, A Sag Brasb Sketcb,
BY THOMAS FITCH.
Among the old-time members of the
Washoe bar; few possessed a readier
wit tkan Tom C , and none -were more
unsparing of an opponent. Tom lacked
both the learning and the energy neces
sary to achieve rank among the fore
moat lawyers, but lie had a tongue of
rarest malice, and he never lost an op
portunity of using it to the discomfi
ture of his more successful brethren.
There once came up for trial an action
in which an honest woodsman was plain
tiff, and the Ophir Mining Company
was defendant. The case was com
menced during the early days of the
Territory, had been continued from
term to term, and the original counsel
of record on both sides had passed to
other fields of effort than the law, leav
ing Tom sole representative of the plain
tiff , and Judge "W alone for the de
fendant. The Judge was then, as he is
now, a leading and prosperous member
of the Nevada bar, a keen and careful
lawyer, a plausible and powerful speak
er, and a genial and entertaining com
panion.' His one weakness is a personal
vanity, so 'overwhelming and complete
that it renders him incapable of appre
ciating the fun of any joke of which he
may be the objective point. Tom was
neither slow to perceive nor loth to as
sail the soft spot of his adversary, and
in his final address to the " twelve good
niAn' and t-ma " irttk rrmar Woodna
' cocktail exterminator," as he sometimes
called himself, thus assaulted his wmc-
.xng adversary:
" Gentlemen," said Tom, " this cause
has been on the calendar for a long
time. When it was commenced, the
Ophir Company was a great corpora
tion. From its plethoric coffers, was
constructed, across the Ophir Slough,
a causeway more costly than the Appian
Way. Around its mill and residence
property was erected a fence eighteen
Zeet nigh, to exclude the gaze of the
vulgar herd. Within that inclosure
was built a mansion, where the trustees
were accustomed to partake of wine
dinners on Saturday afternoons. This
great corporation had a United States
District Judge, and a United States
a -i a :i. 1 n l
oeuitiuc lur lis lawjeru; ivt hi.uc& nuiu
for four thousand dollars a foot; its
dividends were one hundred and fifty
dollars per month, and its stockholders
walked along snuffing the stars. But
now, gentlemen, alas! temporamuiantur;
the decayed bridge across the slough is
useful only as a shelter for young wild
ducks while their pin feathers are grow
ing. The eighteen foot fence has fallen
, to the ground, and its once erect pal
ings are the sport of every Washoe
zephyr. The mansion is denuded,
weather-beaten, and tenantless. Only
the gurgle of Ophir creek is heard,
where once the pop and fizzle of cham
pagne made musical the night. No
more wine dinners, no more jubilant
trustees, no more happy stockholders,
no more dividends, no mere high-toned
ana costly counsel: "A lie stocs has fall
en to a hundred dollars a foot, they have
struck hot water and desert sand in the
mine, and have come down to W for a
lawyer."
Of another sort than the last speaker
was Judge H , of Austin. He was a
lawyer ranking with the foremost, and
carrying a tongue of rarest eloquence
and wit; but when in his cups he was
altogether oblivious of his surround
ings, and very much inclined to be dis
putatious. While in this condition he
visited the theatre where Boucicault's
play of " The Long Strike " was in pro
cess of presentation. The hero was on
trial for murder, and the dramatist had
perpetuated some startling anachron
ism in the way of a "ruling" of the
judge presiding, that brought II to
his feet in the parquette with an objec
tion," which he proceeded to state and
argue, to the discomfiture of the actors
and the prolonged merriment of the au
dience. May it please the court," said Judge
H , on aaother occasion. " I do not
wish to intimate that the learned coun
sel who has just taken his seat is devoid
of a proper share of intelligence. But
I must remark that if the learned coun
sel bad been a contemporary of Thomp
son's colt, Thompson's colt would have
lost its notoriety."
Who that has ever been compelled to
litigate for the possession of a silver
mine but has prayed in his secret heart
for deliverance from the " professional
mining expert ? " To hear one of these
gentry swear, it would seem as if the
Mosaic account of the creation was im
perfect, in that it failed to chronicle the
presence of Professor as consult
ing engineer. Occasionally a mining
man could be found who added scien
tific acquirements to practical knowl
edge, and such were never over positive
ma v -uui.o ui mo vein, wnile
to the professor it was as plain as a high
way. Often some empirical theorist as
sumed the title of professor, and de
manded aad recaived large sums for
testifying to a mass of technical terms
and unsupported conclusions. On the
trial of the -pberhart and Richmond
case, in White Tine county, one of these
professors went down very suddenly,
after a cross-examination, which was
something as follows:
. " What are you professor of? "
Metallurgy, geology, and mathe
matics." "Where did you tndy these sciences ?"
At the Royal College of Mexico."
"What text-books did you use in
mathematics ? "
"Daboll and Euclid."
" Can you square the circle ? "
" I can."
" Indeed, you are advanced further
than most of us. Please square it for
us right here."
"I have not mv instruments with mo "
, T. S1 .HA .. 1 A -a aa r. n M , - ...
" Where are your instruments? "
'At the hotel."
" If that is the case, I will ask the
court to take a recess, and send the Sher
iff to the hotel for your instruments,
that we may not miss the opportunity
of having the circle squared."
But His Honor spoiled the fun by or
dering the witness to stand down, and
suggesting to the. attorney for the oth
er side that the testimony of the expert
who offered, to square the circle had bet
ter be blotted from the record.

