Last week Sheriff Cushman notified
the different restaurants and hotels that
he would receive bids for the board of

Ths Brassy Young MAN. and the
Deacon.

A Philadelphia paper relates this
epic tale Of the brassy young man and
the deacon:
Deacon Buggins is rich old cur.
mudgeon who makes great pretensians
to religion, but squeezes Il penny
almost flat before he drops 1t into the
contribution box. He lives in little
village on the outskirts OF the city, and
pays pew rent in the village church.
lie is the solitary occupant of the pew
every Sunday, none but strangers dar.
ing to enter it, for he has an unpleasant
way of asking people To step out. Last
city visited The village and went TO
church. Having heard of the deacon's
pecuiarilies this awful young man
ielt it his duty to walk right into that
particular pew When the deacon
arrived ne glared at the young man
and motioncd HIM to step out of the
pew.
"Thal's all right; come in" said the
young man as if unconscious OF the
deacons meaning.
The latter's anger rose until his eyes
oub vi Ms bCttu IihC ~ pun vi
old fashioned pincushlons, and he
repeated his gesticulatons.
" Come on" coaxed the young man
1.-THE old miser who rents this pew
won't be here to-day: he's home split
ting pennies to put into the contribu.
ton box
The congregation sniokered, and, for
once in his life, the deacon was embar.
raised. He stepped gingerly into the
pew and took seat without paying
further attention to the brassy young
man.
That's correct, old chap remarked
the latter; make yourself comfortable
and eXpectorate on the floor il you
like"
The deacon has purchased lock for
the door of the pew.

Earie A1toinette's Wat IN.

A resident of Ronk onkoma, L. |.
possesses n gold watch which formerly
belonged to the Inflated Marie Antoin-
cite. 1t is about the size of a dollar,
in circumference, and is opcn.faced.
On the back, it bears the device of the
French queen, a cupid on a cloud,
worked in gold and silver The fea.
lures of the boy god are nearly effaced
by long wear. The legend the owner
gives is that the watch was the gift of
the queen to the architect of the Tuil-
cries, who shot himself through the
bead on the day following her eXecu.
tion by the Revolunonists. its present
owner was near relative of a we'll
known American poet, now dead. The
watch came into his possession, as o
gift from his wite's father. who was a
direct descendant of the original re-.
cipient.

An Old Nevada Lawyer Assaulted

Judge Mesick, a gentleman we'll
known in this State and once promi-
nent lawyer ON the Comslock, was
assaulted in Sacramento last week by
a man named Nick Dole, and Mesick,
being pushed to the wall" discharged
pistol twice at Dole, one of which
shots slightly wounded the man Dole.
The event caused great sensation on
the streets. The Judge was taken
under arrest, but Immediately fur
nished bail and was released, and, as
he was acting in pure selfdefense,
will doubtless be honorably acquitted.

Fire At ElnR.

The Iy0 Iaspea3sRt gives the fol-
lowing account of the fire ut Elna
About ten minutes to one O'Clock
las Wednesday morning fire was dis
covered in the buildings al the Elna
furnace. Since the first week of last
November the property has been in
possession of the Sheriff and the keeper,
Sam McMurray, was the first TO dis
cover the fire. McMurray was sleeping
in the clearinghouse, about two hun.
lred yards distant from the furnace;
between the house and the furnace
there is a little ridge in the ground
that shuts from sight the lower part of
the furnace and surrounding buildings,
The fire evidently started near the
ground, and had made good deal of
Roadway before being discovered.
When McMurray gave an alarm a
number of men who were in the board
ing-house FASTENED out, and by their
efforts did much to limit the damage.
The water jacket and other parts of the
furnace itself remain almost uninjured.
The refining works have sustained but
little damage. The greatest loss is by
damage to machinery and loss of
material, such as tools, large scales,
etc. The steam englng is badly
injured but the boiler is not thought
TO be any the worse. A large pile of
| coal was burned up. The total damage
is estimated all the way from $4,000 to
| $4,000 There seems to be some doubt
about the properly being insured; Mr..
Minear says policy was written out
some time ago, but he does not think
any payment has been made upon it
and therefore no insurance could be
recovered. The origin of the fire has
not vel been explained. 1t is about
eleven weeks since any work was done
at The furnace, or any occasion for the
use of any fire in or near any.of the
| buildings around the furnace. A sale
of personal property at the furnace
under execution by the Sheriff, had
been appointed for Wednesday; the
sale came off, but the fire left little to
sell. Holt e. Co, of San Francisco
hold mortgage for $4,000 against
the property. There are also labor
liens and other claims against it.

The Sheriff Contest.

Judge Murphy has decided the suit
over The Sherilf's office in favor of E.
B. Cushman. He held that provision
of the law in relation to establishing
precincts within eight miles of each
other was directory, not mandatory.
Harris attorneys have sent for the
papers in the case and an appeal will
very likely be taken. As it is not
claimed that Cushman is not fairly
elected, but simply that there was an
irregularily in the establishment of a
precinct, 1t seems as though there
should be more than seeming irregu.
larlty to justify an appeal from the
expressed will Of the people to legal
technicality.

A perplexed Senator.

The Carson Appeal says: The
passage of Senate Bill number % in
that body the other day reminds us
that the same measure passed the Sen.
ate unanimously at the last session, but,
by one Of those unaccountable freaks
of legislation which sometimes occur,
it was defeated with equal unanimilv
in the House. That evening the
author Of the bill, Major Dennis, of
Tuscarora, was sitting in meditallve
mood in a chair in the Ormsby House
bar.room when the member of the
Assembly who had moved the indei-
mite postponement of the bill accosted
him as follows:
What are you bordering over,
Sepator?"
Raising his dreamy eyes lazily to
the animated countenance of The ques.
toner, the hero of the White Pine
Indian war, slowly drawled out:
81 was trying to solve the problem
whether there were twenty damn
fools in the Senate. or forty in the
Assembly"

Water for infar,tg.

A physician OF the New York Muir
sery and Child's Hospital believes,
from his practice, that infants gener-
ally, whether brought up ct the breast
or artiticially, are not supplied with
sufficient water, the fluid portion Of
their food being quickly taken up, and
leaving the solid too thick to be easily
dlgested. In warm, dry weather
healthy babies will take water every
hour with advantage, and their fire.
quent fretfuluess and rise of tempera-
lure is often directly due to their not
having ii. A free supply OF water,
and restricting the frequency Of nurs-
ing, has been found at the nursery to
be most effectual check in cases of
incipient fever, a diminished rate of
mortality and intestinal complaints
beng attributed to this cause. In
teeth cutting, water soothes the gums,
and Fl equentiy stops the fretting and
resllessness universal in children at
this period.
