A DRUNKEN ROMANCE.

Yesterday afternoon two gay and festive
couDles drove down from Gold Hill in separ-
ate buggies, and to all outward appearances
were bent upon having high old spree. The
awkward style in which the drivers handled
the ribbons, denoted lack of familiarity with
handling buggy teams; however, the whiskey
imbbed by these amateur Jehus, which pro-
duced such beautiful mixture of roseate and
cerulean hues upon their beaming mugs, also
lent them much confidence in their experiences
as drivers During their ramblings through
the city this modest quartette would now and
then draw up in front of saloon and order
drinks for all hands. This continued until
the party became reckless, and race between
the two teams was proposed and accepted.
They let out their horses to their fullest speed
and, when nearing the cemetery, the two We
hices colided and the occupants were landed
in the middle of the road; and, as is usually
the case with drunken people, they were not
injured in the slightest degree. The horses
still attached to the buggies ran short dis
lance, but were soon overtaken. The damage
to the vehicles was trifing, and the dust-cov-
cred and sobered couples drove off, whittier
the story Since the departure of these cou-
pies man, representing himself as an officer
from Storey county, made his appearance in
this city in quest of this bibulous crowd He
says that the men are worthless bunmers,
who have been residents of Storey county but
a short time, and that the girls are sis
tiers, under age, belonging 10 a respectable
family in Virginia The girls, it is said,
formed foolish and ruinous attachment for
these worthless fellows, in spite of the pro-
testations and applications Of their parents.
The climax of all was their elopement from
home on Friday with the vagabonds, who
promised them marriage What surprises the
officer most is how these fellows secured the
teams and the money which they shelled out
50 freely He has warrants for the arrest of
the men and power to bring the erring girls
back to their sorrowing mamma and indignant
and stern paternal. The conclusion of this
romance must be looked for elsewhere.

FOREIGN INCONGRUITIEs.

Since the days of the great Napoleon, the
friendship between Russia and France has
never been perfectly cemented, and the con-
sequence is that whenever the representa-
tives of those nations, irrespective Of the soil
upon which they stand, have any difficulty,
the old national grudge is sure to crop out.
On Friday afternoon painter of Corsican
extraction and rather Frenchy predictions
accused a glazier who halls from the great
Russian empire, of having stated to one of
the formers patrons, that his artistic efforts
did not compare very favorably with the
works of the old masters, and in order to
show his detestation of the Russ, he show
cred upon him several and numerous uncom-
plimentary epithets. The Russ who is
whole-souled sort of genius, took it all
good naturally, until The Corsican made
pass at him, then the ex-subject of the Gar
took Corsica into chancery and gave him a
few taps on the head only to remind him of
his physical inferioriG and nothing more.
The fighters were separated without much
difficulty, and the Russ believing that per-
manent cessation of hostilities had been Or
dered by the outside powers, proceeded to
follow up his peaceful vocation, when Cor
sica came up behind and gave him singer
under the nose. As the foreign powers
would not permit the war to be recommended,
this must end our narrative. Result of &C
tion-wounded, l; killed, 0.

Pot hunters still continue to slaughter
ducks at Boyntons slough on the Truckee
Meadows. Why don't the authorities Of
Washoe county enforce the game laW.-Vir-
gir.ia Chronicle.
A sportsmen's club was formed in this city
last Winter, with the Interior object to en-
force the game and fish laws, enacted by the
last legislature, and to prosecute any person
or persons who are caught in the act of VIC
lating these laws. A standing. reward of $50
has been offered by this club for the appre-
hension and conviction of any offender. No
arrests were found necessary to be made in
this county for the violation of either of the
laws, owing to the watchfulness of our off
GERS and the pride our sportsmen have
in seeing these laws properly respectedl
1t cannot possibly be that the officers of
Washoe county, who are entrusted with the
eXecution.o of the laws, make a distinction be-
tween the fish and game laws and other laws
upon the statute books of the State. Why
does not Washoe county guard Its game with
a more vigilant eye and protect it from exter-
mination at the hands of few bungiing and
unprincipled pothunters2
STOCKS No appreciation IN values. 1t
WAS stated that the stock of the Eureka Con-
soldated Mining Company would advance to
500 per share if they should be successful in
their suit against the Richmond. Judgement
was given in favor of the former company,
and on that day the stock jumped to s48, but
has since deprecated Sill In value Com
stock securities scarcely vary enough in price
from day to day to pay brokers commissions.
Until some good bonafde showing is made
in one or more of the Comstock mines, no
activity need be looked for in the market.
The people are tired of being gulled; they
want no more 'wild cats, nor idle rumors
without foundation. There is much capital
lying idle for stock investments, and when
the Comstockers can show up another bonanza
or two, the idle money will be thrown into
the market and not before.

THE WATER QUESTION IN THE CITY
BOARD.

At the special meeting OF the Board of City
Trustees, Bender, St Clair, Beam and Dun.
ming present, the Kings Canyon water ques
ton again came up. Another petition signed
by numerous taxpayers was presented to the
Board requesting them TO abstain from litiga-
ton and rather to endeayer to effect a com
promise with the rancherS without aid OF the
law. Under instructions from the Board,
Chief of Police Butts interviewed large ma
iority of the Kings Canyon ranchers, and his
report is to the effect that the ranchers will
permit the water to flow through the'city once
every fifteen days during the night, commenc-
inc at o'clock P IL and run for twelve hours.
Mr.. Butts concluded his report by saying that
the sewers would be ready for the reception
of water Monday. Mr. st. Clair stated that
he conversed with Messrs Phillips and
Woods, Kings Canyon ranchers, and that
they said that they are willing to let the city
have all the water necessary for sanitary pur-
poses, but they said that they were only
speaking for themselves. Chief of Police
Butts was instructed to see the ranchers and
make arrangements to have the water run
into the city by Monday evening at o'clock,
The question of litigation for the city ri
parian rights was postponed for discussion
until the next regular meeting
