This is the Gazette's indorsement of Mr. Cleveland for vetoing the dependent soldiers' pension hiii. Since the war many soldiers have bccome physically unable work. Muny "f them are in poor houses, and iu many instances are sufferine for the bare ueccessaries of life. This bill was intended to grant pensions to such soldiers. It passed both branches of congress by a large majority, and Cleveland vetoed it, and the Via^ettt le!ievea he did it on the "broad, general rule that honesty is the best policy." Is it honest for the government to allow decrepit soldier:- to live in poor houses, or if they are out, to go ragged and half starved?

"Well," said the uood-na-

"Yes we have a heavy train to-day, and this is a down grnde along here I think the train will run about 1,500 feet before it comes to a stop I'll carry you that far with pleasure.1' A minute or two later the seedy-looking man was jumping oft into the snow. "You're very Kind," he said, "to carry me even this far. But., been's we're both railroad men, you know, couldn't you change your mind and take me a little farther, ,''

Sorry I can't oblige you," replied the conductor, waving a "go-ahead" signal to the engineer,

THE STORY OF A PALACE.

THE MANSION BUILT BY A KINER IN THE WILDEBITKBS.

How Siudy ltowera Lavished II Wenlth on a Gorgeous aud lloj^UabU House. Ban Kraricieoo Post.

Bowers' mansion, half a mile from Fr2Dktown, Nev., is abo il to be torr. down, and the cut stout- of which it i-. built is to be taken to Reno and used In the construction if business house* He owned ten feet in the Bowers mine, now the Imperial Consolidated, and the lady he afterwards married owned as much more. The mine was one of the richest ou all the rich ComMoek lode, and Bowers became very wef-lihy. Io 1857 he married, and three yearn later went to Europe with his wife. They staid abroad three years, during which time Mrs. Bowers was presented to England's queen. While they were in Europe Mr. Johnson, Bowers' agent aud man of business, built the mansion for him. The material used was grauite. quarried from a mountain behind the spring which supplied the house with hot waier. Tbe mansion proper was sixtyfour feet wide aud eighty feet long, but or. each side was a wing eighteen by forty two feet. Before the mansion to the east stretched thf level Washoe Valley, nnd behind it rose, the pine-clothed mountains. The farm attached to the mansion comprised 180 acres, while the ^rounds belonging to the house measured but little less than four acres. Immediately before it wasa lawn, beaulifal and well kept. In the center of this was a hand some marble fountain, fed from springs 200 feet above it on the mountain side Two artificial lakes—one icy cold and stocked with trout- and goldfish, and one warm for bathing—were also attached to tbe beautiful grounds. They were kept tilled from natural springs cut a few yards apart back to the bills. In the middle of the fish pond was an island covered with verdtue, and in the very heart of the island Bowsers had raised a splendid bird house. The staple connected with the property, was a handsome two-story building, 110-74 feel, with a granite basement. Oil tbe grouuds were two separate natural groves of towering piue trees.

Tbe place was almost completed when Bowers and his wife returned to Nevada, aud in 1864 they moved into it. The building nnd furniture had cost tbe owiifrj $400,000. Bowers was liberal, and his wife even more so, and for the years that he presided at tbe mansion the most extensive hospitality prevailed. The house, iucluding an additional story built oti in later vesrs, contained sixtytoiii' rooms, furi.isbed in the richest possible manner. Moot of the furnish, inys were brought from Europe, and their quality may be estimated from the fact that now, twenty yearw after their purchase, tlie velvet carpet and grand lace .mriains are in use iu an aristocratic residence in thi city. Ou the ground floor there were two parlors, capable of being thrown fnto one large room forty two feet loni and nearly half as wide, Mrs. Bowers' bedroom, a bathroom, «ilhm»rble bstbing conveniences, and a reception room. One of the wings was occupied by Bowers' smoking-room and a dfiinly and well assorted library, containing hundreds of volumes. In the oilier wing was the dining-room, eighteen feet by twenty-four, and Ihekitcheu. A nursery, pantry, etc., were also attached. Tbe second floor was divided up into a billiard-room, twenty-four feet square, Ivvo elegant suits on either side of the wide ball, and some ten sinsle bed-rooms tor guests. A conservatory was built around oue side ol the house. The most expensive paintings adorned the walls, while tbeceuter-piecf8 aud. statuary were handsome in the extreme. The chandeliers were gorgeous—in keeping with the other furnishings of the house. Boweis had one child, a daughter. He tilled his place with guests and Ids stable with blooded horses, and until bis death, in IStiS, icvelry and mirth only wetc allowed within the palace.

