INDIAN CoRN.-No story of heather
mythology (says a writer in Appteton's
Journal which tells Of the transforma-
ton of human or celestial beings into
plants or trees Is SO beautiful as that
one In which the North American In
dlans give the origin Of their maize,
which Is, In substance, that a beautiful
girl, pursued by a river god, took
refuge among the reeds, twining them
about her to hide herself, upon which
her slender form was changed into a
graceful stalk, her teeth into milk
white kernels, and her lovely, floating
hair into silk and in place Of reeds
and maiden there stood only a tall,
bending stalk Of Indian corn so that
ever after In the rustic Of a waving
cornfield the red man could hear the
stirring of a company Of timlld girls.

Newspaper Postage.

An important change In the postal
laws In reference to the transmission
of newspapers through the mails =
contemplated, says the Philadelpnia
Ledger. At present the postage on
newspapers Is paid by the subscriber
at the office where he receives his pa
per, while every newspaper publisher
has also the right to send, free OF post
age, one copy Of his paper to any other
newspaper, this provision being known
as the Exchange system. The only
papers that are prepaid are the COM
paratively small number SEM tran
silently "to people who are not regu..
lar subscribers. The bulk Of the printed
matter sent through the mails Is either
free matter, or else that which Is paya-
BILE quarterly or at the time Of delivery.
The abuses Of the ranking system and
the agitation for It's repeal are we'll
known. The sending Of newspapers
without prepayment Is also subject to
great abuse, and the change In the pos
tai law now contemplated In the meas
ure before the Postal Committee Of the
House, Is for the purpose Of securing
the prepayment OF postage on all
printed matter sent through the mails.
An estimate made by the Postmaster
General shows that during the last
year there were sent through the malls
eight hundred millions Of copies OF
daily newspapers, six hundred mil.
lions OF weekliesc and one hundred
millions of monthlies and other pub
llcations. The aggregate Is 1,6O0,0O
600 copies, upon which the legal post
age collectible amounted to : 1882.
307. The Department, however, only
got $9s5,9l0; so, that over a million
and a quarter Of money was either not
c~ollectible or was lost In some unex-
planned way. The printed matter,
which thus returned less than a million
dollars. weighed more than twenty
times the aggregate letter mails trans
mitted during the year, although the
latter paid nearly nineteen and a half
millions of dollars. The prepayment
of postage on newspapers, the Post
master General thinks, will not only
enable the Government to collect all
the printed postage due, but will also
decrease the bulk Of mails on leading
routes, for carrying which some OF our
railways are demanding largely In
creased compensation.

P~ahranaqat Bullion.

The Phoebe Record Of February 9th,
says: We last evening had the pleas
ure of meeting j. A. Bidwell, from
Crescent City, Superintendent OF the
Crescent mill at that place. He brought
In for shipment 2,400 oucces Of bullion.
This Is. the first silver received from
Pahranagat District for about two
years. 1t was produced from ore from
the List and Bslbach ledges-about an
equal quantity from each. The Ores.
cent Ia now In constant operation, aud
there Is considerable ore on the ground
from these lodges. Work Is p~roseeut-
cd with full forces In both, large guam
titles of ore being hoisted, and 1t Is
reasonable to suppose the future bull.
lion shipments from Pahranagat will
make an important item In the silver
expectation Of Southeastern Nevada.

Mark Twain's Advice to Sercnaders.

Don't stand right under the porch
and howl, but get out In the middle oil
tho street, or better still, OH the other
side of 1t. Distance lends enchant-
ment to tho sound. Don't let your
screaming tenor oar al octave above
all the balance of the chorus, and re.
main there, setting everybody's teeth
on edge for blocks around ; aud above
all, don't let him sing a solo; prooa-
bly there is nothing In the world SO
suggestive Of serene contentment and
perfect bliss rs the spectacle of a calf
chewing a dish-rag; but the nearest
approach to it Is your reedy tenor.
standing apart, in sickly attitude,
with head thrown back and eyes up
lifted to the moon, piping his distress
ing solo. Now do not pass lightly
ove this matter, friend, but ponder 1t
with that seriousness which its import
ance entities it to. As soon rs you
start, gag your tenor, otherwise he
will be letting off a screech, every
now and then, to let the people know
he Is around. Your amateur tenor Is
VIGOROUSLY the most self-conceited OF
all Gods creatures.

Mr.. McCllnton said he did not know
any place that needed such a law more
than Carson did he said 1t has more
churches, and greater multiplicity Of
gambling houses, openly conducted,
than any place In the State In proper
ton 70 population that they even
gamble for the support of the churches.
Mr.. Crawford suggested that the Leg
islature Is now IN session, aud people
must not judge Carson as 1t now APP
peared. Mr.. McClinton admitted that
the Legislature was exercising some
thing Of a restraining influence on the
Carson folks. Mr.. Lockwood sug-
gested that they never had a Vigilance
Committee In Carson, to which The Is
from Aurora) Mr.. McCllnton retorted;
that before they had a Vigilance Com
mittee In Aurora It was almost as bad,
morally. as Carson. Mr.. Mills, VINO
favors the general tenor OF the oill,
finally withdrew his motion, and Mr.
Lockwood moved to appoint a COM
mittee ofonc, with instructions to aitix
a penalty tor certain violations OF the
law, and to report ut ll:3O A. II. TO-
morrow.
There was no session Of the Assem-
bly, this morning, owing to the fact
that n large number Of the members
we're absent, on account of the deten.

