J. b. Dazet, merchants of Virginia City,
were doing business in Lyon county,

No Indian schools This Year.

The Appeal says; A private letter
from Washington states that Nevada
will have some trouble getting the APP
preparation for her Indian school from
the fact that her appropriation has been
exhausted for this year. The Depart
ment stated that the money tor this pur-
pose lay there for years, but none of the
Nevada representatives asked for it and
Of course it was not rendered. 1t could
have been had at any time for the ask
ing, but nobody cared enough about it
to ask, SO Of course we wait Tor another
year.

Chinese question Monday evening. He
has agreed to do so, and we think he
will make the best speech ever de-
livered in the Court House on that sub
ject. The Carson papers spoke in terms
of the greatest praise Of the speech he
delivered there in the theatre, and every
Daytonite should make it point to at

THE BOYCOTT-NEW IN NAME
ONLY.

EDITOR TINES :-There are various
reasons urged against the boycott, and
among them the assertion that it is new,
unusual and severe. That it is severe
am ready to admit, but as for being
new or unusual, | am as prompt to deny,
and shall proceed to cite a few promi-
nent examples in support of that
denial
The very first instance or record is to
be found in an old non sectarian religi-
GUS publication called the Holy Bible,
some of your readers | have no doubt
have seen this curious volume, in which
it is set forth that gentleman named
Adam and his wife, were boycotted and
made to leave very hne ranch and all
their property and skip the country
without even a shirt to their backs. l
have even heard it intimated that some
distant relatives of this man Adam are
subscribers for the TINES, but are back
a long time on their subscriptions. But,
as time and space are valuable l will
skip all foreign countries and call your
attention to an event which occurred at
the town of Boston, Mass, some years
ago, and is known as the "Boston Tea
Party" The causes which prompted
the action and proves it to have been
purely and simply boycott, are aptly
set forth in a ballad of that time which
runs somewhat as follows: -
Then take your takers home King George,
TIL cir tyrsnt rule is DER,
We love cup of tea full well.
But we love our freedom more.
Then overheard it goes my boys,
Where darkli g waters roar.
We love cup of tea full we'll
But love our freedom more.
oh, then we'll steep our roots and herbs.
Aud turn yours in the sea;
An let the shrimps and porposies,
Pay your taxes on your tea.
Another noted instance of boycotting
was inaugurated by somewhat noted
American, familiarity called "Old Hick-
ory," but whose true name was Andrew
Jackson. Mr.. Jackson upon becoming
President Of the United States, con-
ceived the idea that "to the victor be.
longs the spoils." He accordingly boy
colted all holding appointments under
the government, whose political faith
differed from his own, and upon remoy-
ing them supplied their places from
among his own political followers. The
system of boycott then established OBJ
tains to the present day as witness, our
own efficient Postmaster. A more re-
cent example was planned and carried
out by another noted American named
Grant. who some twenty odd years ago
established boycott in and about the
good city Of Vicksburg, Miss, and was
SO inexcusably pig-headed about it,
that a fine large army, that had been
stationed there, was almost starved to
death. Yet great many people said
that Grant was great General, and
did very fine thing.
In conclusion will say that, the boy
colt, wherever resorted to and by what
ever name it has been known, when sys-
timatically persisted in, has never failed
to accomplish the object for which it
has been instituted.

ANOTHER OLD RESIDENT
GONE.

