THERE was not member of the legis-
later last winter, who stood higher in
r. D. Smart and there were but few,
if any, who had more influence in the
Assembly than he. He was an acknowl-
edged leader, and respected by all. Ii
would be wrong to remove him from a
position where he can do SO much good
for the people of this District.

THE RANK OF CALIFORNIA ALL
RIGHT.

The rumor got wings in San Francisco
that the Bank of California had been
hurt in stock operations. The statement
is baseless fiction which probably had
its origin IN the brain of some desperate
and Inscriptions stock gambler. In
order to head off any evil effects that this
false report might have in Virginia City,
Mr.. Ralston yesterday telegraphed to the
Enterprise denying its truth, and author
izing the statement that neither himself
nor the Bank whose President he is,
have met with any loss or are likely to.
This is the best way to treat these
things. If this rumor had been suffered
to pass unchallenged, it might have
brought on a panic whose results could
have been productive of nothing but evil.

YOUTHFUL FINESS.

When Sixth street boy is playing
''hop-scotch" on the walk. and his
mother comes 10 the door and asks him
to split some wood. he replies that he
will be along in just one minute. At the
end Of ten minutes she opens the door
and SAYS:
'-Wilvum, l want that wood
I'm coming right now" he replies,
and then goes or hopping here and there
on one leg.
Another ten minutes flies away, and
she opens the door and says:
"Wilyum, if you don't get that wood.
you know what your father will do,'
Just ten seconds, lie calls back,
and he enters upon new game.
The ntXt time she calls she says:
" oung man. it is about noon, and l
can't cook dinner without that wood
Il know i'll N coming right now,
he replies, and he stands on one foot
and holds long discussion with the
johnson boy as to whether the game of
"hop-scotch" is as good game as base
ball. He has just started TO hop when a
boy whispers:
Hi, Bill. there's your old dad
"Great snakes" whispers Bill, and
he goes over the fence like fash, grabs
the ak. and during the next two minutes
he strikes two hundred blows per min
ute. He gets into :he house ahead of
his father, and as he drops the wood, he
says:
Mother. the boys were just a saying

coolest mother on Sixth street. and l

IF WE WE'RE to find such a narration
| as the following in any other kind Of a
journal than the Reese River ReceiNe,
we should call for persons and papers
and ask leave to sit again. But in the
Reredle, who could doubt it: The truth
full air of the story reminds US of the
gifted and veracious Clarkson. Says
the Rereills:
A poor little mouse. whose home is
under the floor of the RereMs Office. came
out this morning to forage for his break
fast. Seeing some printing ink which
had been spilled on the floor, lie thought
that would make a very good meal. and
he went for it After nibbling little
while he became frightened at noise
made by those watching him. and start
ed to run back to his hole; but the ink
being of a sticky nature. he found his
feet held fast to the floor and himself
unable to move, whereupon he set up
doleful squeak. In few moments along
came larger mouse, probably his father,
who seemed to take in the situation at a
glance, and at once commenced an at
tempt to release his diminutive relative.
He stepped eingerly over the ink until
he came to the little mouse, and laying
hold of the back of his neck with his
teeth. tugged away till he released it.
The affair. was witnessed by several per-
sons who were SO interested in the novel
sight that they offered no molestation to
the animals. This is a true fact.

JUDGE PORTER, of counsel for the de-
Tense in the Beecher trial opened the
argument to the jury yesterday. A
synopsis of his speech is given In the dis
patches. He evidently went to his task
charged full of forensic indignation for
and professional contempt of Tilton and
his pimpish friend Moulton. The popular
loathins for Tilton got handsomely ex-
pressed by Mr.. Porter. He portrayed his
pusillanimous character in terms of the
bitterest invective Meantime the brassy
Theodore stood and took it and brnved
it out. The New York Tribune gives the
opening words of this peppery speech as
follows: Men are apt to be bold of
speech when two stalwart champions
like Moulton and Tilton make joint
assault upon a clergyman and woman
the one forbidden by his profession to
return evil for evil; the other weak and
powerless, and held as in the hollow of
his hand by a man who has but to look
upon her to subdue her to his VIII.
This and more of the same sort was
hurled at Tilton, Porter shaking his
clenched fist at him rs he talked and
stirring up very gratifying sensation.
Mutual Mouiton came in fox his share
OF this whitening talk and altogether the
talking to the jury was opened with
very acceptable quality of the capsicum
of invective and the vinegar of denuncia-
ton. Porter expects to talk three days
and then the other side viii take slant
at the True InwardneS OF the Plymouth
Pastor and his gushings and queer for
getfulness. What great privilege it is
to be a juryman in this multifarious and
labyrinthine tortuosity of nastiness. sen

Hrs. Abraham Lincoln AdjuGged
Insane.

Chicago, May 20. Mrs. Lincoln,
wife of the late President, was adjudged
insane by a jury i'll the county court,
and this morning she vas removed to a
private asylum at Batavia, Illinois.
The inquiry was made on the petition
of her son, Robert F. Lincoln. The
evidence of number OF physicians, the
proprietor and several employees of the
Grand Pacific Hotel, where she has
been staying since her return from
Florida, and her son and numerous
friends, all showed she was undoubtedly
insane. Her insanity has been Of a
mild type, but after the trial she became
violent, and was obliged to be placed
under restraint.
