Railroad Titles.

the old L. L. & G. r. r. Co. by w. J.

parties that had purchased from the

fled that the railroad company pro-
pose to defend all titles given by them,

action in the matter. In our judge

We will say further that we have

not interested in the result, and he as
sures us that his brother has written
him that he never intended to harm a

these lands, but has only expected aud
desired the railroad company make
the fight and back up their warranty
deeds. That this levy was the only
way to bring it about.
We know that Mr.. Richards intends
to stand in the breach between the
settlers and harm, and confidently re-

the men who have bought these lands
in good faith, and put their hard earn

Hence we say again, that in our
judgment no one need feel q particle

the railroad company and Mr.. Rich

The Paris Electrical Exhibition.

In the lovely vale of Chamouny, last
summer, l witnessed a most sublime
display of zigzag lightnings around the
snow clad peaks of Mt. Blanc. At the
electrical exhibition in Paris i saw this
same terrible force of Nature in mani
told and beautiful subsection to the
wants of humanity. The enthusiastic
French, charmed by the excellencies of
electricity. have made her Empress in
Republican Paris. However poetical or
tairy-like the prophecies Of hopeful in
Ventors may have seemed, all they have
promised concerning electricity, and
more, will he realized in the immediate
future. Already electricity carries voice
and thought around the globe, warns
US of coming fires, insures safe railway
travel, lights our homes and streets and
blows up our enemy's ships. AS the
result of patient years of toll in labora-
tories throughout the civilized world,
these inventions and discoveries, gath
cred together in focus, will enable
scientists and inventors to Judge how
far the new science has been carried
which seems likely to revolutionize the
world.

stands tall lighthouse, provided with
revolving electric light, Fresnefs

orange glasses, which shed everywhere
professional patches of colored light.
At the base of the lighthouse is an arti-
fetal pond, surrounded by turf and
flowers, in which M. Trouve gayly rides
in his electric boat. Its screw is driven
by a small electro motor.

Trout Frozen in a Block of Ice.

Al the Office of the Virginia City and
Gold Hill Water Company, yesterday
afternoon. was on exhibition block of
ice in which were frozen several trout.
The ice was frozen by the company's
ice machine on the Divide. The trout
were almost as plainly visible as though
they had been suspended in air. They
were in natural attitudes. and appeared
to have CONCEALED without knowing that
anything was happening to them. AS
all their spots and colors were distinctly
visible, and they stood immovable with
tails and fins expanded, they would
have formed a splendid study for an
artist. Indeed, we think that there is
q hint that painters of such subjects
should not neglect. Bets were made
that they would thaw out " alive and
kicking" and the block of ice was ac-
cordingly placed in tank and allowed
to melt, but at last accounts the trout
were lying on the bottom apparently
quite dead. Artificial freezing was ey.
identity too quick and sharp for them
