In JUSTICE CouRr, yesterday, the State
of Nevada appeared in the person OF
William Patterson, and did prosecute,
in the first instance, one Charles Gates
for being so obscure of vision as to steal
a field glass from his fellow traveller
through this vale of tears, Joshua A. Bry-
ant. The plaintiff in dread of the vast
ing remarks of the awful attorney for the
people, exclaimed, ooh! me, miserable!
un,lean! I yield! my guilt covers me as
a pall!" The Court was moved to over
look deficiency of coin and sentenced the
penitent, by way of lesson to look
nearer and not at glass darkly, to fif-
teen days of Jail. And here cometh up
another wretch who spoke thus to the
multitude assembled upon the street cor
ner: II have no place to bunk. I am
like unto Jesus in this respect. Unlike
him, however, am without disciples to
take me in. am wearied to exhaustion
and no man thinks of me because my
money is gone. Therefore, l shall steal
in self defense and get sleep within the
now attractive walls of the county Jail. >
And having thus spoken, he went and
did as he had said. He lit upon pile OF
nondescript mittens, with ecstatic vision
of the jail bed before the eye of his
glowing fancy. He nipped the nittens
and he was in turn nipped by the out
ragged vender of wearing apparel, who
would fain have laid violent hands upon
the marauder, but withheld the blow, not
finding it in his heart to chastise soul
with heel who seemed SO sadly ''off. >
Hereupon did the well known ''Saffy''
draw nigh with the awfulness of subal-
tern majestracy playing abont his brow,
and did escort the weary man to his de-
sired prison bed, whence he was taken
yesterday, before His Honor Capt. With
erell, and sentenced to prolongation OF
his coveted rest to fifteen days. Dioge-
mes and his tub are, philosophfcally
speaking, lost in comparison with this
man and that bed in the county Jail
which he got in a way SO peculiar.
JoKE.-One of these has at last been
perpetrated in our august Senate, by a
Senator, in the form of bill Of which
notice was given. yesterday, by the
pleasant member, Doc. Walter. 1t reads
thus: can Act to suppress Peter Funk
lectures and to prosecute and punish re-
porters for putting the same" That re-
porters have sinned is clear from this
Document, but we are swamped in try
ing to get at the nature of their badness
from the Doctors bill. Peter Funk!
Peter! Funk Peter! Funk! That last
word was cruel enough, but when he adds
Peter to it, and fails to say whether it
was Peter Snodgrass. or Peter the same

Peter! Funky Peter! Here the senses
grow bewildered. Oh! Doctor, how
could you say so? Rise to explain to-
day, will you? Give the boys chance.
Funk! Peter Funk! Lectures! Oh! Doc

word? And then to put the reporters,
