A LONELY BRIDAL TOUR.

why the Sights of Europe Failed to Inn
press a Melancholy Traveller.
Some years ago, while looking at the
clock at Strasburg, said Chauncey De-
pew in his Baltimore lecture, | noticed
a large party of American touris is max
ing the rounds of that celebrated an
cient city. | was told by one of them
that while most of the visitors hugely
enjoyed the trip, there was by way of
contrast. one among them whom moth
ing wonderful in nature or art could
touch.
The landscape had no charms for
him; the Alps did not impress him; the
beauties of Paris and Vienna did not
evoke his ecstacies. Nothing that he
saw had the slightest effe ct of drawing
out the least expression of admiration.
Weeks and weeks passed, and the rest
of the party were dumfounded at his
lack of appreciation of the sights which
met them on all sides.
Finally it was decided to send com
mittee of four, two gentlemen and two
ladies, to his room and inquire what it
was nreventea his enjoyment of the
trip.

tee, tell us what is the matter If any
one in the party has displeased you we

With the great banks of gravel al
along the creek in town, and with the
ease and cheapness with which the
same might be hauled and placed upon
our streets, it is shame that every
body in DeLamar should be wadiDg
through the mud whenever it rains and
in dust ankle deep all summer. About
the only relief we have from one or the
ground is frozen or covered with snow.
1t is at least possible, at com mparatiyely
small expense, to make good gravel
walk from one end of town to the other,
to save shoe leather and the tracking of
great masses of sticky mud into every
business house and residence. If few
parties will place gravel walks in front
of the property they occupy, others will
be encouraged to do the same and 9TH
ers yet finally shamed into doing it un-
til pedestrians could walk from one end
of town to the other without the discom-
forts and vexatons now experienced.
We hope some one will start in just to
show how easily and practically it can
be done. 1t would not require a great
outlay to gravel the entire street up and
down the gulch through town. If there
were only some means by which all who
are interested, or would be benefited,
could be made to bear a fair proportion
of the expense, the cost would scarcely
be felt by any one. We wish some pub
lic-sprited business man would take the
matter in charge and stir up an interest
in the matter. The road .overseer, in the
district from here to Silver City, if pro-
vided with a team, wagon and couple
of men, could very cheaply improve
that road in like manner, and it ought
to be done. There are but few places in
America where the inestimable value of
good roads is properly appreciated, and
still there are hut few places where the
making of good roads has not progressed
faster thaa IN his portion of Idaho. Let
us begin the reform right here in Della
mar.

Thanksgiving,

Ihe Thanksgiving turkey has been
dissected. He was beautiful and lus-
cious bird in Owyhee County this year.
thought their turkey was pretty toueh
and not seasoned as nicely as it should
have been, but the majority of the mi
/ ners and business men ate their Thanks
giving turkey and mince pies with the
satisfaction of knowing that this has
been a prosperous year for them. At no
time in many years has this county
been so prosperous. The farmers have
had big crops of hay, vegetables and
fruit and have realized fair prices for
them the stock-growers have met with
comparatively few losses, while the in
crease has been more than usual. Horse
growers have not realized good prices,
but cattle and sheep men have had no
cause of complaint. The great industry
of the county, mining, has hourished.
Developments have been made during
the year from which the profits to be
realized are still to come, but are rea-
eonably well assured. The town of De-
Lamar is still one company camp SO
far as production has gone, but the
signs are that another year will find the
Howe Manhattan, the Chautanqne, the
Stoddard and perhaps other properties
will be counted among the profitable
nrO,1noarc Tho 10 fI1ll of
promises for the prospectors who have
made numerous locations. They are all
as full of hope now as they were full of
turkey on Thursday evening. We hope
to see them all with their pockets as
full of money this time next year. They,
above. all, others, deserve success. With
their pack animals, picks and a grub
stake, they roam over the hills and
make the discoveries which make the
country prosperous. 1t were they, as
much as the army in the field, who
saved the country when in rebellion
Without the gold aud silver which the
mines produced when the country was
in the throes of an internecine struggle,
the result would have been different.
Without the bullion since produced, the
enormous debt then incurred could not
have been liquidated. While those who
bore arms in that great civil strife have
been pensioned, those who furnished
the sinews of war have been wronged,
by Congress taking from silver its fuDc-
tiou as money, which it had enjoyed
since the earliest civilization, and MAX
ing it only a commodity, the price of
which has been regulated by foreign
nation. If the incoming Congress re-
stores it to its proper function the miner,
although not the person most benefited
thereby, will eat his next Thanksgiving
dinner with better relish

