WAsHoE LAKE AND GAME.-We learn
from hunters who go out occasionally to
Washoe Lake, that the sloushs to the
west of it are dry. The Lake itself is
very shallow, not deeper at any point
than n mans neck. In fact, in several
places far out blades OF delicate green
grass may be seen shooting up from the
surface of the transparent water. One
big snow storm will turn the numerous
sloughs into 81 many Independent little
lakes, and swell the main body of water
way out upon the shores. Then for
ducks and geese Ill earnest. At present,
though the ducks are not scarce. and the
geese squawk and fly about swarminSly,
they are hard to get at. The game
brought in from the Lake SO far has
been fat and fine.

RANCHMAN ROBBED. - An elderly
rancher, a man who we would Judge by
his manners to be heavy weight among
his neighbors, presented himself at a
corner saloon, night before last, and
called for a bed. When told that he
would have to put up for his lodging in
advance, he owned to being dead broke.
and offered to put his green blanket
oyercoat in soak for Il dollar-he waited
to sleep comfortably and did t want
any four-bit bed in his" Nobody
wanted his half-worn coat; little expect
ing to see its proprietor cut ont valu-
able breach from one of the sleeves
where it had been carefully sewed in.
He went out and came back with the
necessary coin which he put UP for his
lodging. The barkeeper restored MIN a
watch which he had left in the saloon,
and had forgotten all about. Sharks
we're around. When. the rancAer came
TO the surface again next day everything
he had brought with him 10 town in the
shape of money. some 500. AMI jewel

were we. ont OF regard 10 the same. to
maintain silence concerning the grave
sense of dissatisfaction which his lasty
adjournment Of the November term Of

members Of the OIinsby County Bar.
We have heard. since that Adjournment

ture action. One case involving nearly
twenty thousand dollars is thus post

aud we hear 4 several other cases which
we're properly tli2ble during the term
which has thus been brought to an
abrupt and untimely close. We beg,
With all due respect TO Judge Harris, to
say that he has made a mistake in thus
sacrificing the public business to his own
private attairs-Unless, indeed. matters
Of vital importance TO himself OF his
family demanded his immediate atten-
ton.

Concealed weapons.

The carrying of concealed weapons
is authorized 10y law in the State of New
York, and the inventive genius of some
yankee has succeeded in producing an
instrument under the disguise of re-
spectacle looking cane, which is sup.
posed TO render the concealment per.
feet and give the possessor very eff.
fective weapon for his defense. The
Instrument is described to be simply a
breech- loading rife carried as cane
The Nebulous Editor of the GALAXY
thus explains the modas operandi of the
weapon: "If you are assaulted, you
naturally lift your cane, and your assail-
ant as naturally seizes it. The moment
he pulls at the butt-end, the barrel
of the rife is drawn out, the cartridge
comes into place, and the rife is at full
cock. All you have to do is to pull the
trigger" It seems that the only trouble
about the thing is in getting the thiei
to take hold of your cane.

Mode of Electing a Pope.

When vacancy occurs in the Papa.
cy, the government Of the Church de-
wolves I'D interim, on the Sacred Coll
ege. To this body belongs also the
right of electing successor to the de-
deceased Pope. When complete,the Sa-
cred College consists of. seventy mem
bers. At present it numbers only fifty
five members, composed of five cardi-
mails of the order of bishops, thirty
four of the order of priests, and six Of
the order of deacons. This body elects
the new Pope by ballot, and must go on
voting till two-thirds of their number
lstNe agreed upon one name. The elec.
ton of the present Pope was unani-
nous To those who care to discuss
the question of who is to be the success
or of Plus *, it may be interesting to
know that the nationalities of the forty
three members of the Sacred College
are as follows: Italian, thirty-three
French, five; German, three; Spanish,
three; English, Cardinal Cullen) one.
1t will thus be seen that, if there is any
thing in the ties of nationality, the next
Pope ought to be an Italian, as natives
of Italy constitute two-thirds of the
Sacred College, with three votes to
spare. To any one who expects the
Cardinals to lie somewhat permeated
with modern ideas, an inspection OF
their ages is not encouraging. The
united ages of the lot amount TO 1907
years, giving an average to each about
sixty-seven years. Ten of them were
born in the last century-the Oldest be-
ing the Archbishop of Chambery, who
is in his ninety-frst year. The youn-
eest member of the College is Cardinal
Lucien Bonapart, who is forty-four years
old, and who will probably be a good
deal older before he is again considered
an eligible candidate for The Papal
chair.

The prevailing method Of wearing
both hats and bonnets, is to carry them
back from the brow as far. as possible,
thus barring the entire front portion OF

shapes given to bonnets many are MADE
to sit closely about the head, Others have
brims that roll upward like hat, and
others again have their backs reversed,
and display coronet fronts. Young la
dies seem to prefer those with rolling
contours about their entire edges, while
more matronly women select frames that
have diadem fronts and depressed backs.
Crowns are somewhat wider and slightly
shallower than they were last season. but
such effects are produced by manifest
enhancement of BREADTH In hats, the

proceeded to strip him. Underneath
his shirt, and suspended by string
around his neck was a small canvas bag,

contain his commission as brevet Major

from Grant ahd one from President

that doubtless one day crept over the
