The Tomato or Love Apple.

1t is now three hundred wears since
"the love apple was introduced into
England; but il was not till beteeen
1910 and 1915 that it came into COM
mon use as n vegetable. The dem
onstrasion of its usefulness and its
value was made in Italy; by whom
and in what manner we are not in
formed. The French and English peo-
pie speedily adopted its use, but in
this country the greatest strides were
made; the new candidate for popular
favor being easy of cultivation, mex
penSive, and prolific, finding in the
soil of most Of the American states a
cougeWial home, and the conditions for
favorable development
tbs said in this connection that The
late Henry Ward Beechcr was one of
the early champions of the tomato in
the United States, and that it was
largely through his influence that il
became popular in New York and
vicinity; which was, OF course, suf-
iicent guaranty for its national cultiva-
tiOn and use. Yet the old notions are
tenacious In their hold upon the popu-
lar mind; and it is doubtful if halt a
century Of universal use has quite re-
moved the lurking suspicion in many
quarters that there may be, after all,
some occult toxic quality in the rutoGs
globe. to which millions of persons are
unwIttiugiy subjecting themselves day
by day. Ii was but few years ago
that the pretended discovery was
made, and widely circulated through
The press. that the use of tomatoes
was productive Of cancerous affections,
and the people were warmed against
exposing themselves to the danger.
But 10 point Of fact, it has been
shown to the satisfaction Of all think
ing men and women that the tomato is
one OF the most heathtul products Of
the vegetable world. 1t is decidedly
helpful in eases OF hillary disturbance,
aud It's timely use often saves the
necessity Tor medical course AZ
The same time. it is SO easily canned.
and the article thus preserved so per-
fectIy retains its qualities, that it is at
naud aI the year round, at a trilliug
cost, for use in thousand ways. y

SENATE BILL NO. 81.

Senate Bill No. 81, introduced by
Mr.. Williams, fixes tho salaries OF the
officers of Elko county as follows:
On and after the first Monday in
January, 1895, The Sheriff shall re-
ceive S2,4OO per annum in full for all
services rendered, and shall pay into
tho treasury, each month, all moneys
collected by him as fees. The Deputy
Sheriff shall receive 81 200 per annum
and shall act as Jailer without fur
Their compensation.
On and after the first Monday in
January, 1895. the County Recorder
shall receive $500 per annum in full
for all services rendered and shall pay
into the county treasury zach month,
all moneys collected by him.
The County Clerk shall be ex-officio
Treasurer an shall receive the sum
of 81 300 per annum and shall pay
into the county treasury, each month,
all moneys collected by him.
The County Assessor shall receive
S2,0tD per annum in full for all ser
vices rendered by him or his duputies.
The District Attorney shall receive
$500 per year and shall act as Coun-
ty superintendent of Schools with
out further compensation.
The County Commissioners shall
receive $500 per nnnun' and the mile
age now allowed by law.
The bill consolidates the Office Of
Treasurer with the Office of County
Clerk and provides that no allowance
shall be made by the County Com
missioners for the compensation Of
any deput. or deputies not expressly
mentioned in the Act.
Under the salaries fixed in this bill
it will cost the taxpayers OF Elko
county the sum of 5000 for salaries
as against Sl2,4O0 under the present
law or q reduction of $1,000 year in
the item of salaries.
The INDEPENDENT does not believe
that the bill, in it's present shape.
should becoUe a law. The salaries of
the Sheriff and his deputy are too
low. The Offices of Assessor and
Sheriff should be consolidated and
tho salary Of the Sheriff raised to
$500, and that Of his deputy left as
it ia now The Sheriff should be al
lowed IN extra deputy for three
months, during the time of assessing
at II salary of $125 per month. This
would effect greater. saving to the
taxpayers and would not interfere
with the efficiency Of the Sheriff.

Necessary.

A clergyman who was settled some years ago in a southern town, was in great favor with the colored brethren, and was frequently called upon to ''sit in council" with the members of one of their churches in neighboring town Among these members was one old darkey, with grizzled hair, who had in high degree the gift for responses" so much cultivated by the people of his color. He was always ready with "Amen!" and more than ready with "Gloryr' but his particular fondness was for the fervent ejaculation: "Ds Lord glib us more faith.' On one occn- sion when the clergyman in question had been called upon to discourse to this congregation, he illustrated his practical talk" with the story of an occurrence which he himself had wit messed not long before. As he finished it, he said, earnestly: "Now, my brethren, you would hardly believe, would you, that any man could have witnessed such scene as that almos. at your very doors?" As he paused, there came a tremendous groan from the old darky, and with great fervor he ejaculated; "De Lord gib us more faith. Youths Companion.

 Private John Allen, of Mississ ippi, had case in the supreme court the other day, says a Washington core spondent of the Louisville Courier Journal It had been dragging along for good while in the lower tribunals and when it was reached in the higher body the opposing counsel presented a brief history of the cause so far as it had gone. The justices had listened attentively to the lawyer, and when he had finished Mir. Allen was asked if the opposing counsel had stated what was strictly true.
 If your honors please" said the astute Mississippian, II can best an swer the question with a little story. Some time ago a sheriff of one of the counties in my state died. There was another gentleman residing in the county who thought he could fill the official shoes of the deceased to Q nicety, so he proceeded to draw up a recommendation in his own behalf for appointment to the vacancy and then secured his neighbcrs' signatures to it. He recited in the document his numer- ous qualifications for the position, and stated. among other things, that Mir. Jones was strictly honest He carried the paper to old Judge Smith and asked him to sign it.
 ''The judge put on his specs and care fully read the paper over. Then he coughed and said:
 "'Jones, I'll sign this here recommen- dation if you'll let me change one word in it.
 Jones glowed with satisfaction, for the judge's signature was a power in the premises
 '' 'Cert'ny, jndge. cert'Ry,' he cordial ly remarked. One word can't hurt the paper. Now, what word would you like to change, sir?'
 Well replied the judge, I just want to scratch out the word strictly where it prccedes honest and insert the word 'tolerably.'"
 The grave justices laughed and the case went on-

The old Commodore's Brief But Eloquent
 Epitaph on His Only Son.

The recent death of Rear Admiral Melanchthon Smith. |. S.

It relates to a namesake and relative of the de- ceased. Commodore ]. smith, for many years chief of the bureau of yards and docks.
 The new. of the Merrimac's arrival in Hampton Roads and of her first days fight before she met the Monitor reached Washington on Sunday afternoon. The telegram was brief. but explicit. The rebel ironclad was in complete control of the Roads. Mes sengers were hastily dispatched, sum morning the chiefs of bureaus to council at the navy department. One of these messengers sent in search of Commodore smith found that officer on his way home from church, and he knew that the commodore's only son was first lieutenant of the ill-fated Congress.
 ''Commodre." said the man. there is bad news from Hampton Roads. The Merrlmae has come down from Nor folk. the Minnesota and Roanoke are disabled, the Cumberland sunk, and the Congress is on fire and has sur- rendered"

 Some years ago man entered the Boatmen's savings bank on Second street in St. Louis with somewhat ditiident air, and looked inquiringly about him, as one not quite positive of his bearings. He scrutiniZed the build- ing closely, looked about the interior, and presently found his way to the cashiers desk.
