An intresting
[Nevada News.]
A notable event in the Masonic history
of Nevada—we may say in the United
States—occurred near this city yesterday.
After the destruction of the hall by fire,
the Masons met for some time in the
Lodge-room of the Odd Fellows building.
This was likewise destroyed by tire a few
days ago, leaving the Order without an
appropriate place of meeting. In emer
gency the Master of Virginia Lodge, No.
3, in imitation of a custom of the Craft on
the summit of Mount Davidson yesterday
afternoon. Over three hundred members
of the Order were in attendance. When
it is considered that the top of Mount
Davidson is seVcn thousand eight hundred
and twenty-seven feet above the level of
the sea, and nearly seventeen hundred
fee.1 ^k,^iO^ Tirgiuia Ciiy, the significance
of this large convocation will be apprecia
ted. The summit of this mountain is a
pointed mass of broken granite, yet upon
the very apex a rude altar of stone was
erected, and who, in the heat of midday
sun, had toiled up the rugged mountain
side to witness the opening of a Masonic
Lodge at a place so unusual and there,
overlooking a city of twenty thousand
people, the Lodge was opened partially
in form and its regular business tran
sacted. From the summit of the moun
tain the country for a radius of perhaps
a hundred miles on every side is visible,
with ^ts towns, lakes, mountains. val»
leys, hoisting works, quartz mills and
railroads. he view is one of the
grandest in the State, and the gathering
yesterday was in the eye of every Mason
present scarcely less grand than the sur
roundings. As the Lodge was opened,
the white emblem of the Order was
thrown from the flag-staff on the summit,
and cheers that greeted it must have been
hiard in the valleys below. Music,
speeches, and a bountiful repast for all,
enlivened the proceeding?, and at 5
o'clock, or a few minutes earlier, the
concourse wended their way down the
mountain side. Members of the Order
were in attendance from Gold Hilt, Sil
ver City, Dayton and Carson, and so im
pressed were all present with the gran
deur and solemnity of the occasion, that
the rude altar was almost chipped in
pieces, to be preserved as mementos of
an event so unusual in the annals of the
Order. It is probable that a Masonic
Lodge was never before opened in the
United States at so great an elevation—
certainly never upon so prominent a point
in the light of day. The occasion will
long be remembered, not only by those
present but by the people of .Storey
Countv.
A Drunken Lieutenant Governor
The proceedings of the centennial
meeting at Philadelphia on Thursday, iu
honor of the visit of a large excursion
party, principally from the West and
Northwest, were of a very pleasant char
acter, marred in only one particular, that
occurring during the speech of Governor
Hendricks of Indiana. That gentleman
expressed himself as glad of the oppor
tunity the occasion would afford for com
petition between American and foreign
manufacturers, when Lieutenant Gov
ernor Samuel F. Hunt of Ohio arose and
took exceptions. This fellow was
pulled down, and Hendricks
continued, but Hunt- gained his
feet again, and expostulated with Hen
dricks, saying he took exceptions to that
portion of the speech. There was at
once an uproar, and it was discovered
that Hupi was drunk drunker than a
lord. A gentleman sitting near grabbed
the Lieutenant Governor by the nape of
the neck and sat him down," and immedi
ately after Hunt rolled under the table.
Several policemen were called, and the

