The CONSEQUENCES OF BUYING YARD
AND HALF OF LINEN IN HAvANA.-The
captain of one of the Alliance line of steam
ers, when in Havana, recently, saw yard
and half Of fine linen in store that pleas
ed his fancy, and purchasing it, thought moth
ing more about the transaction until his ves-
sci was just on the point of leaving port. The
"get ready" bell had been rung, steam was
Kissing through pipe, and everything was in
that peculiar state of hurry and hustle Incl
dent to a vessel abeut to get under way for a
voyage.


Suddenly an officer in full uniform ,iwith
haste and important business written on eve

one OF tfeir number wore blue cravat, and

The captain, annoyed, and somewhat fear
iul that something had occurred that might
detaln his vessel, threw as much OF the suap-
iter In mOdo into his bearing as possible when
ne met the officer and inquired his business.
Inc military gentleman, alter wiping his per-
spring brow with crimson bandaua, and
giving an extra twirl to his profuse moustache,
asked if the captain had purchased from a
certain store yard and half of fine linen.
The captain said he had, but was not aware
that he had thereby inringed the Neutral
ity laws. The officer fastened TO explain
that he had not come to make complaint,
but to ask great favor. His superior officer,
gentleman of most fastdious tastes, had or
dered suit of linen clothes, and his tailor
had discovered that he did not have sufficient
stuff: On applying at the merchants where
the linen was bought it was found that the
last OF the piece had been sold to the Cap
tain; would the Captain be SO kind as to let
the merchant have the linen Tor the officer,
who was a particular friend? Glad that the
detention arose from nothing more tserious,
and highly amused at the Importance which

A rare instance of the union of two


distinct species of ruminants, says the


White Pine News of August II, is to be


witnessed at Eagan Canyon, in this


county. John O'Dougherty, superin-


tendent of the Social and Steptoe min


ing company, has flock of sheep among


which are several ewes with progeny


which has resulted from contact with


antelope, black-tailed deer, or the ouis


montana The story told of them is


this: Originally the animals were driven


from New Mexico; but while en- route


westward were purchased from their


Mexican owners by the Ferguson Broth


ers, living near Deep Creek, on the old


overland stage road. They thinking it


would be useless to allow the ewes to


bring forth as they naturally would
should the bucks be allowed to remain
with them, caused the latter to be emas-
culated, and the flock of sheep
was turned out to roam upon the
hills and plains. Finally, they sped to
the mountains, and last fall and a por-
ton of the winter were unattended and
unnoticed by their owners, who permit.
ted them to roam as wild animals. Upon
being driven up last spring, they were
purchased by Mr.. 0'Doug gherty, who,
knowing the circumstances, was some
what surprised to find that several of the
ewes were in lamb, and in due time more
astonished. as four of the number
brought forth young, two of them bear
ing strong resemblance to the antelope,
while tie other two are declared a cross
from the black tailed deer. Whatever
the sires of these queer little animals
may have been, they are at any time to |
be seen among the flock ofEagan Canyon,
and are well worthy attention from the
skeptical of curious passers-by. Those |
supposed to be crossed with the black
tailed are dark in color and slim in |
build, with neck and head-from which |
begin to project little horns-re-
sembling the antelope; while the
others are of dirty white,
seemingly more rugged than the dark
ones, and supposed to be the get of the
antelope. Some points of the dark ones
favor both antelope and deer-the head |
and general contour of the animal being |
more like the antelope, while the hinder
parts are marked in color like the deer.
The light colored ones seem TO us TO re-
semble neither, and though others dis
agree with us, we are inclined to the be-
lief that the sire must have been a big
horned mountain sheep. We do not
think these hybrids hardy creatures, as
none of them are as active as the pure
animal on either side, and they may never
reach maturity. Their owner has refused
an offer of 500 apiece for them and dam,
it being his intention to place them in
Central Park New York, as curiosities
of eastern Nevada.

