Ahrssinia-Lio, and Tigre.

The British Lion has been most fortunate
in forming treaty, offensive and de-
fensive, with the 1iyre, just at the begin
ming of the hunt In the African jungles
after the King Of Abyssinia. When these
royal beasts hunt in partnership there will
be some prey taken, and, when taken,
it will very probably be devoured!
1t is, indeed, singular fact that on the
very shores of the Red Sea England should
have formed an alliance with the King OF
rigre-a very powerful warrior. But let
the Tyre look ont. When the hunt is over,
he, too, may be chained to the Lions car.

NEW WAY TO COLLECT THE WHIsKET
TAXA wise Congressman proposes to
sell out the exclusive right to make whis-
key to the highest bidder That is
bright idea, indeed. Nothing could be
more pleasing to the originators Of fraud
than letting out the whiskey revenue in
this way. 1t would open fresh field for
bribery, and the one manufacturer OF
whiskey would become the esprit me-
dun" for the making of thousands OF
fortunes in manner not dreamed Of before
in this world.

At recent consultation between the rep

| some of the citizens Of Washoe county, both
i the terms Of the contract between the Com
pany and the counties subscribing to stock,
| and the proposed law, were so modified as
will, we think, insure the appreciation of a
large majority of the voters of this county.
The principal changes proposed BY the coun-
" Of Whashoe and accepted bv the agent Of
the Company provided First, that the road
shall be graded and ready for the timbers
through Washoe and Ormsby counties, and
two-thirds OF the grading done in Lyon and
Storey counties, on or before the first day Of
February next, and before any bonds issue 10

mortgaged for a greater sum than one and
one-half million dollars. Third, the entire
sum to be appropriated from the earnings of
the road for interest and sinking fund is not
10 exceed $1,000 per annum. Fourth, the
road IS TO be completed in running order, and
equipped with engines. cars and all other
appliances to do all the business OF the road
for the first twelve months after its compile
ton. These provisions. we believe, will, as
nearly as may be, protect the countv's inter-
est, and at the same time gives all needed
assistance TO the Company securing the
early completion Of the contemplated road,
and making Washoe the first county in the
State both in wealth and population, without
imposing buritnsome taxation. In fact, we
are convinced that before our bonds are due /

From the Virginia Enterprise Of yesterday

From the Virginia Enterprise OF yesterday. :,
SAN Francisco, March 20.-At / O'Clock
P. NJ. to-day Robertson's patent vessel, in.
tended to be propelled by the action of the
waves alone, started from Meiggs' Wharf on
a trial trip. There are three boats attached
to each other, and the center one has side
wheels like an ordinary steamer, which are
calculated to move by the action of the waves.
A strong ebb tide was running at the time,
and the boats swung around to the current
and were swept rapidly in the direction of the
Golden Gate. When they got opposite Point
San Jose fog nearly obscured them. The
inventor had signifed his intention Of going
outside the Heads, and it is understood that
he claims the craft will work best on rough
sea, the rougher the better. The return Of
the party will be looked for with much interest.
r. S. Nichol was arrested to-day on
charge Of forgery.
a charge of murder has been preferred
against VIM. Robinson, the companion Of
Mrs. Ball, who was drowned last week.
yesterday morning owen heete, who lived
on the Oakland and San Pablo road. was
found dead in his bed, with a bullet hole
in his head. He is supposed to have been
murdered by thieves
VIM. Griggs and VIM. Ward were yester-
day tried on charge of dealing faro, and
were acquitted.
The revenue officers have discovered new
