A sketch Of q well Known Carson
CIeFgyman.

Clergyman
The Reno Gazette publishes the fol.
lowing Of n Of our old citizens:
Among the popular preachers in the
State, and who especially endeared
himself to the pioneers Of the eastern
and central part of it, was q that
many yet remember as genial Psrson
Kelly. He was skilled in his calling,
scholarly and eloquent, and added a
vein Of life and jollity to every social
gathering. True, he was sometimes
restored to clerical dignity by the firm
but gentle admonition OF his deyout and
devoted wife, whose simple reproof,
couched in the one u~ttersnce, "Sam-
uel p" would return his c~ountenance
to the gravity demanded OF his calling.
But everybody liked him the rich
cultivated him the sick took cheer
from his presence; the giddy gave
cheerfully to the contribution box the
best liked him none the less, and the
sports would have him bury their
dead. Not a driver on the central
stage lines but preferred him TO any
one else on the box outside, and the
genial wag, Tom Rielley, who drove
in to the last "home station" many
years ago, used his strongest words Of
admiration when he said "Kelly was a
lizard" But Kelly's popularity led
him into politics, and to give him q
position would prove congenial TO his
tastes, he was elected State Superin-
tendent OF Public Schools and moved
to the capital. Then the greatest mis-
fortune that falls to man, befell him,
and the death OF his good wife checked
his ambitions. At the close Of his
term, he drifted, perhaps unwisely
into journalism, and became q hard
worked reporter on the San Francisco
papers, at a time when stirring po-
litical changes called forth steady toll
that soon became drudgery. He
banished grief in the exactions OF the
new life and worked with q will to
serve his new masters. Suddenly he
quit the pencil and with his only
child departed for the East to end his
early calling in the quiet Of his old
home. What led to his sudden re-
solve may he inferred by his old Ne
vada friends in the following: He
was met by an old friend in San
Francisco just after the election Or the
adoption OF the new constitution.
Reporters had been hard worked
in gathering returns, and Kelly told
his friend OF the fatigue.
Well" said the friend, "you were
Of course paid extra for the extra
work."
"No, not a bit of it," said the
former parson.
What" said his friend, " after be-
ing up SO many nights, did not the
rich proprietor OF the leading daily pay
handsomely?
Kelley's look Of disgust over the
treatment would require an artist to
portray on canvas, but there was no
mistaking the tone with which he re-
piled:
NAV! They didn't even say

EASTERN NEVADA HINES.
A Rich District LanguishinE for
Lack Of Caplfal.

Speaking Of the mining districts sur
rounding Toano, Elko county, last
Tuesdays Salt Lake Tribune says /:
A. p. Shively Of Toano, New, was in
the city yesterday, and while here he
gave a bond ON a mine he has near
Toano called the Success, to Ed. Egan
in the sum OF $500. Mr.. Egan paid
part CT the money on this bond and
will at once begin developing the prop
erty. Ii has been developed but little
so far. and yet il shows a vein five to
eight feet wide. In sinking a shaft
Is feet and making some open cuts
some v or eight tons Of good ore
has been piled on the dump. This
ore came from the rich streaks and
will run high in silver. IL is located
nine miles southeast OF Toano, the
nearest p~ostoffice, but Loray Station,
on the Central Pacific, is only two and
a half miles from the mine.
Mr.. Shively says that the country
there is but little prospected, while
within a radius OF twelve miles OF To-
ano are the Big Six-Mile District, the
Loray District and the Castle Park
District, in all Of which is being done
a little in the way Of mining. In all Of
these there is ore about, quite a num-
Der of the prospects making in the ag-
gregate a number OF carloads, but
which is not shipped because the own
ers prefer to have something to show
on the dump.
In Loray they have got ore from
small veins that run as high as 1000
ounces Of silver. while there are larger
veins carrying good ore of low grade,
which,is extensive enough, he believes,
to make them a good camp. What is
needed is more capital and more min
ing men to develop the country. Its
nearness to the railway and ease Of &C.
cess are very favorable features for at
tracing capital to these districts.

