THE Arctic exploring ship Resolute,
which is now heing broken up in Eng.
land, was sent from this country TO Eng
land after her discovery by American
sailors in northern seas in charge OF
Commander Henry /. Hartstein, who
received the queen and Prince Albert
on board, and was IN turn entertained
at the palace, dining with the royal
family Before her abandonment in the
ice the Resolute received on board Capt
Mcclure and his company from the
investigator. The Iast-named vessel
had entered the arctic regions from
Behring's straits, but had become beset
in the ice, and her company had de,
serted her and were travelling over the
ice in the hope Of escape to the east
ward when they met a portion of Capt
Austin's crew. Hence Mcclure and
his companions may be said to be the
only persons who ever went through
the northwest passage.

Two hundred and fifty-seven drink
ing saloons in Richmond, Va, made re-
turn Of the drinks sold during the
month of May as registered by the Moi
fat liquor register. They amounted in
the aggregate to 91,913 alcoholic drinks
and 121, $3.50 drinks of malt liquor.
Under the amended law the tax on al
coholic drinks was reduced from two
and one-hall cents on each drink to one
and one-half cents, the tax on malt
liquor being half cent. A computa-
ton based on the price charged for
these drinks by the saloon-keepers
shows that, if all drinks were registered
the gross receipts of the saloon-keeperS
amounted only to 81 each per day
The conclusions reached from this an
alysis of the sales as reported is that the
registering of drinks is largely evaded
by the saloon-keepe,z or 10y the bar.

CAPT. EADs of lefty fame, says: SIT
idle to spend $15o,O00,oOOin digging a
canal through the isthmus when by
spending one-third as much along the
line Of the present Panama railroad
it will be perfectly easy to take ships
bodily over the isthmus." His plan
would be simply to dig ship canal
with locks alongside the railroad. He
believes It to be practicable, and, as
pared with the plan lately recommend
cd at the isthmus canal conference, on
the other side, very economical.

An ample bedding of fresh straw will
do mucn to induce tired horse to lie
down and rest. Clean grooming and an
occasional washing will also encourage
re8tfulness andimprove the appetite and
health. Overlooking is not iudicious,
and will not restore flesh lost by hard
work and want of comfortable rest. To
prevent gals, the harness should be
washed and kept soft with castor oil.

A Kansas WOman's Farm.
Lawrence (Kan) journal, June 8.


Mr.. Hoadley showed us yesterday
some heads of wheat, sample OF forty
five acres now growing on the farm of
Mrs. Mary Macutchen, situated about
five miles from this city. 1t promises
to yield twenty bushels to the acre.
This Mrs. Macutchen is somewhat re-
markable woman. She was left wild
ow with four children more than ten
years ago. In 1874, when half the peo-
pie were scared out of their wits by the
grasshoppers, she contracted for an I'M
improved farm for 81, 800, which she
gave to one of her boys. She has since
paid for the land from the surplus pro-
ducts of her own farm of 120 acres.
Last year she bought the Bob Allen
farm of $50 acres at the price of g, 800
one-fourth of which she has already
paid, and will pay over another fourth
from the crops of this year. She runs
her farm with the aid of her two sons
and without much hired help. This i
good example of what has been done
in the midst of what are called hard
times in Kansas, by a widow left with a
family of children and no resources but
farm of 120 acres.

Most of the wine used in England for
the holy communion IN Roman Catho-
lie churches comes from the VINEYARDS
of the English colleges of Lisbon and
is white; but elsewhere red wine is used.
The Roman Catholic and Episcopal
churches have no rule as to the color,
but demand pure juice of the grape.

SOME MORE COMMISSIONERS
WANTED.

Yesterday His Excelency, Governor Kin
kead, received another letter, with circulars,
this time from Concord. Massachusetts, re-
spectfully inviting him to appoint Nevada
representatives to the s. Sixth Animal Meeting
of National Conference of Charities" which
is to meet at Chicago on the 10th of June.
But nothing is said about defraying the ex-
penses of such representatives. Concerning
the communication His Excellency received
from the National Board of Trade, the fol-
lowing resolution passed at a meeting of the
Executive Committee of that Board, held in
New York on the LIST of April, 1879, is sub
joined
Resolved, That inasmuch as this Board
took the initiative steps for holding the next
Worlds Fair in New York, in 1888, the Secre-
tary be instructed to invite the Governors of
all States and Territories, and the Mayors of
the principal cities in the Union, to send four
delegates commissioners, respectively, to
the next National Convention of the Board
on June Is, 1879, and to consider such dele
gates to be Commissioners of the Exhibition,
representing sucn States, Territories and
Cities, until the close of the Exhibition.
Now, His Excellency is perfectly willing to
have the State of Nevada properly repre-
sentsd at both of the foregoing conventions,
if proper parties will apply for appointments,
md are prepared to foot their own expenses
Here is a chance for some ambitious md;yid
uals to immortalize themselves

THE APPROPRIATION OUTLOOK

A gentleman, of this city, yesterday re-
ceived letter from Congressman Daggett,
who is now at Washington promptly attend
ing to the duties for the performance of which
he was elected. He pictures the outlook for
the final passage of the appropriation bills.
with the riders attached, as very doubtful.
He says, "A deadlock is soon expected III
Congress, and the Republicans will not yield
an inch. Respecting the resumption of silver
coinage at the Carson Mint he adds that it is
not the purpose of Secretary Sherman to re-
sumo if he can help it; and that the President
cannot be prevailed upon to interfere. He
concludes his letter thus: Il see no way of
meeting this injustice except by legislation,
and it is probable that no general legislation
will be perfected this extra session AS both
our Senators are absent, am not very strong
handed, but shall do all | can in the prem
Uses"
From this is to be inferred that if Congress
does not modify its demands, the Government
will be left without a budget out of which to
defray its expenses, after the expiration of
the present fiscal year. Such a result would
be an unparalleled one in the history of any
civilized nation, and no one can foresee what
dire results would follow such unprecedented
