ceremony was something more than mere
adaptation of hackneyed forms; it was the
discharging of an obligation which not only
justified but demanded fatherly familiarity
and painstaking research. Upon this, as
upon many a similar occasion, his incisive
genius probed the cold conventionalities, and
at the end of the ceremony made the bride
and groom intimately acquainted with the
character of each other.
Addressing bis attention to the groom, the
parson uncerenloniously began:

Spelling Their Way Up.

We see that by the new civil service rules

cised i'll photography. This reform can GER
tainly be justified by plausible argument
Every 5000 clerk should, of course, be re-
quired to be able to spell words of at least one
syllable; cat, for example. Whoever wants
to get up a grade should also be able to handle
one syllable additional. Thus the orthographi-
cal standard for the different classes would be
something like this.

Neyuda,s Climate VS.. divorce
Proceedings.


Proceedings.
The Genoa Courier has the fol-
lowing:
We have the climate, and after
little we shall have the crowd, and
don't you forget it! A few weeks
ago a young married lady in Nebras-
ka heard ofour wonderfulclimate and
concluded to test its qualities. With
her infant child she came direct to
Carson Valley, we'll knowing that
we had more climate, to the square
foot than any other portion OF the
State. Her husband, who name is
Christian Boyer, Was not to SIT
quietly and NOPE in such an emer-
gency, for he loved his wife better
than his life, and his child better
than either. He Immediately start
ed in pursuit of his truant wife,
and after many days, found her In
the small town oil Gardnerville,
when he Immediately commenced
to negotiate for her return to Ne
braska. Meeting with no success,
he seized the child and left for Car
son, supposing that his wife would
follow rather than be separated
from her child. But instead OF fol-
lowing her husband, she started a
divorce suit, which brought her
husband back to Gardncrville,
where a reconciliation was attempt
ed, and the parties finally came to
Genoa to have papers drawn up
and make an amicable settlement
= concerning the custody oil their child,
aid their property rights. Mrs.
Beyer was determined to live in
Carson Valley, and about the time
the papers were completed, she
succeeded in convincing her better
half that our beautiful valley was
far superior to their former home,
in climate, soil. and everything that
tends to make life enjoyable; and
we understand that MIR. Boyer con-
cluded to sell his property in Ne
braska and settle in Carson Valley.
Mrs. Boyer at once dismissed her
action-for all she wanted was to
live here-and she gained her point.
So you see, our climate Will tell
and people sniff it from afar.

He scarcely pronounces one word louder

to be at n loss for words. repeats his
words two or three times over, drawls
along for ten minutes, and then hurries
