How A JOLLY SENATOR BATHED A DIS

saw several hundred ladies and gentle.
men bathing together ut the same time,
and seeing the bathers handling the
round, plump and Venus. formed girls
we became excited. Many amusing in
cidouts occur 10 these delightful bathing
operations. We will relate one. Sen.
ator Murphy, who is a Emo looking,
~iovial, whole-souled fellow, went down
to battle, and while in the costume Of
the bathers was addressed by n lady Of
distinction, who had como down alone
to battle: "You a come and battle
me |" The Senator jumped at the op.
portuuity, and ticking the fair lady By
the hand, led her into the water, pro.
tecting her from the under currents and
sometimes dangerous waves, at the
same time listening to her joyous ex-
cIamatious, such MS, COB, delightful !"
"It is delicious ~ etc. After getting
through with bathing and paying the
Senator the fifty cents which is the reg
ular price charged by the "bathing
men," one of whom she supposed the
Senator 10 be, che said to him Well,
sir, I wish you to bathe me every day
at IL o'clock. What name shall call
when | want you 2" "Tom, madam /
will wait on you with pleasure" Soon
sfterward the lady met the Senator in
the parlor. She saw her mistake, and
blushingly left the room. Tom Murphy,
however, met her at the breakfast table
and removed her embarrassment by say.

HAs THE STATE OF NEVADA
RATIFIED THE FIFTEENTH
A-MENDMENTP

The impression has been prevalent here
that the fifteenth Amendment was rathed
by the last Legislature OF the State. On
looking over the proceedings Of that body,
we and that the Amendment passed the As
,cmbly ON the LIST Of March by a vote OF 23
yeas against l6 nays, and that the Senate
passed il by q vote Of ii ayes against 8 nays.
In common with the rest Of our citizens We
supposed that this vote settled the question
of the ratification of the Amendment. SO far
AZ the State OF Nevada was concerned. But
Il now appears that in consequence OF an
oversight on the part Of the legislators who
nassed the Amendment, the Department at
Washington has never been officially notified
Of lis passage by the Nevada Legislature,
and what is more, never can be until the
blunder committed is remedied, which can
only be done in two ways, viz: BY calling an
extra session Of the Legislature, or wait unnl
the next Legislature ommences IN January
1871. The Elku Independent, whose editoi
is a lawyer, and therefore accustomed 70

Amendment, which Congress recognized
A. sufficient. 1t may be possible, how

Department have overlooked a prope