A Painfttl Scene and a Touching ipan
fenftion.
We find in the Maroa^IU.) Newt, of
the 25th of'September an account of .the
resignation of Eldei J. "V. Beekman as
pastor of the Christian €hurch of. that
village. For some time past the rever
end gentleman's habits have been such as
to cause great .grief to his friends and
bring reproach upon the Church. At
the close of the sermon, which was
preached by a neighboring pastor. Elder
Beekman made the following address,
which we give as a warning to all men,
both young and old,'to avoid 'tffc sin and
shame which have come upon this man:
'•As a man 1 have the highest concep
tion as to what the life and chaiact^er. of
a minister of the gospel should be. I
know that he should Jead.
r»
consistent,
and an uptight life, that can be looked to
by the community as an example of
purity and righteousness. Knowing that
my life has not been such in all respects,
I desire to tender to this Church, for
which I have labored so long, my resig
nation.
"You are aware that I refer to my sin
of intemperance. This may be my last
opportunity of addressing you, and I
want to ask you that you will not charge
this great shame to the religion of Christ
It teaches better things. Charge it all to
my own depravity and sinful nature. To
you who have not this habit, it is strange
that I sheuld thus yield to temptation. I
well remember the time when I thought
it strange that others drank and ruined
themselves with alcohol. 1 am glad that
there are so many young men here this
morning, that I may lift my voice in
warning. I beg them to profit by my ex
ample. You thin* now that you are
strong, and in no danger. I well remem
ber the time when I believed the same.
Twelve years ago, when I reached forth
my inexperienced hand and took the in
toxicating cup, I thought I was strong
but I developed a habit that now holds
me in chains, and in the most awful
slavery that humaiaity was ever subjected
to. It holds me in its embrace when 1
seek my bed for repose it disturbs my
dreams during the weary hours of night,
and seizes me as its prey when I rise up
in the morning to enter upon the duties
of the day.
"Profit! oh, profit by my example
see what it has done for me. There was
a time when I stood as fair as any minis
ter of the church of Illinois there was
a me when 1 had as bright prospects
and as cheering hopes for the future as
any of my classmates. But now they
are all gone because of intemperance.
Oh that I could bring the whole world to
hear my warning voice. Young ladies,
you can do much to remove this ?urse
from the world by not countenancing its
use among your companions.
"Brethren, I sever my connection from
you with a sad heart. It would be sad
under the most favorable circumstances,
but much more so as it is. But I shall
remain with you in the church, and labor
in the community for a livelihood I will
come to your social meetings, and work
with you in the Sunday-school, and 1
will do all I can to atone for the great
sin I have committed.
"God knows I do not wish to ipjure
his cause. Pray for me that I may yet
overcome this besetting sin. I trust 1
shall be able to overcome this besetting
sin. 1 trust I shall be able to conquer.
But, should I go down under the wither
ing influence, I ask that you remember me
kindly. Whenever you meet me, and under
what circumstances, remember there was
a time when you were proud of me. But
treat me as you may, act toward me as
you choose, I beg that you will remember
my wife kindly. Do not give her pain
and sorrow because of my wrong-doing.
Poor woman, she has always suffered
enough. I married her a sweet and in
nocent giil. She has been a patient and
faithful wife. Again, I ask you will
kindly remember my wife and children."
This Lie Comes trout France.
There is (says a Paris correspondent)
ghost in Calais, or rank sorcery, or
wicked powers of some sort working.
In that town dwells a certain Topham,
who keeps a factory. In front of the
factory is a wall of considerable hight,
which protects its ground floor from
passers-by. A house overlooks it, how
ever. On a recent Wednesday the row
began. volley of stones, desending
from unknown regions and thrown by
unseen hands, suddenly smashed all the
windows, and hurt two girls at work.
All day the bombardment lasted, in spite
of police. Thursday the gendarmes oc
cupied the factory, not doubting that all
evil powers would be stilled before the
magisterial presence of the law. But
stones fell in a shower beneath their very
noses, and the utmost activity of the po
lice could not discover whence they came.
Friday the commissary and a half-dozen
of his trusted minions betook themselvs
to the spot and searched and watched and
watched to no better purpose. They
went across and occupied the house op
posite, holding its strategic points and
setting up an observatorv on the roof.
Quite fruitlessly as yet." The bombar
ment recommences from time to time
with a vigor that recalls the great sieges
of history. So the affair stands as yet,
and people say it's spirits.
Mr. Alderman Jessop, of Sheffield,
England, has given $55,000 for a new
hospital for woman in that town.

