_everyone will admit. Marhie mine are’ approaching com. NEVADA cr¥y. CAL. ed Fanatical Intolerance. Two.men engaged in a discassion in San Francisco the other day about the infallibility of the Pope. They were both warm friends, outside of religious matters, but disagreed on the Pope question. The believer in the infallibility of Pope Pius the ninth, * being unable'to persuade his friend to " think as he did, went away and got a} helper. . The two together attempted to bull-dose the unbeliever. They beat and kicked him, and he being drew a pistol and dhot one of them dead. Such an occurrence reminds ‘the San Francisco Stock Report of the middle ages, and it proceeds to moralize as follows: Has not this}: ‘curse of intolerance gone far enough, ‘or must it be perpetuated to the end ef the world, and flourish even in free America, whose constitution gaurantees to everyone, heathen and ‘and Cbristian, freedom of thought and expression? —Fanaticism, disguising itself under the holy name of religion, is responsible for half the wars, for halfthe crime and bloodshed, for nine tenths of the cruelty and cowardly atrocity that has stained the pages of the world’s history. It flourished rampaat inthe dark The new hoisting works at the pletion and it is expected to get up -. steam the first of next week. The building is 45x60 feet, contains two engines, one for hoisting and one for pumping, so arranged that both can be rufi at the sathe time, or One singly. The tunnels have been cleaned oftt and new ground opened. Work on an extensive scale will-soon be going on there, and good results are bound to attend it.discovered in.an unexplored part of the Providence mine. Those who have seen specimens of the rock de‘clare it marvelously ich. ——— Col. Bob Ingersoll in reply to a question putto him, asking if he the works of Providence said: *‘Yes I would make good health catching instead of disease.” _ Effects, We notice in an exchange that M. D. Babcock, the inventor of the Babcock Fire Extinguisher, a good many of which are in use in this city, has been sent to the county jail at San Jose for common drunkenness. A man by the name of Joell was sent toy the city lockap of San Francisco, about the same time, forkilling a man by the name of McDonald, who was trying to beat into his head the infallibility of the Pope. A dozen men are putting in their time in a loathsome bastile at Oroville because they ages, and if advancing civilizatien . thought this covatry not large enough has forced it from the high places which it onoe disgraced, it has only retreated to lower ground where its poison is exhaled a» rank and injurious as ever. That,Joell-acted in self defense in “shooting McDonald He is not chargeable with the man’s death, but which induced original assault, is. We do not wish to say anything which would hurt the feelings of “anyone, for we earnestly respect: the freedom.of thought which it is the purpose of this article to advocate, but the arganient of brute force in theological discussion is brutal, disgracoful and in every way damaging to theoause it advocates. It is’ a tacit recoguition of mental: inferiority’of the impossibility of sustaining the tenets itis supporting, 1 is to be hoped that the terrible example af. forded by the tragedy of last week will not be without its effect in banishing fanaticism and relegating religiouaontroversy to its proper arena.” — Spirits. Spiritualists claim that the departted hovef afotind their friends on earth, and are ever ready to muke their présence known When proper conditions “exist. This power has always been denied by believers in the Christian religion, and is discredited by the great mass of unbelievers. But now comes forward the Rev. A. L. Stone, D. D. of San Francisco and statestin the Pucific that “legions of ost spitits” swarm around and “‘lavish their malevolent regards upon us . and ‘seek to despoil us of what they ‘have lost~the heritage of a happy immortality, * “ We hear, with our finest listening, no rustling of wings; wecatch no soft and stealing . footfall; we are ambushed when we know it not; we oan be sure of no privacy.”’. An unbiased spectator might reasonably come to the conclasion that ifan all-wiseand just God would allow evil spirits to swarm » ground us and “lavish their malevo. jent regards upon and seek to despoil us of whatthey ‘have lost”’, . that he would also permit the few saved spirits to surround us, and to seek to secure to us what they have gained. But then the ways of Providence are tnysterious and ‘no fellow can find them out.: Raflroad Accident. _ There was a colision between a ‘passenger and freight train yesterday morning, onthe Central Pacific railtoad at Summit Valley, between Cisco atid the Summit, which killed he or ‘and engineers of both ns, but no engers were injured.

