WE SOMETIMES each ourselves
wondering how many of the young
ladies whom we meet with are to
perform the part of housekeeper,
when the young men, who now eye
them so admiringly, have persuaded
them to become their wives. We
listen to these young ladies of whom
we speak, and hear them not only
acknowledging, but Boosting of their
ignorance of all homework duties;
as if nothing would so lower them
in the esteem of their friends as the
confession of am ability to bake pies
and bread, or cook piece Of meat,
or a disposition to engage in useful
employment. Speaking from our
own recOllectiOns, we are free to say
that taper fingers and liliy-white
hands are very pretty to look at with
a young mans eyes, and sometimes
we have known artless innocence OF
practical knowledge displayed by a
young miss, to appear rather inter-
esting than otherwise. But we have
lived long enough to learn that life
is full Of rugged experience, and that
most of the loving, romantic and
delicate people must live on cooked,
or otherwise prepared food, and in
houses kept clean and tidy by indus
trious hands. And, for all the prac-
teal purposes of married life, it is
generally found that, for the hus-
band to sit and gaze at a wife's taper
fingers and lilly hands, or for a wife
to sit and be looked at and admired,
does not make the pot boil, or put
the smallest piece of food in the pot.

fIASTY LEGISLATION.

Our State has the reputation OF
being peculiarly fortunate in hav-
ing so few laws upon It's Statute
Book that are dead letters. This is
owing to careful and mature legis-
lation. In the present Legislature
we are sorry to note a disposition
to rush through bills loosely
drawn and lacking careful revision
before final passage, the most
prominent Of which has been the
bill entitled An Act to prevent
Quackery." We fail to see wherein
it will prevent quackery. A diplo-
ma cannot give ability or brains, as
many of the most arrant and ig-
norant quacks have diplomas. If
the Legislature had passed an Act
forming a Board of Medical Exam
liners, and require all persons who
practice medicine in this State to
be examined as to their qualifica-
tions, and if found capable and
learned in the medical science,
then to give such persons a license
to practice. Such a law as this
would be just and equitable; and
then we would have physicians
whom we knew to be qualified.
There is still another very objec-
tionable feature in the law. 1t ex
cepts from the operation of the
law all physicians who have prac-
tised medicine in this State for the
period of ten years, without a
diploma. We presume that if
physician has practiced medicine
ten years, without a diploma, in
any other State, he would be just
as we'll qualified to practice med
lclne as If he had practlced ten
years in this State. We cannot see
any advantage ten years practice
without diploma in this State
can give over ten years practice in
any other State without diploma.
This law is unequal and unjust,
and the next Legislature that con-
venes will have found this out by
experience, and the law will be
repealed, as it has been in every
other State where such a law has
been enacted. Moreover, such law
as the present one has never been
enforced in any State; having al
ways been a dead letter on the
Statute Book.

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES !!

Carson, Feb. "a meeting was
held tonight in the Office of the
State Mineralogist at the Capitol, for
the purpose of discussing IN what
manner Nevada shall be represented
at the Centennial at Philadelphia, in
1876. There were present at the
meeting J. w. Haynes, [. 5. Cen
teunial Commissioner for Nevada;
Whitehill, State Mineralogist; Sena-
tors Stevenson, McClinton and Rob.
inson; Assemblymen Johnson, H..
NJ. Yerington and ]. n. Woodwork.
Proposal was made by Haynes that
the Legislature appropriate $4,000
for the purpose of collecting, cata-
lopueinc all collections of minerals,
and it is thought desirable to erect
a mill, so that the process of crush
ing ore and the value of Nevada ores
might be illustrated. Ore from the
Comstock could be crushed one
day, and ores from other parts of
the States succeeding ones, so that
all Nevada ores might show their
yield of precious metal. After being
some time in conference the meeting
adjourned. to convene again at
future day.
Los Angeles, Feb. 3.-Subscrip-
tions in this city to the Los Angeles
and Independence railroad now
amounts to $4,000. The names of
many wealthy men. who intend to
take stock, do not yet appear on the
books. Everybody seems sanguine
of the success of the enterprise.
Reports from farmers regarding
crop prospects are cheering. Never
were better.
The dining room OF the Hotel des
Princes was burglarized last night,
but though the money-drawer was
broken open nothing OF value was
found. 1t is stated there is an or
ganized band of thieves in this city
who are doing the work.
An attempt was made to throw
the San Fernando train from the
track last night short distance
north of the city. The engineer of
the down train noticed log on the
track. The train was running very
slowly when the locomotive struck
the log and showed it ahead till the
cars, to which brakes had been APP
piled, came to a stand still. The
switch was found wedged open with
rocks, which had been pounded into
it. Weather apparently settled
warm and pleasant.

OUTSIDE REMARKS.

Legislation has some charms,
which only those who have had
Honorable" attached to their names
can know. Even yet, several of the
two previous sessions linger around
the scene of their former forensic
glory. They seemingly take as
much interest in legislation as other
matters, and are quick to detect a
motion made out Of order, or an err
roneous ruling of the Chair.
The weather is beautiful and fair;
too much so to remain in session
long, consequently early adjourn
ments are in order. S.

information that Il storm has
swept Up from the Gulf, unpre-
cedcnted in its fury, filling the
harbor and rolling the waves
high over the fiat, low island on
which the city was built. The
entire city has been inundated,
its harbor improvements swept
away, and thirty persons are
known to have been drowned,
while it is still feared that a
change in the direction Of the
