It will bs obaerveJ that tb? ad

to speak of the sugar differtctiivl as

Win. E. So; the in the Forum says:
In the eonrse of a spirited editorial
article entitled "How to Deal With
Nevada." the Chicago Tribune re
marked.
"Congress u perfectly able to deal
with the unprecedented condition of
affairs which exists in Nevada. The
silver rnitiPB which unde her all she
was have been exhausted. She has
no other trineral wealth. She has no
agricultural resources. She has t-otli
uig to attrtkC ? ople, and as a coc-<
qui-ncv -ho id iiickermg out."
The Tri'>un?- urges that the thins
to do ts :?? deprive Nevadi of her
statehood. or at least to exclude her
senators fro-ii congress, as wm done
witti the seceding Southern states
during the war and reconstruction
periods. There are four simple and
lucid reasoas why the Chicago nexs
paper's prescription "How to Deal
With Nevada," should not be
thoughtlessly taken. The first is that
it is not true that 'the silver mines
-.vhich have made her all the waahave
been exhausted." The second is that
it is not true that "she has no other
mineral wealth." The third is that
it is not true that "she has no agri
cultural resources." And the fourth
is that it is not true that *rhe is flick
er.utf out." in consequence of the fact
thM "she has nothing to attract peo
ple." If i may be permitted the
pleasure of introducing the state of
Nevada to the American people
thriu^h the-^ pages 1 think it may
be proved that the eminent Chicago
physician entirely misunderstood the
svtnptons of the disease, utterly fail
? <1 in hie diagnosis, sud as a matter of
course, erred in his suggestion of
remeilite. As the to-called "Sage
brush state" (sagebrush is unerring
evidence of kindly soil anil abund
ant sunshine/ has been the object of
ardent abuse, n hicli s erves an other
purpose than to feed the hatred pas
?ion of sectional distrust, such an in
troduction seems well worth while. 1
Nevada, then, Ls potentially one of |
the greatest stated of the L'nion. Her |
natural resources are more varied, j
more valuable, and more extensive
than those pertaining '<? most of the
states east of the Mississippi, and '
eveu some of ths states west of the 1
river, Ths statement that her silver j
mines are "exhausted.* is a palpable |
ubsurdit/. l'l.e humor of it is eo >
broad that all readers of the gold I
standard newspapers eboul 1 instant- ,
ly appreciate it, since they have re
peatedly been told that Nevada asks :
for five coinage m the purely eelti?h j
hope that tint fnlicy would reo pea
her silver mines and thereby restore
her former extraordinary prosperity. |
If the mines were really "exhausted"
? unlimited demand for silver at |
J1 23 cents an ounce would benefit
Nevada no more titan Vermont. Ne
redan* believe, of course, that the
entire public would be benefitted by
the higher prices and enlarged circu
lation which they confidently ex
pect would follow free coinage; but
they make no pretense of denying
thsir future expectations that their
own state would receive a [articular
benefit in consequence of the revival
of her leading local industry. 'Die
hand that would rob Nevada of her
reputation as a silver producer sl'ould
at least make hast* to rest-*:e her
reputation for disintere&U- patrio

