REDTVIVUS.
Ehe Ease of Mrs. 9s yFa Clarke Gaines 10
Come up Again. hirty Years
of Litigation.

There is fair prospect Of the inter-
minabIe Myra Clarke Gaines case being
again brought prominently before the
pubIic. The New Orleans Times very
appropriately styles the case "Jarndyce
uCTsltS Jarndyce, - though We would sUg-
gest that it is not altogether probable
that Mrs. Gaines will be reduced TO tbe
condition of miss Fite.n The Times
remarks that for mere than third of a
century the reading public has been
kept familiar with this case, and that
more than five hundrei iaWyeTs-"pCs-
sibly thOus9nd''-b6ve been connected
with it. 1t was thought that the de-
cision of Judge Wharton COllens, len
dered three years ago in the second dis
trict court of New Orleans, would put 8
quietus upon Mrs. Gaines's claims. This
case was to annul the probate OF the will
of Daniel Clarke of 1918. The finding
aud decree being adverse 10
Mrs. Gaines, her counsel under
took to remove the case to the
United States circuit court, but the
application was refused upon the ground
that the United States had no jurisdlc-
ton to try the question to annui the
the probate of will. The point was re-
gardeu as startling if not novel;
and had it been msintsined litigation
in the case would have been brought TO
a summary end. 1t was next taken to
the supreme court of Louisiana, where
the rulings OF Judge ColIens and the
judgment annulling the probate Of
Clsrke's will were affirmed. We learn,
however. from the Times that Messrs.
Fellows & Mills, of New Orleans, coun-
sci for Mrs, Gaines, recently applied to
Justice Brandley for writ Of error IN
favor of their client, on the ground OF
, the erroneous ruling of Judge COllens,
which was granted. The Times adds:
promptly adverse counsel moved the
dismissal of the writ CT error on the
ground of the want OF Jurisdiction, and
on Monday last that motion was passed
upon in the supreme court of the United
| States, and Overruled. In this decision
the Federal supreme court maintains It's
! jurisdiction in this case, and the result
promises to be that the Gaines case will
continue to enliven the court records nf
the country for half a century to come.

THE BIG MEADOWS.

From Il. b. Maxson, Deputy United
States Surveyor. who has recently been
engaged in surveying land, and wa
ter ditch for the Big Meadows Canal
and lrrigating Company, we learn the
following relative to land on the Lower
Humboldt:
Last spring the Canal COMPANY
commenced operations by putting a
dam in the Humboldt, and building
short piece of ditch. Mr.. Craig, one
OF the company, by way of experiment,
sowed several acres OF wheat. oats
and barley, and different kinds of
vegetables. The grain was among the
finest raised in the State, and the vece-
tables are doing we'll. and will pro-
duce good crops. There is an exten.
slve tract of land along the proposed
canal, about seventy sections of which
have been surveyed. The land be-
longs to the Government and the rail-
road company, and can be had of the
former at the rate of two dollars and
fifty cents III currency per acre. The
lrrigating Company have surveyed q
ditch eighteen miles long through this
land. The ditch will be capable of car
ryine 5000 inches of water, and i.
now being enlarged to that capacity
from the head, where it intersects the
river, to slough some distance below.
1t is estimated that so inches of water
is sufficient to irrigate 100 acres of grain.
At the season when water is required
for irrigation the Humboldt is at its
highest stage, and no difficulty will be
experienced from scarcity of that srti-
Gle.
Here then is room for large agri-
cultural community, which may be in
creased to the full capacity of the Hum
boldt river for irrigating in the months
OF May, June, July and August, as
there are at least rs 900 acrecs of land
susceptible of cultivation. The rail.
road runs right through the tract, and
Virginia City will afford a market for
all the grain that may be raised for
years. as it is much nearer the Big
Meadows than the valleys of California.
The time is not far distant when this
land will be cultivated, and the sage
brush above the Sink will give place to
fields of waving grain.

CHANGING THE TKAcK.-The Railroad
Company are changing the main track
at Palisade. They are moving the
hotel and Wells, Fargo & Co. s office
at that place about a hundred feet
back and laying the track on the ground
where they were situated. The change
was made necessary by the large guam
titles of freight for Eureka and the
camps south of that place. which
accumulate at Palisade while being
transferred to the Narrow Gauge.

Walter Case, who arrived here yester-

Three men, who it is alleged were i'm
plicated in the shooting, were arrested
and taken to Elko. The names of the
parties we have been unable to ascer-
tain.

well provided with explosives and sub
stantials; but all them being strictly
temperate. no liquids were visible.
They took several half dollars, which
are Of much greater consequence to
them than shot and guns, as they will
enable them, should they meet any In
dams, TO feast on ducks and prairie
chickens while off on the hunt. 1t re-
quires skill to bring down game with
n shotgun; but any of the crowd are
competent to exchange half dollars
for ducks and chickens with the piutes.

