Have you been reading much this
winter, Mr.. De Musselbrain ?" inquired
a young lady ON Connecticut ave-, of a
few evenings ago.
"Oh, no, Miss Dorritt, of course not,
don't you know" he replied confidently.
Indeed Why not? ," she asked, in
some astOnishment.
"Oh, because, Miss DOrritt, don't
you know, the newspapers never con-
tain anything but baseball, don't you
know during the winter. When the
season fully opens, don't you know,
expect to read a great deal, don't you
know. - Washington Critic.

Bristor Put Out.

Another exciting and by far the most
sensational event in the celebrated
Bristor case took place on Wednesday
evening when DIR. BristOr and a mum.
Der of his friends were elected from
the Methodist parsonage at Spring Val
ley. The parsonage was rented and
paid for by the members of the Metho-
dist church, and has been occupied bv
the BrlstOrs ever since he went to
Spring Valley. Several weeks ago
when BristOr's connection with the
church ceased he was requested to
move out of the house.
This he steadfastly refused to do.
and on Monday evening a notice was
served on him, giving him As hours to
Vacate. The time passed and he still
remained in possession, together with
number of friends who had gone to
the parsonage to see what would be
done. Soon after p. m, Constable
Fisher and two aids, followed by over
100 other persons, entered the house
and commanded the occupants to leave
at once. They declined to 90, but
were advised by DIR. BristOr not to offer
any resistance if force was. used.

Wood, one of Mr.. Bristor's strongest
friends, and told him to get out.
Wood refused and dared the officer to
put him out "All right" said the con-
stable, then out you CO." and seizing
Wood by the neck he threw him out
of the door clear into the middle
of the road. A half dozen others were
treated in the same manner, upon their
refusal to vacate. Then it came to the
ladies' turn. Although it required
some force to get them out they were
not treated so rudely as the men. Dr.
Bristor waited on the outside till all
had been put out, and then, getting be-
tween two of the women, he marched
up the street to Woods house where
he spent the night. No one in Spring
Valley will rent him a house and he is
dependent on the kindness of his
friends for shelter.

ANTI-CHINEsE EXPENsEs.-China
has asked for 100000 damages for the
anti-Chinese riots at Rock Springs.
These riots took place on the I'd of last
September. They were an unprovoked
attack by crowd of English, Scotch.
Irish, Welsh and Scandinavian coal
miners on a number of Chinese, all in
employ of the Union Pacific. Twenty
two Cinnamon were killed and their
bodies recovered twenty-six more are
thought to have been killed and are
still missing, and 100 houses, mostly
belonging to the Chinese, were burned
and all their money and property lost.
These facts were all proved and sworn
to before the Government Directors of
the Union Pacific. It will be seen,
therefore, that China's demand is both
just and moderate, China evidently
values the life of one of her subjects at
less than five hundred dollars. High
or low, the indemnity will have to be
paid, as it ought. But the mere indem-
nifty is the least part of the expenses
to the nation of such affairs. All bust
ness is stopped. There is the expense
of moving troops, and of conducting
Investigations, and of property de-
strOyed, not to speak of the induce
ment to general lawlessness which is
caused by the federation of such out
RACES. They all ought to be stopped
peremptorily, and the more so because
in nearly every recent case the Chinese
Outrages have been committed by for
eigners and not by American citizens,
thank fortune.

MAKINK VEAL.-There is one feat
ure ofthe dairy that is not often worked
as it should be, and that is making
veal. All the bull calves and many of
the heifers can be turned to much prof
it if they are handled skillfully. To
make good veal, the calf should not
only be fat and of proper age when
killed, but the fat should be put on un-
der proper conditions. If allowed too
much exercise, there will be not only
much delay in arriving at the proper
condition, the flesh will not be so ten
der and juicy as 1t should be. 1t mat
teIs not whether the calf is raised on
the dam or by hand, if the latter meth
ed is properly pursued. Wesget the
following excellent plan from an ex-
change: You want to take the calf off
the COW at three days old have q muz-
zle made for it similar to the one they
sometimes have for dogs. Keep it in a
clean dry, airy but darkened room, and
feed on nothing but pure and skinned
milk, warm and fresh from the COW,
twice or three times a day; give it all
it can take, and it will get fat in six or
eight weeks. The muzzle is for the
purpose of preventing it from taking
straw, hay, or other foreign substances.
The darkened room is a great factor in
this fattening process, as it keeps the
calf quiet and induces it to sleep n
great deal, which greatly hastens the
fattening process. This method is, of
course only for raising calves for veal
If the object is to make mixers of the
calves, they need exercise and slow
growth of slower methods. Good
veal is too much of & rare article in
the market, and calves properly fat
tened should bring enough more than
ordinary calves to pay we'll for the ex-
ira trouble, if it can be called trouble,
to keep them in a dark room.

