Secondhand Opinions.

: In reply to criticisms by the Silver
State on an item which appeared in
these columns few days since, and
which that paper designates as "sec-
oud-hand opinions" We have only to
say that if quotation from an ad-
dress delivered at the Methodist Con-
ference a. Carson last September,
which was published in pamphlet
form, and which was denounced, we
believe, by every paper in the State
except the Free Lance. is second
hand opinion, we pleal guilty. Tho
quotation in question is in reference
to tho people OF Nevada who are de-
nounced as follows:
"Ranegades from crime, mean, das-
tardly and villainous, from all parts
of the world, playing the role of i'd
dler or preacher, b=ggar or million
aire, painted prostitute or sanity
housewife, protesting great sanctity
to-day, to- morrow vulgar, idfidel, any
thing to escape detection and elude
the grip Of the law, the popularity
and aristooracy of the liquor drinking
habits of fully nine-tenths of the
people, mon, women AMI children {,
from the baby in the cradle to high
State officials, soaked, burnt out and
burnt down, x X y the lax and even
criminal views professed and practiced
relative to tho marriage relation y n y
have filed the country with their
CHASTITY deeds and loft their stenchful
memorials in nearly every COM
munity."
Such sentiments in reference to the
eitizens of Nevada should be de-
Nounced, even though they fell from
the lips Of q man "far above the aver
age as preacher" or the most tai
ented orator in the land, and the
INDEPENDENT is not alone in it's de-
nunciation Of the sentiments above

Indian Tea.

Chinese tea is fighting for it's life
In the worlds markets against the
tea Of India. The Indian product is
clean, pure, scientifically packed and
cheap. The Chinese is dirty, adultec-
ated, erudely put up by thousands
Of small and ignorant dealers, and
made costly by taxes and repeated
handling. Indian tea has already
conquered the English market, tho
greatest in the world, but Americans
still stick to tho Chinese article.
Thore is where we have the whip
hand OF our Celestial friends in tho
matter Of trade. They may threaten
retaliation for exclusion as much as
they please, but discriminating duty
On Chinese tea would bring them to
their knees. This is little game
that All Sin does not understand

What Johnny Knows About Cats, PISs
DonkoyS and CoWO.
THE CAT.

THE CAT.
A cat is domestic animal what likes
to be near fire. When cats get vexed,
they DIST their backs like the hump of a
camel, and their tails swell out like
foxes, and they scratch with the
splinters in their feet. Cats are differ
ont to dogs. A dog wags its tail when
it is pleased, cat wags it whom it is
angry, that is the reason they don't get
on. They hunt mice, birds, beetles and
other game. They do not sleep at night
like any other sensible animal, but
prowl about on backyard walls, making
horrid noises, and splitting and scratch
ing one another. 1t was one of these
animals what led pa to throw a whole
chamber-service away, one still-clear
dark moonlight night. There was
stiffness all around after that Cats are
very fond Of grannies, aunties and such
like. They cultivate whiskers, but not
mustaches- A cat is the only animal
what has nine lives.
THE PIG.
The pig is a animal what speaks with
grunt, and is fond of wallowing in the
mire. Pigs do not wear hair on their
backs like other animals, hut bristles.
Black buildings and other things what
we see on the stalls on q market day
come from the pig. So does sausage but
not German sausage. When they talk
about pigs in the Bible they call them
swine. Bible pigs were fed on husks,
but English pigs are fed on porridge and
other refuse. "A pig when it is dead Is
called bacon, and is then cured. Fried
bacon is common article of food for
breakfast, the fat what comes from fried
bacon is good for children. F..
THE DONKEY.
A donkey is animal what has four
legs. 1t has also longer ears than tho
horse or any other animal. The tail of
a donkey is generally all meat, hair
does not grow thereon. They are very
stupid animals, that is the reason our
scloolmasters call US little donkeys
sometimes. A donkey is very often like
woman-when it says it won't go, il
won't, and they are very hard done to
Some good, kind people are called dom
keys, and that is how Jerusalem dom
keys were made, but the greatest guam
tity come from seaside places where
they earn their own living like any
, other man. Donkeys feed ON commons,
and other places where there is no food,
and tn US they are termed common don
keys. A donkey what is not donkey,
Is called q ass. @...-... .t
THE COW.
cow is animal what has four logs.
Cows are made of different colors, black,
white, yellow and crushed strawberry
color, The milk what we get in morn
ing comes from the cow. The milk Ia
fixed in between the two last legs of a
cow. ] have noticed that black COW
gives white milk. We got roast beef
from this animal. The boots we wear
are made from the skin Of the cow. A
male-cow is called bull, but bulls do
not give milk as this is law Of nature.