bought the land beJbnging^iffi'theJfndians
in the South, and gave them ii^lieM tracts
west of the Mississippi. Theigreaifbody
of red men removed, leaving this frag
ment of a people, numbering about 1,500
souls, still occupying their original
territory, a mountainous region
called Quilla. watered by
the Tuckaseege and Ocon
alufta Rivers. This tribe fell for a whole
generation under the absolute conttol of
a single white man. who, we aie told,
"exercised a dictatorship a3 unlicensed
over them as did Dr. Francia over the
half-breeds of Paraguay." This man
was their ruler, judge, business agent,
religious leader, and a word master of
their souls and bodies. They married,
workedi and managed their households
wbrolry according to his orders. The man

morality, for, although ho permitted po
lygamy among them, he compelled the
whole tribe to sign the pledge, and what
is more, to keep it. His conscience, how
ever, did not prevent him from following
the usual course of the white man with
the red. In the thirty years in which
he ruled them he managed
to possess himself of every
foot of the large territory owned by
them, and also of additional tracts pur
chased by the money paid them by gov
ernment in lieu of that which would have
been given them had they gone West.
is
This whole region was held in his name
consequently when his outside specula
tions failed, it was seized by his creditors
and sold under the hammer. It was the
ground on which these Indians had lived
since the memory of man, and for every
foot of which theii money had paid.
These Cherokees, too, differ from their
Western brethren in that they have
never made public appeals for aid, have
received no help from any religious body,
have no missionaries or teachers, and yet
have lived peaceable, inoffensive lives,
working willingly and hard to better
their condition have bailtwith their own
means two churches in which men of their
nation preach and have brought by hard
labor ten thousand acres ol land under
cultivation.
The case of swindling was so flagrant
that when it was brought into the courts
of North Carolina judgment was prompt
ly awarded on behalf of the Indians, and
they are now restored to the possession
of their homes and land. Justice, it ap
pears, does not wear so thick a bandage
in Buncombe county as in Washington.
But the probability is, now that they are
restored to their right that the honest
men who aided them to gain them will
betake themselves to their own concerns,
and the poor Indians will become the
prey of a dozen speculators, instead, as
heretofore, of one. They number about
11,000 they are shut in by mountain
ranges and almost impracticable hill-roads
from the rest of mankind they are un
taught but eager (or knowledge and for
a place in the unknown world outside.
Since the decision in their favor (in May
last) government agents, traders and deal
ers in whisky have become cognizant of
their whereabouts, and have penetrated
the hitherto untiaveled gorges of the
Soco and Oconalufta. Unless something
is done by better men in their behalf,
there is every probability that this peo
ple will be driven down the short road to
ruin, which the Indians always tread
A writer in LippiticotVs Magazine,
who explored their country thoroughly
last summer, states the facts for the pur
pose of inducing some church or individ
uals to take up the work of- educating
them. We all know how vast is the
scheme of missionary work attempted by
Christian churches in America, the
hums requind for its support,
and the zeal and fervor
with which scores of teachers go out to
foreign lands in search of converts to
Christ. "Every religious body has sent
out teachers to the Western Indians and
to the tribes upon the Pacific coast, while
this poor lemnant of Cherokees, locked
up in the hills of one of our oldest
States, is perishing in our very midst for
lack of knowledge." The only attempt
heretofore made to educate them was by
the State of North Caralina. The In
dians carried their children six and seven
miles to the'school the failure was not
on their part but on that of the white
teacher, who found the loneliness insup
portable. Missionary work among this
forgotton people would be as hard and
call for self-sacrifice as much as in China
or Alrica, and would be followed by no
applause. But are they to be left beg
ging for churches and schools Surely
some Christian church or individual will
understand what is needed in Qualla and
he ready to help. If there be any such
we shall gladly give them any practical
information in our power.
Senator Christiancy, of Michigan, thus
concludes his letter to the managers of
the Georgia State Fair, who had asked
his attendance: "After the terrible con
flict through which the nation has passed,
the noblest and the holiest mission of
every patriot is to heal the wounds in
flicted, to calm the troubled sea of hate,
too long mingled with fratricidal blood,
to promote harmony and reconciliation
among the people of all sections, till the
bitterness of the past conflict shall be
forgotten, or remembered only to make
us firmer friends for the future till we
shall come to realize that we are all
brothers of the same great family, each
equally interested in the welfare of all,
and all abiding a common destiny. He
who shall do most to haoter. the realisa
turn of such a result will deserve best of
his country and of mankind.