A Promising Young Man.

Sunday evening while out for o
stroll on one of our residence streets,
our attention was attracted by loud
and vulgar talk mingled with the soft
pleading voice of a lady, which was
enough to bring the most hardened to
terms. Approaching the parties, we
found to our amazement, it was a
mother and son. The young man was
under the influence Of liquor, and the
mother was trying TO get him to enter
the house and not to return to town.
For her pleadings and 20 years OF
kindness she received curses and
abuse from one whom she loves more
than her life. It is safe to predict
what this young mans end will be-

Rousseau the Landscape Painter.

As we stand before a great landscape
by Rousseau like the ''Ravines of Apre-
mont" lately in the collection of M.
Marmontel, or of the "Hoar Frost" in
that of Mr.. Walters at Baltimore, one
must call up a powerfully built man of
middle size with full brown beard; a
wide, high forehead, which his friends
declared Olympian; shapely, straight
nose; hair worn rather long, after the
fashion of forty years ago; direct limpid
gaze from eyes of unusual largeness and
grayish blue in color, and mouth whose
lines indicate the absorbed man and the
reticent. Hewas an extremely thought
full man, not by any means smileless and
the furthest remove from stupid; he
was one of those who are hard to win
for a friend, but once friend, eminent
ly the person with whom to pass weeks
in the pursuit of worthy study. There
is the sympathetic man who talks, and
the sympathetic man who is silent.
Rousseau was the latter. Yet he could
talk, and talk well, on nature, art and
music, and he wrote charming letter.

A Cataract in Labrador.

The interior of Labrador undoubtedly
is the largest unexplored area on this
continent. Up the Grand river, which
empties into the Atlantic ocean at Ham
ilton inlet, are the Grand falls, which,
if everything is true about them that is
reported, are the most stupendous falls
in the world. They are only about 160
miles up the river, but only two white
men have ever seen them. Mr.. R. F.
Holme three years ago went from Eng
land to visit the Grand falls.
He organized little party to accom-
pany him inland, and arrived within
about fifty miles of the falls, when he
was compelled to return on account Of
the failure of his provisions. The Labra-
dor Indians say these falls are haunted,
and they carefully avoid them, believing
that they will die if they look upon
them. The two white men who have
seen them are Mr.. Maclean, who, as he
was ascending the river in 1889, was
stopped by the falls, and Mr.. Kennedy,
who over thirty years ago had charge of
Hudson Bay post, in Labrador. Mr..
Holme says the height of the falls is not
certainly known, but in some respects
there is little doubt they are the grea' st
in the world. d.-Goldthwaites Geograp4li-

Story of a Swallowed Pin.

The following peculiar story emanates
from Kingston, N. ": Agnes Ryan, who
lives with her parents in North Rondout,
has had a peculiar experience. Nearly
ten years ago she swallowed an ordinary
pin, but as nothing serious occurred at
the time her parents were not alarmed
and apprehended no danger. AS she
grew older she became a strong and ro-
bust young woman. About two years
ago her health began failing, and she
complained constantly of severe pain
in her left side. She also had choking
spells. A large bunch formed on her
neck, which was supposed to be of can
cerous nature. It was not thought that
she could live long. A few days ago she
was taken suddenly i'll with a coughing
spell, during which she coughed and
vomited, and the pin she swallowed ten
years ago was discharged. She is on a
fair way to speedy recovery.-Philadel.

Pin Money for Ministers Wives.

The season has been prolific in we'd
dings, and clergymen's wives have been
correspondingly happy. 1t is an unwrit-
ten law that they pocket the matrimo-
nial fees of their husbands Office. The
wife of a prominent rector who is much
in demand to tie the knot in society cir
cles confesses to having reserve fund
made up entirely of bridegroom generos-
ity. The fees range from 81 to $50, $25,
$15 and $40 being very common sums
offered. Exceptional fees are by no
means rare, and $3.50 or even $500 has
not been considered too much by an oc-

Small Farms.

