THE LATE BISHOP TIMoN.-The Buffalo
On. " Express thus kindly and honorably
speaks of the late Catholic Bishop Timon of
Buffalo:
Twenty years ago next Fall he came among us a
humble and poor bishop, now he leaves us humble
and poor as ever but with a diocese containing asy
lums for nearly every form of human misery, and a
cathedral of indispensable grandeur. = His
whole life was energy work, self-sacrifce. At the
advanced age of age of seventy-two Bishop Tmon
was remarkable man. Few men of his day have
done so much in favor of religion and humanity.
Few will leave behind them so many grand monu-
ments Of charity

EsMERALDA.-The operations of Win
tiers & Co. upon the Juniata lode has
developed q large and well defined ledge
of good ore, at a greater depth than any
other mine has been worked in the dis
trict, and the indications are such as to
strengthen the opinion long entertained
by many, that if the principle lodges
here were worked to any considerable
depth, ore would be found in paying
quantities. We have good reasons for
believing that the perseverance of par
ties interested in mining operations in
this immediate vicinity will in all prob
ability during the present season bring
to light some Of the hidden treasure Of
the surrounding hills. If such should
be the result, it will give an impetus to
mining operations heretofore unknown.

A DRISKER's LoGIc.-Some time ago,
says the Grass Valley National, W. re-
hearsed the logic which a certain hard
drinker used in vindicating himself to
his wife. Another case has come to our
knowledge, and We hasten to record it,
although with a lack Of the mellow way
in which the case was reasoned by the
''prisoner at the bar" Said he: "Wife,
you're opposed to my drinking. You
say l will die, if I keep On. Well, if I
kick the bucket, l turn pail, don't /?
But, when do / turn pale 2 turn pale
when::I'm dead. But, look at those fell
lows who don't drink l. They turn pale
before they are dead. Take some of
these Congregational and Methodist
preachers. They look like belated
ghosts, who are afraid they won't get
back to their graves in time to escape
the cock-crow. They are paler than the
shrouds they are going to be buried in.
How can q man help but die, and that
pretty soon, when he is as pale as the
deadest man in the world, while he is
going along at his every days work?
Give M something that puts vim and
life into me- Give me something that
will heighten my color and make, me
look like q live man? That's what I
want" His wife replied: You look

The LAST MOMENTS OF THE NEVADA
LEGIsLATURE.-The Legislature conclud-
ed its session of twenty days last even-
ing at eight o'clock. We were nursing
a turkey dinner at the time and failed
Of witnessing the 'death-bed scene. In
some respects it vas touching; in others
it was commonplace and wanting in in
terest. "They passed a town-site law,
amending the State law to conform to
that of the United States" so say some
imperfect notes Of a spectator, which lie
before US. ALSO m appropriation bill'
so say the said notes. The generous,
good natured Assemblymen, making
Julien their mouth-piece, gave Speaker
Ferg. a handsome gold watch. Julien
did the thing up briefly and handsomely
and Ferg. responded in a timely way.
The general tenor Of the responsive re-
marks was playful and the frailties of
mankind got a s~easonable ventilation.
The closing scenes were not remarkable;
and the breaking up was much less graf
ing to the feelings than the throes Of
dissolution which are observable upon
the face of nature when a hard New
England winter is brought to a sudden
and frost-dispelling termination. We
guess the country is now comparatively
safe.-Carson Appeal Of this morning.

WHAT IT AMOUNTED TO.

