of the Youth. —
a * We don’t know that we ever heard
cocity of boys than happened out on
Piety Hill only last week, vand we
hope that it will prove a warping to
not be lost. ,
-A young lady of +iiat Vicinity was
receiving an afterioon call from her
intended—as he remarked casually,
basause he had to go on the ‘‘night
shift” of. one of the leading mines,
just beyond that neighborhood. The
family boy was.in the room quietly
contemplating a broken suspender
and a large hole in the pants leg of
‘this off knee, the sister having failed
in her usual thoughtfulness of sending him out of the room. “The caller
levels,” ‘‘winzes,” ‘‘sumps,” ‘lateral
and main drifts,” and all the us“yal lingo of mining experts who feel
the responsibility of their calling;
" while the young lady was equally
prolix in commenting on her many
household duties and the severe labor they entailed. He was kindly
remarking phat she must. stop such
hard work, or else she would be go‘fore unnoticed young listener sutldenly aprang to the front by remarking: (eae is
“Now, Sis, what kind of a minin’ expert do you take Bob to be if
he can’tsee through. that channel
and tell ef there’s a pay streak in it
or not? Yousee, Bob, ever since you
bonded Sis, she’s been a readin’ up
of cook books, and only yesterday I
heard Maw say that she tried to
make some soup with some dumplins
in, and turned into the soup half a
can of yéast powder to raise the
dumplins with. And last week
she vead somewhere as potatoes
would mak2 bread light. .So on the
@ly—said she was goin’ to surprise
Maw—she made the loaves _and put
a cold potater in eachone. 0, it was
fun! That’s the kind of quartz
crusher she is, Bob, Sho’s a forty
stamp mill with a full run of "malgamators!” : aa
t this solemn juncture the car
whistle sounded, and the boy with a
bound and a yell wasout of the room;
but suddenly sticking his head in at
the door cheerily cried out: ‘‘Sis,
don’t you feel “bad, for you ate as
much a cooker a3 Bob is a minin’ expert. I’ve seen him down town lots
of ‘times playing bean poker and
: drinkin’, bonanzer croppins, * when
he'd tell you he was bossin’ the men
‘over at some mill. 0, I've prospect_ed’em, and they don’t pan out -indicashuns worth.a cent. There's no
bonanza stherd, Sist’ and with another whoop-he avas off to. see the incoming train.
“For the benefit of those who are
not well up in the Mountain Boy
“elassics, we will state that “bonanza
' croppings” simply smeans “soda
straight.” In fact, the entire vg.
eabulary of steady imbidérs in the
mountains hereabouts has been entirely remodellett. ome no longer
ni eye-openers, might-caps, ete. ;
but the wants of customers are ‘all
explained to the.well dressed caterer
by “indications,” ‘‘croppings,” “‘levels,” etc. For inétanee, if a thirsty
‘soul wants a . pes morning .cocktail, he calls for a bonanza firyt level, and so on gradually increasing as
the day advances. A ‘‘tenth level”
means a half glass, well shook down,
of © unalloyed whisky — straight.
When a man finally succumbs ‘‘in
the long descent,” thenheis “startin
a crosscut” or “running a diamon
drill for ® new-prospect.”

WON'T WORK BOTH WAYS.
Eprron Transoriet:—For several,
continuous days, & week or So ago,
I noticed articles in-your paper urging all (that is -everybody) to spend
their-money.at home. On many 0c;
casions (especially whem drummers
from San Francisco and Sacramento
houses cote around.end sell ' goods
oNLY (?) AT WHOLESAL¥ to merchants,
but take orders from aNysopy witl
the distinct whidérstandity that the
transaction is STPLGPLY PRIVATE, considering that they sell the goods’ as
-dieap as the closest bmyer, at wholesale, AND THEY Do~I among the number can prove it,) I have’ given orders for goods.and perhaps F ought,
and in fact I do, take the articles
published in the TRanscrrer, a portion of them to myself.~ ‘Well, Iam
willing to do it;‘and promise to RE¥oRM in-the future, in that particuTar line, 1¥;-seme of the merchants I
know of will also promise to do the
same. Since the-publication of your
articles’ on « ‘‘nUY EVERYTHING AT,
HoME,” I shave taken some little
pains to investigate. You-know, -as
wel] as. I do, that investigation near-»
ly every time, shows what? Nothing more wor less.than that there isa;
skeleton in the closet of every man’s
house. If youdeny the proposition
‘I will prove it. As I said before, I
started in,to find/ out if I was the only culprit that bought goods outside
of my own town, and tomy great astonishment I found that I am only.
one of a large number, including the
merchants themselves. I feel relieved, atid now believesincerely that.
my conscience has beer more sinned
against‘that its sins are really accountable for. The frvestigations I
have made are really a ‘bonanza,”
and on the strength of it, I hazard
nothing in saying, without. fear of contradiction, that there are but a
mighty few merchants ‘in the city of
Nevada who do not by goods,outside
of their awn line of. trade either in
San Francisco or Sacramento, simply
because, a few dollars are saved. But
‘I am diverting from . what I started
out to say and will now come to the
point. It is this: The Nevapa Dag
LY TRANSCRIPT is now, a3 it always
has, labored hard for the best interests of Nevada county and city, and
for the latter’s merchants.in particular; and yet.upon my investigation I
can point my finger to many houses
in the city who have theircards, bill
heads and letter, heads printed in
San FranciscoorSacramento. T1H1’s
‘THE WAY YOU GBT .YouR Pay for the
hard raps,you have given to those
who send abroad for their dry goods,
groceries, hardware, bootsand shoes,
clothing, &c., &c.,“&c., simply because THEY can save a few dollars by
so doing. I agree with you, Mr. Ed:
itor, when you say, emphatically, as
you have done, that it is the bounden dity of every ‘man, woman ‘and
child to spend their moncy in their
own town and thus ‘enable all of the
and keep larger stocks of goods, All!
merchants set the example and buy,
ail outside of their line in their own
town, and I will guarantee that there
will be no cause for complaint in the
future. . ‘tye uel, AN,

