for a reasonable reduction Of fares
and freights. ard the passage OF
bill which will insure that reduction
on railroads in Nevada. That much
at least, the people demand of their
representatives in the Legislature,
each and all of whom were indi-
vidually and collectively 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

have no grounds for complaint,

TULES OF WHIST.

If you the modern game of whist would know,
From this great principle Its precepts now:
Treat your own hand as to yorr partners
, joined,
And play not one alone but both combined.
Your fiji st lead makes your partner understand
That is the chief component Of your hand,
And hence this Of necessity the strongest
With ace and king, don't lead king first but
ace;
With king and queen, king has first the place.
With ace queen knave, lead ace and then your
queen.
WITH ace, four small ones, ace should first be
With queen knave ten, you let the queen pre-
cede.
In other cases be sure the lowest lead.
Ere you return your friends own suit play
But trumps you must return without delay.
When you return your partners lead take pains
To lead him back the best your hand contains
II you receive not more than three at first;
II you have more you may return the worst;
But If you hold the master card you're bound
To play 1t, In most cases second round.
Whenever YOU want to lead, it's seldom wrong
To lead cup to the weak" or "thro' the
strong
In second hand your lowest should be played
Unless you mean trump signal" to be made.
Or II you've king and queen or ace and king'
Then one of them will be the proper thing.
Mind we'll the rules for trumps; you'll often
need them.
When you hold FIVE, It's always right to lead
them.
Or if the lead won't come in time to you,
Then signal to your partner so to do
To lead through honors turned up Ia bad play.
Unless you want the trump suit cleaned away.
When second hand doubtful trick You see
Don't t-..s,p it II you hold more trumps than
three,
But having three or less, trump fearlessly.
When weak In trumps yourself don't force
your friend.
But always force the adverse strong trump
hand. ..-.-.
For sequences stern custom has decreed
The lowest you must play If you don't lead.
When you discard weak suits you should
choose
For strol g ones are too valuable to loae.

Twenty Bulldogs Worth $1,000.

Among the passengers to New Or
leans by the steamer Knickerbocker,
of the Cromwell line, which left Pier
9, North river, yesterday afternoon,
were the dog-fanciers, Harry Jen-
nings, of this city, and Thomas Tug
man, of Philadelphia. They took
with them twenty-one bulldogs,
which will take part in the great
national dog fight, to be fought in
New Orleans, or the immediate vi
cinity, during the Mardi Gras and the
succeeding weeks. Messrs. Jennings
and Tugman were found in one OF
the forward deck-houses, which had
been set apart for their use. The
twenty-onc dogs were in battened
coops around the sides of the cabin.
Mr.. Jennings, who was the spokes.
man, said that he proposed to take
these dogs South to test the game
ness of the New Orleans, Boston and
Cincinnati dog-fanciers, who were to
enter animals in the coming dog.

Singular Ending OF a Divorce Case.


On the 26th day of last month
there was tried in our District Court
the divorce suit of Robinson vs.. Rob.
inson. Mrs. Caroline Robinson sued
for divorce from her husband,
james Robinson, and for $500 alimo.
ny, and judgment, we believe, was
rendered accordingly. The case was
of considerable interest and quite a
large number of witnesses were ex-
amined on both sides. Friday, the
27th, after the conclusion of the case,
the parties to the suit and the wit.
nesses left for their homes, in the
western part of the county. At
Muscotah, and before reaching her
home, Miss Martha Gentry, materi.
al witness for Mrs. Robinson. died.
On the 1st inst. Mrs. Robinson died,
and we ascertain that nearly every
witness in her behalf, some eight or
ten, are sick, some of whom are not
expected to recover. Further, the
defendant, Mr.. Robinson, we learn,
is confined to his bed and not eX-
pected to live, while of his witnesses
quite number are sick, with the
chances of recovering in some of
their cases very doubtful. 1t appears
that in the journey home, the wealth
er being very severe, these parties
contracted bad colds, which were
followed by pneumonia.-Atchison

An Ascending High Treasurer.

For the past few days some very
curious rumors have been Gu rent
upon the streets and gradually they
have taken the form that Henry
Griffin. the High Treasurer of the
Most Worthy High Court of For
testers of America, has absconced
with funds in his possession belong
ing to the order, amounting to u
large sum, variously estimated at
between 100000 and $4,000. Our
reporters have interviewed various
Forresters in regard to the matter,
but there is evidently concerted
movement on their part to give the
case as little publicity as possible,
and although it is admitted there is
trouble it is impossible at present to
gather details. Mr.. Griffin has been
absent for about two weeks and it is
possible that he can give a satisfac-
tory account of his departure and the
funds intrusted to his Roches-

WHY WE DO NOT DENOUNCl

"why don't you give so and 80
fits?"
This question has been asked the
editor Of the TIMES SO frequently
during the past few days, that it has
become monotonous. (The so and
SO referred to, it should be stated are
members of the Legislatrre.) We
will therefore reply, once for all:
We cannot, as yet, express decided
opinion as to the stand our represent
tatives will take on the railroad
question-nor will we be able 10 do
80 until after the adjournment of
the Legislature. The journals OF
both Houses will then be printed
and the votes of each member con-
sidered. Such as deserve credit
will receive it. From present ap-
pearances we believe that ALL the
representatives from Lyon county
will give full satisfaction to those
who elected them. wtotu

-LIPE in New York is not by
any means monotonous. Whenever
there isn't u wild steer loose in the

we're returning from shopping, q
rufiian jumped into their carriage
with the purpose Of plundtiing them.
The ladies fought him as well as
they could and screamed great
deal, after the most approved style
in such cases. The diver heard the
disturbance, but couldn't leave his
horses, and after the outlaw had
tumbled around as much rs he
thought necessary he got away.
All this was 10 a crowded street,
witnessed by dozens ri people, but
of such happy mould is the New
York mind that they all thought il
was family fight between husband
and wife, aud they had a great deal
of fun among themselves laughing
over it. On the whole, perhaps it is
much more comfortable to have a
wild steer or two at large. Az