We have to chronicle a very marked
return to the regular old-fashioned low
neck, which bids fair to hold its place
after giving way so long to high .or
square necks for dress occasions, A hey
may be modified by fichus of tulle when
too trying, but a few words said by a
clever French woman may help to solve
a doubt ofun felt by a woman as to
whether she shall follow the dictates of
fashion ; or choose for herself what is
most becoming and desirable. This
French woman has much to say about
the cling style of dress now worn, and
the disadvantage of every one's follow
ing the same strict fashion. She would
have every woman study her own style,
and then follow out- some particular
idea which shall always have in view her
own advantage or disadvantages, so as
to show them off or to hide them, as the
case may be; and she adds that the art
of wearing a low-neck dress is under
stood by very few women, as tact alone
will set a woman right in that respect,
irrespective of her own innermost
wishes. She gives one or two hints to
be kept in sight by those who have no
rules set down. High shoulders, she
says, and a slightly rounding back, to
gether with flat chests, exact a waist cut
lower in front than at the back, while
this rule may be reversed a little for an
opposite built. Thin and high should
ers should never be seen otherwise than
covered by a square neck; while well
rounded shoulders are never so beauti
fully framed as in the oval of a low neck
waist. In wearing ornaments around
the throat, the lull and well-shaped
throat is best left entirely uncovered,
while a thin neck will require rows of
pearls or stones in setting, or a pendant
necklace, and a long slender throat is
much enhanced by a velvet, or a ribbon
with a single clasp, or a jewel in front.
In the matter of sleeves, also, if the arm
is short and fat the sleeves, would be
replaced by a slight frill of lace; if it is
long and thin a short full sleeve made
like a puff, or a long sleeve is best; but
if the arm is well proportioned it needs
no adornment and it is best uncovered,
as nothing is more rare, and, when
found, more beautiful, than a perfectly
rounded arm.