‘caused ‘a flutter of excitement in the
merchants to dow better -businessr
I have to say now is this: Let the}
The Rough and Ready Lyceum is in}.
. full blast. Eloquence that hasibeen
Honors TO WENERAL Crook.
The report that Genbfal Crook, the
famed Indian fightet, with a number
of other régulér army officers had
arrived in this city Priday. morning,
breasts of many an old-timer who
perhaps at some time or another had
served under tho old flag in, the,Gunny South -dF-on the wide-étre+ching
plains of the west; but there was
astic over the coming of these notables, a large: portion”pf whom they’
recognize as gentlemen who have the
mining interests of Nevada county at
heart;“and are helping to develop
them by extensive investments.
Therefore, as-might have been expected, some pains were taken by
the citizens ‘to make the brief stay
of tlie party here as pleasant as possible. In the forenoon they had visited the Murchié mine as observed
yesterday, and after. returning to the
ning the recipients of many .calls
‘from: varions laditg-andl gentlemen.
About an‘hour before: midnight the
Nevada.brass band, which had been
engaged for the occasion, repaired to
the. Union Hotel and serenaded Gen.
. Crook. “Shortly after .-the music
commenced, he together with a number of other gentlemen appeared and
was introduced by Geo. 8. Hupp,
Esq., who made a few fitting and
eloquent remarks. He said that it
was to the.efforts.of suchmen as the
one to whom these honors were paid
to-night ‘(for by this time a large
number of ladies ‘and gentlemen had
assembled.from various parts of the
city) that Nevada county owned her
prestige as constituting one’ of the,
leading sections of the State. Mr.
Hupp said mary excellent and true
things in a few words, but want of
space forbids their _ publication. '
‘The battle-scarred Indian fighter
then stepped to the front. He said
that speech making was not his
forte. The greater part of his -life
had been spent on the ‘Pacific Coast,
and this section especially had great,
attractions for him. Here he found
many warm friends, and was always
‘gratified beyond measure to meet
them, and grasp ‘their hands. Yet
he had come here on ‘business, ‘little
anticipating such a reception as this.
For it, he thanked the kind people
of Nevada, This is a great -wealth
center already, continued the General, and yet its mineral -resources
have but just commenced to be developed. In time the attention of
more and more capitalists will be
turned this way, anf the importance
of your county will have assumed
proportions in comparison to which
those of the present areindeed slight.
Both of the foregoing speakers were
interrupted by frequent applause,
and three rousing cheers were given
for the General. * A call was then
made for General. Kautz. That gentleman excused himself with a few
brief words, and the spectators dispersed to their homes,

The Republican says that a war
between the American -and Chinege
elements of Truckee is almost inevitable, and give’ thé following reasons
for such belief: The Safety Committee have done all in their power
to britig matters toa peaceable conclusion, The Chinese, however, are,
spoiling for a fight. They: have a
large supply of Henry rifles, :innummeérable revolvers, and_knives by the
hundreds. ‘They are building steadily, andibacked by their white ,adviser, threaten war,if the whites _ interfere. Should there’be trouble let
the fullowing facts be remembered.
The committee have.offered' to buy
every lot awned by the Chinese’ at a
liberal valuation. “The citizens purchased a desirable prepay for the
Chinamen across the river, and gave
the Chinese one {week .ih which to
remove thither. In \viewof these
facts, it looks as if she .Chinese were
