DEAD BODY FoUND.-The dead body
of l.. Z. Mckenzie was found a few
DAYS ago near the Glenbrook Ranch,
in Elko county. From appearance,
the body lad been lying there SIX
weeks, as he was last seen III n a
neighborhood about that time 1here
was no evidence of any struggle, the
body lying on its face in an easy po-
sition. The body was discovered by
Mr.. Benton, of Lamoille Valley. while
hunting cattle, on the 18th. This Nc
Keupie was well known in Carson,
having spent considerable time here
last Winter and Spring, and, We be-
Iieve, was a clerk at the State Prison.
He was at one time a Geographic OPP
orator at TOano. and previously an
engineer on the Central Pacific Rail
road. During the wal he held an APP
pointment as Quartermaster Gf we
remember rightly in one of the Wis
consin regiments.

FALSE ~PRETENSES,

Ii is generally supposed by the pub
lie that when a man starts into the
newspaper business he is possessed of
ordinary intelligence. but when an
idiot imposes himself upon the pub
lie as an editor he is guilty Of obtain
ing money under false pretenSes and
should be punished accordingly. I
am led to these reflections from read
ing an article in the Humboldt Regis
ter of the 22d inst. in regard to salaries
of State officers. The imbecile does
not know perhaps that a Republican
LEGISLATURE fixed the salary of Cover
nor at $1,000 per mum. and that of
his Private Secretary at S2,i00: the
Secretary of States at $1,000, and his
! Deputy at $1,000. The aforesaid I'M
beetle don't know that twice the
amount of the above figures equals
the amount named i'm session laws of
1871. Page 49, $50. to which he refers.
and that the act of 1871 is an appropri-
alton for said salaries for two wears.
The salaries for sail State officers re
main exactlyas fixed by a Republican
Legislature years ago. The Register
man don't seem to know the differ
ence between an appropriation for said
salaries for n year and an appropria-
ton for the seventh and eighth fiscal
wears. I advise the Winnemucca
Nasty to confine himself i'm future to
literature better adapted to his intel
lect-the Child's Primer-and he NAV
he promoted during the present adj
ministration from the position of Post
master at Winnemucca to that of .'P.
NJ. at Confeaerit y Roads, witch is in
the Stait of Kentucky" OMEGA.

THOMAS F1TCH.-It has been stated
in some of the California papers that
Thomas Fitch, late member of Con
gress from Nevada, is c%oquetting with
Brigham Young and the Mormons for
their political influence in the future.
1t was also stated that he was trying
for the appointment of Chief Justice OF
Utah. This the New York Post is au-
thorized TO deny. Fitch tells that
paper he don't want any office i'll the
gift of the President. 1t is just posi-
bic that he is laying plans for a United
States Senatorship, should Utah be I'd
mitted as a State. Fitch has no chance
for that or any other Office in Nevada,
though it is well known he has a con
summing ambition for it.-ISacramento

A DESERTED DIsTRICT.-The Eu-

solitude which now hangs over the
former mining district of Danville
sixty miles south of Eureka. y few
years ago hundreds of miners were
busy there-now not a soul is TO be

over all. The grass in the deserted
streets is waist high, and the doors OF
twelve ~unoccupied log cabins swing

KIT CARSON,

In person, Kit Carson was remark

inches high, with Il long body, and
legs so bowed that l have never seer

who have been such from childhood.

have often been smiled at as tanciful
for remarking a resemblance between
Chris North of Blackwood, and Kit
Carson: yet 1t was very plain to me,
despite the evident difference, and the
knowledge that North was Il giant i'll
person and intellect, for Carson Was as
accomplished as North i'll woodcraft,
and rarely equaled in riding. running,
shooting or jumping. Think of the
concentrated power of that small
form, which used. when young, to
jump eighteen feet ut one running
jump. 1t was not. however. in men

similar bold, honest. lion like phy>i-
ognomy that found the Resemblance.
At Garland, Carson kept open house,
exercising the most unbounded hospi-
tality TO all visitors and pas>ers by,
who were often sufficiently numerous.
and in them We're included the Ute
Indians, of whom he had once been
agent, and with whom he had such a
powerful influence that no trouble
took place when an appeal could he

him: and it was a study to see him
sitting, surrounded by them. talking
as kindly and familiarity as to his own

it seemed to me he talked more with

CAVE FOR STOLEN CATrLE.-The
Eureka Sentinel describes a secre.

following item:
In a very thickly settled portion Of

cred a place built torthe purpose of Sc

of tone. with heavy walls, covered
with poles and dirt thrown on them.
The top of the cache is even with the

one without suspicion that 1t WAS other

that .if Il man comes here and takes

THE TARIFF AND THE SHOE MAN
UFACTURERS.

The protest put forth by the boot
and shoe manufacturers of Massachu-
sets against the mis-called protective
tariff, is a very forcible and signifi-
cantdocument. They have found out
that there is such a thing as protect
ing a manufacture to death. The
precise point at which the manipu-
lators of leather find their particular
shoe to pinch, is that the production
of hides and leather in this country
is not in proportion to the consump-
ton. When they seek to import
from countries that have a surplus,
they are met by a duty of 35 per
cent. which is almost prohibitory.
The result is easily seen. \ terrible
burdensome tax is imposed OF the
home consumer of the articles, the
profits of the manufacturer are cut
down, and he is barred by the high
cost of his wares from selling in for
eign markets. The tariff is a two
edged sword that cuts both ways.
Brought to a realizing sense of
these facts blythe stern logic of profit
and loss, the shoe manufacturers
have issued a circular condemning
the high tariff, and promising aid to-
ward a reform. They say:
The tariff tax upon the leather,
amounts to 80 per cent. From the
cans have enjoved such advantages in
enabled them to under>ell all com pet
ing nations. This tax, therefore, Is
totally unnecessary as a protective
measure.
The duties on cotton and silk rub
Der Weddings are 50 and 30 per cent.
respectively. As few OF these goods
are manufactured in this country these
protective duties are benefits TO the
few and burdens to the many. The
duties on hastings and serges are So
per cent. Although these highly pro-
lective duties have been levied for
four years, they have succeeded in
stimulating only two establishments
to engage in making these articles,
and thai t a limited extent. More
over, the quality of their products is
too inferior 10 supersede the Use OF
imported goods.
