PYRAMID LAKR.---The Reno Journal
OF Sunday has the following interest.
ing item
While at Pyramid, +. r. Reed took
n voyage around the lake in the
" Pirate, that boat which recently
went down the river from here. The
party went out for the purpose OF
visiting the islands. fishing aud hunt.
ing. He says there are an immense
number Of rattlesnakes on one OF the
islands. One nest OF twenty five was
struck by them, all OF which they
killed. Gulls and geese are there in
large quantities. Eggs lie around in
the sand all over the islands. The
clearness OF the water makes it very
easy to see the fish in the lake, 30
that they know just where to drop
their lines to capture them. Reed
describes the voyage as one OF great
pleasure, and one which will we'll
repay all who may wish q few DAYS
respite from business.

good one
As one Of the V. and T. r. Il.

Their attention was instantly rivited
by group Of Pluto squaws standing

the tourists were looking curiously
at the aborigines, one OF the railroad
engineers came along and began to
chaif the squaw
What yon call this fellow,

Half lngin, half ingineer, was

OF the construction Of . chariot Of
state and what became Of It and its
protector, the New York Herald in
forms us ss follows:
During the Presidential contest q
Washington livery stable keeper
bought = magnificent carriage as
great expense and vowed that no per-
son should ride in il until Tilden vas
insugurated, when il would be pre-
sensed to him. Though the distin.
guisbed reformer Was not elected the
carriage was kept covered and sacred.
The other day when Hampton visited
the capital smile Of Joy illuminated
the face Of the disconsolate stable
owner and he ct once resolved TO
place it ut the disposal OF his Gov.
ernorship, but again the chariot
brought disaster, a. the following
paragraph from the Washington Star
Of Saturday will show: I'm the Pc.
lice Court to-day Alexander Leading.
ham forfeited els collateral for as
sault and battery on Allison Nailor.
Jr. This occurred yesterday, shortly
after IL o'clock. Mr.. Leadingham
has the right Of furnishing hacks
to the guests Of Wizards
Hotel. and Mr.. Nailor, the we'll
known livery stable keeper, at the
hour named sent carriage and pair
OF horses to the hotel, the free use OF
which he rendered to Governor
Hampton, Of South Carolina, who
was stopping there. to take drive
about town. Mr.. Leadingham
resented this as an interference with
his rights, and an alteration sprang
up, which lead to an assault upon
Nailor by Leadingham. Officer
Heinline at this juncture arrived on
the field and put q stop to further
violence. The Governor in the
meantime slipped into carriage in
front Of the hotel and went on his
way"
