a quarrel when he could reasonably keep out of it. Indeed. It was com- monly said that whenever one of Scot- ty's fights was investigated, it always turned out that it had originally been no affair of his, but that out of native goodheartedness he had dropped in of his own accord to help a man who was getting the worst of it. He and Buck Fanshaw were bosom friends for years, and had often taken adventurous “pot- luek" together. On one occasion they had thrown off their coats and taken theweaker side in a fight among strang- ers, and after gaining a hard-earned victory turned and found that the men they were helping had deserted early, and not only that, but had stolen their coats and made off with them. But to return to Scotty's visit to the minister. m was a sorrowful mission, now, and his face was the picture of woe. Being admitted to the presence, he sat down before the clergyman, placed his fire. bat on an unfinished 1nanuscr1pt SET-l mon under the ministev's nose, took from it a red silk handkerchief, wiped his brow and heaved a sigh of dismal impressiveness, explanatory of his business. He choked and even shed tears; but with an effort he mustered his voice and said in luguhrious tones. "Are you the duck that runs the gospel-mill next door: l!" Am I thc----pardon me, I be, have I did not understand?” éay of Scotty, however, in passing, that he had a warm heart and a strong love for his friends, and never entered into After Buck Fanshaw’s inquest, a meeting of the shorthaired brother hood was held, for nothing can be done on the Pncific coast without a public meuingr and an expression of senti- ment. Regretful resolucions were passed,and various committees appoint- ed ; among others, a committee of one was deputed to call on the minister, a fragile, gentle, spiritual new fledging from an eastern theological seminary, and as yet unacquainted with the ways of the mines. The committeeman, "Seotty" Bliggs, made his visit, and in after days it was worth something to [ hear the minister tell about it. Scotty was a stalwart; rough, whose custom- ary suit, when on weighty official busi- hess, like committee work, was a. fire helmet, flaming red flannel shirt, pat- ent leather belt with spanner and re- volver attached, coat hung over arm, and pants stuffed into boot tops. He formed something of a contrast to the pale theological student. It is fair to Prodigiotis preparatinns were made for the funeral. All the vehicles in town were hired, all the saloons put in mourning, all the municipal and fire company flags hung at half mast, and all the firemen ordered to muster In uniform and bring their. machines duly draped in black. Now let us remark in parentheses-as all the people of the earth had representative adventu r- ers in the Silverland, and, as each ad- venturer had brought the slang of his nation or his locality with him, the combination made the slang of Nevada the richest and most infinitely varied and copious that had ever existed any- where in the world, perhaps except in the mines of California in the "early, days " Slang was the language of1 Nevada. ‘ Te was hard to preach a ser- mon without it, and be understood. Such phases as "You Bet !" "Oh, no, T reckon not y' "No Irish need apply," and a hundred others became so com- mon as to fall from the lips of a speak- er uneonsciously-and very often when they did not touch the subject under discussion, and consequently failed to mean anything. On the inques"t it was shown that Buck Funshaw, in the delirium of a wasting typhoid fever, had taken arse- nie, shot himself through the body, cut; his throat, and jumped out of a. four, story window and broken his neck , and after due deliberation, the jury, sad and tearful. but with intelli, gence unhlinded by its sorrow, brou,ght in the verdict of death "by the visita- tion of God." What could the world do with mt juries? There was a grand time over Buck Fanshaw when he died. He was a representative citizen. He had "killed his man,"--mots in his own quarrel, it is true, but in defence of a stranger unfairly beset by numbers. He had kept a sumptuous saloon. He had been the proprietor' of a dashing help- meet whom he could have discarded without the formality of a divorce. He had held a high position in the fire department, and been a very Warwick in pohties. When he died there was great lamentation throughout the town but especially in the vast bottom stratum of society. Somebody has said that in order to know a community one must observe the style of its funeruls and know what manner of men they bury with the most ceremony. I cannot say which style we buried with the must eelat in our "flush times," the disting- uished he'lefzwcor or the distinguished rough; possibly the two chief gr-ades or grand divisions of society honored their illustrious deed about equally ', and hence, no doubt, the philosuplwrl have quoted from would have rutederl to see two representative funerals in Virginia befor-e forming his estimate of the, people.
