"A Successful Applicant

Yesterday James d. Torreyson under
went an examination before the Su-
preme Court, as an applicant for prac-
tice at the bar. The examination was
in open Court, attorneys Clark, Davies
and Coffin conducting the same. 1t
lasted from 10 O'Clock until after IL,
and was most thorough, embracing
questions of law in every phase. Mr..
Torreyson was not at all embarrassed by
the questions propounded, but proved
to the entire satisfaction of the Court
and attorneys that he had been dill
gent student and was on intimate
terms with Blackstone and other great
expounders of the law. At the conclu-
sio Of the examination Chief Justice
Leonard highly complimented the ap-
plicant for the creditaole showing he
had made. Mr.. Torreyson's legal tutor
has been General R. M. Clarke, in
whose office he has had the advantage
of study. He is Carson raised boy,
being the son of our old and respected
fellow citizen, Mr.. w. d. Torreyson.
Along with the numerous friends of
himself and family We also extend cur
congratulations,an and hope that the future
for him may be as brilliant as his exam
ination.

An EXCITING CHASE.

The Capture Of Convict Henry JoinscI
by w. -. McLefsh and +. II. Meiburn.
The Reno Gazette gives the following
in regard to the capture of Henry John
son, who escaped from the State Prison
on Monday morning:
The Gazette last evening told of the
escape of a colored convict named
Henry johnson from the State Prison.
The prison authorities sent the Gazette,
| Sheriff Walker and Constable Avery
notice of Johnson's flight early yester-
day, knowing that johnson was travel
ing in the direction of Reno and that
he would more than likely come here
1t seems Johnson left the prison about
six O'Clock yesterday morning and
pulled right out for this city, travelling
on the east side Of WashOe Lake, COM
ing down Steamboat canyon and thence
direct to Reno. He arrived in town
shortly after dark, intending to jump
breakbeam on 4 cattle train that leaves
here Immediately after the departure
of the San Francisco express. johnson
stood between the trains standing on
the side track just above the depot,
waiting his chance, when Pechner's
little boy happened along and was
hailed by Johnson, who gave him fifty
cents and requested that he get him
some crackers and cheese with the
money. The boy granted the request,
after which he hunted up Constable
Avery and told him where he had left
johnson. Constable Avery, Deputy
Warden Garrard and a Gazette reporter
started on the hunt, but johnson had
changed his base. John Hoy was sent
to Wadsworth on No. : ana Constable
Avery and Deputy Warden Garrard
were going to Verdi on the cattle train
But before the train started johnson
was taken in by w. S. McLeish and F.
Milburn. McLeish had read the ac-
count of Johnson's escape in the
Gazette and made up his mind to earn
the reward. The two stationed them
selves in Bragg & Co.'S lumber yard,
when about $50 they saw man come
out from the rear of the Continental Oil
Depot, and McLeish ordered him to
halt, but instead of obeying the com
mand he started to run in the direction
of H. w. Higgins house On Rafston
street, when McLeisn opened fire, fol-
lowed him round the corner and into 4
vacant lot in the rear Of Higgins house,
keeping up steady fire. Aelburn,
hearing the shots, started across the |
street and took a shot at the "nis"
when he fell, and was taken to |
the County Jail. None of the shots
took effect. Johnson broke into a cabin
near the V. & T. round house and took !
a pair of pantaloons, bunch of keys
and 1915 in money and shed his stripes. |
When arrested he had on his prison !
shirt. Deputy Sheriff Gray took him
out this morning and hunted up the |
prison breeches that he had dropped.

"St0newaiI" Jackson.

