DON'T BE TOO SURE.

There are forty five straight sill
yer votes in the Senate besides
others that have not yet expressed
themselves and two-third vote is
confidently expected to carry the
measure through both houses oyer
the Presidents veto.-Ex.
1t is v ry true that just now the
outlook for silver is very good.
Unexpected friends have appeared
in its behalf and the goldites seem
to be demoralized and President,
Cleveland and Secretary Manning
are very anxious about the situa-
ton. All this is very pleasant to
the silver men and it may have the
effect to cause them to get oyer con-
fident and cease their endeavors to
defeat the great conspiracy. This
will be a fatal mistake. The fight
should be kept UP steadily and
ceaselessly. The friends of silver
all over the Union must keep up
the warfare and continue to expose
the tricks and misstatements OF the
powerful bank ring. The mere
fact that Congress appears friendly
to silver just now is not proof pos
tive that the battle is won. 1t only
means that the outer works have
been stormed, while the citadel is
sill being guarded by President
Cleveland, Secretary Manning
Treasurer Jordan and combined
hosts of Wall Street, the banks and
all the bondholders everywhere.
Over-confdence now would be fatal
to our cause.-Reveille.

THE ANTI-CHINESE MOVE
MENT.

There will be another meeting o.
the Anti-Chinese League at the
Old Theater Hall this evening
to perfect a permanent organiza-
ton,
The citizens of Carson seem gen.
orally in sympathy with the move
ment, and there is every assurance
that it will be in the hands of men
who will give it the attention it de-
serves.
The league propose to open
bureau to supply with good white
labor all vacancies caused by the
displacement of Chinese labor.
It is held by many that white
labor cannot be found to take the
place of discharged Cinnamon.
The work of the Labor Bureau will
be to ascertain just how true or
false the statement may be. We
hear two statements regarding this:
The hirers of Chinese labor say
that they cannot secure white men,
and on the other hand we con-
stantly find white men who are out
of employment and anxious to get
work.
There seems to be a misunder-
standing some where and we
are of the opinion that inside OF
thirty days the Bureau, if it is prop
erly organized can arrive at some
conclusion founded upon the facts
of the case. If it be found that
the idle men in this vicinity do not
wish to work, it will be easy to
draw upon San Francisco for Ia
Dor supply, for the papers pub
lished there say there are theus-
ands of men anxious to earn a dol
lar a day, and that many are work
Ing for even less.
The Laber Bureau of San Fran
cisco could at a days notice fur
nish 100 men for this city, and as
much female help also, if it were
needed.
First give our local unemployed
chance, and if that opportunity
is rejected, as many claim it will
be, the unemployed whites of San
Francisco can be gwen chance to
earn their bread. There are many
in this city who oppose this move
ment on the ground that it is not
needed. Admitting this to be the
fact, it might be we'll enough first
to give the matter a trial, as the
trial proposed involves no trouble
boycotting, or coercion OF any sort,
1t is alleged that when white
men raise vegetables they charge
two prices. This may be the case
from the fact that at present
there are but few white men
in the business in this vicln-
ity. If we were to quit purchasing
of the Chinese it would encourage
so many whites to 60 into the bust
ness that the sharp competition
would soon regulate the prices.
Money is getting too scarce in
this city to have thousands of dol
lars of it shipped to China by
Wells, Fargo every month.

A CARES.


Oh, who can tell the thousand cares a
mother only knows,
From earliest dawn of morning light till
evenings glad repose?
The stitches and the steps she takes
there's nobody can count,
Or number all her busy thoughts, and
tell us their amount;
But this I'm sure-frOm mornings dawn
till evenings silent close,
A mother has a thousand cares a mother
only knows.
Just see her little family, suppose it
numbers nine.
Who, eighteen scores of times a year,
must breakfast, sup and dine;
So often must the snow-white cloth upon
the board be spread,
For self and Observation-Disclosures four,
two sons, and kitchen maid;
So often must each dish be washed, each
fork and spoon and knife;
Who wonders if the mother fades amid
the cares of life.
L said her little family-'tis not so very
small,
And yet it's hers to wash, and bake, and
brew and mend for all.
She may have help. But who knows not
most modern help removes
No very heavy cares, except "the fishes
and the loaves"?
SO week by week and year by year, to
"manage" her affairs,
She meekly tolls to guide the house
amid a thousand cares.
She's not a moments time to waste, but,
steady as the clock,
She knits the boys their Winter hose, or
darns a daughters frock;
She's waiter to a thousand wants, and
hears a thousand pleas
From hungry ones just come from school,
or babe upon her knees;
And not a bruise does one receive, but,
oh! she shares the smart,
With all the deep, warm sympathy that
thrills a mothers heart.
IT'S she that rocks the graded babe with
kind and patient heart;
The earliest at the couch Of pain. the
latest to depart;
She tolls and tolls the livelong day, and
when she seeks repose,
Her busy thoughts will scarce allow her
weary lids to close.
Whose ears like hers the whole night
long attends each painful noise,
The croupy breathing of her girls, the
coughing of her boys?
Nor will she from the Summers heat
nor Winters GOODNESS shrink,
But rises in the sultry night to give her
children drink;
And when the wintry wild winds howl
and urge the drifting storm.
She'll rise and spread an extra quilt to
keep the children warm.
There's none so full of cares as she upon
the wide, wide earth.
And yet a mother is not priced one-half
mothers worth.
Forgive me then, this fond attempt from
thoughts of other days,
To rear to mothers memories a monu-
ument of praise;
For one yet lives upon the earth for
whom my heart doth swell
With flial gratitude and love as words
can never tell.
That one is she who gave me birth, who
mid a thousand cares,
Poured out, and still pours out, for me a
mothers yearning prayers

