THE FIRST NEVADA ARTILLERY
l." After the smoke and heat of battle, "
we are glad to know that this main
military arm of our State militia is
neither paralyzed nor unjointed.
Twice have they been routed "under
heavy fire" in Virginia, but they
still stand by their guns, and have
sent us the result of the recent annual
election for officers. If there is one
fact that pleases us more than that of
hearing of their pluck as company,
it is in the excellent good sense the
rank and file of the company have
shown in the reelection to control
them of the men who were mainly
instrumental in organizing this arm
of the service-F. G. Lord, Captain !;
j. Libby, First Lieutenant; and How
ard Hill, Second Lieutenant. They
are each well qualified to drill the
company. Notwithstanding the two
fires which have successfully burned
them out of quarters, and that they
have generously given up their hall
to the "Territorial Enterprise as a
printing house. the First Neva Ia Ar
tillery are in a furnishing condition,
and, more too, are one of the best
drilled companies on the coast. In
this connection, when "gallant l'ttle
Phil. Sheridan" visited Virginia, he
took occasion to express his satisfac-
ton and surprise that Nevada should
have so well-drilled and soldierly-
looking a company, and "Phil." is
pretty good judge. We are glad to
know that the boys saved their "suit
of blue" and, as it is tried and true
color, we hope they may never see fit
TO doff it for anything considered
more ornamental. We hope, and
that sincerely, that the boom Of their
cannon may never wake the echoes
Of Mount Davidson, save in peaceful
patriotism; that the foes at whom
and for whom every stumbling,
grumbling ana roar" is heard, may
be only those of fancy and the re-
membranes of 70; but, should ever
occasion require that the First Ne
vada" sec fit to put cold iron in to
hold down the wads--well, they will
do their duty, and that efficiently.

WILLING TO BE WHIPPED.-As q
general thing the TINES gives little
notice to the gentry whose chief
ambition seems to be to pummel or
get pummeled by some one for
money, but we may be excused for
noticing the fact that Bill Davis, of
Virginia City, somewhat worn out
pugilist, has accepted the challenge
to fight the world renowned English
champion Jem Mace, and has sent
his proposition in to the New York
"Clipper" for the consideration of
that pugilistic worthy. The best
that can be said of Davis is that he
is second rate fighter with local
reputation. AID his proposition to
stand up before Jem Mace must be
looked upon in the light of a desire
for mere local notoriety, as he can
not even hope to make decent
fig Lit with the scienced and plucky
boss of the English prize ring. If
Davis does really have an idea that
he could beat Mace, We have only
one thing to say-we admire his
pluck but can't say much for his
Judgment. The challenge is most
likely sent to Mace for the purpose
of getting him out here to draw a
crowd, and Davis expects to make
up for the bruises by an increase of
his capital in dollars through pat
ronage. Jem Mace will not fight
him, as long as such men as Tom
Allen is laying for him.

"LIKE THE ARABs."-It will be

LIKE THE ARABs."-It will be
remembered that the TIMES, few
days since, devoted sentence or so
to gentleman styling himself "Dr.
Miller The article was called out
by the attack of that obscure quack
upon the professional reputation of
DR.. P. T. Kirby in his attendance
upon a miner named Carson. The
statement, as we published it, con-
formed almost precisely with the
evidence adduced by the Coroner's
jury, and the publication of the facts
proved so conclusively conspiracy,
for gain, upon the part of the false
disciple of Esculapius, that that in
dividual suddenly folded his tent like
the Arabs, and silently stole away
about the hour Of night in which
graveyards are supposed to yawn.
1t now appears that this sudden
flight was hastened by a threatened
prosecution under the Nevada
Quackery law" and that the learned
magic healer not only saved the REM
nant of his reputation, but his
bacon" by pointing his coat-tails
toward the courtroom of Gold Hill
between the setting and rising Of the
sun. For the benefit of Miller's
Wabash" acquaintance, we give
the result of the investigation of his
authority to practice medicine, as
elucidated before the Coroner and
eleven Witnessing physicians. Miller
was asked if he had diploma. He
said: II had one, but in having it
sent to me here, the mice got into
the package and ate it up Phys
icians wondered if it killed the mice.

nextquestion. Sat Jefferson College,
Phil--well, no; l didn't graduate
there, but at keokuk, Iowa." was the
reply. "What year was this2" asked
his interlocutor. ain 1914" said
the Doctor. This direct falsehood
put an end to the questions, as all
knew there was no medical college in
Keokuk until in 1862, and that Miller
had perjured himself in answering
the question. He was permitted to
go, and took advantage of that per-
mission, and lit out" for other
scenes more congenial to man of
his extraordinary talents. We hope for
the good of humanity that his halt
will not occur until he is again quietly
settled on the Wabash-his native
heath. Never in our recollection has
IA more grievous otfense been COM
mitted in the medical profession, and
If Miller has escaped punishment, it
is not because he did not deserve it.
