Reign OF the Brunette.

A statistical inquiry has brought
out the curious fact that in England
u brunette has ten chances to being
welded to nine chances if she is a
blonde, and the English women are
gradually losing their fairness of skin
and hair in darkor typos, simply be-
cause men persist in electing the
darker haired women for wives. The
same thing is happening in Germany,
France and Switzerland, and it would
seem that the reign of the fair-haired
belle is doomed.-IBoston Herald.

Valley rancher, whom we shall Call

The Carson Appeal says Saturday
morning there was considerable agri-
cultural profanity in Carson valley
and this vicinity. The frost hit the
vegetables some terrible body blows
IN the night. The potato crop was
the worst sufferer. Where thoy were
the most advanced they were leveled
to the ground and left black. This
means a great set back to the potato
cror, and sRuds will be high this
Fall. The fruit was too far advanced
to be I'M ured.
&%Enterprise:-The University cadets
at Reno feel sadly the absence of a
gymnasium and drill hall. The State
is not in a financial condition to build
them one, and they have resolved to
appeal to James G. Fair for help, and
have written him letter stating their
grievances and desires. They may
not have written in vain. The Sen
ator can never forget Nevada while
he lives, and perhaps be would like
Nevada to remember him after he
is dead by building a differently
shaped shaft than a hole in the
ground.
Twenty-Five teams, loaded with the
first consignment of 400 tons of rails
for use in the construction OF the
Phoebe and Jackrabbit railroad, left
Milford on the 18th instant. These
rails are from the old track of the
Denver & Rio Grande road, and are
nearly twice as heavy as the rails
used in the construction of the
Bullionville road here. They will in
sure a safe and durable track. Three
ore cars of the ten to be used on the
road, are now at the head Of Meadow
Valley street. They are OF from three
to five tons capacity each.-Pioche

Three doctors joined a secret order
In Omaha, says the Omaha Bee. At
the door Of tho lodge-room they were
met by three fellow physicians. The
outside sentinel was life insurance
agent; the inner doorkeeper was q
druggist; the oath was administered
by n minister. The escort was an I'M
dertaker and tombstone dealer, and
the treasurer was city bill Lollecror.
The whole affair was exceptionally
appropriate and appropriately lugu-
brious. It was the Omaha way of
doing things right. 1t is no doubt
quite fortunate for the future of the
organization that it is secret one,
but plainly, equally fortunate for
those who have not had tho foresight
to jpin. Look out for an increased
death rate in Omaha.

A. ID. Mayhill, nominee for JUS
tice of the peace in Franklin coun-
ty, writes the AttUrney-Gener;l as
follows:
@Thc question now is, eligibility or
ineligibility to hold office for the next
term commencing January LIST, 1892.
Suppose a man had not paid his taxes
exactly on or before tho first day of
February for the year 1890, he being
registered, and pays his this years tax

right to hold said Office or has he not

proceeding years tax-payiug, apply in

The Attorney General replied:
"As the nominee of primary your
namc should be placed OF The official
ballot for tho November election. Be
fore the commencement Of your term,
should you be elected, assuming that
you will pay this years taxes, you will

you may not vote at the election. El-
igibilitY has been held 10 refer TO Tho

"The constitution Of Michigan, which

Candid Juror.

The late Prentice Mulford, the
well-known writer, has recorded
his experience as a juror in Cali
fornia suit about the ownership Of
some valuable mining property. He
says:

IL was ridiculous that / should

The case was called. The lawyers,
rs usual, on either side opened by
declaring their intention 10 prove
themselves all right and their oppo-
nents all wrong. / did not know
which was the plaintiff, which the
defendant. Twenty-four witnesses
on one side swore to something, 10
anything, TO everything; thirty-six
on the other side swore it all down
again. They thus swore against each
other for two days and half. The
court sat fourteen hours per day.
The trial lasted five days.
Opposing counsel, rival claimants,
even witnesses, all had maps, long,
brilliant maps OF their claims, which
they held before us and swung def
antly at each other. The sixty wit
nesses testified from 1849 up to 1860.
After days OF such testimony as to
ancient boundary lines and ancient
mining laws, the lawyers on either
side, still more to mystify the case,

ALiberal Jewish Pancr.

The Jei0ish TidiHgs, a clear-toned
organ of Judaism, published in R0-
chester, says that the intelligent
Jews OF this country "dO not seek
to preserve the unity OF their type,
but on the contrary have a deep
seated desire To meet the adherents
Of other religions upon an equal
footing )" that "lhe question OF the
internarriage Of Jews and Christians
is gradually solving itself, as such
marriages are becoming 0f more frc-
quent occurrence" and that "the
plane ol real social equality is soon
Ia be established, aud the nearer
VIC get to that happy and desirable
end the closer become the social re-
latiuns ui the two great religious di-
yisions,sO that intcrinarrIage follows
rs a matter Of cOurre.p In pursu-
ing this line Of thought, the Jeicish
1idiRgs says further:
sMr. Swinton falls into the error of
supposing that the Jews arc race Of
people. The Jews have no longer n
racial identity; tho only bond that
binds them is u religious one. The
Jews are now SO called because they
arc adhercnts OF Judaism, aud man
Of any race who acknowledges belief
in the Jewish religion is jew"
There are some surprising pas
sages in the foregoing. If these
passages arc CORRECT, If tho Jewish
people in this country do not seek
to preserve the unity Of their type,
and have no longer race identity,
but are willing 10 amalgamate with
people Of other races, the Jewish
spirit must have undergone a great
transformation in our times, and the
ancient Jewish traditions must have
lost their influence in the United
States. i should like to know whelIi-
or the remarks OF the JeiCish Iidings
meet the approval Of the JeleiSh
Messenger and the Hebrec Standard
Of this city, or Of any considerable
number OF orthodox Tabbis.-JOha

A Suggestion.

In cities one Of tho most useful
functions of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association is To furnish a place
OF common resort, open TO every
body who chooses To visit il, where
young men are surrounded by good
influences, and Withdrawn from
many dangerous temptations.
Strangers wandering about the
streets and not knowing where 10
spend the idle hours ut their dispos-
al are often attracted by the famil-
lar letters "Y. Nj. G. A." over the
doorway of some building, follow
ed perhaps by the words, "Come in;
free to all !" or other form of invi-
tation and welcome. Entering, they
arc cordially received, and find
newspapers, books and magazines
in abundance, together with such
games as chess. draughts, dominoes,
etc. Many youths as we'll as Older
men are thus kept from spending in
saloous or gaming-rooms the time
that they know not how else TO get
rid of.
The association just organized
here should do the same thing in
Port Gibson. They will have To
rent a room anyhow, and for a few
dollars a month they can hire a boy
TO take charge aud keep it opvn ev-
cry day. Our citizens will be glad
TO help the cause not only by occa-
sional money contributions, but by
giving books and magazines. Near
ly every paper in the state would
cheerfully put the association on ITS
free list if asked, and 4 small sum
would get an ample supply oi first
class weekly journals from the great
cities. Then, with innocent games
like chess and checkers, the Y. NJ.
G. A. rooms would soon become the
most popular resort in town. Port
Gibson greatly needs such a read
ing-room. and we hope the Y. M. G.
A. will provide 1T. We feel sure
that our citizens viii give them sub
stantial aid in so philanthropic an
undertaking.