from this animal. like tripe. The

The Man Found Drowned in Bridge
 port Iarbor Was Not Patrick Cree
 don of This City.
 A piece of paper upon which was writ ten, Patrick Creedon, No. 9West Por- ter street, Waterbury," was found in the pocket of the unknown man. whose par tially decomposed body was discovered floating in the Bridgeport harbor near the Naugatuck wharf. Saturday. A card bearing the name and address of George C. Arms of Bristol, was also among the dead mans effects and also a card bearing New Haven mans name and address. Yesterday a Bridgeport reporter visited Bristol and found MT. Arms alive and well. \ trip to New Haven likewise proved fruitless. The Park City authorities have buried the body on account of it's decomposed con- dition.
 This morning a DEMOCRAT reporter found Mir Creedon at work in Neville S blacksmith shop on Jefferson street. He was greatly surprised to find his name connected with the dead man. but gave an explanation that may lead to the identification of the body. About two months ago MT Creedon worked forDaniel Hetferon, Bristol blacksmith, for a short time. When leaving he left his name and address. He also left his ad. dress with New Haven blacksmith whose name he has forgotten. The body found in the water at Bridgeport may be that of a travelling blacksmith who picked up MT Creedon's address either in Bristol or New Haven

POLICE COMMISSIONERS MEET.

Officers Not Allowed to Receive the
 Reward Offered by Mrs Elton.
 The principal business before the po- lice board at the adjourned meeting last night was discussion of the advisabil- ity of allowing Sergeant Bannon and Officers Michael Sullivan and Moore to receive the reward offered by Mrs J. r. Elton. for the capture of midnight prowler in her house a few weeks ago. Of the four members of the board Com missioner Reilly alone favored allowing the officers to receive the reward. The other commissioners thought it would be establishing bad precedent and a motion to allow the men to receive the reward was lost by a vote of three to one.
 It was voted to instruct Architect Hill to personally attend to the erection of the new station house. According to the terms of the contracts the work should be completed before September ,, but from present indications it will SC long beyond that time.
 Commissioners Goodrich and Reilly the committee upon revision of police rules, reported that they had prepared a revised draft which had met with the approval of the city attorney. It was voted to defer a discussion of the rules until the next meeting which will held Tuesday evening.

Cost of Private Cars.

''Many extravagant stories are ircircula- tion," said George w. Allen to St. Louis Globe-Democrat reporter, ''as to the cost of private cars, such as are used by railroad magnates, opera singers, imported actors and millionaires, and have often heard 1t stated that an average Pullman palace car is worth $6O, 900. Stories are printed about cars cost ing all the way from &10o, 900 to s2OO, 900. The fact of the matter Is that palace car costs about $12, 900 complete. The makeup of all cars, regular or special, is about the same. Additional cost Is brought about by the in- ternal decoration, and that must necessari- ly be limited. doubt if there was ever q car constructed Chat cost more than $35, 900. To exceed that figure would require deco ration exclusively in jewels and precious metals.n

An Attribute That Is Seldom Found in Man
 Without . Flaw.
 It was not long ago, says a writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch, that heard of gal lant soldier, who undoubtedly made splendid name for himself by acts of great bravery in the late war, and who yet was nearly scared to death by tho irruption of a harmless, necessary cat from it's hiding place under the soldiers bed. He told the story himself, and confessed most candidly that he was frightened by the feline in- truder.
 A clergyman who had pluck enough to swim across a dangerous river when he was Q youth, and since then has shown his brave spirit by ministering to the poor parishion- CTS during the cholera epidemic of 1S49, I think, in London, and in numberless other great ways, is periodically made a perfect coward whenever the not very formidable wasp or yellow jacket flies anywhere near him. This person is remarkably fond of fishing for trout with the artistic fly, and have known him to put up his rod and desert pool where the fish were rising on all sides, just greedy for surface food and ask ing to be caught, because a wasp or two persisted in lowering over his creel.
 Allegheny County boasts a brave little woman, possessed of culture, gentleness and all the sweetest of womanly traits, who is eminently unlike the majority of her sex in that she can break glass balls with rife at ten yards and has been known to make things very lively for burglars with q re- volver, who yet has the customary femi- nine dread of the smallest mouse and who will faint at the sight of a pin scratch. One of the most unpleasant scares a friend of mine has ever experienced oc- cured recently during q railroad journey by night. l will let her tell 1t in her own words.
 "Just before fell asleep while l was on | the brink of dreamland, and when l was still dimly conscious that my husband was snorin g melodiously, saw the curtains of our berth, or rather felt them, move.

