" II j was the orfullest liar lean, said VJtJOley u xjeary, us 1 ever we re turned Iroia bis friend's funeral. "Why bo told ins ouoe taut ha lived on a small island in the Paoilio Ooean on which tbtre was a voloauo.- And be said there was nu active demand out in that region (or watermelons, so be went into the business of raisiug tbeu). And be said cne year bis whole crop failed exoept one melon, and that kept on growing at suob a rate that it orowdad mm oil the low land and up on the aids ol the vol oauo, which geuerated steam and oaused an explosion wbiou blew tha wbole con cern to atoms and shot him 4UU miles oat to sea, where he was pioked up by a wbaler. He used to tell tbat tbe one great mistake ol his life was tbat ho didn't drive a plus in tbe crater of tbe voloiuo, so as to make it water-tight, and then slioe open the watermelon and come Bailing home on tbe balf-Bbell, " He would lie. Ho Bald tbat onoe he was oast away on an icebirg, with no baggage but a pair of skates and a fish ing pole. Bat he skated around until he came aoross a dead wbale, frozen into the ioe. So be took off his shirt i t was night for six months tbat year np there tore it into strips for a wick, ruu tbe strips through the bamboo tishing rod, stuck tbe rod into tbe tat of the wbttle, and lit tb other end. He eaid it burned splendidly, and tbe loeberg re flected the light so strongly tbat it was almost as bright as day for forty miles around, and one vessel ran into the loe bare, thinking it was a light-house. He said he sold tbe iceberg to tbe captain for $15,000, and the captain split it up and took it bouie and ujauesUO per gent protlt disposing of it to lc- oompauies. "Lie? well sir, be buat auy uiau ever came aoross. . Told wo toat once, oat in Nevada, a luoiiotuiu lion stiaoked him with bis month wide open, lie bad presence of tniud enough to grab it by tbe tongue and pull. Tbo lion roared witb pain but be done his level best pulling, and pretty soon the tongue began to give and tbe tail to shorten, and directly out they came tbe tail and tongue in one continuous Btring. He said he had 'em at home, and he showed 'em to me, bat my belief is tbey were only three or four oowhides and a bull's tail dovetailed together. " Hs was astonishing as a truth orush er. Said he served ou a gunboat during the war, wbiob was very small and light, while the mortar on the deck was large and heavy, and be said the first time they tried to fire a fifteen-inoh shell the nhell remained stationary, while tbe re coil was bo great tbat it fired the gunboat four miles up the stream and landed it in a tree. He was a liar, but now he is dead I reckon he'll ketcb it." I THE PIOCHE WEEKLY RECORD VOL. XVI. PIOCHE, NEV.. SATURDAY. MAY 25. 1878. NO. I1 TERMS OV ADVERTISING.

