C. DOANE, Publisher. ..rKK. INDIANA Virginia Cltj, Nevada. (Corn-f I'l'iplriire New York Nun. Twenty years ago there was no city here, nor ")' inducement to build one. l.wn an Indian would have starved to death in this bleak and unproductive r"i"n. Nothing grows here except with more careful nursing than hii Pa-ti tii l.il3 bestows upon her favorite house plan1. Not 11 green thing greets the eye after leaving me oeu in 1 no ('ar-on Kiver except occasional patches of sag" brush, and even that is stinted in its growth, ami shows only an vxilt.jry f,,r gren. There are no natural water onuses up here; no rain through the summer months, and no lack of it, or snow, during the winter; no birds, no reptiles, no game, no life other than what has immigrated here with the city. Hut the oyerllow of gold hunters from the other side of the mountains finally, in lH.r)7, invaded this desolate region, smd, discovering deposits of the precious meta:s here, the town quickly followed. Ami now Virginia City itself boast. a population of !- t han UO.Umi, while the suburban mining towns of I1 Hill, silver City, lKiUoti, Devil's (late, and other settlenit'iits near at hand, will add L'0,000 to tilt" niiii-bel. ()! Seal" .igot'ii.-. Jilt-sent month, three-quarters of Virginia City was destroyed by tire; but already that fearful drawback has been overcome, the traces i.f the court igratiou have been obliterated, and the number of buildings now probably exceeds what it was before; that disaster. Hut, as I remarked before, this is a queer place, and but for the silver and gold upon which it is built it certainly would never have been attempted. Its site is a precipitous slope facing the east. There is not natural level enough in arid hboiit the place to turn a wagon on. The principal streets run north and south, parallel with the face of the mountain, and by means of terraces it is practicable to make, a fair grade on these, though that is not done ; but on the lateral or cross streets there is no attempt at grades, and the hills, in consequence, are fearful to contemplate. The slope is at an angle of about M degrees with the hoii.on, and as a consequence teaming is a di.licult undertaki..f.. One-horse establishments are a r.ir.tv, only e a 1 ployed for the lightest purposes, four and six horses being) m ii'h more common, while for heavy j woik 12, 11 anl 10 horses are em- j ployed. These unwieldy teams are very I numerous, bt ing met at every turn, j They are regularly employed in hauling ore, whm1, hay and similar weighty j slut!, and manage to move from one to two ton at a load, varying according to the distance ana character 01 me road to be traversed. There are no pavements in the city, and beyond the immediate centers of business, no sidewalks. Man and beast are on a common footing in mot of the thoroughfares, and the beast has rather the best of it, since he cares nothing for the fathomless mud that tills the streets in winter, or tLe equally deep and wonderfully tine dust that covers them in summer. The population of the place is a queer as its location, surroundings and general appearance. 1 he miner is, of course, a Irg clement, but ny no , meat; the only one. There are about 7,' W of this hardy, industrious, goodnatured cla.s employed in the mines within anil immediately about the city; but as one-third of these are constantly under giound, another third asleep, leaving only a third of T,(0) visible at any time to" the naked eye, it is manifest that there are other large classes here to n.ake up the throngs that fill the streets at all times. I use the term "all times" utiderstandingly, for in one respect, and only one, this place resembles the heaven which the Hvangelist aw in his viion there is no nig! t here. Not that it does not get dark, bi t the darkness and the light are both alike. Neither is there any Sunday here. Hut day in and dy out, at morning, noon and night, the occupations of the town goon in uninterrupted continuation. I'lic workmen in the mines are employed in three shifts of eight hours each, and as that i the principal legitimate or useful employment of the place, all other vocations are governed by its rules. The man who works eight hours underground requires eight hours sleep, and then is prepared to enjoy eight hours of other diversion. And ns there is alwa) s one shift at work and another shift taking its test, so thcie is the third shift attending to pcr. nal matter, seeking amusement, or loafing. Aim the three change about with the regularity of clockwork, keeping all thu a tivuie and callings oi the place in constant employ. The miners are 7,"t'0. Then there are a few superintendents, agents, arid bosses, with their families; a small colony of necessary shop-keepers, grocerymen, butchers, and similar honest members of society; a few railroad employees, teamsters, and day laborers; some Chine,, l uindrymen, wood sawyers, and general dnidgers; the fragments of a tribe of laZ), shiftless, l'lute Indian, and what else? (JoonC Street the mam business avenue and you w ill see . For nearly a mile in extent eithT side of this street is lined w-ith what out of compliment are railed " business piaees." More than half of the-e establishments are devoted to the sale of wlnskyaiid itsi.ccoinpaninicnts; and every respectable gin-mill has a rear attachment where gambling is

