ALL of the London papers, The
Times alone excepted, have fallen into
the habit of using editorial paragraphs
in addition to the regulation column
and half editorials, and the improve.
ment is greatly appreciated by the
readers of these journals. Writing
from London, Jennings says: ':Some
day the short paragraph. all point and
no padding, will be put, as it is with
you, at the head of the editorials
instead of at the tail, and then it will
be no longer binding upon a contrib.
utor to hammer out an inch or two Of
common sense into yard and half
oftwaddle. For weekly papers, which
people take up to read quietly at their
leisure, the old fashioned essay will
still be suitable enough, Those who
like it will always know where to find
it, Already it is to these paragraphs
that most readers turn first, although
in some quarters they are denounced
as another institution borrowed from
America"

his third Wife in Louisiana, which
was contested in his wife's behalf in

idea to pass 4 bill establishing museum I2r
the cannon left on Ibis coast by General
Fremont. Taesc valuable historic relics are
now scattered all over New ada and IN some
parts Of California. Fremont vas like Napo-
leon-ile had a decided weakness tor artillery,
and, in his famous expedition over the plains,
NUT have brought along Il couple of thou
sand cannon-about two TO each man. \
soldier who could carry a TWO thousand
pound cannon across the plains, comes of
good, sturdy stock, such as was emnenty
tit to discover and deve,ope. this glorious
country. IF these field pieces were all gath
cred i'll ono place, they would form available
and Interesting collection. Captain Pray, of
Glenbrook, has two, there ara two in Virginia
City, hePby the Pioneers, and several are in
the possession OF both the Sacramento aai
San Francisco Pioneers. Nearly every town
in Nevada has couple. Fremont only had
three guns when he started, but probably
manufactured more along the route.

NEVADA'S INSANE.

Since Pownine's Asylum Bill has been
killed, the most feasible plan now before the
State is tho proposition TO erect an Asylum at
Carson. Although the Reno Bill was de-
feated it is but justice to say that it was not
fairly beaten on its merits. LangdOn &
Clark lobbyists did the work. and the sack
must have played leading part in The mat
ter. IF half tie stories regarding 1t are TO be
believed, Langdon & Clark will doubtless de-
feat any measure which tends toward the
immediate erection of an Asylum in Nevada.
There must now he a strong fight made on

pie did not. on The fiual passage Of the bill,
