THE legislation desired on account
of the Memphis and Paducah railroad
is thus explained in the Dyersburg
Gazette Of the 9th inst:
Another strong reason why we are
interested in an extra session is, that
we may have legislation upon the
subject of our railroad. 1t is a known
fact that last spring the Memphis, Pa
ducah & Northern Railroad Company
had negotiated with capitalists for
enough money to complete the road
this year; when, at the last moment, a
supposed defect in the charter to mako
and secure the bonds, broke off the
Negotiation. Legislation will be nee
essary to overcome the difficulty.
ILet US have that legi Station. We call
|upon Governor Marks to call ansextra
session for the benefit of Memphis
and the state and to embrace in bis
call the object Of our railroad.

HeImbOIA's Medical Preparation 1


Helmbolds various medical prepara-
tions have for the last twenty years or
more occupied prominent place on the
shelves Of every respectable druggist and
physician in the land. The skill displayed
in their preparation, the invariable
promptness and efficiency Of their action,
the absence of nauseous and disgusting
taste OF odor, and the attractive manner
in which they are put up, have made them
universal fayorites. Especially is this the
case with .Helmbolds famous Buchu, a
medicine which has become indispensable
in the treatment of, large and trouble
some class Of diseases particularly those
which affect the digestive and urinary
organs. As a diuretic, it is invaluable,and
the great advantage it possesses over other
preparations is the absolute purity Of the
ingredients, and the uniformity Of
strength. Parents purchasing should be
careful to see that Helmbold 5 proprietary

Riley Armstrong OFF to the New
Camp.

w. r. {" Riley"D Armstrong left
last Thursday morning for Lake Dis
trict, in Mono county, California, to
initiate operations, on behalf Of the
parties who own the $4,000 bond on
the Armstrong mine. His departure
will be regretted by old Comstockers,
although each and every one of them
will heartily wish him success in his
new field of operations. Riley"
Armstrong has been resident Of this
city since 1859, and has shared the
vicissitudes of the country to a
greater extent, probably, than any
other of the pioneers, but, whether
ain" or "out" of luck, rich or poor,
he has always been the same square,
whole-souled, even tempered, hopeful
fellow of the early days. The TIMES,
therefore, but echoes the wish of all
who know him when it expresses the
hope that his new "diggins will
"pan out" big.

A MINERS OPINION OF sUTRO.
He Says He Would Not Live There
Unless He We're Starving.

Bart. COlgan, Financial Secretary
of the Miners Union of Virginia
City, was down to Sutro last Mon
day, and did not like the appear
ance of things worth cent. He
says that it must be impossible for
a man to keep from getting lousy,
every place of lodging or sleeping
is so overcrowded. At the board
inghouses there is such a rush that
men actually fight for a plate of
victuals. There are probably three
hundred men out of employment
in the town. while about 500 are EN-.
ployed in and about the tunnel,
and scores are discharged every day.
There are not tools enough for the
men employed, and clothes are
either stolen from the changing
rooms or the pockets rifled of their
contents when the men are at work.
Besides, the water is hardly fit for
a hog to drink. Altogether, he
says that Sutro is most undesira.
BILE place for a man to work in, and,
as far as he is concerned, he would
not go to work there unless he were
starving.

A CHINESE THIEF OvERTAKEN.
The Ruse of the Beast to Excite
Public Sympathy.

Last Tuesday Chinese wood ped
dler of Dayton disappeared, taking
with him $500 belonging to his part
ner. The latter having lodged a
complaint, Sheriff Cooke and Deputy
Sheriff Motley started in pursuit
and captured the thief at Empire.
He at first denied all knowledge of
the theft, but upon being told that he
would have to come back to Dayton
to answer the charge, agreed to pay
the money over in Carson, if the
officers would take him there. This
was agreed to, and all hands started
for Carson. Once there, however,
the Chinaman began to moan and
pretend to have been severely hurt.
He was taken to Jail, but was re.
leased, as he had been arrested with
out warrant. He bore no evidence
of ill-treatment. He then turned
the tables by having his ex-partner
arrested for assault and battery; but
about half an hour after he was
was again re-arrested ION a warrant,
this time), and placed under bonds to
appear for trial. The above is
CLEANED from the Carson Appeal Of
Wednesday.

The Bergers ut Piper's.

A large audience greeted the Ber-
gers and Sol. Smith Russell on their
opening night. The concerted pieces
were finely rendered and the solos
were all heartily encored. The first
of the latter ION a saxophone, by
Miss Eta Morgan) took the audience
by surprise; first on account of the
novelty, the instrument being seldom
seen outside of the large European
orchestras; and, secondly, that lady
should be able to play so heavy a
wind instrument so we'll. Miss Anna
Teresa Berger proved her right to the
title of "Cornet Virtuoso. The
bell-ringing of the Bergers and
the Misses Morgan and Maddox was
well received. The test of their skill
was the greater from the fact that
they rendered many of the most
popular airs of the day. The musi-
cal part was a rare treat. Besides
this there was ludicrous portion
A number Of the ladies are handsome,
and those who are not imagine them
selves so-result; a group playing
wind instruments aud trying to look
pretty. The sight can be better
imagined than described, and TO wit
ness it is worth double the price of
admission. With the troupe comes
Sol. Smith Russell in his matches
impersonations. His sketches, having
been repeated on the Comstock time
and again, are becoming tiresome.
There will be matinee this after
noon, when all who can should at
tend and enjoy real treat. The en-
gagement closes this evening.

County Superintendent Young has
received petition from tax-paying

southeastern part Of the county, re-
questing that school district be es-
tablished in Mason Valley and vicin-

the requirements of the law on the
subject, Mr.. Young will, transmit it
to the County Commissioners with
his approval. The new district will
probably BIO formed at once, and the
new school will be in operation be-
fore the end of May. There are
twenty-five children of school age
in the district.
