Boston's taxable real estate is val
ued at s65O,OOO,OOO gain of $685..
100000 within the past twelve
months, and the amount of personal
property unearthed is more than
S2OO,OO0,00O. OF course this is no,
where the actual worth of Boston's
personal estate, but the assessors
couldn't find any more than that for
the purposes of taxation. The taxpay-
er cuts that the greatest figure on the
assessors books is, as usual, the Bos-
ton and Albany railroad, which con-
tributes SIP, 400 toward the support
of the.city and state governments.
The only other bill that runs into the
hundreds or thousands is addressed to
Chas. A. Getting, ct al, trustees,
and it amounts to $lO4,954.

Not Dead.

Give US the free coinage Of silver
and a competing railroad, and the
State OF Nevada will soon treble it
population. Our valleys would be
filled with happy homes and every ln-
dustry followed by her people would
thrill with new energy as they felt the
life giving current. She is not dead
but only waits until the great wrong
of 1873 is righted, to leap forward in
all the glory of her strength al one of
this sisterhood of States.

Carson silver Club.

Following are the preamble and
resolutions adopted Wednesday night
by the Carson Silver Club:
WHEREAS: By the snrreptitious
DEMONSTRATION VI siIver in 1873, not
only were the people OF the silver
producing States crippled in their
chief industry, but the laboring and
producing classes Of the United
States were placed at the mercy OF
Insurers in New York and bond hold
ers in London who now fatten at the
expense of our toa and dictate the
financial policy Of a government,
which he's since re~pudiated the obi
cations under which it was placed,
when during the war ofthe Rebellion
the State OF Nevada was born that
the American Union might live.
REsoLvEo: That We, the citizens
aod taxpayers OF Ormsby county
band ourselves together to fight for
the commonwealth of our State and
the remonetization Of silver by every
honorable means ip our powof SO that
a government described by AbrHhaSh
Lincoln as of the people, by the peo-
pie and for the people, shah not per-
ish from the earth.'"
REsoLvED: That we regard the
action of the members OF Congress
who pledged themselves last Fall for
free silver and who subsequently
voted against the Bland Bill, as indi-
eating more than any other argument
yet advanced by them, the great pur-
chasing power 81 the gold dollar.
RESOLVED: Tnat the members OF
this Organization, irrespective of party,
decline to support any candidate who
will not pledge himself uneqnivocally
Tor the free coinage Of silver.
RESOLVED: That resolutions be
forwarded by this club to the Repub-
lican and Democratic State Conven-
tions demanding that a plank proyid-
ing for the free and unlimited coinage
Of oliver be inserted 10 each OF the
State and National platforms and that
each candidate be- pledged uneQuivo-
cally to its support.
REsoLvED: That the thanks OF the
club be rendered TO all members of
Congress who have iabored in behalf
of the white metal.

They came in sight of a lovely shore,
Yellow as gold in the morning light;
The suns own color at nooI it wore,
And had faded not at the fall of night :,
Clear weather or cloudy-'twas all as one,
The happy hills seemed bathed with the
sun
Its secret the sailors could not understand.
But they called it the county of Sunshine
Land.
What was the sccret' A simple thing
1t will make You smile when once you
know
Touched by tender finger of Spring,
A million blossoms were all aglow
So many, so many, so small and bright,
They covered the hills with mantle of
light,
And the wild bee hummed, and the glad
breeze famed,
Through the honeyed fields of Smushiue
Land.
il over the sea we two are bound,
What port. dear child, would we choose
for ours
We would sail and sail till at last we
found
The fairy gold ola million flowers,
Yet, darling, we'd find, if at home we
stayed,
Ofmany small joys our pleasures are
made,
More than we think-vcry close at hand,
Lie the golden fields Of Sunshine Land.

bard, of COLCHESTER, is in Jail here
for contempt OF court, in refusing
to testify on Saturday in case
brought by his father againt an.
other man. When called 10 the
stand he said: Judge, it's no use
TO swear me; I will not testify.
To-day is my Sabbath day, and,
although know the Bible says !:
obey those in authority over YOU
Peter says: Obey God rather than
man. and, as this is my Sunday,
l refuse 10 be sworn"
"Well," said the judge, 81 have
been on the bench "a years, and l
never had a case Of this kind, and,
however true your quotation OF
Peter may be, the law says that
we shall observe but one day as
the Sabbath, and that is the day
commonly called Sunday, and, sir,
you mnst either testify or 20 to
jail"

