declaration Of our loyalty to the car

ResolUed, That we, as Republicans
of the State of Nevada, will cast our
votes for those Presidential electors
OF this State, whom we know to be
unreservedly in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver equally
with gold, and who will cast the cleo
toral vote Of the State of Nevada for
no one, who does not favor the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to l. And We therefore
recommend the voters Of this county
to cast their. ballots for the silver
electoral ticket, nominated at Reno,
June 24th, 1892.
ResolUed, That, while we endorse
the administration of President Har-
rison for its able foreign policy, and
general wise administration Of offairs,

therefore to the interest and general
welfare OF Nevada, and all laboring
men throughout the United States.

the energetic work Of our Senators
and Representatives on behalf of the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver
and appreciate The services Of Francis

necessity of having an able. aggressive

this State, and consider this, next to
the free coinage of silver and irrigae
ton, the paramount issue before the
people of Nevada to-day.
RESOLVED, That we regret that tn

WHY THEY TWINKLE.

When Eve had led her lord away.
And Cain had killed his brother.
The stars and flowers, the poets say.
Agreed with one another
10 cheat the cunning tempter-s art
And teach the race its duty,
BY keeping on its wicked heart
Their eyes of light and beauty.
A million sleepless lids, they say,
VIII be at least a warning;
And SO the flowers would watch by day,
The stars from eve to morning.
On hill and prairie, field and lawn,
Their dewy eyes upturning,
The flowers still watch from reddening
dawn
Till western skies are burning.
Alas! each hour of daylight tells
A tale CT shame crushing
That some turn white as sea bleached shells
And some are always blushing.
But when the patient stars look down
On all their light discovers
The traitors smile, the murderer's frown,
The lips of lying lovers
They try to shut their saddening eyes,
And in the vain endeavor
We see them twinkling in the skies,
And SO they wink forever.

Brutes at Play.
From the WaUerlev Magazine.

In animals the faculty OF amusement
awekes very early. Our 4-footed friends
seam to be aware of this and make it a part
of their parental duties to amuss their
young A ferret will play with her kittens,
a cat with hers, dog with her puppies. A
mare will play with her foal, though the
writer from whom we quote has never seen
a COW try TO amuse her calf, ner any birds
their young. II their mothers do not amuse
them the young ones invent games of their
own. A flock OF ewes and lambs was once
observed In adjoining fields, separated by a
fence with several gaps in it. Follow my
loader was the game most in favor with
this flock, the biggest lamb leading round
the field aud then jumping the gap, with all
the others following III single file; any lamb
that took the leap unusually well would
give two or three more enthusiastic jumps
out of sheer exuberant happiness when it
reached the other side.
Fawns play a sort OF cross touch from one
side to the other, the touch" IA each case
being by the nose. Little pigs are also
great at combined play, which generally
takes the form OF races. Emulation seems
to form part OF their amusement, for their
races seem always to have the winning of
the first place for their object and are
quite different from those combined rushes
for food or causeless stampedes in which
little pigs are wont to indulge. Racing is
an amusement natural TO some animals =,
and being soon taught by others, becomes
one of their most exciting pastimes. Many
horse and all racing dogs learn to be AS
keen at winning as sch 0olboys Birds de-
light in the free and faDciful use OF their
wings. There is all the difference possible
between the flight Of birds for business or
pleasure; and many kinds on fine DAYS will
soar to vast Nights for pleasure alone.

always found in the company Of his COM
rades. On Sundays and holidays he took
long walks or drives, made visits or attended
the theater. When he went to a theatrical
performance he usually invited us brother
or some other pupil to accompany him.
Y nth the beginning OF the collegiate year
lSSl-'92 he was accompanied whenever he
left the TheresIanum by project or other
official or the institution. But after COM
ing Of age, in July, 1891, his father gave
him permission TO 20 about alone, a privi-
lege OF which the prince seldom took ad-
vantage. During the vacation, lasting
through July, August aud September, his
highness, accompanied by number OF at
tendants, visited the various countries and
courts Of Europe.
The responsible duty Of directing the
studies of the prince we're made compare
lively easy by his mind, character and dis
position. While still in his native land he
had been deeply impressed by the most an
clent civilization In the world, the beauties
of nature and the habits and customs of the
Orient. But great events had also lnfiu-
enced his character. The calamities Of the
revolt of Arab Pasha against the rights Of
the princes father, the terrible street fights
in his native Alexandria, Of which he was
an eyewitness, the dangers in which he
himself was often placed, early developed
and rounded out his character. The deep
sense Of law and order which be showed in
ANAL as well as in great things during his
entire course at the academy, and the deep
appreciation of the high duty OF his calling,
lightened greatly the duty or his in
structors
Thus, adds the report, as on the night of
Jan. z, 1892. the news Of the sudden death
of Tewkik Pashs reached Thereslanum,
calling Crown Prince Abbas Hilmi Pasha
to the Egyptian throne his teachers could
say with joy and satisfaction that he was
filled with adeep love Of his country, was
gifted with talents aud heart, was III the
possession OF knowledge, and would be
guided by feeling of duty and justice in
confront him. The best proof Of the ripe
ness Of his character was given by the
prince himself, when he said to his tutor:

TOO MUCH RAIN FOR CROPS.
Cotton and Tobacco Ba dly Damaged
in Thomas County.

Cotton and Tobacco Ba dly Damaged
in Thomas County.
TOWNSVILLE, GA, Aug. 19.-The con-
tinued heavy rains in this section for the
last forty days have not only raised the
creeks and rivers to the swimming mark,
washed roads badly aud demolished bridges,
but they have wrought very heavy damage
20 the cotton aud tobacco crops. The NEWS
correspondent interviewed number of
Farmers and tobacco planters to-day as to
the loss.
N. r. NJ. Heeth said he had fortunately
planted no cotton, but that his neighbors
would lose about half their crop. The hollis
were small ana hard and would not open.
George Heard said the boil worms were
playing havoc with his cotton.
w. D. Peacock said his land was wet and
Doggy. He had not gone into his cotton for
weeks, but be knew IL was badly hurt. The
boil worms were in it and the leaves and
fruit were rotting.
J. L. Farrer has just returned from the
lower part OF the county, and he was sure
that the cotton crop down there was ruined
by the boil worms and the rot.
s. A. Roddenbery, Jr., nominee for the
House. had travelled over the whole county
and he knew the cotton crop would be very
short. Over the river, he thought, half
crop might be made. Corn, he said, was
safe
E. R. Pringle had gathered most Of his
tobacco, as had most growers, but he feared
damage in the drying barns He was going
20 use artificial heat If the rains continued
lie has an experienced tobacco curer and
hopes to come out all right, bur thinks the
inexperienced planters will suffer severely.
A. Patten has all his tobacco crop in the
barns and also has an experienced man in
charge OF 1t. His tobacco was early and
about cured, but in his judgment all late
paintings will scarcely make half crop.
Planters feel blue over the prospects.
