STEAMBOAT ON WAsHos LAkE.-Dr.
Bishop and W. 0'Neals have this week
completed and launched their steamboat
on Washoe Lake. The machinery
works to perfection, and the boat glides
over the water to a charm. Old Glory
may be seen flying at Its mast head, in
fact Doc. says the bont can't float with
out the flag. The boat Is to be used for
the purpose Of towing wood in bargos
across the lake which they say they can
do to a profitable advantage. The pro-
p%rictors have large quantities Of wood
offered them for shipment, besides they
are owners Of a large tract. of timber
land from which they can furnish wood
to make 1t pay to paddle their own
canoe. On next Saturday II 10 proposed
to give q pleasure excursion, when, for
the first time, the entire lake will be ex-
plored. We. trust the enterprise may
prove not only pleasurable to the
Wsshoeites, but profitable to the
owners.
CELEBRATION AT REso.-The Zebra
ton of our National Anniversary at Reno
promises to be unusually interesting.
The citizens are making ample prepare.
tons for q good time. Invitations have
been extended to the officials and citi-
zens Of Washoe to be present and par.
ticipate. There is to DO an Grafton,
reading of the Declaration Of Independ.
ence, music by an excellent brass band,
excursion trains going east and west,
free for all, and o grand ball at night.
How many other inducements will be
offered by the Renoites we cannot tell.
Let all attend and once more enjoy the
glorious Fourth in q town Of life and
railroads.

Her RsLIGIoUs CoSprrIoS.-Reverend
Mr.. Blakesly, one Of the editors of The
Pacific, a religious newspaper Of the
Presbyterian persuasion, published in
San Francisco, is in Gold Hill at pres
ent. We had q conversation with him
on Sunday morning, on the subject Of
the spiritual condition of the people on
the Comstock. Blakesly N over
here every two or three years, and being
a rather observant as well as religious
man, he draws conclusions from what
he sees. he thinks We have less relig-
ion here now than We had Eve or six
years ago-and that while we have more
families now than then, practical relig-
ion, pro%portionate to our population,
has most wofully degsnerated. We
begged most respectfully to differ with
him-but be insisted that such was his
conclusion, and he cited one instance.
Last week he called upon a married
woman, and he "talked to her like a
father" on religious matters. The wo-
man said that "she used to read her
Bible regularly every day, but for a year
or two past she had not doue much of
it; but still she did not think she was
any the worse for it." "well," re-
joined brother Blakesly, "but don't
you read religious newspapers I" Job,
yes," replied the matron, " my husband
brings me the latestpapers from the East.
Only yesterday he brought me the No
zYpa, the Police Gazette and the Last
Sensation. Would you like to look at
them Brother Blakesly excused him
self, and taking his hat, he bade the
good-natured matron good morning.
He has since told Us that he does not
consider religion and Bible-reading very
popular among the large number of
families in Gold Hill. Perhaps he is
right.

TRYING

The ordeal through which General
Grant will be required to pass, between
tho present time and tho November cleo
ton, can scarcely fail to be one OF the
most trying to which a human being
was ever subjected. As General-in-
Chief of the armies Of the United States,
the extraordinary powers with which
General Grant has been necessarily
endowed because of the treachery and
treason of Andrew johnson, place him
in a position requiring the utmost firm
ness, decision and clearness of head.
The responsibilities Of his position are
tremendous, and would tag the capacity,
integrity and irmuess of the greatest
Of men. under any circumstances, but
his coiucident candidacy for Presiden-
tial honors makes his position peculiar
ly and terribly onerous.
The pending difficulty in Louisiana is
an illustration of this fact. There is no
doubt but that the loyalists Of Louisi-
ana are deeply anxious for an immediate
Inauguration Of their new State govern
meut. And it may not be denied that
such action is e~minently desirable as
soon as il can be lawfully consum-
mated. General Grant was besieged by
masses Of Louisiana Unionists to reverse
the order Of General Buchanan and
permit tho instant installation Of the
State officers elect. Had he done so his
action would have probably created no
excitement no affected his candidacy
elsewhere, while his refusal wal liable
to sstrange the loyalists of Louisiana
and other portions Of the South. Any
man who would have allowed consider
atoms of policy to control him, would
have curried favor in the South by the
exercise of his authority and granting
the petition Of the Louisianians. But
the sublime integrity for which Grant
has ever been pre-eminently conspicu-
Gus remained mistaken. The interest
Of the Presidential candidate suggested
that by compliance the six votes Of Lou
~isians, and perhaps many more should
be secured, but the duty of the General.
n-Chief under the law forbade it. His
stern sense Of duty permitted no hesita-
ton. He did his duty, and perhaps
sacrificed a score of electoral votes,
Numberless similar emergencies must
inevitably occur, and we may rest as.
sured that he will alike h~onorably meet
them, NO matter at what sacrifice Of pc.
litisal favor. Let US hope that the PEG.
pie will appreciate his answering
integrity, and let our most ferveut aspi.
rations ascend in his behalf, that a kind
and wise Providence may stay and
strengthen him, aud maintain him equal
to his great Office and tremendous re.
sponsibilities.