The Carson City telegraphic reporter
Of the Sacramento Union of yesterday
morning, gives the following brief sum-
mary Of the doings of the investigating
corruption committeeman whose do
ings, so far as official action thereon
was concerned, amounted to nothing.
The following embraces more than has
been published before:
The Senatorial corruption inyestiga-
ton was continued in the House. Pot
ter Of Storey, testified that William f.
Hale had offered him a life insurance
policy If he would vote for Nye. Hale
shortly after sent in an affidavit that
Potter's statement was q falsehood, and
verbally offered to settle with him on
the outside. Bence Of 0rmsby testified
that he was offered $4,000 to vote
against Nye, and that particular friend
Of himself and belong had solicited a
secret interview with him. Parker OF
Storey, testified that A. X. Grim had
importuned him TO vote for belong, as
he had q good deal Of money invested
in such a way that unless DeLong was
elected he would stand no show in
getting il back. He also testified that
after the Democratic leaders had united
on De Long, that Lisssk, of Storey, told
him he would support belong no lon
ger, nor any other man who received
that support. Lammou, of Storey, tes-
tilted that he was offered a position in
the Carson Mint, on its completion, and
So, 900 besides, if he would vote for
Nye he refused to give the name Of the
party making the offer he understood
there was plenty of money to secure the
success Of belong; the night before the
election he would have given $1,000
himself for that purpose. T. B. Winston
testified that he was offered a large sum
Of money TO get n member from Orms-
by to vote against Nye. Senator Mason,
Of Esmeralda, testified that q woman
had asked him how much he would take
TO vote for Nye. Tennent, Of Lander,
testified that his colleague, John Dorsey
(Dem.) had confessed to him that he
had put up the job to get Cullen, his
other colleague, robbed Of $1,000, which
he had in ~greenbacks, in order that he
might iutimidate him, and with $500
more buy him over to vote against Nye
and for belong. Robert Hannegan tes-
tilted that he had offered Horton, Of
Ormsby, almost anything within the
control of belong if he would vote for
him and against Nye, but that Horton
had refused. To-day the whole matter
was indefinitely postponed. Since that
that time Horton has prepared a written
statement that he was offered So, 600 to
vote for belong. Other afidavits will
be in your reporters hands in a day or
two.

CHoLLAR-PorosI.-We are under obli-
cations to C. C. Thomas, Esq, for q
printed pamphle, setting forth the finan'
cial condition of this company, which
certainly seems encouraging to stock
holders, who may congratulate them
selves on the prospect of realizing some
dividends from their shares before long,
The item which appeared yesterday in
our local column, regarding the guam
tity of rich ore taken from the mine, fol
some time past, and the entire absence
of q distribution Of ''kale seed to the
shareholders, was suggested to our To-
cal reporter by several Of the stockhold'
ers, as a means to let the officers know
that they were in expectation Of some
thing before long. Mining stockhold'
ers sometimes prefer hints thrown out
through the newspapers In preference to
doing their growing at headquarters.

DIsaRAcEruL PRAcTIcr.-The Yreka
Journal has the following notice of some
s~coundrsls in that city:
Some human feuds in this commu.
nity, possessed Of q contemplate and
mean spirit to annoy and ipjure respect
able young ladies, are in the habit Of
writing fictitious letters to gentlemen
over the ladies' names. Californians as
a general thing, even the lowest, have
always made it a point to respect and
admire those who walked in the path Of
rec.itude, but it seems that there are
some miserable specimens in Yreka dis
posed to break down the barrier between
vice and infamy by assailing the inno-
cent in a sneaking and cowardly man
ner, without giving the opportunity Of
striking back. This practice is worthy
of ventilation by u Grand Juries and
Courts, and If the offenders fail to get
their deserts there, a coat OF tar ana
feathers would be none too good for
such miscreants.

THE DIFFERENCE. - The Richmond
Times, speaking in an ironical strain Of
our forefathers, says:
The>frst, with brazen audacity, an.
nounce the following hideous dogmas
to be ''%self-evident truths"-doctrines
which the more loyal and enlightened
legislators now in session q Washington
utterly spurn and contemn: LIST. "That
all men have inalienable rights" I'd,
"That among them are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness" Sd. "Tha'
all governments should derive theil
powers from the consent Of the govern.
ed" 4th. That ''whenever q govern
ment becomes destructive Of these ends,
it is the duty Of the people to abolish
it."
Both of our forefathers and the "mors
loyal and enlightened legislators now IN
session at Washington" are agreed
that sail men" means all men. In the
Tines vocabulary, however, call men,
means all except black, yellow, or REQ
men-in other words, about one-twen'
tieth part of the human beings on earth,
and 40 more.

SPRIYa.-We presume all of our read
ers have felt the revivifying influence of
the approaching Spring in years gone
by, but if we are not much mistaken
the Clerk Of the Weather intends to
cheat Aurora out of a cheerful Spring
and give in lieu a dreary and dismal
Winter. The snow which lies from one
to ten feet deep will probably remain
with US for q few'days to remind us of
the long and .dreary Winter we have
been passing through. The general ex-
preston is :''when will the winter end ?"

by the Lower House Of Congress yes

enact a law making it felony to sell men
