Reasonable.
I. D. CLARE.
There cemes to my mind at times a doubt,
And this doubt I’ll confide to you
As to whether or not it is best
For me to enquire of E. W. (1’)
Whether the girl whose hand he seeks,
(And I’m sure he will tell if he can)
IS known by the title of Annie, alone,”
Or the one that we call “Belief-~Anu ?
It is true that at first he may deem me hold,
And might answer me rather gruff;
But I’ll tell him my reason, then I’nr am sure
He'll answer me civil enough ;
I'll tell him to ask for the one that he wants,
And then I ’ll enquire of her mother,
Whether or not she’d consider me hold, ’
Were I‘to ask her for the other?

A Conlstock Coroner.
HOW TO MAKE AN OFFICE PROFITABLE.
John Mangus, the Public Administrator
and Coroner of Storey County, Nevada, was
sitting in the bosom of his family one bleak
December night, indulging in the melancholy
reflections which so often cloud the mind and
sour the temper of en who imagine that a
heartless providence has singled them out as
a special target for its frowns.
Mangus had a wife and five children de-
pending on him for provender.
Before his elevation to public oflicc he he
been an industrious miner, and well-to-do in
the world. He had gone before the people
as a candidate, spent all he had in the First
Ward, got whipped in the Second,was drunk
in the Third, and being unable to circulate
in the Fourth, was elected there by a suffi-
cient majority to pull him through.
Mangus was a little sore after election day
to think that the First Ward had cleaned out
his pockets and done so poorly for him. He
consoled himself,howcver, with the reflection
that he had maintained the customs of the
country by settling down on election day to
a coin disbursement basis.
Jones had come down with a million before
he could don the Senatorial toga ; and Sena-
tor Sharon had scattered about a million and
a half (being less popular), and (being less
scrupulous) gave his constituents ,a stock deal
and after his election, got it all back again.
Mangus was turning over in his mind how
he could, on a small scale, imitate the exam-
ple of the latter, and recover his money.
As he sat gazing into the fire, which was
feeding on coal at twenty—five dollars a ton,
and rumiu itiug sadly over the past and the
present, hi; wife stole softly to his side and
tried to r7. :or him up.
“John, is anything the matter ?”
“Everything‘s the matter. Do you believe
in Providence—ma Providence that punishes
the wicked and cares for the good ?"
“Of course.”
“Well, I don’t! Look at me. I go tb
church on Sunday, live at home with my
family, don‘t gamble, and seldom drink.
Now, ain’t that pretty good for a man livin’
in Virginia City? Well, does Providence
smile on me? I’ve been coroner of this coun'
ty for months, and look at the death record
for that time: one man blown up in Crown
Point, brought up herewith nothin’ on; man
shot on 0 street, nothin’ in his pockets but a
plug of navy tobacco and an old jack-knife ;
one man scalded in the Savage mine. Think
of that, Betsy. Then look at the Adminis—
tration business; two old women pegged out
and I'had the handling of some old rickety
bedsteads and some pots and pans. Do you
call that sort of thing a provision of Provi-
dence F" "

Barlow, and remarked: ""I‘hat‘s all well

[ was once a coroner in Frisco in the early
days, and with proper care I should make a
corpse last for months." Here Barlow looked
over his glass and winked knowingly at Mag
nus, whose face brightened up as if a new
light was delvning.
“D‘ye see it i” quoth the undertaker,
chuckling merrily. »
Mangus burst into a loud laugh, and his
wife smiled in sympathy. There was a knock
at the door. “Comein.”
As the door opened a gust of wind brought
in a shower of snow, likewise a man.
"There’s a man killed at Curry.
got him here in a cart.” ‘
“Take him round the back way, and we’ll
put him in the dead house,” said the coroner,
starting up. The man closed the door, and
went back to the cart.
We’vt
“There’s no cloud without a silver lining,"
said the undertaker, pouring out some more
hquon
Manges knew there was a twenty-dollar
fee within reach, and, putting his head cm
of the door, called to the man with the cart:
“How many killed?” ‘
“Only One.”
"Don’t expect to be a millionaire in a min
ate. Onc's a blamed sight better than noth-
ing,” said the undertaker, smiling blandly at
Mrs. Mangus. “Miner is be? Well, there’s
a hundred dollar funeral at the least. perhaps
more, and seventy-five per cent. clear profit.
Let me see,” he continued, as he buried his
mind in mathematics. “Imitation rosewood,
size six, eight dollars. Won’t need any let