E~LRcrRioAL THiRMoxlTRRs.-A new
English invention 10 an apparatus for
employing electricity, in connection
with a thermometer, to regulate the
temperature of q room. An ordinary
mercurial thermometer is provided with
o platinum wire inserted in the glass
bulb, so as TO DO In connection with the
mercury. Another wire, capable OF
slsvating or depressing, Is placed at the
other end Of the thermometer. These
two wires connect with two poles OF a
battery, and forming part Of the circuit
is an electro.magnet, whose armature
controls the opening or closing of a
yalye regulating the admission Of hot
air. II Il 10 desirable that the tempera-
ture of q room should not rise above
600 Fahrenheit, the point Of the nova
BILE platinum wire is brought to that
number on the thermometer. When
the mercury registers 6oo the circuit Is
closed, and the armature Of the magnet
closes tho hot air valve until the tenn
perature becomes reduced, when the
valve 10 again opened. Thus . nearly
temperature may be ms~intained-
. very Desirable object in hot houses.

few days since two cars loaded with railroad
iron were taken from Cheyenne to this place,
and upon their arrival it becoming necessary
to detach the engine for a short time the

Horse THIEF CAPrURED.-Last Mon
day q man called at the Pacific Stables
and hired a horse and buggy to use in
visiting o friend whom he said resided o
short distance in the country. He for
got to return. On Tuesday a man who
represented himself as ON employing
agent for s. P. Whitman, of San Fran
cisco, and also as agent for the Hum
boldt Canal Company, arrived in Stock
ton, driving a cream colored mare before
a pretty valuable open buggy. These
he expressed q desire to sell, as business
called him elsewhere, and he needed
money more than Injuries. According
ly, at his earnest request, they were
sold at auction by Melone b Davis, auc-
~tioueers of that city, A. G. Ainsworth
purchasing the mare for $l45, and Capt.
l. D. Hamilton tho vehicle and harness
for $ll0. Feeling suspicious of the
stranger, the firm announced to him
that they would withhold the money
received from the sale until he should
produce satisfactory evidence of being
what he claimed to be. They were re-
ferred to s. P. Whitman, who replied,
in answer to a telegram, that they did
not know any such individual as Man
ming 1.-THE name given by the a%dventurer).
A police officer was notified Of the con-
dition of affairs, aud bestirred himself
to find the truth Of the matter. Deputy
Sheriff Rabbit Of this city was in
Stockton, having just arrived with the
insane man Ivers, and officer Kerr de.
scribed to him the turnout which had
been sold. The officers went to look at
the mare, as Rabbit thought he knew
who was the owner, and the Sheriff rec
ognized her on sight as the property Of
Frank Malone. of the Pacific Stables 10
Sacramento. Malone was telegraphed
to, and as q result Manning was lodged
in quarters in the Stockton calaboose.
When arrested he stated that he had
owned the mare and buggy several
weeks, having brought them from Ore
gon. The buggy and harness were Sc
cured, and yesterday Rabbit brought
Manning o prisoner to the city, arriving
about two O'Clock, when the stolen
property was restored to its owner, and
the thief (who confesses the theft very
%penitcntly) placed in the station house.

