day forenoon, in the final argument of
the motion for an injunction in Raymond
4 Ely VS.. Phoebe Phenix, the vigorous
closing remarks Of Judge Bishop, for the
defense, were altogether too enthusing
for some of the SPECTATORS to contain
themselves. They had to applaud and
thereupon the dsinterested auditors were
treated with rendition of the following
serio-comic drama without charge, all
the actors being as well up in their parts
in the impromptu performance as if they
had rehearsed dozen times:
His Honor-Mr. Clerk, call the Sheriff.
(Sheriff appears) Mr.. Sheriff, find out
who those men are who applauded.
First CitizenI am one, your honor.
His Honor-Mr. Clerk, enter fine
against him of $25.
Second Citizen-I am another, your
honor.
His Honor-Fine him S25, too.
Friendly Attorney--Your honor, hope
these fines will be remitted the gentle
First Citizen, Throwing down check
No, don't want to apologize I'll pay
the fine; take out the fine of my friend,
too.

To break the tedium of dry legal pro-
ceedings these little side diversions are
ever welcomed by disinterested specta-
tors, and on this occasion even affected
the gravity of the bar and court officers !;
but as the zest of such performances con-
ssts mainly in the tone and style of the
performers, the best part is lost in the
Reproduction. All got their moneys
worth but the fine payers.
REcHERcHE.-One of the most elegant
and sumptuous suppers ever spread
In the State of Nevada some of the
attaches of the REcoRp Office partici-
pated in the enjoyment of at the Star
Restaurant, Main street, night before
last. In glancing alone the heavily and
richly laden tables, with their variety Of
fruits, confectioneries and other delica-
cles, and detailing the choice edibles and
wines in the back ground, we could
scarcely realize that hundreds Of miles
interviewed between us and the great
markets of the world. The Star is be-
coming de;ervedly popular among those
VINO appreciate good living. Mr.. and
Mrs. Stansield are not excelled as cater
ers for the public.
"A SPECIMEN OF NUMEROUS CLASS

unexceptionable muscular development,
came limping up to Mr.. Fulks, Chair
man Of the Board Of County Commits
sioners, the other day, and asked for a
permit to enter the County Hospital.
surveying the applicant from head to
loot IN bewilderment, Mr.. Fulks de-
handed to know the ground Of the re-
1uest. why, yer see," replied he,

lnfrequent.
