SUBJECTS FOR THOUGHT.
The face is an expression Of the soul;
and each thought, each expression,
makes an imperishable impression upon
the soul. Every word spoken and every
action done in the presence Of human
being makes an impression for eternltN
upon an immortal soul. \
Few people are dull while they are
diligently employed-none who take an
interest in their work and try to do 1t
well. It is when they lay 1t aside, with
all its sense Of responsibility, that
things sometimes take on a somber and
colorless aspect.
Positive good is the best means OF
curing negative evil. When we are de-
liberately planning to increase the hap
plness Of others and to further their
welfare we are not likely to injure them
by thoughtless actions.
Men sometimes upon the, hour OF de-
parture do speak and reason above
themselves, for then the soul. begin
ming to be freed from the llgaments OF
the body, reasons like herself and dis
courses in a strain above mortality.
Hope throws a generous contempt
upon Ill usage and looks like hand
some defiance of a misfortune, as who
should say: "You are somewhat trou-
blesome now, but shall conquer you"
He who thinks no man above him but
for his virtue, nor below him but for
his vice, can never be obsequious or as
suming in wrong place.
Human nature is like bad clock; 1t
may go right now and then or be made
to strife the hour but its inward frame
Is to go wrong.
General abstract truth Is the most
precious of all blessings; without 1t man
is blind-it is the eye of reason.

Mataran died yesterday at All Second

brought on in a very unusual manner.
The deceased had been a dealer in

handling n OF his choicest birds, was
pecked on the hand by the pet. Mat
aran paid little attention to the injury
at the time, although the skin was
broken and the wound caused a great
deal of pain. Finally blood poisoning
set in and death was the result. The
deceased was 20 years of age.

An old Comstoeker Passes Away

Mondays Carson News says: G..
G. Prendergast was found dead in
his room in the Arlington House this
morning. Mr.. P~rendergast had been
feeling unwell some time and about
two weeks ago suffered what seemed TO
be a stroke OF a~poplexy. He retired
last night at about 9 o'clock, seemingly
in good health, however.
This morning when the chamber
maid attempted to enter the room she
found the door locked. She then in
formed the porter, who looked over the
transom, and saw Mr.. Prendergast was
still in bed, but could get no sign from
him. Mr.. Doane then went up and by
means Of the porch climbed in the
window, to find that he was dead. The
Coroner was summoned and DIR. Lee
made an examination, finding that
death was due to heart trouble. Mr..
Prendergast was chief bookkeeper in
the Mint and was we'll known here.

A Cure for Rheumatism.

A medical authority says celery is a
cure for rheumatism, and asserts that
the disease is impossible If the vege-
table be cooked and freely eaten. The
fact that it is almost always put on the
table raw prevents its therapeutic pow
ers from becoming known. The celery
should be cut into bits, boiled in water
until soft and the water drunk by the
patient. Put new milk, with a little
-four and nutmeg, into a saucepan with
the boiled celery, serve it warm with a
piece of toast, eat it with potatoes and
the painful ailment will soon yield.

Considers the Mission OF the silver
Party Of Nevada Ended.


Party Of Nevada Enaed.
The following remarkable letter APP
peared in the last issue OF the Silver
State:
On April 8, 1892, at a public meeting
in the Courthouse in Winnemucca,
called for the purpose OF organizing a
free silver club, and which was prior
to any OF the meetings Of the National
Conventions. with many others / SUBJ
scribed to the following pledge: ave
urge that the delegations to the Ma
tional Conventions soon to meet shall
be composed Of the very best men that
the respective parties in our State can
produce, always giving due notice,
however, that no candidate whom such
National Convention shall nominate
shall receive our support at the polls
unless he shall unqualiiedly favor the
full reconciliation of silver, and shall
stand squarely on a free coinage plat
form." The past is history. tits well
known that neither the Democratic nor
Republican Conventions OF that year
did nominate a free silver candidate on
a free silver platform; that the Pop
ulists did, and that ! gave that ticket,
because Of its free coinage candidate
and free coinage platform, my unqual-
flied support. The result is well
known. Although l had been a Re-
publican all my life l would cheerfully
four years ago have supported a DEM
ocratic ticket if it had nominated q
man in accordance with the above
principles, and on a free coinage plat
form. Such was my position then and
such is my position now.
Last week at Chicago the Demo
cratic party did what it should have
done Jour years ago, nominated n Of
the foremost champions OF free coin
age OF silver upon an unqualified silver
platform, and it is with the most per-
feet satisfaction hal | hereby an
nounce that the ticket will receive my
support, and that in the future | con-
slider the mission OF the Silver party Of
Nevada ended. 1t was organized for
principle, and when the principle was
taken up and iDculcated in the plat
form OF n Of the great parties and
represented in its candidate, its exist
ence is not necessary; therefore, l, as
one of the humble members of the
party, believe that it is better to have
all the friends OF silver in Nevada af-
fliate with the Democratic party from
now on and, speaking entirely for
myself, | will state that from this time
on | intend to support the Democratic
ticket, and shall consider myself a
Democrat OF the new school, which in
my opinion is the old school of Jeffer-
son and Jackson, but not Of the latter
day school of Cleveland. The question
is above any man, and every patriotic
citizen should place himself where he
car do the most good for the cause.
We have for a standard bearer a
mar that is irreproachable in charac-
ter, both in private and public, and il
is a pleasure to be a private in the
ranks which he commands. The Sill
yer State has always been for unity
and principle above party and spoils,
and it is because of such sentiments
that it will follow the banner OF Bryan
and Sewall and the Democratic party.
