Charge
bayonetsl Forward, double time" dashed
into the crowd. The anarchists retreated,
jumping over tombstones, lodging behind
graves and monuments, soldiers and police
following.
The scene was most exciting. Grave stones,
sculpture and metallic wreaths were smashed
into a thousand fragments The anarchists
finally made a stand among some newly dug
graves, near which were large piles Of stones
for paving the tombs. A perfect shower of
stones fell among the ranks of soldiers and
police. Here NJ. Garnet, lieutenant Of
police, had his head smashed open with a
stone and fell almost lifeless to the ground.
Another lieutenant had his jaw fractured.
Seven of the police were wounded. Another
detachment Of police managed to take
the anarchists in the rear, dashing into
them with drawn swords, cutting and slash
ing right and left, and so it compelled the
anarchists to beat a final retreat An officer
Of the Garde Republicaine captured
the enemy's red standard. By this
time half the garrison of Paris was under
arms Dragons and the cavalry of the
Garde Republicaine patroled all APP
proaches to the Pere la Chaise. The latest re-
turns show the total number of wounded to
be eighty, of which fifty are anarchists and
thirty soldiers and police, but most of the
wounds are mere Commissions. The anarchists
blood is now aroused and the coming week is
expected to be very lively one

WISE WORDS

Genius is nothing but labor and dill.
gence.
The rays of happiness, like those OF
light, are colorless when unbroken.
In character, in manners, in style, in
all things, the supreme excellence is
simplicity.
When man has no desire but to
speak plain truth he may saya great deal
in narrow space.
Some peoples hearts are shrunk in
them like dried nuts. You can hear
them rattle as they walk.
Victor Hugo's definition of Paradise:
ga country where the parents are al
ways young and the children always
little"
1t is little the sign of wise or a good
man to suffer temperance to be trans
crossed in order to purchase the repute
of a generous entertainer.
Sorrow itself is not so hard to bear as
the thought of sorrow coming. Airy
ghosts that work no harm do terrify us
more than men in steel with bloody pur-
poses.
Smile not on the legend as vain, that
once in holy hands worthless stone be-
comes heap of silver. Let the alchem-
ist be contcntment, and stone or ore
shall be equal to thee.
1t is good to be unselfish and gener-
Gus; but don't carry that too far. 1t
will not do to give yourself to be melted
down for the benefit of the tallow trade;
you must know where to find yourself.
Scratch the green rind of sapling, or
wantonly twist it in the soil, and a
SCARED or crooked oak will tell the act
for years to come. How forcibly does
this figure show the necessity of giving
right tendencies to the minds and hearts
of the Young.
One effect in resisting inclination in
the exercise of judgment is to prevent
hasty decisions. There are emergencies
when rapid judgments must be made and
speedy action must follow but it is like
ly the larger number of conclusions
would be improved by delay.

Where Poe Wrote 1.-THE Raven"

DIR. John j. Moran, who attended Poe
in his last hours and who is anxious to
convince the poetry loving world that
the author of The Raven did notkdie
drunk, says:
"Since his death l have made the &C.
quaintance of Poe's family, and have
many interesting things about him.
Only yesterday made discovery as to
The Raven 1t was written in the
house of a New York gentleman. The
gentleman's daughter, then girl of thir-
teen or fourteen years, is now the wife Of
a distinguished general. She used to
see Poe at work on The Raven and
often saw him give her father his manu-
script to lock up in his iron safe at night.
Her father used to deal in plaster and
clay casts, and on a shelf over the door of
the room in which the famous poem was
composed was bust of Pallas. The
lady told me that she never saw Poe
under the influence of drink, and neither
did her father. That is an answer to
those who say that the poet was drunk
or delirious when he wrote The

DRIVEN AWAY.
DEGREES ExpeIiing 10000 Russian
Poles from Prussia.