muslin inside, and the stuffing, three and six
bits. Plate with inscription, ten dollars ;
handles, three one side, four and a half. If
he belongs to a society I can put it up pretty
high.” -
“What have 00 dot now f" cried a childish
voice from an inner room.
The mother went in and kissed the child
“Father‘s got a dead man outside ; now go
to sleep pet.’.'
“O, doody, I’ll dit a. doll, Billy," continued
the child, calling out to a neighboring bed.
“Wake up, dad’s dot a dead man sure.”
Iu‘a few seconds five curly heads reared up
from their pillows, and began discussing the
joyful news. The fond father promised eaci-
one some trinket or other, contingent upon
the arrival of a subject; The corpse had
arrived, no mistake, and its coming brought
joy into that household equal to what the
fleshy advent of a live Santa Claus might
have produced.
That mght the coroner and undertaker had
a private eonfab, and the result of their de
liberation soon became manifest.
Inside a week a body was found in an old
deserted prospect hole, and a few days after
another, and the inquests came on thick and
fast. .
The Mangus family began to assume more
importance. The wife was a shrewd woman
and one night she said : ,
“John, isn’t this the same old corpse you
are inquesting about once a week ?" .
“Hush, don’t talk so loud; it’s the same
‘-I know, John, its hard, when you come
to figure it up; ‘but the Lord will provide
yet.”
“The Lord ain’t on my side, Betsy. But
look how Providence stood in with Billings,
my predecessor. The first week after he was
sworn in there were four men blown to
splinters in the Yellow J a chef: mine; then
came a cave in the Virginia Consolidated
shaft that panned out ‘two more. IIis official
career was a regular triamphal march.
Everything stood in with him. Buildings
fell down, blasts wentoff before their time,
plenty of engineers got drunk, everybody
was on the shoot, cut, and fight, and teams
went crashing through the streets every day
or so, running Over children. Why, his fees
from children alone amounted to more money
than I have seen for six months.”
t‘Providencc did smile on him, and no
mistake,” said the wife sadly.
“Then look at the estates he had the hand-
ling of. Hundreds of thousands passed
through his hands, and about half of it stuck
to his fingers, and yet you say it was all the
doings of Providence. Look how wicked he
was; he gambled, drank, and was a born
thief all the while. How can you reconcile
these things to a belief in Christianity?”
“Trust in the Lord, John, and in the end
you will be happy."
“Betsy, you make me tired.”
Just then Barlow, the undertaker,came in,
and his presence cheered the disconsolate
Mangus. Barlow was a man who was never
cast down and always hopeful for the future.
He was warmly welcomed, and when he'
drew up his chair to the fire he pulled a bot—
tle from his pocket and sang in cheery tones
the refrain of the old song that was howled
in the old hall at Delhi when the great plague
was devastating that city:
“Here’s a cup to the dead already;
IIu-rrah for the next that dies 1”
Thisbeautiful and touching melody caused
a smile to play over the stolid features of the
coroner, and in his enthusiasm he threw a
lump of coal in the grate worth at least for
ty-fivc cents.
“Bring out some cake, and let’s have a hot
Scotch at once," he said to his wife, who
began to move about quite briskly. “It isn't
every night we enjoy the company of Mr.
Barlow. How are things with you, Mr.
Barlow ?”
“Business immense,” said the undertaker,
rubbing his hands warmly. “If the measles
in the Second Ward keeps up another week
I’ll be able to pay the Belchcr assessment and
have considerable left. For a good, reliable,
money-making disease ' give measles; of
course I mean where you can’t get small-pox.
The elevation here is too high for small-pox,
but every country has its little drawbacks
and I don't complain. If I couldn’t 'have
measles, I’d worry along with diphtheria,
but measles is the thing because it takes the
children. Take a well—fixed family Who have
just lost a child and they come down hand-
some for a toney funeral. If it’s their only
child, of course I charge ’cm more. A: a
child's funeral I make a good spec on flowers.
I raise ’em all in my back yard, but I make
’em think they come from Sacramento with
big express charges. Now,for instance, when
they are droppin’ off pretty thick, I make
the some flowers do for two funerals. I plant
one in the morning, and of course they leave
the flowers on the grave; then I take ’em
and cover the coffin of the one I bury in the
afternoon with ’em, sec ?”
The coroner and his wife laughed heartily
at these business revelations of Barlow, and
highly commended him for his shrewdness.
“Of course,” continued Barlow, accepting
their compliments modestly and lifting a
fresh glass of hot-Scotch from the table,
“there are tricks, or rather strokes of busi-
ness, in most all trades. Now, I often make
people think they are getting solid rosewood
when it is only varnished black walnut. Take
a Woman whose husband is dead, and she
takes on so that she don’t inspect close ; if I

