Nevada Land.

According to memoranda in the
State Susveyor-General' Office there
wereGO6 applications for land filed in
1885, aggregating 1864 acres, dis
tributed as follows: Churchill, 800;
Douglas, 1850; Elko, 1887; Esmer-
aida, 1881; Eureka, 2,507; Humboldt,
1882; Lander, 2,718; Lincoln, 1860;
Lyon, 1880; Nye, 6,92O; Ormsby, BOB;
Washoe, 23,822; White Pine, 1919.
The total cash payments on the above
applications aggregated s65,212.
From the above it will be seen that
Elko county leads all others by q
large majority in the purchase Of
State lands. This 10 an evidence of
thu continued prosperity of the lead
ing county in Nevada. The time is
coming, and not far distant either,
when Elko county will be an empire
in itself, and very desirable location
for u permanent residence.

County Official Paper.
BARTINE's VOTE.

Republican pnpers throughout the
State excuse Bartine's vote for
Speaker Reed on the ground that it
was his duty to stay with the party
without regard to the welfare and
the wishes Of his constituents. We
always supposed, though we may
have been in error, that it was the
duty OF a servant Of the people to rep-
resent his constituents, to labor for
the interests of the people of the dis
trict which elected him and to cast
his vote ON all questions in accordance
with the feelings of majority Of the
people he claims to represent, espe-
cially when their preferences are we'll
known. Had there been an oppor-
tunity on the 18th day of November,
1880, to get an expression Of the peo-
pie of Nevada on the question, "Shall
Mr. Bartine cast his vote for Reed for
Speaker" there would not have been
one vote in a hundred in the affirma-
tive. But We are told that it was his
"'luty" to vote for Reed.
IF, under the present rule, it is the
duty of Representative in Congress
tn cast his vote in direct opposition to
the known wishes of 80 per cont. of
his constituents, then it is high time
that the rule be changed, and Con-
gressmen instructed that henceforth
it is their duty to represent the peo-
pie rather than the party, on the
theory that the welfare Of the people
is paramount to that OF party.

Jurors Charged with Murder.

WYNNwoOD, I. T. Dec. 1.-When
the roll. call on Tuesday morning was
answered in the court room at Tis-
homing, two petit jurors, Reeves
Brown and Willie FACTOR, were arrest
ed, charged with the murder of VIM
Albertson, a grand juror The scene
of the murder is about 200 yards from
the Capitol building, near the high
way. 1t is evident that Albertson
made desperate fight for life. When
the body was found hogs had eaten
the face entirely off. His body
was literally hacked to pieces with
knives, while his right hand showed
three gashes on the palm, where he
had clutched the knife to save him
self. One cash near the spine showed
that while he was struggling with
one assailant the other stabbed him
from behind. When arrested the Pc
tit jurors clothing was very bloody,
and their hats also. They stoically
deny the charge. 1t is not creating
rs much excitement as would be sup
posed, and with the hardness OF In
dian courts and slack methods of pro-
ced ure, time alone can tell what will
be done.

A number of them passed through

TEACHERS HINTS ON READING.

Have the reading lesson studied in advanci
by the pupil.
Encourage home reading. The good reader
is the reader who reads.
Let the pupils read silently and then aloud
first gain the thought then express it.
The teacher should read aloud often, both
as a model and to make clear the sense.
Select the best newspaper from the literary
and moral standpoint for school reading.
Require the substance of paragraphs and
of whole pieces to be given in the pupils own
words
The meaning Of new words should be de-
velopad, sometimes by showing their use in
sentences and sometimes by definition.
A vocal drill should precede the reading.
This should be the key to the proper expires
sion of the sentiment III pitch, force, time
and quality of voice.
The proper sentiment is to be created by
causing in the pupil = lively picturing of per-
sons and places, and of speech and action.
Feeling is caused by knowing.
The pronunciation of difficult words should
be taught by directing the children's atten-
ton to the syllables and letters as signs OF
sounds, and also by the example of the
teacher.
The class should have a thorough drill on
few chosen pieces to create a standard Of e1
preston This drill should be in concert tc
avoid difidence; and individually, in order
to secure independence, and to give an oppor.
tunity for criticism.
This stage of reading requires much prac.
tice in reading aloud. This should be indi.
vidual at first, but afterward concert reading
is profitable, to secure correct time and pitch.
The slow are thus quickened, and the swift
retarded; high voices are lowered, and low
voices are raised.
Emphasis and infection should be taught
mainly from within, that is, by leading the
pupil TO a clear comprehension of the thought,
but at times example is best : few rules, al
for instance, those relating to new or con
trasted ideas, should be taught inductively.
Drill on passages in the lesson and on the ele,
mentary sounds, 10 establish correct habit.
of infection and emphasis, should not bs
omitted. Journal of Education.
