THE GOvERNOR ELECT.

John Ell. Kinkead, the Governor elect
of Nevada. arrived here to-day from
the west. He met with an enthusiastic
reception. the people, regardless of
party, turning out to receive him. As
Humboldters, all rejoice in his election
to the chief magistray of the State, and
were it not for the. fact that Bradley
mads an unexceptionably good Gov.
ernor, aud people felt that he was en-.
titled to consideration, Kinkead's ma.
jorlty would have run up in the hun
dreds in Humboldt county.
1t is little remarkable that in the
fourteen years which Nevada has been
State, out of the niue candidates,
some Of whom Were Democrats and
others Republicans. nominated for
State offices from this county, only one
Was defeated. The nomination of a
Humboldter by either party for State
office, judging by the past, is equiva-
lent to his election.
We congratulate Governor Kinkead
upon his success. He was the choice
OF the SILVER STATE from among all the
candidates on the Republican side for
the Governorship. and believing, from
personal acquaintance of years with
the gentleman, that he would make a
good Governor. it observed during the
campaign q strict neutrality between
him and Governor Bradley. satisfied
that either would perform the duties OF
the office credltably to himself and sat.
isfactorily to the people.

Audacious Robbery.

New YORK, Nov, 8.
Johnson's jewelry store, on Eighth
avenue. was robbed last evening of 81
QUO worth of clocks aud watches In the
presence of large number of passers
by. Shortly after = o'clock two, men
entered the store. One closed the
door, and the other, with revolver,
kept in their places Mr.. johnson, the
proprietor. his clerk, and q customer.
Fwo others then smashed the large
plate windows and packed in two bags
the stock exposed. While they were
thus occupied two others, armed with
pistols, ordered passers by to move on.
The property having bsen packed, the
thieves, still protected by their COM
panions, moved quickly to butcher
Cart III waiting at the corner, and drove
rapidly away. The two who had kept
possession OF the store receiving q
preconcerted signal, turned on the
throng and fired pistols in the air. A
stampede OF the people followed and
the thieves all escaped.

THE DEFEAT OF TAMMANY.

The Tammany nominees for munich
pal offices in New York City were de-
fsated last Tuesday by large majority.
This is considered the most remarkable
result of the late election. For years
and years, Tammany has controlled the
City Government of New York and die
tated its policy. To accomplish the
overthrow of this powerful organizi-
uon, all the great journals OF the EN-
pire City. and the friends of TIlden
and Conkling united. Tammany op-
posed Tllden. who Was unable to con-
tend with 1t alone. 50 he combined his
forces with Conkiipg, who wanted Ger
tain Democratic Assembly Districts to
insure his reelection to the United
States Senate. The arrangement was
that the Democrats should have control
OF the City government and the Re-
publlcans were to have certain Con-
gressmen and members of the Legisla-
ture. This agreement was carried out
by all parties to the CON bination. Ed
ward Cooper, Democrat, and a warm
friend of TIlden was nominated for
Mayor aud elected, and friends of Conx-
Ling were nominated for. and elected to
the Legislature, thus insurlng his re-
election to the United States Senate.

Scottish Pearls.

The west coast of Scotland, which is
almost proverbial for its rainy weather,
was exceptionally favored in the sum.
mer of 1878 with very hot and dry
season. So severe, indeed, was the
drought that the upper waters of the
Clyde and other streams were reduced
to remarkably low condition, and this
state of the rivers brought into easy
access the pearl bearing mussel. The
number of shells found was large, and
for the better sort (Which are of a pink
ish color) there was ready market. A
few years ago the beauty and value of
Scottish pearls created quite an excite
ment. Some of the. gems obtained at
that time fetched over 925, few sold
at from s3 to e10, but the generality of
them were inferior, being worth half a
oIown piece. Queen Vicorria and the
then Empress of the French were among
the purchasers of the pearls, Her Majesty
having paid e40 pounds for very fine
specimen. 1t is stated that one pearl is
found, on an average, in every thirty
shells, but that only one gem in twelve
is worth any thing. The " fishers" have
learnt by experience that a young and
smooth shell contains no pearls, and
molluscs" of that nature should be al
once returned to the river, on the chance
of their being more productive wher
they get older. Mussels gathered off the
sandy bed hardly ever repay the trouble
of their search, while those which art
taken from stony places are the mos
likely to "have and to hold" pearls O
some value. The fishery has been prose
cuted with great diligence, but the re
suits are of too uncertain character t.
present any great inducement for enter
prise on large scale.

