ABOUT TARANrULAs.-A statement in one
of our cotcmporafies, to the effect that taran-
tulas cannot bite unless the skin is RAISED in
a ridge for them to bite through. having met
the eye of a friend of ours. and having found
one of the reptiles the other day, he examined
his poisonous pincers. We took look by invi-
tation too. The fangs of the tarantula are
three-sixteenths of an inch in length, two on
the upper jaw and one on the lower MASKING in
bctween.the two above. Each is crooked, form
ing about the fourth part of the circle. and the
animal has power to throw them back far
enough to take respectable nip in the flesh
Tarantulas can bite, and "tarantula juice - is
reputed poisonous and unhealthy.

BELL-EvERETTERs IN THE CoCNTY.-A prop
ostion has been entertained by some of the lead
ing Union men of the county to select ticket
Legislature. The majority of the Bell men, it
appears are rather opposed to the selection of a
ticket by authority, and are favorable to leaving
every man to choose for himself. So far as an
Sykes seems to be REGARDED most favorably by
the Union men as a fit subject to represent Ne
vada county in the Senate. The other Republi-
can candidates for the Legislature cannot de-
pend upon the assistance of the Union men in
November with quite so much certainty. 1t is
probable, however, that they will get their share
of the votes lying around loose.

IMPORTANT NEws-IF TRUE-John T. Cren-
shaw, Esq, received tclegraphic dispatch
on Wednesday signed by Isaac l. Stevens,
chairman of the Breckenridge National
Central Committee, and dated New York
Sept. %, the purport of which is that Doug
las was fast losing strength in the South
and that his electors in Tennessee, Virginia.
Alabama, North Carolina and Mississippi
had declined to serve. In the opinion of
Stevens the fusion tickets in Pennsylvania
and New Jersey would succeed We under
stood the dispatch to have been sent to Dr.
Gwin originally.
How much reliance may be given the news
we do not propose to say. We do not see
any reason for doubling its authenticity as
far as Col. Crenshaw is concerned 1t may
have been coEcocted by some wicked wags
in Sacramento, and sent here as a dampener
on McDougal and McCorkle who were about
to address the disciples of st. Stephen when
the dispatch arrived. What gives color to
the suppositon that it is not genuine, is the
fact that the same pony which must have
brought it, if it was brought at all, did not
bring similar information, which would
have been the case had so important a move
been made on the political chess board as
the withdrawal of the Douglas electors in
five States; and besides the pony brings in
telligence that the Douglas Committee of
Pennsylvania had published a card in Har-
risburg denying that fusion had at any time
been entertained. The dispatch is probably
a sell.

Persannl-R dish.

We had the pleasure of visit yesterdar !
from Theodore D. Judah, a civil engineer
thoroughly versed in his profession, and
who is heavily interested in railroads in this
State. Mr. Judah is on his way over the
mountains to inform himself relative to the
practicability of the passes to the east OF
us for railroad purposes, preparatory to a
visit to Washington, When Pacific Rail-
road Bill shall be seriously entertained by
a Congress favorable to the project, it is
important that full and reliable informa-
ton should be had by the trainers of the
bill concerning the central routes. The
scientific knowledge which Mr.. Judah will
obtain from personal observation, and his
acquaintance and standing at Washington,
may be OF immense benefit to us ultimate
ly. Therefore it is that we hail the trip
now being made by Mr.. Judah as one of
important bearing on our interest railroad
wise.
Another object of Mr.. Judah in visiting
vation he has found that a railroad may be
constructed from Centralia, to n point on
an average grade of 68 feet to the mile. 1t
is ascertained also, that from that point to
Nevada the average grade of a railroad will
not exceed forty feet to the mile. These
facts prompt the inquiry-Would it not be
well to procure survey to Dry Creek from
this city, inasmuch as Mr.. Judah proposes
to make the survey from Centralia TO Dry
Greek Immediately and at his own expense?
If railroad be practicable between this
city and Gold Hill, land if the grades used
on the Virginia Central road be any criteri-
on, it is practicable then the advantage to
the California Central Road is, ut least
that of time. For, whereas years will be
required to build the line of road between
Folsom and Auburn, the road from Folsom
to Centralia will be completed by the first
day of January next-so VIC are informed
All things being equal, it is evident the in
terest of Nevada is to connect with rail-
way already built rather than wait two
years and at the expiration of that time
have to construct quite as much road as is
required to connect with tho Central road
at this time But we have not space to
write in erten,0 this week on this important,
and, to us, interesting question.
Mr.. Judah is acting as agent of the Sac
ramento Valley Rail Road, and is offering
liberal inducements for teamstcrs to load
their wagons at Folsom rather than at
Sacramento. Teamstcrs are offered toll
free over the bridge near Folsom. free
pass to and from Sacramento and free
freight on the railroad till the Goth of the
present month. We hope teamsters will
avail themselves of these inducements
The reasons why the Sacramento Valley
Railroad should be literally patronizcd
have been given by us heretofore. They
are obvious

