The sins Of omission and commission
placed to the account OF the recent
Legislature are many. and popular opin-
ion Is, a. usual. divided a. to whether
this really was the biggest lot Of noodles
or knaves ever sent to Carson or not.
But their record. Be Il good. bad or indif-
ferent, 10 made and cannot now be
changed ; Il must 60 for what II is worth.
Among the good deeds they accom-
plished, however. the Eureka Leader
sums up the following:
When the retrsnchment laws passed at
this session 20 into full force and effect, the
current expenses Of the State government
will be cut down at least s50,O0s per an
mum. In doing this the Legislature applied
the pruning knife TO their own expenses
A we'll % TO other departments Of the
STATE government. BY the new appor-
tionment Hill the number Of Legislators
was cut down from seventy-6vs to sixty.
| The next Legislature will DO composed Of
twenty Senators and forty A~ssemblymen.
| This will be . saving Of at least SIS. 900 .
session. The number and pay Of attaches
Of the Legislature have been materially
| reduced. which will save In the neighbor-
hood Of $40, 900 per session moro. An
| excellent insurance code has been passed,
| which il designed to and undoubtedly will
| give more security to the insured, and will
| bring In . good revenue to the State. In
| the very nature OF things 10 was absolutely
| nscessary 10 raise the rate OF taxation
somewhat. but by using the full borrow.
ing power ef the State. the rate was kept
| within reasonable limits for the next two
years at least. II was placed at ninety
cents, an advance OF t~hirty.Hve cents.
| Fortunately for the State her educational
funds we're in . healthy condition. and she
| could borrow from them at . rate OF inter-
| est. which was mutually beneficial to her
and 10 those funds. Under the Constitu-
| ton the surplus In the educational funds
must be invested either In United States
or Nevada State bonds. United States
four per cent. bonds command from ten to
twelve per cent. premium. In other
words, the State has to throw Oh about
three years. interest In tho shape Of pre-
miums. In borrowing from them the
State gives them her bonds at par. and
pays four per cent. per annum interest,
the same as the general government. Ten
years age Nevada was paying on . loan for
State purposes Of 5000 fifteen per

Arizona Insane.

The Tenth Legislative Assem- bly, appropriated a large sum of money, and we see the Eleventh Legislative Assembly doing the same, to pay Commissioner to visit and report upon the insane from Arizona, at Doctor Clark 8 Ayslum in Stockton, California. We will ask who the Commission CT was during the last two years, and where is his report? We do know of two citizens of Prescott who unoffi cially and unpaid visit ed the unfortunate beings from our Territory, who are within the halls of Doctor Clark's Asylum. One of these citizens is Hon. T. J Buller,and the other c. ". Beach ooth Of whom wrote up the con-. dition, etc, in which they found the insane. Two hundred and fifty dollars is sufficient to appro- priate for this purpose. as we know of twenty men who would like to have the job at that figure. Look into this matter, gentlemen of the Council.

The Quality Of Human Flesh.

The cover of Miss Gordon Cummings
book, Eat Home in Fiji" is decorated
with representation of n "cannibal
fork" such as was exclusively used for
eating human flesh. Some of these
forks belonging TO the chiefs were
eighteen inches long, of dark polished
wood, with handles richly carved. The
ovens still exist in which the cannibal
cookery was carried on; and many de-
tails of the process, and the particular
kind Of vegetables eaten with such food
are given, One chief gave the author
ess his opinion on the relative merits of
pork and human flesh, expressing his
preference for the latter, and declaring
there's no comparison between them"
The embracing Of the missionaries re-
ligion, which neccssitated the relin-
quishment of such delcacy, becomes
all the more meritorious on the part of
me fijians, who had to lao satisfied with
inferior meat.

The Man With n Racket

He was probably from Deadwood, or
Custer City, or the Gunnison Valley. or
from some of the other places where
they wear one shirt for three months
and have no other wish except to die
with their boots on, no matter how
many square feet Of cowhide there is in
them. There was only one other man
In the saloon when he entered and in
quired for five fingers Of straight pizen.
This solitary man sat with a leg on
either side OF a chair his chin resting
on the back OF it. His eyes were half
closed, his tongue hanging out a bit,
and his mind was ut rest. The new ar
rival swallowed his liquid, wiped off
his chin on his coat-tail, and suddenly
came down in front OF the sleeping man
with
"rm from the head waters of Grizzly

"Ye-e-s," drawled the man on the
chair as he drew in his tongue and
opened the other eye.

MS he leapod high III air and clicked his
teeth together. "The man who tackles
me is pulp in Just two seconds! Don't

w, stretched his arms, aud lifted him
self up with the motion of an elephant.
"Whoop! vaughn yelled the other.

make oath I've wiped out forty-seven
white men and over hundred InjunsW
The other slowly removed his old hat
and flung it on the floor. Then he
pushed up his sleeves and frightened his
belt and gave himself shake.
"W-what's the matter, old manP"
earnestly inquired the man from Dead
wood.
The other poked his hair until it
stood up like wires, got clear of the
chair. and began to tumble under his
coat-tails.