OLDEST RACE NAME.
Dlatlartloa nrloagi to the Cblarae. j
or Moncotlana.
The population of the globe may b;
said to be primarily divided into three
raifj; the yellow man. the white mar.
and the black man. Any other race,
compared with these, is unimportant,
and may be considered a modification
of one or more of thczn. Anderson says
that "the yellow men have immemorial
!y occupied the great central and north
eastern plains of Kurasia, and are
therefore called Mongols or Turan
Chincse. For countless centuries they
far out-numbered all the rest of the
world, and even now the white men in
Asia form only a tenth of the popula
tion. From their number, position and
other considerations, they nppear to
hate first existed ; the other two race*
being derived from them by emigration,
change of climate and mode of living."
The writer then goes on to say later:
"Thus the three great racial types nu.i
hate sprung from the Mongolian |
rtoi'li." I'auliufon seems to confirm ;
this view, and in that case the Egyptian, 1
for example, is not ko old as the Mon
gol. Th?- term Mongolian does not
mean, cs has been sup|>osed, tluit the
race originated in Mongolia, but onlv
tliat the 1 b J >ival characters of the nice j
are preeminently displayed in the Mon- ?
golians. For this reason, therefore, 1
tiiis race holds to the ancient nume, the '
most ancient among many.
DEMAND FOR FLINTLOCKS.
'I t?r j Are Mnite to Delight Africa* ud
Oilier Sntnjcra.
Strange us it may appear, flintlock j
muskets are not merely a record of by
gone ager., iayi the St. I.ouis (!lobe
I Vmocr.it. In 1S55 no fewer than I. ?20-,
<XK) guntliiitr. were produced at the
i.inghcath mints, Ilramlon, Suffolk.
I.'ugiand. There flints are chiefly t<i de
light African nnd other savages, who.
having been so long used to flintlock*,
nre reluctant fo give them up.
The method of manufacturing these
gun flints is very interesting. In the
oj*'ration of "flanking" the worker
will tnk* a "quarter" in hia left hand
and | lacing it on his knee, around
which a protecting band of leather has
been strapped, gently tap the flint w itS
a hammer, giving it each time u well
directed blow. At every tap a flnkc six
inches long and one inch wide falls into
his hand and, if a g.>od one, in deposited
in a pail by his side, all bad ones being
discarded. The knappers work these
flint* with hammers with long, thin
heads, often made of old file:*, trans
versely striking the strip of flint cm aa
Iraa filed in their beaches.

Irocri a( the Hotels.
In Greece the hotels of the interior
follow one general type ? the Italian.
There is no common sitting-room, says
the Atlantic Monthly, Why should
there be? There is no oflice, but that
does not .^eeta to interfere with the
presentation of bills. The ground floor
is given up to a cafe or restaurant, if
I he inukecpr CtwH into that kind of
btisinea*. Very often, however, the
master of the Apollo lias only rooms to
let. The .sleeping apartment* on the
floor aliovc are often approached bv
an outside stairway , and, as is to l*
exjioctcd in a southern clime, they are
scantily furnished. Overfurnishing is
a vice anywhere. Under a southern
sky it is u crime of which the (Jreekii
arv not guilty.
There is usually a mirror, though
that tribute to human vanity in some
times lacking, and, like the Turk, the
solitary Turkish towel bears no brother
near bis throne. The Wdstead is in
variably of iron. At in primitive I " n i t ?*? I
Stales within my meniory.aingle rooms
arc rare. Two, three, four, five bells
an- put in one room or strung along
the corridors. A fastidious person who
desires to occupy 11 room alone huato pay
for all the lx-ds therein. I n mine pi; vw
s|?ccinl charges are made fomlecpiug in
the daytime, and there in a Axrd rate
for sleeping on tho floor.
OLEOMARGARINE.

Here ih an echo from the dayawhsn
it wo* not reckoned unlawful ta atll
oleomargarine as butter:
"We 110 longer have tlie same profit,
able way of disponing of our wimtc prod
nets that we had a few years ago," mid
a fur dealer the other day. He looked
retrospective and a trifle regretful, ?h
he continued: "There was always a
ready market then for every particle of
the fat wr.ipipgs from the different
?kins, Who took J hem? Why, theoleo
mnrgarine manufacturers, to l>e sur*.
The>' would semi wagons up to my
place every day and oarry nwav several
barrelfuls of the fat and grease which
have to be taken off the under side of
the heavy .nclti , Skunks, opossums,
all kinds of anifoulM contribute*). It
all went into the butter. Hut tlv?t is
over \vith now. Since this new law has
been In operation, that branch of tins!*
ness has born dead. People could cat
skunk and opossum grease, you know,
so long as It was enllcd butter, but if
tho denlcrs nre obliged to come out
frankly with a description of its rssl
character, their customers objeoV
