From TIE OAhcd0o 7Tf6une.
Governor Baisdel Of Nevada, is one Of those
individuals w.om nature framed IN one OF her most
generous moods, and IS chief; celebrated for his
LENGTH of limb, as ell as towering stature. While
u visit la'ely to this city he found room big
enough TO accommodate his eephantnc PROPORTIONS
IN one OF our principal hotels One evening he took
into bis ncnd that he would visit Clany, the ccle-
brated Chinese Giant who was then on exhibition
at Aiken Museum. lie was lucky enough to be
ol the nrs, visitors, and got chance to see his
g'oa' oriental rival. There we're lIrgc number,
however. Who were not 20 fortunate, and who were
obj cd to stand around the door until sheir turn
came.
Having sotisac1 his curiosity, the Governor pre-.
pared TO elbow his way through the crowd, and had
succeeded In rcaciing the second Hoor ~hen a low
bnin greeted his appearance. THIS soon broke into
eNclmatons SOM thing like the following: " There
hC ~ That's him " "Thcft's the Chinese ri.
nntr' An eager crowd psessod around His Excel

Doc KILLISG.-For some time past
there has been a quiet killing Of dogs
going on that has caused great num-
bers of the relatives of worthless dogs
to wear mourning. But the "pizen
has not been distributed so judiciously
hut that some good and highly priced
dogs have been brought low. Rlobhs
is mosrning the loss of his dorg. He
was good dorg. He was yaller
dorg. But he is a dead dorg. He had
learned that waller dorg to do innumer-
able tricks If Blobbs just raised a
stick where that dorg was, he would
stick his tail between his legs, give a ki..
Vi, and SHOOT under the bed in min
ute. He was 30 well trained Blobbs
always paid the tax on that dorg.
He would swear ont Of everything else
in the way Of taxation, but he would
get the collectors receipt aud tie 1t
round the dorgs neck, as if ii were a
charm. AS he gazed on the carcasses
Of several other CANNES, and one OF
them yaller one, he became poetic.
He seized his pen and wrote the follow
ing to a well known policeman, hut it
did mt save his dorg:
Policeman spare my "dorg.
Touch not a single hair,
He worries many hog,
From out his muddy lair.
You will surely let him live;
Oh! do not kill him dead,
He wags his little narrative"
And prays for grub-not lead.
No, policeman, spare that "purp"
Touch not single hair;
oh put your pizen up,
And go away from there.
Yes, his tail has a right to wag,
BY every law that's made;
For he wears collar on his neck
And his city tax is paid.

Of the King of the aGaloots, the Grand
High Cockalorum of the Fusileers, ana

Vance, the, Police Court would have
been without interest yesterday. Toby
has been sloshing round the town for
several days, getting a healthy dose of
fluid extract of headache wherever and
whenever he could find any one to treat.
On Tuesday afternoon he was making
his way up Market street crab-fashion.
He was as full as tick, and walked
right into the clutches of Officer Jun
kins, who toted Toby off to the lookup.
As it was plain drunk, he was charged
for it at the regular plaindrunk rates,
81 and costs. Of course he had no
ducats. He never does have. In de-
fault, he will resume his briefly inter,
rupted studies Of the noble science OF
geology.
Jesse Huff was plumb full on Tues,
day evening. Wandering through
Centre Wheeling, he came across a
church, and being, perhaps, religiously
inclined, spread himself upon the stepi
and slept the sleep OF the tight. He
paid 81 and costs.
Monday night Thomas Davis, who
lives on Coal street, was upon the wal
path. He went to his home rather thu
worse for wear, and kicked up q row
burned table cloths and towels, anc
then got ont on TO the street and made
it musical for the neighbors. lie KEEP
this sort of thing up for about fou'
hours. He was requested to aid TIT
City's finances to the amount OF Sl'
and costs. Could mt do it. Breaketl
stone for twenty days in default and OF
the chain-gang.
