startling and significant, it is now
proposed to withdraw altogether
the control OF the army from the
Parliament by transforming the
existing grant OF supplies for IA
term of years into a grant in per
petuity. Such are some OF the
centraIiZing measures now openly
discussed, ADD which, after pres
ent Indications, thtre is reason
to believe may be carried out in
fact under the present agreement
between Bismarck and the Papa
CIV. Certainly the Chancellor
would be grossly wanting in that
species of gratitude which is de
fined as a lively sense OF tavors to
come. if he failed to execute his
share of the compact; and we are
prepared therefore, to witness at
an early day a signal relaxation
of the laws against the Catholics.

How Yellow Fever Got Into New
Orleans,

The yellow fever experts discov-
cred that the yellow fever was intro
duced into New Orleans on the ship
Emily B. Souder, from Havana,
which brought two passengers sick
of yellow fever, one of whom was
purser of the ship. The quarantine
physician, who had never had any
experience in yellow fever, passed
the sick men without inspection.
The officers of the ship had brought
one of the patients from sick bed,
wrapped him In cloak and placed
newspaper in his hand in order
that he might appear to be well.
This was the purser, who, upon ar
irving at New Orleans, was taken to
the quarter where he died, and where
soon after the yellow fever made its
appearance. The ship was detained
but five hours in quarantine. The
New Orleans authorities, although
notified by Northern passenger on
the boat OF the fact that yellow fever
was brought on the vessel, paid no
attention to it.--Baltimore Sun.

ton of it. This edition is complete

gold double eagle on the goloid prin-
ciple, Of the full value of $50.

old double eagle, having very rich
hue. The design of the diverse
side is head of Liberty surmounted
by thirteen stars, between which is
the metric inscription, $50 g., 1.5 s.,
3.5c., IS grains" below which is 1879.

Remarkable Case Of Fasting.

On the I'd day of January, 1879,
Mr.. Cornelius H. Sebring, Newheld's
Commissioner of Highways, missed
from his hog house six months-old
shoat, weighing about 100 pounds:
The animal having access to small
ward outside, he (Mr. Sebringl had
no doubt that the shoat had found
means of escape and had wandered
of. He accordingly made inquiries
among the neighbors for his lost pig,
but no trace Of the porker could be
found. He gave up the hunt and
made calculations that he was out
zone pig" Thus the matter ended,
and nobody was aware of the where
abouts of Mr.. Pig until twenty-six
days after its disappearance 1.-THE 2oth
of january. On that day Cornelius
and his brother happened in the pen,
and hearing a strange noise coming
up from under the floor out of curl
osity they instituted a search to learn
from whence it came, and to the sur
prise of the two brothers the lost pig
was there found hidden away under
the pen, where it had remained since
its disappearance, twentysix days
before. Upon investigating how the
pig had become imprisoned they
found it had squeezed through under
the sill of the pen and there had re-
NAMED, without food or drink, until
its discovery by its owner.-lthacs

A Hounds Race After q Train.

J. A. Ford of this city, owns a
heavily-built mastiff hound. Bust
ness one day called him to Ceresco,
a small village eight miles distant,
and the dog accompanied him. On
his return he got on board the train
and did not discover the absence of
his dog until the train began moving,
when he etepped to the back plat
form of the Car, and there saw that
the hound had just started. The
dog overlook the train, but as the
speed of the cars was constantly
quickening, its endeavors to jump on
board we're fruitless. Then the
train began to whizz faster, and the
dog quickened his pace, and until
within mile or two Of this city
kept up with the cars, which were
going at the rate of eighteen miles
per hour. He arrived few minutes
after the cars, his feet sore and
bleeding from contact with the splin-
tiers on the ties, having made the
distance of eight miles in half an
hour.-Battle Creek (Mich) Dis

A FEW WORDS ABOUT ASSEM-.
BLYMAN SMITH.

