1t is now generally understoodson the
Comstock that William Sharon will be
a candidate for reelection. That he
intends to be has been known away
from the Comstock since the Legisla-
ture was in session. He is largely in
terested in the Virginia & Truckee Rail-
road, and the influence which prevented
the passage of bill for the reduction of
fares and freights on that road are said
to have been brought to bear on nearly
all the hold-over Senators in the inter-
est of Sharon, and it is whispered that
those gentlemen are pledged to sup
port him for reelection to the Senate.
As the majority of the ''hold-overs"
proved by their votes on the railroad
question last winter that they do not
consider verbal pledges binding, it is
probable that the Sharon managers ex-
acted written guarantees FROM them. to
support him for reelection, If such is
the fact, he can, in all probability,
count on the votes of majority of the
next Senate. That body is composed
OF twenty-five members, fourteen of,
whom are ''hold overs" OF these, one,
Shepherd of Elko, is Democrat. and
one, Meder of Ormsby, is an Independ-
emit, and twelve are Republicans.
Meder is an Independents in name only,
and, if we remember correctly, voted with
the crooked railroad crew on every
question of interest to them that came
before the Senate, and Sharon may
therefore safely count ON his vote. 1t
~ clearly evident that Sharon, so far as
the Senate is concerned, stands good
chance of getting a. majoricy of the
totes Of that body, as. the "hold-overs"
will control the caucus, and the caucus
will decide who. shall be the candidate.
Another term for Sharon is almost GER
tain, and nothing can prevent it but
the election of members next year who.
will respect their pledges, one of which
should be to oppose the reelection of
Sharon, or any other Californian, to the
United States Senate from Nevada, un-
der any and all circumstances.

Since a recent rain the country
about Lake View, Clifton and other
stations on the New. York and Erie.
Railroad, has been overrun with toads
from a quarter of an inch to an inch in
length. Some are nearly black, Others
almost white, and hundreds of them are
red. They swarm in the grass and
weeds like grasshoppers, and hop on
the sidewalks ins such numbers that
they are crushed at every step taken by
pedestrians. They are especially nu-
merous along the railroad track. Thous-
ands of them. were travelling all day
up and down the track, close along the
rails. Chickens have devoured them
by hundreds.

sorrewfal Experience OF Good ~"
Z Man an a sleeping Car

II was ON, a Pullman sleeper.
Among the passengers were a middle
aged couple evidently ON their nrs'
journey, and a. sour-faced old maid,
rather desiccated in her general effect,
who was travelling alone. The couple
had an upper berth, and the maiden
well stricken in years the upper berth
in the adjoining section. In the same
car were a couble Of frolicsome Youths
ready for any sort of mischief pea
time came and all hands retired. But
the husband could not sleep. whether
it was. because of the motion OF the'
cars. the noise. or the novelty OF the
situation. he could not tsll, but try as
he would, he could not sleep. AT
length it occurred to him that ne was
thirsty. The more he thought OF lt'the
more thirsty he got. So he called the
porter, who brought the ladder and
helped him down.
Now. while he was gone for the
water, one of the "boys" stepped out
of bed and shifted the ladder so that 1T
rested against the berth in which the
ancient maiden was sleeping, and then
returned to bed to note the result. In
a moment OF two the husband returned,
and crept quietly to the steps, anxious
to make 40 little noise as possible
so as not to awake his wife. The
occupant of, the berth thus rudely
intmded upon awoke with start and
screamed. The husband, supposing
it to be his easily frightened wife,
tried to reassure her, and said,
"Its only me-. ''Only you, you old
scoundrel, said the venerable maiden,
'I'll teach you lesson and with that.
she seized him by the hair of his head
and screamed for help. Then he howledt
with pain Then his wife, awakened
by the noise, discovered where her hus-
band was, and raised her voice in
lamentations, heaping reproaches upon
her faithless spouse. Then the passen-
gers all got up and demanded an ex-
planation of the comnetion, and; fore
most among them was the wretch who
had causedt all. Then the husband,
covered with confusion, and utterly I'M
able to account for what he had done,
climbed down from his perch and SUNK
away to bed, where he was soundly
lsctured for his faithlessuess. Alto
gether it was most uncomfortable,
though ludicrous, situation, and the
chances of defiance that were exchanged
between the wife and the old maid all
through next day were a study.

Horrors Of the Quarantine.
DECENCY AND HUMANITY SACRIFICED.
IChicagO Time


ST. LOUIS QUARANTINE, July 26.-The
Oucheta Belle arrived at this station at 8
O'Clock this evening. There is no sickness
of any kind on board among her 2S5 passen-
gers. Although she has complied with all
the rules and regulations of the national
and Tennessee State board of health, has not
pound of freight and has been under the
sanitary care of competent medical officer,
as the rules direct, ever since her departure,
she is ordered to remain here for the present.
Anxious friends in st. Louis are awaiting US
with minds agonized by the rumors and re-
ports with which the air is filled, and here
we are detained almost within sight of them.
We feel as though all our sacrifices and the
expense We have been put to to
comply with the quarantine regula-
tions are poorly repaid by this
reception. There are at least fifty children
and infants among the deck passengers, who
will have to try to rest tonight, as they have
done for the past fifty hours, on the rough
deck, or in their mothers tired arms. OF
course there are no conveniences for such q
crowd, and even decency is sacrificed in the
condition of living they are compelled to
submit to. Your own noble State met us
with even rougher repulse at Cairo last
night, and a little bullet-headed Irishman in
policeman's uniform, and worse than q
policeman's manners, refused to allow any
communication between the boat and shore.
The two counties just opposite here, Monroe
and Shelby, are patrolling the river banks
with rifles and shot-guns to prevent
any of us from leaving, although
several of our number live at or are destined
for Grand Tower, Chester and neighboring
points. A Mrs. Sullivan, with two small
children, begged the captain, with streaming
cheeks, not to curry her past her home in
Chester, but he was powerless to aid her.
We ask the Chicago Times to publish our
protestagainst this monstrous outrage on
the rights of American citizens, and to use
it's influence to compel some observance of
the simplest dictates of common sense and
common humanity.

passengers, RICHARD ME1sTER,
