SENATOR SARGENT AND HIS OPEN
LETTER.

In the San Francisco Bulletin of Saturday
is letter from Senator Sargent to the public.
1t is addressed to the question between him
self and the accusations flung at him by the
Chronicle, over Pinneys shoulder, The tone
of it is that of a man who, waiting for the
lull of breathless silence, speaks calm
word to the police while he is being
pelted by a mob. There is too much
liking for a scrimmage in the aver
age American not to enjoy this mud
throwing. We doubt if his clearest phlloso-
ply and most repressive patience will avail
against the pens which Safeguarding
him. The only vigorous inspiration the
Chronicle ever had was Pixley. He seems to
have left enough of his virus there to make 1t
show its pustules of defamation but he Tugs
his unmanly spites into his handsome weekly
and makes, by the unlovely incidents of a
nasty contrast, Wash domestic utility and
Jack Stratman and Jim McCue exemplary
members of society 1t is hard to stem this
phosphorescent torrent of cowardice and mas
tiness, but there are honest minds which will
svmpathize with the Senator.

ANNIVERSARY One year ago tonight the
famous Jarrett & Palmer lightning train
passed through Reno, and wasn't long about
it either They made the trip from New York
to San Francisco in 81 hours and ID minutes.
Since that time there has been much said in
regard to what could be done in the way of
fast travelling, but nothing has yet been &C
complished that can excel or equal the time
made by this train. 1t was quarter after II
when she passed here, but notwithstanding
the lateness of the hour, most of our inhabi-
tants were up to see it. Sam Jenkins, who
runs engine 49, on the c. P. lightning train,
steered thei fast engine from Wadsworth to
Truckee, and passed Reno at the rate of so
miles an hour. He informs us that the loco

SOMETHING ABOUT THEODORE TIL
TON

In the San Francisco Post of last Saturday
evening there is very interesting sketch OF
Theodore Tilton, his mind, manners, history
and personelle We are so very far removed
from the scene of his achievements, 50 little
acquainted with what he has done that is
creditable, and so well acquainted with the
history of his misfortunes and his weaknesses,
that we are inclined to mderrate him and
meanly criticise when, to be more Just, We
should protfer our admiration. We quote
the following interesting facts

Concerning lake in Eastern Nevada, the
Ward Reflex deposes as follows
1t has been noticed by many persons who
have had occasion to visit Canadian Lake,
about nine miles west of Ward in Steptoe
valley, that there is something peculiar about
it. The lake is about one mile long by about
three-quarters of mile wide. AS far as
known the water is not very deep, but the
peculiararity about it is that to all appear
ances its waters rise and fall by the forces
brought to bear by the sun and moon, and it
has been pronounced by some to be regular
tide, Let one pass along the west shore of
this lake in the morning and then return in
the afternoon and it will be found that the
track of his vehicle made in the morning has
been covered by water a foot or more 1t is
proposed to build a boat to be placed upon
this lake at an early day and then moonlight
or even daylight excursions can be INDUCED
IN The boat is to be at least fifteen feet in
length, and four feet bredth of beam The
idea has been suggested that the Great
Eastern be purchased or chartered for service
on this lake, but up to the present time are
unable to say what will be done in the matter.
Provided she could turn around in this lake
of ours it would be a paying investment to
purchase the aforesaid vessel seeing that she
has been locked, gone out of use or other
wise done for.

An obituary which is slightly divergent in
tone from the common run of such literary
ventures is offered up by the Ward Reflex as
follows:
Our recollection of Hirsch is that he was
blind of an eye, and possessed all the attri-
butes of destroying angel peculiar to ''Zion's
Kingdom. Though not very attractive, he
was a man of his word when placed upon his
honor. His honor, however, always took ref
uge in some part of his anatomy and lay dor
mant when he became ''riled up" Unlike
the general run of angels he carried a vii
famous looking knife, and that was the in
strument he used in his successful endeavors
to give man a free pass to the other world,
in Phoebe about the year 1870 but we are not
so sure that it was the first who died with his
boots on in Phoebe. His victims name we
cannot now recall, but Hirsch will ever be
remembered by us.
