_ THURSDAY, DEC. 30, 1886.
IN BAD COMPANY.
/. The Virginia City Daily Footlight is a thorn in the side of sage.
brash journalism. Itis not only
dangerously original at times, but
it is as irrepressible as an exas~perated hornet. All. the other
newspapers over on the sandy side
of the Sierra get out of the way
whenever they find it looking to‘ward them. Here is its latest
@¢
scattering shot at the enemy :
The Nevada City Transcript
says the Footlight one of the
brightest news rain the State
of Nevada. I thers you. It ain’t
saying much, for a weaker set
and blackmailing, and slobbering, S . wes my
C)
are nearly all the. Nevada papers
-cannot be found this side of Cocytus, But the people are to blame,
They know the bunko steerers and
blackmailers and ied knowingly
ly patronize them. The Footlight,
we are d to boast (not of its
size) does not receive a sous
maryedis of revenue save and except from our subscribers and advertisers, for subscriptions and
advertisements, But look at”our
size, and look at our advertising
columns. Having nothing in the
world to commend us,to popular
favor but ability, integrity. and
honesty, we stand completely boycotted by the mining companies,
the present officers of the county
_and State and the members of the
bar, there not being a single advertisement of the classes mentioned in our paper. It isno wonder the Nev: press is rotten—

“*Young nian,’”’ said the editor
of the Lost Creek Stereopticon,
“you can draw. your pay and

‘Why, what’s . the * matter
now?’ gasped the new local.
“That account of the BeaseleyOppendorf wedding.”
.“Why Ithought I did myself
proud onthat. The two families
have ordered more’n a hundred]
extra papers.’”.
“Well, it won’t do. You headed it the ‘Beaseley-Oppendorf
Wedding,’ instead of ‘Wedding
Bells,’ ;

a steamboat comes along, and the
‘‘Makes no difference. ‘Wedding Bells’ is the head. for marriage notices; it was there on the

In constructing fine houses in
Eastern cities, builders now pretty generally use mineral wood between the floor and ceiling. This
’ fibrous metallic substance is produced by sending a blast of air or
steam through a jet of molten slag
when itflows from the furnace.
Having sustained the heat to fused
iron, it is non-combustible and
free from organic matter, so that
it cannot rot or harbor any vermin.
It is completerly sound-proof, and
may be termed an absolute non‘conductor of heat, for a layer of
one inch thickness, saya our informant, may fuse an one side
while the other will remain cool.
These properties, combined with
its extreme lightness, have since
its introduction a few years ago, as
a good building material, made it
& great favorite with architects and
builders, and it is ‘now largely
used as asound and fireproof fillcold.
