A RIDDLE AND ITS SOLUTION.
The Carson APpsal has essayed the
exercise Of q famous attribute OF Yankee
.iom to wit guessing; and tries its hand
the attitude Of the Eureka Sentiaef.
TO the State Prison imbroslio.
A il well known. the talented and genial
Cassidy, senior editor Of the Ssniiaoi and
late senator from Eureka county. has
been for years a stern and uncompromis-
ing opponent Of our pastoral State Ex-
ecutivs, and has even gone 10 the ex-
tent Of ~ridiculing tho intellectual At

But Be this as il may. Brother Cassidy
has for . long time past been a bitter
political enemy Of the Governor. and
was 40 mp TO or at the close OF the last
session Of our Legislature. To sec him

surprising. because unexpected. We
acknowledge to having held q whole