River to join His Brothers in
the Great Beyond.
Last Monday evening about 10
o'clock our little community was made
aware of the death of Charles Gruber,
of the Union Hotel. Notwithstanding
Mr.. Gruber had been in i'll health for
some time past, and his death was look
ed for at almost any moment, the news
was a severe shock to his family and
friends. Mr.. Gruber was around the
hotel all day Monday and expressed
himself as feeling much better than he
had felt for some time. About 10 o'clock
DIR. Herrick, Of Carson, who happened
to be in town was hastily called to the
bedside, and upon arriving there found
there was no hope. In few minutes
after the patient was dead, rheumatism
of the heart being the disease that car
ried him off.
Mr.. Gruber was native OF Germany
and was born in .IS32, consequently al
the time of his death he was 81 years
old. He came to America in IS4S and
to this coast in 1852. In 1860 he came
to Nevada and for time resided in
Silver City. There he married in 1867
and in the same year opened the Union
Hotel in Dayton. Mr.. Gruber was
member Of several Orders and his life
was insured in these TO the amount Of
about $500, which will be Of great
benefit to his widow and seven children.
The funeral Of the deceased took
place from the Court House at 3 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon under the au.
spicies of Valley Lodge No. g, F. & A.
NJ, and was largely attended. The
funeral sermon was preached by the
Rev. Mr.. Bradshaw. The choir, COM
posed OF w. IL. NJ. Cobb, Mrs. NJ. L.
Johnson, Miss Kitlie Fly and Mr.. Seely,
sang several very appropriate and beau
tiful selections. Mr.. Bradshaw's ser
mon was one which will long be re-
membered by all who attended. He
made a few remarks at the beginning
in which he stated that he did not be
lieve in preaching gloomy sermons on
such occasions, but thought that the
best idea was to utter only words OF
consolation in as cheerful a manner as
possible. That death is thing that
we should all prepare for, but that it
was wrong 10 look at 1t as terrible
thing. 1t was only passing into dit
ferent life, and the body over which the
friends wept was but SO much clay
only the casket that held the Splut that
had flown. Ills words carried convic-
ton to the heart Of every listener that
he was sincere in the belief of all he
said. 1t was beautiful sermon, full
of sympathy. At the close an oPpor-
tunity was afforded those who SO desired
to view the face OF their friend and
townsman for the last time before it
was placed in its last resting place.
The funeral cortege then proceeded
to the burying ground, and was com
posed Of large plumber Of deceased's
friends from Virginia City, Carson, En-
pire, Sutro. Silver City, Gold Hill and
Dayton. 1t was the largest funeral pro-
cession that has been witnessed in Day
ton for many years.

pend upon the goodwill and cheeriness
and loving kindness with which these

Can Try for Themselves.
1t wasn't a pleasant afternoon.
All the forenoon it had rained as hard
as it could pour, and now the sky was
cold and cloudy. and the garden walk
was full of puddles, and the maple
boughs were dripping.
The fog was so thick, too, that the
children could scarce see grandpa's
house, just across the garden; and of
course such thing as playing out Of
doors wasn't to be thought Of for
minute.
What shall we do?" asked Ava,
drawing deep sign.
Mamma was making the sewing-ma-
chine hum like bee over heap of lit
tie ruffies, but she heard the sigh and
the doleful question, and looked up just
in time to see Edna squeeze a shiny
tear-drop out of one brown eye.
why, why don't you play with your
dollies?" she asked.
But the dollies had been naughty,
and were put to bed for an hour, Ava
said.
..And, of course, we can'tlet 'em get
up, less we'd tell lie,' said she.
''Sides, I'm tired of 'em. Oh dear!
And we don't know any thing to do"
Mamma smiled. In minute more
the sewing-machine stopped humming.
Mamma had thought of something.
She got three bits of broom-corn,
one about foot in length.
The other two were Just alike, and
not more than three inches long; and
mamma bent these in the middle like
the letter V turned upside down. Then
she hung them on the long piece, one
at each end. She took the very ends
of the long piece between her thumbs
and fore-fingers, and held it enough
above the table so that the ends of the
short pieces just touched, letting them
lean little towards each other.
..Now watch them," said she to the
children.
They watched; and before you could
count ten, Ava cried:
..O-oh! Why-why, mamma, they're
walking right up together! Why.

'.Why, now vey've bumped noses!"

So they had; and mamma pulled out

standing there, points together. Then
she had to try it over again.
..Why, isn't it funny?" said Ava.
"What makes 'em, mammal"
Mamma laughed. That's the mys-
terry" said she. ''You may try it, and
see if you can find out"
