his friends tor the This race is for more money

GoUaIYe AT CIsco.-We learn from
the Dutch Flat Enquirer that a savage
and brutal assault was committed at
Cisco on the 4th instant. The circum-
stances were as follows: During an ar
gument which took place between a
man named Harding and W. N. Rice
who formerly lived at Gold Run where
he kept a hotel-high words ensued,
when Harding standing upon a box,
caught Rice by the face, each hand or
the forefngers Of each hand extending
under Rice's jaws, his thumbs being
pressed into Rice's eyes, who was forced
down upon the sidewalk, whore Hard
ing succeeded in goGging out one Of his
eyes and so badly injuring the other as
is thought to completely destroy the
sight. The whole transaction was done
so suddenly that the by-standers had no
time to interfere before the mischief
wos completed. This is one Of the
most savage and brutal assaults that we
have ever been called upon to chronicle,
and the punishment due to the offender
should be meted out to him in a manner
as liberal as the commission of the
crime is henious. Harding was arrest
ed and examined before Justice Clney
and bailed in the sum of $1,000 fixed
for his appearance. So it would APP
pear that the penalty for wantonly de-
stroying a mans eyesight in Cisco is
only $1,000. We think the amount of
bail fixed, very light for such a crime.
$4,000 would have been none too
much.-Grass Valley National.

TT WAS rIaIE FoR A CHANGE.

Under this head, the S. p. Dispateh Of
Saturday has the following remarks,
which many old San Franciscans here
abouts will approve:
There 10 one result connected with the
late election which both vanquished and
yictors can congratulate themselves up
on. The City Hall will, in part at least,
change hands. The public had become
sick Of the close corporation which had
fastened themselves upon that municipal
institution. For eleven long years the
city offices have been mainly distributed
amongst a few ~barnacles, that chung to
their departments with a tenacity which
excited suspicion Of their'disinterested
patriotism. Through the influence off
small cabal, none but q select few had
the slightest chance to taste the flesh
pots upon which the so-called purity
crowd were feeding fat. The City Hall
had, in fact, become an asylum for'bro-
keu-down bsnkrupts, for solemn-faced
church-wardens, for loud-mouthed de-
criers of everybody outside of their own
contracted circle. There were not a few
disappointed aspirants for these. desir-
able positions who were coarse-minded
enoagh to suppose that the men, who
have become rich since they first ofici-
ally passed through the portals Of this
goal of municipal ofice-seekers, were
not over-scrupulous as to the means
they employed to accumulate their
wealth. II was no uncommon thing
to hear curious comparisons drawn
between the purity regime and
those who ruled the roast in the
palmy days Of Ned MCGOWAN. No.
body attempted to deny the rascality
which existed in the local government
when the latter were in office. Indeed,
the officials themselves did not attempt
to conceal their psculations. But it was
somewhat different with the purity
crowd. They were too smart to make
public exhibition Of their pecadilloes,
and knew how to cover up their tracks.
There 10 many n way besides downright
public stealing by which to acquire
money in the City Hall. 1t is we'll
known that the rich mon Of this city
are not at all taxed in proportion to the
poor citizens. The poor man who owns
a shanty and a lot on a by-street, is as
sessed to its full value, whilst the rich
importer has influence enough to escape
from the rolls with a levy upon one-half
and sometimes less than one-quarter of
his real possessions. If property were
assessed in this city as impartially as it
should be, the rate of taxation need
never have reached the enormous figure
of three dollars on the one hun
dred. If the change Of regime
will accomplish a reform in this regard,
it will have done much. At any rate,
whether it do or not, we shall be thank
full when the City Hall will have passed
into other hands than those Of the ''pu-
rity," under whose rule taxation and
clique nepotism have become almost
uncomfortable.

|. LAuaHABLE.-The following amusing
incident is related in the Cortland Ga
zette; A very q musing affair occurred
last Sabbath morning in a church not
-far from this village. The clergyman
was discoursing as %eloquently as the
state Of the weather would permit, yet
one of his auditors-a young lady-was
so overcome by the heat that she fell
asleep in the midst Of the discourse.
Those behind her were somewhat anus
cd, observing her efforts to keep her
head in a perpendicular position. The
Superintendent of the Sunday School
happening to look around just as the
lady's head was going over backward,
supposed she had tainted, and, spring
ing to his feet, called out to the Doctor
to stop and send down from his desk a
tumbler of water, which request was
Immediately complied with, and a CO.
pious supply Of water was administered
to tho somnolent young lady before she
had time to fairly recover herself. A
number Of sympathizing one gathered
about her, but she soon retired from the
audience room with q face too crimson
to comport with a fainting fit. When
she sleeps again in church, it will prob
ably be with n eye open.

NEW NAMES.