A HEROINE OF The PRAIRIE.
lObe-Deinocrat,

Globe-Democrat,
One of the feminine frontier
characters who was famous from
!he Rocky Mountains 10 the Mis-.
souri, River was known by the sim.
pie name of Belle" Where she
came from no one krew. About
1870 she appeared at a cattle ship
ping station in Central Kansa,
alone, and was at once prominent
figure. She wore a buckskin dress,
with heavy diamonds in her ears.
Her dark hair and yoluplu uous form
made her hosts of admirers, and
she could have been the belle of
the place. But she held the men
aloof and taught them to keep
their distance, Only one man did
she favor--the hotel keeper. With
him she had long conferences, and
together they made long rounds
of The saloons, she entering the vii
est dens with naughty step and ut.
ierly Obllvious TO The inmates,
looking always from face 10 face
as II for a missing one. 1t began
TO be whispered that she was
searching for a recreant lover. and
that she could not find him.
BELLIES REVENGE.
She was often in the saloons
when quarrels occurred, but she
never tlinched, no matter how
thick and fast the bullets flew.
When the great herds came in
over the prairies she met them,
mounted on a wiry pony, and a
laSso slung at her side. Finally
her time came. An unusually
large herd was being driven up
from Texas, and its coming was
heralded by advance couriers.
Belle rode out 10 meet it as ufual,
and took her station on the crest
Of little knoll overlooking the
cattle trail for miles, As the long
line of cattle approached she scan.
ned each wide hated cowboy, and
at length her eyes glistened and a
flush came into her cheeks that
had never been seen there before.
Riding forward, she dashed like
an avenging Nemesis upon a hand.
some herder, whose long mustache
swept his cheeks. He turned as if
TO fly, then stopped. The other
herders could catch but a few
words of the conversation.
"Belle," cried the man, "is it
you?"
"Yes, and l mean revenge" said
she, drawing a revolver.
There was sharp, ringing re.
port, and the herder dropped from
his saddle.
The girl was never molested and
took the train Tor the East few
days after. Before she went she
cleared up the mystery. The COW.
boy had killed hor brother in Ten.
nessess and she had taken revenge
into her own hands.

How THE HILL Boon DIED.-The
Louisville CoWier.Jounal, by way
of apostrophe, has this to say of a
Presidential boom that has passed
out upon the great unknown:
"Even to the least discerning of
the spectators it was apparent that
its last days had come, and intent
ly they watched its passage into
the great unknown. Its form
withered and contracted. The
head sank forward on the limp
and nerveless neck. The yellow
skin formed into masses of wrin-
kles, and ruslled like paper as the
wind blew over it. The heavy
lids quivered and closed over the
sightless eyes, and the cheeks sank
like those of the dead. There were
one or Two faint motions OF the
hands, but at length they We're
still. The breathing died away,
and soon ceased altogether. The
figure grew lighter and trembled
in the breeze. At length 1t began
to dissolve and melted into Thin
air, like dream. The watchers
thought that they saw something
resembling smoke or mist form
itself into The shape Of barrel,
but in a moment IT, too, was gone
and The sun shone again, and the
breeze blew, as OF old, and acr9s
the field the birds were singing
among the trees" -

"A story told 10 many Of us dur,
ing he campaign referred to, by
one of The Oldest of the Com.
anches, the oldest Indian have
ever seen, 'L,t'le Beaver" of the
Osases, is very interesting, show,
ing TO " hat an art the despised
savage of thirty years ago reduced

warrior pretaced his tale by stat.
ing that he was so aged, shat he
was brother to The highest peak OF
the Wichita Mountains at the
foot of which We were camped on
a cold December night in 1868.
Here is the story:
So many years ago that il seems
like dream even 10 the narrator,
The Comanches were the greatest
tribe on earth. Their warriors
were as numerous as a herd of
buffalo on the Arkansas in the fall.
They were more cunning than the
coyote. Their herd of ponies con.
tained so many animals-all fine
and lat-that no man could count
them in a year. All the other In.
dians of the plains and mountains
feared and trembled at the name
OF Comanche.
In the tribe, as is ever the case,
there were two warriors who eX-
celled all The others in their prov
esS. One was young and he other
middle-aged. They were very
Jealous of each other, each con
stantly attempting some deed of
daring at which, it was hoped, the
rival would halk. One fall, when
the Indian summer made the air
redolent with the sweet perfume
of thousands of flowers and The
mountains we're bathed in the am.
ber mist OF that delicious season,
all the great warriors were return
ing from one Of their most famous
victories.
They camped under the shadow
of Medicine Bluff late one after
noon, where the young brave, who
was quietly smoking his pipe as he
hovered over the little campfire
on which he was boiling a piece Of
antelope steak, happened to fix
his gaze on the highest point of the
bluff, and in that position continu.
ed several minutes wrapped IN a
most profound study, while the
rest of The band stopped whatever
they were doing and gazed at him
as inlently.
Suddenly he arose to his full
height, and casting defiant look
upon The warriors scattered around
on The grass, who, excited by his
strange manner, sprane upto learn
what he meant. Preasantly he
turned his face toward the sun,
which was about two hours high,
and broke out with this boast:
mo warrior equals me! l am
the greatest OF all the Comanches |!
| resemble that mountaln!" point
ing with his spear 10 the highest
peak Of Medicine Bluff. "My
actions are as far above yours as
that mountain is above the stream
at its foot! Is there warrior
here who dare follow mep
Then he shook his spear and
brandished his shield in defiance

the time swelling with rage and
pride. lie knew the boast was in.
