A conjurer recently ordered an En-
glish tailor to make him dress coat,
but when 1t was sent home 1t did not
suit him. The tailor offered to make
any alterations that might be suggested,
but could not obtain the coat, and final.
ly was forced to sue the oonjurer. The
defense urged that the cloth had been
furnished by the conjurer and spoiled
by the tailor; that the coat would not
meet in front, and that 1t was beyond
he power Of any mortal tailor to
effect this frontal union; and that
in order 30 perform his professional du-
ties as a conjurer it was necessary that
his coat should button in front. The
cOnjurer put on the coat in court, aud
10! 1T did not button in front. The tailor,
in rebuttal, maintained that a dress
coat for evening wear should not button
10 front. "Nonsensep cried the Judge.
81 Judgment for the defendant. The tailor
shall have his coat and the conjurer his
billsof damages on the Materials" Su
the tailor, who sued for SO, had to pay
tue conjurer $10-a very neat trick tor
Justice 10 play.

WE WONDER how Judge Girls
void. the Mineral Hill member OF
the Assembly from Elko, who is
now opposing the cediug of the
Pine Valley strip OF territory to
Eureka. will explain the fact that
two years ago. when he was a
private citizen. bis name headed q
petition from Mineral Hill praying
for the disputed tract to be trans.
ferred to this county, Eureka
Sentinel.
Judge Griswold signed the peti.
tition as an Independent man, no
doubt, according to his conviction.
As a member of the Assembly be is
no longer independent in regard to
propositions upon which his con.
stituents have long ago made up
their minds. A member of legis.
lature is more bound to follow the
dictates Of his constituents than the
commands Of bis own opinions,
when the will of the constituents is
fully known. We presume that is
the position of Judge Griswold.

The Piute Farmer.

Matches, the Piute Chief, was in
town Monday and he is the hap
piest man in the state. The Rail-
road company have given him a
quarter section OF good land on the
Big Meadows, and the Indien Agent
has furnished him with plows, and
other farming implements. harness,
etc. He says he has fifty acres
cleared and ready for crop in the
spring, and the Indian Agent at
Pyramid Lake Reservation promises
to supply him with seeds, and that
he is going to farming on an ex-
tensive scale II is creditable to
the Indian Agent to thus encourage

Am7re careful examination into
the foaaciAl status of the Temporal
rily embarrassed firm, SAYS the Stock
Report. shows a still more favorable
exhibit than that first made. The
liabilities do not exceed s million,
while the assets cannot be estimated
below s.. 500, 900. The committee Of
creditors, Messrs. Greenebaum, Gla-
zier, and Coleman, have received all
the stock OF the firm, including some
10000 shares Of Justice, 10000 of
Bullion and large quantities of Ex-
cheaner, and all holding stocks as
collateral from Messrs. Schultz and
Won Bargen have turned them over
TO this committee. Under this sys
TEN it is scarcely possible but that
this portion Of the assets will increase
10 value. Ga the whole II is now
universally admitted that the embar-
rassment OF Messrs. Schultz and Vol
Bargen was far from being the seri-
ous collapse which was at first APP
pretended by the tirlorous holders
of their stock.

a view of utilizing the product Of his
mine in the double capacity of an
illuminator, and subsequently to dis
pose of the coke to the furnaces for
fuel. II is good scheme if it will
work.
