A PRACTICAL PEA.
A Reno Boy Speaks to the other
Bows.

Boys.
RENO, September 90.
Ed. Gazette: "A word with you
boys. Did you ever stop to think
that when you lay down p cents on
the rondo gambling table, that with
that money you also put there An
acre Of land? Our State offers
good land at S, % cents an acre,
25 cents cash down, the balance
any time in p years. Now we find
that our boys are putting into the
game" all they have with them at
the time, which sums 60 all the
way from . cents to dollar and
two and three dollars. Each dollar
put down is equal to four acres Of
land One boy in Reno has lost at
rondo. in about one month, over
$50, or that is to say, he might now
be the possessor Of 80 acres of land,
but he is in fact the loser of that
property. This Instance will suf-
fee.
Land is always valuable, and
these lands we might buy so easily,
are not so miles from Reno, city
which sill authority agrees will be
as large as Omaha in less than 20
years These lands will then be
worth from $40 to 500 per acre.
On these lands, now so dry, will be
artesian wells, which will make this
added value.
Now boys, | am a boy myself,
and one who is awake to this ter
rible curse of the saloons. which, if
we wake not. will lose to us our
place among men, break our par
cuts hearts, and some day cause US
to curse ourselves. But we will !
never gain cen: by it, while by |
following NY course as suggested,
we shall III, after years come to be
the owners Of land worth thousands
Of dollars, and citizens of a State
which we have helped to form. Is
t not worth while 10 try?
Yours Truly.

A Pretendcr Unmasked

The earthquake pretentions and
prophecies of that meteorological

notice. The quake predicted by
Virgins September Goth, has not
arrived, and as cosmos sharp
he ought to 80 down. When called
upon by the press Of this Coast to
pass judgement upon the Virgins
prediction about week ago, this
journal assured the people Of the
United States that there would be
70 earthquake. The earthquake
predicted by the APPEAL last July
came, and the Virgins earthquake
was fzZle played to empty benches.
1t looks as if Virgins, if he Chad
any manliness and deccncy, would
send us the back salary he has
bilked the people out of as a Signal
Service officer. If there are any
stray earthquakes floating about,
this live journal catches them
about as soon as anybody. The

THE CROW TRIAL.
The Threats Of Hogan Admitted
as Evidence.


When the Court opened Wednes
day the question pending was the
admlssibility of the evidence rela
tive to the threats made by Hogan
against Crows life.
There was much speculation or
the street relative to the conclu,
sion reached by Edwards. Lawyers
held that the fact Of his attempting
to carry these threats into cxncu
| ton would render the evidence ad-
missiDle and It would be admitted
if it could be proved that Hogan
dropped his hand to his pistol car
ricd in his front pocket.
When the Court met Judge En-
wards ruled that witness could re-
late what took place between HIM
self and Hogan on the lst and
22sd of JAY.
Witness testified that be wa
working in the field when sudden
~ Hogan came up to the fence with
pistol in his hand and SAID You
little red loaded son OLA Iii
kill you witness dropped his
spade and gtetins into a gully, run
for his life, going home. He was
afraid to stay as he feared he
wouid be killed.
On TIE Day Of the killing, July
3rd. Welii0cton Stewart told him to
look out, as Hogan was goiug to
kill him.
Mr.. Woodruff Of Benton stables
also told him of threats made upon
his life by Hogan.
He had met Hogan twice during
the day, on the street and the lat
ter elared at him and later he was
tod that Hogan said he would
kill him before shutdown.
The witness was cross-examined
by Ellis. He again stated how
the killing occurred. He was cross
examined at great length by Col. |
Ellis but his story did not mater
tally differ from the one told b. |
him the day previous
John 1lrick.
1t matters little who the Demo
Drats may put up against John u
-ich. He has been the Deputy |
Sheriff for two years and more
,areful efficient officer has never
discharged his duties il this county
Under his careful management the
;ity licenses have been collected
Is the law directs. and some $1,000 :,
more a year Is paid into the treas
Try than under any previous Adj !
ninistration. 1t IS charged that a
roo many public officers do not
arm their salaries, which is a fact.
tut in this instance Mr.. Uirick has
aved the city and county much
more than his salary. His record
las been that of Il conscientious
onest man who has walked unfal-
erinsly along the line Of duty,
urnIng neither to the right nor

elligent taxpayer can ask for as

removing a MAN. nib.

There is man at the Ivy Street Hospital,
Atlanta, who has twelve ribs ON the right side
and eleven on the left. The twelfth rib was
cut from his right side this week. The man,
who has thus become little one-sided, is
named Carmack, and he is from Alabama.
Mr.. Carmack is young man, apparently
strong and healthy, but in reality quite weak
and ILL., For months he has been suffering
from empyema, brought on by severe cold.
AT first he paid no attention to the trouble,
but rs it began olgrow he sought the best
physicians in the locality in which he resided,
but could obtain no relief. He then began
trying every patent medicine that he could
hear of, but again obtained no relief A few
months ago he was advised to come to
Atlanta and have an operation performed.
He reached tho city Sunday and placed him
self under DIR. Nicholsons care. The doctor
mans relief was in removing rib and in
serting a tubo through the orifice made.
His patient was advised as to the dangerous
operation, but agreed TO its being performed
Yesterday morning DR.. Nicholson, aided by
other physicians at the hospital, undertook
Incorporation. The patient was placed unde
the influence of chloroform, and for two
hours the physicians worked over him before
completing the task. When the operation
was finished, however, and the man had re-
covered from the effect of the chloroform,
he appeared to be much better. His case is
deeply interesting to all tho physicians who
have been made acquainted with it. The
operation is a difficult one and is rarely
resorted to. The result Of the operation will
be watched closely by the profession.

