doing. This gentleman reported what
he had seen At the Chief Signal Office at
Washington. The Office at once sup
piled Mr. Friend with blanks and charts

Of the weather, the rainfall, &c. THE
only instruments in his studio not Of his

by the Signal Bureau for measuring the

this Observatory and make it perfect

and certain other instruments which are
furnished by tho Department. Mr..
Friend has suggested tho placing of
these at his disposal. but as yet they
have been withheld. mind, Mr.. Friend

suggestion to the Legislature: Appoint
a committee to visit Mr. Friends Obser-

corning the same. If, after they have
seen what is to be seen there they do not
recommend the passage of a joint reso-

RELIEF FOR THE KANSAS-NE
BRASKA SUFFERERS.

A Destiny seems to have linked to-
| gsther for all time the names which are
inseparably connected with the repeal Of
the Missouri Compromise. The States
| formed out Of what were once the Terri
tories of Kansas and Nebraska share q
common and startling calamity now. As
during the days OF the Lecompton De-
mocracy, their settlers experienced the
bloody fsuds and scoureins raid Of Bor-
der Ruffians A cloud Of all-devourlng
gra>sh"ppers, sixty milesS in width.
ewooped across the fertile fields of those
States last Summer. The ravenous in
sects left no crumbs behind. The stand
ing corn; the potato crop; all gardens
and tia. leaves of all tre-s-even dresses
and ropes were devOured. Farmers
who were in opulence; settlers whoae
gladdest hopes seemed about to be real
and credit depended upon the successful
Sarnering of the harvest are ruined.
Cattle and horses have died by thou
sands Where wealth nboundrd and
comfort seemed assured. penury and
gaunt famine brood and stalk abroad.
In this emergency the heart of generous
Nevada is appealed to. Reliefis needed.
Money is asked for-not with besSariy
whine. but as one honest man in distress
asks his neighbours hand to lift him up
in time of need. Shall this appeal pass
unheeded here? No The question has
but to BE- presented to the apprehension
of this people and the response will be
prompt. generous, hearty. Wells, Fargo
4 Co. have offered the facilities for for
warding the asked-for relief. Moneys
left at the Carson Agency. and placed in
the hands Of Mr.. Rice will be forwarded
without cost or delay. Let Carson dis
tinguish herself in this emergency.

Mr. CASSIDY has given not ice of Bill
providing for the removal of the State
University from ElkO to Carson. This
indicates not only Mr. Cassidy's known
lberality and breadth of views. but it is
an act typical Of the general disposition
of the members of this Legislature to do
the handsome thing for Carson. Let
our citizens meet this broad gan ge gensr-

united action bring to bear all available
influence in favor of the Incorporation

INCONGRUIrIES.

When the w-;inkers Who devised the
instrument known as the Constitution
Of the State Of Nevada were gathered
together, the miracle which came upon
the builders of the Tower of Babel was
mildly r-peated-6euratively. and not
literally nor profanely speaking. There
came down. as from the realms Of Chaos
and old Night, cloud-burst of old Law

the legal traditions of ED. The lawyer

Passengers from the East, who see
nothing but sandy sagebrush waste
along the railroad, appear much sur
prised when in reply to their interro
gatories, relative to the large white
building near the railroad track. from
which jets of steam are constantly
emitted, they are informed that that
building is Touring mill. They can
scarcely conceive that there is an ex-
tensive agricultural valley screened from
view by the range of mountains which
skirt the valley of the Humboldt east
of Winnemucca, or that nestled in the
canyons OF the mountain ranges which
terminate abruptly within few miles
OF the sandy plain through which the
ircn horse courses, are many excellent
ranches, which produce large quanti-
ties OF wheat and barley. Even as
intelligent a person as Henry Uav
Dean was deceived on this point, and
came to the conclusion before he ar
rived here, that Nevada was unfit for
anything except cattle range. A visit
to kemler's mill at the present time
Will convince the most skeptical, how
ever, that there are valleys in Nevada,
and within few mikes of these sandy
deserts, that produce grain superior in
quality, and averaging more to the acre
than the great prsiries of the West,
which have been called the granary of
the United States. In this mill at the
present time sacks of wheat are piled
from floor to ceiling, which for plump
ness and soundness of berry cannot be
exeelied 40 the world. Last evening
we visited this mill and ascertained by
reference to the books that there are
over 500, 900 pounds of grain slowed
within aud on the platform of the
building at the present time. This.
too, is enly a portion of the wheat
raised Ia Paradise Valley this season.
Strangers are still more surprised when
they learn that in the Valley there are
other mills, and that its crop the
present season is capable of supplying
Eastern Nevada with as fine brands of
bread stufs as the Genessee or any
other valley in the United States pro-
duces.

a family bound for California had an
idiotic boy whom they kept strapped

one of the most pitiable specimens of
humanity that could be imagined. His

without any apparent cause. he became

the Interior because, like the great gift
taker. Zach loves whisky. We are now
informed that though Zach's gurgling
propensities may have had something
to do with his appointment. the princi-
pal reason for his receiving it was that
Grant kicked the Michigan Statesman
in the streets of Washington at one
time, while both were under spiritual
influences, and he wanted to make
amends for the insult, and convince
the people that he was not incapable
