The Boise Statesman learns that the
brute who committed the outrage on a
young girl in the Payette valley, a
week ago, was captured last Friday.
The Statesman had not learned what
disposition the infuriated settlers had
made Of him, but as they threatened to
lynch him if captured, it is probable
that he has been shot or hanged.

Nevada Insane.

The last Legislature, says the Reno
Journal, appropriated $50, 900 for the
purpose of paying for the care OF our
insane for the years 1879 and 1850, an
average Of SIS, 900 per year. The ap-
preparation viii not be sufficient by
full $780, The State now pays over
81, 200 per month to Langdon & Clark,
besides all the Sheriff $ costs, which
amount to considerable sum. Our
insane have been increasing rapidly, and
we understand that but few have been
discharged. Sheriffs Miller, Baum, and
others are of the opinion that we are
paying for patients who ought to be
turned out as cured, but Langdon &
Clark have got the ''cinch' on us, and
the State will have to stand it.

Court that "thc trade mark law" Is unconsti-
tutional, Will affect many interests besides
being heavy cost to the government The
trade. mark bureau OF the Patent Office has
paid over $4,000 yearly. The total amount
Of revenue received from this source since the
law was put In operation, some six years ago,
must ID fully $25O,OOO. AS the act Of Congress-
under which this money was paid In ID now
declared unconstitutional, it Is clear
that it will have to be refunded by the
government. Gen. Paino, Commissioner OF
