MP. PARKER'S FISH BILL.

To our representative, Mr.. Parker,
the people "f the State of Nevada are
not little indebted. Feeling a deep
interest in fieldsports and true hun
ter's regard for the preservation OF the
game he seeks by wood and stream,
he has caused two important bills 10
be brought before the Legislature.
q. q 1T ..tase is an amendment to the
.r.iue la: The other is bill introdu-
.ed into he Assembly on Thursday
.,royillle for the preservation and
prni,a alton of fish in the waters OF
thi. safe. This latter bill is very
carefully drawn,-being, as we under
san,, :he result of consultation with
that ardent and efficient pisclcultulist,
Hon. b. L. Redding, of California.
The prevention of the total des truction
If trout in our rivers and lakes, and
he introduction therein of the spawn
and ova of fish that are not native here
is as important step as any that can
he taken, looking to the future. There
is no method of food producing which
is so easily accomplished and whose
results give forth so abundantly as the
stocking Of water with fish. The
"seed" is cheap beyond comparison !;
and once planted, it requires no care
or culture-only the reasonable pro-
lection OF the law. We repeat that MIR.
Parker's fish bill is second in impor-
lance to no measure introduced into
the Legislature during the present
session. Let it be pushed to seedy
paassge and approval.

SAFETY IN PUBLIC BUILDINGS.

AS has been noted somewhat inn
perfectly in our Legislative Reports.
a resolution has passed the Assembly
the text of which is rs follows:
Resolved, That the Committee on
State Institutions be requested to pre-
pare and present to the House bill
compelling the owners, lessees and
prOprietOrS of theaters, muSic-halls,
cOncert-roOms, churches and other
buildings designed for public gather
ings to construct and maintain ade-
quate means and methods for the safe
and speedy egress from such build
idgs of any. and all persons at any
time visiting the same.
The object had in view by the au-
thor of this resolution hardly needs to
be stated. The many and appalling
accidents which have befallen theater-
goers and attendants upon churches,
rendered possible and aggravated by
inadequate means of egress, are only
too familiar to the readers of the AP
PEAL to need recapitulation here. 1t
seems to us that the Legislature will
hardly have accomplished its full
dutv if it fails to ferfect statute which
will meet the emergency of whose ex-
istence it is reminded by this resolu-
ton.

THE DYING GLADIATOR.

OF all the pieces of statuary in Rome,
that of the Dying Gladiator in the Cap
itol is most affecting and perfect. 1t is
not SO ingeniously contrived as the
LAGOON in the Vatican, it has not the
elegant impressiveness of the Moses OF
Angelo it has not the grandeur OF the
Apollo. nor yet the beauty of the Venus,
but there is combination of attractions
which makes it one of the most perfect
in all. and which causes the traveller to
uncover his head in admiration of the
work. 1t is no mere figure of a dying
man in marble, but it is agony; it is
death imprinted on the marble itself.
The deep scar is seen on the breast OF the
figure, which rests PROSTATE on one hand,
and as the life blood oozes away, the
very face seems to shadow forth its woe
and speak to the stranger who stands be-
fore. Is is life in marble; it is sculpture
brought to its highest perfection; it Is a
statue of wondrous fascination and
power. More than two thousand years
ago this great work was produced, gen.
Grafton after generation of men have ap-
peared, gazed on its power, and then
passed away. the old temples without
the Capitol have crumbled and turned to
dust, the Appian Way has been deserted,
the Palace of the Caesars has fallen, but
the Dying Gladiator is as new to-day as
when first produced. is as supreme in its
conception and execution, in its excel
lence and power, as in the days of old
when Greece was alone in her sculpture
and art, and when Pbidias and Praxiteles
catered to the art taste of the world.

The Assembly yesterday refused to
allow the use of the Assembly Chamber
to the members of the Third House for a
meeting this evening. The meeting will
be held. but the place has not yet been
determined. A resolution will probably
pass the Senate granting the use OF that
Chamber for the occasion.
