DIR. GALLAUDET DUMBFoUNDED.-
When Clerk johnson called for JoIr
Joe jim the Special Sessions n0tlong ago
and officer went to the door of the pri
son pen and led forth a gorilla-man
His head was shaped like that of a largs
monkey. The resemblance was mads
more striking by the hair, which wa.
short, brown, and silky, and hung oil
his head exactly as itdoes on a monkeys
This hi or idiot stood at the bar witt
his deformed head hung down. Eli.
eyes expressed absolutely nothing.
The charge was that the prisoner haH
stolen d silver watch from Eliza Brown
The trial had been twice postponed os
account of the difficulty in procuring All
interpreter. The lips of the man monkey
had not been opened from the time ~
his arrest, except to take in his fooU
and seemingly he did not realize hi
position in prison or in court. Yeste9s
day the distinguished DR.. Gallaudet d
tended the court as interpreter.
The Doctor approached the maj NOR
key and lie looked ait him attentivel
for q long time. Then turned to tl
Court, saying " have never seen Ill

ask him TO plead to it. Up went Dg

no response. After several trials hs
failed to make him comprehend, D..
GaIlaudet turned to the Court:
"YOur Honors. this is sad case. III
poor fellow doesn't even know the dea
mutes Alphabet.
The man-monkey now began to if
dulge his own fancy for mysteriOF
signs. He drew his right hand aero
his left wrist as though to cut it O
and repeated the operations with H.
left hand on his right wrist. Then III
shottwo fingers of his right hand MI
wards, and reversing them, pointed
downward. This was Egyptian to DIT
Gallaudet, and he suggested that til
Court proceed with the III on q Pile
Of not guilty.
AT this point one of the prisoners step
ped from the prison pen and shouted tai
the Court, "That man amt deaf 81

his name wasn't Doe, and he said / Wa

Al o of laughter burst from the
spectators, the Court joining. Mr.
Brown began 10 tell her story, but slN
was suddenly interrupted by q stent0F
ian voice from the scruby mouth OF tN
dumb man. The voice said:
Yer HonOrs, T plade guilty.
Another roar of laughter from C0ug
and spectators. Then Justice Otter

EprroR SILVER STATE: The men of

Boundaries last night in order 10 give

sett aud Hon. &. 5. Varian.
The divisioui>,s arr in furry owing

the matter-ot-fact evidence given by
the citizens present
Your resolutions putting forth the
feelings of the people, commands at
tentlon ut the hands of the Legislature,
aud am convinced FROM my knowledge
of the gentlemen who form the Conn
mittee on Counties and Comfy Bound
aries, justice will be done in manner
honorable to them ard deserving the
gratitude of Huniioidt.
The divlsionists were struck dnmb
when remonstraEces from the southern
portion of the county were delivered,
proving to all the dishonest attempts
made to secure division without con
sulting the feelings aud interests OF the
people vt large.
The gentlemen of the committee are
impartially determined to do their duty
honorably aud faithfully, so Humboldt
need have no fears for the result.

THE REGISTER ON THE PRO
POSED MARRIAGE BILL.

WINNEMUccA, Feb. II.
EDITOR SILvkR STATE: Permit me
through your columns to call attention
to an article in the Humboldt Register
Of yesterday headed A Bad Bull. IN
which the bill how before the Nevada
Legislature to allow any minister OF the
gospel, whether ordained or otherwise.
denounced Ia the choicest language.
The least an editor can do, before pro-
ceeding to pronounce judgment upon
any legislative measure. Is to ascertain
the intent aud meaning of the rofosed
law, and not launch out his invectiyes
from the standpoint of his own false
assumptions. Had the writer taken
the trouble to inquire, he would have
come to the conclusion that the con
templatetl change is a wise and just one
and much needed in the State of Ne
vada. The article declares that. .',no
uian can be minister without being
ordained. any more tbsn-a man can be
lawyer without his license or permit
from the proper court" / feel 10th
tojoin issue with SO apparently logically
constructeda sentence FACTS. however,
prove the proposition to be utterly un-
true. In the Methodist Episcopal
churches man is not ordained until
he has been several years in the minis
try, and as the law now stands in Ne
vada these uuordained ministers. while
performing the various duties of pas
tors and occupying extensive fields OF
labor, are yet unable to solemlize nur-
riage. There are places in this State
possessing a resident but unordsined
minister. where parties are compelled
by the existing law TO be married by a
Justice of the Peace, or else undertake
u journey of hundreds OF miles to the
NEAREST ordained clergyman. This was
the condition Of affairs IN Wiinemucca
for years Now. it in in order to remedy
this anomalous state of things that the
proposed amendment has been intro
duced, aud not, as the Register erro-
neously maintains, Ito permit every
galoot who blows his horn on religious
subjects" to celebrate the rite OF mar.
mage. The editor must see that the
bill il reasonable and right, and / trnsr
he ID possessed of sufficient caudor to
correct his mistake. TnATA.

BoIL IT Down. is the writer

knows so we'll what he wants to say that

quotable journalist these days. People
cannot wait, with the patience they used
to have, to get at the pith of things.
The railroad has educated them ont of
patience with slowness. The telegraph
has completed that education, and at
the same time incapacitated them for
the endurance of words. When we have
to pay fixed price-so many cents-for
every word we employ to express our
meaning, we are apt to learn to husk
the sentence down to the kernel, and to
value the art of expressing thought
with the huske off. We want the naked
idea. Words are nothing. Language
would be abolished if there were any
thing briefer to take its place. But,
since it cannot be abolished, boil it
down.-Xenia Neps.
