HORRORS OF SOLITARY CoSFINE-
MENT-Thirteen years ago Thomas
Nary was sentenced to tho peniten-
tiary for life for murder. He has
recently become insane ON account,
it is believed, of long confinement.
He has been in prison longer than
any other convict. Few men are
able to bear protracted imprison-
ment. Solitary confinement for a
year would cause nine ont of ten to
die or go mad by mental depression.
Hence the laws of Tennessee provide
that no convict shall undergo solitary
confinement for more than thirty
days as punishment for obstinate
conduct. As arule, convicts are con-
fined for bad conduct only about
twenty-four hours, and in extreme
cases forty-cight hours.-Nashville

AN INSPECTOR OF MINES AND
MILLS.

In various directions and forms, ef-
forts are making to decrease the aver
ago Of perils and injuries and violen.
deaths attending the work of the un-
deryround miners. We know Of moth
ing more humane, nothing deserving
of more serious attention than these
efforts. We trust they may result in
the perfection of such q measure as
will prove practicable and effective.
Hardly q day goes by without the &C.
currence Of some accident Of most
painful and tragic nature; and 1t
seems that even with the utmost caro-
and prudence it is impossible to dlvest
the business Of deep-ininins of its risks
and dangers to human life and limb.
We notice that Mr.. Beer Of Storey
county has introduced bill into the
Assembly creating the office of a Com
missioner or Inspector of mines and
mills. The chief function of this OIL
cial is to examine their condition of
safety and strength Of construction
and to inspect the mills and the ma
chinery Of hosting works etc. As to
the framework Of this bill, whether it
be operative or not, we are not sufii-
GENTLY informed to be entitled to an
opinion; but we are quite sure that
the object sought is good one, even
if the office contemplated by the bill is
not altogether necessary to the ends
sought for. Such an office, SO suscep-
table OF abuses, in many directions,
and so liable 10 work injustice and in
convenience to the Superintendent of
the mines and mills, should be very
carefully guarded in order that it
might rot be productive OF more harm
than good. We know Of nothing which
would seem to be Of such vital interest
to the miners themselves as this ques-
ton of legislation in mitigation of their
own constant perils: and it would
seem as if there were no need of the
suggestion TO come from any outsider,
that an authoritative suggestion upon
this subject, coming from the Miners
Union of Storey county would receive
the serious attention OF the Legisla-
sure; and that the miners owe it to
that the case be thus for
nalIy stated and presented to the Sem
ate and Assembly for the enlighten-
ment OF those bodies.

THE EXAMINATION OF SOUTHERN
UTAH.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature by Mr.. Bowmer OF
Lincoln relative to the annexation Of
Southern Utah to the State of Ne
| vada. This is move in the right
direction, and it is to be hoped that
the project will receive the attention
which its importance deserves. 1t
is we'll known that of late some very
important mines have been discov-
cred in the section in question, and
these are almost exclusively owned
and controlled by Nevada men.
These capitalists and prospectors
have no adequate protection for
their interests under the Utah laws.
and consequently the work of pros.
pecting and Development is mater
tally retarded. To remedy this evil
a change is deeirsd by the people
themselves, and it is just that their
wishes should be respected by our
law makers in Carson and Washing
ton. These pioneer men are gen.
orally those who are excellent citi-
zens of the hepublic, they are in the
advance in developing the wealth of
the country, and every encourage
ment should be given to them in the
prosecution of their work. Individ
ual and outside measures should
not be taken into consideration here,
but if this section OF Utah will re-
dound more largely to the interests
of the country by becoming part
of Nevada than by remaining under
the territorial government of Utah
then the annexation should be made
and our representatives should be
instructed in regard to the same. 1t
is true that the inhabitants of Utah
are making efforts for State gov
eminent in their territory, but as
long as their present laws and
practices remain in force it is not
likely that the House at Washington
will accede to their request. Their
every day customs indirectly work
against tine proper developement of
the mineral resources OF the section
in question. and the rights of the
country itself should have precedent
over any Mormonistic customs or
laws. We hope the Committee, to
whom the bill has been referred,
will see the rropriety OF the same
and will report it with rec
concentrations to the House. 1t
is q project upon which the inhabit-
ants of Eastern Nevada and South
ern Utah are unanimous, and their
wishes should be paramount in the
Of the matter.

We talk Of Vanderbilt's wealth, but
just look here The combined capital
of the Rothschilds is stated by Emile
Burnouf, the well known publicist, to
have attained in the past year TO the
almost incalculable sum Of seventeen
billions Of francs. or $500, OOO, 900.
The significance of these stupendous
figures may be rudely conceived by
comparison, but there is nothing in
the history of private wealth with
which they can be compared.

After-Dirner Orator "Its in the
wonderful insight inter 'uman nature
that Dickens gets the pull over Thack-
cry; but on t'other hand, its in the
brilliant shafts o. satire, t'gether with
keen sense o humor, .that Dickery
gets the pull over Tnackens. It's just
this: Tickery is the humorist and
Dackens is the satirist. But after all,
