There are In almost every commun-
ity class of persons who, while lost to
all sense of honor and propriety them
selves, are at the same time deient
alike ofpublic opinion, and the require
ments of law. We refer to those who
presist in following occupations which
are not only considered dangerous to
the peace and welfare of society, but
have been legislated against with view
to their total suppression. Yet though
continually warned, and having heavy
penalties of the law visited upon them,
these persons presist in a cource of
wrong doing obnoxious to the public
as we'll as detrimental to themselves
and the good of others. As the law ia
said to be made for the punishment of
the lawless, and as thesejentry. andtheir
dupes may well be claimed among its
intended benefcariesf we Suggest
that the remedy be applied in all its
force. We have been prlding ourselv-

Nithou; perhaps actually stating the

We may yet say tia deep in the hearts
Of meu and women who have passed
their first youth is the firm conviction
that whatever was gnSd enough for
them and their fathers Is good enough

that by ths opposition to the move
ment for the higher education of
women much good will be shut out,
that one is much dIsmayed by the
an'agonism displayed toward it. Bat
To those who believe in the truth OF

Nay, with cool assumption of the

though they may give mp every

education, have already accomplished

feeblement will be that the children

Parental stumbling sI.cx.

One OF the saddest, most dishearten-
ing experiences which pastor has to
undergo is the objection of parents to
the baptism aud confirmation OF their
children, The extent to WHICH the
CaiYinistic theory of sensible conver-
sions is di.fased Throughout our conf
munities and even among our own
membership il surprising. 1t seems
to have taken hold of nearly every
form Of Aine.ican Christianity, and to
have impressed itself upon all the re-
ligious traditions of the country. The
clergy have constantly to contend with
this delusion. aud often their most
promising work is brought to naught
by It's baleful influence. Parents are
found ON every hand who stand guard,
as it were, over their children, to pre-
vent them from taking a single step
which commits them to the Christian
life, until they are supposed to be
"eonvested," or have grown out OF all
concern about their souls. Then they
are taught TO be .old enough to choose
for themselves" aad they frequently
do choose for themselves the world,
the flesh and the devil. We know
parents who profess and call them
selves Christians, who have year after
year refused consent to the baptism
and confirmation Of their children.
The pastor is presumably lifted to de-
eide for the parent ia spiritual things,
aud for this very reason he is sent by
the church and supported by the parish.

children-not certainly an unmixed
evil--but that these children will, in
the natural course Of events, bring
forth descendants unable to survive in
the battle of life And We learn from
woman, herself of considerable abil-
ily, that this evil result and more has
already ensned: short as is the time
during which this higher education
has heet in operation. Mrs. Lynn
Luton asserts that "the number Of
women vino can not nurse their own
children is yearly increasing in the
educated aud we'll conditioned classes. !"
One may remark ON this, in passing,
tlIlt the above assertion is an interest
ing example Of non sequitur There
ars many features Of social lie also
eeincldent With this higher education,
but they are not 10y any means neces-
cessarily due to this education.
Among other disabilities that are
proplesied Tor those women who are
rash enough to wish 10 cultivate their
brains, one finds that they must dis.
card petticoats, which hamper their
movements, and so hinder them from
competing eilectually with men in
men occupations. Whatever says
! Or. R.chafdspn. " therefore. there is
Of elesance IN the present form Of
female attire, that must be sacrificed

aud then he adds this highly instruct

original, view Of the importance of
womans dress, aud which may possi-
by cause some women 10 reconsider
their determination: "Fhe dress she

SIN Uf he destiny which holds her

which All ifds her the opportunity for

A SKETCH.

Lander County is more centrally
situated than any her couuty In the
State. Its southern boundary lac
lies few minutes north os the par
aiIel of the thirty ninth degree Of
north latitude, and It's northern
boundary line rests ON tho parallel OF
the forty-hrst degree. 1t is divided
Into two nearly equal parts by ths
meridian of the one hundred and
sesenteenth degree Of longitude, west
from Greenwich.
1t is bounded on the north by the
counties Of Humboldt and 'Elko; on
the east by the County OF Eureka; ON
the south by Nye County; GA the west
by the counties of Churchill ana Hum
boldt. II is one hundred and twenty
five miles in length; its average width
is about forty i've miles. The area in
clud.d within its boundary lines is
nearly five thousand five hundred
square miles--an area much larger
than that of the State of Connect

ToPoG RAruY.

The surface Of Lander is that Of an
inclined plane, sloping from south to
north. In the northern end, near the
Humboldt River, it has an elevation
OF four thousand FIVE hundred feet
above tho sea level, while it's southern
boundary reaches an elevation Of tive
thousand two hundred feet.
On this plane nre imposed several
ranges of high mountains, trending
north and south, the altitude Of which
IN several places, is ten thousand feet
above the sea.
Many OF these mountains present
themselves as plateaus which furnish
excellent pasturage for sheep, horses
and cattle, the snow remaining on
them until June, furnishing moisture
for grass.
The principal ranges of mountains
IN the county are The Toiyabe aud the
ehoshone, running nearly parallel,
and nearly north and south through
the southern half of the county. The
Fish Creek Range and the Battle
Mountain Range in the north western,
and the Lewis Range in the north
eastern part of the county, are dor
tached portions of the roiyabs and the
Shoshone ranges, the former two from
the Shoshone, the latter from tho
Toiyabe. The highest peak in these
ranges is situated IN the southern part
OF the county and attains an elevation
ct over eleven thousand feet; il bears
The historic name of Bunker Hit
The largest streams in the county
are the Humboldt River aud the
Reese River; the former flowing