His hospitality made sad inroids into his fortune, and three years after his death his widow was persuaded to build an addiliocal story on the bruise nnd rent it as a public resort. A dancing pavilion 110 feet Ion?* aud seventy-five wide was built in the groVe, tbe magnificent pine trees being ruthlessly felled to make way for it. Money was plentiful on theComstock tben, arid in a few years Mrs. Bowers was enabled to take the property back. But trouble bsgan to j.-Hther thick and fast about the beautiful ".lace. In 1374 the daughter, then a lovely girl af lti, died, and her mother was broken-hearted. Many took advanUoe of her, and she became poorer aud poorer. About ten years ago Ihe man vLois now about to tear the mansion down made an Attempt to get up a loitery scheme and raffle nil the bouse and furniture, together with the remnant of the plate and those of Mrs. Bowers' diamonds that yet remained to her. The scheme was not successful Peqple would not buy tickets for a smuiure that would only be au expense if won. Ho she kept it until if was taken bv a resideut of Reno named Lake for a mortgage for about one-tenth of the original cost. During all these years it was used as a picnic ground, but one by one its beauties faded and its attractions were destroyed. The elegant costly furniture was sold and replaced by cheaper things. The balh-houies were deserted and allowed to rot away. I he pipes to the fountain got out of gear aud were never repaired slime and weeds gathered thick in the fountain and ponds the pines were cut down. The building was so large that att#ntion could uot be given to all of it, and gradually a wornout, decaying, delapidated air grew over it. In parts of the house tlie beautiful staircases and other woodwork fell away tbe wind whistled in at the broken windows so distressingly that finally people would not even come to live in the habitable portion of the building.

A few years ago Lake died and tbe place passed into the bauds of the preseut owner. His tirst appearance at the place was some years before the mansion was built. Jle, in company with two other men, wandered there ragged and hungry. *One man's feet were frozen and bound up in guimysacks. Bownrs took them in and attended to their wants in a log cabin. Now this man is about to tear down the palace reared by Bowers on tbe identical spot.

Sandy Boweri and his daughter rest under tiie pinea on the hillside back of the mansion. Tbe grave* are covered with sagebrush and the fence about them has fallen to the ground.

Mine. Romero, wife of the Mexican minister, recemd this afternoon. Tbe special feature of the reception was the presence of a Mexican girl stationed in the recess window of the dining-room whore, surrounded by the various ingredients, she compounded chocolate in native style, which proved most interesting those clustered about. The pretty oirl was a typical Mexican, with smooth, olive complexion, bright color, dars eyes and black hair, which fell at the hack in two heavy plaito fsr below her waist. Twisted in with tho hair at the end, and jiiuinu the two plaits, was a narrow scarlet bhon. whih a bund of the same was tied around (hp head and finished with a bow on fop 0ycr a'red and white lawn dre^sjwas Worn a white sack and aprcn edged with a -ep, finely fluted ruffle. About tbe oec and cross over th? breast, was r, gor^tous silk handkerchief, iu which eveiy color of the rainbow vied for prominence. The girl, who was unable to *pesk a word of English, is member of the company of Mexicans now here, who have recently established th? unique show, the Aztec village, which has attracted a large number of Washs ingtoniar.R. O.i a square table, in fron: of the girl was :i native charcoal ttoVi--.f red exrlheuware, in tlt« shape of -i gputlemau's silk bar, and called by tbf Mexicans "braaero." A half moon* hole cut in what, weulu be the top part of the hat, nest tbe crown, furnishes the neetssarv place for a draught to keep the coals above, near the brim, warm aud glowing. The chocolate, which is iu large square cakes, is then broken finely into an earthen jar, cn one side of which is a handle. Into this jar is then put cream, sugar, tbe white of egg, and ciuoamon, which are adroitly mixed by a small implement resembling a churn -tick, which the girl moves rapidly ne tv/ecu her two hands by rubbing tl.em together, Tho compound, which in sp-pear-tKco ami consistency resemhirs the chocolate ordinarily prepared, is then thoroughly heated through by being placed on tbe glowing coals in the earthenware jar in which ii is mad-'. From this ii is transferred to the silver urn on the daintily-spread table ano .-ervt-d by tbe youtig lauiv'S presiding.

