The Philadelphia Press says: Nevada is a
list. Its tax rate is much higher than that
of any other State and three times that of
Pennsylvania, and even then the levy for
1880 failed to yield sufficient for the re-
qurements of the State The State debt
bears % per cent. interest; the State Gov
ernment is an expensive and unnecessary
burden; the population is stationary; the
mines are exhausted and other resources the
State has none. The expectations which Sc
cured the premature admission of Nevada
as State have not been realized and never
will be.

Pat took the bottle, raised it to

it's contents, and then, after making
the appropriate face over it, said in
very confidential tone.
"Will you please to set this to

There are pietun in real lie frequently
brought to the notice of the newsSssherer
which, when published, would impress ,b'
average reader with the belief lhethst reporter
is of "a romantic turn of mind or that he hsd
colored his story with the glowing sin's o.
fiction.
A case in point occurred Monday nigh! al
the central police station.
The shrieks of two women as they were
brought through the streets 10 the jail
aroused the sympsthies of the public, par
iiculsrly as there nestled in the arms of each
babe, the Oldest no, eighteen months old.
When they reached the sta'ion one of the
women gave her nsme rs Mrs. Mary White
and tho other as Mrs. @. O'Brien.
The little haXen- haired thing, although
not moro than year old, seemed to appre-
ciste the fsct that II was being separated
from its mother, and with its tiny arms out
stretched, tried to force itself through an
opsning in the railing to get to its mother.
Then when the mother was finally placed
in one of the cells The baby would listen, and
upon the recognition of its mothers voise
would give vent to its feelings by pitiful
wall and stretch forth its arms az if begging
to be taken to her. The child was finally
nursed to sleep by the turnkey, and then
placed 10 rest on blanket in the office.
Yesterday, when the two women were
brought before the recorder, Mary White
was examined. and upon being found TO be
insane from the excessive use of liquor, was
sent to the insane asylum.
In order TO prevent scene in court shs
was allowed 10 take her child TO the insane
asylum, but 1t will be taken away from hel
OF some favorable occasion, while she Il
asleep, and will be sent TO the asylum, &C.
cording to the direction of the mayor.
When Catherine o Brien came TO the bar
for sentence she had her two chillron with
her, and as she was declared to DO an habit
ual drunkard she was sent TO the workhouse
As Mayor Shakespeare had given on order
for her two children to be tent TO the asy-
lum, when the maria came to take the
mother 70 her place Of punishment il
bacsme necessary to take the children from
her.
She saw the officers advancing toward hel
and she knew il must separate her from her
children, and she showed by the expression
of her face tina, she meant to fight for them
to the last. She screamed and fought
and tho little ones chung to her
with sort of wild despair that was heart.
rending to behold. She was finally con.
quered, and with set look of the eyes enc
watched her babes leave her until the door
shut them from her view, and with piercing
shrek she fell to the floor insensble.
Deputy Coroner DR.. Dabney WAS immedi'
ately called 20 attend her, and finally sue.
ceeded in restoring her 10 consciousness, and
abe was then sent to prison.
These two women, and particularly the
woman White, show plainly that they have
seen better days, but their love for liquor
has finally brought one TO the mad house
and the other to the public prison, and theil
children TO an asylum.
