DAN DKQUIIjljE AND MAHK TWAIN The Votcrnn Comstock Hoportrr on AVhom Clomoiis Used to IMnjr 1'rnctlc.nl Jokes. The nppcjirunco of Dan 1)6 Qnlllo as n contributor to a metropolitan contempo rary recall * thn fact that the Nevada Journalist who uses thu signature was , in the early days of Virginia City , the chum nnd very often tlio butt of Sam demons , othcrwiso Mark Twain. Tim t\vo men were icportors on the Territorial linter- prise , then , as now , the lead ing paper of thu Silver State. Dan Ie ) Qnillu is one of thu .simplest of men , kind hearted , absent-minded , and with a genuine wit of his own. His foul name Is U'right , but thosu persons who have known him longest have forgotten that he has a claim to any other name than that of Dan or Deqnille. Clemens used to set np all tiortsof practical jokes on Dan. They occupied the same room , and the saturnine humor , st , who never was n genial man , had always some trick to play on his companions. Usually too , it was un unkind one , which ; when inadu known , had a mortifying eflect on Mr. Wright. In tho'e davs it was Dan Du Qinilc , nnd not Mark Twain , who was expected to be successful as n wit nnd humorist. But for n certain habit Wright would probably have instilled his admircw. Do Qtiillc is , without question , the bust informed mining journalist in the United Status , and hu has thu least capacity also for putting his knowledge to any otlior nsu for his material advantage than earn ing the Bnlarr ho receives from thuttii - terpriso of Virginia City. Hu knows uverv foot of the Conntook lode , und can tell It * history from the silver discovery by thu brothers Grosel down to the pres ent borusca or barren period , when thu ruworking of thu upper levels for the low grades is now being carried on. What attractive and interesting remin iscences thu veteran could writu ! The history of Virginia City in full of the pathos , tragedy and comedy of human life. The lust of gold , the love of ntlven- ture , thu passion of the { rambler , the. ex citement of fortune hunting , the sudden nsu of men and their even more rapid downfall , thu tricks and ora.lt . of needy ami greedy adventurers , and thu strange , sad stories of the failures that have bestrewn thu day.s and nights of this strangu and exciting mountain mart , could find no more competent historian than Du Qnillu ; and if thu story shall ever bo freely and faithfully told , as he C n do it. it will form one of tlio most thrilling of histori cal episodes and pcrdonal narrations combined. Tin1 Comstock loilu hag produced over $200MHoiH ( ) ) in silver , and may do it. again , us it is asserted that a genuine sli ver lode never gives out Its barren days are not wholly unprofitable ones , and the sheen of its bonair/a hours have been golden enough to make avarice faint witli impossiblu greed.

A sm-eiuj from Pittsburg says : Roland - land H. bmith , councilman Irom the six teenth Ward returned ie terdny from Now York , to which e.ty ho went' in Mir- eranee of a project in which ho ami a ' number of Now'York capitalists are in terested , for carrying natural gas to Phil adelphia. "I am not ready to say much about tlio mutter yet. as it is only well be- gnn"said Mr Smith to-day , "but 1 will .sa.y , however , that such a scheme is per fectly practicable. To torco gas lo the cast it will ln > necessary to use pipes much larger tlian thos'o now in UMliere. . Of course the outlay tor such conduits will bo largc.'but I ho importation of possess ing such a fuel and illuminanl ns na tural gas to cities like Philadelphia and Now ork will be manifest , and the cost of conducting it only an incident of the enterprise. That it can bo dmui we feel ralislu.'d , nnd I think tlio demonsration : is not a matter of decades bv any mentis. I only came back Irom Washington n short time ngo , where I wns for some time prosecuting claims to two patents which I think will be issued in n very short time. " To supply railroad trains nnd locomotives with natural gas for luel is a part of Mr. Smith's scheme. In fact. it is said that ib wh.it Ins present pntcnts nro upon. It will bo done witli a system of tanks nnd tubing under the cars and in the tender of the locomotive. It is estimated tiiat one lillingot these tanks at Pittsburg would bo sutiicicnt to dnvo n train on tlio Pennsylvania railroad Irom Pittshiirg to Philadelphia nnd back. Of course , ns there i.s no natural gis : cast of the Alle gheny mountains , the supply would have to bo taken aboard between Pittsburg and ( ireensburg from the Murrayavillo or Taroiitum regions.
