4 Deserted Place.

AT last we are alone ?"
1t was the man who spoke.
The woman trembled and lifted her eyes
to his face.
They were beautiful eyes, but they were
tremuous eyes, eyes which look out from a
heart which is irresolute, fearful.
He stamped his heavy foot upon the floor
of their room
The echoes brought back in their invisi
bic arms the sound and let it ripple out
agian until it struck the walls once more and
fell into the vast void of silence.
A bat, disturbed by the unusual activity,
darted from a corner and blindly dashed in
eccentric commissions about the dusty build
ing.
Great ropes of cobweb, burg down from
the ceiling, aud across the corners of the
room dead flies swung lightly in the ham
mocks the spiders had fastened there.
The dust rose in listless clouds from the
shock of the heavy footf Il, and sank again,
overcome by its own inertia.
Even the air was resting.
The spirit ofthe desoation of desolation
seemed to prevade the place.
The woman looked furtively around upon
her dim surroundings and shivered
The man laughed harshly.
"Alone, | said, he growled.
Eyes" she murmured
A faint light struggled in through the
great windows in front, thick with dust.
"where are we?" she whispered, and
shivered as the bat dashed into her hair.
Listen" he replied hoarsely, Eve are in
store which does not advertise"

Meissonier, like many other celebrities,
had passion for gardening. His gardener,
an accomplished botanist, knew to perfec-
ton the seeds of every plant, and Nelson
Ter had often tried in vain to throw him off
his guard
"This time I've got him." the artist re
marked to party of friends at the dinner
table, and he showed them small packet
containing the dried roe of herring. He
sent for the gardener.
"Do you know this seed ?" Meissonier in
quired.
The gardener carefully scrutinized the
grains. "Why not?" he said at last
"They are the seeds of the polpus auscimusi
a very rare tropical plant"
Glow long will they be in coming up ??
Meissonier asked, with chuckle Of suppress
sed exultation,
"About fortnight, was the reply.
Two weeks later the guests were again as
sembled at Meissonier's table, after dinner
the gardener was announced.
"Meissonier," the man said, ''the seed ha:
just come up"
"Ah! you surprise me" the artist ex-
claimed, as he rose and led the way into tn,
garden to examine the botanical phenome,
non.
The gardener lifted glass shade and dis
closed to view small bed with three row:
of picked herrings' heads peeping out o.
the earth Everybody laughed. Nleission
Ter dismissed the gardener on the spot, but
took him on again the next day.

Fly Time.
beer

Fly time is now beginning in ear
nest. aud the little pests are in
the nail !, in the baby's mouth and
everywhere, and the question Of
how to get rid Of them IS in every
housewives mouth. So we offer
the following suggestion taken
from the New York Journal: It is
said that a dish OF strong green
tea, sweetened, is greatly relished
by house flies and is certain death
to them. It is also claimed that
a netting of large meshes stretched
across the windows of a room
lighted, only one side, will not be
passed by the fiies.--Enterprjse.
But the surest way of all is to
use the new insect anihilator
compounded by Mr.. Burt OF this
city.
Two weeks ago he made up IA
OF. boxes and placed them on sale
at Heidencer's drug store. Only
three boxes were left yesterday.
1t has proven very destructive to
flies and bed bugs, as well as the
insects that play havoc with your
fruit trees.
1t is non-poisonous to human
beings, and 25 cents worth keeps
a house clear Of flies foI one
week.

THE ZIRN MINE.
II hundreds OF Dollars in n Handful
of Rock.

William Zirn and Peter Ander-
son were in fIom Pine Nut Tues
day, with what they estimate to be
$500 in gold rock. He carried
the small packages in a couple Of
sacks and exhibited to the people
at public places in town. This
was taken out of the ZiIl mine
Monday, and Zirn says Otto
Schultz, his partner took about
800 worth of rock to Carson Sun
day. The Zi;n lind is really mar
Vicious. Mr.. Zirn told the writer
that he took this rich rock from a
shaft between SO and 30 feet deep.
He also says that he finds i'm
mensely rich rock 200 feet from
the shaft. Zirn discovered fine
quartz in this location in 1884 and
has been following it up ever
since. At times he says his part
ner Otto ShuItz, who has backed
bin up during these years, wanted
to throw up the claim. Zirn
would not give it up. lie liked
the formation and believed the
claim was rich.
In describing the ledge, Zirn
says it runs north and south and
that its course to the north is di-
rect for Mount Davidson. while to
the south its course is in the di-
rection Of the old Mammoth mine
near Carter's Courier.

