EXTREMELY SENSITIVE.

Evidently the Truckes hepublicau hss
trodden upon somebody's toes; at least
We judge 50. after reading the following
paragraph;
II is impossible to edit local news
paper in a town as large and important
as Truckee without treading on some
body's corns. i local writer may steer
ever so clear OF direct personalities, aud
yet in spite Of all his efforts, and before
he is aware OF il, he will find that be Is
weaving garments that fit some one
perhaps some OF his friends-altogsther
too closely. II we should state in the
Republican that we believed there were
twenty-five men in Truckee engaged in
stealing sheep, We should expect in
few hours after the paper was issued to
see twenty-five men enter our sanctum,
all well armed with revolvers and shot
guns, demanding if we meant them. But
then, after ell, we like our occupation,
AMI it is Il pleasure to witness how sensi-
tive people are to what newspapers say.
1t proves that newspapers have on inau-
ence in waking the people up, causing
them to think and arousing their sus-
picions when nothing else would.
Sensitiveness Is one of the noblsst
qualities, when guided by common sense
and supported by good reasoning quail
ties. The possessor of this quality is
ready to repel at any time an insinuation
against his motives, but is as willing to
concede purity of intention to others as
he is DESTROYS that his motives should
never be impuuged. Sensitiyeness, in
its proper sense, is never liable to abuse,
but when ignorant, vicious, stupid dolts
ape the airs Of sersitiveness, then is
presented to the contemplation Of
a man Of brains scene NJ childish
absuridity which goes far beyond
the ludierous and ridiculous. In the
contemplation of such scene it is
impossible for anger TO enter in--mirth
and nauseating sense OF disgust forbid
it. We have known things to be said
with the best Of motives, and without in
tending to wound the feelings Of any one,
at which nr. Y. we will say, flies into
binders, and becomes utterly inconsola-
BILE lie will accept no explanation, and
will so down to his grave happily nest
ling the thought that he has been foully
wronge1, WHEN in truth the utterer OF
the words never dreamed of Mr.. Y in
connection with the affair Newspaper
men have so much of this sensitive non
sense to contend with that it takes all
the philosophy they can command to
meet difficulties into which they are
drawn not intrequenty, As every man
OF intelligence knows misplaced COM
ma OK n word omitted will sometimes
give q meaning entirely different to what
the writer intended; and If such an IN.
toward even: does occur the spuriously
sensitive sees in it nothing hut m inten
ton to injure hun, and instead OF asking
for an explanation he turns Il deaf ear
and will be satisfied with nothing but th
darling belief that he has been outraged
If all the world we're as sensitive as som
people try to make it appear that ths.
are, there would not b. two friends LEI
in the wide world, Ia the very natur
of things, man is liable to error, but it i,
only in cases where the erring refuse t.
make any PREPARATION that error become
uncomfortable.

An old project has been revived for the
construction Of a railroad from a point
on the Mississippi in direct line to San
Francisco. The route indicated is by
way of the valley of the Arkansas River
to the Rocky Mountains, through the
Sangredo Cristo Pass, into the San Luis
Park, thence over the second range OF
the mountains to the Rio Colorado, and
thence, by the most convenient route, to
San Francisco. The corporators are
mainly citizens Of Arkansas, Missouri,
Utah and California. Among them are
ex-senator Rice, of Arkansas. ex-Repre-
sentative Henry T. Blow, of Missouri,
and three sons of brigham Young. The
right of way across the public lands is all
that the bill asks.

broken. he had evidently adjusted the
rope and jumped from a ladder which
was standing near. Only last year he
buried his wife, leaving him alone in the

bly, led to his suicide. Mr.. Winkleman
was German by birth, farmer, and
