fOhows:a LIST Selection by the Farr
Brass Band, End Prayer by Rev.tJ. n.
James, Srd the address, by Lawyer
VIM r. Norris. After stating. the oh
ject Of the reception, Lawyer Morris
said that although he was not going,to
speak for more than about two minutes
he deemed it wise to take text; that
It could be found in the book of good
works, the first chapter Of shelpfulness
and the fifth verse, and that the text
was ''Mrs. Sarah Farr.'' He said that
for more than three years past Mrs.
Farr had given her time and her
money in helping the Colored people Of
theecity, thar she had, been to them a
ministeringf angel and that she had
taken the deepest interest in their well
fare; that no Colored person had been
turned away by her with empty hands;
that, she had always assisted and en-
couraged those who endeavor to make
something of themselves, and that her
doors had always been thrown open to
Them That she had encoura ged and
assisted the young men and organized
for them the Farr band, which had
just been discoursing sweet strains of
music for those assembled; that she
had done noble and telling work
for the Colored churches and Sabbath
schools, and that they had always found
in Ihersa staunch friend. That some had
been inclined to 'criticise her because
she had done so much for the Colored
people and had taken such an interest
in them, but the criticism was unfair,
because she had shown. herself the
friend of down trodden humanity: be-
cause she had started a Sabbath school
for the newsboys and helped them in
many. ways, and had helped the flower
girls and was the first one to start a
prayer meeting in the lookup for priso-
ners. That he on behalf of the Colored
people and as their spokesman wanted
to express his and their deep-felt graft
tude and thankfulness to her for the
great and good work she had done for
his people because she had indeed been
a ministering angel unto them.
After the remarks by Mr.. Morris, the
programme was as follows: Duet,
Mesdames Marshall and Bently; reci-
tation,, Miss Lulu Mayo; solo, Miss
Fanny Burke; violin solo, Mr.. C. j.

silver q Mine.

A correspondent of the New York
Mining Record makes inquiry about
the Silver State Con. Mining Com
pany. There is nothing wrong at this
end, only that the mine has not been
worked for several years past, and
consequently has not produced any
thing. There are rich streaks Of ore
on the surface that for some reason,
have never been followed. Tell the
Silver State folks to put up some work
ing capital, brother Jordan. If they
will do that and also put a competent
man in charge Of their mine, there is
no reason why they should not have q
paying property.

An Aecldeut.

Last Wednesday Ex-Governor Bias
dell and Capt. A. d. Rock, while on
their way by private conveyance from
Hamilton to Eureka. met with rather
a serious accident. When about three
miles this side OF Hamilton, from a
defective buckle, one of the lines
slipped out of the hands OF Captain
Rock, who was driving. The latter
pulled lightly on the line he held and
the horses turned and ran off the grade,
describing a circle and coming back
into the road again. In the meantime
ext Governor Blasdell jumped out and
Captain Rock was thrown out, receiv-
ing scratches about his face and
breaking one OF his wrist bones. Ex-
Governor Blasdell received some
rather severe bruises and YVES badly
shaken up. Neither OF the gentle
men are young, and considering the
circumstances they came out lucky.
They, however, had to walk three
miles to the Six-mile House, where
Mr.. Blasdell got a shingle and clev-
erly set Captain Rocks broken limb.
The buggy was slightly damaged and
had to be left in the road until sent
for. Both gentlemen are doing as
we'll as circumstances will permit.

w. j. Chamberlin, of the Denver
Smelling Works, paid the Austin
Reveille office a friendly visit Wednes-
day. He reports the mining camps
of Nevada, those that he has SEEM
much duller than those in Colorado,
but he believes that a brighter day is
close at hand, and Nevada will again
be a prosperous State. He, like many
others, is of the opinion that capital is
rather loath to invest when taxes are
80 high, and if taxes are reduced, and
capital is given any encouragement at
all, that it will not be long before the
different mining camps of Nevada will
once again move to the front.