corpse, but I always inquest him under a
different name, and I find him always in
different clothes. If Providence won’t
provide for me, I’ll do it myself. I don't
propose to wait like Micawber for something
to turn up. I’ll go and turn it up myself.”
“How long will the old fellow last '2”
“If this cold snap keeps up he’s good for
about a month or six weeks more, and when
he goes to pieces I may have a fresh one.”
“The Lord will provide, John, the Lord
will provide,” said the wife, cheerily. _
Mangus and the undertaker kept their pet
corpse in good condition for weeks, and it
was inquested pretty often. It was a perfect
bonanza for fees, etc., and they looked upon
it as a regular member of the firm.
“I begin to like this man,” Said the under
taker one day. “If ever we’ve had a faithful
friend it’s this same man.”
“Deathonly can separate us ?”
“That is if we die.”
“I’ve got him lying down in an old shaft
near the hospital, and some-body’s sure to find
him in a day or so.”
“What shaft? You don't mean the Lee
Consolidated ?”~ _
‘5Yes.” . .
The undertaker started to his feet in hor-
ror, and exclaimed : '
“You infernal fool, that old shaft is nine
hundred feet deep, and two hundred feet of
water at the bottom ”
“Great Cresar, do you mean it? I supposed
it had been bulk-headed to within a few feet
of the top.”
“We’ve lost him; we ucvcr can get him
up, and now we’re dished unless we can get
a new one, or take a dead pauper into the
firm. We were just getting him to work
along with us so well.”
“We‘ll never see his like again,” answered
the other, sadly. The poor coroner seemed
to take the loss very much to heart, and was
never the Same man afterward. He seemed
to lose all enthusiasm in his business which
got duller and duller, and one day an old
friend of his, who was-blown up in the Bel-
cher and lay four days insensible, came to,
with the remark :
“The coroner will never get me.”
This was carried to Mangus, and the ex-
pression cut him to the quick ; such ingrati;
tude from an old friend, a man -whom he
had mined with for years, he could hardly
believe it. -His suspicions of his old friend‘s
treachery were, however, confirmed when he
saw him walking about the streets alive and
well a few weeks after—not only alive, but
going on a big spree as if exulting over his
victory in depriving the coroner of a subject.
No wonderMangus became a misauthrope.
One day he was missing, and some of the
miners passing the Lee Consolidated mine,
where the foolish coroner had thrown his
dividend-paying corpse, found tracks in the
snow leading to the mouth of the shaft. and
near by was the coroner’s unmistakable bad
nilPoor Manges had committed suicide,doubt-
less, but the more charitable held that he
had rolled in by mistake.
,It was impossible to get the body up at
once, Meanwhile the citizens got up a bone-
fit for the widow—the usual balm for bereav-
incnt on the Comstock.
The musical, dramatic and vocal talent of
the ledge combined. The receipts of the
affair were three hundred and fifty dollars,
and the expenses in the neighborhood of four
hundred dollars. By repudiating the bills of
the newspapers for printing and advertising
the managers were able to balance accounts.
Meanwhile the story was circulated that the
old shaft .was haunted, and such indeed was
thefact. Miners who passed the spot after
sundown heard strange noises, and at mid-
night the voice of Mangus calling a jury to—
gether was frequently‘noted. Soon afterward
it was said that a ghostly procession of men
would file to the mouth‘ of the shaft and
disappear.- Those who took the pains to
stop and listen declared that they could hear
the taking of testimony for hours.
O
One night some men coming off the three
o‘clock shift heard these words ring out
clearly in the frosty air of the morning:
“We find the deceased fort y-three years of
age, a native of Cornwall, England, who
came to his death by a cave in the Gould and
Curry mine on the seventeen—fifty level, and
we believe that nobody is to blame.” '
A few moments later a crowd of spectral
.vitnesscs and j urymen came up from the
«haft and melted away into the darkness.
Such were the stories which passed current
a the city, but I must confess that I never
act a man who would vouch for them of his
own knowledge.
About three months after the disappearance
)f the coroner a skeleton was dragged up from
the bottom of the shaft, duly inquested and
buried as the remains of John Manges.
The undertaker a few months after receiv—
ed a letter, which was as follows :
"DEAR Bantow :-—I suppose you attended
‘ny funeral on the 17th. The accounts in the
)apers amused me considerably. I am alive
:tfld well in Lima with my family, who have