A modest and virtuous young man, on


first going into society, is apt to be sorely


perplexed upon the question how to mako


himself agreeable to ladies. He need not


be ashamed of his perplexity. Washing


ton Irving, in one Of his early sketches,


confessed that a well dressed lady was an
object perfectly I" awful to his young


Imagination. We we're once acquainted


with a gentleman Of distinction in public
life, the father of several accomplished
daughters, who could not, even to his fif-
tioth year, enter drawing room where
ladies were presented without painful en-
barrassmcnt. 1t is certainly good sign
for young man to stand in some awe OF
the beautiful sex. A person of coarse
and vulgar mind, who thinks more Of
himself than his best friends think of him.
and who knows lit le of the worth Of q
good woman's heart, rushes fcarlessly in
where an Irving or an Addison would
blush to tread. Bear this in mind, young
gentlemen who blush and stammer in the
company of young ladies'; the girls are
as much afraid of you as you are of them.
You are awkward in your manners, you
think. If you think SO, it is likely that
your youg friends think otherwise; for
the really i'll bred fellows that we have
never suspected cir ill-brecding. And.
after all, what is good breeding but hab-
itual good nature? The simple fact that
you wish to please is proof that you
possess, or will soon acquire the power to
do SO. The good heart and well-informed
mind will soon give grace to the demean-
or, or will so abuudantly atone for the
want of it, that its absence will never be
noticed. Besides, the ladics-that is most
of them-like man who is simple in his
manners, provided that they sec that there
is substance and worth in him. Graceful
manners and ready wit are good as far as
they 60. But be sure of this, Q bashful.
blushing youth, that, in the society of la
dies and of men, you will pass, in the
long run, for what you are worth-no
moreno less. The art of pleasing.
therefore, is nothing more than the art
of becoming an hon est, kind, intelligent
and high-minded man. Such man, be
he graceful as Chesterfield or awkward as
Caliban, all worthy women trust and love.

Several years ago, says Halls Journal
Of Health, it was related in these pages
that fine looking old man, who had re-
tired from business many years before
with large fortune, declared to the
writer that he never slept more than two
or three hours during the night, and Of
ten not so much, and that he offered to
give half his fortune, or to begin the
world anew, without dollar, he could
only sleep as well as when he was a
young man. Shortly after, he had stol-
en- from him something over six hundred
and fifty thousand dollars; the efforts
made to obtain some clew of the robbers
extending over some months, requiring
a great deal of personal exertion, men
tai and physical, SO acted upon mind and
body, that he began to sleep as well as
anybody, especially when he had sue
ceeded in getting back his money, with
the exception of the fraction of the hum
dred thousand.


To-day, man Of wealth and promi-
nence said, on his son being inquired for
fne-looking young man, of six feet,
about twenty-five, free from all the vices
of the times. and creditable member Of
the church, He has gone abroad. He

hours at stretch, if daylight did not
come, and the need of daily toll did not
hurry them from their beds of delicious
repose. To make trip across the At
lantic, to be willing to give hundreds OF
thousands of dollars to get some sleep,
however miserable such must be ; aud
yet the day-laborer envies the rich man
his money and his leisure almost as
much as the rich man envies their sleep

at the compensations of life; see how
evenly they were adjusted, much more

would be more thankfulness than there

Take twenty boys of sixteen, in our or
any other town in the State, and let them
60 to work, three or four in a dry goods
store, boot and shoe establishments, and
printing offices. In ten years they will
have become men OF twenty-six, and the
majority of them will then be about as
far along in the business as they ever
will be. One or two only in each of the
above branches, will be established in
business for themselves or connected with
some firm doing good business, and
the rest will be barely getting a living
and growing about their poor luck
Now we assert that there is good reason
for their poor success, and that " luck"
has but little if anything to do with it.


If we take the trouble to ascertain the
real facts in their several cases, we shall
find that those young men who became
masters in their trades, or leading men
in their pursuits, were not afraid to work
and were determined to succeed. They
look beyond day and week. They made
themselves useful and valuable to their
employers by being always faithful, re-
liable and willing to do what they could
for the interest of those for whom they
worked. When press of business came
they were ready and willing to work ex-
ira hours, and without sulkingor grumb-
ling, we'll knowing that business must be
attended to when it came, and there were
plenty of dull times during the year,
which would more than counterbalance
any extra briskness of the busy season.
To sum it all up these young men iden-
tilted themselves with the establishments
where they were employed-because USE
full to their employers, in fact, fixtures,
who could be i'll spared, and in due couse
of time, having gained experience, were
invited to take hand with the already
established house, or else boldly struck
out for themselves.


Here, then, is the lesson, which is, if
you wish to become successful masters,
learn first to become faithful servants.