When the Railroad slides down into
and across Nevada, 3 great many new
towns will DO located and populated.
Permit US to ask the Railroad Company
who will feel like granting us most
any favos-not to allow on the line OF
their road, if possible, a re-duplication
Of California, or prominent Eastern
town or city names. And so we ask OF
the people. The proprietor Of the
new towns in Washoe and Humboldt
and Lander counties, they who lay the
new towns out, should adopt the In
dian names Of the neighborhoods in
which they survey, ifthere are any such
fixed and pronouucable. Of course,
there win be the Croker Gulch Sta
ton, andthe Stanford Knole Station, aud
the Huntington Ridge Station; but
when they are exhausted by application,
let the original Piute have a show in
the geographical christening Of Nevada.
We make this suggestion in ample
time. The Post Office facility and Ger
tainty thus obtained, is obvious to all.
Az the National Legislature is disposed
4 60 into considerable detail in recon-
structing the domestic affairs Of all
the States, North as well as South, we
wish they would pass a law prohibiting
the copying Of town IN by people Of
new States and Territories from the
older communities.

INTERIOR SAVINGS AND LOAN
SOCIETIES.

The following, from the San Fran
cisco Real Estate Circular, is an evidence
that Jul fellow-citizens in the interior
have at last awakened to a sense Of the
want Of those local institutions by
which a reasonable rate of interest will
be acquired by the depositor, besides
contributing materially. to the interests
Of those persons who may require mo-
ney for purposes Of permanent improve
ment. Those in want Of money in the
interior, are aware that money cannot
be borrowed here from institutions on
property outside of San Francisco, no
matter what may be its value, compell-
ing farmers and others to pay ruinous
rates for accommodations to heartless
money-lenders-the regulations OF our
savings institutions, wisely made for
their own protection, lettering them
from the facilities offered to persons res
ident whore such institutions are now
in successful operation. The practical
working of those local banks will be to
keep capital seeking investment in the
different localities where it has been ac-
cumulated; being themselves acquainted
with the value Of the securities offered,
1t will enable them to accumulate those
wanting loans for improvements, which
il 10 impossible for them now to obtain,
| on account of the auses above referred
to-. We hope TO sec them successfully
carried out in every city throughout the
State:
within the past three months some
| half dozen interior towns Sacramento,
| Stockton, Santa Cruz, Oakland, etc.,
have each inaugurated a savings and
loan society, where deposits are received
and farmers and others can borrow from
the funds. We have always advocated
the opening Of savings and loan banks
in the interior. Heretofore nearly all
the surplus earnings Of the people of the
latter have come here for deposit and
investment, in place Of being kept where
they were made, and there used to ex-
tend and aid legitimate development.
The cry for capital for the latter purpose
has always been strong in the interior,
and this cry, it has often been charged.
San Francisco has neglected to heed,
Now, however, the interior counties are
setting about supplying their wants with
home capital, by the aid Of savings and
loan societies in the chief town Of each
county. We have a surplus of capital
here, and depositors are only getting 10
per cent. per annum from our societies
for their money, and even this rate
threatens to lower. One thousand dol
lars loaned in the interior is more likely
to aid the development Of the States
resources than ten thousand loaned here
is, for the reason that when lent in the
former it is applied much more gener-
ally than it is in this city to the foster
ing of the farming, legitimate mining or
manufacturing interests. For these
reasons we rejoice to see the interior
helping itself, and hail the opening Of
loan societies in it as the inauguration
of a new career Of independence and
| nroqnarity there

HABIrABLE.-Our Nevada neighbors
are beginning to brag somewhat Of the
agricultural capabilities Of their State.
One time, nearly ell but Carson valley
was considered an uncultivated desert.
Now not only are Reese River, Ruby,
and Humboldt valleys shown to be ca
pable of cultivation and Of producing
handsomely of various fruits, vegetables
and cereals common to temperate chimes,
but the eastern and northeastern por-
ton Of the State rs said to be full Of
little fertile valleys, which will certainly
sustain immense herds Of cattle, and will
probably produce, by cultivation, many
other things which it is the business Of
the farmer to raise. Thus it is, there is
no end to the agricultural development
of these Rocky Mountain regions. since
Utah led tho way and showed what
could be done, even in these. dry and
desert wilds.-Sgh Lake Telegraph.
There is much truth in the above, Mr..
Stenhouse. Upwards Of seventeen years
ago, the writer of this, first saw this
uucultivatsd desert" and he we'll re-
members its barren aud uninviting ap-
p~earauce. Tho Mormon people are en-
titled to the credit Of first discovering
its agricultural and other advantages
excepting, Of course, its vast mineral
riches. This latter development be-
longs to the "Gentiles." Aside of
their "polygamic peculiaritiss, the
Mormon people are entitled to much
credit for their pioneer civilizing infiu-
ences in the wilderness west Of the
Rocky Mountains.

The end of the world was fixed by
one DR.. Cummings to occur in 1867.
The Doctor now comes forward to ac-
knowledge that he has made a mistake
in his calculations, an announcement OF
great comfort to those regardless of see-
ing the end this year. He says in reyis-
ing the calculations on which he based
the announcement Of the worlds ending
in 1867, he discovered that he had over
looked figures which add something
like a quintillion Of years to the race
which this mundane sphere has TO run.
This will be gratifying information to
those of the Doctors disciples who have
been setting their houses in order as a
mark Of preparation for the great event.
A "quintillion of years" is a comfort
ably remote prospect, according to pres
ent reckoning, and as distance lends
e~nchantmsnt to tho view," everybody
can enjoy the soothing reflection.