Assemblyman Smith objects to the
structures of the people of this city.
He is very hard to please. All
through the session we have watched
his course in the Assembly, and
have invariably seen him on the
railroad side. And So pronounced q
"railroad man" has he been that,
when the Williams anti-discrimina-
ton bill came up in the Assembly,
he, assisted by that notorious back
slider, w. w. Davies, Of Ormsby,
attempted to have action upon II
postponed; and this, although he
fully knew the sentiments Of his
constituents and of the mass of the
people Of the State. We refralned
from denouncing HIM as he de-
served, partly because Of desire to
hide the sense of modification which
his acts inspired, and partly be.
cause we still hoped that he would
see the error of his ways and con.
clude that it was better to accede to
the wishes of the people among
whom he lived, than to toady 10 ex-
tortionate corporations who only
care for him just so long as they can
use him to further their ends. But
it seems that he is incorrigible; that,
furthermore, he is so indurated in his
erroneous ways that he expresses
(and in language such as only a
BLACKBOARD would use) unbounded
contempt for the very people who
picked him out from the crowd to
place him in his present honorable
position. This is adding insult to
injury, and may cause him some 70.
grets. Our citizens can stand a
great deal-they can even endure an
unfsithful representative; but we
mistake their temper II they tamely
submit to the insults of a black
guard.

Resolved, That we solemnly declare

STEVE CAGES LECTURE.

A TINES reporter attended the lee
ture delivered by Steve Gage, in the
Assembly Chamber, in Carson, last
Wednesday evening, on the subject
of railway fares and freights. Mr.
Gage spoke for about two hours, dur
ing which he presented a mass Of
facts and figures tending to show
that the rates of local and through
fares and freights on the Central Pa
ciflc Railroad were much lower than
was generally believed. He read of
lengthy list of articles Gncluding
cattle, grain, iron, ores, etc. the
freight upon which was from one
and quarter to two and three quar-
ter cents per ton per mile; claimed
that the legislation most beneficial to
the people was that which permitted
a wise discrimination in the various
kinds of freight; laid down the
proposition that low minimums
could not be enjoyed unless high
maximums were allowed; explained
the shack freight" charges to Reno
by repeating familiar arguments
about tide-water competition and the
laws of trade, but neglected to ex-
plain why the company should re-
ceive greater remuneration for car
rying freight only 500 or 900 miles
than for carrying the same much
greater distance; offered reward of
500 for every well-authenticated
case of discrimination between indi-
viduals; and concluded by warning
Nevada to beware of legislation
which would soon reduce her to the
same distress as was experienced in
Wisconsin after the passage
of the Potter law, where all
the railway companies in the State
but one were put in liquidation; and
he threatened, if the Lewis bill be-
came a law, to charge maximum
rates on all classes of freight. All
this Mr.. Gage said, and much more,
in a very entertaining and almost
convincing way. We must not omit
to state that he also referred to the
colossal proportions of the enterprise
which he was just then de-
Tending; but he never once limited
at the enormous wealth possessed by
the Central Pacific magnates, nor
even attempted to explain how six
men who ten years ago were barely
worth, altogether, a quarter OF
million of dollars could have hon.
estly come by a fortune variously
estimated, by well-informed par
ties, at from 100000, 900 to $780,
100000 The lecture was very at
tentively listened to.

SEVERAL of our leading

SEVERAL of our leading jour
nalists are much exercised by the re-
marks Of Rev. Mr.. Curr on Sunday
evening. In the course of his lee
ture he said that the city editor of a
certain daily newspaper in this city
was recently presented with copy
of the Bible, and that the said city
editor was so unfamiliar with the vol
ume that, mistaking the object of the
donor In giving it to him, he pre-
pared book review Of it for publi-
cation. Reasoning from this fiction
that all city editors are deplorably
ignorant of sacred literature, the
lecturer advised them to procure a
copy Of the Bible and keep it upon
their desks. This suggestion cannot
be considered as anything but gross
insult to and libel on profession
which has done more for Christianity
than a thousand lecturers like Mr..
Curr.-S. F. Exchange.

