A t'I.GAN MHIHT.
The I'nfurlunate rule ot n Civlll/.eil
Viiuiik Man In Nevada.
Droll things happen in Nevada. The air
out there, as everybody knows, is full of
ozone, and ozone in the atmosphere makes
people wonderluily vigorous and original.
A story which comes from Virginia City il
lustrate sthe fact pleasantly. It isn’t quite
assurer! that the account really comes from
that place, hut it is credited to it, and as the
story drifts eastward in the vague sort of way
stories from the Far West usually do and is
merely in its bearing a barometrical show
ing of the condition of the social atmosphere
in mining towns generally, it may be loca
ted in Virginia City as well as anywhere
else.
There came to Virginia City a young phy
sician from "the Staten,” possibly from St.
Louis, a talented, nice young fellow, with
considerable genius in making out a diagno
sis or a"bill, but inheriting from decent par
ents a fatal weakness. He could not over
come a fiaasion for putting on occasionally
a clean shirt, for taking his pantaloons out of
the tops of his boots, and in other ways con
forming to habits popular with the super
civilization of the Orient. He forgot that
he was in the Occidant, whera waysare diff
erent. For a time after his arrival among
the ozoneded Tirgiia Cityitea he conformed
ip modesty and decency to their ways He
wore a dirty shirt of miner s flannel, and
tucked his pantaloons inside his boots, swore
with strange oaths, grew bearded like the
pard, chewed navy plug tobacco and spat
wickedly to leeward. He was rapidly ac
quiring popularity and an immense practice
in bis profession, when he yielded to temp
tation and so fell— tell as thousands of bright
minds have fallen in the past
There came upon the young physician a
pass-on for old phantacies. He clung again
to the flesh-pots of his early life, and took a
course insulting to all about him and danger
ous to himself. As upon the reformed drunk
ard comes at times a horrible thirst fordrmk,
as comes to the opium-eater who has tried to
save himself an overwhelming passion for
the fatal drug, so upon the young physician
came a fierce longing to wear again a shirt
all clean and washed and starched and to don
in otherwise the garb of Eastern cities.
Tff course the infatuated young man knew
well enough that he was wronging those
about him. He knew that in putting on a
clean shirt he was offering a gratuitous in
sult to every other man in Virginia City, in
the intimation thus expressed of his own su
periority. He knew ot the popularity he
had gained, and tidied up"ti it for protection.
The rest ill soon told; Ono ,morning the
young physician come down town with his
trowsers worn outside his boots. His friends
noticed it but said nothing; they thought it
merely an oversight on his part. The night
passed and the next morning the young man
appeared upon the streets wearing a white
shirt He had shown tact enough to put on
his adornments gradually, but lie did not re
alize the luil terror of his situation. Still,
nothing was said. There was a muttering
among the populace and nothing more. An
other day came and with it the appearance
of the Eastern man in public, his white
shirt stilt worn, his pantaloons still outside
his boots, and upon those boots, not plain
Nevada mud but a poTish of blacking. Thin
the people gathered in groups and discussed
something earnestly. The blinded victim of
impending fate saw,- nothing. He appeared
next day, still clean and neat and carrying
a cane. That night the vigilance committee
met!
The next morning proved a clear and
pleasant one, which was a lucky cireutn
rtance, as it enabled most of the population
of Virginia City to stroll out and speculate
upon a droll object in the suburbs. Suspend
ded from the limb of a tree, swinging gently
in the morning breezes, htiog the foolish
young physician from the Kast. Upon the
hack of an old envelope pinned to his breast
was inscribed the curt legend:
••He tuk risks. .Ho*banked too heavy on
his pop’larity”
But. as said before, the scene of this inter*
esting episode of the ozone-bathed mountain
regions may not have been Virginia City.
The story comes irregularly.
Cemetery Customs in Europe.
The story goes that a Frenchman who
had lost his wife ordered a stone cutter to'
make him a suitable tombstone, and on it to
cut the single word regrets. The stone*cut*
ter respectfully hinted that regrets eternel*
would be a more appropriate inscription.
