CALIFORNIA DETECTIVES San Fran
cisco press has lsng been in the habit Of puff
ting to the skies the city detectives; yet they
fail to record an instance in which sharp
piece of detective work has been accomplished
The Sacramento Bee has the following sensi
BILE remarks on the subject: " The detectives
have endeavored to take much credit to them
selves through the San Francisco press for
finding the body of the murdered Severance,
which was buried in hisown shed. They have
declined to tell the reporters how they made
the discovery, offering an excuse for their
slen ce, the plea that if the public were made
aware of their cunning the ends of justice
might hereafter be frustrated Now, the sim
pie fact appears to be that the discovery was
made by dog, and not by the detectives !
The Bee stated, on what it considered most
undoubted authority, that q bloodhound,
used by the detectives for the purpose, pointed
out the place, and there, by digging, the body
was found The San Francisco Chronicle I'M
dertakes to deny this, but does not offer any
authority for so doing. Our informant writes
us that if the detectives, either of them, will
make denial of this over their own signatures
he will undertake to prove his allegation. Now
let rs hear from the detectives themselves On
this point, or let the dog have the credit.
Honor to whom honor is DUE"

SHARON'S DOUBLE GAME.

No one for moment believes that William
Sharon has withdrawn from the Senatorial con-
test. He is simply laying low for the present.
The Eureka Sentinel has the following on the
situation.
The Gold Hill Neus states, and we presume
by authority, that Senator Sharon is out of
the fight for Reelection. Trltle is said to be
the coming man on the Republican side. Mr..
Tritle is a very clever gentleman, but he will
not get the place. Say what you may, Sharon
has not in good faith abandoned the contest.
The alleged withdrawal is merely a strategic
move to further the Republican prospects in
the canvass. He knew that his candidacy
would handicap the party, and accordingly
he causes it to be published that he has
stepped down and out. We do not believe a
word of it. On the contrary, we believe that
his money and men and influence will be here
Just the same as though he were an announced
candidate. Hehas eleven out of thirteen ho,d-
over Senators, which is nearly one-third of
the whole number required to succeed himself.
The same money that it will be necessary to
expend to save the railroads, will secure the
balance Under these circumstances who can
doubt that the crafty William will take hand
In the entertainment when all danger from
adverse decision of the people at the polls
shall have passed.
If Sharon remains out of the contest until
after the legislative ticke. is elected there is
not that likelihood of men being sent to the
Legislature who are pledged against Sharon.
Then he will step into the fight and buy up
the necessary votes to saddle himself on the
people Of Nevada for another six years. Let
no one be deceived by this dodge, but let
every county elect Legislative ticket pledged
against Sharon, just as if he were Announcing
himself in the field If he really doesn't ex
pect to run the anti Sharon pledges can
harm no one

APRIL 90. 1850
THEEBAU, THE INHUMAN KING.

King Theebau, of Burmah, who is reported
to have caused 700 men, women and children
to belburned alive as a sacrifice for his restora
ton to health, is but twenty years old. Sc
lected over his elder brothers to rule, he paid
the ministers who had advanced him by I'M
prisoning them, Instead of these advisers OF
his father, he surrounded himself with men,
or boys, of his own age and tastes, and the
palace became the scene of orgies conducted
absolutely without restraint. An article re-
Gently published about hia.says: :" Another
of Theebau's acts, Immediately after his ac
cession, was to secure himself against palace
plots by the simple process of killing all his
relatives. A better idea of what this means
can be gained by considering that the gay old
monarch had fifty three wives and one hun
dred and ten children, of whom thirty seven
wives and fifty mine children survived him. 1t
isimpossible to say how many of these brothers,
sisters, and step mothers-so to speak-sere
killed, but eighty is fair compromise estimate.
1t must not be imagined that they were dis
posed Of with any sentimental tenderness At
first the victims were led from their cells III
twos and threes to sheko to the King; then
their heads were tied to their respective pair
of ankles, and blows with heavy clubs on the
backs of their necks ended bir misery. But
this soon proved too mild spectacle for the
fendish malgnity OF Theehau. One of his
elder brothers professed utter scorn for what
could be done him, and was logged to death.
Another who had looked UPON foreigners
the dirt beneath his feet, and AS utterly un-
worthy to crawl between heaven and earth,
was tainted and driven to madness before re-
ceiving half fatal blow, and his body was
then thrown into the gigantic trench dug to
receive the dead. A former Governor of Ran
COON had his nose and mouth filed with gun
powder, match was applied, and he was also
flung into the trench to be stihed by the sac
ceeding bodies. One young girl of sixteen was
pitched into the same hesving grave after hav
ing suffered every outrage which could be de
vised by eight soldiers Of the guard. The mas
sacre was carried on in this leisurely fashion
NATL Theebau and the executioners wearied of
the sport; then the women were simply bat
tered over the head, and the children were
swung against the palace walls At last the
victims were all killed, and the revolving spec
tacle was over, but Theebaus plan-one not
unusual in Burmah-was not successful, for
the reason that at least three of his blood es-
capped, and one of them will probably succeed
him. The area of Burmah "a country in the
southeast of Asia, between India and China,
and south of Thbet) is 1921 900 square miles,
and its population is 100000. The revenue
Of the King is e8OO,OOO with perquisites
enough to make out the even million"

AN OUTSIDE OPINION press Of the
State are beginning to fall into line with the
APPEAL in its laudable efforts to wash out of
sight that disgusting ink stain on the face of
Nevada journalism, known as the Carson Trib-
une. For while very little was said about
the matter as the rural press had always been
taught to imagine that Parkinson could at any
moment call down streak of lightning from
the Heavens and destroy any newspaper office
that neglected to do it reverence. During the
course of the APPEAL have come in thick and
fast. We shall reprint them from time to
time as variation from the "Good words
from our journalist friends " which the Trib-
uus ran for so long a time. The Elks I,.de-
pendent says:
The Carson APPEAL claims that the Tribune
has been diligently at work for six years in eff
forts to drag the former into fight, and hav
ing at last been drawn into the lists, now
avows determination to continue hostilities
for an equal length of time. In Saturday s
issue the Good Deacon is vigorously stirred up
with an exceedingly sharp stick, but the stall
wart humping from the same source the
day previous appears to have knocked all the
wind out of the old man, for contrary to all
expectation he utterly failed to kick back. At
ter wiring its brow and recovering its breath,
the APPEAL leans back upon it's pick handle and
announces that in future it will protect the
citizens of Carson against the libels and abuse
of the Tribune 1t Appeals at this distance as
though the Good Deacon, in his industrious
efforts to cap up fight, has at last succeeded
in catching genuine Tartar.

The Stock OUTLooK.-The stock situation
is now assuming a rather gloomy aspect, and
every ray of hope that comes in through ever
so small chink in the wall is welcome. The
San Francisco Post of Tuesday had the fol-
lowing:
The actions of the market implied that no
contidence-inspiring change had occurred in
the mines of the great lode during the interim.
Judging from the tendency of prices our friends
east of the mountains are in selling mood. If
such is the case it is to be regretted, for it is
the disposition of people in this community to
withhold their stocks from the market Prices
have fallen SO low that they have determined
to stand and "see the thing out, unless an
extraordinary shrinking takes place.
The Enterprise of yesterday adds.
1t is all the same here. Our people are all
standing irm-so firm that most of them ap-
pear to be frozen in the places where they
stand. As for the "shrinkage," we hardly
know what that which is at the present mo
ment squeezing the life ont of most dealers
and dabblers deserves to be called 1t GER
