A DIsAGREEABLE SIGHT.-For the past few
weeks deforme6 boy has been seen sitting in
a carriage on the sidewalk in different parts of
the city. His name is Tierney and there is no
doubt bat what he is an object iof charity, but
it seems rather out of place to see such sights
displayed on the public streets. He is not only
deformed in a terrible manner, but he is COW
cred with filth and presents a horrible sight,
especially when he attempts to move about in
his carriage. 1t is evident that something
should be done with him.

the fever being the exciting cause. When ma.

heart finds great difficulty in performing its

to the blood's circulation, and thus bring into
use and make necessary the Office of the spleen.

enlargement of the spleen. You will appreciate
the power Of the Pad to correct disturbances of
this organ, when say to you it will begin to
remove the enlargement as soon as applied,
An ague cake under the Pad is like the ice cake

any in fact who lead what should call an in
doors life, from the continual breathing of air
necessarily more or less impure and often over

weaknesses and diseases to which those who
lead a more exposed, open air life are much

General Land Office Decision,

The following circular from the
General Land Office was recently
sent to Registers and Receivers in
this State:
Many applications for the amend
ment of presumption declaratory
statements, in description of tracts,
are filed in this office by the parties
in interest, or their attorneys, with
OUT report from the local officers.
Section 2261 Of the Revised Stat
utes of the United States prohibits
more than one filing under the pre-
emption law. The rules and regu-
lations of the Department provide,
however, that when a person, by
error or mistake, files his declara-
tory statement for the wrong tract,
or alleges wrong date of settle
ment, he may be allowed, upon
proper proof of those facts, to
amend the same.
Such amendments are in the ua-
ture Of second filings, and the fol-
lowing rules are established regard
ing applications for that purpose:
The application must he support
ed by the affidavit of the applicant.
corroborated by tic affidavits of two
or more disinterested parties cog
n zant of the facts in the case, and
must set forth fully the nature of
the error or mistake, and if the
error be in the description OF the
land the affidavits must state speci
fically the subdivisions upon which
the improvements are located.
BY law, the Register and Receiver
are made the first judges of the
snfficiency of the pre-emptor's
proof. Such application must,
therefore, be filed with said officers,
who viii forward them to this office
with their joint opinion and report
as to the status of the land. Re-
spectfully, J. A. WILLIAMSON,
Commissioner.

day last Queens California Menage-
rie and Circus commenced its third
anil last weeks season in this city,
and as usual, the tents were crowd
ed in the evening, while there was
large attendance in the afternoon.
Since the opening performance on
the Cd instant, the attendance has
been of the most fattering nature;
the audience not only being very
lerge but enthusiastic as we'll. Mr..
Queen has certainly succeeded in
getting together magnificent
equestrian company, largely com
posed of the strongest stars in the
profession. Among the most prom
inent we will notice Mile Tnrnour,
a young. symmetrical, and handsome
young lady, who as balancing
trapeze artist has, in our opinion,
no living equal in her line of bust
ness. She executes the most start
ling. and thrilling feats upon a
swinging trapeze that has ever been
witnessed in this or any other city.

ing equestrienne. fairly thrills the
audience with enthusiasm bv her
wonderful riding. Woods Cooke is
also an accomplished sommersault

without doubt the most graceful.

Cooke and Sam Rinehart are able
and funny assistants. Both the

the double somersault throwing
over a number of camels and ele-
plants being particularly exciting.
Mr.. Queen has largely invested in
rare anii,imals this season. making
his geological collection about as
complete as possible. The two
horned rhinoceros and horned
horse are noble specimens, and can
be seen at each exhibition. The
street procession is gorgeous in the
extreme, and is conceded by all
who have seen it to be the finest
spectacle yet seen on our strets."

Coop PERFORMANCE. Sheridan
and Mack gave performance at
Miners Union Hall on Wednesday
evening. The sparse audience en-
ioyed hearty laugh for full three
hours. They performed in Dayton
last evening to a good house. We
regret that the attendance in Silver
City was not sufficient to induce
them to give another performance.
but the limited announcement of
their coming and who they were,
accounts for the slim audience. If
they do conclude to give another
performance here we hope to see II
larger attendance.

What the Brokers Can Do.

The great fall in stock values the
past winter caused many persons,
both here and in San Francisco, to
cast about for causes that produced
the decline and measures of reform
most likely to restore mining to its
former prosperity, and much has
been said and written on these sub
jects. Various plans have been ad-
vanced for the reduction of the ex-
penses of mine management, and
some OF the,n arc seemingly we'll
adapted to advance the interests of
stockholders as well as inside mana
gers. At this time directors and
superintendent have before them a
circular issued by committee APP
pointed at meeting held in San
Francisco some time ago, PROFOUND
ing queries as to what reductions
would be practicable in the work,
ing and management OF mines. and
we believe that an earnest endeavor
will be made by all honest mana
gers to bring into practice every re-
form that is compatible with an
efficient prosecution of develop.
! ment.
The San Francisco brokers can do
quite as mush as mine managers to
restore confidence to the people and
enhance stocks, and we think there
is perhaps even more need of reform
in the stock boards than in man
! agement. 1t cannot be denied that
members Of the boards have aided
and abetted the many wildcat
swindl IS that have been put upon
the public, and if the decline has
brought disaster to these dishonest
brokers, only just retribution has
overtaken them. The writer could
name brokers who advised lady
customers to take Lady Bryan at
$40 or Sl8 in preference to anything
on the list, and imposed the worth
less stock upon laboring females who
trusted all to them. Every one at
oil familiar with California street is
well aware that this is not an iso-
lated or exceptional case. The
boards must put q stop to these dis
honest practices if they wish to re-
gam the confidence and patronage
of the public.
