it lost the Common Branch of that

What Reorganization has Done.
The Asylum, Penitentiary and Re-
formatory institutions for the fiscal
year ending November Is, 1877, cost
Ohio $1,S76, 1882. That was under
Republican Superintendency. These
Institutions for the fiscal year ending
November Is. 1878, cost Ohio 81, GAO,
592 53-$235, $40 80 less than they
cost in 1877, and their management
was then only about two.thirds of a
year under Democratic Snperinten-
dencs. In view of this reduced ex-
penditure, without impaired efficiency,
but with an increased number to be
cared for, should the Democratic par
ty be trested as guilty of a crime for
having reorganized these institutions

it would be if this strange fascination,

last always. But it all changes when
we see our Desdemona. or Ophelia, or
Juliet, or Pauline swigging lager be-
hind the scenes. To most people the
period when the glory of theatres and
actors is at it's zenith is before the
twentieth year is reached. General
Sherman, however, is an exception to
this rule. The fever has just struck
him. I have never seen such simplici-
ty in so old man. He is an inveterate
theatre goer, and his alteration for act
ors and actresses is something sublime.
His attentions to them must be delight
fully refreshing, like the breeze from a
meadow. He waits on them, runs after
them, and, before them is the most
humble of wretches. If am not mis-
taken General Sherman graduated from
West Point in 1S40, and can not be far
from 60 years of age, yet he flies around
the humblest of actors like dancing
master, and is never SO happy as when
he has an actress of some distinction
on his arm. With the ordinary mortal
Sherman is as cross and surly as he can
well be, and seems to delight in doing
ill-natured things, but with actors and
actresses he is as genial as May morn
ing. How charming it will be for him
to die in the belief that everything on
the stage is real.

WELL SA1D.--Says the Reno Gazette OF
Friday evening:
The " & T. R. R. had promised that
when the time came they would make such a
showing as to leave no more to say on the
subject There is great effort being made
to make the overland road the scapegoat and
let local roads off light, whereas, it is we'll
known that only Congress can have any effect
on the big road, and the implication
is that a majority wants cheap glory
with their constituents without cinching the
railroads 1t will be very hard, however, to
hoodwink people so thoroughly aroused as
ours, and we warn the faltering members
that they may expect to be held to strict
account.

THE PEOPLE AND THE RAILROADS.

Says the Silver State of Friday: "The peo-
pie of Nevada seem to be thoroughly aroused
on the railroad question. Meetings have been
held in Virginia City and Eureka, both of
which towns are situated on roads wholly
within the State, and therefore, according to
the decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, subject, beyond all doubt or
dispute, to State legislation ; and a bill draft
ed by able lawyers, which is expected to re-
leve the people from the grasp of the ccrpo-
rations, and at the same time allow them rates
for fares and freights which will insure them
good interest on the money invested. The
people of those towns have also taken the
Central Pacific Railroad in hand, and pro-
cured the services of lawyers to draft bill
which will meet the requirements of that road
and insure to its patrons lower rates than they
have been accorded by the owners of that
road In Storey County petitions are being
circulated which represent to the Legislature
that the citizens of this State have been, and
are now, oppressed beyond endurance by the
sxorbitant exactions and unjust discrimina-
tions of the several railroads in the State !;
and as petitions to them for fair dealing and
reasonable charges are utterly unheeded, re-
spectfully but earnestly asking the Legisla-
ture to give the people that relief which can
only be obtained through legislation. In Eu-
reka the people are thoroughly aroused on the
railroad question, as in Virginia City, and
mass meetings are being held, and resolutions
on the subject adopted Senator Doolin from
that county, who is reported as having said
before the Railroad Committee of the Legis-
lature, that his constituents had no grounds
for complaint against the Eureka and Palisade
Railroad, and that the meetings held did not
represent the sentiments of a majority of the
taxpayers, has been denounced in unmeasured
terms, and he Is now set down rs tool of the
corporation to which. in all probability, he
owes his election. 1t Is useless for the rail
road companies or their Senators Doolin, of
whom, as might reasonably be expected, there
are a few, and perhaps many, In the Senate

able reduction of fares and freights, and the

ton on railroads in Nevada That much, at
least, the people demand of their representa-
,ives in the Legislature, each and al of whom
were individually and collectlselv pledged by
the platforms on which they were elected to
that end Those who, like Doolin, now prove
recreant and have the brazen impudence To
assert in the Legislature or before commit
tee of that body that the people have no
grounds for complaint, should be requested
by their constituents TO resign the trust in
them reposed, and be publicly proclaimed as
pledge breakers, unworthy the confidence or
respect of honorable men.