openly carried on, the only requirement of iIih law or municipal regulation being a license which can be obtained by the payment of a moderate fee. In theso convc iib-iit places the tiger lurks and disports himself at all hours of the day and on all da)s of the week, with the same disregard of hours or M asons that characterizes the working of the mines. Karo, roulette, keno, the various games played with dice, and all other forms of gambling are here indulged with open doors ard under the protection of the law. The mining companies pay out h:lf a million dollars monthly in iro'.d coin to

j their employees. Can any body com1 pule w hat percentage of that sum goes j into the coders of these licensed sharks? 1 The community of professional gam blers, it wilt b readily seen, is quite a large one, and forms a very influential, if not respectable, portion of the population, l'ass from C to 1) Street, and another of the peculiarities of Virginia City life is unfolded to view. Here licensed vice, and what is elsewhere held to be crime, in another form holds her sway. ( hrlstiun Vassals of Turkey lVrsecub intjr the. Jews. A few weeks ago live Jews were ordered to leave their homes in Koumania without delay, and this command was followed by a similar order referring to all Isr aelites residing in villages in the l'utnu district, where the fiveco-religion-I ists had also lived. In one place souia Jews contrived to bribe the sub-prefect, and were then permitted to remain unmolested. The farmers in the whole di.triet have been authorized by Coveminent oflb ials not to pay any debts I which may bo owing to Jews, and it need hardly be stated that this authorI ity has been sia.ed with avidity. Nuni- ' hers of persons have been mercilessly robbed without being able to obtain I any re.lre-s, the magistrates informing the hapless victims that they have no right to settle in Koumania. In the l'utnu district there are eighty-four

Jirih World. in A Mik'ht Mistake. There's a good story, and a true one withal, relative to Mr. (Jill, long reporter for the Boston l's(, and well known as a fellow of intini'e jest." He was reixTtinsr a dinner of the sev enty-fifth anniversary of the battle of Bunker's 1 1 all. I he dinner was a splendid allair, and every body was patriotic, dill, when the excitement was at boiling point, whi-pered to a friend, one of those gci.tlcruen who are alw ays "happy" in speech-making, that his father was engaged in the battle of Bunker's Hill. The orator arose made a brilliant speech alluded to dill's fat her and (.ill in the highest terms, and proposed iiiii s neaun, w nu n was iiruia with the usual honors, and one or two more. I here were shout ot "lull, (Jill," and lie made a speech, returning thanks in the usual manner, and said, "But my learned friend omitted one fact an important fact of which he might have been unaware. My father was in the battle of Bunker's Hill, but lie, unfortunately, fought on the British side!" There was not quite so much enthusiasm afur that, and (Jill has not indulged in speeches since. Yonktr$ Oa: Uc. Disgraceful Scene at a Funeral. A dispatch from Seranton, Pennsylvania, October 'jo, says: One of the most disgraceful scenes ever witnessed iu this vicinity occurred nt Dunmore, a short distance from this city, to-day, w here two men, who wi re a'oout to lower a eotlin into the grave, wrangled ami engaged in a desperate and bloody fight. Thcro was a large assemblage in the graveyard at the time, and the fiiends of the Jcccased, disconsolate with grief, were weeping bitterly and bemoaning their bereavement, when the solemn scene was brokr i up by the revolting quarrel. Th combatants, to make the matter still worse, were brothers-in-law, who bad dug the grave into which the dead was about to be consigned, anl the cause oi me dispute . . ..... i was a dilVeience of opinion as to its cor reel construction. After a few short. angry retors they struck each other, ami one of the men knocked his opponent into the grave. He was soon out again, however, and, enraged to the point of desperation, rushed at his assailant, and, despite the protests and entreaties of the shocked and startled multitude, the fight was cortinucl fiercely for some minutes until the bleeding comb it ants were eventually separated by main force.