THE DIFFERESCE.-ln the Sacramento
Union, of Wednesday, is published speech
of Douglas at Jones Wood, New York, side
by side with one by Seward at Lansing
Michigan. The frequency of brackets in
closing "cheersj" applause" or the re-
marks of noisy individuals, in the speech
of the former; and the almost entire alb
scence of the same in the latter will be
readily remarked by the reader. Does any
one suppose this difference is to be account
cd for on the supposition that the cause of
Douglas is more popular IN New York
than that of Seward in Michigan? The
most probable explanation is found in the
fact that the Republicans are orderly, read
ing and thinking people, not given to clap
trap, bad whiskey &c. and perhaps Seward
mar anv his friends had given an intima-
tion accompanied with dollar, that plen-
ty of parenthetic phrases by the reporter
would be appreciated. There is certainly
rothinp in The subject matter OF the speech
of Douglas that sensible people need get
Wild about. They may have been capu-
vated, however, by the farce.

More LoGIc.-Thc Democrat argues, be-
cause we stated that the members Of hose COM
pany No. l., were citizens and taxpayers, the
were neither. Well, if this be good logic, we
arc in danger of having fight on our hands

Transcript boys were white men, would it fol-
low that the Democrat boys were niggcrs? No,
no, Mr.. tri-weekly; correct your logic and be
not quite so eager to get No. and ourselves at
loggerheads.

THE ancient copy of Virgil, preserved in the
Vatican at Rome, is considered the finest ilumi-
mated manuscript in the world. 1t contains fifty
paintings, five of which, however, are very badly
defaced. One of these, still bright and clear,
represents Achates and Eneas inspecting the
works undertaken by Dido for the beautifying of
Carthage, and another, King Latinus receiving
the ambassadors of Eneas. Mechanics and ar
tizans at work, the instruments they used, and
sculptures they wrought, are here preserved for
the modern eye. This manuscript is supposed
to date to the fourth century.

THE GREAT MErRoPoLIs.-London now covers
l2l square miles, having increased three-fold
since the year 1900 and bricks and mortar still
invade the green fields. The population,
according to the report of the Register General
augments at the rate of one thousand per week,
half by birth and half by immigration. Not
withstanding the enormous wealth of the me-
tropoli,, it is recorded in the Register Generals
report, as a remarkable fact, that one in six of
those who leave the world die in of the
public INSTITUTIONAL workhouse hospital, asy-
lum or prison. Nearly one in eleven of the
deaths is in workhouse This shows that pow
erty follows close at the heels of wealth and
fastens on the multitude with relentless grasp.

THE ARCH EILLBUSTER TO BE SHOT.-Ihe
most important news, and that which gives
TO every American jealous of his country 5
honor, unusual joy, is the report that the
piratical career of the sol dtsaat, Gen.
Walker is about to be brought to an end.
The information was brought to Havana by
n Spanish war steamer from Truxillo, that
Walker, and his men, eighty in all, had been
captured nnd delivered over to the Hondu-
ras authorities who had permitted the men,
many of whom were sick and destitute to
return to the United States on their parole
of honor, reserving Walker and Colonel
Rudler to be shot, Thus, in all human
probability the 'deStiny' of the gray
eyed man." is IN fat accomPli.
Never since the United States became
nation has so pestilent creature as this
Walker been produced on American SOIL
or one who has so disgraced the American
name. 1t is high time his high crimes met
their just reward. He has merited the exc
cutioner thousand times. The tropical
soil of Central America has been drenched
with innocent blood by his command
Butchery, starvation, brutality and pillage
have been his fellow travellers wherever his
footsteps have gone. "Whoso sheddeth
mans blood, by man shall his blood be
sheds a just rule when applied to
Walker. For the honor of our common
country we hope the pirate will not escape
from justice His life has been forfeited
let if be taken for the good of mankind.