PARSON KELLY.
4 Sketch OF Well Known Car
son Clergyman

The Reno Gazette publishes the
following
| Among the popular preachers
IN the State, and who especially
endeared himself to the pioneers
of the eastern and central part OF
if, was one that many yet remem-
Der as genial Parson Kelly. He
was skilled in his calling, scholarly
and eloquent, and added vein of
| lie and jollty to every social
gathering. True, he was some
times restored to clerical dignity
by the firm hut gentle admonition
of his devout and devoted wife,
whose simple rerroof, couched in
| the one utterance, Samuel p
would return his countenance to
the gravity demanded of his call
ing. But everybody liked him;
the rich cultivated him; the sick
took cheer from his presence; the
giddy gave cheerfully to the con-
tribution box; the best liked him
none the less, and the sports
would have him bury their dead.
Not 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 sta
ton" many years ago. used his
strongest words Of admiration
when he said Kelly was a liz
ard" But Kelly's popularity led
him into politics, and to give him
d position would prove congenial
to his tastes, he was elected State
Superintendent of Public Schools
and moved to the capital. Then
the greatest misfortune that falls
to man, befell him, and the death
O. his good wife checked his
ambitions. At the close of his
term, he drifted, perhaps unwisely
into Journalism, ana became a
hard worked reporter on the San
Francisco papers, 1T Il time when
stirring political changes called
forth steady toll that soon became
drudgery. He banished grief in
the exactions OF the new life and
worked with g will to serve his
new masters. Suddenly he quit
the pencil and with his only child
departed for the east TO end his
life III the placid pursuit Of his
early calling in the quiet of his old
home. What led to his sudden
resolve may be inferred by his old
Nevada friends in the following:
He was met by an old friend in
San Francisco just after the cleo
ton or the adoption ot the new
constitution. Reporters had been
hard worked in gathering re-
turns, and Kelly told his friend
OF the fatigue.
WELL" said the friend you
were of course paid ex for the
axtra work 9,5
mo, not a bit of it. > said the
former parsOn.
What" said lis friend, latter
being up so many nights. did not
the rich proprietor of the leading
daily pay you handsomely?"
KeiIy'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 replied:

will prove the most popular, and
then again, we would like to see
this fund to the heroic little woman
become general all over the Coast,

Tough and Dude.
TAKING LIBERTIES WITH THE
WRONG MAN.

Probably one of the most surprised
bullies that ever attempted to make a
game of man now nurses a black eye
and broken nose down on the South
Side, where he lives He was stand
ing in the doorway of a Grand avenue
store a few nights since, talking with
another tough man and leering at ev-
cry man and woman that chanced to
pass that way, when, under the cleo
trio light, which bids the weary way
farer welcome in front of the Planking-
ton House, he saw what he was pleas
ed to call dude coming in their direc-
ton, smoking cigar.
"D'ye see the dude comm, Nisby?"
he said to his companion.
''Yes, an l tink it's a dirty shame
dat he is spoilin' dat nice cigar when
he is only fit to smoke cigaretts."
'Dat's fact, me boy, an I'm blam-
ed if l intend to stand it."
"What are you goin' to do about
it ?"
"Just watch me, an if l don't have
that cigar inside of a minute den I'll
eat me hat, dats all"
As the young man drew near the
bully stepped from the door, and ap-
preaching the unsuspecting pedestrian
said
"Say, me lad, let me take your cigar,
will you ?"
The young man, thinking that the
fellow desired light knocked the ash
es off his weed, and handed it to the
stranger. who, with smile, placed it
between his teeth.
"What do you mean by that? asked
the astonished young fellow as he saw
the use his cigar had been put to.
ooh dat's all right, bub," said the
tough man "dis is pleasant little
way that | have when time hangs hea-
Willy on my hands. Run on home now
or your mother will be worried, see p
ayes, think that l see," replied
the young man, as he stepped up in
| front of the loafer, 'but, strange as 1t
may seem, my mother is not in the
habit of getting worried, and there is
no occasion for my shortening my stay
with you. Besides, l, too, have a
pleasant little way of my own to pass
away the time when the same hangs
heavily upon my hands. 1t is some
thing like this"
In another moment the bully was
stretched out on the sidewalk with one
eye closed, and when he arose a blow
on the bridge of the nose once more
laid him out. The young man whom
| he had sized up as dude turned ou
to be one of the crack boxers in the
gymnasium, and two blows of his sclen
| tihc fist had been sufficient to put the
tough to sleep.

