DEPENDING "NArloSAL WOMEN I'VE
heard very rough talk, last night, be-
tween an American and an Englishman,
which seemed likely at one time to con-
clude with a fight, and which arose in
this manner Englishman commenced
speaking Of Mrs. Lincoln as a vulgar
woman, who was 'just fit to be a Presi-
dents wife" American objected that
this was n reflection upon Lincoln's
memory, as well rs a de~nunciation OF
Madam, and q slur upon all Presidents,
etc. Englishman said Mrs. l.. was a
s9coarse article" American said ''Queen
Victoria was q sensual Guelph" Eng
lishman said he believed Mrs. l.. was u
black-mailer. American said it was
evident Queen Victoria didn't know
how to entertain other Majesties, or was
too stingy to allow Of their proper en-.
tertainment-lodging them in Henglish
hinus. Englishman said Mrs. l.. was
very "sweet" on the "contractors" who
came around the White House, during
the war, according to her own story's
suggestions. American said Queen Vic.
was very sweet on her footmau, John
Brown. E%nglishman said American
was q liar, and American returned by
calling the other a son Of n sea cook,
and making for him. Several parties
interfered, and both parties were
brought to a dispassionate review Of the
conversation, when, being sensible men,
they mutually confessed to having I'M
Justly provoked the other, and said they
were ashamed at havingabused a woman,
anyway. They agreed that such kind
of dirty talk should be left exclusively
to the Enterprise and S. F. Bulletin.
PErRoLEuN.-It has frequently been
asserted that there are oil wells in the
State Of Nevada, but the real stuff has
never been brought to light until quite
recently. We paid a visit last week to
the Humboldt and Desert region Of this
State, and we now affirm positively that
the genuine article Of petroleum, in q
crude state, does exist within the bor-
ders of Nevada, and that it can be OBJ
tanned in large quantities. The petro-
leum spring to which we allude, how
ever, does not lie towards Humboldt.
At present its locality is a secret, and
known only to a few persons. But, ace
know where it is.
BLACK CRoox.-Rousing and roaring,
the old story of stage effects-on the
audience. But by new arts and appli-
auces Jimmy M~urphy's dancing is an
uufailing source of amusement. Ida
May, and Miss Josephine, and Miss De
Courcey, are remarkably lively in their
respective performances. And every
body likes and is pleased to p%atronize
the individuals who run the concern
Blackburn and Edgington.
KESrucK DIVIDEND. The Kentuck
Company yesterday declared a dividend
of seven and a half dollars on each and
every share Of its capital stock, payable
and after the 10th instant. II is true,
the dividend is not so large rs was an
tisipated, but still it is a very high rate
of interest on tho stock, rs we see it
quoted in the Stock Board Mt SOB per
share.
FIRE ALARN.-The engines were called
out yesterday about noon by an alarm
Of FIRE, caused by the ignition of some
rubbish lying contiguous to the rear OF
T%orreyson's blacksmith shop. A spark
from a Chinaman's ironing pan caused
it. "John" should be made to be more
careful. "Warrens" had the first water
ready.-Carson appeal.
ISsULrED.-A recently elected official,
in San Francisco, writes Ms the inquiry:
"Is the capital of your State u 'eity'?"
You ask us that question again, and
we'll hire a tea-raiser in San Francisco
to give you q beatifc vision between the
ewes. OF course it's a city. And it
not, it's laid out IN squares and lots.
AceurrrED.-Alverson, charged with
assault with intent to commit murder
on Wilson, ut Silver City, has been ac-
Quilted. It transpired, on the trial,
that Wilson had called Alverson's wife
very foul names, and that Alverson was
laboring under great excitement thereat
when the assault was committed.
GuLLY.-Thc rain last night showed
q disposition to "gully" Taylor and
Union streets, Virginia, on the surface
ruts. It's astonishing how the people
are praying for an open winter and yet
