nowhere can we HOW reproduce the
marvellous architecture or the stained

turtles, and DO town Is so rich IN these
unequalod works Of tie past as The town

by Americans Is best ret forth " the
fact that recently 30 less than 300
Americans visited York IN one single

is not these ancient monuments, but
their surroundings. Throughout Europe,
in London, Paris and elsewhere, me
diHyal cathedrals, town halls and other
buildings still subsist, but they are sur
rounded by framework Of modern
houses and streets. AT York, on the con-
trary, as at Frankfort, Nuremberg and
few other continental towns, the
streets as we'll as the churches recall the
middle ages
York is just the opposite to Hull The
latter town owes its very existence to
its commercial capabilities, while York
never WAS commercial town. Hull is
town which has absolutely nothing to
show, yet it has Il population ef more
than 200, GOO inhabitants, and many Of
its citizens are extremely wealthy. Hull
! fought for the parliament against King
Charles, and Hull was celebrated fer It's
cruelty toward the Catholics. York ON
the contrary fought for the king against
the parliament, and, as Catholics We're
not so cruelty used i'll the York prisons,
they were Sent from York to Hull when
it Was thought desirable to treat them
more harshIy. Many very Xcellent fam

there are very few large fortunes York
is Il town Of poor gentlemen; Hull is a
town of wealthy yulgarians York has
religiously sought to preserve what is
of historical and artistic value; Hull
has ruthlesSly destroyed all thai WIS Of
no immediate business use. These two
towns, so close to each other, constitute
excellent object lessons, illustrating the
two great forces, the two great currents
of opinion, which for several centuries
have struggled against each other. -

DIDN'T KNOW THE ROPES.
An English Editors Experience With an
Adirondack Railroad Train.


Adirondack Railroad Train.
When Mr.. Gust, editor of William
Waldorf Astor's Pail Mall Gazette, was
in New York at the time of the Val
kyrie- Defender finish, foul and fizzle, he
went up to the Adirondacks for some
fishing and shooting. Mr.. Gust travelled
with good deal of luggage, and the
backwoodsmen at Childwold, where he
left Or. Webb s railroad, were inclined
to grin ut the sight of "a man going into
the woods with SO many gripsacks and
bundles. But the Englshman was not
disturbed. He had good time and got
some good game. When he got ready to
come out of the woods, he went back TO
Childwold with all his boxes bags and
portmanteauS. He intended to take the
day train for New York, which WAS due
at Childwold about IL O'Clock. Whtn
the train pulled into the station, Nh
Gust stood Oh the platform with his lug
gage piled up around him. Conductor
Clarke saw him there, but when Mr.
Gust made no motion to board the train
Clarke gave the signal to Pat Cum
minee.. the engineer, TO 80 ahead, and
Pat did, leaving Nh Gust standing on
the platform.
Now it happened that Nh Gust was
the guest of Or. Seward Webb. who
owns the Adirondack railroad When
the train pulled out and left hmm, he
told the station agent who he WAS and
then followed some lively telegraphing
When the tram got TO Horseshoe Pond,
Conductor Clarke got orders trom head

run back up the road was made III lively

Christmas Gifts.

Christmas is close upon US and most
people are wrestling with the problem Of
n proper observance of the day and a
satisfactory distribution of Christmas
gifts. The latter is apt TO have many
porpleXities. There are instances Of
course, where the question of economy
in the purchase of these gifts does not
obtain but the large majority Of people
are obliged to "eut their garment ac-
eording to the cloth or rather. select
their presents for friends with due re-
gard II the cash in hand for this pur-
pose.
To most people this feature of the OH
se1yation of Christmas is an act of real
pleasure and entered into from the best
Of motives. Gifts are expressions Of
sincere respect and love and made to con
fer happiness. That there are exccp
tions to this rule we need not state. II
Is not reasonable TO expect that Christ
mas, even, will make pure and good
he motives of all persons for the briet
ime usually allotted to this annual festi-
val.
rhe selection of holiday presents is
rendered much easier by the elegant
stocks of goods purchased and displayed
hy our merchants. They have not only
purchased them and displayed them in
attractive ways but they have also
tken the trouble to advertise them with
a good degree of elaboration in the RE
PORTER, and we believe they are Will 9
even to give sound advice to purchasers
should they find a lingering uncertainty
after looking over these seasonable and
beautiful goods. Surely these efforts
are worthy Of appreciation aud We
trust they will receive it in large
measure,
Look these advertisements oven
thoroughly, go to the stores and look
the goods over carefully aud if still
undecided invoke the assistant of the
merchant or his obliging statesmen on
salnswomen and prove whether the adj
vice we give in the premises is not re-
liable and opportune.
Prominent among our special adver-
tisers who cater to Christmas trade We
mention Bixby & Buck cat Skowhegar
and Bngham) George Cushing, Geo
Philbrick & Son, w. f. Robbins, W. II
Wides, w. Il. Ordway, ID. f. Judkins,
Ii. w. Cushing, l.. &. Salisbury, X. r.
Patten, Charles Murphy, c. A. Ross
S NTH Whittier, f. W. Allen, Wentworth
Il Oak, NJ. b. Heselton and Bartlett &
Cairns. There are others also who are
well fixed with holiday goods but they
make no special mention of it. In any
event it is hardly necessary for Skowhe
z III people to go out of town for holiday
goods.