JonSOlidated shaft, then threw my old but

Not long after the books of the Public Ad-
uinistrator‘s office was overhauled, and there
was a deficit of ten thousand dollars—San

The Democratic Predicamcnt.
A faint disposition is manifested, by some
if the least sensible Democratic journals, to
revive the cry of “Fraud” as the one thing
about which it is hoped that the Democratic
Jarty can agree until after the election.
Possibly, this course is the best that party
38.11 take. But how pitiable must be its
oredicament if it can do no better! It is
painfully evident that every reference to the
Presidential contest of 1876, as matters now
stand, only reminds men of the unparalleled
vmpudenec and hypocrisy of Democratic
:eadcrs, who tried to get the Presidency by
bribery and theft and have been howling
"Fraud" ever since because they failed. It
matters not whether the infamous barter was
ittemptcd by, direction of the chosen candi-
late of the Democratic party, or by his
closest personal friends and by the official or-
ganization of the party without his knowl—
edge._ In either case, decent citizgns will
reflect, we should have had an administra-
tion of unexampled and shameless corruption
and such a candidate, surrounded by such
familiars, and backed by such a party, been
placed in the White House for four years.
I‘he mere thought of a disgrace so complete,
ind so narrowly escaped, is enough to keep
my man from voting a Democratic ticket for
he rest of his life. '
Unhappily for the Democratic leaders,they
cannot ignore the election of 1876. The
people will not let them. Republican jour-
nals and speakers Will not let them. More—
)ver, they have placed themselves in such a
position that they have nothing else to talk
About. They cannot talk of the finances
without driving away either those whose
convictions or interests move them to uphold
the public credit. or those who have embrac-
ad Greenback heresies. They cannot talk of
the tariff without giving up all hope in East-
ern States,on one hand, or in Western States.
on the other. They cannot talk of internal

Democracy gained control of the House-
They cannot talk of economy,even, with any
earnestness, because Democratic demagogues
have been courting votes of workingmen by
promises of an enormous increase of expen—
ditures for public works. There is literally
no other question upon which Democrats
dare to ask public attention, and yet such of
rather talk of anything else, if they dared,
than of the last election and its “frauds.”- -