MR.. SMALLIMIT.
BLUCHER.

Mr.. Arthur McEwen is writing some splen-
did letters to the Virginia Evening Chronicle.
In last evenings issue of that paper this very
racy writer presents US with the following
sketch: Mr.. Smallimit, being triumph
autly elected by the free and independent
voters of the Great East, came to Carson at
the beginning of January, and who so loud
as he in his boasts of what he would do to
the bloated monopoliesl He was elected by
the people, sir, one of the people by -,
and no cursed railroad company could come
fooling around him with their sack. The
people were being robbed, Mr.. Smallimit
cried, and the railroads were sucking the
blood of the country. If he went back on
his pledges and failed to help through law
reducing fares and freights, he hoped, in a
tone which the town could hear, that his
people would hang him when he returned to
Flumetown. Mr.. Smallimit has been here
Just six weeks | met him this morning.
His air is thoughtful and weighty, as becomes
public man. There is a good deal of
loose talk about this railroad question" he
said, in the judicial manner which he has
recently acquired "We want to do the
right thing, of course, but we don't want to
be hasty. Now, I'm in favor of any just
measure. The question is, sir, what IS a just
measured Let us know where we stand. We
should be careful not to cripple the railroads
in our zeal to correct them. They are a
blessing to the community, sir, and should be
fostered and encouraged to extend their lines.
As for this senseless bowling on the part of
the press-these absurd and abusive lnsinua
tons that I've been captured by the V. & T. D.,
why they don't bother me, bless you. Out
our way the people don't complain about our
little local road-at least none of the tax-pay
ers do. How will | vote! Hum Well, I'll
follow the best of my judgment and regard
the best interests of the whole State, and not
part of it. "
Then Mr. Smallimit walked jauntily off,
twirling his new cane
:" Hullo," | said to mutual acquaintance
who had overheard the conversation, whats
the matter with Smallimlt9 He was rabidly
anti-railroad last week.

ance, Why, he's changed his mind, that's
all. 1t is also an odd coincidence that he has
been with Charley Wallace good deal lately.
He's made winning at faro, too, think,

been foolish enough to say rather publicly that

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT IN THE CALI
FORNIA MINE

The Virginia Chronicle of last evening" re
iates the following;
This morning about 10 o'clock Henry Shell
Ienburgh and BENJAMIN Davis were instantly
killed by blast that made the connection
2l50 drift of the California. 1t appears that
for some days past the forces of the two drifts
have been IN suchl close proximity to each
other that the sound of the drilling could be
heard from one To the other Yesterday Mr..
Mackey gave orders to establish system of
signals, to be given before each blast was fired
connection might be driven through at
any time. 1t was accordingly agreed that a
succession of quick taps with hammer on
the rock would be the signal that blasting
operations were to begin, and a number of
slow taps would indicate the number of car
tridges fired. About 9 o'clock the signals
came from the Ophir warning the California
men that a blast of seven shots was about to
De put in. Soon afterward the California men
retired and waited until nearly 10 o'clock
when seven shots were heard apparently from
the Ophir side. Davis and Shelenburgh
vent into the drift Immediately, and as they
reached the fuse the blast from the Ophir
blew a mass of rock into their faces The
California drift was a little the lower of the
two, and the bottom of the Ophir drift was
about the middle of the California drift. The
blast made hole about two feet square. The
rock struck the men in the breast, and must
have killed them instantly. 1t appears that
there blast of seven shots fired in some
other part the mine just before the blast
fred in the Ophir. The two men mis-
took the locality of the blast, and thinking
that the Ophir blast had beenlfred, walked
directly in the face of death. Shellenburgh
was abont forty-six years of age, and lived
on J street, in this city, and Davis was about
thirty, and lived near the Homestead House,
in Gold Hill. Both men were married The
inqotest will be held tonight.

born in 1884 at Lyons, France, and was con-
sequently in the 45th year Of his age. Pre-
vious to his leaving his native country, he
wrestled with all corners without meeting his
equal. He was noted fer his extraordinary
strength, one of his feats beng the raising
and shouldering a weight of 800 pounds,
which has never been done by any other
known person, although upwards of 1000
has been raised from the floor without har
ness, and double that with it. He came to
this State i'll 1870, in company with Monsieur
Perrier, with whom he gave exhibitions iii
wrestling, etc. In his later years he became
quite dissipated, often drinking to excess,
thereby bringing the disease which ulti
mately caused his death. Like the majority