One of the mistakes of the times is the
popular belief that everything in a busi-
ness way must be big. The idea has
grown out of our haste to grow wealthy
and from superficial calculation, such as,
if one acre pays $1OO, 100 acres would
pay $4,000. Men seldom make such
money out of vary large orchards, and
while source of envy to small holders
they are often, in fact, just holding on
or are running ahead on borrowed capi-
tai. The men who make money and are
getting rich out of horticultural pursuits
are those who do not attempt more than
they can look after personally. From
ten to eighty acres are the sized tracts
which pay the highest per cent. of profit,
if they are properly conducted. The
idea that living cannot be made out Of
small place has retarded many from go
ing into business in which they might
now be making an independent living

An Obliging Young Indian.

Two young women were alone one
day when a young Indian brave whom
they knew came to see the man of the
house. The man was away, and the In
dian sat down to wait for him. During
this interval the girls, being of lively
turn, began asking him questions about
his former mode of life. Among other
things they asked him to give a war
whoop and show them how he scalped
people, but he gave no answer.
Some time after when they were talk
ing Of other subjects, and had forgotten
all about him, he sprang up suddenly,
gave war whoop that made the house
top ring; then snatching big knife that
lay on the table with one hand, he took
the top knot of one of the girls in the
other, and ran the back of the knife
around her scalp. They, were each
scalped in this manner, and were nearly
frightened out of their wits, but he sat
down and began to laugh, and told them
he had only done what they had asked
him to do. They soon recovered from
the shock and laughed heartily at the
Indians joke. Yankton Cor. Springfield

Mrs. Shaw in st. PETERSBURG.


The reports Of the success of Mrs.
Alice Shaw, the whistler, in Russia are
contradicted by trustworthy advices
which come from London. So far from
making phenomenal hit, the beautiful
American caught a decided frost in st.
Petersburg. The company was organ
lied in London, and proceeded to the
land Of the czar with great flourish of
trumpets. Making a somewhat pro-
tracted stay en- route in Berlin, consid-
cradle financial loss was incurred by an
inability to secure an engagement, the
singularly stolid Germans failing to see
what delight could accrue from whist
ling.
In st. Petersburg the reception was
quite as disheartening; no dates had
been booked, and the local managers
were slow to experiment with the
kind of entertainment which La Belle
Miffieuse offered. To cap the climax
Rubinstein got hold of the pianist of the
company, and told him that it would
everlastingly ruin his reputation if he
played accompaniments for a whistler
That did settle it; the pianist made his
escape as fast as he could and retreated
to his native England. AS for the fair
Mrs. Shaw, she was foundering in the
inhospitable SHOWS of Russia, waiting
for an opportunity to exhibit her curious
talent.-Chicago News.

Old Dresses Worn Again.

At pink dinner en- costume given
last week to twelve ladies of social prom
inence one of the guests wore the actual
toilet in which she appeared at recep-
ton thirty years ago. 1t was the height
of the fashion at that time. The dress
was a magnificent one of heavy old rose
silk. with trimmings of Honiton lace.
1t was cut away in the neck, with vol
luminous sleeves, full gathered skirt and
immense hoops. She wore a headdress
to match, mitts, and carried bag. Her
pink kid CATERS were long and slender,
and laced on the inside. Another guest
wore genuine gown of her great-great-
great This was white
silk, with clusters of brilliant flowers on
a brocaded ground, and was worn with
a petticoat of another shade, to which
large Gainsborough hat corresponded in
color. Old laces and jewels completed
the costume, and its wearer, as did her
ancestor, adorned her fair face with
numerous patches of court plaster in star
and other designs.
With those gay toilets perfect Quaker
costume admirably contrasted. The ex-
quisite pearl gray gown and poke bonnet
were made by New York modiste, and
were worn by very beautiful New Jer-
sey woman. Lady Washington assisted
at the dinner, personated by a stately
dame. and Spanish senorita in corn
color and black sat next to a Turkish
lady of high degree. Childhood in
white frock, long faxen curls, baby
slippers and wide brimmed hat was also
present. The feast was a famous one.