BED-BUG ExTERMINAroR.- The Sill
Yer City Avalanche says it has good
authority for saying that the boughs
and leaves of the common juniper
tree. constitute a thorough remedy for
that vile pest-the bed-bug. The plan
is, To hung the branches on the walls
of rooms, and to place small tick
filled with them under the mattress. -
The juniper tree is generally known in
these paris as cedar, and the mischief
of it is that many people believe bed
bugs are brought to their houses in the
bark of the wood of this tree. III both
theories are correct, the branches of O
tree generally supposed to be the home
of the bed-bug, will, if scattered in
rooms exterminate them. There is
evidently difference of opinion on
this point, and one of tie theories must
tall to the ground.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE INITIAL PoINT. The corps of
civil engineers who arrived here few
days ago TO begin the preliminary sur
vey of the Winnemucca and Oregon
Railroad, commenced operations yes.
terday. The initial point is at the rail
road track, little west of Kemler's
Touring mills; whence they proceeded
10 the river near the bridge. We un-
derstand that they intend to proceed
south of Winnemucca Mountain beyond
which there is a pass in northerly
direction through the range. Mr..
Maxson, who il familiar with the
topography of the country northwest
from here, informs us that there are
Two available routes in that direction
one by way OF Blackrock through a
desert region; the other by Kings River
Valley, where there are thousands of
acres of rich agricultural lands.

This transaction being finished, the girl
becomes the warriors wife, whether shs
has said "yes" or emo" There is one
thing certain, however, that while slio
remains with him she obeys him Tho
squaw may leave her husband, or rather
she may be deserted by him, and then
going back to her family she is ready t0
be fought again. There seems no spe-
cial regard between the "buck and
the squaw. In view of this fact, the In
dian, strangely enough, evinces strong
affection for his children. Where there
is no love between man and wife, you
would suppose this could not exist. IL
is nevertheless fact that the children
are dearer TO an Indian than his horses.
OF course the squaws grow old fast, and
soon become ugly hags. At this stage
they are treated as an incumbrance. Old
men, as well as women, have been left
frequently on the prairie to die. A small
store of provisions to sustain life for
few days is given them; this gone, death
by starvation follows. This, am told,
is no longer practiced by the agency In

ACat Show.

Col. Forney writes thus from London
of cat show ut the Crystal Palace At
first numbers of people were attracted
by the novelty of the scene alone, but
though this section OF the visitors 10 the
cat show is still large, many now come
with party of children. The Crystal
Palace itself is familiar to Americans
The center transept, at once beautiful
promenade and delightful resting
place, was crowded yesterday by the
visitors who came to see the cats III cages
down each side. Each cage contained
cushion for pussy, a little saucer filed
with milk, etc, while tine prize cats We're
distinguished by blue flag hung from
the top. Some idea of the enterprise VI
the authorities at the Palace may be-
gathered from the fact that about 1870
prizes were offered for competitor from
f5 to - shillings, while marks of dis
tinction, which are equally coveted, such
as every highly commended, are also
awarded. In certain classes, where there
is a great competition, and only say three
prizes, those cats which are highly com
mended have good chance of carrying
off the first prizes at local shows or ex-
hibitions, where their standing would be
more completely recognized. The best
tabby cat received "a silver cup. For
this prize there was general rivalry
there were thirty-six candidates, and as
they We're all first-class the decision of
the judges was not made until after much
discussion. The prizeman at last APP
peared in Master Shuckard's Tommy
Dodd," aged 9 years. and valued at
e100 $500 the winner of the second
prize was also held at the same amount
while the value attached to others i'm the
same class was never below 60. Miss
Shorthouse's cat, "age unknown, pos
sesses a tabular pedigree for six genera
tions," and is valued by its owner st
100000, but III face of these substantial
arguments Miss SIS favorite was not
am ong the prizes, only receiving high
" "commendation. Other OF the candi-
dates were magnificent creatures, grace
ful in their movements, their furs shin
ing with gloss resembling the richest
velvet. These cats were the best III the
show, and were specially considered by
the judges to be superb class. The
average weight of each was about 16I
pounds. One of the prizes was for the
+" heaviest cat in the show" and this was
won by specimen weighing a few
ounces over Is pounds. The gentleman
was so overcome with Joy at the honor
he had won that he gave himself up TO
amusement the whole day, glad to en-
gage in a game with the first youngster
that came along. Few ont of the 800
pussies showed bad tempers the excep-
tions were among the black cats, which,
for the most part, seemed discontented
Very different was the conduct of the
long haired Angora species, with their
splendid coats white as snow, their pink
eyes, and fiery appearance, forming one
of the most interesting features. The
crowds of children who almost, in these
days, live at the Palace, make their
choice without regard to the decision Oi
the judges, and their favorites are at
once exalted among themselves.

Fast Mail Trains-.- Statistics as 10 Their
Operations.

The following statistics as to the OPP
erations of the fast mail train in the
West have been obtained from the Posi-
Office Department The mails from the
East and Southeast into Chicago weigh
daily an average of 32, ,202 pounds. The
mails from the Northeast, East and
South, into st. Louis weigh daily an aS-
erage of 10, 293 pounds. The mails from
st. Louis to Chicago weigh daily an av-
erage of 1,21S pounds. This includes
only the st. Louis proper and Arkansas
mails. The mails from Chicago to St
Louis daily average of 2,553 pounds
This includes mail from the north OF
Chicago. and from Michigan. The
mails going into Missouri for the coun-
try west and southwest of and including
that State daily average 10, 755 pounds.
This includes mails from all directions.
North. South, and East. Mails from
Cleveland for the South and West have a
daily average of 3, 100 pounds.
From these figures il will be seen that
the amount of mail matter distributed tG
the sections Immediately tributary to
Chicago is seven times as large as the
amount received and distributed from
st. Louis.