•‘Alas, no, sir!” said the gentleman, ‘I have
hired the grave for five years only.” The
story may very probably be a true one, foi
it is a common practice in several European
countries to hire graves for a term of years,
and renew the lase when the first one ex
pires, if the friends of the dead have the mon
ey or the loving respect that would keep
their remains undisturbed; but it there arc
no means of renewing the lease, of if the rel
atives are forgetful.or the family extinct, the
remains are taken up and buried again in a
common trench, or relegated to* a catacomb
as the case may he. In some of the burial
grounds of Paris the condition of things is
really frightful. Here the ground has been
used over and over again till it has lost not
only all its original antiseptic properties,
but has become a distinct source of corrup
tion. It is no uncommon thing for the grave
diggers whose unpleasant duty it is to ex
hume the bodies which have been buried for
a longer or shorter period, to be asphyxiated
by the gases arising from the graves they
are opening; and it has been more than once
suggested to the municipal council of the
city that these men be furnished with pure
air while at their ghoulish work, by the
same kind of apparatus that serves for sub
marine divers. —[American Architect.
It takes a drug clerk of broad judgment
and liberal views, and a Ckn, statesman
like control of his features to know -how
to give a citizen the right kind of syrup in
liis soda water when the citizen’s wife
says she will take the same as her hus
bank.—Burlington Hawkeye.
Yesterday afternoon a meagre looking
tramp wandered down Barnes street and
asked for a loaf of bread, a plate of pota
toes, and a round of beef, “to fill a long
felt want.” The subscriptions were not
forthcoming and the enterprise was aban
doned.— Burlington Hawkeye.
A Public Demand.
Has long been made for an efleotual and
permanent chill remedy containing no
quinine, arsenic or mercury, and that
produces no unpleasant symptoms about
ttie head—one that can be taken by the
most delicate stomach, and acts upon the
secretions thoroughly without other med
icine; one that strikes and completely
eradicates all miasmatic poisons lurking
in the system. Such a remedy has lately
been placed before the public, and is
known as Day’s Ague Tonic, which is
having a wonderful run. je26tf
For Upwards of Thirty Years
Mrs, Winslow’s Soothing Syrup has been
used for children. It corrects acidity of
the stomach, relieves wind colic, regulates
thebowels, cures dysentery and diarrhoea,
whether arising from teething or other
causes. An old and well-tried remedy.

This pathetic language was used by a
well known, handsome lady, when she
threw a box of pills out of the window.
She had been a long and dreadful sufferer
from the evils of habitual constipation, a
disordered stomach and liver, a terrible
headache, acid stomach, heartburn, and
general dyspeptic annoyances, etc., and
found no relief until she commenced using
that delightful beverage purgative known
as Bailey’s Saline Aperient. The bottles
are large, sell at 50 cents, and warranted
equal to the best, and as pleasant as soda
water. je26tf

THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.
The Oldest Life Insurance Company in the United States.
I.V(XHtPOKATE, 1835.
The New England Mutual Life Insurance Company,
Boston, Massacliusotts.
Assets, January, 1877, - - - $14,515,802.00
Premiums Received in 1876, - - 1,996,286.84
Interest Received in 1876, - - 804,531-47
Death Claims paid in 1876, - - 806,462.00
THE POLICIES of this notfid OLD COMPANY are issued under the Massachu
setts Non-Forfeiture Law, by which policy-holders are protected for a given
time after payments of premium have ceased, no other condition of the policy
being violated. Under the Law the NEW ENGLAND MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY paid In 1H75, $77,351.70; and in 1876, $25,000 on 31 policies,onwhieh the pre
mium paylnents had ceased.
During the last 33 years, this Company has issued policies to the amount of $150,-
000,000 upon 55,000 lives, ami lias paid in death claims and endowments $10,G00,000,
and has returned to its policy-holders more than $7,000 000 in dividends.
Being a purely Mutual Company, every holder of a policy is a member of the Com
pany and Is entitled to a vote ut its annual meetings, aud to his full pro rata of the
entire profits of the Company.
With a membership of 21,000, an ample reserved fund and an annual income exceed
ing $3,000,000, it is safe to say that the future operations of the Company will prove
as advantageous as those of the past have been.
fSMTie Dividends in this Company nee equal to those of
iuiy other, and the interest,Receipt* of the pant two years
have been sufficient to pay nil death claims. -rm_
