GAMBLING IN NEVADA.

The passion for gambling in Nevada has
not yet yielded to the influences of an ad.
vancing civilization, judging from the re-
ports which come from that quarter. The
Virginia City Chronicle makes no attempt
at: conccalment in the matter, and main.
tains that what Monaco is and Baden was
to Europe, Virginia City is to the United
States. This is hardly matter for self
congratulation, but the State Treasury
profits by it 70 such an extent that the au.
thorities feel justified in winking at the
matter, and the people do not feel disposee
to object, in view of the fact that thed
taxes are Gghtened by recognizing King
Faro. The Chronicle, in q half apologetic
way. thus speaks of the benefits that accrue
from the housing Of the tiger in the State.
ut is true that counts and mobiles and la
dies have ceased to make pious pilgrimages
to our tables, where the croupier rakes in
their pious offerings; in fact, they neve,
did pilgrimize much lin this section Of tht
country; but stillwe bear resemblance t.
Monaco and Baden in the fact that tht
State licenses the tables, and derives {
goodly revenue therefrom each year Of it
existence. Some may cry shame upon sucl
policy, but, whatever may be the opinions
pro and con, it is certain that about thirty
FIVE thousand gold dollars 60 rolling, edg,
up, into the State Treasury per annun
from this source. In this city alone ther,
are sixteen faro banks, and in Gold Hill
four. Each one of these pays a license O
s27o quarter, or l,Oso year, making
total revenue from this district alone o
s2lOOO."

The Acts Of Last Session.

The fifteenth volume of the Statutes
at Large, being the acts of the last ses-
sion, begins with No. 6s7, which is an
from county commissioners, which pro-
yides that the acknowledgement Of the
State may in certain cases opprove such
bonds. '-
We will here note an objection to the
method pursued by the general assem-
bly, in amending the code and statutes.
Instead of quoting the section or para
graph to be changed, and then giving 1t
as amended, so that the full scope of the
change may be understood by the read
er without further reference, the prac-
tice is to say: "The section is hereby
amended by inserting between the
words - and the - the following:
amendment is unintelligible, without
original act, which; again, may have
been amended half dozen times in the
same way. When an act Is amended
vitaly it should be reprinted and repass-
/ ed In its new form. ..
No. 657 is All act to provide for the
specific appropriation of funds derived

portant act to county commissioners.
We have no doubt that many Of them
are acting without regard to it, and thus
incurring danger of the severe penalty.
1t sets apart all funds from liquor licen-
ses to the support of the paupers and
poor farms Of each county, unless the
sum SO received is greater than is need
ed for that purpose, when the excess
can be used as heretofore. Any viola
ton of the act is punished by fine or
imprisonment. .. -.
No, 668 provides that circus exhibit
ing in any county of this state shall pay
a license of 500 per day to the clerk Of
the court of said county.
No. 6S3 regulates the practice of dem
tistry in this state. .-.s-
No. 800 facilitates and saves expense
in appeals to the supreme court by al
lowing the attorneys for the appellant
and respondent to agree upon q state
ment, which shall be q sufficient brief
without other papers from the circuit
courts.
No. 692 provides that trial justices
shall exhibit all the original papers
when presenting a bill of cost, and
itemiZe the said costs. Unless such. an
exhibit is made, the county commits
sioners are forbidden to pay.
No. 693 provides for the publication
of monthly statements of receipts and
disbursements by the State Treasurer
Union Herald.

Some of the farmers of the northeast

BRIGHAM YoUNGs IMPRISONMENT.

The recent Imprisonment Of Brigham
Young for refusing to pay the $4,000 at.
torney's fees to Ann ELIAS lawyers within
the designated time, terribly exasperated
his faithful followers. The Salt Lake
Herald, the Mormon organ, describing the
scenes attending the performance, says
that the court room was crowded with
spectators, and soon after court opened the
rush became so great as to necessitate the
locking of the doors. Many who were un-
able to gain admission stood around the
doors and windows, peering through the
chinks and crevices, and catching word
now and then Of the attorneys argument.
Judge Mexican having refused to allow him
to retire during the arguments-as he re-
auested, on account Of i'll health-President
Young sat in court until he was escorted
out by Deputy United States Marshal
Smith at one o'clock. The defendant mani
tested not the slightest uneasiness or ex-
citement during the proceedings and
when he was adjudged guilty Of contempt
Of Court and sentenced to fine and impris-
onment he was mot disconnected in the
least. Probably he had anticipated what
was coming and was prepared for It. On
his way to prison Brigham stopped at his
residence, ate his dinner, procured such
clothing, bedding, &C., as he required for
a night in Jail, and in the midst Of severe
snow storm was then taken to the Peniten.
tiary. Arrived at the Penitentiary Brig,
ham was locked in the only cell at the in
stitution with q dozen or more convicted
criminals and men awaiting trial. How
ever, he was held in that place only a
short time, when he was furnished room
attached to the Warden's quarters, where
he spent the night. Many of his friends
drove out to the institution, and consid.
erable number remained in the vicinity
all night. His prison quarters were com.
Portable, as such things 60, and he was
treated with such courtesies as the Cir
cumstauces Of the case would permit.

tic Window Shade, which for drra-
bility, cheapncss, convenience and
beauty, cannot be surpassed. Each
shade is furnished with all the fxt-
ures complete, and only requires two
lath nails or small screws to fasten it
up with. Should they become soiled
by flies, they can be spread on q table,
washed and made as bright as new,
and will last for years. This style Of
shade is much superior to cloth
shades. In warm weather, when the
window is raised, the shade admits
the air but prevents flies and mosqui-
toes entering the room. The simplic-
ity of their fixtures is much in their
favor, as they require no rollers, each
shade being complete, and any one
can drive two nails by which to hang
them. They are low in price, dura.
bic, convenient. and never get out OF
order. Call at store and sec samples.

FINDING THE MERIDIAN.-M. George W
Blunt, Of New York, who knows as much
about nautical matters as any gentleman
we know, gives the following simple mode
for running meridian line:
Take piece Of board, or any similar
material, and deacribe on it number Of
concentric circles. Place this in the sun
over the center hang plummet Observe
the shortest shadow from the plummet
the sun will then bo on the meridian
draw a line to the centre of tho circle, and
that will be the true meridian line. This
will do to mark the apparent time or te
correct the compass for variation.
