Is He WOMAN OR IS SHE MAN p
Mile. Zoyara or Master Zoyara, the circus
rider is Il difficult problem to solve. Some
contend that he is not female, while others
are equally certain that he is not a man.
Even students in anatomy, who cut up peo-
pie more savagely than critics, differ upon
this point, and there is no end to the disputa
ton. A few evenings since, couple of very
shrewd Bostonians resolved to settle the
mystery, and a heavy wager having been
laid, they started In search of decision,
which was to be based upon a well known
peculiar physical habit which pertains to the
sexes and which is briefly this: 1t is sin
guar fact that if you throw an orange to
lady, she will involuntarily extends the folds
of her dress to afford the largest lap for it to
fall in, while if you throw an orange to n
gentlemln the result is the revorse, for he
Immediately closes his knees to prevent its
falling to the ground should he not catch it.
As both of the parties admitted this fact
which may be tested by our readers-they
sought an interview with Zoyara, which was
with some difficulty obtained, when one of
the gentlemen. under some pretence, threw
an orange, which she received according to
the feminine theory above stated. knowing
winks were exchanged, but, in order to be
sure a second was thrown, when, wonderful
to relate, the masculine order of closed knees
took place. The youths were dumbfounded,
and they left still in doubt whether the benu
tiful Zoyara is he or she, and convinced that
there are exceptions even TO their anatomical
rule Of orange receiving.

AFFAIRS IN WAsHoE.-A correspondent of
an exchange paper, writing from Carson City
May 18th, says, after speaking of the defeat
of the whites at Pyramid Lake:
This difficulty has caused an intense excite.
ment here, and led many to leave the coun-
trv. 1t is believed that one-fourth of the
entire population has returned to California.
while the immigration for the past week has
pretty much ceased. Business of every kind
has suffered severely mining operations have
been brought to an entire stand STILL Prop
erty has also deprecated materially in price.
and, with the prospect of general and pro-
tracted Indian war, everything wears a
gloomy and discouraging aspect at present

only awaiting the arrival arms and amnuni-
tion from California to enter on the campaign.
A company of twenty men, armed with
Minnie rifles, reached here Yesterday, and
were escorted by troop of horse to Virginia.
Other aid was also expected at the latter
place, yesterday, from Nevada, Downieville,
and other places in that quarter We are in
need of arms and ammunition, however,
rather than men-the population here being
amply sufficient to protect themselves against
any force the indians can bring against them
and to even carry the war into their own

ANOTHER JuDsoX AFFAIR.-Uuder this
headinga late number of the Detroit Free
Press relates the following:
A young girl seventeen years of age,
daughter of Mr.. Hiram L. Stout, of the town
of Sharon, eloped day or two since with
negro boy who was in the service of her
father, and it is thought, has gone with him
to Canada. The sable seducer's name is Bill
Strong, and he is about twenty y-three years
old. The girl is an intelligent, well educated
female, and no reason can be assigned for her
conduct, except that her father is an Aboli-
ZIONIST of the nnaduterated stripe, and
taught, as the repentant Judson did, that
negro was little better than anybody else
The parents are nearly distracted over the
oecurrance, and are making every effort to
recover their daughter. She has always been
looked upon with esteem and respect, and
the whole community were taken by surprise
when tho facts were revealed.

THE WHITE FLAG.-A correspondent Of the

relative to the fight near Pyramid Lake,
says
A report has been prevalent here that an
Indian was seen approaching with white
flag. The individual who spread this rumor
is one of the returned heroes, but all the
men who have arrived since (he was one of
the first,) assert that this pretended flag was
nothing more nor less than battle axe which
an Indian brave was brandishing over his
head. A man with telescope rifle ascer-
tained this first, and then fired on the brave
This was the signal for the Indians opening
their fire.

"Thc man who is his own advocate has

the author of this book General Walker,
surrounded by the reserve which he took care
to maintain towards those who took service
under him. was parsonage of underlined and
undefneable mental proportions and he con
sequently passed current with the public for
certain amount of capacity. His memoir
will prove fatal to the reputation, such as it
is, that he has acquired, inasmuch as it is
shown that man may occupy large space
in the eye of the world without having much
in him."
