INAUGURATION DAY.-Tho day which
gave tho American people n Pres.
ident after q four years vacuum"
in that office, was duly hon
ored in Reno. The little "bull dog
bought by the Union citizens last au-
tumn, and which has been silent since
the day Grants election was celebrated,
was once more unlimbered and at in
t~ervals, from dawn to sunset, Numbered
forth tho signal that the day of days
had come, that at the nations helm at
last was a pilot, hcuceforth amidst con-
fused seas, despite Of warning winds
and wrathful elements, every plunge
Of the great ship of state would be
straight toward the lights which signal
the heaven Of order, Of law and peace.
tbs GREcIAN BEYD.-There isa Miss
up town, about q dozen years Of age
we should think, who has doubtless
heard of the Grecian bend, and tries to
adopt it in her walk. The effort makes
of a naturally pretty girl q horrible de-
formity. 1t is none Of our business

matter, but if we had II right to speak
we should say that the girl land her

benefited by q good spanking.

Wednesday last q man crazy with

threatening to cut, Stay, stab and ami

Toward night he went into the butcher
shop on Virginia street, and Selling q
large knife made a plunge at II boy who
was present. The boys agility prob
ably saved his life. At last n citizen,
getting tired of tho nuisance, knocked
him down n few times, w~hereupon the
crazy bum subsidized.

SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.

The appointment Of A. T. Stewart to
the portfolio of the Treasury Depart
ment and his reluctance in accepting
it for legal reasons, has thrown a little
cloud of mist over it among politicians
on this coast, as nearly all of them have
failed to comprehend what was meant
by the law of l79S, rs the Eastern dis
patches have it. The new Secretary OF
the Treasury is an extensive importer
of foreign goods, and hence the law
referred to disqualified him from ac-
cepting the position, unless Congress
repeals it. Tho Sacramento Record OF
Yesterday thus alludes to the matter !:
"The founders of our Government in
1898, jealous as they were Of men IN
Office, passed a law to the effect that no
person engaged in importing should
hold any official position wherein the
control Of the customs in any way passed
to the persons appointed. The President,
in order to relieve himself Of this dilem-
ma, addresses the Senate a message
the repeal or modification OF
this law, in order that Stewards ap-
pointment may be confirmed. Sherman
introduced a bill to the
effect and sought to force its passage,
and most probably would have accom-
the purpose had not Sumner
.interposed his voice against it, and
accordingly tho bill was tabled, Mt least
until tho matter can be further inquired
Without objection to Stewart, on
the contrary, regarding his appointment
q judicious one, we can see no reason
why tho importer OF go should have
suddenly grown moro honest than hc
of '9s, and if, in that carly day, the
customs needed such guards thrown
around them, the subsequent history OF
u country and its importers has GER
taiuly not shown any good reason for
their removal"

THE FESTIVAL.

Mr.. EDITOR IL went, accompanied
by my husband and n gentleman from
San Francisco, to the Festival at the
Theatre Hall last night, and will go
again and again, if the ladies who have
its management in hand will change
the programme of attendance a little /;
fault on this point, | will state it frankly
and honestly The managers have
allowed too many little boys and girls
to 60 in and occupy what room there 10
left IN the Theatre-to push each other
about, to bawl and shout, to step on
ladies' dresses, to rush between ladies
and gentlemen and annoy their CONVEX
sation by their loud talk, laughing and
gibberish. As this is q Fair from which
money is expected t DO made for the
church, and as little boys and girls arc
not supposed to be largely supplied
with ready cash, I would respectfully
suggest to the managers that, if they
expect ladies and gentlemen to speud
their money, as was intended in the
getting up of this Fair, they must ex-
clude about nine in every ten of the
children who attended last night, and
who will do so again if permitted. A
Fair for u church can hardly becallod n
picnic or q school festival. In all kind
ness, | ask, and am Endorsed in so do
ing, q reform tonight, in the festival
now going on at the Theatre. Yours,
respcctfully, Lucy STONE.

votes to make him Governor. He was n

WH1rE PINE COUNTY.

The day after the Legislature adj
journed, VIC learned through some
source that Governor Blasdel intended
to appoint o set Of officers different from
those named in the bill passed by the
Legislature creating the county Of
White Pine. At the time we heard this
report, We placed but little reliance on
it, as we did not believe that the Gov
ernor would try to make himself still
more ~obooxious to the people than ne
had already done. A day or two later
veaooin heard rumors that the Governor
intended to appoint only three Comfy
Commissioners and to delegate to them
tho owe to organize the county n 70
appoint its other administrative officers
At noou to-day a gentleman came up
from Carson who informed US that the
Governor has positively appointed an
entire set of officers for White Pine
County, and that Charles Clark IS
named as County Clerk and ]. s.. Cros-
man County Recorder. Our informantis
q gentleman who we believe is reliable.
We feel no particular interest in the
matter as to who fills the Offices of
White Pine county, but it is our opinion
that with two sets Of oiicors-one set
appointed by the Act creating the
county, and another set by the Governor
the White Piuers will be likely to get
into as big q middle as the Normons are
with q Legislature designated as the
State government, under the exclusive
control of the Mormons, and the Terri
torial Legislature established by the
Federal Goyernmcnt-and between the
two ut White Pine "Chloride Johnny"
is likely to be pretty we'll fceced. In
creating q new county and appointing
its officers by statutory law, the Legis-
lature has asserted the right to do so
by virtue Of the Constitutiou-while on
the other hand, the Governor claims
1--WE believe this was the gist Of his veto
message Of the bill) that under the Con-
stitution he has the right to make the
appointment. We shall await further
developments concerning this tea and
chocolate party concerning White Pine.

has made the treatment of premature
bald heads a special study, and after a
series Of experiments has demonstrated
the fact that hair may be grated into
such a head and made grow. He takes
hair from the head Of another person
and examines it with n microscope to

The hair he inserts into the cavities Of
the scalp, and secures it to its place by
baniages which are allowed to remain
n few days until the hair takes root.

From carefully conducted expert

That:
When corn costs 12i cents per bushel,
pork costs 1t cents per pound.
When corn costs II cents per bushel,
pork costs 2 cents per pound.
When corn costs % cents pcrbushel,
pork costs 3 cents per pound.
When corn costs 30 cents per bushel
pork costs 4 cents per pound.
When corn costs 30 cents per bushel,
pork costs cents per pound.
The following statements show what
the farmers realizes on his corn
when in the form of pork:
When pork sells for 3 cents per
pound, it brings Is cents per bushel in

When pork sells for a cents per
