FROM TRIFLING CAUSES.
Petty Quarrels Have Brought On
Long and Bloody Conflicts
In the Past.
Soda Dec. 1.

Many wars have had trifling causes,
says Leslie's Weekly. A dispatch al
tered in one or two points by Bismarck
brought on the Franco-Germanc conflict.
Palmerston said facetiously that only
three men in Europe ever knew what
the Schleswig- olstein troubles which
led to the wars were about, and two
of them died before the conflicts began,
while he, the third man, had forgotten.
A sighting reference by Frederick the
Great of Prussia to Nine. Poinpadour of
France was said to have been one 0. the
causes of the Seven Years war, some
times called the war of the three pet
ticoats" from the fact that the France
of Pompadorr and the Russia of Cath
crime IL. joined the Austria of Maria
Theresa against Frederick.
According to John Bright, England
and her allies drifted into The Crimean
war without realizing it until after they
got in, and they did not know what they
were fighting for even after they start
ed; while it is certain that everything
which is supposed to have been f2c
by that results Of quarter of century
of war beginning with the commence
ment Of the French revolution and end
ing with Waterloo pleased nobody and
settled nothing" according to shcri.
dan. The average person who lived in
those days knew as little about the
causes of the slaughter as old Kaspar
did about the battle OF Bienheim when
questioned by little Peterkin.

Lord Justice Romor, of England, has
swept away a venerable precedent and
established greatly improved new one
in it's place. The old one was in case
where two judges had delivered oppo-
site judgments, and third observed
oracularly: II agree with my brother
A. for the reasons given by my
brother B. This is, Of course, well
known, but the new one is much finer.
Lord Justice A. l.. Smith had delivered
judgment, disn1issipg an appeal. Lord
Justice Collins said: II agree Il
also agree,o said Romcr, L. J. "One
moment" said Collins; II haven't fin
ished yet" and he proceeded to give
his reasons. Then there was solemn
pause and everybody looked anxiously
at Romer. Firmly, if somewhat sadly,
he spoke: 81 still agree" Detroit

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use

that disease it may be taken as assure
sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a pecu-
liar rough cough. II Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy is given as soon as
the child becomes hoarse, or even af-
ter the croupy cough appears, it will
prevent the attack. 1t is used in

Volcano Sees Stars.

ED. BULLETIN Since the men
working on the snelter were c..
charged this has been Gul, town.
In fact, nothing has occurred to
break the monctony except the
shower OF meteors on the 18th ult
At about O'Clock that morning the
writer Of this and Elmer Dunlap
were going from Bob Stewards sa-
loon to the next one when there sud
denly appeared in the northeastern
sky large meteor, which sailed ma
Jestically across the heavens md
burst into a shower Ct many-colored
stars. 1t was followed by q half
dozen smaller ones, and for a few
minutes after the sky was clear and
the stars glitGered in the frosty at
mosphcre like diamonds. Suddenly
from the east there came flashes of
light, aud in an instant the earth
seemed at1ame with the glare of myr-
lads OF meteors, shooting stars and
bands of fire that resembled the au-
rora borealis. We could hear kissing
sounds when some Of the larger me.
teors entered the earth's atmosphere,
and occasionally loud report when
they burst into fragments. Some
times there was continuous shower
for 20 or 30 seconds, followed by sin
gle and double stars; then another
grand burst of fame, making dis
play which held US entranced. No
language can describe the beauty of
the scene--it exceeded the display of
fireworks last Fourth of July at Sill
yer Peak Owing to the lateness Tor
earliness) of the hour, none of our
people saw the sight, which is to be
regretted We were favored with a
clear sky and fine background of
black mountains-in fact, it seemed
as though nature had taken special
pains to make it as brilliant as posi-
BILE, and l am sorry there was so
small an audience. Although there
were only two of US we were as en-
thusiastic, patriotic and as much sur
prised as two hundred thousand could
have been. While the scient fists Of
the world were looking for the spec
tacle through all kinds OF glasses, in
Guiding "specks," it remained for
two humble citizens OF Nevada to
see with the aid OF an ordin airy beer
glass what they failed to discern with
all their appliances. | think I can
claim without egotism that we sage
brushers can get on to anything from
an early cocktail to meteoric dis
play as quickly as any race of people
on earth or in the Philippines. II it
were not for our modesty and the
worst streak OF bad luck any people
ever had, half of US would be hold
ing Offices of trust aud emoluments,
aud the balance too rich to need Of
fee, aud we would be eating roast
turkey four times a day.