The following is the preamble to the
resolutions passed by the Denver Min
ing Congress upon the free coinage
question. 1t has a bi-metallic ring
about it which gives the resolutions
which follow, the chink of the pure
metal:
WHEREAS, The decentralization of sill
yer worked practical violation of every
contract then existing in the United
States, entailed uncounted losses, re-
duced prices more than per cent. and
its effect is practically to make debts
perpetual, as it takes from the debtor
the ability to pay /; but it causes con-
traction in the currency, which reduces
values until there is no profit left f the
farmer, planter, or men of small capital
VINO depend upon the sale of their pro-
duets for returns for their labor.
That we believe the certificates of the
government, backed dollar for dollar by
gold and silver coin on deposit in the
treasury of the United States, is safe
and sound currency, and has been ap-
proved by the people.
That the gold and silver of the West,
pouring in a steady stream upon the
East for forty years, vitalized every form
of business there, steadied and upheld
the credit of the nation through the
great war, and made redemption possi-
BILE, and that what we now demand is
much more to the interests of the East
than of the West as the productions of
the East exceed in value the production
of the West.

The NUGGET is indebted to Miss Nc
Afee, the efficient teacher of the Della
mar school, for the following items con-
cerning the same:
The first quarter ended last week.
There will, however, be no vacation un-
til Christmas week.
The following pupils stood the high
est in their respective grades, upon the
teachers report for the last month
Class A, William ellison; Class B,
Clara Franks; Class C, Jennie Joyce.
There are now fortyfye pupils on the
rolls.
Friday afternoons are devoted to lit
erary exercises. The following is one
of the compositions written by a twelve
year-old boy, which is rather clever
work:
COMPOSITION ON THANKSGIVING
Once on time there lived a man
with his daughter. They lived in the
woods, few miles from the nearest
town. The man loved to live in the
woods. He was hunter. One day he
told his daughter to get ready, as he was
going to town. They went down to the
lake and got into their canoe. They
took some fur to town to sell. When
they reached town the father left his
daughter with a friend of hers and went
to sell his furs. While she was waiting
for her father her friend asked her to
help her prepare for Thanksgiving. AS
she had never heard of Thanksgiving
she asked her friend what it meant.
Her friend told her that it meant that
when all the baryests were gathered in,
to give thanks to God. She talked
awhile with her friend, and when her
father called for her she had little pail
of mince meat and lot OF receipts Her
father took her to store and told her
he was going to buy her cloak. She
told him that she didn't want cloak,
she wanted to keep Thanksgiving. So
they went and bonght tarkey and a lot
of other things. The next day she fixed
up everything, for that day was Thanks
giving. In the middle of the night she
sas awakened by something knocking
down the pots and pans in the kitchen.
She went and reused her father and told
him there was something in the kitch-
en-. He got up. took his rifle and exam
ined it. When they reached the kitch-
en- they found it was bear. Her fa-
ther shot the bear. In the morning
they found that the bear had ell the
turkey and trampled the rest of the
things to pieces. The landlady of one
of the hotels heard about it and sent
them turkey, already cooked, cram
berry sauce, mince pies and lot of 9TH
er things, so they had Thanksgiving
dinner after all.

Mr.. Alfred Young, the accountant
for the DeLamar company, who came
here last June, departed for his home
in London, this morning. Mr., Young is
clever EDglishman who was very
much out of his element in an Ameri-
can mining camp. He never would be
able to adapt himself to mining camp
manners and customs. He might find
congenial companions in New York or
Boston, where so many fools are apes
of everything English, but the blasted,
bloomin West was too much for his
nerves. He made break on the Fourth
of July which came very nearly getting
him into trouble. Hereafter he will
stick to Piccadily and the Strand. No
more America for him. and, we hope.
no more of his style of English for us.

An interesting case in the courts at
Philadelphia recently proves that the
quality of mercy is not tstrained. A man
was on trial for shooting the betrayer of
his home. There was no question that
he had actually shot the man as charged
and was guilty under the law. The
judge charged the jury that they must
not be led away by sentiment, and that
an acquittal would be striking blow at
the administration of the law. They ac-
cordingjy found the prisoner guilty, the
majesty of the law was vindicated, and
then the judge vindicated mans right