A striking incident in Mr. Lincoln’4 official
life is related by Judge Bromwe‘} 0f Den-
ver, who visited the White How‘0 in March,
1865, Mr. Seward and sevefi’;l other gentle—
men were also preseut' and the President
gradually came to ta“ on decisions Of life
and death. All other matters submitted to
him, he declared were nothing in compari-
son to these, and he added: “I reckon there
never was a man raised in the country on a
farm. where they are always butchering cat—
tie and hogs and think nothing of it, that
ever grew up with such an aversion to blood-
shed as I have; and yet I’ve had more ques-
tions of life and death to settle in four years
than all the men who ever sat in this chair
put together. But I’ve managed to get along
and do my duty, as I believe, and still save
most of them ; and there’s no man knows
the distress of my mind. But there have
been some of them I couldn’t save—there
are some cases where law must be executed.
There was that man ,who was sen-
tenced for piracy and slave trading on the
high seas. That was a case where there
must be an example, and you don’t know
how they followed and pressed to get him
pardoned, or his sentence commuted; but
there was no use of talking. It had to be
done; Icouldn‘t help him; and then there
was that , who was caught spying and
recruiting within Pope’s lines in Missouri.
That was another case. They beseiged me
night and day, but I couldn’t give way. We
had come to a point where something must
be done that would put a stop to such work.
And then there was this case of Bee], on the
lakes. That was a case where there must be
an example. They tried me every way.
They wouldn’t give up; but I had to stand
firm on that, and I even had to turn away his
poor sister when she came and begged for his
life and let him be executed, and he was exe-
cuted, and I can’t get the distress out of my
mind yet.” As the kindly man uttered these
words the tears ran down his cheeks, and the
eyes of the men surrounding him moistened
in sympathy. There was a profound silence
in which they rose to depart. Three weeks
after the President was killed.

For several weeks past ahead of gypsies
have been hanging about Ansonia, doing an
apparently thriving business in horse trad—
ing, fortune-telling, &c. One of the female
members of the gang went from house to
house, revealing a happy future to the in-
mates whenever the requirfld fee was paid,
and evidently did a profitable business until
her boldness put her into the clutches of the
law. Calling at one house, she received 73
cents on a dollar charge for telling a fortune,
and proceeded to unfold a fanciful predic—
tion to her lady listener, telling her or a vast
fortune about to come into her possession
in England, and many other things just about
as probable. Finally, she called for a silver
spoon—«the genuine article must be had-—
and it was produced. Then its mate was
demanded, and the demand was kept up in
this way until other silverware, a tabl e-cloth
a counterpane, and some salt in a cellar was
brought, all of which the woman wrapped
“up in a bundle, all the while going on with
her oracular revelations. At the conclusion
of her story she took the bundle and with-

' The majority in the Senate having made

quences. He has been treating them to some

erage vote in a Northern Congressional Dis-
trict, he finds; is 26,000; in a Southern Dis.
trict, only 18,000. Last year the Northern
States polled close on 5,000,000, votes, and
elected 183 Representatives, while the South-
ern States elected IO6 Representatives with
a vote of less than 2,000,000. From 250,000
to 300,000 more votes were cast for the Re.
publicau minority in Congress than for thi-
Democratic majority. Only 33 Southern
Congressional Districts cast more than 20,-
000 votes, while in the North 77 districts

which cast less than 15,000 votes, and Geor-
gia elected three Representatives by total
votes of 2,600, 3,200 and 3,400 respectively;
in the North there were only two districts

Blaine has reminded the country that the
South is even better of]? politically than it
was before the war. The bulldozed blacks
give almost as little trouble as the slaves
gave in the way of voting; where the South
gains is in the fact that, in making up the