Fourth Of July Excursion to Gettysburg
via Pennsylvania Railroad.

The widespread interest which cen
tres in the Battlefield of Gettysburg
has induced the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company to arrange general excur-
sion to that point from all principal
stations on its system on July 3rd and
4th next. Not only the fact that this
day is a national holiday renders the
date appropriate, but it is at the same
time the twenty eighth anniversary OF
the great battle. Independence Day
is also favorite date for the visit of
veterans to the field, and there are al,
ways ceremonies of interest to civilians
as well as soldiers. On this occasi on
tickets will be sold from all principal
stations on the Pennsylvania System
on July srd and 4th, valid for return
until July 9th. The rates which will
prevail are exceedingly low. Round
trip tickets will be sold from New York
at S., Philadelphia at S., Washington
at S., Canandaigua $3.50, Pittsbure
ST.. so, and at proportionately low fig
ures from other stations.
The regular train service will be a
vailable in most cases, but special ser
vice may also be provided, due notice
of which will be published later.

1T Is TO TEACH THE LADIES.
AN IMPORTATION or DESIGNERS or
LADIES' GOWNS. WHAT THE ENTER
PRISE OF AN INTERNATIONAL FASH
ION MAGAZINE HAS DONE FOR
ITS READERS.

New YORK, April I8--Among the
cabin passengers who arrived from
Europe to-day by the steamship 'La
Bourgogne,' were fourteen Partisan
designers of ladies' fashionable gowns.
These artists have been engaged by
the enterprising managers of The New
YORK AND PARIS YOUNG LADIES
FASHION BAzAR, to contribute exclus-
lively to the columns of that popular
magazine. All of them are we'll known
in New York, for their regulations
have proceeded them. Mrs. Astor, the
Vanderbilts, Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs.
Marshall o. Roberts are among the
society leaders who have worn gowns
designed by these artists. During an
interview with reporter one OF the
designers said:
paris still leads the world of fashion
although Eugene no longer sits on the
throne. Partisan gowns have a style
about them that cannot be equaled.
That, / suppose, is the reason why
we have been engaged to come to
America to teach the ladies of your
beautiful country, through the columns
of The New YORK AND PARIS YOUNG
LADIES FASHION BAzAR, how these
wonderful creations ofthe dress makers
art are constructed. 1t is our bust
ness to design the handsomest and
most fashionable gowns for the differ
ent seasons of the year. These designs
will be printed in colors and will be
accompanied by such clear instructions
as to the selection of materials and
the cutting and fitting of the garments
that no woman of sense will have the
least difficulty in making perfect-htting
gowns herself. 1t is knack, science
to fashion gown that will make a
very small and fleshy lady appear slim.
Not one designer out OF a thousand
can hit upon the true lines unless he
makes it study of "a lifetime. You
ought to see the May number of our
Magazine. We have designs in it that
will take the hearts of the ladies by
storm. They do not get new dress
made up every day, and l can tell you
it is an important item to get the best
magazine, and the very latest and
most exquisite Paris styles, and have
it fashioned like the one that is best
suited to their figure.
