Famous Marquand Rug.

Thirty eight thousand dollars was
the price paid for Persian rug at the
auction sale in New York of the art
collections of the late Henry G. Mar
quand. The rug was woven in the
fifteenth century as a gift from the
Pasha of Persia to the Sultan of Tur-
key, for the record held by Mr.. Mar
quand showed that 1t had been found
among the effects of the Sultan Abdul
Aziz after his death.
Aside from the marvellous color and
texture. which is over five hundred
knots to the square inch, the feature
Of the rug Is that the Inscriptions
throughout it's border, as well as
arabeseques in the medallions of the
design, are woven In silver thread.

A Narrow Escape.

An amusing wedding incident oc-
Cured recently In a country village.
The bride, evidently anxious at the
near approach of the ceremony hour,
sent the bridesmaids Zone of whom
was the young mans sister on to
await her at the church. This action
nearly lost her her husband. When
the bridesmaids reached the church
they observed the punctual bride=
groom patiently waiting at the chan=
eel steps. The lonely misery of his
position touched their hearts, and in
stead of waiting in the porch for the
heroine of the day, they good d-natured-
ly walked down the aisle and stood
beside him in silent sympathy. Where
upon the organist opened the proceed
ings, the clergyman, began the SER
vice, and the bridegroom was nearly
united in matrimony to his own sister
before any one had the presence of
mind to utter a word Of warning. The
momentous question, wilt thou have
this woman?" had been reached, when
the bride opportunely appeared. and,
after explanations and apologies. the
ceremony was begun again.

The people call him rich; his lands
Stretch very far and very wide;
They call him rich, yet there he stands
Ill-clad and bent and hollow-eyed.
The people call him rich; his gold
Is piled in many a yellow heap,
But he is all alone and old,
And when he dies no one will weep.
They call him rich, but where he dwells
The floors are bare, the walls are
bleak;
They call him rich: he buys and sells,
But no fond fingers stroke his cheek.
They call him rich; he does not know
The happiness of standing where
Sweet winds across the meadows blow
And toss the verdant pillows there.

In the Atlantic Monthly for July there
is an extremely interesting and important
review of the First Year of Cuban Self
Government The author of thin paper,
Captain Matthew E. Hanna, was on the
staff of General Wood during the Ameri
can occupation of Havana; for two years
he was Commissioner of Public Schools;
and he is at the present time military at
tache of the American Legation in Hava-
ma. He is therefore peculiarly fitted to
write with authority and understanding
of the advances which have been made
during one year of complete Cuban con-
troll. The showing that he makes of the
Improvement in conditions and the adj
vances in civic probity will be extremely
gratifying to all who are concerned about
the future of our insular protege. After
having given brief and comprehensive
survey OF the things which have actually
been accomplished, Captain Hanna writes
admiringly of the remarkable improve
ments in the tone of public life, and con-
cludes: I'm short, up to date the Cuban
government is conspicuousfor energy, hon
esty, economy, and ability

Out of Repair.

What are the people of Gardnerville
going to do about the fire engine? The
machine is out of repair, and will not
squirt water enough to wet a lawn,
much less to put out fire. A fire en-
CINE is a very necessary machine, and
handy to have about the house. when
you have use for it, but machine out
of order is delusion and a snare.
There seems to be no one whose bust
ness it is to look after the Gardner
vile engine, and it has been allowed
to get into very bad shape. Last week
several citizens had the machine out
and tried it, and it would not pump
worth a cent. One of these fine even
ings there will be cry of fire raised.
and our citizens will rush ftlriously to
the engine house and pull the machine
out, put the suction pipe into the
ditch, go to pumping vigorously, and
get no water, and the house, or per-
haps several houses, will burn to the
ground, and then we will all be sorry.
Why not be sorry little now, and not
let one of our neighbors, and perhaps
ourselves, be burned out for want of a
little forethought? Let some one call
a meeting of the citizens, that we may
organize, raise a little money-and it
will not take much~-put the machine
in repair, and be ready when the fire
starts. Who will take the lead In this
very important matter? Don't all
speak at once.

Scrap.

A flying fight took place in town
Wednesday afternoon, and drew a
large audience. We call it flying
fight because it extended over several
blocks, and was as good as circus
while it lasted. A young man and an
old one, both strangers in Gardner
vile, and we'll loaded with bug juice,
started a scrap in the street near the
express Office, but Deputy Constable
Mathieson called a halt, and the old
man invited his younger antagonist to
get into a wagon with him and ride
outside the corporation limits, where
they could fight in peace, SO to speak,
with only the approving mods of the
weeds by the roadside to encourage
them to success. The invitation was
accepted, and the young man climbed
into the wagon. The old man whipped
up the horses and was making good
time to new battle field. When OPP
posite the Oberon saloon the younger
man took advantage of his companion
and lifted him out of the seat into the
bottom of the wagon, and finally onto
the ground, with his fist. Then the
young man jumped out of the wagon
and ran at full speed at the old man,
who had risen from recumbent posi-
ton, to give him few more lifts
while he was hot. But just as he APP
preached, the old man ducked his
head and lunged forward, with the re-
suit that his head struck the young
fellow in the stomach, and the latter
person went clear over his intended
victim and landed on his head. Then
the old man turned about and pum-
meled the young man good before ex-
Sheriff Henningson and others parted
them. Both men were considerably
bruised up, especially the younger one,
who got the worst of the scrap.
The exhibit lasted long enough for
spectators to reach the scene from all
parts of town, and they pronounced it
a good show, with the proper finale.
When the men left the wagon the
team ran to the turn of the road above
Ritchfords stable, where it was headed
into the fence and stopped without
doing any damage

The Coon Show.

The minstrel show given in a tent
this week by McOanlass' Hot Coons
was very well attended affair, con-
sidering that it was very poorly adver-
tised. The show proper is not bad, as
travelling shows go, and consists of a
lot of negroes, including two women,
who do very well in coon specialties.
McCanlass himself is an unusually
clever performer on the violin, and a
good talker. Before the opening of
the show he delivered quite an inter-
esting lecture to the crowd in the
street ON "How to Settle the Race
Question" The part of the show that
takes the best, however, takes place
after the ladies and youth of the audi
ence are dismissed, and it is not neces-
sary to say much about it in print. On
account of the scarcity of teams at
this season in the valley, they had to
stay here two nights. They go south
from here.