No Southern commander who ever
fought in the Civil War was SO warmly
admired by Northern soldiers as "Stone-
wall" jackson. He seemed even to them
as one OF the knights of romance, with
out fear and without reproach. The
following sketch, furnished by Virgin
ian, illustrates some of his peculiarities:
at was my privilege to know Stone
WALL Jackson twenty-eight years ago,
whea he was n professor at the Virginia
Military Institute. AT that time none
Of the students thought that our country
would ever be deluged in blood, or that
our quiet, eccentric professor would be
called upon to lay down his life in a
Lost Cause.
''The cadets loved and honored him,
though they often laughed at his peculi-
arities. He was firm believer in the
efficacy of hydropathy, and amusing
stories were told of his going to bed
wrapped in wet sheets and swathed in
blankets TO relieve himself of severe
cold.
81 was at the reception given for Prof
Jackson when he married his first wife,
the lovely Ellie Junkin, then known as
the author of several charming stories.
She was fair as lily. Clothed in her
bridal robes, her graceful bearing and
bright, intellectual face contrasted very
strongly with her tall, dark, reticent
husband.
"He was the most reserved and stately
looking of men. But his bride had
found beneath the cold exterior, anoble,
loving heart His married life was short,
and filled with happy hours.
"On her return from. her bridal trip
she told an amusing anecdote of her hus-
bands ignorance Of the materials worn
by ladies'. She lost her veil. AS the
day was warm and dusty she wished to
purchase another. The professor pro.
posed to get it for her, ahd was told tc
ask for yard of green berege.
"He left the stage at the first store
they passed, and brought back, much
to her amusement and his. when he nm
derstood his mistake, a yard of green

Peculiar Arctic Vegetation.
lSan Francisco BuIlctin.l

A striking result of the shaking up
and airing and draining of the tundra
soil is seen on the face of the ice slopes
and terraces. When the undermined
tundra materials rolls down upon those
portions of the ice front where it can
come to rest, it is well buffetted and
shaken, and frequently lies upside down
as if turned with pillow. Here it is well
drained, though resting on melting ice,
and though not more than q foot or two
in thickness, it produces a remarkably
close and tall growth OF grass, four to
six feet high, and as lush and broad
leaved as may be found in any farmers
field. Gut for hay it would make about
four or five tons per acre. Only few
other plants that would be called weeds
are found growing among the grass,
mostly senicio and artemesia, both tall
and exuberant, showing the effects of
this strange system of cultivation of this
strange soil The vegetation on the top
of the bluff is the most beautiful that L
have yet seen; not rank ana cultivated
looking, like that ON the face slopes, but
showing the finest and most delicate
beauty of wildness, in forms, combina-
lions and colors of leaf, stalk and fruit.
There were red and yellow dwarf birch,
and arbutus, ana willow, and purple
huckleberry, with lovely grays of sedges
and lichens. The neutral tints of the
lichens are intensely beautiful; not a
square yard but would make charming
picture, and not particle of dust on it,
30 pure and fresh is 1T. Red cranberries
with shaded sides like apples, put on in
clusters at the end of shiny, glossy
rprayp; huckleberries, with delicate blue
bloom on their checks; black cranbelries
and arbutus berries; ptarmigan in large
hocks, the young nearly full-grown,
wandering over the fruitful wilderness
and revelmg in abundance. found the
shore bluff toward the mouth of the
Buokland river, about forty to sixty feet
high, with regular slope of about thirty
degrees, and covered with willows and
alders, some of them five or six feet
high, and long grass, and patches of ice
here and there, but showing no large
masses. The soil is a fine blue clay at
bottom, with water-worn quartz, pebbles
and sand above it, like that at the oppo-
site side of the estuary, and evidently
brought down by the river floods when
the ice of the glaciers that occupied thi.
river basin and that of the Ku-uk was
melting.

The very best remedy ever invented for the
cure of general ill-health, especially dyspepsia,
bad blood, nervousness, universal lassitude.
weak kidneys, liver troubles, etc, is DIR. Guy
sott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. 1t will
not harm the most delicate invalid. Its use
wonderfully revves the mental faculties, in
oreases the power of physical endurance, and
makes the blood rich, red and pure, enabling
it to counteract the effect OF exhaustive and
facilitating diseases In localities where this
remedy is best known, druggists find it difficult
TO supply tho demand. 1t contains Yellow
Dock, Sarsaparilla, Juniper, Iron, Buchu, Cele-
ry, Calisaya, ETC. Every physician knows the
merit Of such ingredients.

Too Sec Well We Must Live Well.