OVERWORK IN MILLs.-Mr. John
DobsOn, of the firm of John Dobson &
Sons, Philadelphia, one of the leading
firms in the country for the manufact-
ure of textile fabrics, is one of the in
telligent employers lof labor in this
country who takes a humane and intel
ligent view of the perniciOus effects of
everlasting female engaged in factO-
rles. Mr.. DObsOn in a recent interview
said that law should be passed pro-
hibiting females employed in factories
from working over time and exhaust
ing their systems. The evil results of
this, he said, would spring up and be-
come more apparent when we find that
we have upon our hands a race of
stunted beings, who will become inca
pacitated ia perform the duties devolv-
ing upon them. He further said that
he had seen this in England and in
other countries, where women were
only valued for the amount of cheap
labor they could perform. Continuing,
Mr.. DObsOn says the sooner Americans
awaken to the necessity of preserving
the health of women the better it will
be for all cOncered. Instead of the
sturdy race, of which we are so proud,
there will be nation of dwarfs. Such
a law if passed, he said would give en-
plOyment to more persons and the
question of pay would adjust itself.
The law in regard to children working
in factories should also be made more
rigid. Mr.. DObsOn has struck KEY
note of argument which cannot be cas-
lily contrOverted. The habit of work
ing women and children, not to say
anythind of men, an hour or two very
often more of overtime, cannot fail to
be injurious in a mental and physical
sense. Where there is so much labor
waiting to be employed as there is in
this country, there is no need for the
prOlOngatiOn of the legal stipulated
hours of labor, and indeed the uues-
tion which is gathering force and vol
ume in this country is whether eight
hours labor are not sufficient for days

Nevada County picayune., 1886-02-17
Yotume TX: No. I.

With this issue of the PICAYUNE the paper enters upon its ninth year.
 On the 11th day of February, 1878, E. E. and w. B. White, is. sued the first number of the paper, which has been published continu. ously ever since, not missing an issue.
 The present editor and proprie- tor has been connected with the paper since early in the fall of 1881. When we became connected with it, a patent side was used, and had been most of the time since it was founded, but having a strong an tipathy to same, we discarded 1t in short time and have since run it on the all home print style.
 As to the influence the PICAYUNE has wielded and the course it has pursued, we will say we trust it has been for good since our con nection with it, and prior to this, was, as far as we know, in the same line. The paper has been strong advocate of Democracy and self.government by the people, and in this doctrine will contin,e. We shall ever be found openly ad- vocating such measures and issues, as we think for the veal of our common country, and reserve the right to criticize public servants or aspirants for office in our party, as we'll as outside.
 We were born and reared in the State of Georgia, where we lived up to the time of com ing to Prescott, and believing in the doctrine "pay as you go, we have established the PIcAYUNE on substantial basis, and the pa per has a home and office of its own. free from all membranes, and have also added much new material in the way of a new quar- 10 medium Peerless job press and about thirty fonts of new job and display type making the office one of the most complete in the State.
 To many kind friends who have stood by us and rendered kindly as sistance and patronage, and encour. agement, we return our heartfelt thanks, and hope to merit con tiuuance of the same.
 In conclusion will say, we ex- pect to keep the PICAYuNE up to and above the standard of country weeklies. No pains, labor or ex. pense will be spared to make of it live, progressive, aggressive, newsy paper, md fit visitor for every home in this section or wherever it may be sent.

