A SUeeEsT1on TO THE HuMANE:-
I he Pluto camp on the bill contains
ONE half 2dozen sick Indians Of both
SEXES, butt principally men. Thar
condition ESpihable In the extrefnoy
and in some cases at least, could be
ameliorated with little trouble and
expense. Ophthalmy Is quite preva-
lent, and VIC saw In one camp two men,
apparently blind, and they are all
more or less afflicted with sore eyes.
This Is caused by the pungent smoke
Of the sagebrush, and cannot Of course
be eradicated as long as the cause re-
mains. But In the case Of the two
mentioned above there Is no doubt;
that relief could be given them In the
shape of an eye-wash to draw the In
flammation. It would also make the
Indians acquainted with the remedy,
which they might procure themselves
hereafter, as the price Is small. There
are Indians suffering from other dis
eases who lie there with no other help
than the incantSttons Of their "medl-
cine man." Among others is the one
who was caved on on Wednesday last
and who, up to last night, had not yet
swallowed a mouthful of food or a
drop Of water. He Is a living skele-
ton. The Indians think he will live,
because their medicine man says so;
but he looked to us as II he was booked
for the happy hunting grounds. Here
Is Q chance, for the Organization Of q
benevolent society, not only for the
alienation of the sufferings OF these
poor devils, but for the Introduction
among them OF Q few simple remedies.
TIE origin of the " New Departure"
has been claimed by almost everybody
North md South. The World claims
It; the late Mr.. Vallandigham spoke
Of 1t as his plan, whilst various South
ern, Journals scout the claims OF these
ENortherners aud claim priority for
the South. We how come forward In
behalf Of the State Of Nevada, as the
party rightfully entitled TO whatever
credit there Is In the New Departure.
A glance at the platform adopted BY
the Nevada Democratic State Conven-
ton, held at Elko In September last,
will satisfy any one that the New De-
parture was then and there first intro
duced and adopted.
REscUED.-A hapless denizen Of the
"Upper Leveln got somewhat be-
logged toward the wee small hours on
Saturday last and In bis efforts to
reach bis virtuous couch fell IN an old
abandoned shaft, which for the past
four or iye years has been used as a
receptacle for decayed vegetable mat
ter, dead cats and dogs, and other
equally sWeet-scented articles. The
night Waterman Of the Manhattan milk
heard him drop; and prccured* rope
with which he, assisted by a SON OF
Vulcan residing near by, managed to
haul him out. He Ind enough perfume
on him to supply all the Inhabitants
In Upper Austin for the next ball
season, az - ySSS@h FaE-' ,
A SAD DEATB.-Miss Frances 4.
Hensley, ayoung lady Of IL, died quite
suddenly on Saturday last, and tho sad
and unexpected event has cast q gloom
over her relatives and numerous friends.
She returned homo from . visit 10 the
early part Of the evening, and was
seized with q violent fit Of coughing
| during which itls believed she burst a
blood vessel She called to her mother
for help, and died almost Immediately
afterwards, 10 those who saw her In
tho bloom of. youth. only a few hours
before, 1t seems as If Death ought to
have spared that victim:
LITERARY MASURE.-The Carson
Register and Virginia E#tdrprise are
engaged In pitching manure at each
other. Thsy both handls their pitch-
forks withvfm and dexterity. Better
stop that8oon, 4ortbe stencils getting
pretty strong. Editorial squab6les r
we'll enough, as long as the parties
limit their namenitIesn to calling each
other fools and jackasses; but 'loafer,n
"gutter-snipe," cowardly sneak"
and similar, eplthets, when applied to
the editor Of q respectable newspaper,
are not calculated 10 inspire the great
public With respect towards the men,