bill, although contrary to general ex-
pectatiop, was based upon what
those gentlemen consider good rea-
sons. Mr.. Lamb holds that the
Woodburn bill discriminates 10 favor
of certain classes of consumers, and
that, in this respect, it conflicts with
the Williams INSTRUMENTATION bill
which has already become law; he
also entertains the opinion that the
proposed reduction was too sweep
ing. He will favor a reasonable re-
duction in both fares and freights,
In addition to the two reasons al
ready stated, Mr.. Kennedy says that,
if the Woodburn bill had passed, il
would have injured Dayton, and, con.
sequently, the whole of Lyon county,
very materially, as under it wood
would be carried over the V. g. T. r.

A LADY walking on Fifth ave-
nue.. New York in broad day, had
one of her diamond earrings stolen
from her by well dressed highway
man, Well-dressed highwaymen have
been doing these things 80 long in
the more aristocratic portions OF
New York that it has ceased to be 9
matter of much surprise. 1t Is un-
necessary to say that the police have
not. So far as we have observed,
caught one Of these daylight thieves;
New York policemen are not kept on
hand for any such purpose. 1t Is
rapidly coming to such pass that
when New York lady wants to 60
out for a walk on the avenue with
her purse in her hand or diamonds 10
her ears she will be compelled to
call ON few companies Of militia to
90 along as an escort. Something OF
that kind might strike the we'll
dressed highwayman with terror.
Until some arrangement Of this kind
Is made it may be we'll tor ladies
who must wear diamonds and carry
purses on the tips of their fingers to
come out among the savages on the
frontier; they would be much safer

THE LYONS RAILWAY BILL.

Dan Lyons, of Storey county, ha'
introduced into the Assembly a bill
of which the following is copy:
SECTION 1. No individual, com
pany or corporation, owning or man.
aging railroad the termini of which
are within the State Of Nevada, shall
charge greater or higher rate fol
the transportation of passengers OF
freight between any points, places OF
localities within this State, than six
TO- cents per mile for each passen-
ger over the age of twelve years,
with ordinary baggage, not exceed
ing one hundred pounds in weight,
and for each passenger of the age OF
twelve years or under not exceeding
three (3) cents per mile, and ten (1O)
cents per mile for each ton of freight
of two thousand pounds.
SECTION Q. No individual, COM
pany or corporation, owning or man
aging a railroad the termini of which
are within this State, shall charge,
collect or receive for the transporta-
ton of passengers or freight of any
description, higher rate of toll or
compensation than is charged, col
lected or received for the transporta-
ton in the same direction of any pas
senger or like quantity and class OF
freight over greater distance OF the
same railroad; nor in any way dis
eliminate in the rates upon freight
between any person or corporation
and another person or corporation,
either by special rates or rebatement
or repayment of charges.
SECTION 8. 1t shall be unlawful
for any individual. company or cor
poration, owning or managing any
railroad the termini of which are
within this State, to refuse to receive,
carry and deliver any lawful, proper
or customary freight or passengers at
any station, depot or side-track now
existing or which may hereafter be
established on the line of such rail-
road.
SECTION 4. Any individual, COM
pany or corporation, owning, ope-
rating or managing any railroad the
termini of which are in this State, or
any agent of such individual, COM
pany or corporation, who shall vio-
late or attempt to violate or evade
any of the provisions of this Act,
shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
meanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall pay fine of two thousand
($2,00O) dollars, and in addition
thereto there shall be recovery of
five hundred $500 dollars TO be
paid to the informer.
SECTION 5. All Acts or parts of
Acts in conflict with the provisions
OF this Act are hereby repealed.
It allows the railroads TO charge
more than under the WOODBURY. bill,
and obviates the main objection
against the latter, namely: that of
discriminating in favor of large con-
sumers of wood, coal and iron. 1t
allows the railroads somewhat high
rate for freight, but it is probably as
low as the railway companies will
submit to this session.