When Mr. Harris sits down to write a story, be has thought it out, after a fash ion. H'j his blazjd oui the main track, and certain details or incidents loom up in tha mind, guiding him unerringly from the starting paint to the end. it i« not to IHJ understood from this that Mr. Harris is a methodical worker. HP keeps no scrap books, no note-books, and be never blocks out bis work on paper. His preparations are purely mental, and be is in no hurry to lei! his story uutii it has tssutne'd such completeness iu bis miud, thae expression follows as a matter of course

Even when under full headway, be does not go forward with a rush. While he i- not not methodical—perhaps mechanical would express it better—be is always d-.'inerafe. This deliberation characterizes his mental process, bin speech, bis movements, aud his penwork. This deliberate habit is not so much constitutional as conscientious it seema to be the outgrowth of tense of duty.

Mr, Harris reaily bus not had the opportunity of deciding whether he finds literary work easier at one time than at another. The exigencies of journalism have forced him to devote the dsy to regular work, and tbe niuhl io the creations of his imagination. Under the circumstances bo is necessarily a busy man, and yet he tinds time !o kerp thoroughly acquainted with current and contemporaneous literature.

A short time a^o, Mr. Harris found that tbe use of either steel or gald pens caused a peculiar and unpleasant numbuess to make itself felt, in his wrist and urm. lie adopted the yoose quil as a subs'iiute, and sine: has suffered no inconvenience.

Anihors have their favorite mode of exercise. Mr. Harris, however, cannot be said to have any. Th» street car tide between his office and iiis home at West End, Atlanta, his daily pastimes with the children, and au occasional walk of a mile or two, constitute bis outdoor recreations. .Sometimes nature informs him that it is time to stop work, and then be tears himself away from the city and seel rf a few weeks' rest i.) tin? country, but this is rare thini.-. H** ban been a worker all his life, ami he is as likely to die -it bis desk as anywhere eke.

Mrs. Mary Harmon who lives live miles south of Huston, Mo. came in yesterdav afternoon bringing a pair ui line wild turkeys which she bud killed with her ride the day before. "Haw came you to kill them?" was asked. "Why, easy enough. There are plenty of wild turkeys in our locality. One of my littlo boys was out hunting rabbits about half a mile from the house. He saw a gang of turkeys, ife came back told me about it, and I just shouldered my kJuu aud started. I had not traveled far beyond the place designated when I was made hapny by espying a tine gang, I tired and killed this large one, and before they could a'.l escape I detained tbis one." "Tell me about some of your feats witii tbe ritie." "Well, I n*ver did but one piece of shooting that 1 am particularly proud of I once killed bear. It was a long while ago, when father lived near the head of a small stream th:it|empties into Big creek. One morning, early in the autumn, father left home for Houston, Mother was awav spending the day with her sister. 1 wss. left alone with a little brother aud sister. About 10 clock I heard tbe do.-s barking wildly in a cove about two hundred yards above the house. I seized the rifle aad hurried to to the scene. When 1 uo! there I found it was a hig hear. The animal was standins on its hind legs aud WHS constantly turning about, and now and then boxing a dog into last month. I was considerably frightened at first, but I took a little time to nerve myself. Tben 1 took goid aim, under tbe left arm, and fired. The bear fell awardly, rolled down hill into th* little stream, and when I made my cautious approach, he was dead.

Cobbler Versus Cock,

He whipped out everything on the plantation, and then wantec to lackle the yard dog. I was very prom &f him. Finally one day a stray turkey gobble- came ou the premises ami tool tip his abode there. For a dsy or tw there was no war. My rooster, it Is true, follow* tbe gobbler around and picked up gravel in frout of him, and once oi twice male a point of jnmpitig him but the gehbler seemed de termined to attend to his owr business. Abo.it the third mormon however, I heard a peculiar noise in tlv yard. 1 heard the queer'prut-prut-prut •-•f the gobbler, and tben something tha sounded like a scuffle. I raised •«indow and found that the gam chicken and the gebbler were engaged in war. I wanted to go out and keep th. rooster Irom killing the gobbler never less I was interested ia watching thresult, never doubiiug what ii wouii 'i. The roc-ster was full of fight tr.d made frequent atstulLs on th* gobbler. The latter was walk •rg around in a circle, uttering hit peculiar cry, and I noticed that even 'ime the rooster Hew at him he mer«*! dropped one uf the wings, receiving iht Utack on that 1'iiia continued S'IIBI time, until finally the gobbler darted forward, seized tbe rooster by the back 'be neck, aud proceeded to lead hiu around in a circle. The gobbler widened his circle until lie brought hit rooster in close contact with tha fence. This was apparently the point at whicl .he gobbler been aiming, for he •ooner retschtfd it tbau he proceeded t( uu my rooster's head against the pickets, and before 1 could iuturfere in} game chicken wa.- dead."