JOB WORK. MURDER OP AN AMERICAN LADY. The Bnobanet correspondent of tbe Edinburg Scotsman writes, April 19, as follows: A sad tragedy has just taken place here. Tbe Bister of the American Vice consul, a gentleman well-known and much respected, has been cruelly mur dered by a young man who fell in love with her about three years ago. For various reasons the young lady's family refused their oonsent to the matob, although one marriage bad already taken place in tbe family, the lady.s sister be ing married to W. Stladeoker, the elder brother of tbe suitor. Alter stormy soenes it was resolved that young Stladeoker should go to Paris, where ha has beefa stavina until tbe last two weeks. Returning to Bucharest, be found mar ried to another, tbe lady whom be loved, aud at one Beemed to lose his reason. Going into tbe room, a few days after his arrival, where tbe lsdy and her sister were alone, be commenced upbraiding her, and scarcely waiting for an answer, plunged a dagger into her breast. The wound was mortal, and witb one shriek she fell to the floor, her sister trying to shield ber from the fury of ber assassin. who, unable to strike again to her heart, stabbed right aud left into limbs and body, it is said screwing tbe dagger round in tbe wounds be innioted. Then, bis object accomplished, be rushed off and tried to commit suicide by cutting his throat with a dagger, breaking it uowsver, and inning m tne attempt. Help coming when too late, tbe poor luuy, who had been but (our months marrifd and was only 20 years of age, was laid on a couob. The murderer was also secured and taken to a hospital, and guarded by a gendarme. During the uigbt be made an attempt to escape, which was frustrated, but on Tuesday, the luth be committed suioide. baying be w.is unwell, be was allowed to leave Uib chamber, followed by the sentinel. On entering a closet ho drew the oord ol bin dressing-gown off, attaobed it knot ted to a beam above him, and ended his life by hanging himself. He made no noise nor uttered a sound, and was dis covered dead when tbe door was opened. Ward Reflex: We went through the Paymaster Monday last lor the first time in many months, and saw about all that was to be seen. Tbe Clay Chamber be ing our objective point we made for it. What we don't know about mining would make a book likeunto Webster's Una bridged, but will make the broad asser tion tbat there is not more than one mine in the State tbat greatly exoels what oame under our observation in the Clay Chamber. From side to side it is all of sixty leet wide, possibly more, but how far it may extend along tbe lode is a "sticker," for no one pretends to know. From tbe level of tbe tunnel this body ol ore has been raised upon utmost to the grass roots. The entire mass it is thougbt will average $75 a too, and a lire percentage will go from $3C0 to $500 to the ton. It Is claimed that tbe greater portion of (his ore can be milled to advantage, wbiob we can readily believe, on acoount of the presence of antimony. There are those who still propound tbe question: "does this body of ore go down?" We suppose it does, unless it takes an airing now and then, oavorts around, stands on its bead and resumes ita position again before any one discovers it has been on a lark. We suppose it goes some where, and after it goes dowa several thousand feet it may take a sooot under Steptoe Valley and crop out on the other range. IT Wiim'T FATHER Whila oovAral boys were playing the national game on me sidewalk, in lietroit, near a forty thousand dollar residence, one of them said to tbe other: , oay, sou, your fatuer has Btruck a 'egacy. hasn't he?" "I duuno wby?" was the reply. . I saw him come out of the gate just now all togged np to fits, and I hardly kubw nim. Did he have on an old plug hat oog natr rusty boots coat gittin' shiny vr 1D0W"' queried the son. "Not ronohl He shone like a new pin, ana tbe diamonds almost put my eyes out," , "Op, yon met our ooaohman, instead oi tatfcerl" .xplained the lad, and tbe next moment be was " knuokline down tight" to "plug" a bull's-eye. The Rook of Gibbaliab. There is only one biudranoe to the Spaniards re taking Gibraltar from England, as they now desire to do, and tbat is that it is impregnable. Three of its sides are so precipitins as to be wholly inaccessible. and tbe fourth side, sloping down to the water, is protected by about 1.000 pieoes of artillery. Tbe Moors were finally ex pe lied from the fortress by the 8pan iards in MG2, and the latter then greatly strengthened it, and supposed tbey bad made it impregnable, but it was oaptured by a few British sailors, under Sir George Rook, in 1701, and the moet desperate and most persevering efforts have been unavailing to retake it. In 1713 it was confirmed to Great Britain by tbe treaty of Utrecht. Tbe Spaniards attaoked