johnson Sides After Bill Nye-
General Riverside Society

hope that the Editor will hav
70 patience with Truckee, 1 am slow
I. but sure to come.
There is mad Indian here nov
and there is almost a declaration
of war by one Of the Muckemuck
OF the Piute tribe. 1t is johnson
Sides who has found out that Bill
Nye interviewed him, and has
: printed the interview in a Chicago
and California paper.
When Johnson gets that paper,
and reads the interview, he will
decide whether he will lift Bill
| Nye's back hair or not. Johnson
| says "bad white man" from way
back east. "He lie bad as Washoe
Injun. Washoe heap savee lie.
Bill Nye he heap savee lie too. !"
;, Our town is dull Of the dullest,
some move out, and some move
| in, and so it goes.
The Truckee river has been on
a high old bender, for some time,
and on falling began to give up
the dead men. One poor fellow
without a mark, of identity
was taken out Of the water the
other day. He had been seen by
reliable parties here, to whom he
said that he was one OF the gang
OF moulders picked up in the east
to go to San Francisco to work in
place of strikers there. He said
that the man who induced them
to undertake the venture, began
to drop them off in squads at /
towns this side Of the Missouri |
river on various pretexts; that he |
was with others dropped off here
in Peno, and told that if he crossed j
the mountains, he would be put
under arrest.
Yesterday afternoon one more
poor unfortunate was found dead
east Of town about mile in the
sagebrush. Truly, mans inhu-
mainly to man makes countless
thousands mourn. Our vicinity is
now full Of tramps, and it looks as
though we might have some trou-
BILE with them.

An ImD0riant Truth.

Mr.. SpurgcoM never declared more
important truth than when he said :
Controversy, painful as it is, is often
demanded of US but, after all, the
best campaigns against falsehood are
those in which truth comes most bold
ly into the field in her own proper ar.
ray. Preach that which is true, and
there will be the less need for pointing
out what is not true. 70 drive out
darkness bring in light.
"Do not take it for granted that the
people know. We must go over the
elementary truths; for the bulk of the
population do not know. We need not
fear repetition we ought to aim at it
that, line upon line, preccpt upon pre-
ccpt, the revelation of God may be
written ON the minds of men. All
the work is to .bc done over again, we
Iced to begin ut the beginning. Tic
first principles of the Reformation
must be rXpoundcd rs If they had new
or been heard Of, for some cOngrcSa-
tions have never heard of them from,
the present occupants Of their pulpits.
The doctrines Of grace must he taught
as carefully Us if they were quite new,
for new they will be to most minds
nowadays. They have heard them
carica;ured, and wilfully belied; but
they have never heard them eXpound-
ed in their simplicity"

Let the Girls ROmp.

Most mothers have a dread o.
r0mps; so they lecture the girls daily
on the proprieties and eXhort them tc
be little Ladies'. They like to see them
very quiet and gentle. and as prim as
possible. The lot of such children is
rather pitiahle, for they are deprived OF
the fun and froGc which they are enti
tied to. Children-boys and girls
must have exercise to keep them
healthy. Deprive them Of it, and they
will fade away like flowers without
sunshine. Running, racing, skipping,
climbing-these are things that
strengthen the muscles. expand the
chest, and build up the nerves. The
mild dose of exercise taken in the
nursery with calisthenics or gymnas.
tics will not invigorate the system like
Il good romp in the open air. Moth
ers, therefore, who counsel their little
girls to play quietly make a mistake
Better the laughing, rosy-cheeked
romping girl than the pale lily-faced
one, who is called every inch lady
The latter rarely breaks things, OF
tears her dresses, or tires her mothers
patience as the former does; but aftel
all, what does the tearing amount to
1t is not wise policy to put an old head
on young shoulders. Childhood is the
time for childish pranks and plays.
The girls will grow into womanhood
soon enough. Let them be children
as long as they can. Give them plen.
ty Of fresh air and sunlight and pleas
ure. BY all means give us hearty
healthy, romping girls, rather than
paic-faced little ladies condemned from
their very cradles to nervousness
headache and similar ailments.

Take an interest in your children's
sports, sympathize with their little sor-
rows and show them how to be happy
without constant visiting or having
visitors. There is so much done for
the instruction and pleasure of chill
dren at present that parents who are
not embracing such opportunities do
not deserve to live in this age, which
is truly a "golden one' for the little
folks. Literature for children is such
an improvement over the exciting tales
of the past. The many beautiful pic
lures, each story in itself which. will
entertain o child of almost any age.
Instructive games and innumerable
other amusements which will instruct
as well as amuse, can he purchased so
reasonably that they are within the
reach of the most modest income. In
deed I begrudge every nickle | see
wasted on sweet-meats by children
which might be put into something Of
lasting benefit to them and help to
teach them to love home, parents,
brothers and sisters better than all the
world besides.-Ladies' Home Journal.

SllbdUed.

