The oak log burned brightly on the hearth and an occasional . big drop of rain came down the chimney and struck in the fireplace, while the wind howled with a dismal noise in the tree tops. The Old Man sat with his feet upon the jamb. A lot of papers lay in his lip and his glasses had slid almost to the end of bis nose. I remarked, ‘‘Pard, this beats being out in the rain all hollow, don’t it—this comfortable cabin, good fire and our pipes ?”’ “Yes,*indeed,” said he, “and I was just thinking how much better off even we are than lots of our fellow men. I suppose there are millions of people tonight right in these United States who have not got a dscent house nor fire nor food, and why ? Is it because they are ‘net sober and industrious? No, that is not the reasov in hundreds ef thousands of cases. Is it because there is not wood or coal or food enough to go around go all can have a decent share? That will not do either, Then what is the matter?” “Blamed if I know, Pard,” said I, “do you?” “No, I don’t; but here are some items that’ have set me to thinking. Thomas 8, Thurman has beer’: making a searching study of the wealth of the United States, and he finds that in Boston there are seventeen men who pay taxes on from one and a half million to four and a half million of dollara, and he gives a long list of men in the country who are assessed on from five million to oné hundred and fifty million of dollars. He finds that the average income of the richest. one hundred Americans is $1,200,000 per of the families in this country earn less than five hundred dollars per annum; and he says if we ge on thirty years more as we have for the past thirty, fifty thousand persons will own the United States. Well, now, don’t that make your hair stand? It does mine, though I do not expect to be here then; but I see plenty of folks around me that will, and how will they be fixed? That is what wil! interest them. Will the vast majority be getting a decent living if things keep straight on? Andif they are not getting a fair share of the coal and fuod and clothes and other of mother earth’s products, what will they do? Yes, Bill, what will they do? When I remember what wronged and depressed men have done, it makes my hair stand. Some newspaper men poked fun at Carlyle for saying that if one French revolution was not enough we wouldshave two, but was not the grim old. Scot right? In" the history of the world if one revolution did not conquer the evils it revolted against, have we ever failed to have the second and the: third if needed? Now it looks tome as though we had given the doctrine of the Devil take the hindmost,‘a pretty fairtrial as a principle on which to build and ran society, and it has brought us to a point that startles thinking men. It has made a number of bold, cunning, bad men enormously rich, and has made a vast multitude miserably poor—exactly the condition of France in the middle of the last century. What happened then? What happened when the king and lords and prelates thought they had kicked and beat the lust atom of resistance out of the people? You know the story as well us 1 do. France ran red with blood, and a people crased with oppression tried to ‘blot out a thousand years of history. Wages have increased during the pust twenty years thirty-one per cent., but ‘ihe cost of living has increased foriyone per cent. Supposing this goes on for fifty years—what will be the condition of our laboring men and women?

To testify their appreciation of the many courtesies extended by the people of this city, the Native Sons of. Quartz Parlor have decided to give a free promenade concert and entertainment on the! afternoon of New Yeur’s day, from 2to 5 o’clock. In the evening a dance will be given, admission being fixed at the low sum of $1.00. The Native Daughters will dispense refreshments. The concert and entertainment will be first-class, and an invitation to attend is extended to the public generally. One of our compositors, B. F. Berriman, one day last week found a fine gold quartz specimen in the waste dump of the old Dromedary mine, of which the young man’s father is the principal owner. The specimen is not a large one but is very heavy, and we judge it contains $10 worth of the precious metal. The Dromedary has been but superficially worked and has yielded a large amount of gold. It is situated on Wolf creek, within the corporation, and some day not far distant will be again operated. The Dromedary is good property. \Telegraph of Tuesday. .

The Grand Jurymen who have for the last few days been considering matters affecting the public weal and woe, have devoted some of their attension to the subject of gambling. The jurymen are not permitted tocarry out to the world information respecting the nature of their deliberations, but the imaginary telephone wire connecting the court room and the TranscriPt office intimates that the atmosphere of that'room is redolent with the spirit of refurm, and that some of the jurors are 80 completely overcome by the influence of said atmosphere that they have resolved to hereafter abstain from even wooing Dame Fortune through the medium of lotteries. There seems to be a pretty strong sentiment in the honorable body that the time has come to cinh the gambling industry in Nevada county and to as nearly as is possible relegate it to the shelf where are stored away other relics of the piping, free-and-easy pioneer times. The situation at Truckee is said to have come in for the lion’s share of attention during the review of the field, and some of the members of the jury centend that asin that town are to be found the most flagrant violations of the statutes, there the work of reconstruction should begin. A case at the county seat bas been looked into with vigor if the imaginary telephone is to be depended upon. In 1885 our City Trustees passed an ordinance providing for the licensing of a seductive pastin.e, designated by them as‘‘rondolette,” Just afterward and before the ordinance went into effect the Legislature eriactéd a law making ita felony for any municipal: ody to pass ordinances licensing ‘‘rondo.”” During the county fairs held here since then the city has issued licenses for conducting games of ‘‘rondolette.” The grund jurors seem to be trying to find out ifthere is any difference between rondolette and rondo, and to be trying to determine what had better be done if there is not. Of course théy do not any of them have the slightest and they must therefore take the evidence of outsiders on the subject, RAR RE A EAE att Tue term “Johnnie,” which was originally coined in London, is now very generally used in New York to describe the peculiar class of pallid youngsters who hang aroung stagedoors and frequent burlesque’ theaters. The distinction between a Jolinnie and adude seems to be that the fomer has money, while nothing is needed to equip the latter but a silver-headed stick, a cigarette, .considerable ill-health and a vapid amile. The Johnnie is also an improvement on the dude to the extent that he has an objact in life beyond cigarette-smoking, even if that ebject is only the worship of a stage divinity. Do.titey—That seems to be a good rule which Mr, Gladstone and his wife observe.