Misrepresentation

NIT. Joe R. Harrell has handed us copy of the Columbus dnd.) Herald of the 12th inst, containing some gross msrepresentations sbout Arkansas from one "H. r. Woods,n that peeds correction. Sorry we have not room :o publish in full tbe article and answer in detail. The writer said he came to Gurdon via the St. l.. l. NJ. x S.. R. R., and bemeaned it as the poor est railroad in the country. Said the lands in Arkansas were utterly worthless and valueless; that there were no stock here and made fun of the hogs. That there was but one advantage here-the mild win ters. That living costs twice as much here as in Indiana.
 Now, MT. Harrell is an honora. ble and truthful gentleman. He is subscriber of the Herald, having moved here from near Columbus, Ind, where said Woods halls from. He says the whole article is false from beginning to end. That Woods knows nothing about this country, and it is as good, if not superior for all classes, il they will but work.
 It is evident Woods is ebronic kicker, aud we might say with rqnal truth, a protiigate and worthless fellow. We will be glad to get shed of his kind. He knows nothing about railroads, or he would not have beraied the Iron Mountain, ona of the best and most thoroughly equipped roads of the South. Garden is a small town l5 miles above Prescott, and We have no idea Wood ever was two miles from that town, or that dis lance from the railroad in the loabtrr, o he could know nothing

ATTORNEY GENERAL GARLAND owns 5500,000 in the an-Electric telephone stock, acquired before he was honored with the office he now holds, through legal process as attorney for the company. The suit brought against the Bell tele- phone, to prove the validity of it's patent was not instituted by MT. Garland. The two telephones are rivals and the Bell claims its com petitor is infringing on itspatents. While we very gravely doubt the propriety of Mir. Garianfs situa- tion, still it cannot be said he has acted wrongfully in the suit insti- ,nted.

The Teachers.

The meeting of the South West Arkansas Teachers Association last Saturday at Hope will be long remembered by the teach CTS. It was decidedly the lar gest and most enthusiastic meet ing held since the organization of the Association. Every topic on the programme was thoroughly discussed, ani there were no changes made in the printed pro- grammes. About thirty-ive or for ty teachers were present. The large room in the Hope School building was crowded day and night. Certainly no people know better how to entertain teachers than the good people of Hope. Their doors and hearts were open to us, aud we all felt that we were tIuly welcome.
 Mrs. Sue King and Miss Gully, teachers of whom our Association is proud, deserve the thanks of the association for the manner in which they perfected arrange ments. Music was interspersed with other exercises and enlivened the occasion considerably. Thanks to Mrs. Giles and her assistants for their interest.
 Miss Culley opened the morn- ing exercises by work on the moulding board. Quite number of little children were in her class. Miss Matte Owen followed this with very interesting suggestions and methods in busy work for children. Prof. c. A. Hays fol- lowed on methods of reading, il- frustrating the word method. He used the chart and had a class of three lit'le girls.
 Miss Minnie Connevey followed on the same subject, but directed her remarks to moro advanced reading. In future article We will give Nevada County teachers the benefit of her very superior methods and suggestions. The subject of reading was discussed at length by various teachers.
 At the afternoon session, Prof c. l.. Sampson read an excellent paper on "Attentlon," which was discussed by several. "Methods in Geography" for grammar grades was illustrated with actual class work by Mrs. King. She had about twelve pupils at work. She had also numerous maps and an theses for examination. Miss Elm ma Kirkland read an excellent paper on the salne subject.
 The night session was charac. terized by the greatest enthusiasm. The Egyptian Empire" was the topic. Its geography, religion, dress, civil government and social habits were discussed respectively by Prof. Bryan, Prof, Hays, Mrs. Carrie Hinton, Prof. Youmans and the writer. Mrs. Hinton's paper was especially instructive ana she was loudly applauded.
 We would like to give more extended notice of this very profit able meeting, but space forbids. We were proud of Nevada cour- tvs representation. About fifteen of our teachers were there, and they all feel repaid.
 Come, fellow.teachers, let LIS arouse ourselves and embrace ev- cry opportunity to improve and to . advance the interest of the pro. ! fession and the children. What a power for good could we wield if we would all unite our hearts, our minds and our wills in this work.