A writer in Our -Four Footed Friends
relates that Il farmer had bull so
fierce that lie was kept constantly
chained by ring in his nose. He
seemed to have particular antipathy
for the farmers brother, who had pos
sibly irrilated him on some occasion,
and never saw him approach his shed
without beginning to below and paw
the ground.
One day there occurred terrible
thunder storm. 1t hailed violently,
and the thunder and lightning were
almost incessant. The bull meanwhile
was exposed in an open shed, where
he could be heard believing with ter
ror. The farmer proposed that one of
the laborers should 60 and remove him
into the shelter of the barn, but no one
of them was willing to face the storm,
and finally the farmers brother volun-
teered to undertake the task, facing at
once the double danger of the light
ming and the bull.
He put on his great coat and ventur-
ed into the yard. Ihe bull was trem-
bling with fear, the gristle of his nose
nearly torn through by his struggling
to get free, but as the man approached
he became quiet. Fear had disarmedi
him of his ferocily, and he suffered
himself to be united and led into the
barn.
The next morning, as the man was
crossing the yard, he remarked that
the bull no longer saluted him with
his accustomed below. Itstruck him
that possibly the animal might re-
member his kindness Of the night be-
fore. He accordingly approached him
and found that now, so far from show
! ing any dislike, the animal evidently
enjoyed his presence; bending his head
forward with The utmost gentleness
while the man rubbed his cars.
From that day the bull continued as
gentle as lamb, suffering bis former
enemy to play all manner Of tricks
with him-tricks which no one else on
the farm would have dared to attempt
and seeming always to take pleasure
in his company.

In Congress the other day Senator
Dawes presented over two hundred
and forty petitions from Massachusetts,
stating that more than 100000 gallons
of Intoxicating liquors arc annually
exportcl from the United States to
Africa, demoraliZing the people there.
Yes, and the records say that the prln,,
cipul part of it goes from Boston, and
Bishop Taylor who is, and has been
for some time on the ground, in his
Masazinc says: "True, rum is going
there. too, bat there are hopeful signs
even i'm this direction, for the nations
of Europc are uniting to exclude it.
The United States is almost the only

1t is shame. New England gener-
ally, and Boston particularly, were
the avowcd and special friends of the
negro in the days gone by. What are
they doing for him now? Destroying
him soul and body, by the hundreds,
because they can make gain by it.
Kirk Munr0c, who spends half of

Roman Catholic schools, according

Noah and the Devil.

When Noah was planting his vine
yard the devil came to him and said :
"What are you doing here, Noah ?"
Planting vineyard" says Noah!
"What is the use of a vineyard ?"
says the devil.
'Its fruit" said Noah, "whether
fresh or dry is sweet and good, and its
wine gladdeDs the heart"
"Let us work on shares" said the
devil
"Agreed,n said Noah.
Now what does the devil do? He
brings q lamb, lion, monkey and a
hog, sacrifices them on the spot, and
then mingles their blood with the soil
"What is that for ?" cried Noah.
Said the enemy, "These are the foul
stages q drunkard will have to pass
through by taking little he becomes
us simple as sheep, allowing every
body to shear him ; a little more, he
imagines himself lion, none so VIC
lent as he, little more, he becomes 8

good both of this world and of that

GypSics.

|. Gypsy is corruption Of Egyp-
tian. 1t was formerly believed that
the Gypsics were emigrants from the
banks of the Nile. Some held that
. they had followed Moses in the famous
exit from the dominions of the Pha.
roahs; but, not being Jews, they had
not been allowed with them to enter
the Promised Land. Thus they had
become cosmopolitan marauders.
=. Romanists circulate the story
that at the time of Herod's persucu-
ton, when Joseph and Mary, with the
child Jesus, had fled to Egypt, certain
people had refused TO entertain them.
For this God had punished them with
eXilement from their native country,
consigning them and their progeny to
perpetual vagabondism.
5. 1t is now generally conceded
that the original home of the Gypsies
was India. Their language, the Ro.
many, is an offspring of Sanscrit and
identical with the Hindustanee. They
came to Europe by way of Egypt, the
Moslem invasion facilitating their
transit from Asia to the ncighboring
continent.
4. The God of their Indian ances-
tors, Brahma, is neither known nol
worshiped by the Gypsies. In fact,
they are without any religion whatso-
ever. Words signifying God, soul,
eternity, etc, are not found in their
language.
5. One who studied the history and
characteristics of the Gypsies well, as
sures that their code Of morals is con-
lained in three maXims, very familiar
among them Q.) No matter as to
strangers, but be true to your people.
(2.) Men are free, but wives must be
faithful to their husbands. g. With
our kindred we must deal honestly; as
to strangers, debts should not give us
any concern. Generally they are lazy
dirty, thievish, treacherous, revenge
full, fond of strong drink and tobacco
The embodiment of wandering rogues
6. The Gypsy women, bodily chaste
are said to excel the men in roguery
They arc willy soothsayers, kidnappers
selling, administering poisons, acting
as go-betweeps. Men and women, il
colonies of fifty, or more, governed by
dukes and knights, wander from coun
try to country on byways, finding tenn
p0rary domicile in forests and deserts
from whence, in small squads, they
frequent the cities for purposes o
theft, etc, etc. Of tawny skin, higl
cheek bones, black eyes, shining black
hair, thin lips, dazzling white teeth
their limbs excel in elegant proportion
and agility. Of brilliant intellect
their rare gifts seek employment il
knavery. Not less than four million
Gypses infest the forests and noun
tain defiles of Europe and America.
