Early Day Happenings
80. In Phoebe .--

Ely Record, July 18th, 1871.
We saw fourteen silver bars at
John Cahill's assay office on
Monday, eleven of which weigh
ed 1863 pounds each, and nearly
all over 300 fine. One particu-
arly fine bar from the Raymond
and Ely mines contained ST.
446.07 in silver and 1913. 20 in
gold making its total value of
$2,664.29. This is considerably
ahead of any bar yet run in the
district, in value. There is
plenty of material in this isolated
district to produce bars innumer-
able like the one last mentioned
and with the mills to reduce a
reasonable amount of ore that
can be extracted, such bars
would be almost too common to
make a note of.
BY notice in today's issue it
viii be seen that the board Of
county commissioners has adopt
ed plans for the construction of
county buildings. The court
house is similar to that of the
White Pine county, one of the
most convenient in the state. 1t
is thoughtsthe buildings can be
constructed for about 500, 900;
we understand bonds will be
issued and the money paid as
the work progresses. This will
be great saving to the county,
as well as justice to the con-
tractor. A number of persons,
WE learn. are DESTROYS of taking
the bonds of the county. The
plan of the court house was
drawn by Messrs. Dimock &
Keefe: that of the Jail by John
A. Steel, Esq. The former was
awarded the sum of SIS for their
plan, the latter $40. The build
ings viii be constructed of stone,
which there is an abundance
of suitable quality near the city.
Wells, Fargo & Co. shipped
from July 9th to 14th, through
their agent, B. F. Sides, bullion
valued at 500, 518.43.
James Levy, implicated in the
shooting of M. Casey, which oc-

so far recovered from his

Estpry to prove it. 1t Ia the story
Of a musical daughter and an un-

barely more than three years old,
but she has already shown every
sign OF the keenest musical liking.
The mother, on. the contrary, can
hardly turn a tune. The other
evening the mother wanted the
daughter to go to bed. The daugh-

0raNltation Defed,

While it is usually conceded thai
puns belong to "the lowest order Of
wit" there have been puns which
can hardly be classified in this way
One of these is said to have been
made by jeffrey Keller, an Irish
lawyer, who was more noted for his
wit than for eminence in his chosen
profession, A lawyer of the name
of Mayne, who was a highly respect
ed but decidedly heavy person, had
risen to a judgeship, while Keller,
who had entered ON his legal career
at about the same time with Mayne,
was still much in want of clients
and fees, He was in a courtroom
one day when Mayne was solemnly
presiding, and he turned to friend
who sat beside him and plucked at
his sleeve.
"See thereI" he whispered. "There
sits Maype, risen by his gravity, and
here sits Keller, sunk by his levity.

to that, I'd like to know ?"-London

FRENCH uHOEaeAAps.



Whoever has had much to d.
with American students must agree
! think, that their abundant enerr,
Is apt to exert itself in other fields
than those where they are brought
into professional contact with their
teachers. French students seem of
a different stripe. They are alertly
intelligent, serious to a degree
which shames you into conscious
ness Of comparative frivolity, intel
lectually energetic beyond reproach.
But somehow when you have been
habituated to academic intercourse
at home they seem a shade inhu-
man. One can soon see why. II is
not that they lack humanity. In
private life they are said to main
tain the conviyial tradition Of an
cestral France. But humanity and
work are separate things, and to
them university work is a really
critical matter. They are not play
ing through three or four years
which shall ripen them into some
thing sweeter than they might grow
to be without this happy interval
between the drudgery of school and
the strife of responsible existence.
They are assiduously preparing
themselves for a career of intense
competition. Their spirit seems
quite to lack the amateurish grace |
SO engagingly characteristic of un-
dergraduate life in America. In
contrast, they seem intensely, star
tlingly professional.
In the best sense of this absurd
term, no doubt. 1t is not that
French. students impress you as
disposed to trickery or subterfuge.
1t is only that in their whole reIa-
ton to university work they take
for granted that they are occupied
not in the acquisition of that vague
thing which we call Culture" but
in a very palatable phase of the
struggle for existence. Their bust
ness as students is to inform them
selves as widely and as accurately
rs possible, and, above all, to gather
their information in some compre- 6
lensiye and comprehensive system. !
That is why they are at the univer-
ity, And they are enrolled under I
he faculty of letters because thew !

jenkins was half frantic with
toothache, and as he stood before
the glass examining the offending
molar he was really quite startled
at his enormously large mouth, II
was SO big that it positively fright
ened him. He thought the best
thing he could do would be to Swal-
low himself and so put an end to his
pain. On calmer reflection he de-
termined to visit the dentist. When
he was in the fatal chair and the
dentist had bis forceps and hammer
in his hand panic seized poor Jen-
kins. He began to twist, stretch
and move his enormous mouth
about in such a frightening way
that the operator became alarmed,

mouth any WIDER" he said kindly,

FIRELEss COOKING.

q covered box, inside of which has
been placed the saddle of venison, a
pair of partridges or perhaps q

uHWaITrEN Law.
THE cedss a. II 10 Understood IN the
Southern States.

They call it "the code" in th
southern states, and to this day tn
code often takes precedence Of stat
ute law among men of souther
birth.
The code is this: If a man insult
you by publicly calling you liar o
in any other fashion you do no
knock him down on the spot, as yov
would in some states, but you war;
the man that you will shoot him OF
sight. The warning must be in tn,
presence of witnesses OF in writing
Then you go home and get your pis
toll, and the other man presumably
does the same thing. After thai
wherever you and your adversary
meet the one who sees the Other
first opens fire, or if the recognition
is simultaneous it is merely a ques-
ton Of which can pull his pistol
quickest.
= Usually one is killed or badly in
jured. But if the warning has been
given in due form it is 10 to l that
the jury will not convict the killer.
The verdict is SELF defense" or at
most 'manslaughter." There is
hardly case on record of murder
er being hung for his share in a
duel Of this kind, however one
sided.
If the cause of the quarrel has
anything to do with an insult offer
ed to lady Of the challenger,s fam
lily the latter is far safer than if he
had killed a dog, In most cases he
walks out of court amid the cheers
OF the audience.
There was a ghastly tragedy at
Oak Grove, Va, A man named
Marx quarreled with a neighbor
over an alleged insult to a young
lady, In the ensuing ARRAY Marx
killed Taylor and two of his friends
and seriously wounded a fourth.
The coroner's jury decided that
Marx had acted in self defense and
exsnerated him.
To some ears this code of the |
southern states sounds wicked and
criminal to a degree, Yet the
southern code of honor is certainly
no worse than that prevailing in
the German and Austrian armies,