DoMEsrIc HApplNrss.-The following
sketch, by Mrs. Elizabeth Oaks Smith,
is from the Herald of Health: While
travelling o few years since, was de-
tanned several days in one of our Wes-
tern cities. My room overlooked a
lane or alley way, In which were seye-
raj houses occupied by the better class
Of artisans, and / became much interest
ed 10 one Of these, so much so, that no
sooner did hear q glad shout from a
little voice than I knew II was meal
time aud "Daddy was coming" aud l
took up my point Of observation In
harmless aud admiring scrutiny Of the
well governed house. On the way 10,
the father raised the rejoicing child In
his arm, and gave It two or three re,
spending smacks; another n q
crept 10 the door-sill, and this was lifted
also, and its little cheek laid tenderly
upon the shoulder, which was hunched
up to bring It close to that Of the ia
tber. By this time the wife had brought
q bowl Of water and q white, coarse
towel then she took the children down,
applying also sundry pats, now on the
shoulders of the little ones, and now on
the broad, fatherly ones ; and while the
husband gave alast rub OF his hard,
rough hands, he stretched out bis neck
and kissed the pretty, girlish wife, who
would be lowering near him. They said
grace, before they dined at the plain,
wholesome board, and more than once
| found myself waiting them a benedic-
tlon With tears In my eyes. It is 80
british to pass without word Of reeog-
milton Of the Great Giver. Tho hus-
band was a grave man, and the wifsa
lovely, CHEEKY one, neat as 9 new pin
and very chatty. I thought them WON
derfully well matched, for there was no
moroseness In the ~ 0 leyity in the
woman, and when Sunday came, and
the little household dressed In all their
hnery, baby and all, went to church, 1t
was a sight to behold.

The concluding sentence does not look
as though Mr.. Fessenden had concluded
to join the Democratic party at present.

OBsEoUrEs OF Rev. FATHER CorTER.
The funeral Of the late James s. Cot
ter, pastor of st. Rose Church, in this
city, took place from that church on
Saturday morning. At an early hour
the building was filled with those who,
highly esteeming the deceased while
alive, desired to assist in paying his re-
mains the last and solemn honors.
About 9 o'clock coffee services were
commenced; this ceremony being COM
pleted, ~pontifcal high mass was cele-
brated by Archbishop Allemany, a large
number Of the clergy assisting. An
eloquent address, eulogistic Of Rev.
Father Cotter, was then pronounced BY
the Vicar General, Very Rev. ]. J. Pen
degast, whose mention of incidents in
the life Of the departed, and of his good
qualities, moved many to tears. At the
conclusion of the services an opportu-
nifty was afforded those who desired to
look once more upon the face of the
dead, and hundreds availed themselves
Of it. Shortly before IL o'clock the
coffin was conveyed to the hearse, being
borne by N. Green Curtis, John s. Bar
rett, W. A. McWilliams and G.P. Cum
mings, Of Sacramento; John Ryan,
Daley and John Hamhill, of San Fran
cisco, and ]. Mallon, Of Virginia. The
scene was a most impressive one as the
coffin passed down the isle, followed by
the clergymen, the mourntuf tones Of
the organ ssemingto find response in the
hearts Of the vast congregation whose
eyes were fixed upon the procession. As
the all-bearers crossed the threshold the
bell Of the church tolled, and as the
coffin was placed in the hearse the Cor
net Band played the Sicilisn Hymn.
Directly afterwards the funeral COM
menced to move, 10 the following order,
up K street and TO St. Joseph's Gene
terry : Cornet Band Emmett Guard, in
fatigue uniform and wearing side arms /;
six carriages containing the clergy /;
hearss drawn by four black horses /;
girls Of st. Joseph's school, to the num-
Der Of about $50, dressed in white,
trimmed with black nearly as many
boys of the Catholic Sunday School /;
Knickerbocker Engine Company No. 8,
VIM. D. Farrell, Foreman ; Laborers'
Protective and Benevolent Association,
John German. President ; tho Fenian
Brotherhood, James Mcclure, Marshal /;
carriages 10 the number Of l24 when
the procession passed the corner Of
Ninth and K streets, which number was
probably increased to about 200, as
many Joined the line at the cross streets.
All the organizations above mentioned
turned out with full ranks. In the We
cinity Of the church the sidewalks, bal
comics, etc., were crowded with people.
The bells Of the engine-houses tolled as
the procession moved up the street.
Arrived at the grave, the ceremonies Of
the Church were performed, and the
body lowered to its final resting-place.
Each Of the priests present threw upon
the coffin q spadeful Of earth, AMI were
in this followed bya number Of citi-
zens In attendance. Slowly the vast
assemblage dispersed, carrying With
them the memory Of their friend as Of
good man who had gone to rest.-Sae.
