Question Of Practice in Banlkruptcy-Edward

Hart, Appellee.


Before Judge Blatchford.


This was question aifecing proceedings upon an
appeal In equity from a decree OF the District Court
in Bankruptcy to the Circuit Court. The decree
was granted on the Goth OF December last, and ac-
corling to the rules under the Bankruptcy act the
appeal should have been taken within ten days from
the granting Of the decree and bond given at the
same time. The ten days elapsed on Monday last,
and up TO that time no appeal mad been taken or
bond given. Yesterday the parties appeared before
Commissioner Osborn and justified on bond be-
fore him; but counsel for the appellee objected to
the form OF the bona, 1t being headed District

practice OF appeal was new.


The Judge said tnat counsel was mistaken as to
the practice He must issue the appeal, stay and
bond within ten days from the granting OF the
appeal exclusive OF Sundays, if he wished that
stay. The Court had no power to dispense with
practice on appeals which was regulated by statute.

THE INFLUENCE OF PRETTY WOMEN
Life becomes more harmonious, it beats with
kecner pulse of enjoyment in the presence
of pretty women. After all a charming lit
tie figure, piquant little face, is the best
remedy for half the ills of existence, its wor-
rics, its vcxations. And even in the larger
and more placid types of beauty, as in the
beauty of Lady Dumbellc, if there is tinge
of stupidity, there is at any rate, an atmos-
phere of repose, genial influence, moulding
our social converse and habits into gentle
shapes.


1t is amusing to see how the prettiness Of
woman tells on her dress, how the order and
propriety of her dress tell on home. The
pursuit Of beauty, the habit of prettiness,
give an ideal dignity to the very arrange
ment of her bonnet strings. In every move
ment, in every sweep of her ample folds, in
the pose Of her languor, in the gay start of
her excitement, one feels the softening, har-
monizing influence of the last look in the
glass. She may be gay or sorrowful, quiet
or energetic but she must be pretty. Beau
ty exercises an impcrceptible compulsion
over her, which moulds her whole life into
graceful and harmonious forms. Her dress
rises out of the mere clothing into the re-
gions of science, of poetry, of art a thou

Of warning, and at the same time help to

which no child can defy and still enjoy life.
In our youth we are apt often to come across
like matters, that inexperience on our part
may render us entirely unfit to deal with

false light, and in such instances mothers

How many children by needing the above
divine command have lived in prosperity,

cup of sin.

One thing should be borne in mind by
Republicans. Onr majority in this State
is not large enough to permit the Judicial
Election to go by default trusting In, the
prestige gained at the general election
The success of the Democratic Judicial
ticket will give them every member of the
Supreme Bench. Aside from the genera
interest which Republicans should have in
the success Of their nominees, there are
other reasons why the full vote OF our party
should be cast on the 18th inst All will
readily agree that it is better that the
members of the Supreme eourt should be
divided politically, inwhich case the Court
is less liable to be controlled by partisan
bias. The election Of Rhodes and Niles
will still leave the Democrats majority of
the. Court Again, it is highly desirable
to the mining counties, that some of the
Justices should be familiar with mining
laws, customs and regulations, that they
may be the better able to decide intelligent
ly upon the questions which frequently
come before the Court where mining in-
terests of great magnitude are involved
The Republican nominees are men of ir-
reproachab)e pri, ate character and of the
highest legal attainments-Judge nodes
has been member of the Supreme Court
for the past eight years, during which he
has acquired high reputation as jurist,
while Judge Niles is the acknowledged
head of the Nevada bar, and in every way
familiar with the laws affecting mining H.
tel iests. 1t will be a a.reproach to the Re
publicans of the State if these worthy
gentlemen are defeated.


Every person having the welfare of the
rising gencr, ,ation at heat is interested in
the election of a Superintendent OF Public
Instruction. For this position Henry N.
Bolander is in every way preferable to the
Democratic nominee. Under Mr.. Fitz-
geralds superintendency, the schools of
this State have been ade into political
machine and un in the interests of Demo
cratic book publishers 1t is desirable that
our schools should be kept freed in every
respect from partisan and sectarian infu-
ences, and this can only be accomplished
by the election of Mr. Bolander.


The people of our county are deep
ly interested in the choice of a capable
person for the responsible position of
County Judge. For this office the Re-
pulicans have placed in nomination W. E.
Hopping, ESQ.,, of this place Mr. Hop
ping is one of our oldest and best citizens,
his interests are in every way identified
with the people of the county, and it is
admitted even by his political opponents,
that he is in all respects best qualified for
the position. During his residence with
US he has been in public life for several
years, in which time he became familiar
with the law and its workings He is
man of sound judgment. good education,
and if elected ca be relied upon to decide
such business as will come before the
County Court with justice and impartiality.


Let no Republican be absent from the
polls at this election. unless prevented from
attending by sickness or some other una

Democrats to make determined effort to

MAKING POULTRY PROFITABLE
The place to which young chickens re

kept serupulously clean, and as the fooi

roosting-box ought not to be more thar
twelve inches high, and to be slanting
which will keep the warm air in tn,
roost. Setting hens can be cured by put
ting water in vessel. to the depth OF
one inch, putting the hen into and GOV
ering the top of the vessel for about
twenty-four hours. The vessel should be
deep enough to allow the fowl to stand
up. This is the best remedy we have
ever tried. Earth-worms are greatly rel
ished by confined fowls. Take spade
once day and turn over the ground for
your hens. They will soon run after you
when they see you with spade, and will
amply reward you for the extra trouble
to accommodate them by al increased sup