Tie IIOrsc's JEoutIa.

Aph he, or thrush, disease of the
mouth, is very common among young
horses. 1t consists of small red patches
and vesiclcs on the side of the cheeks ;
also on the tongue. The mouth is hot
and feverish, and the animal will fire.
qucntly allow the food to fall out of it
from inability to masticate. The prin-
cipal means to be employed are paste
made from equal parts Of honey and
powdered bayberry bark. or borax, the
parts to be Amounted every night. To
promote healthy action and purify the
blood, give one ounce OF flour of sui
phur, two ounces of powdered golden
seal, and one ounce of powdered sassa-
fras, mix and divided into four parts,
mixing one part in scalded shorts every
night. This treatment applies to all
classes of stock.
There is no doubt that colt some.
times suffers considerable pain in teeth
ing, in consequence of the resistance
which the teeth encounter from unyield-
Ing gums. The pain does not arise, rs
some suppose, from the point of the tooth
pressing upward against the gum, but
from the downward pressurc-thc roots
of the tooth COMPRISING the dental
nerve consisting in local irritation,
which, if not relieved, deranges part or
the whole of the lcrvous system. The
remedy is sharp gum lancet. Make an
incision right down to the point of the
tusk or tooth, and the animal generally
experiences relief. If he labor under
sympathetic fever, appear irritable and
nervous, give him drachm of asnfpt
ida, in thin Cruel; keep the bowels solu-
BILE, and let the diet be light.

Scoring the Cinnamon,

The engineer of an ocean steamship in
the course Of conversation wi h New
York Tribuae reporter said: ~ have ON
book in the engine room curious
table of dates and figures, which shows
to me the exact time for every miie m de
by different steamers which | have en-
gIneered across the ocean for the last
fourteen years. If anything more than
usual occurs jot it down opposite the
date, and so make sort of diary of it..
1t speaks vo vines to me- and recalls
many interesting memories. For in
stance, was looking through it the
other day, and found opposite Novem-
Der 10, 1875, reference to visit from
Cinnamon. The incident was recalled
to my mind in a moment, and laughed
heartily over it to myself Thi, is what
it meant. One day while lying in port
VIC were visited by several Cinnamon
who were anxious to inspect the ship.
They were au ignorant set, and had
never seen any machinery worked by
steam. The captain was good-nature6
fellow and allowed them to come below,
although they experienced some doubts
as to the ACCESSIBILITY of so doing. They
were very timid, and it took some time
for me to convince them that the ma
chinery was harmless. Finally l got
two of them to come close to the heavy
driving rod, which you know on large
vessel is an enormous piece of iron. Sud
denly, without warning, it gave start
forward, and, accompanied by a loud
puff of steam, leaped fully ten feet above
our heads. Angry at my assistant for
letting on steam without my knowledge,
turned to speak to him when my atten-
ton was attracted toward the stairway.
The last two Cinnamon of the party were
making frantic endeavors to jump up
half dozen steps at time The rest
had disappeared. and before could get
on deck the whole crowd had got into
their boat and started for the shore. No
amount of persuasion could ever get
them to return to that ship, VIII CHI they
claimed was alive. 1t was mean trick,
but it has afforded me a good laugh
since"

Plant Fond.

No animal manure ntalns any value
except what goes into the animal as food.
The manurial value of ton of clover
hay is placed at about 50; of roots, eighty
cents; cotton seed meal and linsccd
meal, about $50. But as roots can often
be bought very low, at SO or 81 rer ton,
and COWS may cat bushel or more per
day, the m,nure made in day may be
# nearly equal value whichever food IS
given.
AS wood ashes. un' cached. are com.
ple.c plant food. they are often under
valued, yet, compared to other potash
compounds, they are worth. for their
potash, only fourteen or fifteen cents per
bushcl.
Neither p'aster, salt nor lime can be
call, manure, AZ they contain neither
of the three elements we need buy. They
may htli develop plant that is already
in the soil. If they were plant food
continued application would enrich the
lawn, which every one knows they do
not. Humus is not plant food, but it
helps the land to hold plant food. Stable
manure is valuable for the small amount
Of plant food contained in it, but The
microscope can hardly detect it. the pro-
portion is so small compared to the
inert portions.
