draw his application for writ of habeas corpus

insisted that he did not know the Nathan MUIR

MARK TWAIEs FRoa SURPASSED.

The frog Of Calayeras county may
hide his diminished head. He might
have had points, but he Is altogether
surpassed by an English frog. A wo-
man in England was eating boiled po-
tatoes lately. She took up one that
was large, mealy and inviting she
laid It on her plate and cut In two.
So far there Is nothing In this story
which Is ut all strange or singular.
But here comes the wonderful part.
So soon as the potato was cut, out
jumped a frog, which threw several
somersaults. and then croaksd q pean
of Joy at his delivery. The woman
has declared her readiness to swear to
the truth Of this stsry. The scientists
are all agog with excitement over this
wonderful freak Of nature. What they
consider the most extraordinary part
OF the story Is not net the fact Of the
frog being inside Of the potato, instead
Of the potato being inside Of the frog,
but 1t was that 1t was not ever par
boiled. 1t seems to uS that a frog
which had sufficient Ingenuity to get
inside OF a potato without cutting the
skin, would be nble to sit In q smelt-
ing furnace and croak "God ave the
Queen" with infinite relish.-S. F.
Figaro.

During the late thunder storm Mt old

named Hale was struck by lightning
aud killed. The electric current passed
down the stovepipe while Hale was

after being struck, and then fell dead.
This Is the story. Query was the
man killed by lightning, or scared to
death?
On the 10TH instant, at Toano, a VIC

on the person Of William Wilson by a

WATER TRAINS.

Water trains for the purpose Of eY-
linguishing fires that may occur In the
sheds over the summit Of the Sierra
Nevada are now stationed, one at
Emlgrant gap and another at Summit
station, besides the one here. The
train for Emigrant Gap was sent up
from Sacramento yesterday, and was
brought to Truckee to-day for some
slight repairs. The train consists Of
three platform cars, each with a tank
90 feet long, 7 feet wide and 3 feet
high. The total capacity Of these
three tanks IL about 10000 gallons.
These tanks are connected together by
canvas pipe, and are elevated OH the
cars high enough so that the water can
all be discharged into the tender of the
engine. The engines for these water
or fire trains have steam up constantly,
and are In readiness upon the instant
an alarm 10 given to speed away to the
place Of danger. With such efficient
means for putting out fires, and such
watchful vigilance. 1t seems rs II no
extensive burning down Of snow sheds
can possibly happen. Within fifteen
minutes from the time an alarm Is
given, at least one of these three water
trains can be Oh the spot at work.

SENSIBLE.

The Carson correspondent Of tile
Reno Crescent, writing under date Of
June 22nd, says:
The principal topic Of conversation,
politically, Is the abuse Of Mr. Sharon
by the Territorial Enterprise. The
change Is so sudden that people who
have read the paper for years cannot
realize it possible ; OH I'VE 60 so
far as to say that the editor Is coyertly
attempting to ALLEVIATE Mr.. Jones'
friends from him ; that the virulent
abuse IL rather assisting than lnjuring
Mr.. Sharon, Is patent to all. l merely
give you the opinions Of others, my
own / reserve and await further deyel-
opments. As far as my poor judgment
goes, l am inclined to the belief, that
fulsome tiattery and unnecessary abuse
are both beneath the dignity Of a
scholar and q gentleman to make use
Of. Iheard n pious old gentleman say
\ few days since "that he would ad-
wise Nj. Jones, IL he knew him, to ask
of all members Of the different Chris
tian churches to offer up prayers that
he may be delivered from his friends"
aud he thought the old gents head was

The Eureka Sentinel Of Friday
speaks OF hoodlumism as being ram
pant In that town. Three hoodlums, a
day or two before, marched into. a
dance house, dragged q man named
Sheney out from among a crowd into
the street, where they robbed him Of
about seyenty-ive dollars. The scamps
were subsequently arrested and put
under $1,000 bail each. The boldness
Of this robbery at once revived the idea
that a Vigilance Committee was neccs-
sary, and the general feeling and ex-
preston indicates that In case Of an
otherlike i~nfraction Of the laws, lynch
Ing will DO promptly resorted to. The
Seatiasl mentions the reorganization
of the old Vigilance Committee for nc.
tive service, and counsels moderation,
yet Is certain that extreme measures
will be- resorted to Ia cas Of any more
hoodlumism, aud not . very aggraya-
ted case at that.

THE plurE QUEEN ASSAULTED.

From the Humboldt Register, June al
The usually quiet denlzens Of VIM
nemucca were thrown into q fever OF
excitement last Tuesday over a diff
Guilty which occurred between a young
man employed as waiter at the Tray
elers' Home and Miss Sarah Winnie
mucca, Queen OF the Piutes. The
trouble occurred In the dinlng-room Of
the hotel, with no one but the COM
batants themselves to witness the af-
fair, consequently we can but give the
SEQUEL to the transaction. The young
man got of with a black eye, and Sal
lie with q severe jolt In the mouth,
which split her lip badly aud caused
the claret to flow most profusely. The
barkeeper interfered and stopped the
muss. Sallie rushed across the street
to procure q warrant for the arrest Of
her adversary, but before the papers
could be made out she went into
spasms, and soon after was taken In
charge by tho Indians and carried of
to camp. The whites, however, had
her conveyed from there to a room at
the French Hotel, where she lay for
two days in a stupor, apparently more
dead than alive. At one time her life
was despaired Of, but at last accounts,
however, ste was rapidly convalescing.
There are, Of course, all sorts Of ru-
mors afloat. Some say Sallie was the
aggressor, and others that she was not.
Some say she was drunk. while others
contend that she never drank. Some
who claim to know all about such
things say she was drugged, while
others, who claim to be qualify wise,
say 1t was nothing but an overdose OF
"mad I" that caused the stupor. Up
to this time there has been no arrests.
but 1t Is expected there will be as soon
as "Sally goes marching around"

A young woman recently presented
herself before the Faculty of Medicine
ut Munich for examination for a
license to practice a dentist. Being
refused, she went to Erlangen. The
question was here referred to the
Government ; who at once authorized
the examination, OIL the ground that It
was absurd to exclude a person desir-
Gus to submit herself to authorized
professional tests ofability by reason
Of her sex. The young woman trium-
phed, and, the German journals add, Is
likely to find Immediate imltators.