Message from the President.

The following self-explanatory message
has been received by the Senate from Presi-

A Blind Lovers Zeal.

Last summer the public school teach
ers of Rochester made an excursion to
Chautauqua Lake. Among the party
were two sisters, one of whom, while at
the lake, bestowed her charity on a
young man who was blind and who lived
at jamestown. The blind youth fell in
love with the girl before she left, but
she was not aware of that fact. Some
months passed away and the excursion
had been forgotten by all, it seems, but
the blind youth. One day last week he
reached Rochester and was taken into
custody as pickpocket. The officer
soon learned his mistake and gave the
young man a seat in the waiting room.
There he remained all the afternoon,
when the officer thought it about time
to inquire where he wanted to go. He
told the officer without any hesitation,
that he had come up to see a girl he had
met at Chautauqua Lake last summer,
and desired to be at once shown her resi-
dence. The official concluded first to
interview the young lady, which he did.
She was indignant that her kindness
had been so misinterpreted, and declined
to see the sightless Cupid, who having
not a cent of money, was shipped back
home on pass.

GRA VEROBBING.

The recent robberies of the grave have
the state of affairs which existed in
England about fifty years ago, when
"body-snatching" was regular trade.
So skilful were the robbers, that they
required but fifteen minutes to draw
q body from the grave. No trace was
left of their work.
One of these men, Burke, being in
church one day, heard that passage of
Scripture read which describes how
Hazael killed the king by smothering
him with a wet cloth. This method
struck Burke as sure and safe from de-
lection, and by it he committed many
murders for the sake of the profit he
reaped from the sale of the dead bodies.
The devil can be found even behind a
text of Scripture by those who want to
find him. 81 -
When Burke's murders were discov-
cred, the English public were seized
with a panic. One of the oldest mani
festations of this craze was the queer
devices of dying persons to protect their
bodies from the resurrectionists. In
Buckinghamshire a Major Backhouse
an old East India officer, was buried by
his own orders in front of his house, Oh
a solid pyramid of flint, twelve feet
square at the base, in which he was
placed upright, drawn sword in his
hand. -.
A baronet of Yorkshire was buried al
night ten feet deep in level potato
field, the ground being plowed up a
: once to remove all chance of discovery
Another country gentleman's coffin wa
swung to the branches of an oak tree il
front of his hall door. Another wa
!, covered with twenty tons of stone, an,
still another cased in lead and hung t.
beam of his own barn.
The terror extended even to thi
e country, and precautions against grave
1 robbery were more common fifty year
n ago than now, when there is more dar

A Romance in Real Life.

A lady, writing to an English paper
on registry offices, tells the following
story:
Nineteen years ago | found myself
an orphan through the sudden death of
my father, who had only just gone to
London to live from Canada, and after
his funeral I was nearly penniless, and

me | must have my name on the books,
and the fee was Is. 3d., without which
he could not tell me anything. With a
sob l handed him my last half-crown,
leaving myself literally penniless, and
begged him to be quick to tell me Of
some one who wanted a nurse-girl, or
anything-I did not care what, SO long
as it was work. The villain, with a
leer, told me to call again in a few
days, and perhaps he could do something
for me. /, with tears, begged for the re.
turn of my money, telling him that I
had not tasted food that day, but he
affected not to believe me, and told me
he should call in the police unless I left
