A PRAc.r,AL joker.

Joseph Prulhomme was much given
to practical joking. He cal eel one day
at a porter's lodge, and addres ed the
watchful occupant thus;
as M. Henri Monnier az honc?.
"No, sir. He is not here; lie does
not live here"
Eyes, he is here Moanier returned,
afor am Henri Monnier y 49,.
The next day he called again, his
face made up and not recognizable.
M. Henri Monnier?" he asked
@Not here, sir"
"Yes. he is; I am Henri Monnier,"
then disappearing as before. The fol-
lowing day he cal ed again, and the
same dialogue occurred. This time the
porter lost patience, and said:
"If you come here again, l will an
swer you with a broom-stick.
Monnier then wrote TO his friends, in
forming them that he had changed his
lodgings, giving his new address at tho
house Of the mystified porter, and in
yiting them to q house warming in the
evening.
@Ahl you are here aga'n, are you?7
was the porter's reply to the first visitor
who inquired for NJ. Henri Monnier,
followed mp by a hail Of blows from .
stick. The same punishment awaited
all the other guests that came in suc-
cession.

storative for my daughter, whom
/ was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
terrible disease, under the care Of
eminent physicians, 1 was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle Of BRowN's
IRON BITTKRs, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs Of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re-
CURED" and when informed that
the elder sister was taking Browns
IRON BTrrKRs, responded "that is
a good tonic, take it..

the JURY SYSTEM.

A great many years ago it was dis
covered that the jury system was
more often an avenue of escape for
criminals than a guarantee efimpar-
tial trial. Every day the instances
are multiplied wherein justice is
defeated through the action of men
who either Intentionally in order to
SHIELD friend, or innocently bound
by the rules ofevidence find verdict
not in accordance with facts. 1t is
never too late to mend, and our next
Legislature might pass some of its
slime profitably, framing an amend
ment to the State Constitution which
could be voted upon two years hence.

OUR NEXT STATE OFFICERS

The Republican party never before
put up 50 strong ticket as the one
Just placed in the field by the Reno
Convention. There was good mate
rial from which to choose and the
best was chosen. Without the dis
sensions which now exist in the DEM
ocrstic party the present candidates
would he almost certain of victory,
and as there is an irreconcilble quar-
rel between the two factions of the
opposite party the election of the
Republican ticket may now be assur-
red. 1t is gratifying to support for
office gentlemen who will so wortt.ily
fill the positions of which the present
political conditions render them as
sured. Our next Gorvenor Mr.. +
Strother, has served the party faith
fully for years, and for the first time
asks tor office at its hands As Gov
ernor he will bring ripe experience
in business, and sound judgement to
the administration of affairs of State.
With an irreproachable record he
adds to the party strength. Untram-
meled by corporations, with wisdom
to see the right, and firmness to act
upon his judgment, he will be Gov
ernor of the State of Nevada, and
his acts as Governor will be not in
the interest of few, or a majority,
but 10 the interest of all.
Chas. E. Laughton, the nominee for
Lieutenant Governor, is capable,
popular and incompatible. He is
thoroughly conversant with parlia-
mentary proceedings and no one is
better qualified to preside over the
deliberation of the Senate.
c. c. Powning has been a repre-
sentative man of the party for years,
and we'll deserves the mark of appre.
citation he has received in the nomi-
nation for Congress. 1t is safe to
predict that be will not be an Idle
representative, and that his constitu
ents will point with pride to his
record at the close of the term of
office.
Of Judge Leonard but little isnec
essary to be said. He has ably filled
place on the Supreme bench, and
with added experience will for anoth-
er term be just and intelligent
Judge.
J. F. Halleck has shown that he Is
the right man in the State Controllers
office, and will continue to deserve
the confidence of the people.
Every body knows Uncle George
Tufly, and that the State funds will
be safe in his care.
]. M. Dormer makes his first essay
at State craft as Secretary of State,
but will perform the duties of his
office as satisfactorily as he edits the
True F1Ssure intelligently.
W. H. Davenport, the candidate
for Attorney General, is we'll able to
take care of the legal Interests of the
State.
As Clerk of the Supreme Court
Chas. F. Bicknell is endorsed as com
petent and obliging by attorneys Of
both parties.
c. s. Young understands the re.
auirements of the educational in
terests of the State and will be an
active and energetic executive. He
has long been connected with our

porinten1ent, and has always given
satisfaction.

The Comet.

New York, November 1.-THE captain Of
the brig Letitia which arrived to-day from
Miragoane, reports that September 81 when
near S.. Marc, Hayt, large comet of great
briliancy was seen bearing east by south and
visible for some time after the sun rose. He
says: "The comet has been visible in Hayti
for some time and is very large and brilliant
AS we came north it diminished in size and
brightness and appeared to be moving in a
more southerly direction over Hayt. 1t was
seen as late as 10 a. m. in the day and ap-
peared much larger than on our approach to
New York. Most people in Hayh think
their last days have come. After the comet
of last year they had the smallpox and lost
upward of 60, 600 lives throughout the domin-
ions. They always look upon comet as a
bad omen, and are at loss to know what
trouble this will bring them"

The Worlds Largest Landowner.

Daniel Murphys funeral will take place to-
morrow. He was pioneer, having come to
California in 1854. His business ever since
he came to California has been stock raising
He first had large tracts in the south end of
this county, and as his herds grew he went
into the San Joaquin valley. The mo fence"
law forced him to take his cattle to Nevada.
He also owned 400, 900 acres Of land in that
state when he died, and 6,ooo 900 in the state
of Durango, Mexico, and large tracts in Ar-
IONA, and was, at the time of his death, the
largest landowner in the world.-A1izona
Citizen, October "a.