Mrs. Robeson once told me that visit
ing cards alone during a season cost her
40. As it is necossary to make calls
in jjerson, not simply by card, a car
riage is indispensable. Some of the
cabinet families now use two carriages
every afternoon, except Sundays, and
their own reception days. Half of the
family takes one carriage and the other
half another, and each carriage load
goes in a different direction, with a dif
ferent list, and in this manner the two
parties, by making briet calls, can
sometimes discharge as many as sev
enty obligations in an afternoon. This is
necessary when it is remembered how
many calls are made at the residences
of the cabinet each "Wednesday. On
the lGth of the present month 700 per
sons called at the house of one member
of the cabinet, and a3 I saw the same
crowd at the other receptions that day,
I take it for granted that all received as
many visitors as the lady referred to.
She said that the names and addresses
of all calls to be returned (which ex
cludes those of gentlemen) covered six
teen pages in her visiting book pages
about the size of foolscap paper. De
ducting Sunday and Wednesday, their
reception day, these ladies have butfive
afternoons (calling hours being from
about one to half-past live o'clock) in
which to return calls, and if, even by
dividing into two parties, seventy calls
are the most which, under faborable
circumstances, can be returned in an
afternoon, only 350 can be returned be
fore another Wednesday brings numer
ous additions to the list, leaving 300 at
Iaast over from the previous week.
While as many as 700 calls are not made
at every cabinet reception, still it is not
unfrequently the case. Washington
Correspondent.
The First American Cutler. One
Maugatuck's oldest and most rospected
citizens, Lyman Bradley, is dead. He
was the ostensible founder of a now ex
tensive branch of American industry,
having made the first pocket cutlery
manufactured on this side of the Atlan
tic. This is a positive fact, and the
building, or rather shed, under whose
roof the first pocket knife made in the
United States was hammered out, still
stands. JLyman Bradley was born May
25, 1798, and was consequently nearly
eighty years old at the time of his death.
He was born in what is now called Mid
dlebury, but what was then the town of
Waterbury. As soon as he reached the
years of understanding he went from
his native town and learned the cutlery
business, and soon after removed to
this town, where ho formed the idea of
commencing the manufacture of pocket
cutlery. In order to make this idea
practicable it was necessary that he
should import some mechanics from
England, as Yankee ingenuity had not as
yet captured that t ranch of mechanism.
He advertised in Sheffield for some cut
lers and set them at work. The enter
prise was a success from the beginding,
though some of Mr. Bradley's friends
advised him against going into the en
prise, arguing that he could not bell a
a knife in the United States which had
not the Sheffield stamp on it. Water

It was in church.and the bright-eyed,

its mother frowned threateningly in the
interests of good order. Cherub com
mitted some particularly flagrant out
rage,when the scandalized mother sud
denly pointed a threatening forefinger
at it after the manner of long suffering
mothers under such circumstances, and
the herub, after the manner of cherubs
under such circumstances, jast opened
its mouth, took that baleful finger in,
and shut down on it with a pressure
that made that mother groan out in the
wrong place, "Oh! Ouch! Have mercy
on us!"
Burr Cox was one of the wickedest
men in Elliston. Ohio. He was a drunk
ard, a gambler and fighter, but he had
a respectable family, whom he abused.
A few days ago he went home half
drunk, and, maddened by gambling
losses, declared that he would kill his
wife. He ground a hatchet for the pur
pose, he said, of chopping her head off,
but when he made the attempt his son,
aged 15, bravely grappled with him.
The woman fainted from fright, but the
boy fought desperately, and finally
killed his father by stabbing him with
a knife.

Tort n res that Xecd not be Eodorcd.
People suffer a great deal of pain un
necessarily. Among tortures that need not be
endured are those inflicted with the rheuma
tism and gout, since the acrid element in the
blood which produces them by contact with the
sensitive covering ot the muscles and joints
may be eliminated by the use of that matchless
depurent, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, before
the inflammatory Rvmptoms are develoded to
any great extent. "VVhen it is considered what
excruciating tortures rheumatism inflicts, and
what a tendency it has, when fullv developed,
to attack the heart, the advisability of an early
use of such a reliable antidote becomes at once
apparent. The rheumatic virus is expelled
from the blood by the increased action of the
kidneys rhich act as strainers prodnced by
the Bitters, and the sufferer will find, if he uses
this supremo defensive agent, that he will be
protected against a return of tins agonizing
complaint. Dyspepsia, fever and ague, liver
and bowel complaints and maladies, are alio
cured by this admirable remedy.