freshment table, let them eat all they
wanted, and then found he had left his
pockstbfiok at home, and a deaf man who
he had never seen before was at the
cashier's desk. The young man with
his face aflame, bent down and said
softly:
•I am ashamed to say I have no

with
"Hey?" shouted the cashier.
"I regret tsa y," the young man re
peated on alittle louder key, "that lhave
unfortunately come away without anv
change to
"Change two!" chirped the deaf man,
"Oh. yes, 1 can change a five if you want
it.
"No,"'the young man exclaimed in a
terrible per.etiating whisper, for a half a
dozen people were crowding up be
^l^^t-JmPAtienX-^to *a.y their bills
and get away, "I don't want any
change,•because-——*'
Oh, don't want no change!"' the deaf man
cried, gleefully. "Bleeged to ye,'"
bleeged to ye. Tain't often we get such
a generous donations. Pass over your
bill."
"No, no," the young man exclaimed,
"I have no funds.
*'Oh, yes, plenty of fun,'' the deaf man
replied, giowing tired of this conversa

waiting with money in their hands but I
haven't got time to talk about it now.
Please settle and move on,''
"But," the young gasped out, "I have
no money—"
"Go uionday?" quired the deaf cashier.
"I don't care when you go. You must
pay. and let these other people come up."
I have no money!" tbe mortified
young man shouted, ready to sink into
the earth, while the people all around him,
and especially the thiee girls he had
treated were giggling and chuckling audi
bly.
'Owe m«ney?"' the cashier said. "Of
ceurse you do $2 75.
"1 can't payj*' the youth screamed, and
by turning his pocket inside out and
yelling hi* poverty to heaven, he finally
made the deaf man understand. And
then he had to shriek his full name
three times, while his ear.-, faiily rang
with half-stifled laughter that was break
ing out all around him and he had to
scream out where he worked and when
he could pay, and he couldn't get the
deaf man to understand him until
some of the church members came up to
see what the u\ roar was, and, recognizing
their young fuend, made it all right
will, the cashier. And the young man
went out into the night and clubbed him
self and shred his locks away until he was
bald as an egg.
An Arkansas Murder Followed by
fjyncniiifr.
About a year ago a man named Dugan,
of De Witt county. Aik., killed his 8on
n-law named Inman. The circumstan
ces of the murder were of a particularly
revolting character. The two, while in
town, had some words, but came to as
amicable understanding before they start
ed for home. Whiie on the road Dugan
dropped back to the rear and fired on In
man, putting a load of buck-shot in his
side and one in his back, and then snatch
ing a rifle out of the hands of a gentle
man accompanying, put a bullet in the
back of his head. He then took the body
and threw it into White river, and in a
few days after it rose and lodged against
a snag. He came along in a skiff, took
the body and cut it in two, tied a cast
iron plow share to half, and filled the
dead man's drawers with sand, tied them
and sunk the severed body in the river.
For the crime Dugan was tried and sen
tenced to bo hanged, but subsequently a
new trial was ordered and a change of
venue taken to Little Rock. Sunday the
sheriff of De Witt left with Dugan and
another prisoner, the two chained to
gether, for Little Rock. They reached
St, Charles, on the White River, about 4
p. K., and while waiting for a b&at a band
of masked men, numbering twenty-two,
well armed, made their appearance and
took charge of the sheriff and posse and
prisoners. The prisoners were bound to
gether and sitting in chairs before the
fire. The mob fired into Dugan. killing
him instantly, and then departed. They
are supposed to be leading citizens of
Arkansas county.

He is a shoemaker of Omaha, Neb.,
who pretends to be a medium, or clairvoy
ant, or whatever the proper name is, of
the most wonderful sort. Recently,
while engaged in the convivialities of a
lager-beer srloon, he went into a trance
and observed that "some one was stealing
a pair of boots out of his shop." Just
at this moment a messenger came and
told him a man had gone into his place
stolen boots, and fallen down in a fit on
the side-walk. "All risht," said the ne
cromancer "he can't come out of that fit
ti'l I get there." So the spritualistic
shoemaker calmly played out his hand
and then went over to see about matters.
0*er the prostrate and convulsed petty
larcenist he made certain passes and
uttered sundry mystical formulas when
the thief stood erect, gave up the boots,
received a kick, and departed.
Epitaph in the cemetery at Kevsvill,
N.Y
Sarah Thomas is dead,
And that's enough
The candle is out,
Also the snuff.
Her soul's in heaven,
You need not fear,
And all that left,
Is meterred here.