THE LARGEST TELESCOPE.
Grinding the lsens Tor the Great Lick
Observatory.


Passengers out of Boston ON the Boston
and Albany Railroad may have noticed Just
across the Charles River, at the first bridge
out of the city and opposite Cottage Farm
Station, a handsome residence, and back Of
it low, round-topped observatory, and
outside, near it, long white model of q
telescope, and in the same yard two-story
brick building. The building is the factory
where the great Russian telescope was
made, as well as many others also famous,
md where work is now going on for the
Lick telescope, which will be the largest in
the world
Of the two discs of glass, each one yard
in diameter, for the Lick telescope, the flint
glass has been made long time, but the
crown glass, although ordered five years
ago, was only received by the Clarks in
September last. 1t was made after repeat
ed trials and failures, at an establishment
near Paris, the only one that could get out
such piece of work. Each glass cost $685.
900 in the rough, and they cannot be finish
ed before fall
At first machinery could do little rough
grinding, but for months the bare hand only
has been used in applying the polishing
substance, which is rough. The glasses
have now reached stage where the removal
of small portion of the surface in the
wrong place would ruin them. They are
frequently tested, set in circular iron
frame called cell. No instruments can
DO used for the test, but the long experience
of the Clarks has given them Judgment
which is unerring.
Very soon the tests will be made in the mod
ell of the telescope outside the building. This
model is of the size of the proposed Lick
telescope, and is fifty-seven feet long
These two lenses are set six inches apart in
their iron frame, which has openings to
allow of the glasses being properly cleaned
On each side. Lenses and frame together
weigh over seven hundred pounds.
While everything now appears to be per
feet, some slight defect in the glass that
has not yet appeared, or any accident, may
render useless all the labor of months
When completed the great telescope will be
placed in the observatory on Mt. Hamilton,
in Santa Clara county, Cal. Mr.. James
Lick left 800, 900 in his will for the pur-
pose of constructing the necessary buildings
and +" for telescope superior to and more
powerful than any yet made"
An astronomer has stated that this tele-
scope will bring the moon, 240,0 miles
distant, within, apparently, a hundred miles
of the beholder. 1t will cost 100000, and
will be covered by q steel dome seventy five
feet in diameter, weighing ninety-fye tons.
Besides the observatory are many other
buildings, containing all the valuable instru-
ments necessary for complete establish
nent to carry out Mr.. Licks intentions.
The citizens of Santa Clan county have built

THE "GoLD GuNNv-sAox MANS
The Skeleton of u Famous Miner
Found Ira u wyoming Cabin.

Found Ina ~ Wyoming Cabin.
At the head of deep gulch Mt the base of
high peak rising from the great water
shed of the Green, Snake and Wind rivers,
party of hunters, early this spring, were
gathered around and passing in and ont of
rotten, falling cabin. Awe and pity were
marked deeply upon their rugged, weather
beaten countenances.
In rude hunks, still clnging TO the rot
ting and falling walls, they had discovered
huddled, in shining CHASTITY heaps. the
bones of three human beings. Wondering
fragments of blankets still enveloped the
skeletons and gave them an air of uncanny
repose. In the long matted grass which
grew rank ON the floor of the hut were half
concealed rusting mining tools and midew-
ed cooking utensils, while scattered about
in every stage of "looped and Widowed
raggedness," were what once were articles
of wearing apparel. f-T
Suddenly some one stepped upon an
object concealed in the rank and matted
grass, and STOPPING and, picking ii up.
uttered IN exclamation. The object was n
thin broad rock, oyerlaid with green, damp
moss, through which could be traced some
written characters. Hastily the stone was
cleansed from its green and clinging cover.

New York men. Names are In" And
then an abrupt termination, The writer of
his own and his companions obituary was
prevented by some cause from adding any
thing further TO the mournful record. The
hunters dug deep grave in the floor of the
cabin which had witnessed the last agonies
of the entrapped men, and reverently re-
turned the long exposed remains to mother
earth. The party then set forth, guided by
the injunction, " Due south ten miles," to
search for the mine and the treasure buried
there. The search lasted n month without
result, and the party came in to the railroad,
laid in supply of provisions, and will
spend the summer in the search.
There is no doubt that the remains found
are those of " the man of the golden gunny
,ack /" and his two companions. This man
is famous in the wild traditions of the
mountains, and his story, or that portion of
it known TO be true, is as follows:
In September, 1869, there came into the
little station Of st. Mary, on the overland
stage route, and in the Sweetwater valley,
man tired, foot-sore and ragged, but who
bore upon his back large gunny sack full
of gold nuggets. He remained at the station
one night and took the eastbound stage.
The next spring he returned with small
though well-appointed pack train and two
companions The party went toward the
mountains of the great watershed from
which the man with the golden sack had
come in the preceding fall, and nothing was
ever heard of the party again.

POETRY.
The Two Re,ts.

Long years ago, so runs the ancient story,
Two bells were sent from Spain to that fal
cline,
New found, beyond the sea, that to Gods glory
And in His house together they might chime
And to this day one bell is safely swinging
Within Its shelt'ring tower, where, clear and
free,
II hauows each day with its mellow ringing
The other bell, the mate, was lost at sea-
And when In gentle chimes the bell is pealIng,
The people listen; for they say they hear
An echo from the distant ocean stealing
1t Is the lost ones answer faint yet clear.
All, love, like those two bells we sailed together,
And you have reached your holy work and rest,
But stormy was the way and rude the weather,
And was lost beneath the waves white crest
Over my buried heart the waters glisten,
Across my breast the sea-weeds wave and
twine,
Dead is my souls best life, save when listen,
And hear your spirit calling unto mine.
Then the old longing wakes; start, l SILVER,
| try to break the bonds which hold me dumb;
turn, strive with many throe and CULVER
feebly answer, but / can not come.