a recess until 3 p. n. Mr.. Drake In
troduced a bill to authorize Lander
county to subscribe to the stock OF the
| Humboldt and Colorado River Rail-
road Company. Old Lander Is able
and willing to aid in the construction
Of any railroad which will give 1t
communication, and as the million
Eaires of "Charcoal Flat" want a rail-
road for the exclusive Use Of their TO be
new county OF Eureka, Lander Is
looking out beforehand for itself. The
Committee on Counties aud County
Boundaries have presented majority
and minority reports on the Eureka

length, l will not here discuss the
merits of either of them. The bill has
been made the special order for next

I will have to reserve my praises of II

UNIQUE OBrTUARY.-An exchange
comments on the death Of the late king
of the Sandwich Islands, thus:
King Kamehameha, of the Sandwich
Islands, who recently passed In his
royal checks. was about AZ years old,
and had reigned nine years. He was a
fat and jolly monarch, and could drink
more brandy straight than any man
with whom we have ever passed a
night In Bacchanal conviyiallty. Five
haIf-pint "horus per hour was about
his usual gait. He was also endowed
with a most capacious stomach, and
could stow away more raw fish than
Woodward's sea lion. AS a monarch
he did not amount to much. but as an
eater and drinker he was a success.
May the sod rest lightly upon his cpl
curean stomach"

Deserving of Clemency.

There Is a young fellow In the
P%enitentiary by the name Of Curran,
who, we think, Is a deserving object
of the clemency of the Pardoning
Board. The circumstances leading
up to his Imprisonment are these, as
we have been informed Curran,
who Is a mere lad, has been for four
or five years working in the Crown
Point mine, where he began work as
a "plck boy" Some time ago he
had q quarrel with a man who worked
In the same mine, and this man at
tackled him and beat him with great
severity. In retaliation for this beat
ing Curran shot his assailant, wound
Ing him in one Of his legs. Being
made the subject Of q complaint at
law, Curran offered to satisfy the
wounded man (who Is restored to per-
feet soundness of limbl by paying him
n considerable amount Of damages
also begging to be allowed to plead
guilty 10 an assault and thus avoid
the disgrace Of a term In the State
Prison. All these offers were declined.
and Curran's antagonist developed IN.
to his deadly enemy and proceeded
to prosecute him with ~implacable vim

ton In the District Court upon a charge
of assault to murder /; and here the boy

GRACE Greenwood writes from
the Senate gallery In Washington:
Mr.. Nye spoke Of his own speech
rs possibly the last he should make In
the Senate. He had just heard the news
from the legislature Of Nevada. He
takes his supersedure with philosophic
GOODNESS and Christian submission ; he
makes 1t more q case Of regisnation
than ofdefeat."
Dear innocent. Mr.. Nye sold his
claim to John z. Jones, and had checks
OF $50, 900 on the Bank Of California as
long ago as August; and the transac-
tlon was then, and Is now, as notorl-
Gus as the heather Chinee game itself.

The SuTRo TUSNEL.-Commentlng
upon the objections expressed in Con-
gress by Mr.. Sargent to the Sutro Tun-

says:
We think Mr.. Sargent's objections
to be we'll founded. 1t Is about time
the Government discontinued the prac-
tice Of lavishly donating gifts OF money
and lands to corporations, and the SUI
tro tunnel promises to become In time

their money squandered In this reck.
less manner, and want 1t stopped, and
the sooner the better.

THE MINERS INTEREST.

Whatever Is for the actual interest
and benefit Of our miners Is literally
considered. conducive to the general
INTEREST," Of the whole community. where
miners form a large component part,
vet, after a careful reading Of the Act
introduced BY Senator Phelan before
the Legislature to incorporate the
Miners Union land the Ancient Order
Of Hiberniansl we must confess our
inability to see just where there Is any
real benefit or advantage to the Union
In such incorporation. The members
thereof, however, have better opportu-
mites or judging in the matter than
we have, and therefore will take such
action regarding 1t as they see fit. The
Union, as 1t stands, has thus far exer-
.ised a generally beneficial effect, both
mutually, and to the interests Of mine
owners and all concerned. 1t certainly
Is to the interest Of the Union TO ad-
init only good men into the organiza-
ton, and just such men a. are needed
In the working Of the mines. They
take care Of their own sick or disabled
members, and In case Of death, attend
to the proper burial, at their own ex-
pense, II necessary. In the regulation
and keeping up OF the rate Of wages,
too, they work beneficially to them
selves and the community where those
wages are expended.
The mutually or opposition Of in-
terests Of labor and capital have been
unanimously discussed BY the ablest
brains and pens in both this country
and Europe, and the whole sums down
to the settled point that skilled, intel
ligent labor. efficiently organized and
conducted, Is the most available, re-
liable and profitable. Capital finds it to
be 80 from experience. For these rea-
Sons we have always advocated. and
Endorsed the Miners Union and SINH
lar labor organizations, when conduct

principles, US Of mutual benefit to both
employers. the employed, and the
community at large.
