virginia Mincemest.

The wife Of Gov. Fitzhugh Lee, Of Vir-
ginia, is famous housekeeper. and this is
how she says she makes the mincemeat for
her Thanksgiving pies: Two pounds beef,
two OF currants, two of raisins, one pound of
citron, two Of beef suet, one and a half of
candied lemon peel, four pounds apples, two
Of sul,ans raisins. two Of sugar, two nutmegs
grated, quarter ounce cloves, half ounce
cinnamon, quarter ounce mace, one quart
sherry or good home made currant wine, one
quart good brandy, one teaspoonful salt, the
juice and rind of two lemons and two oranges.
Simmer the meat gently till tender, and when
perfectly cold chop it fine. Stone the raisns,
shred the citron, pare, core, and chop the
apples, chop the suet fine. Mix the dry in
gradients together, then add the juice and
rinds Of the oranges and lemons. Pack in a
stone jar, pour on the wine ard brandy,
cover close, and keep cool. This mince-
meat will keep all winiet. When wanted for
pies thin with cider Or wine. The rule is an
old one, and is said to have come from the
Gusts family in the beginning. According
to Virginia tradition the widow Gusts, who
became Mrs. Washington, made famous
nince pies.

Fooled En-.

After the storm had subsidized this week
and the ground had frozen quite hard some
gigantic foot tracks were discovered near the
Dayton bridge, and it was thought by some
who examined them tina, during the dark
nights some monster giant had been prowling
around the banks of the river. The tracks
resembled very much the prehistoric foot.
prints at the State Prison. The matter
caused such excitement that the tracks were
traced, and found TO stop at Henry Singer
lands place, at the foot OF Main street.
After much inquiry it was at last ascertained
that Bill Aldrch had bought new pair Of
boois-No. Ia-and that the tracks had been
made before the wire-edge had been worn of
of them. Bill is not prehistoric man either.

his tail and letting him buck them off. The
fun had been under Roadway for some time
when the Rev. I. T.. Sisson demonstrated
with the wild "buckaroos" about the brutal
sport. His circumstances did no good, and
the gentleman then took the names Of the
boys and had them arrested on a charge Of
cruelty to animals. The case was duly tried
in the Supreme Court of Pizen Switch and a
verdict of .not guilty" was rendered before
the arguments in the case were finished.
The boys were a little put out about having
their fun stopped and Mr.. Ssson was disap-
pointed at not having them convicted, and
it seems to be the impression all around that

tudes snow fell in amounts from one-half an
inch to nine inches. which latter amount is
reported from Tuscarora. These coPious
rains have started vegetation in many local.
ties, giving the stockmen great relief. Al
Ferguson S ranch, in Churchill county, alfalfa
is reported in excellent condition.
The temperature has been nearly normal
throughout the State, the average from
twenty mine stations being 1876, which is but
eight-ten,hs of degree below the normal.
The highest temperature reported was sos,
At Eldorado Canyon, on the eSd, and the
lowest reported was 40, at Elko, on the 4th,
which gives 7o.S degrees as the extreme
range for the State. The cold periods dur
ing the month occurred on the 9Th and 18th
a, nearly all stations. while the warm period
varied with the location of the station.
The weather during the first seventeen

No Cattle for the Hay.

So far but few cattle have been driven into
Mason Valley to feed for the winter. The
beef market is dull, and 1t does not pay to
feed cattle for beef at the prices now quoted.
There is lots Of hay in the valley for sale, at
reasonable figures, but it begins to look as If
considerable of it would be carried over. I'm
less the hay is disposed of this Winter the
ranchers will probably put in more grain
next season.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO SILVER.
Senator Wilson OF Iowa Gets In Lin e

A correspondent of the Chicago Herald
has learned that Senator Wilson is for free
coinoge and relates the substance Of an in
teryiew. The Senator's reasons may not be
statistical but they are convincing. as the dis
position of all people to save the shining
metal when making stocking sinking fund
is we'll known. The bright dollar will be
put away when the greasy note might be
spent, and when several millions Of farmers
and their wives begin boarding silver it will
take large. product than the world has at
present to supply the demand. The cores
pondent says:
Senator Wilson of Iowa believes in the
coinage OF the silver dollar. and gives
novel reason for his belief. al am in favor, 4"
he says, "of boarding among the people, and
find that where the silver dollar is circulat-
ed there the people will save their money.
The fact was FIRST brought to my attention in
my own town. Before the issue Of the silver
certificates and and when 81 and s. bills
were scarce, the banks sent to Chicago for
silver dollars with which to make change.
II was then noticed that ten silver dollars
were given out in change, only two Of them
came back to the bank, whereas under the
old system Of giving bills in change, all the
notes would come back in the course Of the
day, natural inference was that the farmers
carried home with them some Of the dollars
and put them away in the old stocking.
Thinking that perhaps the silver dollars
found some other outlet than the banks, /
went to the express offices and asked if the
money was sent back TO Chicago by express.

inquiries ct the banks in other towns in the
State than my own. There found that the
silver dollars were disappearing into the
homes Of the people,"

Of the silver money!"

have no doubt that the circulation OF the sill
yer dollar would in a measure tend to pre-
vent panic, for as soon as money became a
little tight the farmers would bring out the
reserve store. 1t was this system Of laying
by the dollars as practiced by the French
that enabled France to meet the indemnity
growing out Of The Franco Prussian war"

Churchill County Prospects.

The following is the weather report for the
month of November from Ferguson's ranch
in Churchill county: November has been
generally warm and pleasant. A few nights
have been cold, but the average for the
month has been milder than usual. The
welcome water is again running in the Car
son river. But few winds have occurred, and
none of them heavy. Farmers are taking
advantage OF the good weather to prepare
their land for the Spring crops. Many beei
cattle are feeding in the valley. The ex-
lent quality OF the alfalfa is bringing cattle
men from various sections.

Compound Interest on a Quarter.

About thirty-fiv year ago little boy was
given a quarter Of dollar for spending
money. AS he walked down the street hap
py, he met with an older boy and showed
him the money, saying as he did SO, "See
what my good papa gave me to spend" The
older boy knocked it out Of his hand,
snatched it up and ran away with it. The
little boy was almost heartbroken, but when
he went home crying and told it his mother
gave him another quarter. This notified
him, but he never forgave the older boy. The
war came on and the older boy was given a
commission in the army, while the little one
who was too small to enlist, remained at
home.
After the war the younger boy became a
clerk in the War Department. Within the
last fifteen years the older boy, who had be-
come a lawyer and an orator, announced
himself as candidate for the United States
Senate, and he had a large following. 1t
looked as though he might be elected. But
one morning the newspapers in many por-
tons Of the country and especially those of
his own State published statement to the
effect that the candidate had been dismissed
from the army for cowardice and other
questionable conduct. The lawyer denied
the charge, and extracts from the record OF
the War Department were published, show.
ing that the charge was true. He was not
elected. After his defeat was accomplished,
he received letter pestmarked Washington,
