Tlo Consoience Tnnd.

Every little while conscience stricken
individuals refund to the treasury de-
partment certain sums Of money con-
fessed to have been i'll gotten from the
government in various ways. 1t is as
tonishing that Notwithstanding the thou
sands of dollars that have been sent to
the treasury on this account no special
record has been taken of them; that there
is never proof to those who have thus
Squared themselves" that the money
ever reached the proper disposition.
Treasury officials now recognize this
dereliction and separate accounts will be
kept in future, if for no other purpose
than to enable public officials to vindi-
cate themselves from anonymous assail-
ants who may impugn their trustworthi-
ness.-National Tribune.

The ancient church dedicated to the
pious memory Of ST. Helena, who, ira
dition saith, went to Jerusalem, my
happy home" and found the true cross at
Holland, is comfortable hours walk
from Bodmin town. The rector, good
sort [of fellow, had touch of the
rheumatism awhile since and was rec
commended the waters at Bath. So there
he went. But Saturday came round,
and no supply" for Sundays pulpit
could be found.
AT the last moment, however, and aft
or the rector had been wired to return,
worthy cleric named Smith, who had
come to Bodmin as witness in an as
size case, volunteered his services as
locum tenens. So another telegram was
dispatched in haste to Bath to stay the
invalid from coming back. 1t was hand
ed in at the Bodmin Office and read thus:
"Smith has gone to Holland. You
stop where you are"
When the messenger boy handed the
orange enveloped epistle to his reverence
at the other end, the latter tore it open
and read with astonishment
"Smith has gone to He'll and you stop

Tho Worlds ParlIaments.

The British parliament compares IA
vorably in size with those of other ma
lions. With 670 members in the house
of commons and over 553 in the upper
house, it is far and away the largest in
the world. France comes nearest with
5S4 in the chamber Of deputies and 800
in the senate. Spain comes next with
431 in congress and 1851 in the cortes.
Then comes the Austrian reichsrath

things had gathered in my wagon, for
could not bear to throw them away and
thought every morning that maybe the
little maid would come out. | thought
once of piling them up around the milk
can and leaving them for her to find,
but was afraid some one else might
come and find them first.
So it went on till one morning just as
I had filed the can and was going down
the path the kitchen door was thrown
open with bang, and the little maid
rushed out, Mrs. Barwell hard after her
with some heavy thing in her hand,
lifted up high to throw at the girl.
Quick as flash I caught the little maid
in my arms, and put her into my cart,
and jumped in after her, and drove off
faster than 1 ever drove before in my
life, Mrs. Barwell running after us
down the street. But she soon gave up
the chase.
Down the lane we dashed, under the
low hanging branches of the pepper
trees, that touched me softly in the face
as we passed. The breeze blew softly
over us, laden with the fragrance that
drifted from the rose trees that bloom
perennially in the dooryards along the
way.
Presently the little maid looked up at
me with face SO rosy that should not
have known her had met her anywhere
else. There was look, half frightened,
half eonfiding, in her eyes, and as | met
that look | knew all of sudden why it
was that had missed her so, and why
had wondered so much about her eyes
and her face.
bent over her and shouted: "Will
you marry mel" for the horse was gall
Looping, and the wheels were crunching,
and the cans were rafting, and if had
whispered the question as men in stories
and poetry do she would never have
heard me. And when she slipped her
hand into mine and looked at me with
the fear gone out of her wide eyes and
only the confidence left l thought it just
as well as if / had done it according to
all the rules of propriety.
| There was chum of mine lived along
| the way that had just been made a JUS
tice of the peace, and / whipped up to
| the gate and lifted the little maid out
and almost carried her into the house.
"How long will it take you to marry
us, If you go at top speed?" asked my
astonished friend. He did not answer
me, but went to work in his liveliest
style, and by the time Mrs. Barwell rat
tied up in her old chaise the little maid
had passed away from her care forever.

THE DISPERSION OF MANKIND.

Stately on Shinar's ancient plain
Uprose mighty thought in stone.
The thinkers scoffed in pure disdain
OF forces mightier than their own.
Full many moon had waxed and waned,
Full many a brain and hand had striven
To pile tower, which, unrestrained
BY bound or bar, should smite the heaven.
Then came the injured Godhead down
And cursed them with an alien speech,
And from the thunder of his frown
Affair they wandered, each from each.
But in the curse blessing lurked,
From baffled language nations grew,
And thus the wrath of heaven hath worked
The purpose of its mercy too.

Grand Jury Report.

ELKo, ELKo COUNTY, NEVADA.
To the Hon Geo. F.. Talbot, Dis
trict Judge in and for the State
of Nevada.
We your Grand Jury empanneled
on tho Goth day of Nov. 1893 report
as follows:
I There has been presented for our
consideration one case for burglary,
one for arson, o for felony and one
for swindling. The first two We have
ignored and for the last two, We find
true bills.
The committee appointed to ex-
anime the officers of Commissioner,
Dist. Atty. and Clerk report: 1--WE
have made a partial examination of
said officers and find matters and
books correct as far as we have ex-
amiued,"
The Committee appointed to ex-
anime the Office OF the assessor re
port: 1--WE upon close inspection and
careful inquiry in our limited time,
find the same to be correct and the
County faithfully assessed. We find
the AssessmenL'roli only about $40
600 less than 1892. which in our opin-
ion Is a very creditable showing tax
ing into consideration the shrinkage
Of values in the county in general
and some localities III particular. We
find the poll taxes collected about
go under last year, which is account.
ed toI by the almost total stoppage
Of the mines at Tuecarora and the
changes in the Railroad Divisions,
wherein the present transportation
forces between Carlin and Ogden are
residents OF Utah. and when before
the divisions terminated ut Wells,
they paid said Poll taxes in this Coun-
ty. In u estimate Of the total as
sessmsnt roll, we do not take into
consideration the figures after the
raise by the Board OF State Equaliza-
ton in 1892, which makes the total a
higher figure than they would be un-
der the present mode OF Assessor ent."
The Committee on County Record
err report: "They examined the books
and Office as far as they could, and
find comment unnecessary except as
regarding a number Of instruments
not on record. They find none of
them Of earlier date than Oct. 1893
and they are in part accounted for
by Il large lot (some 80 or 100 land
patents and deeds) having come in at
one time, extra work on the part Of
the County and State has also de-
layed that officer somewhat"
The Treasurer reports to your Com
mittee the amour OF the net BALANCE
available for County purposes
(schools excluded) as follows: On
Nov. l. 1890, s6375, on Nov. /, 1871,
s7722; On Nov. ], 1892, S14s5O; and
on Nov. l, 1893, s228a1. This shows
q gradual accumulation of money IN
the County Treasury for the past 4
years.
Our expenditures since Jan. l, 1888
for current expenses am punt to @
little over S275OO. Estimating them
TOR the remaining portion OF the year
at $4,000, we would have about $4,000
Tor the twelve months.
The balance of money on hand on
Nov. lat added to the $4,000 to be
collected oy the Treasurer, together
with amounts received from licenses
and other sources, seems larger thar
we really need and it is suggestive tt
the proper officers, that a suallel
amount might, with wisdom be pro
Wded for the following year by ir
some way reducing the burden o.
taxation. go far as we can see, tn,
books Of this officer are correct.