the extent it did these Mormons. It is su-ceptible of the strictest proof that Smith, in an attempt "to walk on the water," got his foot oil' the plank iust below the surface for him to

walk on. and went all over into the creek. The saints rushed in to his rescue, concealed the plank, or tried to, and laid his failure to a want of faith. He once undertook the practical operation of casting out the devil, and a devil of a time they hail. The facts in this attempt exceed all Motion. I t me state them just as they were stated to me by an eye-witness, Dew itt Miller, cow living in Willoughby, O. " The etf rt was mad.! in a log school' I house in the above-named town adjoin ing Kirtland, and a long, lathy, big, open-mouthed fellow by thi name of Ichahod Crandall, who had never found a wonder too bi for him to swallow, j was selected a.s the victim to have the j devil cast out of. Smith preached a preparatory sermon explaining the proj ce-s of casting out and the divine nature i of the power he proposed to use for that imrpose. The meeting had been appointed for the purpose oi snow ing this divine power. After the sermon the benches were all set back to the walls and a ring of the faithful was nans nuu a ii.i,; i formed in the center, ali on their knees and facing inward, with Smith and Crandall in the circle, Crandall lying fiat on his belly and making the most unearxfov groaning Smith then said ho should issue orders f .rthe devil to come out. The fir- t u oul l be mild and twruaste. me secomi imi i iur, u 1 I a - the third such that the licit couldn t uy away any longer. 1 nese orders he proceeded in a gruff, loud voice to give, and with the exact effect pre..Tibeil. The devil came out ..1 1 . 11 t . ..... 1 .1 .......:Ri at me 1 ai can. uui inseau w tuiumg frora Crandall he came from a grain sack held by this same man Denton, at the corner of the oi l stone chimney. and was nothing more nor less than a bif black cat. The cat. tin lin? itself in a strange place, set up a great cater1 wauling; this brought a yelp from several dor and a hoiit from twice as 1 r .... . t . . 1 . many boys. 1 ne cat, ana me nogs auer it, went round the room as though the devil was indeed after both, when the Mxir was opened and the cat and Jogs went out and the tovs alter. inecat was treed, the tree cut down, and the cat killed. I give this as one of the actual circumstances that t.K.k place at the time of the Mormon residence in Kirtland, and the statement can to-day be verified as the truth by witnesses now living in Willouglby, Ohio.

Her clothes were burned from her body, and her shoes were charred to a crisp. Here injuri. s were fatal. When the mother was thus compelled to turn li.u k from her children, they were in the horrible agonies of death. There was nothing found of ! their remains except portions of their spinal bone which ould be recognized Mr. Starkweather w;vs a hard-working farmer, and had accumulated a comfortable home and property with hopeful prospects of the future." His barn, hay, corn, pranery, all his out-buildings were also burned. The pleasant family and comfortable home which he had left in the morning he returned to find all swept away. The por man is nearly insane. The late Ilufus Choate i described in a late number of the Albany Law JonrmHiA a man six feet in height, with a powerful chet and shoulders and gaunt frame. His hand and feet i l .il . I :.. II a : were large, ana ie waikea wiui a mull 1 ing gait. His face, of a bilious, coffeeI coiortd complexion, was ilieply cor rugated with wrinkles and hollows, and ' hi eyes large, deep-set, and wonder- ' fuliv expressive.
