The practice Of opium eating has be-
oome 80 prevalent, and the amount used
Of the drug is SO enormous that public
meeting has been held to attempt to stay
,bs evil. The statement that In Stanton,
Va a place of 10000 inhabitants, one
hundred pounds Of opium are eaten week
w. a pound to every one hundred, men,
women and children, Is msnifestly a gross
evaporation but it is quite sufficient to
know that not only there,but in the coun-
try at large, the use Of the preparations
Of opium is very large, and is constantly
increasing. As between opium and liquor,
the opium is incOmparsbly the most per-
niciOus.

LEGIsLATiNG AGAINST TRAMPs.

A year ago the State of New Hamp.
shire was overruu with tramps. They
sSarmed in every village. rsided good
many farm houses in the country. and
Became an intoierable nuisance in the
community. When thu Legislature
convened, its attention was directed to
she matter, and the shrewd Yankee
lawmakers consulted with each other
rs to the best method of abating the
the nuisance, The result was the
passage of an act in substance as fo,-
bows: ANY tramp who begs Is to be
arrested; if he is native of the State
he Is to be sent to the town where he
Belongs; if he is not a native of the
State, he is to be sent to the State
Prison Tor two years" A reward of
800 is given for the arrest and convic-
sion of tramp. but the reward is never
stained. for the simple reason that not
Tramp can be found in the State. 1t
Aas been suggested that the next Legis.
Ature Of this.State pass a law similar
10 that of New Hampshire. and thus
prevent the death of so many tramps on
aae railroad near Reno. The reporter
OF the Reno Gazette may object to the
passage OF such an, act, as it would de-
Rrise him OF u daily local item: but his
objection would bs an incentive to the
editor of the Journal. who is elected to
The Legislature. to work hard for such
law.

INDIAN ANNUETIEs.

Indian agents for the Western Sho
shones are now distributing annuities
among the members of the tribe along
the railroad. The hunting grounds of
the tribe extend from Salt Lake west to
Iron Point, which is the boundary be.
tween the Shoshones and Piutes. and
from about the Idaho line south TO
Liucoln county. The country in
habited by the Shoshones is similar in
every respect to that in which their
western neighbors. the Piutes, range,
and though these tribes do not speak
the same dialect, their customs and
manner of living are similar in every
particular. The whites in this part of
the country, where the tribes mix to
some extent, cannot distinguish Piute
from Shoshone; but the Government
makes wide distinction between them.
Yearly the Shoshones are furnished by
Uncle Sam with blankets and clothing,
and in cold weather provisions. while.
their Piute neighbors hereabouts re-
ceive nothing whatever from the Gov.
eminent. The cause of this partiality
on the part of the Great Father at.
Washington is not apparent to the pale
faces or red men of this part of Nevada.
The Piutes are certainly entitled to as
much consideration from the Govern
Ment as the Shoshones at Battle Noun
balm and Elko. yet while the latter receive
warm blankets. comfortable clothing
and provisions, their Pinte neighbors
must provide those necessaries for them
selves or freeze and starve during the
winter season.

TIE Misunderstanding large audience
greeted Mr.. F. S. Chanfrau last evening in
De WaIden's PLAY entitled "Sam," and he
fully sustained the high reputation he long
since attained here, OF frst-class actor.
While the play Of Sam y; is not very re-
markable for any depth OF thought in It's
composition, it is nevertheless filed with
ridiculous situations, and, like all those
plays written for such actors as Owens,
Florence, and Sothern, the other characters
are so subordinated and, as it were, lost
sight OF before the hero, that the manager
cares little for the strength Of the company
so long as he has a star to play the part. The
support last night, while much of the usual
character, was in many respects very good.
Mrs. Chester, as the strong-minded and
philosophical but superannuatcd Miss Eu-
phemia Roslyn, was simply inimitable,
while Miss Greybrook Mordaunt and Mr..
Maurice each played well their parts. !
"Sam," Of course, though, was the GEN.
tire Of attraction, and kept the house in a
perpetual roar OF laughter throughout the
play. Mr. Chanirau as the blasted English
man, "you kno,o," is capital, and he acts
withan ease that is truly refreshing. Want
OF space prevents more extended notice;
but all who wish to spend most enjoyable
evening, and laugh and grow fat, should
60 and see exit" tonight. I,.......