it with a large force in 1727, and in 1779 the assault was renewed by a combined French aud Spanish fleet. Tbis latter seige lasted three years. By June all communication between the rock and the main land was cut off, and tbe following month tbe fortress was completely blockaded. Tbe besiegers brought to bear all the resources of war, by land and sea, and their operations were direoted by the ablest Frenoh and Spanish engineers; a powerful fleet anohored in the bay, and for three weeks an incessant bombardment was kept up from eight mortars and 200 pieces of battering cannon. The garrison made a sortie on November 27, 1781, and destroyed tbe enemy's works, but tbe allies soon reconBtrnoted them and brought 1,000 pieoes of artillery to play against the fortress, an army of 40,000 tbe meanwhile besieaemK it by land, while forty-seven ships of the line and a great number of smaller vessels men anoed it by sea. Admiral Rodney hav ing succeeded in throwing relief into tbe fort by defeating the irenoh fleet, tne garrison were greatly encouraged, and, by discharging red-hot shot, silenced tbe enemy's enormous floating batteries and burned many of their ships. Nine of the batteries were set on fire. About 400 of the crew were saved by the exer tions of the British, but tbe rest all perished in the flames, explosions or drowning; afterward the besieged were re-enforced but tbey bad only lost six teen men throughout tbe attack. CREDULITY PERSONIFIED. The Piute Indians have all the super stition common to their race, together with more credulity than is generally found in the native Americans. Their relations with tbe whites have been lor so long a time of a peaceful nature, that they have oeased to look with distrust upon their pale-faoed brothers. Suob, at least, is the oase in medical matters. A strange foot may be cited in this con nection, xsy some means, tne untutored savage has been brought to believe tbat the sex of a ohild may be fixed at will by its parents before its birth. Indeed, this is still an open question witb scien tists, but the News does not wish to enter into tbe disoussion at tbis time. Witb the ' Indians, tbis belief has been reduced to. a settled oonviotion. Tbey are also unanimous upon tbe neoessary speoitlo for accomplishing the desired object. At one drug store ou tbe Corn stock are kept little glass bottles, each containing a small amount of oologne and a peculiar figure representing a baby, These images are supposed by our un improved red men to have a powerful effect in determining tbe sex of the pro spective infant. The bottles are pur chased by the bucks for fifty cents a piece, and during tbe time that tbe squaw is enoeinte she is given each day a drop of the fluid oontained in tbe bottle. If a Bon is desired, a bottle con taining a figure which looks like a boy Is chosen, while tne reverse is tne case if a daughter is wanted to help in the menial duties and drudgeries around the lamily wiokiup. Tbe mother is allowed no discretion in this matter, as tbe father arrogates to himself th right to regulate all tamily matters Uf course tbe medi cine fails to work, once in a while, and then tbe displeasure of the lord falls heavily upon his unfortunate spouse, He never doubts the integrity of tbe druggist who pockets his cash, but thinks upon some particular occasion tbe woman has failed to swallow the dose administered. How this praotioe was originated is not known. It was first started, in all probability, as a good natured jest by some waggish doctor's olerk, and obanoing well the first time, was at once received witb favor by the aborigines. Gold mil Hews.

ISHES TO INFORM THE PCBLIO OF Ploche and vioinlty that he is still in the A corpse startled the watchers at tbe Boms of the Little Sisters of tbe Poor in Richmond' Va., one night recently. An inmate, Mrs. Hiliz, bad died, and tbe oorpse bad been laid oat in tbe parlor of tbe institution. At midnight as tbe sisters were watohloe by tbe bier. tbe sunken eyes appeared to flash, the blood came back to tbe faded oheek, and, as though imbued witb superhuman en ergy, tbe dead body arose from its rest ing plsne, whiob was draped with blaok pall. The watohers stared at one an other and were overwhelmed witb horror and awe. The risen corpse quietly shook herself, and remarked: " I am not dead yet, but I shall die Boon." The Sisters after recovering from tbeir oon- Bternaiion, undressed tbe lady and pnt ber to bed. She became conscious, and after lingering until Wednesday died again. Graphic: The day after Morrissey ar rived in Washington to take his seat in Congress, "BeauHaokman," the champ ion "dead-beat of Amenoa, accosted him with congratulations and fulsome oomDliments. " Not bad," said Morris sey, "how muoh?" Hiokman valued it at $5, and reoeived at onoe bis money and bis oonge.