Private letters from Posen and Silesa de-
cribe the present expulsion by Germany, at
Russia's request, of Russian Poles from those
provinces as being attended by the most crue,
and heartrending incidents. Many of the Poles
who are now being driven out have been
settlers in German territory for many years
and have thoroughly identified themselves
with local interests. Most of them went to
Posen and Sllesia to escape from intolerable
despotism at home. The DEGREES of expulsion
issued by Herr Won Puttkamer, German min
lister of the interior, affects about 30, O)O
Poles resident in Germany. Eight thousand
of these have already been arrested without
warning and conducted to the German
frontier by russian troops.
The remainder OF the so, 600 ordered out of
the empire consist of those who had obtained
sion gives these short respite in order to
allow them time to settle up their affairs,
dispose OF their property and otherwise pre-
pare for extradition. Whole villages have
already been depopulated, and the refu gee
inhabitants turned over to the Russian au-
thorities at the German frontier. Numbers
of the poor Poles are fleeing into Austria TO
escape enforced return to the land of their
birth.
The news of all this cruelty has cast tho
chill OF despair throughout Russian Poland. II
is all interpreted by the Niennese as a fresh
evidence of the binding nature of the present
connection between Germany and Russia
and OF their united policy to entirely suppress
the Polish nationality.

Superstition in Afghanistan.

Medicine among the Afghans is in a
crude form. 1t is a tumble of supersti-
ton with here and there grain of sense
intermixed. Even the wel-todo peo-
pie of the peasantry live in mud houses
consisting of one room, windowless and
with one small door of exit. Here the
family, however large, live and sleep.
Chimneys are unknown, or indeed, any
kind of smoke hole, or ventilator. Wa
ter for drinking purposes is often OBJ
tanned from small rivulet, a branch of
the canal, generally impure, muddy
stuff. Yet when the people are sick,
they ascribe it to the evil influence Of
malicious jinns who are always wander
ing about, ready for any wicked mischief.
The people believe that if a man sick
with smallpox hears thunder, he be-
comes deaf, hence tom toms (drums) are
beaten round him during a thunder
storm that he may not hear the fatal
sound. Incantations, jugglery and
charms are popular remedies. If the pa
tient RECEIVERS, well and good; if he dies,
he lacks faith. A favorite cure for
jaundice is twig taken from a tigtree,
cut into forty pieces, breathed on by the
Koresh wise mem and the pieces strung
and hung about the sick PERSONS neck.
\ seven to ten days abstinence from
food is enjoined, and the patient gets
well. or else he does not. Occasionally
the treatment becomes more practical, as
in the following case of sweating pa
tient:
An only son of one of the better-class
peasants was taken ill.,
I'm so cold, and then I'm so hot and
my head aches !" the lad complained
His mother, being anxious, went to
the house of the Moolah Learned doctor
to get a remedy for her son. The good
man prayed, and gave her an amulet
with strange cabalistic figures on it, and
babe her go home and put it about the
sick boys neck and it would drive away
the wicked Jim that was troubling him.
The woman did so, but the lad grew
worse. Then the Koran and a sword
were laid on the quilt beside the boy,
and another amulet, with wonderful ex-
orcising power, was hung on the bed
post; and the poor distraught mother
drove pegs into the grave of buried
saint, hung rags on the tree above it, and
prayed in vain. The Jim wouldn't go,
but the sick boy grew more feverish.
Then the father determined to try the
great Pathan remedy, which is practised
all over Afghanistan. lie had sheep
slaughtered and skinned, and after rub
bling oil and turmeric upon the skin,
wrapped his son in it while it was hot.
Then he laid the boy on the bed and
shut the door, so that not a breath of
air could come in, and covered him up
with heavy quilts.
At the end of twenty four hours the
lad was no better, so the skin was re-
moved and fresh one substituted. This
time it had the desired effect, for before
ten hours were past the sick boy said, in
a weak voice: Father, l have become
water"
"Allah be praised" exclaimed the
parents.
For several hours longer the lad wore
the sheepskin, that the cure might be
certain; and when at last it was removed,
the poor boy had perspired so freely that
he presented a general parboiled appear
ance, but the fever was conquered.
