FROM STEIN MOUNTAIN.

Says the Slocr State of Friday, August o:
T. j.. Davidson, Senator elect from Grant
County, Oregon, arrived here yesterday after
noon from White Horse, which place he left
on Tuesday night. AT that time FIVE COM
panies of cavalry under General Forsythe
were at White Horse, having arrived there a
few days previous. On the night of the Sd
instant signal fires, supposed to have been
Aindled by hostiles, were seen on Stein
Mountain. General Forsythe at once dis
patched scouts, principally Piutes, to recon,
noitcr in the vicinity of the fires. They re-
turned to camp and reported having found
fires, but could find only one Indian track,
aud that led up the mountain side. This re-
port did not fully satisfy General Forsythe,
and lie sent party of his reliable scouts and
IN officer to Stein Mountain. They had not
returned at the time our informant left the
command at White Horse, at o'clock last
Tuesday evening. The troops intended to 60
into the Stein Mountain country if the scouts
reported hostiles in that vicinity; if not, they
were to 60 toward the Owyhee and Snake
River. They found the remains of a man,
partially covered with brush, on their way to
White Horse, but as the body had been
stripped by the Indians there was no means
Of identifying it, though they believe it to be
that OF q desertor who Was probably murdered
by the Indians.

SAFE FROM THE INDIANS. Says the Eiko
independent of Thursday
The gratifying news Is received here to-day
that the Miller family, consisting of seven
persons, who returned to their ranch on the
Bruneau last week, escaped the marauCiing
band of hostile Indians which passed up that

who went in quest of the exposed family from
Silver City, found the ranch ransacked, but
the family becoming aware of the approach
Of the Indians, fled from the river and secret
ed themselves in the hills, where they re-
manned hidden three days. The hostiles.
after going through the deserted ranch, took
what stock was handy and continued on their
way. Upon obtaining these facts Hills party

OF capturing them or the stolen stock in their

HOW THEY TREAT TRAMPS.

The Reno Gazette describes as follows how
they treat the tramps who visit that city:
Complaints were sworn out against them
by the citizens. To-day all pleaded guilty to
having been found sleeping or idling and were

Tor sentence, being allowed 10 90 upon their
own recognzance They all pr,fessed 10 have
important business on hand calling them away
to distant parts of the country, and it is hardly
probable that they took the trouble to call on
the Judge to receive sentence. His Honor is
of the belief that the best thing Reno can do
with tramp is to get rid of him. If any of
those whom he allowed to go to-day ever dare
to return the sentence will be hanging over
them and they can be taken in at once and
balled and chained. One of the men found

WESTERN NYE. e
of August 9:

WESTERN NYE.-Says the Eureka Sentinel
of August 9: ..
A gentleman who has recently made the
rounds of the western portion of Nye County,
informs us that it is the most promising sec
ton Of the State. The country is new yet,
but he says there is more ore in sight than he
has ever seen, with the same amount of work
on the Pacific Coast. The mine of the
Downie brothers is especially spoken Of as
great property. Facilities for reducing the
ores are yet to be provided in great measure,
still our informant is of opinion that the Car
Donate Point region will, within another year,
assume leading rank among the bullion pro-
ducing sections of the world. General bust
ness is dull in the small towns of the district,
and money is thing not be had

time the Indians were all about them. They
had an escort of U. S. troops part of the time
but not over the most dangerous portion OF
the route. They may well congratulate
themselves upon their fortunate escape.

tally glittering button of gold, were pen

below the waist. This was decorated with a
collar of scarlet velvet, the insignia Of the
diplomatic dignity of the minister. The
skirt was of heavier and darker material,

richly. embroidered. His shoes were sandal

leggings of the same material. short

The million and a half of dollars so gener-

North to the sufferers of the South shows a
bright side to human nature. II is not alone
the money of itself, valuable in adding 10 the

The Legal Value Of an.raa Flesh

A case Involving question of considera-
bic imp rtsrcc - hos bital patients came
before 1. Glasgow small debt court on
Wednesday. A boy named James Patrick
and his father sued the house surgeon OF
the Royal InfrmAry and one Of the nurses
for fl2, as damages sustainsi by the boy
through The defendants having, II is alleged,
cut from his right arm, without the au.
thoriiy Oi his father, piece of heal hy
flesh, for the purpose Of grating it upon
the body Of another patient.
The nur-e had, she acknowledged, taken
piece of flesh from the boys arm, for the
purpose of grating it on bad arm of an.
other patient. The practice was quite com
mon, and she did it on the authority of the
house surgeon. Her statement was, how.
ever, not confirmed by the house surgeon
who denied that he had given the nurst
any instructions to transfer the flesh of one
boy to the other. On the conclusion of the
evidence the Sheriff found the nurse liable
in e5, damages and costs, but the case
against the house surgeon was found moi

AEG,IANlSTAN.

The attitude Of England in the present
Afghanistan afi,ir is very severely criticize d
in most quarters. The general interpreta-
ton of the matter is that Englsndis getting
up quarrel for the purpose Of giving her a
prete1t for conquering the country and an
ne1ing it TO her Indian Empire. In re-
view of the situation, the St Louis 7ines Of
the 2nd says:
The viceroy of India, having heard that a
Russion Commission was about to visit Ca
bool, the capital of Afghanistan, immediate.
ly sent an Embassy towards the same capital,
guarded by three hundred cavalry. When
this military visitstion reached the noun
tain pass at the boundary between India and
the domain of Shere Ali, it was stopped by a
superior force, and, without resistance, re-
turned and reported TO the Niceroy Of India
This reception was construed into an insult,
and is now made the excuse for an invasion
and occupation of Afghanistan. This means
AS all can plainly see-the conquest of that
State and the pensioning of the Ameer, as in
the case OF the King Of Oude. 1t is a matter
OF indifference to the people of all free coun-
tries whether Russia or England attains the
territory In question but 1t is not a little
curious to witness the illimi'ab assumption
OF Great Britain when she questions the right
OF Russia TO make treaty with q friendly
power because the territory Of that power
happens to join that of the pirated donna Ct
Great Britain. Nations, like individuals, are
prone to exhibit Inconsistencies; and the
present policy of Great Britain In the East is
an apt illustration of the saying.

Another issue is the proposed destruction
Of the national banks, and we presume that
at the beginning of the session bill VIII De
introduced to abolish them. On the question
of getting rid OF the banks We believe ttere
is not much difference OF opinion among par
ties in the west, the feeling being generally
against the banks. There are those IN both
parties who are in favor OF retaining them,
but they are generally those who have d.
rect interest in them. IL Is much easier,
however to express a size 10 get Iid OF
them than 10 accomplish that result IL
would be extrt mely hazardous II attempt a
movement which would deprive US OF nearly
one-half OF our paper currency Unless we
could see in advance how we could replace
II with better currency, and do this without
the confusion aud uncertainty which in cur
rency changes are SO fatal TO all business and
enterprise. What the business communities
of the country ne. d now more than increased

as TO the near fina cial future. To give This