Andif they are not getting a fair share of the coal and fuod and clothes and other of mother earth’s products, what will they do? Yes, Bill, what will they do? When I remember what wronged and depressed men have done, it makes my hair stand. Some newspaper men poked fun at Carlyle for saying that if one French revolution was not enough we wouldshave two, but was not the grim old. Scot right? In" the history of the world if one revolution did not conquer the evils it revolted against, have we ever failed to have the second and the: third if needed? Now it looks tome as though we had given the doctrine of the Devil take the hindmost,‘a pretty fairtrial as a principle on which to build and ran society, and it has brought us to a point that startles thinking men. It has made a number of bold, cunning, bad men enormously rich, and has made a vast multitude miserably poor—exactly the condition of France in the middle of the last century. What happened then? What happened when the king and lords and prelates thought they had kicked and beat the lust atom of resistance out of the people? You know the story as well us 1 do. France ran red with blood, and a people crased with oppression tried to ‘blot out a thousand years of history. Wages have increased during the pust twenty years thirty-one per cent., but ‘ihe cost of living has increased foriyone per cent. Supposing this goes on for fifty years—what will be the condition of our laboring men and women?

To testify their appreciation of the many courtesies extended by the people of this city, the Native Sons of.

In the evening a dance will be given, admission being fixed at the low sum of $1.00. The Native Daughters will dispense refreshments. The concert and entertainment will be first-class, and an invitation to attend is extended to the public generally. One of our compositors, B. F. Berriman, one day last week found a fine gold quartz specimen in the waste dump of the old Dromedary mine, of which the young man’s father is the principal owner. The specimen is not a large one but is very heavy, and we judge it contains $10 worth of the precious metal. The Dromedary has been but superficially worked and has yielded a large amount of gold. It is situated on Wolf creek, within the corporation, and some day not far distant will be again operated. The Dromedary is good property. \Telegraph of Tuesday. .

The Grand Jurymen who have for the last few days been considering matters affecting the public weal and woe, have devoted some of their attension to the subject of gambling. The jurymen are not permitted tocarry out to the world information respecting the nature of their deliberations, but the imaginary telephone wire connecting the court room and the TranscriPt office intimates that the atmosphere of that'room is redolent with the spirit of refurm, and that some of the jurors are 80 completely overcome by the influence of said atmosphere that they have resolved to hereafter abstain from even wooing Dame Fortune through the medium of lotteries. There seems to be a pretty strong sentiment in the honorable body that the time has come to cinh the gambling industry in Nevada county and to as nearly as is possible relegate it to the shelf where are stored away other relics of the piping, free-and-easy pioneer times. The situation at Truckee is said to have come in for the lion’s share of attention during the review of the field, and some of the members of the jury centend that asin that town are to be found the most flagrant violations of the statutes, there the work of reconstruction should begin. A case at the county seat bas been looked into with vigor if the imaginary telephone is to be depended upon. In 1885 our City Trustees passed an ordinance providing for the licensing of a seductive pastin.e, designated by them as‘‘rondolette,” Just afterward and before the ordinance went into effect the Legislature eriactéd a law making ita felony for any municipal: ody to pass ordinances licensing ‘‘rondo.”” During the county fairs held here since then the city has issued licenses for conducting games of ‘‘rondolette.” The grund jurors seem to be trying to find out ifthere is any difference between rondolette and rondo, and to be trying to determine what had better be done if there is not. Of course théy do not any of them have the slightest and they must therefore take the evidence of outsiders on the subject, RAR RE A EAE att Tue term “Johnnie,” which was originally coined in London, is now very generally used in New York to describe the peculiar class of pallid youngsters who hang aroung stagedoors and frequent burlesque’ theaters. The distinction between a Jolinnie and adude seems to be that the fomer has money, while nothing is needed to equip the latter but a silver-headed stick, a cigarette, .considerable ill-health and a vapid amile. The Johnnie is also an improvement on the dude to the extent that he has an objact in life beyond cigarette-smoking, even if that ebject is only the worship of a stage divinity.
