wits by propounding the following ques-
ton: If had mince pie and should
give two twelfths to John, two twelfths to
Isaac, two twelfths to Harry, and should
keep half the pie myself what should
there be left? There was profound
study among the scholars; but finally one
held up his hand as signal that he was
ready to answer. swell, sir, what should
there be left? Speak up loud so that all
can hear, said the committee man. "Ths
plate !" shouted the little fellow. The
committeeman turned red in the face
while the other members roared aloud.
The boy was excused from answering any
more questions.

upon the track by the earthquake.
Later.-The earthquake last night was
plainly felt throughout Western Nevada.
The shocks continued all night at Virginia
City. The down train on the Carson City
railroad was thrown from the track.

tween thu millionaires and gold gamblers. First
one party appears to have the advantage aud

THE SPANISH Gun BOATS The seizure of
the Spanish gun boats in New York harbor
has created no little excitement throughout the
country. Without having recognized the Gu
bans even as belligerents, the Government has
taken a step which will further compcate our
affairs with Spain if not eventually lead to n
foreign war The flmsey plea act up by the
authorities that the gun boats were being built
10 American yards to be used by the Spanish
Government against Peru, power with which
the United States is at peace, Is certainly an
insufficient excuse and one so palpably ridcu-
lous that there are few persons even in our
own country who are not convinced to moral
certainty that it was only mere pretext and
shallow artifce on the part Of the present Ad-
ministration. Our sympathies are with the
Cubans in their struggle for independence,
and We believe that large majority of tho
people of the United States dssire to see them
succeed. We have no doubt but that Grant
himself is anxious to see them triumph, in the
hope that annexation would follow the indie
pendence Of Cuba. but the bungling manner in
which be has endeavored to favor them-by
double dealing, and trying to accomplish by
artifice and fraud that which he should do
openly and above board-will meet with the
dsapprobatiou not only of our own people but
also Of foreign powers. Let the Cubans be
recognized as belligerents, and we would be
willing to see the Government 60 step farther
and acknowledge their independence. That
would be an open and honest way of bringing
affairs to crisis, and then, if the Spanish
Government should feel aggrieyed at our
course, we could very easily relieve the Span
ish Regency Of any further trouble about the

MoULTON.-We observe that the conceited,
self-cOnstituted Chinese mandarin at Boise
City, and who is probably See iup from his
constant associations with members of that
company, has issued circular from the United
States Marshal's office at Boise City announc
ing that prisoner named r. +. Mann escaped
from his custody Dec. I'd. and after describing
him, offers to suitably reward any person who
will arrest the fugitive and notify him of the
fact. If we are correctly informed about the
matter, Moulton arrested Mann for attempting
to bride him to release some cigars or tobacco
which he had seized, and that Mann only bid
500 in greenbacks. He ought to be arrested
for offering legal tenders instead Of gold bar.
The Statesman inform US that Moulton put the
prisoner in custody of Chinaman named
Cum Lum, who appears TO be Moulton's prin-
cipal associate and right hand man. We don't
blame the fellow for escaping under such cir
cumstances, and any officer who would insult
q white man by putting Chinese guard over
him deserves to be kicked by every decent man
IN the community.
