We have never known more tremendous
outbrrst of indignation than the following
with which the Reno journal vents its super
heated feelings:
Night before last some one unworthy the
name or shape of manhood, willfully destroyed
little hobby horse which had been accident
ally left in front of the Postoffice all night
The pieces we're strewn all around the neigh
borhood In addition to this the rascal took
the package of Journals which is usually left
there so that the clerk can distribute them
with the other mail early in the morning,
broke it open, scattered the papers in the
mud and mutilated them considerably. We
would like to be at the end of two-year old
club for a minute and have that skunk within
easy reach.

of the late lamented Mr.. Ash-kum of the
Pottowotamie nation. He was Major-Gen-
eral or something of that kind. He was the
father of Pashgo, and he of Ain-was-su and

purpose of BUSTING Tom Hoyne, John G..

the skin on; moccasins made from deer-skin
and laced with the sinews of the same animal;
hair ornamented with row of silver coins,
tapering from dollar to three-cent piece,
and beautifully larded with the oil of the
bear. Her fine calico dress was cut decOllete
at both ends, and her ears were adorned and
extended by heavy circulets of silver. Thus

Baltimore, like San Francisco. is crying fol-
water. The present supply is bad in quality
and insufficient IN quantity. 4 short allow
ance of bad water is not cheerful subject OF
contemplation. A vast engineering scheme
has been set on foot to remedy the existing
defect Says an Eastern exchange:
The new source is to be Gnpowder river,
nine miles from the city, and the Water is to
be brought through a tunnel seven miles
long, cut through a mountain This will be
the longest tunnel i'll America, circular in
shape, and twelve feet in diameter. Five
miles of the distance is very hard rock, and
the drilling is done by manual labor, power
drills being Impracticable III such a small
space. The rest of the way will be bricked.
Fifteen shafts have been sunk. The cost is
estimated at So 600, 900, about 800 men are
employed, and the tunnel will probably be
completed in three years. The employees are
mainly negroes, who live III miserable log
cabins; and the contractor says his greatest
difficulty is not of an engineering kind, but
comes of drunkenness among these men Liq-
uor dealers infest the temporary villages with
portable bars, and sell vile whiskey cheap
that the laborers buy extensively.
1t is very strange if the Burlegh drills can
not be used in a twelve foot tunnel in Mary
land when they are employed to great advan-
tage in very much smaller drifts in Nevada.
1t will strike the mining fraternity of this
State that an estimated cost of So 900, 900 for
a seven mile tunnel, five miles of which are
through solid rock, is very low. 1t is evident
that the skill and energy of such a class of
miners as we are accustomed to in this State
are greatly needed to construct this Baltimore
tunnel, in good shape and within a reasona-
bile time

The feverish apprehensions of the French

Republicans of France toward the Jesults.

Chamber of Deputies to-day, said that no vote
had placed the Ministry in the minority There
no conflict in Parliament, and, while par
ticularly neutral, the nation suddenly learned
that the President had demanded the resigna-
ton of the Premier. The nation in its anxiety
asked whether there does not exist at the side
of the head of State preponderating influence
with which no Ministry could cope The
Chamber only asked what President Mcmahon
to-day promised, namely, pacific policy and
represslOnO of ltramOntane intrigue. Gambetta

Keeping poultry i'm orchards is mat

BILE. We believe that il farmers and fruit
raisers were aware of the benefits aris-
ing from such management, they would
at once adopt it. Last fall wa visited an
orchard In which fowls were kept the
owner of which told us that before the
fowls were confined i'm it the trees made
little or no grOwth,and only correspon-
ding amount of fruit was obtained. But
what change was evident now. The
grass was kept down, the weeds destroy
ed, and the trees presented an appear
anceiof thrift which the most experienced
bOrticnlturist could not but admire and
envy. The growth of the trees was most
vigorous, and their foliage remarkably
luxuriant. The fruit was abundant. of
large size. and free from worms and other
imperfections. This excellence was ac-
counted for by the proprietor, who re-
marked that the then ate all the worms
and curcnlio i'm there reach, even the

with there rOosting in trees than he ex-

high held them within bounds. His

and the fowls were changed from one to
another, as the condition of the fowls OF
