THE SHERlFF'S FIGHT.
James McNab Will Leave His Com
petitors Far Behind.

James McNab Will Leave His Com
petitors Far Behind.
James McNab. the well-known dray-
man and Non-P Partisan nominee for
Sheriff, is one man whom the political
bosses had no use for in making up the
slate ticket, and it was for that reason, in
addition TO the knowledge of his character
and standing in the community where he
has resided so long. that the Nou-Fartisan
convention rendered him the nomination
for Sheriff, knowing the strength which
his name would add to the ticket that
threatens to sweep the boss-made tickets
completely out of sight at tue coming
election. In the prime of life and with an
uDblemiShed reputation for honesty,
activity and general uprightness Mr.. Nc
Nab makes an IDEAL candidate. Not only
is he popular in the business community,
among the leading houses, but among the
workingmeD, machinIsts and mechanics.
Ever since his nomination Mr. McNao' >
friends have been rallying to his support
by the thousand, and the decided anti
boss platform upon which he stands is
Just in accord with Mr.. McNab's known
sentiments in regard 10 the Derniciousness
of boss rule. His spirit of independence
is also double assurance that the affairs OF
the Sher ifs office would be conducted by
Mr. McNab in a busness-like manner that
it has never known in the years gone by
He has peen in business here for twenty
years. He is native OF Scotland. and
has been president Of ST. Andrews Society
for several terms. He is also actively in
terested IN the Caledonia and Thistle
clubs. As a Mason be is life member OF
Mount Molian Lodge, F. and a. NJ, and
belongs To the Grand Cnnsistory. The
firm of McNab & Smith has been in eX-
istence seventeen years. Their business
is the handling OF heavy merchandise anO
all branches of commercial drawing. AS
a sign of Mr.. McNab's popularity among
the teamsters hardly truck OF dray can
be seen down town that does not have a
banner out bearing his name. AS an anti
boss and NOn-Partisan. popular citizen
and a level-beaded business man whose
reputation will be a guarantee of his con-
ducting the affairs of his Office in a highly
satisfactory manner, Mr.. McNab can
hardly fail in being elected Sheriff at the
next election with a rousing majority tC

the only way TO do this is to carry out
ideas for themselves. The center of this
piece of work, which Will be seen in the

the stitches needed for its execution.
The stem itself is worked in two
different ways. a thicker, closer stitch
being placed near the lower part of the de-
sign, the broad spaces between the outlines
being filled with two sides of satin stitch,

A well known Santa Rosa horseman
has scheme for trotting horses which
promises to beat the ''scoot" track all to
horse to obtain a fast record. He is
planning a sulky that will not only run
itself, but will push the horse along a
bit too. He says it is to be built on the
plan of the watch. 1t will have big coil
springs to drive the wheels and he con-
tends that it will revolutionize trotting.
Right under the drivers seat the springs
will be located, and it is his intention to
have things so nicely adjusted that
when he wishes to go 2:10 gait all he
will have to do is to set it at the 2:10
figure and it will do the rest. When
wound up the sulky will run one mile
and half. A very clever feature of
the sulky is the self winding apparatus.
By simply touching little spring near
his stirrup the driver can make the
wheels wind up the spring, and, by a
hand device, he can throw them out
of gear when the indicator tells him
that the spring has been wound up to
the proper tension. Thus in scoring
whatever power is lost can be regained.
And it is so arranged that the power can
be turned on at will by the driver. The
gentleman claims everything for this in
vention. He says it will transform the
slowest scrub into world beater and
make three minute horse able to go a
2:OSL record. The inventor apparently
had nothing green in his eyes when he
was talking about his wonderful sulky,
but time and developments will tell
whether he has been indulging in too
many air castles or not.-Santa Rosa Re-
publican.

The Salt In the Sea.

The amount of common salt in all the
oceans is estimated by Schafhautt at
3,O51, 342 cubic geographical miles, or
about five times more than the mass of
the Alps, and only one-third less than
that OF the Himalayas. The sulphate
of soda equals 633, ,644.36 cubic miles,
or is equal to the mass of the Alps. The
chloride Of magnesium, All, ,S11.S0 Gu
bic miles. The lime salts 109, 339. A
cubic miles. He supposes the mean
depth to be about 300 meters, as esti-
mated by Humboldt. Admitting with
Laplace that the mean depth is from
four to five miles, which is more prob
able, the mass of marine salt will be
more than double the mass of the Hima-
layas. The weight of water in the oceans
equals 2,494, 500, 900. 900, 900 of tons,
and the percentage of common salt in
the oceans is 81. Therefore, the amount
of common salt in all the oceans taken
together is about 673, 515, 900, 900, 600
of tons. Were all the salts of the oceans
precipitated and spread out equally over
the land they would, it has been COM
puted, cover the ground one mile deep
over an area of 1000, 900 square miles.