The Nevada Light Guard's armory ‘has for long time been at Huut’s Hall. Recently the company purchased a quarter interest in the building. The hall is the largest room in the county and enables the company to go through ulmost every kind of drilliait, The company is composed of first class men, is well uniformed and. has the latestimproved weapons. We believe the Nevada Light Guard ranks with the best military company in the state. ie At a meeting of the Congregational Sabbath School,, of Grass Vailey, a vote of thanks was unanimously tendered to Prof. ©. ‘W.

He was supposed to be very poef, as it had been noticed that he denied himself many of the necessaries of life and failed to provide himself with the, necessary medical attention.

The lady was first. engaged by Daly, buat she did not suit in the sort of parts which he wished her to play, and she then went to Wallack’s, receiving $200 a week. Oakey Hall was all this time acting as her friend and adviser. He has a wife and three grown daughters, who are said to be beautiful and accomplished. At last he concluded to make his debut upon the stage ina play of his own com: position,under the advice and coaching, as is'generally supposed, of Miss Dyas. This produced an open rupture with his family, and he left them and lived_.with her without attempt at concealment in rooms on Fourteenth street, not far from Delmonico’s, paying all the household bills at his office, It is rumored that a child is the fruit of the liason, the little innocent being farmed out at some station on the New York, New } Haven and Hartford Railroad. The report that she has left the Wallack company is coupled with her rumor‘ed intention of returning to England. db einai Somebod iy asserts that a “blue glass chimney on a parlor lamp will bring ® youpg man up to the point, _ James D.

Mr. Wm. F. Moore was a most harmonious woodman, and was in good yoice and quite at home in his role. Orpheus is said to have caused the trees and rocks to dance by the power of his music, and we should like to hear and see the tree that would have sung—‘‘Woodman spare that tree,” while under the quite wolfisb, though it would have “better nided in the —effects—produced had the mask been more complete. Mr. ©. performed his task well. Miss Lily Bosworth,as ‘‘Robin,” and Miss Ida Hill, as ‘‘Rose,” did‘ well, and especially so in the duet —‘‘We miss thee, sweet Red Ridinghood.” Miss Sadie Johnston also discharged with commendable propriety the part -of ‘*Buttercup.” Then the choruses of ‘‘Bluebus’’ and of ‘Merry Children’ were weil exocuted, and showed considerable interest by the children and care and patience by their, teacher--Prof. C. W.Halleck. . We think the lady good taste in the selections they made, and gave much real pleasure by the manner in which they interpretett those musical gems, Where all dig so well, it would be out of place to particularize.

The hall is the largest room in the county and enables the company to go through ulmost every kind of drilliait, The company is composed of first class men, is well uniformed and. has the latestimproved weapons.

The lady was first. engaged by Daly, buat she did not suit in the sort of parts which he wished her to play, and she then went to Wallack’s, receiving $200 a week. Oakey Hall was all this time acting as her friend and adviser. He has a wife and three grown daughters, who are said to be beautiful and accomplished. At last he concluded to make his debut upon the stage ina play of his own com: position,under the advice and coaching, as is'generally supposed, of Miss Dyas. This produced an open rupture with his family, and he left them and lived_.with her without attempt at concealment in rooms on Fourteenth street, not far from Delmonico’s, paying all the household bills at his office, It is rumored that a child is the fruit of the liason, the little innocent being farmed out at some station on the New York, New } Haven and Hartford Railroad. The report that she has left the Wallack company is coupled with her rumor‘ed intention of returning to England. db einai Somebod iy asserts that a “blue glass chimney on a parlor lamp will bring ® youpg man up to the point, _ James D.

Mr. Wm. F. Moore was a most harmonious woodman, and was in good yoice and quite at home in his role.

Mr. ©. performed his task well. Miss Lily Bosworth,as ‘‘Robin,” and Miss Ida Hill, as ‘‘Rose,” did‘ well, and especially so in the duet —‘‘We miss thee, sweet Red Ridinghood.” Miss Sadie Johnston also discharged with commendable propriety the part -of ‘*Buttercup.” Then the choruses of ‘‘Bluebus’’ and of ‘Merry Children’ were weil exocuted, and showed considerable interest by the children and care and patience by their, teacher--Prof. C.

We think the lady good taste in the selections they made, and gave much real pleasure by the manner in which they interpretett those musical gems, Where all dig so well, it would be out of place to particularize.