The hand | unbuttoned all the clasps of the curtains, and then I saw it stretch out toward the | netting where some of my husbands 8 | clothes were. The whole thing struck me as rather humorous, and proceeding in that view reached for one of my shoes under the bed, but by chance took hold of one of my husbands. gripped the shoe tightly, and, sitting up, dealt as savage blow as could at the arm in sight. The blow didn't fall quite true, but an exclamation of pain and hurried scuffling of feet down the aisle told me that the owner of the arm didn't want any more boot.

OUR NEGRO SOLDIERS.
A Flattering Tribute to Their Courage
 and Wonderful Cheerfulness.

From an article on the Buffalo Soldiers in the Century, written and pictured by Fred erick Remington, we quote the following: "Up the ascent of the mountain we toied, now winding among trees and brush, scrambling up precipitous slopes, picking away across field of shattered rock, or steadying our horses over the smooth sur face of some bowlder, till 1t seemed to my uninitiated mind that cavalry was not equal to the emergencies of such country. In the light of subsequent experiences, how ever, feel confident that any cavalry off cer who has ever chased Apaches would not hesitate moment to lead q command up the Bunker hill monument. The slopes of the Sierra Bonltas are very steep, and as the air became more raritied as we toiled upward l found that 1 was panting for breath. My horse-a veteran mountaineer -grunted in his efforts and drew his breath in long and labored blowing; consequent ly felt as though l was not doing any thing unusual in pulling and blowing my self On the trail ahead saw the lieuten- ant throw himself on the ground. l fol lowed his example, for 1 was nearly done for never had felt a rock that was as soft as the one l sat on. It was literally downy. The old troop-horse heaved great sigh, and dropping his head went fast asleep, as every good soldier should do when he finds the opportunity. The negro troopers sat about, their black skins shining with precipitation, and took no interest in the matter in hand. They occupied such time | in joking and in merriment as seemed fitted for growing. They may be tired and they may be hungry, but they do not see fit to augment their misery by finding fault with every body and every thing. In this partic- ular they are charming men with whom to serve. Officers have often confessed to me | that when they are on long and monot- onous field service and are troubled with @ depression of spirits, they have only to go | about the camp-fi fires of the negro soldier in order to be amused and cheered by the clev- CT absurdities of the men. Personal rela- | tions can be much closer between white offi- | cers and colored soldiers than in the white | regiments without breaking the barriers | which are necessary to army discipline. | The men look up to good officer, rely on him | In trouble, and even seek hirn for advice in
 their small personal affairs. In bar
 racks no soldier is allowed by his fellows to
 'cuss out Q just and respected superior. As
 to their bravery, 1 am often asked: 'Wil1

 They have fought many, many times. The old sergeant sitting near me, as calm ot | features as bronze statue, once deliber-

SECOND REGIMENT RSION

Completed By the
 Two Local Companies.
 At the monthly meeting of Co G last evening the plan of the trip to Provi dence was favorably discussed and cir culars respecting the trip were given to each member of the company. The two local companies will leave here probably on the COS train June 13 and will join the regiment at New Haven. The steamer Elm City will leave the New Haven dock at 10 o'clock at night and the regiment will breakfast in Provi- dence. Sight seeing will consume the time between breakfast hour and II o'clock, when the soldiers will embark for one of the seashore resorts and have dinner. On the return trip stop will be made at Newport and the regiment will land in New Haven two nights after its departure and give out of town com panies time to return home. The assess ment per man is S5 50 for the round trip. On the boat, however, five staterooms will be rented to each company at SJ each. The officers will occupy the ladies cabin. It is very likely that the regiment will take over 600 men on the trip.
