THE government seems to be running
itself. AT present not only the president,
but every member of the cabinet is out OF
Washington, as are also the first assistant
secretaries of both the state and post
office departments, the commissioner of in

z. RUSSELL, member of the Ute com
mission, has arrived in Washington with
ratification papers signed by 81 Ute In
dams. The amount due the Utes is $751;
600. Arrangements have been made for
the payment Of this sum in accordance
with the terms of the bill. Russell ex.
pressed an opinion that the work of select
ing new lands, surveying them and making
attachments in severality, the work which
must necessarily be accomplished before
the Indians can be removed, will probably
not be commenced owing to the lateness OF
the season until next spring, and for this
reason he thinks the removal of the Utes
cannot be effected until next year.
COMMISSIONER WILLIAMSON, of the gen.
eral land office, on the LIST inst, made re-
port to the secretary of the interior, on
the celebrated Chaupin land claim case.
The claim embodies about ], 400 acres OF
land in the suburbs of St. Louis, Mo-, and
has been pending before the department
for so years. Commissioner Williamson's
action does not finally dispose of the case,
as it now goes to the secretary of the inte-
rior. The commissioner reports in favor
of the survey made in 1859, known as
Solomon's survey. But while entertaining
the opinion that the Chaupin grant is
properly located by that Solomon
survey, he does not approve it because he
finds barrier to that course in an adverse
opinion Of former secretary of the in
terror, relative to another survey Of the
same land

/, number Of horses in Paris in 1876.
The following results were obtained: /.
It was proved beyond all doubt that a
horse can hold out for twenty days
without any solid nourishment: pro-
vided it is supplied with sufficient and
good drinking water 2. A horse can
barely hold out for five days without
water. 3. If horse is we'll fed for
ten days, but insufficiently provided
with water during the same period, it
will not outlive the eleventh day. One
horse, from which water had been en-
tirely withheld for three days, drank on
the fourth day sixty litres of water
within three minutes. A horse which
received no solid nourishment fol-
twelve days was, nevertheless, in a con:
dition on the twelfth day to draw a
load of 279 kilos.

men were naturally largely represented
by their wares at the Sydney Exhibit
ton. The arrangements we're conduct
ed for them by firm of agents, who
have lately informed several Of their
clients that gold medals had been
awarded them as prizes. The result
was that allthe hoardings through Eng
land had been emblazoned for weeks
with "gold medals" won by everybody
for all sorts Of things. The right of
several to claim such distinctions being
at last disputed, it turns out that the
words written "good medals" by the
original telegram We're turned into
gold medals" by mistake before they
reached London.

chargers, and would facilitate ParnelPs

A CARSON CITY MAN EXPLAINS WHY H

A CARSON CRY MAN EXPLAINS WHY HE
STOLE A TOMBSTONE. William Boggs was
arraigned before Justice Cary, OF Carson,
recently, charged with grand larceny. The
charge made by the arresting officer was
that a tombstone had been stolen by the
defendant from the cemetery. 1t appears,
says the appeal, that the officer was passing
near the cOnsecrated spot at night, when
he saw Boggs staggering along with
a tombstone on his back.
The tombstone was exhibited to the jury.
1t read
Sacred to the memory of W. Boggstone,
Died jan, 3, 1856. A kind father, an in
dulgent husband, and = true man. Re
Quiesedt IN pace
Boggs, the defendant, went on the stand,
and acknowledged frankly that he had
taken the tombstone. 1t was SO near
like his own name that, by filling up the
super1uous letters with plaster Of Paris, he
could use it himself in case be died.
The Court-You have the appearance of
being a pretty healthy man. Why do you
expect to die?
Boggs-Im going to Bedie to start in
business and
The Court-Oh, [ see: the pneumonia,
you will, why do you steel another mans

correct thing?
Boggs-If a man has had the use of a
tombstone since 1856, it strikes me he's
got his moneys worth. Besides, this stone
was a blasted lie all over. Bill Boggstone
wasn't a kind husband and an indulgent
father. He was a theiving three-card
monte sharp, and had killed four men. A
meaner scalawag never was born. When
he first cane out here in 40, he used to
shave of the corners of $50 slugs, and pay
of bis hands in old bills on the Farmers
Bank Of New Haven.
"We know him. cried several OF the ju-
ry: he was the worst in the deck
One Of the jurors went on the stand, aud
testified that he saw the man run out of
Placerville in 90 for robbing hen roosts.
He turned a widow out in a snow STERN be-
cause she couldn't pay the house rent.
Several old timers in the courtroom testi-
fed to the scampish character ef the de-
ceased. One man swore that the brother Of
Boggstone put the tombstone up, and did
it in the night. 1t was IA monumental lie
and a disgrace to the cemetery.
The jury acquitted, and Mr.. BoggstOne
left on the stage for Bod with the tomb
stone.