Every event, no matter how trivial, Is
pointing to the absolute freedom OF man.
How can it be otherwise? Man is the
bIossomed thought. passing rapidly into
the matured fruit of matter; every day
and hour, every revolution of the earth
on its axis contributes their ripening in
fuences to him. Already he is learning
his own powers, and from them the
powers of others. He is finding his own
eqnipose, and establishing from this
point the equipose of the universe.
Archimedes said that if he had fulcrlm
on which to rest his lever, he could lift
the world. The man who finds himself
has found this fulcrum.
Is it not singular fact that in proper
ton as man finds himself he finds 9TH
ers? The more he sees of his own rights
the more he sees of his neighbors'
rights. The more he expands in upward
growth, the larger all men look to him.
Beauty is in the eyes of the possessor, Z"
it is said. 1t is by the sense of beauty
that the presence of beauty can be re.
cognized. The same may be said of
goodness and virtue, OF greatness IN
every form, and alas, IN every form of
vileness also. The loving thought seeks
it's counterpart when sent to the breast
Of another person, and will bring back
nothing else; 1t can find absolutely moth
ing but its own reflection. And SO of
the unloving, the base thought; it, too,
sees nothing but that which IS allied to
its own character. 70 see the best there
is in men we must live the best there is In
ourselves.

It happened when NJ - was Pre-
feot Of Police. One morning a man,
pale, haggard, painting for breath, over
whelmed with emotion, forced his way
into the office OF the great parsonage
who presides ct No. z Boulevard du
Palais.
"Monsieur le Prefect," he gasped,
" have just received letter. My soul
is in despair My wife has written me
that shall never see her more. Why,
she explains not, yet to me all is plain |;
at this moment my darling spouse, my
hearts treasure, has ceased to exist.
She must have committed suicide"
"Are you quite sure about that?"
asked the Project, with skeptical smile
playing around the corners of his mouth.
1t was the faintest possible OF smiles,
one OF those smiles peculiar to Magis-
trates who have learned from experience
to believe nothing OF what they hear,
and not great deal of what they see |;
but, faint as 1t was, it exasperated his
visitor, who forthwith exploded Us only

ready to stake his life on his helpmate's
fidelity. The Project sat quietly until
the storm had passed, and then calmly,
Every well, SO be it; your wife is dead.
What do you want me to do?"
"Why, l want You to give orders at
once to dredge the Seine for the body of
her who has always been the tender,
loving companion of my hearth and
home"
The Project again smiled, and then,
after an instaDt's search through pile
of papers lying on his desk, picked up a
telegram, glanced over it rapidly, and
with the remark, "That's the one," pro-
ceeded to assure NJ. X, that the dredg-
ing of the Seine was quite unnecessary.
as Mme X, very much alive, and APP
parently in excellent spirits, had this
morning crossed the Belgian frontier, on

A Lrc.Say,ng Lesson in pl,ysics.

Ii is well known fact that any per.
son of average structure and lung Gu
pacity will float securely in water if care
is taken to keep the hands and arms sub
merged aud the lungs full of air. Yet
IN most cases persons who are not swim.
mers Immediately raise their hands above
their head and scream the moment they
find themselves In deep water. The
folly of such action can be impressively
illustrated by means of half-emptv
bottle and n couple of nails and the
experiment should he repeated in every
house hold until all the members
particularly the women and children
realize that the only chance for safety
10 deep water lies in keeping the hands
under and the mouth shut. Any short
necked, quare-shouldered bottle will
answer, and the nails can he easily kept
in place by rubber band or a string.
First ballast the bottle with sand. so that
it will just float with the nails pointing
downward, then by turning the arms up
ward, the bottle will either be forced un-
der water ut once or will be tipped over
so that the water will pour into the open
mouth, and down it will go. To chill
dren the experiment is n very impressive
one and the moral of it is understood.
The vital value of this precaution was
strilsingly illustrated near Accomac c.
H., Virginia. A niece of the Hon. John
Nicely, while bathing, was swept off into
the ocean by q strong current and soon
dis appeared in the high breakers. AS
she could not swim her companions gave
her up for lost. Two young fishermen
who were employed some distance away
thoughtfully set out with small boat in
search of her, and when mile or more
from shore, found her floating on the
water. She had been drifting nearly mn
hour and was greatly exhausted, but soon
| recovered. Unable to swim she had
pluckily fioated, thereby making her
rescue possible. Scientific american.

Minstrel Jokes.

The origin of the banjo dates back to
the time of the Pharaohs, one of these
instruments having been found in the
tomb of royal family by a relic-hunter
in Egypt. 1t is described as being of
the exact form of those played by our
negro minstrels. We didn't suppose the
banjo was SO ancient. III the relic-hunt-
er had found in the same spot the identi-
cal jokes used by our negro minstrels we
sbculd not have been surprised.
