A Curious Specimen.-our Office
has been presented with queer
formation or growth which has been
found in the bottom of a quart
champagne bottle. The bottle had
long since been drained of its spark
ling juice, and cast away like n
worthless casket, robbed of its onl y
jewel, to mold, neglected and for
gotten by those who once held it to
their lips, kissed its bright tears
away and sang praise to its merits
cast way by the world and society
like that poor, half-crazed old man
whose reeling, drunken steps and
weird mutterings are the daily jest
OF the thoughtless youth or the
coarse Jester on our streets day after
day. F." Don't mind him-he is a
drunken old tool, and he can't come
the remark, and how often we have
seen him thrust from the door whose
threshold his Keeling footsteps would
cross. He, too, like that old bottle
whose lips he has too often kissed,
is cast away as useless. otis true;
It's pity; and pity It's it's true" The
whitened locks and wrinkled visage,
the form bent by weight of years
and the rude storms of life, call
forth no reverential bow from those
whose vigor, youth and honor still
remain. Once young and comedy,
brilliant in intellect and pleasant Of
speech, with admiring friends, and
with some one, too, perhaps, to love
him and kiss away his heart sor-
rows-to-day, poor old man! There's
none so poor to do him honor. In
the broken casket of glass, where
long ago glistened the pearly, lus-
cious wine, was found a genial
that was left to tell of its forgotten
glory; and could we but look down
deep In the broken heart Of that
white-haired old man, who doubts
That there should be found the treas
ure of manhood so long lost and ne
elected. Honor once gained may de-
part, but its shadows shall long ling
'er on the throne from whence II has
fallen--but pardon, our unruly PEN
Gil has strayed from its subject, the
=" curious specimen. 1t is no less
than the offspring Of the mother "
Of wine, which had formed into a
mass of jet-black fibres, most re-
sembling tho fine silky hair OF an
infant. The sediment, or " MOTHER"
had dried hard in the bottom of the
bottle, and from this the curious
growth had sprung. The fibres or
hair is three or four inches in length
and very beautiful. We have shown
the specimen to several scientific
gentlemen, but have yet received no
satisfactory explanation OF its pro-
perties or the conditions of things
necessary to turn champagne into
halr. The specimen will be sent to
the Pacific Coast Pioneers.

GIRL LOST. - Our reporter has
found the following record of what
seems to be a stray girl. We pub
lish it for the benefit of the bercaved
parents. What must be the anguish
of a doting father and mother who
have reared to girlhood their pratt
Ting infant but to lose her in this
cold and uncharitable world! She
was last seen going into Main street
dry goods. This is the brief but sor-
rowful record--only this, and nothing
more.

A CAT WITH Six LEGS. = A
woman in Carson has a tabby cat;
said cat being intelligent, good
natured and affectionate. One day
last week she brought into the
world nine young kittens, and
among the number, two have six
legs each. Now this kind of news
we can receive with calmness, and
we can all retain our composure,
even if cats shall make a general
practice of accumulating legs, I'M
til every cat on the face of the
earth is as we'll equipped in this
respect as a centipede. But when
they begin to acquire more voice,
it will be time for the country to
rise. When they begin to retrench
in legs and to expand in lungs
when they commence to sing fur
ther up the scale, and to introduce
new varieties of vowels - when
they set up fog whistle as their
standard, and then determine to
beat it or bust, then there ought to
be popular earthquake, and there
will be. The American people are
a patient race, but there is place
where they draw line. 1t is at
abnormally vociferous cats.
Mr.. r. T.. Picotte, editor Of the
Sutro Independent, favored our sane
tum with a call last evening. He is
as Jolly Bohemian as one would
wish to meet; has his paper now
running smoothly, and seems well
pleased with the prospects. There
is no such word as fail with friend
Picotte, and when the surface of that
orthodox conglommeration of brim-
stone and warm rain water finally
congeals, Picotte will be found run
ming over the ice asking" Where
in HI is the mouth of that tun.

FIRST NEVADA ARTILLERY.
Its Organization Last Night.

1t will be o matter of State pride
to learn that in addition to our very
efficient State militia that we are
to have first-class, we'll disciplined
artillery company. Pursuant to a
call from Judge Rising, of Virginia,
a meeting was held in the District
Court room of Storey county last
evening for the purpose of organ
izing, and electing the officers of the
FIRST NEVADA ARTILLERY.
The meeting was presided over
by Mai. Comstock, staff officer of
the Nevada State Militia, who call
ed the meeting to order and stated
its objects. Something over one
hundred applicants were on the
roll for membership yesterday,
majority of whom appeared and
participated in the organization of
the company. 1t is intended that
this branch of the fighting force of
Nevada shall consist of one hundred
experienced men, and to this end
no applicants have been received
who have not seen active service in
the field. The battery will consist
of two six-pound field pieces with
full equipments, six horses to each
gun, and the company are to be
provided with all the latest i'm
proved implements of warfare. The
following are the
COMMISSIONED OFFICERS SELECTED:
F. G. Lord, Captain; A. Grail, First
Lieutenant, and Howard Hill, Sec
one Lieutenant. Captain Lord, now
of the Internal Revenue Office at
Virginia, served long and faith
fully as captain of artillery during
the rebellion, and brought home a
record which Justly entities him to
his present rank. Lieut.. Grail,
served four years in an Ohio cav
airy regiment and bears the com
pliments of the enemies bullets re-
ceived at Gettysburg Lieut.. How
ard Hill, has three years active
experience in the engineers and
infantry and was down on the Po-
tomac during the war. The Off
| GERS, as well at the men, have just
the right experience to render the
First Nevada Artillery the crack
, company of the Pacific Coast.

FIGHTING JOE" AGAIN.
ONE OF THE MOST BRUTAL
AFFAIRS YET HEARD OF.
JOE GETS INTO A FIGHT AND
ACTUALLY TEARS HIS VIC.
TINS EYE FROM THE
SOCKET
THE FIEND STILL AT LARGE.

Once more we are called upon to
bring into public notice and disgrace,
the pugnacious exploits of this in
human brute. Adhering to the fixed
principle which should of right be
embodied in the editorial conduct of
every journalist, we do not hesitate to
lay before the eye of public condem-
nation the british acts of "Fighting
joe" the terror of Silver City, who
has again awakened the admiration
of his "feilows," by a deed so
dining that the Immaculate vir-
tues of generation of christian an
cestors cannot excuse or palate the
crime. The circumstances as detail
ed to us by MI. Beach, who was an
eye witness to the encounter, are sub
'stantially the following: "Fighting
Joe" and his partner were returning
from Gold Hill on Sunday morning
and had got to the entrance of the
Devils Gate, when three former as
sociates of Joe's came out near the
toll house. The parties had for some
time had grudge against each other,
and it could be easily seen that row
was eminent. Being
THREE TO ONE,
Joe did not seem anxious to settle the
difficulty, at that time, and rather
took a back seat in the violent re-
ordinations until the larger of the
three DULLES, without much previous
warning bounced Joe in the middle
of the road This was the signal for
the two companions of the assaulting
party, who sailed in rough and tum-
BILE. For moment it seemed as if
the scar faced brute with the fighting
name, was to get the worst of the
tussle, but after severe combat, with
first one on top and then the other,
the parties suddenly separated and
two of
