Gilbert Drasher Disgracs3 Himself and
Leaves frpCsPe.

Gilbert Brasher, who has been in the
employ Of the railway. company for the
past two or three years, got himself into
a difficulty that was shamefully dis
graceful and criminal IN its nature q few
days ago, and, as result, he lost his job
and leit town, and WAS lncky to get off
SO easy. Much indignation has been felt
and expressed among the eitizrns here,
bat no ono scented to wish To prosecute
him out Of the sympathy OF his family
and Il desire to give the matter as little
publicity as possible, being satisfied
with his leaving town.
The crime he attempted to commit is
punishable by a heavy penalty. TIE
law of California says: Every person
who assaults another with intent to
commit rape is punishable by imprison-
ment in the State Prison not less tliaii
one nor more than four,ean years"
He was supposed to go from here to
Sacraniento, but he was seen in Reno
Thursday. He had black eye, an AZ
QUESTION he had made after leaving
mere. He has borne an inevitable repu-
tation most OF the time sinre he has
been here. He went through insolvency
some time since and it was the cause 0 t
much talk.-rruckee Republican.

The Confession OF CHRIST.

The final, or browning,
act of repentance is confession of
Christ "a far more joyous priyi-
lege than the confession of sin,'
writes Dwight u. Moody in the
January Ladies Home Journal;
s.And if one has fully passed
through the other steps of repent
ance it will not be easy for him to
refrain from this last step. The
Gospels record the names of two
men whose confession of Christ is
one of the most beautiful scenes
in all Scripture. Joseph of Arr
mathea and Nicodemus we're men
who cared little for popular opin-
ion. 1t was not on Christ's tri-
umphal entry into Jerusalem that
they confessed him with loud hal
lelujahs, to clamor again with a
murderous crowd few days later
for His execution. 1t was after
Gethsemane's bitter watch-after
that night of scorn and derision,
after those awful hours of Calvary,
that these two men came forward
to confess the One who had no
friend to stand with Him. There
never was an hour when the cause
of Christ seemed so hopeless. The
disciples were scattered, the treas
urer of the little body of the Mas
ter's followers had turned traitor,
and even the leader and spokes-
man of their party had thrice de-
MED his Lord, and now, Christ
Himself had fallen under the arm
of His heather captors. And when
everything seems lost these two
rulers allay themselves with His
cause and beg to be allowed to give
that friendless and deserted out
cast princely burial. I do not
doubt but that that one act cost
Joseph and Nicodemus every thing
they had formerly counted dear.
And yet believe that they count
ed that opportunity the browning
privilege of their lives"