Does the Sun Move.
Tun DISCUSSION BETWEEN monaroxn's xv._
GRO ranacrmas oaowuvo wamrna.
This (Sunday) afternoon John Jasper (col-
ored) preached for the second time his ser-
mon to prove that the sun moves around the
earth and that the earth stands still. N ever
has there been so much excitement in ”1011'
mend among the colored peeple BY 2
o’clock fully five thousand 03' them were
crowded around Mourfi Zion ChUI‘Ch. while
the streets leadinr to it were thronged
Jasper has beer carrying on a fierce con-
troversy witl' the other colored preachers
here as to whether or not the sun moves.
Jasper .lleges that they are jealous of his
supp-rm gifts and says he will preach his
yrmon one hundred times, “until every man
woman and child in the city is convinced
that the sun do move.” Parson Wells, of
Ebenezer church, one of the rival colored
Baptist ministers here published acard on
Friday, in which he and the. three elders of
his church said they did not intend to be
bullied into the belief that the sun rolls
around the earth, and they pronounced the
assertion of Jasper, “that the sun do move,”
as a base fabrication. Yesterday Jasper
replied to Wells and his elders in acard,
in which he ‘denounced them as those three
hypocrites, and said that their opposition was
actuated by motives of jealousy. ‘
The negroes here have eschewed politics
and have arranged themselves on the side
of the Jasperian theory or against it, and
the discussion runs high. This evening
they poured in from Manchester and the
suburbs of this city, and anxiously awaited
the church doors to open. Richmond so-
ciety was well represented. Fully four
hundred of the best white citizens Were pres-
sent, and the Franklin street belle was sand—
wiched in the cr owd with colored cooks and
washer-women. Among those present were
Judge Christian of the court of appeals, ex-
Seerctary Of the Commonwealth George
Wythe Mumford, the faculty of Richmond
College, Commonwealth Attorney George
D. Wise, and leading lawyers and doctors.
Jasper has been urged to speak in the
open air, but although he was guaranteed a
squad of police; he said he was afraid that
his opponents would stone him. The gist
of the sermon has heretofore been given.
He, repeated his arguments to prove that
the sun moves, and did so with great earn-
estness. During the discourse .such remdrks
were heard in the congregation as “Dat’s
so.” “Give it to dem, Brudder Jasper.”
“He’s right.” “Yes, de sun do move."
“Yes, Lord, she be amovin’,” and many
others. When Jasper, speaking of the pas-
sage of the children of Israel over the Red
Sea, said, “An Angel of de Lord comed
down and took dc linehpiu outer of Fario’s
charriot, and Fario fell into do see,” an ex-
cited sister in the gallery rose up and cried,
“Dar, my Lord.’ ’
It has been in the power of the humblest

the government.) “We do not propose to
refuse to vote supplies to the government.
We wish to get our legislation through, in
reference to elections, and everything else,
if we can constitutionally, but if we cannot
get it through under all constitutional sanc-

like loyal representatives and go home.” But,

that sentence has not been uttered by a sin-

_A few extracts from the great number re.
carved. by the most eminent musicians in the
United. States may not be inappropriate:
I have never seen a Piano which equals the
Weber Pianoforte. Geo. I”. Bristol:
The Weber Piano occupies justly the first
rank amongst the Best Pianos. J. .N. Pattz'wn
The Weber Pianos cannot possibly be sur-
passed. S. B. Mills.
I used the Weber Grand Piano because I
consider it the best in the world.
. Harry Sanderson.
The Weber Piano possesses everything that
can he wished for in a Piano. 0. W. Morgan.
The Weber Piano ranks foremost amongst
the best manufactured. William Mason
‘ The Weber Pianos stand first amongst the
splendid Pianos produced in this Country.
Clara N. Brinkerhof
A ten years’ experience satisfies me that
the Weber Pianos are nuapproachuble.
- John Zundel.
I would call especial attention to

this instrument—Independent.
Vastly superior to anything of the kind I
have ever played upon.—- Wm. A. King“
The Esty Organs are without a superior.—
Geo. Jar-dine, Organ Builder, N. Y. ,

The Fall has come, and now I all:
For none of these.
Not even love, that gift more fair
Than any earthly boon
Do I crave now. I've learned to give
With, no return.
Only, at morning and at night,
One fervent prayer is mine,
“God, give me strength to hear my pain
And make no sign. ' -
I hate the wild and weak complaint
That shows its beggar-3’ sores, ‘
The restless moaning of life's lea
_ About its shores.
God, give me strength just to keep still
Till that glad day, I feel
Thee set upon my lips for aye,
Death’s close sweet teal!

On this side Jordan's wave:
In a vale in the'l'aud of Mosh. ,
There lies a lonely grave ;'
And no man dog that sepulchre,
And no man saw it 'er, _
For the angel of God upturned the sod
And laid the dead man there. '
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth,
But no man heard the trampling

Noiselcssly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done;
And the crimson streak onocean’s‘cheek

Perchance. the lion stalking
asau shuns that hallowed spot,
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.

His comrades in the war ,
With arms reversed and muffled drum

They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won, '
And after him lead his masterleu steed,

Shall break again—most wondrous thought—
Beforc the judgment day,

And speak of strife that wongunllfo
With the incarnate Son of God: "

Speak to these curious hearts of ours,
And teach them to be still,

Ways that We cannot tell;
He hides them deep, like the secret sleep