WHY WE STAND UPRIGHT.
A Special Complex Mechanism Is Required
For the Purpose.

Hoi the uIpost'
We are so accustomed 10 standing up
right as "a natural attitude that few Of
us think what special complex mech
anism is required for this purpose. A
moments consideration Will show that
the ordinary explanation Of the erect
position (the center of gravity to be di-
rectly above the feet) is insufficient.
When man is suddenly shot whether
from the front or behind, he drops on
his face, for the truth is that there is
much more weight in the front Of the
spinal column than behind it.
The fact is that when we are standing
a large number of powerful muscles
tboth front and back are simultaneous
ly at work, the effects Of their action
being to nputralize each other Thus,
the legs would fall forward We're ii not
that they are kept vertical on the feet
by the strong tendon (the Achilles }
at the back Of the heel. At the same
time the muscles of the thigh are tight
ened SO as to prevent us taking IA sitting
position, and the muscles of the back
are pulled tense so that the trunk does
not stoop forward. The head is prevent
ed from dropping ON the chest by the
ligaments i'll the nape Of the neck.
That the upright is not its normal pc
sition is easily shown by the fact that IA
man mods rs he is falling asleep, for as
soon as the controlling nervous force is
deadened the head drops forward by its
own weight, only to be pulled back into
position again with IA jerk when the
brain becomes suddenly aware If an un-
usual attitude. Scottish American

MINING CONSOLIDATION,
Two More Companies Favor
Working the Brunswick
Lode.
Three Corporations Still to Take
Administrations Meet
ingS Called.

! The work of matchmaking the various
mining companies on the Comstock for the
purpose of purchasing additional ground
and, developing the celebrated Brunswick
| lode is being pushed rapidly forward. The
directors of two companies met yesterday
and took favorable action on the propo-
sition, and called meetings of their stock
holders to consider the matter. A meeting
OF the directors of the Savage mine will be
held tomorrow morning, and those of the
Consolidated California and Virginia and
of the Hale and Norcross will be held OH
Monday.
The proposition briefly stated is that the
allied mines on the Comstock shall Jointly
purchase on the Brunswick lode, mile
east OF the Comstock ledge. territory equal
in area to that now owned by them on the
old localities. To each company then will
be assigned separate territory, occupying
the same relative position as the mines do
on the ComStock.
The Brunswick ledge has always been
considered promising location. 1t is
drained by the Sutro tunnel, and, at the
point where the tunnel pierces it, it shows
better indications than did the Comstock
at similar point. North of the territory
which it is proposed to acquire is the old
Monte Cristo mine, and south of it, on the
same ledge, is the Occidental mine, where
such rich discoveries have recently been
made. The property can be secured at
very low figure for mining ground-from
S. to $40 foot.
The companies whose boards of direct
ors have thus far approved the proposition
are the Chollar Mining Company, the
Potosi Mining Company. the Gould &
Curry Mining Company and the Best &
Belcher Mining Company.

letter service was extensive in this State, and
reached places which the Government routes

Dependency drove Gustave Anderson,
to an attempt at suicide yesterday
at noon. For some time past he
has been employed at the Nevada House

washer. Within the past few days his
friends noticed that he was in low spirits.
and several times he remarked that he did
not see anything worth living for. His
remarks were not taken seriously, however,
and nothing more was thought of it until
yesterday when he was found in his room
with razor cash on his throat, and ugly
wounds on each wrist from which the
precarious condition, but may recover.
