characterize the closing hours of Congress were
acted in both houses. The Senate was engaged all
the preceding night on Misrepresentation bills, and
just before daylight an extraordinary debate
Cured over the political amendments to the Legis
ladve bill, which was participated in by Messrs
Hoar, Blaine, Matthews and others on the Repubi-
can side, and Thurman, Beck and others on the
Democratic side. The debate was of high
order, and full of fire on both sides. The
bill, however, together with the Army
Appropriation BILL failed to pass, the Senate re-
naming firm In its determination not to concur in
the amendment abolishing the Federal Election
laws, and the House with equal stubbornness re-
fusine to recede Agreements were reached by the
joint conference committees on the other pending
Appropriation bills and they promptly passed.

The o Mines.

At the flooded mines, says the Enterprise,
they say they have orders from below to
start the pumps on the hot water as soon as
the required connections have been made.
This will bring things to a focus in that
quarter. The winze which connects the
east end of the lightning drift with the
large water tank in the Dequa shaft was
completed yesterday. The large iron pipe
through which the water is to be conveyed
from the mines to the tank in the shaft is
all distributed along the drift, ready to be
put together. When the pipe has been put
together the pumping will begin. Su,ro
will then bring to bear his injunction and
the war will begin. If restrained from
pumping through the tunnel the pump
column in the Requa shaft will probably be
extended to the surface, when the mines
will be pumped out and the hole through
the west clay on the 2200 level Of the
Savage bulkheaded. This done the water
coming in from other places will give no
trouble.

The Nevadans, says the Sacramento Bee,
are considering the propriety Of enacting a
no fence law for certain counties and dis
tricts Of that State. A law OF that charac-
ter will be the greatest possible encourage
ment to the farming interests Of Nevada.
In a dry, sandy soil, where dykes and
fences cannot be made, and in a timber
less country the cost Of fencing is SO enor-
nous that but few can afford IL. But even
if the facts were different, why should the
farmer be compelled to fence against the
stock ~raiser's cattlep Tn farmers wheat
or potatoes will not run out Of the field to
eat the stock ~raiser's cattle, and why
should the stock ~raiser's cattle be allowed
to travel into the farmers field to destroy
his barley? Let every man be forced to
keep his W property upon his own prem
Uses. The man who has cattle, or sheep,
or horses, or hogs, and cannot keep them
or his own land, had better sell them to
somebody better prepared to follow that
business. A stock-raIsing country, where
the animals are permitted to roam at large,
as was their wont in California, and is now
the custom in Nevada, is always a poor
country. and must SO remain while the
pernicious system lasts.

Railroad Extension.

The Gold Hill Tews says that prepare
tons for an extension or branch Of the yir-
ginia and Truckee Railroad from Carson
away to the southwark toward Bodie are in
an advanced state. The rails, ties, grad
ing, masonry, etc., are already contracted
for, or being definitely arranged, and with
the coming Spring the work will be active
ly inaugurated and prosecuted at a very
lively rate. This will open up a vast ex-
tent of rich and promising mining country,
to say nothing Of an agricultural section,
one Of the best and most extensive in the
State. Large wood and timber
will also be developed and made available
by this road, and many other material ad-
vantages to the State will become apparent
when the road is completed. One thing is
apparent to everybody residing or inter-
ested in that section, and that is, that the
railroad will be of very important advan-
tage to them and their interests, and will
be the means Of opening up. developing
and naturally benefiting and advancing the
of a very interesting portion of
our State.

. Bill to Pay Certain Claims
Against Our Road Fund.

We give below a copy Of a bill intro
duced by Mr.. Cassidy to place our Road
Fund even with the world. The flood Of
last fall, rendering necessary the construc-
ton OF new bridges across the big ditch,
threw the Road Fund considerably in
arrears. 1t is perhaps as well to pay the
lumber and other bills at this time as to
compel people who came to the rescue to
wait another year for their money. Follow
ing is the bill on the subject:
An Act to enable the Commissioners of
Eureka county to liquidate certain in
debtedness against the Road Fund Of
Eureka Road District No. 1.
The people Of the State Of Nevada repre-
sented in the Senate and Assembly do en-
act as follows:
Section 1. The Commissioners OF Eureka
county are hereby authorized and empow-
cred to transfer from the General and Cur
rent Expense Funds Of said county to the
Road Fund of Eureka Road District No. 1,
a sufficient sum, not exceeding 81 600, to
l%iquidate all just and legal claims against
said District Road Fund up to and inclu-
siye of the date OF the approval Of this Act.

Zee and Sidewalks.

In the present condition of our streets it
is astonishing that more accidents of a seri-
GUS nature do not occur. They are, as q
general thing, particularly after night-fall,
a glare Of ice, and were this not enough to
catch the unwary pedestrian out, holes
abound sufficient to catch him IN. Truly
our sidewalks are disgraceful to a town Of
its size and Importance. We do not propose
to write an article in favor of in
corporation, but if we did. we could
not find a better subject. Some provision
ought to be made to improve u side
walks. They are a crying evil. and call
aloud for improvement. Some philanthropy
lists sprinkle ashes in front Of their doors,
an act that every passer-by approves and
inwardly, if not outwardly, blesses but
others-and they by far the greater num-
ber--let the ice remain, and act on the
principle of sall baggage at owners risk"
Ashes tend to melt the snow and ice, and
better by far prevent slipping. Let this
custom be followed and accidents will be
fewer,

ONE MORE.
That is, Dur Census Is Increased
that Amount.

There are two things in this mundane
sphere that seems to turn the head of any
ordinary mortal. The first is q pair Of
bright eyes or rosy cheeks, that always up
sets a young man in his teens ; and the
second is q mans, or q woman's, first baby.
We never could imagine what in Satan's
name any one ever saw to admire in a red
faced, shapclsss mass of humanity, whose
only qualification is that they can yell like
the devil, and we once gained the ever
lasting enmity Of a fond mother who held
up her first offspring, with a request for q
kiss, by saying that we would do SO, pro-
viding she would wash its dirty face. Yes
terday W went into the Office OF the County
Clerk, on our usual daily tour, and pro-
pounded our ~stereotyped phrase Of, "Any-
thing new 2" to Deputy Clerk Bell. We
were Immediately seized by the coat collar,
hauled within the railing, while the
worthy Deputy informed us, in tremu-
lous tones, that "it was all right" Our
first impression was that jim Smith, our
Pub. Ad., and newly-fledged Notary, who
was present at the time, had "set 'em M,
on the strength Of his appointment, but
Jim looked as solemn as two owls, and We
local turned helplessly to Judge Rives but
that ubiquitous individual was lost in the
intricacies Of q law case. She has just
arrived" gasped Ed, shaking our hands
furiously ; 'how old do you suppose she
ISL" about sixteen" we replied, in
nocently. Sixteen devils? p" yelled the
Deputy "why she's only arrived this
morning!" Come by stage?" we pro-
pounded, in the innocence of our heart.
''Come by stage !" repeated Bell, in dis
gust, you're a pretty id specimen, you
are why, no, she came by the overland
route" From San Francisco :" we
asked int%errogativcly. Bell whacked us
over the bead with a book Of record, and
when we fully recovered our senses on the
sidewalk, Lambert Molinelli told us sooth-
ingly that a daughter had been born to the
house Of Bell, at 5 o'clock yesterday norm
ing. We departed a sadder and wiser man.
and determined that never again would we
trust to appearances. The idea that our
young and handsome Deputy was married
never entered our head, and ON this ac-
count we are willing to forgive him, and
hope he may be afflicted yearly with the
same kind Of arrivals.