She Purchases Dashing Carriage to Re-

If there ever was lucky cabby, it is
Richard MCGOWAN, who for 16 years
has stood beside his cab at the Staten Is
land ferry at Whitehall street gather
ing passengers and fares. He and the
cab had stood there in all sorts of wealth
er, but the cab suffered more than the
man in appearance.
Whenever McGowan saw an old lady
with white hair and benignant face
come from the ferryhouse, he knew that
he would have a fare She didn't appear
very often, but she always sought out
MCGOWAN, handing him bill in pay
ment and refusing to take the change.
A couple of months ago she told him his
cab was getting old and rusty and he
should have better one. The cabman
replied that it would cost 5000, and he
could not afford so much money. One
day the white haired woman told him to
drive her to carriage manufactory.
They made several trips of that kind.
Then the lady, who is Mrs. Frances j.
Shaw, the philanthropist, told the as
tonished MCGOWAN that she was looking
for carriage for him, but could not
find one that was suitable, and that he
had better buy it for himself. 1t took
him whole month to find what he want

HAWTHORNE, ESMERALDA COUNTY, NEVADA, JUNE 6, 1884,
LUST AND LOVE.

We left the swart bank of the sluggish Nile,
Where fleets of traffic block its gaping
mouth,
And over many tedious inland mile
We journeyed toward the south.
AT last we came beside a stony pile
That reared its head above the drifted
sand,
Looking across the ages with a smile
could not understand.
Igazed upon that sight a weary while,
A woman's head, with body of a beast,
And vainly tried the twain to reconcile,
Until the night had ceased.
We floated back by lotus lake and isle,
And watched the ibis take his MONDAY
rest
Beside the scaly suggard crocodile,
Our riddle still unguessed.
But 10, the storms of lust at times deflle
My body couchant where the sandbeds
drift;
And yet above the vicious and the vile
A skyward face lift.
The lions body Of o bestial guile,
The human face that loves, believes and
thinks,
Unlock the puzzle of the quaint old style
That built the symbol Sphinx.

Tired of His Talk.

posing counsel:

tleman. How old are you?
Miss Jane-Weel-a-weel, l am fifty.
Counsel-Are you not more?
Miss Jane-Weel, l am sixty.
The inquisitive lawyer still further
asked if she had any hopes of getting
married, to which Miss Jane replied:

New Coast Lights.

Additional tests made with the new
form of coast light devised by Schirm,
of Berlin, have proved quite satisfac-
tory. The trials, which were made on
the coast near the mouth Of the Elbe,
show the light to be brighter than either
gas or electricity, while the costof oper-
ating is said to be very small. The ap-
paratus, with all its accessories, is barely
seven feet in height and three feet in di-
ameter, and consists Of blast engine
for driving air through pumice stone
impregnated with benzine. The benzine
gas thus obtained is carried through fine
magnesium powder, and being saturated

candle power. The apparatus is con-
trolled by clockwork, and is inclosed in
glass to protect it from the wind and
weather. The arrangement is especially
adapted for giving an intermittent light,
the consumption Of magnesium being
small, depending on the power Of the
light which may be required in any
given case. An important advantage is
also claimed for this apparatus, namely,
that it can be used without condensers,
fog arrangements or redectors, although
the use of lenses further strengthens the
power Of the ight.-Berlin Letter.

Lovers of literature will be interested
In the recent discovery in small house
Of the buried city of Pompeii of two me-
dallions representing respectively Hor-
ace and Virgil. The death of Horace
occurred eight years before the Chris
tian era and that of Virgil ten years
earlier, while the date of the destruc-
ton of Pompeii by the eruption of Vesu-
vius is A. d. 10.
Hence the portraits are not contem-
porary, though they cannot be placed
very long after the age of the poets.
But although they are in that respect
only fancy portraits, M. CASTOR Bois-
sier has pointed out to the French Acad-
emie des Inscriptions that they have a
distinct resemblance to the miniatures
of Horace and Virgil given in the manu-
scripts of the Twelfth and Thirteenth
centuries.
The Pompeiian medallions are only Of
very mediocre character when regard
ed solely from an artistic standpoint
This very fact strengthens the idea of a
continuous artistic tradition as to the
bodily presentment of the two poets.
The Pompeiian artist and the monastic
scribe could have had no direct connec-
ton, but they may easily have derived
their figures from a common source.
Another point Of interest is to see the
popular criticism within less than a
century after their death, linking to-
gether Horace and Virgil. How endur-
ing their fame is may be realized if we
remember that now, after the lapse Of
nineteen centuries, they have more
readers and admirers than at any pre-
ceding period. 1t is to be feared that
few of the literary regulations of modern
ages will withstand so successfully "the
