Not Startling.

In a speech in Connecticut Mr.. Blaine
informed his hearers that if at the Presi-
Dental election in 1876 all the Southern
States were carried by the Democracy,
and New York, California and Connect
cut in addition to them, the Democrats
would elect their President There was
nothing startling in the information.
The statement would have been just as
true il Mr. Blaine had substituted the
word Republican" for Democracy"
! and it is simply owing to the fact that
the States which he has classcd as South
ern have 1873 electoral votes. He might
have also said that if the Middle and
| Western States were all carried by the
Democracy they would elect their Presi-
dent. even if New England and the en-
tire South went wholly Republican, and
Uice ue7,sd He could have added, as well,
that no single section-North, South,
East or Vests likely to go solidly in
| favor of any candidate, Republican or
Democrat, unless, indeed, the third-term
question should be forced upon the peo-
| pie by the denomination OF Grant. Inc
purpose of Mr.. Blaine was not, however,
simply to tell the people how many elect
| oral votes were necessary to eject
President, or t6point out the almost IN
Vulnerable combinations OF States by
which a President can be elected. 1t
was, if possible, to stir up sectional feel
ing. Mr.. Blaine is apparently not mu ch
better than other peddlers OF the gospei
of hate.-Detr0t Free Press.

A QUEER PET.-Among other
pets, Postmaster Davenport has
adopted large horned toad, which
is fast becoming tame. Through
some skirmish with the dangers of
the world the unfortunate batrachian
had lost its tail, but it is growing
out again as beautiful as ever. 1t
may not be generally known that
these little reptiles have within them
some element of nature which will
quickly reproduce their caudal ap
pendage if it happens by accident
or design to be severed from their
body. These horned toads also do
away with the necessity for the
weather signal service, and nine
times out of ten will denote change
of the weather with much more &C.
curacy than sold Probabilities
with his best luck. If the weather
is to grow colder, his toadship in
forms you Of the fact by squatting
close to the bottom of his cage, and
with closed eyes lies motionless.
Ifthere is to be rain, he is unusually
sprightly and hops around his habl-
tation with eyes sparkling like dia-
monds; when there is TO be a
marked increase of warmth, he opens
his prophetic fiy-trap and utters the
warning in repeated and ominous
croaks. All other reptiles are his
natural enemies. He fees from the
approach of snake like thief
from the police, and there are but
very few things he can get away
with in fair fight; one of these is
the fly. He manages this with the
judgment of veteran. He spits on
the end of his tongue, opens his
mouth, and when the unwary fly
lights thereon, Mr.. Toad lets his
upper jaw fall and has him. One
toad will hold two quarts of flies.

AS BENEFITS coach was coming
through Gold Hill from the circus
on Sunday evening, with heavy
load of passengers, a crowd of boys
and men climbed upon the hind
boot, fitting the front end of the
coach up and throwing the drivers
foot off the break. This let the
coach on to the horses and caused
them to run. There was a general
scrambling of the inside passen-
gers to get out, and in jumping
from the coach door, Mr.. Unger, of
Silver, received sprained ankle.
Young BENEFITS soon gained his
position on the break and stopped
the team within few rods. As we
have heard half-dozen different
exaggerated stories about the affair
some of which rival the New
Grenada earthquake story we
deemed it proper to give the facts
in the case. Mr.. Unger was the
only one severely hurt, and the
entire blame attaches to the parties
who mounted upon the hind boot
for free ride.

SUTRO LAKE.-It is not "a lake
margined by fruits of gold" like
Melnotte's, but an arti-fish al con-
Germ, created by the ingenuity of Mr..
.Sutro and the water from the tun-
mel. The dump piles of the great
bore has formed bank for the i'm
prisoned waters, which now spread
over surface of 200 by 800 feet,
and have depth of six or seven
feet. Iron flood gates have been
put in the valley frontage, and
through these, whenever desired,
the vast reservoir can be emptied
out upon the level, garden lands be-
low, causing them to bloom like an
Eden in midsummer or, should
the devastating grasshopper lay inn
lpious hands upon the "garden sass"
his legions can be deluged and
drowned like the sinners in the
flood. The proprietor has lately
constructed a rakish- looking water
craft, with which the admiring Wis
itor can while away the leisure
moments upon the placid bosom of
fhis infant ocean. Fish will soon be
put in to multiply, and grow fat for
dainty appetites and the sport of the
angler, while the glossy and frugal
duck will shove his breast through
the waves and scoop up with his
william the unfortunate grasshopper.
Withal, the idea is IA good one, and
puts to good use the water which is
constantly flowing through the tun.

SroCKs.-The market is still weak
ening under the pressure OF the
"bears" and the continued demand
for gold in the East. With gold SELL
ing at 1907 8 in New York; with re-
peated and heavy assessments on
the mines, combined with the stren-
uous efforts being made by the bears,
the only wonder is that the market
breaks so slowly as it does. We do
not believe any Of the leading stocks

to see them keep on sinking just so
long as the price Of gold can be
kept where it Is at present.
